Life just went overboard on crazy and I may not make many theme teams in the next couple months.  Hopefully, by June, things will slow down a bit for me and I can definitely return!  You may see me hit and miss until then, but I just don't make any guarantees!

 

Ya'll have fun!

 

Yo @EmmySky, had to think this would be for you maybe?

 

 

 

Take Care 😉

OH GREAT HAHAHA and it figures I'm on a melee this time, thanks for the heads up. May I offer you a few Sudden Accelerations? 😄 I can't wait to see your costume. I saw Mister Marzipan online and send him message the other day. Yours is even more delicious than mine!

 

Yes, I saw it too late, would have caught up with you.

 

I did go on a Posi1 with Mr M after that, in a team full of Masterminds with FF and stuff.

 

I think we were wiped 3 times before the 1st simulacrum was killed (Which, btw, was mine, the 1st time that I actively blasted myself out of the water in this. And a testament to the squishiness of that toon! 😆)

It has been a while that a Posi TF Boss Fight turned southwards so hard...

I was on a character I was trying out that I named Bubblegum Lollipop, when I was going for more of a sassy vibe. I spent hours trying different ATs and different looks, and finally I came up with something I really liked!

 

But then I kept seeing Trixie's description of "your favorite candy" and I realized I don't like either bubblegum or lollipops.... LOL, so then I thought what do I love..... coconut! and chocolate!  And then it hit me that back on live I had a novelty character named Coconut Patty and I looked up my old screenshots and thought the old costume was pretty nice and somehow it wasn't saved in my old costume files, so I recreated it. And voila, Coconut Patty was reborn! I picked my BS/inv brute who didn't really have a persona yet, and tried to make her as coconutty as possible!

I was thinking Mounds because... you know.... the candy of course... (and the double entendre 🤣)

Bubblegum Lollipop

I love that name too! But, yes...your favorite candy 😄 I actually have a few candy toons...Cotton Candy, Candy Canes, and I can't remember who else right this second. But now I have Hard Candy...I love all hard candy...Jolly Ranchers, Life Savers, Butterscotch discs, Cinnamon discs, Starlight mints, and Werther's...but my favorite hard candy is reflected with my costume. You'll have to guess when you see her, although I think it's easy to figure out! Unfortunately, my favorite is the only one I can't find sugar-free.

[TygerDarkstorm]

I have a hard time picking a favorite anything (my "favorites" change constantly; thanks ADHD), but I do like Kit Kat bars and a character concept came to mind immediately for that one. 😄 Then I realized @FrauleinMental had already picked Kit Kat, so I hope she doesn't mind being twins, lol

It says „favorite candy“! Nobody will complain, if you both have the same taste! 
I am very curious to see how these turn out. Would be funny if you actually created twins, because Kit Kat comes... you know... in 2 bars 🙂

Yes me too, and when I first read the event as favorite candy the first thing that popped to mind was Almond Joy. But then I had to think about what that would look like and how silly it sounded as a girl's name. LOL. Mounds as a double entendre is just a given! 😄

That is so interesting that you love all those hard candies! I could care less about hard candy or those fruit flavors, and prefer a gooey chocolate crunchy with nuts. Funny you should mention Starlight Mints, I was having so much fun that day creating candy stripe costumes and I actually got the name Starlight Mint! But I don't like to use trademarked names so I deleted it. 😮  

 

So Bubblegum Lollipop lives on, as a staff/WP scrapper, whose destiny is still undecided.....

I love Kit Kats too! I love chocolate paired with anything crunchy, be it nuts or cookies or coconut or rice bits (like in a Nestle Crunch).

The first thing that hit me was from the movie Hudson Hawk.  One of the villain groups is the Candy Bars, with Kit Kat, Almond Joy, Snickers, and Butterfinger.

Well, I'm glad we picked Candy and not Diseases as OUR theme! 🙂

 

Almond Joy: Candy bars. Well, it's better than when we first started out. Our code names were diseases. You know what it's like being called Chlamydia for a year?!?

"Favorite Candy" Costume theme - Synapse - Saturday 4/17/12

I just got one with the New Candy Bars.

I forgot to get pics of the Clockwork Lord, who was a total chump.  I'd forgotten he was an EB, not an AV.  Imagine my shock when Build Up + Assassin Strike dropped him by like 60%.

 

 

 When we logged, I forgot to reset my /screenshotui setting. 🙂  So this is the TF completion screen from my POV.

 

And a couple shots outside to try to get pics of everyone:

 

 

[FrauleinMental]

Ruby Kit Kat will return for the Operative Renault SF.

[TygerDarkstorm]

@Midnyte I love that you added the pics of our candies with our characters! 😄

 

@TrixieKixx Your costume for your candy was perfect now that I see the pic next to you. 😄

 

Of course, as always, I feel that everyone looked fantastic! 😄

My submission for the GEM TEAM..... ice/ice stalker will be reporting for duty as my January birthstone, Garnet Frost.  🤩

[socom242]

Man I really miss hanging with you all!!!

 

I'm gonna try and make it this coming Saturday. Fair warning, I may have to leave within an hour so I dunno if it'll be worth it.

 

But I'm gonna try

 

Please add "Sumiregusa", which is Japanese for "Violet", I realize it's not a Gem/Jewel. I'll have to hunt around for a name and maybe rename and make a placeholder.

 

She's a Psionic Melee/Shield Defense Stalker

 

Hope to see you there 😄
