Oh man, you just do it all, don’t you?? Uh I guess since your inbox is open, could I request a blog theme? I’ve been meaning to make everything coherent somehow but I’m not artistically inclined. Like at all.
I’m not like 100% sure how to go about this. But overall theme-wise, I’m very much going for the cosmic/moon sort of idea. Galaxies. Moons. Stars. That sort of stuff. My main color would be purple (like a rich purple that’s more saturated rather than dark, if that makes any sense) and supporting colors would be silver and blue. Obviously Supernatural is kinda my thing, so if you wanted to include that somehow, I wouldn’t be opposed. But it’s not necessary.
I’m not very good with aesthetics, and am entirely open to playing around with things. I’m also incredibly daft and not even sure I’d know how to use a blog theme. But I’m sure I could learn lol
💜💜💜 you’re awesome, lovely~
Thank you, thank you, I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none lol. (lil music references for ya)
As for your theme, first up, gotta say, I love the vibe of your blog, purple's my favourite colour and I just love the look of your blog in general so this theme is gonna be a treat!
I came up with this design concept thing, this is only a few shades of colours but I thought it might help you in visualizing what you want.
The blues - silver is so you can visualize different shades with each purple to see what you like, I can do plenty more shades of either. Those are only 5 fonts but they're a little taste of different options, I literally have thousands of options you can pick from so it's exactly what you want. Those are a few galaxy/stars pics I found but it's a-okay if you don't like any or want to mix and match or anything, again, it's just for the basic look so you can see what you do and don't like.
I also put together some graphics you can choose from to add to your theme, the colours can all be changed, this is just for easier visibility.
I have plenty more but these are just some celestial themed options.
Here are the main banners from my favourite blog themes I've made.
My current one:
One requested by a lovely follower:
A recurring theme for both is song lyrics, we now know how much music means to each other lol and I loved including lyrics throughout my blog theme. I actually had four pages I had to sift through to pick the perfect ones lol. For example, my theme is based on Castiel, mainly a fallen Angel theme with added Castiel things like the blue & tan and the bees. What can I say? I'm down bad for that Angel. All of the lyrics either have an Angel theme, Supernatural theme or make me think of Cas in some way. On my main banner above, I have the lyrics "But I'm the only one who'll walk across the fire for you. And I'm the only one who'll drown in my desire for you" from I'm The Only One by Melissa Etheridge, although I prefer the Glee cover - this makes me think of Cas when he pulled Dean out of Hell. And "No fair, you really know how to make me cry when you give me those ocean eyes. I'm scared, I've never fallen from quite this high, fallin' into your ocean eyes" from ocean eyes by Billie Eilish because I DARE you to tell me his eyes aren't magical lol.
You can see the continuity through my theme by the recurring elements like the background, colours, border and falling Angel. With each header, I change the image on the right and the song lyric, which you can see in these:
Lyric: "I cry when angels deserve to die" from Chop Suey! by System of a Down
Lyric: "Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain" from Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift, a very Destiel song.
Lyric: "I'm so in love that it's painful, I think you're an angel" from Missing You by Stephen Sanchez & Ashe - which incidentally, is how I feel about Cas.
Lyric: "You can't stop the angels from taking what you know" from As I Stand Before The Coffin by Cameron Whitcomb - still hurts just thinking about it.
Lyric: "I guess there's nothing more romantic than dying with your friends" from Til Forever Falls Apart by Ashe featuring FINNEAS
Lyric: "Earth Angel, Earth Angel, will you be mine?" from Earth Angel by The Penguins
Lyric: "All that Grace, all that body, all that face, makes me wanna party" from Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey
Another thing I like with my theme is that the main quote on my blog is another lyric "Falling like Angels, out of the dark and into a dream" from ANGEL SONG by NOTHING MORE so that ties everything else in nicely.
And I make specific dividers to match the theme like this one. The curly ones surrounding all of my headers are to tie in with the cursive font.
My typical blog theme comes with headers with each of these titles:
Welcome
Navigation
Rules
About Me
Posting Schedule
Fic Recs
Taglist
Works
Masterlist
Series
One-Shots
Drabbles
I'm happy to make each of these but you're also welcome to only pick a few or specific ones you'd like. For example, Sam Winchester Masterlist, or literally anything you'd like.
I like to change my theme from time to time (though I don't see myself parting with this one for a long time!) so I personally like to keep my Masterlists a bit different to my blog theme so I don't have to change them. I recently re-did all of my Supernatural Masterlists and will do the same with all of my other fandoms eventually but here's one as an example:
I also like to add dividers on the top and bottom of each header because I feel like it softens things but that's just a personal choice:
Here's the link to a set of those dividers, I'm also happy to make more customised ones for you if you like them. I've made a bunch of Supernatural dividers so if you want to see more just search #supernatural some are pretty old so sorry for lack of quality lol. I did make four basic Supernatural blog themes though so you might see something you like.
Here's the link to my Sam Masterlist so you can see the way it's formatted too. I'm not sure if you're looking at changing any of your formatting along with your blog theme (I did when I changed mine) so if you are let me know and I have a few random tips for that too like how to add coloured text in posts and the such.
Here's the link to a basic space blog theme if you're interested. This is the kind of theme I make when it's just a simple prompt like space/stars, you can search #blog theme for more.
Here's the link to a wonderful, wonderful website with an absurd amount of fonts, I love it so much. If you find any fonts you like, send me the link/s in your next ask and I can add them to some concept designs once you decide what you like!
So, I guess that was a lot lol but let me know when you make any more decisions and I'll get crackin'!
