The Pun Tyrant
Hey everyone! How's it going?
This October I held an event here on RPN similar to what is known as "Inktober", but instead of making art, we RPN users would switch our profile pic. Since it was relatively successful the first time around, I decided I would hold a second one for December instead. If you would like to check the first one, follow this link: Other - Spoopy Profile Shenanigans! (October Profile Pic challenge for funsies)
I want to apologize for starting late, I had a two-part important exam this weekend, so it wasn't possible for me to really get the themes and thread ready before now. However, now I'm here and ready to roll!
Last thing before I deliver those themes, is to explain for newcomers how this is going to work. It's a relatively simple set up don't worry. Below you will find a list of themes, and each day you change your profile pic to the theme of the day, then you post the pic or a link to the pic here on this thread (recommended: Making a single post and editing it over time, so as to not spam the thread). That is it. You can jump in, leave or take a break at any time, no questions asked. It's just a personal challenge for fun. There will be a couple small contests, however, for anyone who wants to add in some extra spice!
Contest 1: Every day or couple of days, those who wish to participate in this contest (inform me) will have their profile pic for the previous day presented for all to see, and anyone who wants to vote. The winner is decided by the number of votes, naturally. There are two rules: You can't win unless you yourself vote (with failure to vote more than twice resulting in disqualification) and you cannot vote on your own pic. You can participate in this contest only in select days if you wish.
Contest 2: The second challenge is a bit more continuous! Try telling a story through the pics you choose. Use each pic, in sequence to tell a story. Bonus: Actually write the story!
Contest 3: Follow a set theme. Basically have a secondary team that you mix with the daily themes in your choice of profile pic for the days!
And now, without further ado, here are the themes!

I am quite aware that some of the chosen themes might be a little...controversial. "Pan Pride" and "Hannukah" in particular. However, with both of those I chose one because it was internationally celebrated as the "pan Pride day" and the other because it was just after the end of the celeberation (both according to wikipedia). As such, I have no intention of bringing any problems to anyone or causing a flame war. If anything like that seems on the horizon at any point, I will promptly change those themes to something else.
