    I usually just have one image and some text or a combination of the two! I don't think I've ever collaborated because I like doing my own thing. Also if I ever have text, it's usually just links to other places, no sentences or anything really.
     
    I'm kind of in between. I like to mix things up. Currently, my theme is made up of CSS from something Steve had on his site. I usually just do something simple without the use of images. I guess with my new hero, I wanted to go with something that would make me smile every time I made a post somewhere. X3 It just depends on my mood to be totally honest.

    I used to but... nowadays, I find it harder if I'm obsessed with someone. It tends to make it a challenge for me to go outside of that obsession too. With Takeru, I've been through a lot with him. I used to hate his guts because when he was younger, he used to be such a cocky little childish bastard. However, I started to slowly grow to like him. When I was involved with some fakes, he was also one of the ones I met that turned out to be fake. He eventually became my big brother. Now, after learning he's got at least two mental health issues and a heart condition, it's made me realize how amazing he is at being strong and positive. Now, he's literally my hero. I just wish I could tell him how much he means to me before it's too late...

    Sorry about that. What I mean to say is that... it can be hard for me to go out of my obsession barrier. I ended up sitting out on the most recent supporter collaboration because of an obsession of mine. I wanted to do it, but I couldn't bare leaving my current obsession at that time. So, I usually end up not doing them for those reasons.

    I do like have CSS themes, only thing is I am too lazy to make them. In the past I used to make my own GFX but also less motivation for that too. Nowdays it's just to craft up a gif or icon set or whatever.
     
    Mine is a simple gif in the center of my signature sprinkled with a really simple CSS. I've never changed the CSS aside from the color actually, 'cause I feel like it's nice and simple. Normally I'd add a quote corresponding to the theme I'm using.

    Of course, if anyone wants to do a collab then feel free to ask. I don't mind collabs. But no one has really asked me to join on a collab though so... eh, can't answer that.
     
    I stick to a simple text + images in my signature, or sometimes just text that's modified to look pretty. The bottom stuff is usually just links to some of my other handles, and of course stuff I'm involved in. I always like to center it because it's neat when it's like that.

    I mostly try different stuff every now and then and experiment with things, but my most iconic themes are the various Oshawott ones I've had over the years, especially because I have so many Oshawott avatars in my storage. Alongside my Oshawott themes, some other fave themes I've used include Froakie, Chandelure (I tend to do those every Halloween), Wooper, shiny Corsola (my fave best-looking shiny), alt-J and Foster The People (which happens to be what I have up at this moment).

    I did sometimes use CSS back in 2013, but I always kept the same coding because I'm not very good with it and I found it a hassle at times. As for theme collabs, I have been in 5 of them so far, with the following themes:

    #1 - Pansage (Green Pokemon)
    #2 - Marlon (Gym Leaders)
    #3 - Pikachu (SSB characters)
    #4 - Marill (G/S/C/Pt Pokemon for new supporter system)
    #5 - Oshawott (Baby + Base-stage Pokemon)

    I also once did two mini-collabs, a Kyurem collab with Mid a.k.a. revere where I was White Kyurem and he was Black Kyurem. And both of us also did another mini-collab with Gunner a.k.a. arachnidsGrip featuring the Kalos starters. Mid was Chespin, Gunner was Fennekin and I was Froakie.

    I don't normally adhere to a strict theme. Most of the time, I have similar avatars and profile pictures but a signature that has been randomly plucked from my illustrious library of .gifs. This raccoon theme is one of the few times I've kept everything consistent.

    I keep my signatures in the middle at all times (symmetry), and the only time I've ever participated in a 'collab' was when I decided to make fun of a forum staff one I thought was a bit silly by putting my own spin on things a looooooooooooong while ago. I don't have strong enough ties with a particular group on the site (aside from the server guys, who never do collabs) to participate in any.
