If I'm interpreting the title correctly (and if the Wikipedia article is to be trusted), it's named after the observations of moonquakes by the Apollo missions. Apparently, during these quakes the moon does indeed ring like a bell. I'd say that's one heck of a lunar celebration!

Can we also give a shout-out to the random scry I opened up the workshop to? It was what inspired me both to use the baby pose as a base and Ice Goat eyes to represent the moon.

I was asleep when the event started, is it too late to join in for Sunday's Theme?

@DrShadowCipher -
So, the cut-off has already passed for entry tickets to Sunday's daily prize, but you can absolutely post something for Sunday's theme if you'd like to earn one of the daily badges, once we've got those set up!

Also, since every scrying and dressing entry counts for a ticket towards the Grand Prize raffle as well, you can definitely also take advantage of our missed day policy!! Here's the part of the rules about that:

Did you know that the zodiac cycle of the Eastern Zodiac includes not just animals, but elements? That cycle is known as Wuxing. This year, the element is Wood, which is associated with strength and flexibility, as well as warmth, generosity, cooperation, and idealism. Sometimes also translated as Tree, the element is represented by green and cyan / teal colors, living plants, and tall vertical themes (like trees!) -- how does the Wood element and its virtues inspire you?

While my dreams fly to you in a foreign domain, I'm repeating your name to the flowers in vain.
