Introducing our October Event... Of Wisps and Whispers!

Throughout October, you'll see us post with specialized event tables denoting the post or thread is part of the event with the header at the top reading "Of Wisps and Whispers"—we might enter your threads or make our own, so keep an eye out! Of course, we have plenty of spooky creatures to introduce thanks to all of your submissions from September, so expect to see them as well >:)

First up is CotM @Pollux images made by Dark!

I don't know if you've used our style codes before, but most of us just throw the style tag code into our signatures and then you only need to post with the div code in your posts! :)

Code:

(place in signature)
[style] .polluxcotm {background: #281b26 url("https://i.imgur.com/mIc86kt.png") no-repeat center top; text-align: justify; color: #b260d7; font-size: 11px; border-radius: 20px; padding: 410px 0px 30px 0px; width: 550px; margin: auto;} .polluxcotm>p thk {font-style: italic; color: #f2a5f3;} .polluxcotm>p {padding: 0px 40px 0px 40px;} [/style]

(use in posts)
<div class="polluxcotm"><p>
