Lunarpunk is a subgenre of solarpunk with a darker aesthetic. It portrays the nightlife, spirituality, and more introspective side of solarpunk utopias. It can be defined as "Witchy Solarpunk." Aesthetically, lunarpunk usually is presented with pinks, purples, blues, black, and silver with an almost omnipresence of bioluminescent plants and especially mushrooms

As we are approaching the winter time with the solstice, I find myself wondering what to you is Lunarpunk in the winter time? What is something you add to the aesthetic in your eyes?

I think the calm and quiet of a heavy snowfall, handmade comfort foods, and long conversations in the evening by a fire all scream winter lunarpunk to me. Something about how solitary and peaceful the winter is seems very fitting for a lunarpunk asthetic. A time for reflection and new understanding.

That makes a lot of sense, the idea of time together.

Calm nights that are lit quite well by moon and snow that is high enough to have fun, but not enough to make big troubles. Would love to see some inspo board!

That sounds lovely, and I agree with seeing an inspiration board off ideas like that.
