I know I’m not the target audience for this question since I’m still fartin’ around in the Newbie Queue for a bit longer, but my suggestion would be something that YOU are passionate about. You won’t find a flavor that the majority or possibly any of the players for your game are both familiar and passionate about. Pick something that intrigues you, and your interest in whatever you choose will likely inspire you to go all out with the flavored posts, and as a result, your players will take interest.

Then again, a lot of players don’t really pay attention to flavor in Newbies/Normals, so maybe don’t overthink it. You could always browse through the completed newbie games for ideas. Some of the regular mods there always flavor their games, and some don’t at all. The ones that do seem to pick things that they themselves are interested in.

My only suggestion is if you post videos in VC's please spoiler them so mobile users do not die loading the mod ISO.

Memes and funny shit always make for an enjoyable flavor, but nice pictures or fun facts about some subject are also good.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

you could do a SECRET theme where every votecount you give a hint as to what the real theme is and then reveal it after the game's over

Yes of course, I'd obviously would keep my own interests in mind. But I'm just trying to get an general sense and idea of what works and what doesn't.

That sounds fun but also very difficult to actually do.

Have a plan before you start

By which I mean, don’t just say “I wanna do X flavor” and not have prep work done beforehand. Make lists of things you want to feature, and make it a long list. You might overshoot the amount of VCs you need, so prioritize bits you want to focus on the most.

Pet Peeves and then each votecount is just a thing that you don't like and why

You could make the VC be sentences from pieces of literature.

How about posting youtube videos of specific topics or themes and such.
