Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool fancrafts/fanarts/fics/fanvids/podfics/some other kind of fanwork have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled

Check out these BTS fanarts! (✿◕‿◕✿)

[glitteryv]

* Untitled Yoonji fanart by mintdr_earn - I like everything from her pose to her workout gear.


* Untitled VMinKook fanart by taeches - Not-quite-NSFW but there's kissage and consensual groping involved? Everyone's clothed, tho. IDK, it's Maknae line making out. >:D


* Osaka 🚗💨 by - Cute Hobi fanart of him wearing one of his fits during his recent trip to Japan. The jacket is based on a real one by a designer that Hobi wears often. >:D


* JIN RAMEN🍜 by isashikis - Jin making sure he has enough Jin ramen to last him for at least a week, hahah. It's a sweet kind of kismet marketing, really (Also, like 90% of the BTS canon, actually true too.) His expression is so on point here. I love this piece.


* In the Seom Jimmini embroidery brooch 🥺💜 by BroochByMar - This is so detailed and delicate at the same time!


* Sope bask in the sun. 🌻 by KRAYCIP - Mellow, late afternoon vibes featuring Hobi and Yoongi. Awww!


* kitty&cat 🖤 by lynahcz - This one is a 3-for-1: there's Yoongi with long hair, his yet-to-be-seen-by-anyone-not-in-BTS and/or-the-tattoo-artist "7" tattoo, and (one of?) his (alleged) cat(s).

Hooray for the cat dad!Yoongi agenda and how it continues to thrive. :DDDD

Back to my usual reccing of lesser known or new MDZS/The Untamed fics:

The sparrow's curious song by Mhalachai (13k)
Summary: One day in Lanling, a little blind beggar picks Nie Huaisang’s pocket, which is the most interesting thing to happen to him in months. (AKA the one where Nie Huaisang adopts A-Qing.) (wonderful AU where NHS's revenge takes a bit of a sidestep)

Yunmeng Shuangjie Reconciliation Speedrun, Any %, No Yanlis, 8.5k by Mikkeneko (8.5k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng's relationship has been strained since the confrontation at Guanyin Temple. It is a rift that might take years to heal, if it ever does. That is, unless some unscrupulous persons decide to meddle... (a plan to get WWX out of Jin Ling's life goes awry, a delightful read)

(no one else can) take me there by azurewaxwing (4k)
Summary: In his recent article in Contemporary Theories of Cultivation, Lan (2019) sets out to study the correlation between instrument choice and outcomes in the liberation of spirits. While his main thesis appears sound, his decision to limit the study to the qin, dizi, xiao and pipa undermines his conclusions. This decision falls prey to the fallacy that tradition cannot be questioned. It ignores, too, the fact that many practising cultivators will encounter spirits that will have no exposure to such “expectations.” In a small study comparing the use of a dizi with a theremin—undoubtedly a non-traditional choice—the theremin produced optimal outcomes in liberating spirits where: time since death was less than 6 months; spirit was younger than 25 and older than 17 at time of death; or spirit motivation included aspects of revenge. The conclusions reached in Lan (2019), while providing a foundation for future study, are therefore as yet incomplete. - Mo Xuanyu; Cultivation Studies, Center for East Asian Studies, Stanford University (a great modern-with-cultivation AU told via articles, emails and texts)

[andersenmom]

The second one was utterly delightful! Thank you so much for reccing it!

[screechfox]

Seconding the rec for (no one else can) take me there! I really enjoyed it for the academia/epistolary elements, and the way it adapts canon events is so interesting!

The sparrow's curious song was so good!

Spoilers

I like that Nie Huaisang doesn't give up on revenge, just learns to have other things in his life besides the obsessive wait for vengeance. (It's in the tags so it probably isn't actually spoilers, but better safe than sorry!)

[glitteryv]

Thank you for reccing lesser known and/or newer fics. :D

[seerofrage]

Good handful of art recs and a couple of fic recs this week! Fandoms are: Mob Psycho 100, Pokémon, Fullmetal Alchemist, Haikyuu!!, and Servamp <3

The art:

MP100
.Shimazaki/Teru by chflwhgoa1; this is so sweet and fun omg, Teru looks so fond in that one panel, and I love how the moment changes when Shimazaki pulls him in haha. <3

.Tome/Takenaka by winddy_rain; this is so much fun omg, I love Tome in the suit and Takenaka in the dress, and all the aliens surrounding them are so funny, I love this a lot! :D <3

.Shimazaki by mutaba000; these are so cool, I love the mask and the smoke, he looks so good, and I honestly can't decide which version I like better, him with or without the eye makeup, they're both great! :D <3

."No~ I'm not a bad person. I'm Hanazawa's cute cat." Shimazaki/Teru and Reigen by k6m0p; this is so much fun, haha, I love it! Such a fun little ploy by Shimazaki. :D <3

.Ekubo by 77teafor; this is so cool, I love everything going on here, the neon colors, the warping of the mask, his eyes, his sharp teeth and wild tongue, how his suit morphs into bone, it's all super cool! :D

.Three views inside the car, Reigen/Mob by puppu_nddnd; this is so much fun omg, I love pieces like this that showcase snapshots of relationships and how they progress, it's sweet. <3

Pokémon
.Adaman/Irida in winter and summer by fuji__sn; this is so fun omg! I love the little bits from the game about Adaman running cold and Irida running warm and how they can't stand the climate of where the other lives, and this piece is so fun, I love how they tease and laugh at each other in these. :D <3

FMA
.this is all i got from the death of the undying episode, Lust/Riza/Roy by tomochingus; I love this art meme a lot, and the three of them look great, this is such a cool piece! <3

HQ!!
.annoyingly cute kouhai ♡ Oikawa/Kageyama by marureenu; this is so cute omg! I love both of their expressions and their little blushes, and Kageyama sitting in Oikawa's lap. :D <3

And for the fic:

The Things We Spill and Share by snowflight
Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Adaman/Irida, T, 13306 words;
-Creator chose not to warn; minor character death, hurt/comfort, enemies to lovers;
Because at some point as they hated and fought and spat, as they circled each other in their futile dance, their feet had fallen into the same step, their hearts the same rhythm.

or: a very, very enemies-to-lovers take on this ship

I love the worldbuilding in this and the grimmer, more realistic take on the two clans and the war they've been at for centuries, and the relationship progression between Adaman and Irida is really good! I enjoyed it a lot. <3

The Wretched and the Joyful by ultramarcypan
Servamp, Kamiya Tsurugi, Yumikage Tsukimitsu, Kurumamori Junichiorou, T, 10790 words;
-Creator chose not to warn; fluff, family dynamics;
Because, despite whatever the world may think, they're just as human as anyone else. But, even above that, they're family, first and foremost.

A series of one shots examining the C3 trio's friendship and lives.

These are so incredibly sweet omg, and are so, so domestic, it makes my heart so happy omg! Gen but can absolutely be read as shippy, it hits that sweet spot in between where the definition doesn't matter too much and you can tell they're each other's most important people, which is something I really enjoy. <3

[vriddy]

The Mob/Reigen three times in a car is so cool, omg :D Nice slices of life that show so much!

And the FMA meme one...!! 😳 Splendid!

I really enjoyed this charming and funny Ghosts (2019 UK) ensemble fic from Trick or Treat Exchange!

And things that go bump in the night (1719 words) by eye_of_a_cat
Trying to plan for Halloween in a house full of ghosts should be much, much easier than this.

[glitteryv]
