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

BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here

Celebrating My birthday alongside BTS' RM with amazing fanarts. 🥳🥳🥳

[glitteryv]

* you're my wish come true by agustbites - Nothing like a soft RM/Yoongi moment…


* happy birthday to our biggest love, namu 🌱🤍✨ by Meliminart - Such a happy-making fanart of Joonie in nature.


* i hear it's joonie's birthday by kevinkevinsonnn - A cute scene from Season 3 of Bon Voyage in which same-age friends Hobi and RM have a few drinks. The artist captured Joonie's v. loving and tender gaze toward Hobi so v. well!


* Lovely Wild Flower: Indigo 💙 by Severinlee1 - RM wearing a hanbok is something that shouldn't make me <3____<3 and yet, here we are!


* Happy birthday, Namjoon 🌿🍃 by rinee_rin - A good collage of Namjooning (the fanart has an explanation of what that is.)


* — 🌱 김남준 ! by studioagust - All the things that RM likes to do.


* yeah buy the water filter or whatever by miniminouuu - Context: BTS (both individually and in pairs) has filmed many ads for Coway. This piece is based on a RM/Seokjin commercial. One that totally gives domestic shippy vibes.

Marvelous set of icons screen_icons for the "lush lavender" challenge. My favorite is probably tinny's Grogu icon, but pick your favorite! https://screen-icons.dreamwidth.org/33368.html

Also, two sets of Merlin and Arthur fanart created as part of the After Camlann Big Bang challenge, both by kairennart (Personaje):

three mdzs/untamed fic recs from me today:

missing you (but not anymore) by goodnyte (2.5k)
Summary: The position of Chief Cultivator eats at Lan Wangji worse than any other role or duty he's performed in his life. That he does it while separated from someone he loves and who he'd just gotten back? It borders on cruelty. (short but sweet post-canon h/c fic)

a grave is all too weak a thing by Reverie (cl410) (3k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian wasn’t sure what was worse– having his soul hijacked by a very forbidden, very dangerous Sacrificial Summoning array, or the fact that this Mo Xuanyu person had managed to fuck up the array in ways Wei Wuxian couldn’t even begin to comprehend.

Jiang Yanli woke with an ache in her chest like her heart had been gouged out with a rusty spoon.

Jin Zixuan’s first thought when he opened his eyes to the sky above Qiongqi Pass was that his mediation skills clearly needed some work.

Wen Qing woke with vengeance blazing through her veins, the flames fanned higher with every beat of her resurrected heart. (fascinating short canon-divergent AU, I could easily have read another 10x more of this to see where it might have gone)

Knit Witted Wei Ying by TriviasFolly (17k)
Summary Snippet: Knitting and Wei Ying had a love hate relationship. He loved the constant motion, the sounds of the needles brushing against each other, the way a particularly soft yarn slid through his fingers. The way that he could combine two stitches to create thousands of different patterns and outcomes, just like his beloved binary code. But, unlike his computer programing, knitting had a bad reputation. Well, not exactly bad but a gendered reputation. It wasn't true, but it prevent Wei Ying from being unable to separate the idea of knitting from little old ladies. (adorable no cultivation modern AU, although WWX is completely wrong here, it's knitting that's witchcraft, not crochet :D)

One quick Leverage rec (which cracked me up):

You consume its soul (side effects may vary) by OnyxBird (350 words)
A little ficlet, but I snickered. Eliot & Quinn.

Just the one Naruto art rec! Naruto by itikanoko_ZT; this is cool! I love his mask and the silhouette of the tails behind him. :D
