recthething | Community Recs Post!

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/fanvids/other kinds of fanworks/fics/podfics/fanart 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.

Also, gonna take a second here to thank everyone who has posted recs here. Whether it was one or multiple moments of squeeing abt something you just gotta share with the world, seeing all kinds of fanworks (from a AWESOMECAKES variety of fandoms!) getting a rec has been greatness, really. So, once again, thanks, y'all!.

Hope your holidays are groovycakes and that 2025 will be a safe and happy year. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Given that Christmas in South Korea is seen as more of a romantic/couple-y holiday thing, all of these fanarts are quite shippy. 😛

* Untitled SOPE fanart by

mintdr_eam - According to both Yoongi and Hobi, they first met on December 24th, 2010 when Hobi showed up at the dorms. This is a v. sweet piece celebrating SOPE Day. :DDDD

* Somebody's looking by

moonylust - One of the reasons I love this is Jin's half-nude-but-not-really!pose. Which strikes me as quite in tune with IRL!Jin, heheh.

* HAPPY by

unz_1204 - Jin bringing the Christmas vibes alongside RJ and Wootteo. How lovely!

* Untitled Yoongi/Taehyung piece by

vdrwvv - NGL, one of the things I love the most abt the wave of Holiday fanart is how most artist have decided that it's "Loving Yoongi Hours". J'approve!

* Untitled Sugakookie fanart by

sugarsuuga - Yoongi and Jungkook in wintertime. What else would anyone ask for? LURVE Yoongi's blushy cheeks.

* ANOTHER Yoongi/Taehyung untitled piece by

vdrwvv - Yes, it's by the same artist and features Taegi in full X-mas mood. I really couldn't choose between the two pieces so I opted to rec both. WINK EMOJI. I like the quiet sassiness in this fanart.

* Nothing beats warm hugs in the cold by

agustbites - RM making sure that Yoongi gets some cozy snuggles is a win on my book. IJS.

* Ready for Christmas? It's decoration time! by

shogetsu9339 - A tremendously cute OT7 piece with kitty!Yoongi even!

* Looks like someone found exactly what he wanted under the mistletoe by

bangtanangst - What a chef's kiss of a moment between RM and Taehyung. I love everything abt this piece.

Still in the hectic season so another single rec from me, MDZS/The Untamed as always:

An Old Cardboard Produce Box for a Cradle by julomaiboulomai, mischiefseven (25k)
Summary: "Wei Ying sits back from his labour and looks at the product of his work with satisfaction. She could use a face and some clothing, but her proportions aren’t too bad. All in all she’s a convincingly sweet doll. Mostly, anyway. He smiles, a little wry, down at the little figure resting on his worktable; she’s as uncanny as anything else that came out of the soil of the Burial Mounds, really. That just means she’ll fit right in." Wei Ying makes a meimei for A-Yuan. Things progress differently from there. (WWX means to only make A-Yuan a a doll, a little meimei, but accidentally end up with a baby daughter. Delightful fix-it)
