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 podfics/fics/fanvids/fanarts have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

ALSO, since this is the last post for 2021, I'd like to thank everyone who participates in these posts whether making recs or commenting. We're all in different fandoms and have all kinds of individual likes. So it's tremendously heart-warming to see y'all interact here.

(And, hey, if you--yes, you--happen to be someone who quietly enjoys the recs, the ONLY thing I'd ask is for you to leave some comments or kudos to the fic authors, podficers, vidders, etc of the fanworks you've enjoyed.)

ANYWAYS, let me stop before I get too sappy. Wishing everyone in the comm a v. happy 2022. May it bring y'all good things. <3

I've been trying to make my way though the various exchanges that recently revealed.

here's some amazing art from multifandomdoodle:

Original Work - Small collection of birds - Summary: Some quick doodles of tits (the birds) you can spot in Catalonia (six truly excellent tits)
- Where the Glitch Begins (absolutely incredible cyberspace mage)
- [ART] Pieces of Eight - Summary: Legend says if you beat her in an arm wrestle, she'll give you some treasure from her chest. (incredible pirate creature)
The Untamed - Lotus Pier (lovely landscape)
Word of Honor - You Good? (hilarious Ye Baiyi drawing)
- Red (gorgeously drawn Luo Fumeng, the clothing in particular is amazing)
Crossover: Tron and Tetris - TeTron - Summary: The Tetris blocks escape their game.

and some things from yuletide that either don't really have fandoms, can be read canon blind, or are 5 minute fandom type things:

Duolingo Welsh Course - Mae Owen yn hoffi pannas pinc (Owen likes pink parsnips) (1.6k) Summary Snippet: If Owen’s nightclub is selling parsnips, how’s business going? Did they expand the business to Antarctica and that’s why Owen is there eating parsnips? Do they others have to confront the dragon that ate Owen? (no Welsh knowledge needed, just a hilarious story with a bit from wtfduolingo thrown in)
花的游吟 | Le Vrai Où (Short Film) - A Different Version of an Old Song (2k) Summary: “What about you?” the bartender asks. “Have you decided?” (while the fandom is only a 10 min short film this can be read fandom blind, as it's a fascinating AU take of an immortal singer meeting a bartender over and over)
Cyberpunk adaptation of Laughing in the Wind (Cfensi April Fool Post) - what you've taken (5k) Summary: When Zhongze Ning's wife goes too far in a bid for power, Ning makes a dangerous gamble in an attempt to protect what remains of her family. (Based off a post this cyberpunk wuxia f/f fic is a fascinating read)
花西子《【白月光与朱砂痣】穿越千年才找回跟你在一起的回忆》广告片 | Florasis "Sapphic Lipstick" Commercial - Memories Of You (3k) Summary: When Qi Xiaxia touched the stranger's hand, the memories came flooding back. (a sweet reincarnation f/f fic based off a 30 second lipstick ad)
镇魂 | Guardian - priest - water, sparks in the eyes and gone (4.7k) Summary: [Shen Wei requests approval for activation of unit: king_6h05t] I need you to approve this so I can help you. [Zhao Yunlan has approved Shen Wei’s request.] Thank you. Hold on, I’ll be there soon. (Amazing scifi AU with several clever nods to canon but still enjoyable without having read the book)
Knitting (Anthropomorphic) - Curses, foiled again (3k) Summary: The residents of Yarn Stash Cabinet are concerned about their crafter’s holiday knitting plans. (utterly adorable)
crossover: 17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future - Jon Bois and Expert and Judgment on Markers to Deter Inadvertent Human Intrusion... - Sandia Labs - Long-Term Projects (2k) Summary: Even after radiation stops being able to kill, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant doesn't offer a lot of entertainment. What keeps drawing people back? A sense of duty to a lost future? Reenacting old mistakes? Boredom? It's probably mostly boredom. (only a vague amount canon knowledge needed for this one, but it's a fascinating look at humanity and how things just don't change, until they do)
