recs and crafting
I was going to wait for a post until 
battleshipex and
multifandomdrabble revealed, but neither is for a bit yet and I've too many
recthething recs waiting to put here so.....
Some art recs from battleship (DCU, Untamed/MDZS, Genshin Impact, Guardian, Word of Honor, FMA:B and adorable triple crown exchange banner art):
Batboys on a beach - DCU - Dick & Damian adorable gen
Father, Son - Untamed/MDZS, Lan Wangji combing Lan Yuan's hair, so sweet
A Bitter Melody - Untamed/MDZS, Wei Wuxian playing Chenqing in the rain, the lighting on this is amazing
Ravish - Untamed/MDZS, nsfw Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji art, amazing
moment of weakness - Genshin Impact, I honestly don't know this fandom, but this is so sweet
Nothing but the Wild Rain - Word of Honor, Wen Kexing crying in the rain, beautifully detailed, I love it
But the Rain is Full of Ghosts Tonight - Word of Honor, beautiful Gu Xiang & Wen Kexing scene
Black cat brings happiness Guardian - utterly lovely and sweet Da Qing and Zhao Yunlan piece
Ed has a nice day Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, two pieces, one cute one with Ed and a cat and another another touching Ed & Riza one
Two adorable art pieces based off the triple crown exchange banner: Mad Pasta Science and Pasta Pony
Art from tumblr recs (Batwomen collection, Untamed comic, the Witcher comic, Guardian art):
collection of live action Batwomen portraits (Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, Anne Hathaway, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Halle Berry- all amazing)
"Comfort" (tender and sweet three panel The Witcher comic)
Nie Mingjue will regret this in the morning (utterly adorable multipanel The Untamed comic of teen Dage and little NHS who has a monster under his bed)
гори, чтобы светить "Burn, to give light" (Incredible Guardian fanart of Zhao Yunlan and the lantern)
The Untamed/MDZS fic recs:
How to Draw Clouds, a Guide by Little Apple's Emotional Support Human by sweetiejelly (7k)
Summary: Lan Zhan lowers the volume just as the YouTuber in question pops into frame, all grins and a matching red hair tie, and Lan Zhan has to hit pause. What is happening? Why is the owner of the prettiest smile he's ever seen also the owner of the most chaotic painting video? Or, an AU where Wei Ying is an artist YouTuber and Lan Zhan becomes his fan (and more). For life. (absolutely adorable and perfectly IC modern AU)
most times a wish by impossibletruths (16k)
Summary: Turns out the HR department may have had a point when they said don't bring your work home with you, and not just in the metaphorical sense. In his defense, it's not like he was trying to get anyone cursed. (modern cultivation/magic AU. Utterly delightful with amazing worldbuilding)
(open your hands) by DisasterBiAlert (Wangxian Summer Exchange 2021, 14k)
Summary snippet: An impossible love story told in dreams, music and physics. (amazingly woven together alternate multi-universe fic)
I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet by failedcharismacheck (7k)
Summary snippet: Wei Wuxian comes back from his walkabout. Lan Wangji gives Emperor's Smile another try and worries for his friend's dietary habits. (utterly delightful and adorable post-canon fic)
小兔子 | Little Bunny by dragongirlG (5.5k)
Summary: Three times Lan Qiren repaired a rabbit doll named Little Bunny: once for seven-year-old Lan Zhan on the anniversary of his mother's death, once for teenage Lan Wangji after he returns to the rebuilt grounds of the Cloud Recesses, and once for A-Yuan after he's taken into the Lan clan. (so sweet and tender)
long is the way by queen_gee (2k)
Summary: He cannot lie and he does not want to. He plays his own name like a whisper. Wei Ying.
Lan Wangji's breath hitches. His eyes are open but they are unreadable, a flash of gold in the pale moonlight. He hesitates for one moment like he does not know what to ask, perhaps as if he has too many questions. Wei Wuxian waits for the accusation, the resentment.
The guqin sounds more like a cry as Lan Wangji plays, Are you at peace. (Oh so painful but touching canon divergent AU)
Crafting-wise, I made my dad a penguin (took several patterns to find one that worked, but he liked the result, so YAY)
and I finished the rug from the dyed sheet. Have a pic of that rug plus one from an undyed version of that sheet to see the difference:
compare that to (the border was a blue edging the sheet had, without meaning to dying the sheet meant the main part was the same color as the edging) the pic doesn't pick up the pattern splotches all that well but you can kind of see them. (I'm also not thrilled with how this one turned out. Not sure why the shape is so odd. Oh well.)
Offset stack of the two rugs to compare
Not sure what craft project I'll be working on next. I've got a lot of Cdramas I want to watch so it'll have to be something easy.... hmmmm.... This entry was originally posted at https://donutsweeper.dreamwidth.org/603101.html. Please comment where you wish.
