Recs and whatnot

Someone bought me an entire year of a paid account for Dreamwidth, thank you so much!! It was so very sweet and kind of you and has really made my week :)

EAD Birthday Bash is currently running so I am crocheting much more than advisable or I probably should, but it's a fun excuse to crochet a lot of silly things and only happens once a year. I'll post pictures once creator reveals happen (not than anyone will not know the crocheted things are from me, there's no surprise about that by now considering how many I've done for previous years, although, who knows, maybe someone else will crochet something this year.)

I've fallen away from the Write Everyday thing (I was hoping the "just open a worddoc and do something, anything" might work better for me than the X words a day/week/month/whatever kind of goals but it didn't. Oh well.) I poked about at a WIP for a bit, maybe it'll turn into something eventually, maybe it won't.

I've also wandered away from the Snowflake challenge. There were a bunch in a row that just were Not For Me. Maybe later ones will work better. We'll see.

Something I have managed to do over the last week or so is add about three dozen new links to my resource posts. I still have more to add and am still debating reorganizing the random post and possibly the history/hollywood/clothing one but that's for later. For now, links! (As always, please suggest links if you come across anything interesting/useful, the more the merrier!)

Have two weeks of recthething recs, a TON of art recs and two MDZS/Untamed fic recs:

Art from tumblr:
DCU: bruce is a tired dad (Bruce and Diana Pierce, utterly hilarious)

Doctor Who: happy birthday to my best friend the new years baby <3 (gorgeous Eight fanart)

MCU:
- Obligatory winter stucky (very sweet and tender)
- Buckytober Day 31- Steve (sweet and gorgeous Bucky and Steve modern day/as kids combo)

Merlin
- ‎and you touched me vulnerable (Merlin and Arthur in the bath, wow)
- Cast me away! (the emotions in this, poor Merlin)
- ((Sounds of 'All Star' from Smash Mouth)) (excellent art based on the knowledge the creators used Smallville and Shrek as inspiration for writing Merlin)
- once & future (absolutely gorgeous Merlin/Arthur kiss
- hey guys happy deathiversary (oh my heart, *sobs*)

MDZS/The Untamed
- MDZS mapped to Gustav Klimt’s piece 'Medecine' (seriously amazing)
- Another quick and messy drawing, because I needed the break between other things (far from quick or messy, great art of wwx/lwj kissing)
- Set of four Untamed sketches (lovely art of JGY, WWX, LWJ, etc)
- I Want my Wei Ying Back, with apologies to Jon Klassen (absolutely hilarious NSFW comic)

Nirvana in Fire - Set of four Nirvana in Fire illustrations (really wonderful art of Mei Changsu, Mu Nihuang, Xiao Jingyan, etc)

Sherlock Holmes - Sherlock Crowmes (Sherlock Holmes as a crow, adorable)

ST:TOS - Starfleet standard issue ponchos (cute Kirk and Spock sketch followed by a hilarious comic)

art from nitter (since twitter currently doesn't seem to want to show anything if you haven't logged in)
Under the Skin - Captain Du Cheng and his little trump card. (gorgeous and atmospheric Du Chen and Shen Yi)

and AO3 fic recs:
Meet you at a different place by tawaen (58k)
Summary Snippet: Two years after her death, the ghost of Wen Qing flees Golden Carp Tower with her brother. They accidentally kidnap Mo Xuanyu on the way out. Then, they set about collecting the scraps of Wei Wuxian's shattered soul. (Interesting recently completed canon divergent Wen Qing POV fic where she, Wen Ning, MXY and Sisi try to help WWX, note- not Jiang Cheng friendly.)

River Stones by littlesystems (18k)
Summary: “Do you think we’re somehow in a different time?” Wei Wuxian says, feeling absurd for even voicing the words aloud even though it’s the only thing that makes sense. Time travel is one of those things you hear about in stories, in folk tales. No cultivators have ever actually managed time travel. It’s not real. (New, and interestingly different, open ended time travel AU)
