It's that time of year again but with recs

[donutsweeper]

It's the annual (or semi-annual since I do occasionally sign up for non-yuletide exchanges now) "waiting for assignment and panicking over what you might get" time! What errrrm fun. We'll call it fun.

Anyway, for c_ent I put together a list of the Chinese short films and ads I watched for Yuletide, here it is with brief descriptions if anyone's interested (all but one definitely have requests):

无量 | Wúliàng (Short Film) (m&m can be seen as m/m, wuxia/xianxia, just over 30 minutes, fyi the signup summary does not show this has been requested but someone might have in the last 20 min) (A second, somewhat better fan translation)
畫皮: 郭敬明版 | Painted Skin: The Guo Jingming Edition (2020) (m/m/f sort of, fox demon and wuxia film, just under 30 min)
花的游吟 | Le Vrai Où (Short Film) (older woman singer/young man bartender played by WYB, modern day, 10ish min)
红魔女与苏女侠 | Red Devil and Heroine Su (Short Film) (f/f wuxia enemies to lovers story, 5ish min)
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 (f/f lovers through time)- 30 second version (warning, it's very loud) and slightly longer one
Cadillac Qixi Advertisement (m/f bakery AU reincarnation)
L'Oréal "Time Engraver" Commercials: first and second
Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials playlist

Here's this week's recthething recs (vids for due South, Legends of Tomorrow, Nirvana in Fire, Starsky & Hutch, Ultimate Note (and other DMBJ things) and Untamed, all AO3 links unless noted, some painful, some very fun):

due South:
[Fanvid] Thank You (Kindly) for Being a Friend by lomelinde
Summary: Fanvid celebrating Fraser and Ray Vecchio's friendship (perfect for the song, loved it)

Legends of Tomorrow:
[VID] Time Warp by Jayne L (JayneL)
Summary: Team Literal Dumpster Fire: they screw things up for the better! (so fun!!)

Nirvana in Fire:
[vid] Thousand Eyes by thuvia ptarth (thuviaptarth)
Summary: Undo this storm. (MCS and the weight of 70000 souls seeking retribution, so powerful)
Gotta Die Sometime [Fanvid] by Rhea
Summary: Mei Changsu and death. (an upbeat melody for a heavy theme and so well done)

Starsky & Hutch
Walking on Sunshine [fanvid] hardboiledbaby
Summary: I'm walking on sunshine, and don't it feel good! (a perfect look at S&H)

Ultimate Note, Lost Tomb, Lost Tomb Reboot etc
[vid] 9 to 5 by teyla
Summary: What a way to make a living. (a hilarious look at all the things Wang Meng has to put up with, the poor dear - WM from Ultimate Note and Tomb of the Sea)
[vid] Bang! by teyla
Summary: All the best faces of Wu Xie. (Wu Xie, and many of the other characters, throughout all the DMBJ incarnations, such fun!)

The Untamed:
If we go down then we go down together Wen Qing & Wen Ning, together (tumblr vid, tugs at the heartstrings)
[VID] Red Ribbon by helcinda
Summary: I've got so much to give so I'll give it again and again and again (WWX and everything he gave and gave and gave. And what he, sometimes, got in return.)

I'd had plans for writing treats for trickortreatex but so far all I've got is some disjointed notes and a blank worddoc. Writing brains, so finicky. Maybe there'll be a post-deadline PH that inspires me. Who knows.
