Whatnot and Recs

[donutsweeper]

I haven't been up to anything interesting recently. I haven't watched anything in about a month and haven't read much other than some fanfic either. my poor to-read and to-watch piles have grown so very, very big. I expanded my Historical Chinese Clothing (and more) Resource Post though and now there's over 250 links (on the dreamwidth version, it's too big for LJ now). I also have some links I need to add to some of the other resource posts. Organization, what?

Anyway, here's two weeks of recthething recs (art {some nsfw} for Merlin, MCU, MDZS and ST:TNG and MDZS/Untamed fic):

tumblr art:
Merlin - the inherent romance of unfastening armor (I love the style of this one)
- s4e6 in my mind. rent free (this is the best hug in canon and great drawing of it)
- Merlin and Arthur - A tender and sweet hug
MCU- Nude studies on Bucky Barnes (and with one Steve) - not full frontal nudity but some are definitely NSFW - the first is here, follow the links for the others.
MDZS - a quick paint study cropped safe-for-tumblr (LWJ/WWX, amazing for a 'quick study')
ST:TNG- we were robbed of this (Guinan and Lwaxana and a moment we never had)

MDZS/Untamed fic:
Gentian Seeds by yuyu_finale. (10k)
Summary Snippet: Lan Wangji accidentally ends up in his mother’s hometown. (I love all of fandom's take on LWJ meeting his mother's kin and this is a lovely one)

The Echoes of that News Ring Loud by Scarlet_Gryphon (111k)
Summary Snippet: Or, the Nie brothers save the cultivation world [and themselves] through time travel, unlikely allies, and adopting far too many martial siblings. (NHS and Wen Ning tie travel fix-it)

River Eyes by AgentFreeWill (5k)
Summary: “Are you a dragon?” Wei Yuan asks, and then sits down. Oh no, he thinks, Baba will be really sad if I’m eaten by a dragon. This thought proves too much for the day of A Lot and tears start again… (utterly adorable and sweet modern {and more} AU)

I've started a new rug but for some reason the weave of the sheets is acting like t-shirts do rather than sheets and curling into something like tshirt yarn instead of staying flat. It works in a rug just fine but takes a different amount of space than I'd planned so the result will be different. Oh well. It'll still be a rug and that's what matters.

I wonder if those sheets are jersey knit instead of woven

[donutsweeper]

I'm assuming something like that? They weren't not labelled anything unusual and had basically the same feel as sheets as any well worn sheets do but you might be onto something. They're still work, but just differently.
