It's Christmas Eve motherfuckers! (already technically Christmas by the time I post this rip) Didn't think I'd be doing this the same day I'm supposed to be finishing an application, but I got bit with the fanart bug as I was setting up some rss feeds (got the idea of making some for artists I've followed on other platforms). Before dreamwidth I basically used tumblr as a fanart archive to avoid downloading too many photos on my phone, so why not do the same here? As much as I've been avoiding mainstream fandom stuff and social media in general, I do have a very soft spot for fanart.

So yeah, expect more of these. I'll be aiming for weekly recs at a minimum, but let's be honest it'll probably be daily. As much as I've been writing about fandom, my feral fanby side wants OUT.

[community profile] hlh_shortcuts, the annual Highlander fanfic exchange, has been releasing two stories a day since the winter solstice. With 8 stories revealed as I post this, 9 remain. So far, the shortest is >800 words and the longest <7K words. From the tags, 3 crossovers are upcoming. A trend this year may be appearances by Connor and his associates.

(Releases will pause on December 25 to give readers a chance to catch up. Or to sample Yuletide, perhaps.)

Check out the AO3 collection.

The "Shakespeare Network" YouTube Channel has posted a "restored" 4K version of Patrick Stewart's 1999 TNT production of Dickens's A Christmas Carol, free to watch (#EducationalVideo #Exclusive #OpenLearning). They've been partnering with Stewart since the pandemic, when he shared a video a day of himself reading a Shakespeare sonnet. This isn't Stewart's famous one-man-show version of A Christmas Carol, based on Dickens's own script, but it's an excellent and faithful adaptation of the novel, which he produced as well as starred in, with supporting cast including Richard E. Grant and Joel Grey.

Hello! Thank you so much in advance! I am very excited to see what you come up with! Everything here, aside from the DNW’s is just a suggestion so feel free to go where your mind takes you! No smut or explicit sexual content, please!


general likes:

- character/relationship studies

- comfort, whump, & angst w/ a happy ending

- caretaking (comforting, non-sexual bathing/hair washing, affection, snuggling, etc)

- personal insecurity/self-esteem issues (especially w/ reassurance)

- trans/nonbinary/aromantic/queer themes

- gen fics (non-romantic relationship centric)

- queerplatonic relationships

- non-sexual body worship

- disability headcannons

- pining that is eventually requited 

- general gender/social norm defiance


au likes: 

- soulmate (any kind!)

- hanahaki (without mcd or memory wiping)

- alternate first meetings

- alternate career

- single parent au’s (can be their own kid or a kid they adopted/took in)


essentially, i am really big on emotion-centric writing! action is fun, but i love hearing a character's thoughts and feelings even more. i don’t care if there are romantic relationships or not, and i am a sucker for any trope that can be used to hurt a character — as long as they get a bit of comfort in the end :) i also enjoy characters having secrets that end up getting revealed or shared with others! i’m opt-in for any fic formats aside from self inserts or 1st person!


trope dnw’s:

- heavy angst without resolution (e.g. hurt/no comfort)

- “didn’t know they were dating” trope

- fake dating trope (exception: if it is actual fake dating and the characters don’t end up in a relationship)

- reader-insert &/ first person pov fics

- crossovers (au’s are great, just not combining characters from different medias)


content dnw’s:

- explicit sexual content

- noncon/dubcon between main characters

- main character pregnancy

- permanent mcd (temporary death, as in the case of revival or reincarnation, is fine)

- cheating

- stalking

- age play/abdl (age regression is fine)

- vore

- bestiality

- incest


Haikyuu:


pairings: Kunimi Akira & Matsukawa Issei, Kunimi Akira & Kyoutani Kentarou, Kyoutani Kentarou & Oikawa Tooru, Kozume Kenma & Kunimi Akira, Akaashi Keiji & Kageyama Tobio, Sugawara Koushi & Yaku Morisuke, Nishinoya Yuu & Oikawa Tooru, Fukunaga Shouhei & Kozume Kenma


fandom-specific likes, prompts, & hc’s:

- any sort of libero rep 

- character studies on the mundane/post-timeskip careers 

- autistic &/ocd akaashi, autistic kageyama, adhd hinata, autistic atsumu, adhd sakusa

- nonbinary kageyama, nonbinary or transfem akaashi, transmasc bokuto, transfem yamaguchi, transmasc atsumu, nonbinary or transfem kunimi, genderfluid hinata

- aromantic tsukishima, aromantic qpp’s kagehina, sapphic yachi, bisexual bokuto

- neurodivergent ushiten as a whole


I love the under & upperclassman dynamics! Kunimi & Matsukawa is a personal favorite, their shared of understanding between each other because even though they’re opposite ends of extroverted and introverted they both share a similar temperament. I also love it when the rest of the team doesn’t realize they’re friends, and are surprised when they find out. I also enjoy reading Kyoutani & Oikawa’s dynamic, how they both clash but maybe Oikawa finds an understanding in Kyoutani. Cue all the hurt comfort for them. I love the idea of Akaashi & Kageyama staying in contact, maybe Kageyama really idolizes him as a setter and asks him for advice!


I love Haikyuu because of how fun playing around with the dynamics are! Kunimi & Kyoutani, Kenma & Kunimi, Sugawara & Yaku, Nishinoya & Oikawa, and Fukunaga & Kenma are all such fun dynamics I would love to see explored! 


Feel free to mix and match any of these pairings and add background characters too!



do not wants:


fandom specific dnw’s:

- atsuhina

- akaosa without any other characters (e.g. no akaosa alone, but bokuakaosa or kuroakaosa is delightful)

- miyacest

- infintalization of characters (e.g. sugamama, dadchi, “smol bean” hinata)


Moriarty The Patriot:


pairings: William James Moriarty & Lord Of Crime, James Bond | Irene Adler & William James Moriarty, James Bond | Irene Adler & Sebastian Moran, James Bond | Irene Adler & Albert James Moriarty


fandom-specific likes, prompts, & hc’s:
- transmasc william, transmasc bond
- i’m such a sucker for bond & moran, i love the cis cluelessness of moran and bonds transness and i think we need more of it, especially with the rest of the group backing bond up like in the bathroom scene 
- anything centric of bonds transness tbh! i would love to see him start taking testosterone, the way he gets it in such a Time Period can be as nonsensical as you’d like
- william hurt/comfort is so… sobs, i need more of it
- anything focusing on the LOC group and people’s dynamics in it! sherlock can be there too, but I just love their dynamic :’)
- Also… mtp is perfect for a vampire au… just saying 


(Also, if you want to be naughty and give me hints of pre-relationship Bond/Moran I would not be complaining… or them as fwb!)


fandom specific dnw’s:

- cis bond

- sole focus on sherliam w/o mentions of any other characters


Bungou Stray Dogs:


pairings: Edogawa Ranpo & Kunikida Doppo & Yosano Akiko, Nakahara Chuuya & Edgar Allan Poe


fandom-specific likes, prompts, & hc’s:

- transmasc atsushi, transfem kunikida (my holy grail), genderqueer gin

- autistic ranpo 

- hurt/unconventional comfort 

- incorporating atushi’s tiger traits into his general life (i.e. liking to nap in sun, sharper teeth, better hearing, etc)

- putting any character in the armed detective agency

- chuuya interacting with the armed detective agency

- aromantic allosexual ranpo


Ahhh I love the agency and I love Poe! I’ve recently fallen down the pipeline of Poe & Chuuya dynamics and I think it’s so silly and cute! I also love Ranpo, Kunikida, & Yosano and think there are some cool situations that could arise from the three of them!


I am opt in for any fwb scenarios you can think of in these pairings! Especially if it incorporates aroallo characters or themes!


All For The Game:


pairings: Matt Boyd & Allison Reynolds & Renee Walker & Danielle "Dan" Wilds, Renee Walker & Danielle "Dan" Wilds


fandom-specific likes, prompts, & hc’s:

- transmasc neil, non-binary/gender apathetic andrew, transfem rennee

- bisexual dan, bisexual matt, sapphic rennee, lesbian allison, demiromantic gay andrew, demisexual & demiromantic bi neil

- mentioning dan’s time with the girls; maybe going into it a bit more and her feelings about it?


Helllooo I just really love the upperclassman and their dynamics! I would love to see anything centering Matt, Allison, Renee, and Dan or anything with just Dan and Renee! I also wouldn’t mind a bit of background DanMatt! 


fandom specific dnw’s:

- making andrew asexual due to his trauma (him being asexual on a separate front is fine! Just don’t correlate the two)

- focuses on seth


Project Sekai:


pairings: Akiyama Mizuki & Shinonome Ena & Shiraishi An, Akiyama Mizuki & Kamishiro Rui & Shiraishi An, Hoshino Ichika & Kamishiro Rui & Tenma Saki & Tenma Tsukasa, Hoshino Ichika & Yoisaki Kanade, Shinonome Ena & Shiraishi An


fandom-specific likes, prompts, & hc’s:

- polyneed

- leo/need mentions of any kind

- mentions/focus on the relationship between an, mizuki, and rui (can be platonic or romantic)

- character studies into how they perceive their role in their unit

- relationship studies between the dynamics of unit members

- anything that focuses on them being teenagers and still learning about themselves and each other; questioning identities, etc


Oh I just love Mizuki and her dynamics with any characters! I think groups with mizuki, ena, and airi/an are so fun and could have great dynamics centering creativity and girl-gossip esque stuff! I am also the BIGGEST lover of Mizuki, Rui, An’s friendship and I would love love love anything with them!!!!!!!! 


For Ichika & Rui & Saki & Tsukasa, I’d love to see anything with them! My friend and I brainrotted about a time where The Tenma siblings do Ichika & Rui’s hair and I think that would be sooo cute! It could be art or a fic, I just love imagining them sitting on a couch with the other two on the floor in front of them and them taking care of them… sobs. 


Ichika & Yoisaki have such a cool bond over Miku and seeing that explored more would make me so happy! Sobs, I love them. 


fandom specific dnw’s:

- erasure of mizuki’s transness &/ writing her as a boy 

- anything higher than T level content when it comes to romantic/sexual interactions (they can give each other pecks, but no full makeout sessions, etc)

- no unit character bashing 

- akito/kohane (platonic is great!)



Belle:


pairings: Naitou Suzu & Ryuu | Kei, Naitou Suzu & Tomo,  Ryuu | Kei & Tomo 


Belle is one of my biggest comfort movies and I would enjoy anything focusing platonically on these characters! Post-movie or in canonverse would be preferred but I also wouldn’t mind an AU if you think of something you’d like to write!
