Fandom old. Art and occasional fic recs, and even more occasional politics.
So I signed up to do a pinch hit for the danmei Gotcha for Gaza, and was asked for nsfw #MisVil art. Starting work on transferring the pencils to watercolor paper now.

Wow, I sure did collapse on the daily fic rec plan. In my defense, the Horrors. Maybe try to do two a day for a week or so to catch up. In the meanwhile! I have also finally defeated the anatomy on the sketch for the art I'm working on, so I can start posting progress pics again.

Fic Rec #9: "Songbird" is an _absolutely delightful_ short Tolkien fic, in which Maglor washed up in the Shire at some point, got adopted by the Tooks, and was still living there when what was left of Saruman and Wormtongue showed up. archiveofourown.org/works/37714891

Fic Rec #8 "And a Cup of Good Cheer!" is a fascinating DCU fic in which the Jokester from the alternate reality dominated by the Crime Syndicate of America finds himself in regular DCU canon universe, and both he and Batman are deeply uncomfortable about it. archiveofourown.org/works/3560261

Going further back in time for fic rec #7, Killing Elvis is an amazing Alien fic told entirely through the medium of interdepartmental memos at the Wetland-Yutani corporation. One of the most delightful pieces of short fiction I've ever read. archiveofourown.org/works/37677

Sixth fanfic rec of the year: Judge Softly is an absolutely amazing post-CQL MDZS fic, in which a curse causes Lan Qiren to spend several days mind linked to Wei Wuxian, and is thus given an opportunity to see what he gets up to when no one is around to witness. archiveofourown.org/works/39277557

Fifth fic rec of the year: How Many Coincidences in a Conspiracy? is a fairly long TGCF fic that I enjoyed quite a lot; a divergent AU in which Xie Lian drowned at sea at one point and washed up near He Xuan's island, and then they grew on each other. Like fungus. archiveofourown.org/works/64684192

So, I apparently forgot to post fic recs yesterday and the day before - an inauspicious beginning. But hey, they say the success of creating a habit is in being able to start again if you accidentally stop, right?

Third fic rec of 2026, "ONE HIT WONDERLAND: "Soda Pop" by Saja Boys", in which YouTube Music Reviewer Todd in the Shadows reviews the Saja Boys only released single ten years later. Extremely in character, a delightful short fic. archiveofourown.org/chapters/173...

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.
I love you all and am holding your hand as I say this:
Dems wield zero hard power levers
Dems wield zero hard power levers
it's kind of crazy that there's even any question that democrats are going to do anything about this

So in that spirit, first fic rec of 2026: Searching for Tomorrow, by KouriArashi is MDZS fic (CQL/drama-verse) where Wen Qing did not die, but instead spent several years engaged in a long term psychological battle with Jin Guangyao as his prisoner. archiveofourown.org/works/29386170

So last year, I failed my NY resolution to do a fanfic rec every day. This clearly means that I should try again. Maybe this year I"ll make it past February! But in this general hellscape of bad news, we could all use something unimportant but fun in our lives, yes?

Also, as I'm getting near done with Ling When, I suppose its a good time to seek opinions- should my next entry in the MXTX major Ariana project be Liu Qingge as Strength, or Jin Guangyao as the Moon?
