3. Each recommendation must include at least three full sentences about why it’s awesome. Please use the format specified below.


4. You may recommend as many sets as you like, so long as each set has at least three recs in it.

Title & Rec Format
If you are doing a fill, use this format in your title.

Comments

FILL: TEAM BRO<3GRANDPA

[macca44552]

Rec 1: Bingo Royale
Team: Jake<3John
Creator: Main Round 1 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: Old men are the greatest. And here we have Jake and John portrayed as retired men living in a facility. And it is hilarious and poignant and basically everything you'd want it to be. The dialogue is really fresh and believable and by the end of it I really just wanted to adopt both of them. The art was also stunning and the music links were a treat.

Rec 2: ==>Dolorosa: Be Free
Team: Dolorosa<3Mindfang
Creator: Main Round 1 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: There is just so much depth to this fic--I can't even. Despite not really having much in the way of canon characterizations, the Dolorosa and Mindfang are both very enjoyable, plausabile, and oddly relatable. The Dolorosa's mindset is especially intriguing to read. The dialogue was fantastic, but the thing that sold me on this fic was the attention to detail and the world building--especially the stuff involving the signless' plights alfkja;lsfd. This is all wrapped together with some beautiful art.

Rec 3: Jackpot
Team: Gamzee<3Tavros
Creator: Main Round 1 Entry
Why I’m recommending it: The art man, the art. It's adorable, distinctive, and I absolutely love the character design. The expressions and body language are also really effective, especially poor nervous, anxious Tavros. The dialogue is also really cute and, gah, the situation is hilarious, okay? Two trolls with no clue how to gamble? It's just as amazing as it sounds.
