Recs

Hey, shippers! This is the last bonus round, which we’re all very sad about. So let’s talk about some of the awesome stuff created throughout the HSO!

Rules

1. Rec at least three fanworks from the main or bonus rounds! They do not have to be connected to each other in any way.


2. You may not recommend material created by members of your own team.


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.
FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

The content of the post should be in this format (extend as necessary):

FILL: TEAM DIRK<3JAKE<3JANE<3ROXY

[nextian]

Bonus Round 5 Recs (pt 1)

Rec 1: White Queen + Dirk gen, Prospit
Team: Dave<3Jade
Creator: asherdashery
Why I’m recommending it: You do things like the Olympics to discover amazing new creators you otherwise wouldn't encounter and dashery has been majorly one of them for me. This is fabulous, sweet and sad and cool, with a seven year old Dirk who feels both seven and still convincingly Dirk. The hints of Dirk's future relationship with the other kids are lovely, and I just adore how well this fic explores the reasons Dirk might feel so totally Your Shit Is Wrecked about Derse.

Rec 2: Stonehenge (Aradia<3Sollux)
Team: Bro<3Grandpa
Creator: gjarble
Why I’m recommending it: Because this is hilarious. Great sprite edit, great concept, very funny. I am using my third sentence for a flashing colors/gif warning and a warning that you may say "awww" out loud if you look at it in public like I did.

Rec 3: Tavros & Aradia, sky
Team: Equius<3Gamzee
Creator: brightgray
Why I’m recommending it: Great use of, uh, sky. I like these humanstuck designs a lot--Aradia's hair especially. Tavros looks so stoked to be flying and Aradia looks so stoked to be making him happy, it's very paleromantic!

Recs 4 & 5: Vriska/Terezi Sengoku Era, two entries (scroll)
Teams: Gamzee<>Karkat and Jade<3Karkat
Creators: rex and oxfordroulette
Why I'm recommending them: I couldn't pick!! These were both two great. The first one has all of the brashness and douchebaggery I love about the Scourge Sisters. The black-on-brown works very well, and so does the wheat field. I don't know what that is that Terezi's wielding (is that a bisento?) but it's totally bitchin'. As for the second, I MEAN, LOOK AT IT. Vriska's TOPKNOT. The sassy HORSE. The strong INKING TECHNIQUE. Way to go.

Cheers for the rec! It was supposed to be a naginata, but I'm no good at drawing weapons, so it kind of looks like a naginata and a nagamaki got drunk and had a weirdo baby, haha.

Re: FILL: TEAM DIRK<3JAKE<3JANE<3ROXY

[nextian]

But I love their weirdo baby!! You just know that, like, Vriska designed it herself to the specs she reconstructed out of her Heian ancestor's Pillow And Swordfighting Book, and Terezi picked it up all "...TH4NKS" but hasn't put it down since.

Aaaaaafksdfl I don't even know what to say, geez, that's like the most flattering thing to hear out of this. Thank you, and I'm glad you liked the fill!
