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.
