Rec 1:Skip To The End Team: John<3Karkat Creator: Collab Round Entry Why I’m recommending it: These two are just precious. I adored their interactions and characterization. Putting it together in the MSPA format was really clever and fitting. The aberration was really heart-tugging too, and I liked how it wasn't just an event, it was a character development (at least, I hope I'm getting the aberration right XD). The art was also incredible and expressive--it really helped me empathize with the characters. Great job.
Rec 2:It Had To Be You Team: Eridan<3Sollux Creator: Collab Round Entry Why I’m recommending it: Okay, I really loved how heartwarming and simple and great this piece was. One of the commenters described it as 'refreshing' and I couldn't agree more. It was an immensely pleasant-to-read college/coffee shop AU. Sollux and Eridan are just adorable; they bicker, the compliment each other reluctantly (and unintentionally); they try to ignore their feelings--they're them. The art was stunning and I really liked Eridan and Sollux's human designs.
Rec 3:Call of Shakira: Gears of Jadekat Team: Jade<3Karkat Creator: Collab Round Entry Why I’m recommending it: I had so much fun playing this--more fun than I can properly quantify. The talksprites WERE SO DETAILED AND AMAZING, YOU GUYS, and I had so much fun initiating conversations by standing on everyone's heads. The conversations between Jade and Karkat were fun, and I was floored at the addition of Nepeta and Terezi. Man, those dreambubbles brought back some memories. And when I wasn't being pleasantly assaulted with nostalgia, I was staring in amazement at those backgrounds! Seriously, that art was fucking beautiful--I was drooling from my eyes. Also, it must be team JadeKat's mission to make me ship Grandpa<3Crabdad, because that's a thing that is happening.
