It's really too bad he didn't get an outfit like this in the show. :D

nirvana_in_fire community held a zero comment challenge last week, encouraging fans to find and comment on works with no comments yet. I'm a week late, but I went browsing and found some small gems to share:
Some fantastic 'metaphorical' art of Jingyan and a dragon: Imperial Law by Bacca.
A short little character piece on Mei Changsu's untruths: deceive, delude, mislead by Xuer.
A great Qin Banruo/Jun Niang ficlet set, dealing with trust, betrayal, and the legacy of Xuanji: heaven made me by Anahita.

Incredible fanart
Apr. 8th, 2020 12:19 amAttention, please?
I have to share this incredible Mei Changsu fanart by Danukim. The intensity! The suggestion of haunting and of threat!
I really love it when an artist somehow conveys multiple levels of a character, and Danuki has done that here: this is Mei Changsu, the outward calm and the past pain and the coming destruction.

Fell down the old!fandom rabbit hole
Feb. 1st, 2020 11:30 pmWell, I fell down the rabbit hole into another old fandom, so between yesterday and today I have read more than 100K of Forgotten Realms fanfiction.
Oops?
Have some recs. ( Below the cut! )
Most of these are Jarlaxle/Artemis Entreri - which feels weird, because I didn't have the slightest interest in Entreri back in the day! But Drizzt is so unrelentingly het in the series that it's hard to find fics about him that I enjoy, Zak's dead, I've forgotten most of the cast of War of the Spider Queen, and it turns out (I discovered gradually through my reading) that there's basically a whole series about Jarlaxle and Entreri now? And they tried very hard to make everything as un-gay as they could, but since I have not read the books I'm just going to substitute logic instead. Nothing will ever convince me that male drow aren't all bisexual; Menzoberranzan is absolutely a Situational Sexuality setup if ever there was one.

Drive-by art rec!
Jan. 19th, 2020 07:13 pmI just ran across Four seasons of promises by spaceArtie, a set of four seasonally-themed images for Nirvana in Fire's Jingyan and Lin Shu.
Beautiful and evocative, and the emotional progression hits as hard as the show's did.

*Amazing* beautiful fan animation!
Apr. 15th, 2019 09:56 pmGuys, I just found this incredible fan-drawn animation of Yuri and Victor pair-skating to On Love: Agape! It's in a lovely spare sketchy style that reminds me of both the anime's ending credits, and of a storyboard.
I'm blown away by the talent shown here, and also by the little flash of Yuri's grin toward the end. <3
I also giggled a bit over how sharply the height difference is. :D Victor, you're a beanpole!

Art rec: "Shattered Glass"
Feb. 15th, 2006 09:52 pmOh, my. Somebody hand me a fan and some ice cubes!
"Shattered Glass" (anonymous artist artist revealed! the lovely and talented ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lizardspots) is the hottest fanart I've seen in a year! I'll let the artist's own description sum everything up:
So it's the summer after Harry's 5th year, and Sirius has died. Harry and Remus are still at 12 Grimmauld Place. In the night, Harry's anger and unhappiness gets the better of him, and in a rage he smashes a picture of Sirius, as well as his own glasses. Remus hears the crash from his room next door and hurries into Harry's room, wand at the ready. Only to find Harry sobbing on the floor, surrounded by bits of broken glass and a mangled picture frame...
I'm continually finding new details to love, but in particular I keep coming back to Remus's hair, Harry's stomach, the fabric of Harry's pyjamas, and the textures of the room -- the grain of the floor and walls, the drape of the bedclothes. Amazing.emmagrant01 is one lucky fan!

Dec. 10th, 2005 10:48 pmI'm sick and working overtime, so naturally my Flist explodes with wonderful things! :D Like The Flight of the Prince, by mneomosyne. Beautiful atmosphere; a very eerie, almost surreal, depiction of one of my favourite HBP scenes.

Nov. 14th, 2005 09:51 pmOoooooh. Glock has done it again! Beautiful HBP art, with Snape and Harry and one of my all-time favourite scenes: "I am not a coward!" really captures the emotional resonance of the moment, with Snape's ferocious expression and battle-prepared stance. And such beautiful details: the clasps of Snape's robe, the surprise on Harry's face. Lovely!
Art Rec: "Locker Room"
Sep. 13th, 2005 09:05 pmHave you seen "Locker Room" yet?
I'm a bit late, I know, but I'm in love! Lanky, sullen, mostly-naked teenage Severus!lizardspots has done it again; I'm drooling. :D If there were a way to print this out, six feet tall, I'd do it in an instant. I'd even pay (cheap as I am) whatever was required to do it!
Why are you still listening to me rave? Go and look! (And don't forget to look for all those little details Lizard slips in!)

art rec: "Snape's Secret Obsession"
Apr. 18th, 2005 05:27 pmHahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I have no words for this wonderful SS/HP art, only peals of laughter. Go look for yourselves, and see Snape's Secret Obsession, by DosAn. Probably PG, unless you look very hard. :D
art rec: "Harry/Padfoot"
Apr. 7th, 2005 11:09 pmPlease don't let the title put you off! Despite the obvious implications, lunulet's picture is essentially child- and work-safe. Yes, it's Harry/Padfoot, but it's also entirely cute, and if you really really want to, you can pretend it's not slashy. (Go ahead, break my heart.)

Feb. 24th, 2005 08:41 pmDelightful gen art by fiendling: Snape's Initiation has truly incredible shadows and such a palpable aura of secrecy. I'm in love!

If you haven't seen yukipon's lovely sketch of Harry and Sirius... why haven't you? :D It's absolutely wonderful. The moment depicted is just perfect; so happy, familial, even downright cute.
You can find it here in her journal, although it is also available at her website.

...and more gen art: "Yet Another Snape"
Jan. 5th, 2005 11:10 pmAll right, folks, this is the genuine article. :D squirmy's "Yet Another Snape" is anything but just another Snape! He could be right out of an animated Potter film, with his bright yellow tones and marvelous sneer. I'm utterly in love with his expression.
And his nose. :D

Art rec: Remus & Harry
Jan. 5th, 2005 10:59 pmGen art! Remus + Harry is just a terrifically sweet hug, with young Harry and a determined Remus; glockgal has done a lovely job depicting emotion on both sides, particularly on Remus, whose very understated-ness makes him seem true to canon. (Plus, despite being pencil work, it looks like watercolours, and I'm a sucker for watercolours!)

Art rec: "At the Three Broomsticks"
Dec. 17th, 2004 01:59 pmIt seems to be a day for gen. :D
Ditraveler's "At the Three Broomsticks" is an illustration of the scene in PoA wherein Harry's connection to Sirius is revealed; everything is absolutely marvelous, right down to the incredible Christmas tree next to the table, and the look on poor Harry's face.
( the scene )

Art rec: "Guardian"
Nov. 30th, 2004 05:27 pmHere's one that got lost in the shuffle for a while! Guardian, by Julip (coldbeverage), is a terribly lovely picture that not only evokes a wealth of emotion but is also particularly well-done. I adore watercolours, and hers are superb--muted yet distinct, with a wealth of texture and detail.

Nov. 30th, 2004 05:17 pmAll right, now this is unusual! tapedeck has drawn not one, but two Snapes, in a fascinating style and entertaining position -- "And never the twain shall meet" has Book!Snape and Rickman!Snape in a face-off containing quite a lot of nose. :D
We can all guess by now which I prefer.

Art Rec: Naked Remus!
Nov. 30th, 2004 05:06 pmHurrah for ~metamorphism! Remus, naked save for a Christmas bow, kept me grinning all day long.
