[ART] [MCU: Thor] Untitled by wamaii (Thor, Loki)

I really like the choice to draw this piece so the viewer is looking down on the two characters from an angle. Each character is wearing a great, contemporary twist on their superhero costuming (although the contrast in their clothing really makes me want to know who is dressed correctly for the weather). And I like the intimacy of the piece - brothers taking a quick, relaxed moment together in their own little patch of shade under a tree.

[ART] [Warcross] Emika from the book Warcross by Marie Lu by pickydraws (Emika Chen)

Great take on Emika Chen from Warcross by Marie Lu (a fun, action-packed YA novel I recommend). It's fantastic to see Emika's colourful hair brought to life.

[ART] [Jurassic World] Untitled by OomlesArt (Blue)

So, the new Jurassic World movie was not good, but if it inspires more dinosaur media I am excited! Here is a cute picture of Blue the raptor in full film fiend mode. I think her sunglasses are my favourite part.

[ART & FIC] [The Incredibles] Frozone family by chill13 (Lucius Best, Honey Best)

A really cute image, accompanied by a drabble idea, that imagine the courtship and married life of Lucius and Honey Best. The artist also created three original children (all with super powers) and they're all so cute and distinct. Teen Vogue actually ran a short article about the creator, this piece, and the desire for a real life spin-off.

[COSPLAY] [Wonder Woman (2017)] Wonder Woman cosplay by YesThisIsAlexis (Wonder Woman)

Another really cool Wonder Woman cosplayer!

Susan

[ART] [Critical Role Series 2] TITLE by Data_Bunny (Mollymauk)

I only barely go here (like, I am halfway through episode two levels of barely), but I really like this picture of Molly. There's something about the nose that's pinging me as off in a way that I can't put my finger on, but I love the expression and the details (His horn decorations! His eyes!) and use of colour. It's really lovely.

[VID] [Marvel Cinematic Universe] gotta fire up by voordeel (1:13) (Ensemble) (Spoilers for the MCU up to Infinity War)

I love this one, from the edit of the mash-up (I unironically enjoy Imagine Dragons, not even gonna lie to ya) to the transitions between clips. It works so well and makes me super happy!

[ART] [Violet Evergarden] Violet by raikoart (Violet)

I've never watched this anime (I actually thought this was a Fate fanart when I first clicked on it), but I really love this art style, the mood of the piece, and the details of her outfit and the lighting are great.

What fanwork have you loved recently?

Jodie: That text on the Frozone pic is rather longer than a drabble, unless you were referring to only a specific section of it or you meant something that I can't parse out of your sentence. "Drabble" has an established meaning in the fanfic community; it doesn't just mean any very short piece, it means something that is precisely 100 words long. (Hence you have AO3 tags like "drabble and a half", "double drabble", etc.) If I misread what you were trying to say, my apologies and nevermind. :-)
