May fanworks round-up post!

This is the fanworks round-up post for May! Please link in the comments to any Guardian (or related fandoms) fanworks you created or enjoyed last month.
  • all kinds of fanworks are welcome – fic, art, vids, picspams, etc. - including those made for exchanges and events
  • new chapters of WIPs count
  • meta or discussion posts, too
  • whether or not you've already linked these in a post of their own, we still want them here!

If you're linking to fanworks you didn't create yourself, please clearly mark these "REC", so there's no confusion about authorship/creatorship.

(And please still do link your fanworks, meta, etc. separately, in their own post, at any time!)

So ... what Guardian and related fandoms works did you create or enjoy in May?

YAY! :D

SO MUCH LOVE for Spiders Shen Wei. ♡♡♡ (I just recced it too! :D)

I also have so much appreciation for The Truth RPF as a concept (let Bai Yu have all the nice things! :D), but when I tried to go there myself for a day or two I just ended up with angsty Zhubai that I would have absolutely no audience for. ;D *sticks to my on-brand happy Zhubai* :D

(ETA: I feel like this came out not exactly right, so ftr I didn't mean I needed to have ~an audience~ to post something - gods know I just post literally everything I actually finish, lol. Just meant that in this case I would kinda be upsetting both fanbases simultaneously, and also myself in the process. xD So I didn't finish, so I have nothing to post. :D)

Spiders!SW really is one of my favourite things ever. I'm always happy when he gets some love. <3

Honestly, I blame the Truth RPF mostly on Zhou Keyu and his massive crush on Bai Yu that he makes zero effort to hide. It's great. XD

Sometimes having an audience is nice though (a small audience is fine, but it's nice to know at least one person is enjoying what you're putting out there). It does make posting more fun, for me at least.

♡!

OH GODS IKR, I had a freakout on tumblr about his crush a few days back, it's a glorious thing of beauty. xD xD :D

And yeah, if I had absolutely zero people enjoying something I posted, I would wonder what I did wrong and probably delete, ngl. Having at least one person does change everything. :D It may not be the reason why I didn't finish this specific fic, but otherwise ITA. ♡
