Peachie5000′s Favourite Submissions for LegionFxWeek!

Day 1: Favourite Character

Versaphile

The title “Defying Gravity” makes it seem as though this submission would be a lighthearted fun romance fic to start off the week. What it actually was was something unexpected, but even better. Defying Gravity has cutesy dialogue sprinkled into several parts that keeps the relationship between Lenny and Fem!David believable, but it truly shines when it delves deep into the workings of Clockworks’ abusive workings. The emotions are conveyed strong and heavy, and rarely does this fic pull punches. Both focuses of romance and desperation blend together to create a really investing fic, even if you’d usually be more into one part of it than the other.

Day 2: Shock!

Mutants-against-humans

Behind blue eyes is so iconic for its use of 2D animation to portray the battle of David and Farouk on the astral plane and I love that this picture still keeps the style of that fight similar to the original! The shot itself is very memorable; so the more simplistic areas used in this picture make it feel as though the entire thing was originally animated, not just the figures. Overall this picture is a great callback, and fits the prompt very well.

Day 3: Favourite Song Used

Trifargo

There’s just something about the aesthetic of this gif that I love so much? It gives off a very worn, deserted feeling that fits right in with the original song. The colour palette is beautiful, the composition is interesting, and all of the graphics paint a very clear picture of David. It excels at showing how well David’s character fits into “Burning Down the House”.

Day 4: Delusion/Mental Health

Hexiva

“I Watch, You Watch“ is an amazing fic that understands Syd’s and Farouk’s problems and perspectives arguably better than the show does itself. It shows the reader a dynamic that wasn’t touched nearly enough upon in the main canon and it does so with delicate writing and emotional recounts of backstory.

Hexiva’s Day 6 submission, which is part 2 of this great fic, is equally as great as the first. While I enjoyed the second part a bit more, this first part is the backbone of their dynamic, which is why I chose this one rather than the latter.

Day 5: David/Divad/Dvd Dichotomy

Damstevens

There are multiple elements to why I love this gifset so much. I love the clips Damstevens used to showcase the differences between David, Divad, and Dvd, how David’s is fully in colour as the host. I love the font that was chosen, as well as how the gifset is laid out; it is aesthetically appealing to look at. What really put this gifset into this spot however, is the way in which Damsteven’s uses colour to highlight the God complex they each experience, relate them to eachother, and still make the gifset feel unique from gif to gif.

Day 6: Identity/Relationship Between Body/Mind

Hamsalo

Syd is a very interesting, complicated character, who happens to have a very interesting, complicated relationship with her physical body. I adore how this picture shows just how different her body and her mind is, with her mind being highlighted in a cool calm green, while her body is in a heavier red, almost walled off from the viewer. The shading, style, anatomy, and colours are well thought out and executed in general as well, which is an added bonus!

Day 7: Time Travel

Lilmissrandom

I gotta agree with Rachelkellcr on this one, I love this submission. The giddiness shown in the animation with how the time eater jumps around is simultaneously adorable and maniacal at the same time. The idea is super unique too; overall it just puts a huge smile on my face when I see it. You wouldn’t usually think a cutesy style would work so well with a creepy monster, but it does here.

Rachelkellcr’s Favourite Submissions for LegionFxWeek!

DAY 1: FAVORITE CHARACTER

MOSSOMNESS:

This set is amazing and you picked so many great David moments throughout the seasons that this was instantly my favorite and reminded me how much I love him and will always love him as a character!

DAY 2: SHOCK!

HAMSOLO:

I absolutely loved this art piece and how you used the elements of the seasons with David and his time traveling in the current to convey the shock of the show being a time loop all along, so beautiful!

DAY 3: FAVORITE SONG USED

KIYOMIZU37:

I loved this art piece so much with the silhouettes from the moment in the show and the way you used the wording flows perfectly to display the meaning of the song, incredible job!

DAY 4: DELUSION/MENTAL HEALTH

DAMSTEVENS:

I loved this beautiful set so much since it portrayed the mental health mentions in the show with perfectly fitting quotes and I loved how the description explains the disorder in depth, bringing necessary awareness!

DAY 5: DAVID/DIVAD/DVD DICHOTOMY

HEXIVA:

I absolutely loved this art piece because I thought it was such an original idea with how you portrayed the piece in the eyes of those in Davids life with each  DVD/DIVAD personality, really original and a beautiful concept!

DAY 6: IDENTITY/RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BODY/MIND

TRIFARGO:

This is amazing, each gif is wonderfully chosen to match the description of the character, and I loved how you included all the mains! I loved being reminded of each one within the beautiful gifs!

DAY 7: TIME TRAVEL

LILMISSRANDOM:

I love how you cartoon-ized the time demon, and made it almost looks adorable! As we saw in the show ending, they can be trained, but I love how you captured their erratic-ness too with the perfect animation, such a good balance and so cool!

WRITING: DAMSTEVENS, HEXIVA & VERSAPHILE

I was thrilled to see so many writing pieces submitted for the week as well! All of you captured the characters so well with each one that I absolutely couldn’t choose, you all did a wonderful job and I totally would vote for you guys to just do a fourth season already!

Some Words.

1 hour before the finale. It’s fitting that it’s the last day of legionfxweek on the night of the final episode that caused this event. Even when we had problems with this show, our love for it and the characters brought us together to create some amazing things for it.

(Don’t worry, if you haven’t finished a certain day’s prompt (or multiple) and want to, you can post and tag us as always, we will still reblog it)

Thank you:

- To all participants.

Regardless of whether you posted one, two or all 7 works for prompts (and maybe even bonus ones!), your work has been crucial to this event. Your creativity and passion for your work moved us mods to ensure this event ran as smoothly as possible; as well as inspire us simultaneously.

- To all supporters!

Even if you didn’t create any work, spreading posts around, answering interest checks, and commenting and liking on your favourite submissions helped all the creators in the event.

- To the Summerland Legion Discord server:

Thank you for your support; reblogging interest checks, countdown posts, and giving input to help make the event run smoother! Thank you for expressing your support when I first suggested running a fan week, it was the first step in all of this.

For giving input that refined the prompt list into a better version of itself! The original (unseen) list and the final prompt list are worlds apart.

(Also small shoutout to my friend @ghost-maya who gave me tips on running the fan week, even though she hasn’t even watched legion haha)

- Finally, To @rachelkellcr

Thank you, Thank you so much for being an amazing mod, in so many ways. You created beautiful graphics for the prompt list and countdown, helped talk out some ideas with start dates and prompts, helped out with queueing, and were always so reliable. I could not have run this event without you. I would love to run the event with you again next year if you’d be up for it.

Legion may be over tonight, but this community will live on. I hope to run this event again, next year, as long as there are people ready to join in again.

Once again, thank you so much.

Melane and Ptonomy experiment with memory work, with unexpected results. For @legionfxweek Day 7: Time Travel.

She’s still early in her insomniac route tonight. She stands in the doorway to the sleeping quarters and to her surprise there’s still a light on. Grateful for the distraction, she walks over and pulls back the privacy curtain.

It’s one of their rescues, a teenaged boy. Paul Ptonomy Wallace. He’s started using Ptonomy as a kind of code name, but Melanie still calls him Paul.

“You should be asleep,” Melanie chides, gently.

Paul lets his book rest open on his chest. “So should you.”
