"Fanart Wednesday" doesn't have the same ring to it...

...but I didn't want to miss out on posting that the Nebris/Harumei fanart has already been made and it is SUPER CUTE. Also Nebris' response to that thread, which made my day. [This may be an excuse to make a Fanserver: Harumei tag as well....]

Also if this is going to be an impromptu replacement for Fanart Friday, might as well post last week's art on jokes, both of which have to do with Etho: Ethonian Coning by lurkey_dfw and Etho and Bajjer by rills.

And a prompt: a depiction of your favorite prank! Pause riding a Nether rail with Nyan Zombie Pigman? (Seriously, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw it...) Guude balancing on a huge brown mushroom in the air? A pile of gravel balancing on JSano's head? Let us know!

EDIT: Speaking of Nebris, Nebris singing A Whole New World to MC in sick/morning voice gives me FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS.

EDIT EDIT: Lord help me, but Dr. Brian Lorgon111 is kind of my type. Also, a stupid sexy sheep talks about stupid sexy fruit.

Regarding the Harumei thing... I feel pretty awful for her. She honestly seemed embarrassed in the fanserver video, so I hope this sudden attention isn't going to upset her. The fan art may have been a little overkill, cute as it is.
I dunno! Does anyone with more experience in shipping want to weigh in on the situation?

Also! I don't have a favorite prank, but I could try drawing something. Any suggestions?

She does seem a bit embarrassed, it's true, but I don't think she's truly upset. It seems she gets a lot of this relentless teasing on the fanserver with or without the public attention already. Then again, as I've said, I myself would be extremely flattered if people cared enough about me to ship me, because I realize it's a form of fannish affection - but whether I'm the exception or the rule, I have no idea.

Oh, I don't know if she is upset, I'm just saying that I hope she isn't bothered by the attention. Personally, I'd be embarrassed in her situation, so I'm also projecting myself a bit here. I think the difference between this and 'normal' shipping is that she actually has a bit of a crush, however minor, so it feels more like making fun of someone for having a crush. Again, not saying that's what anyone's intent is - but that's my reasoning for giving the girl some space.

I dunno, being teased just in your circle of friends on the fanserver and then having that open up to the community at large seem like two vastly different things. This is the most attention she's ever gotten (she said in her most recent video that the tour gave her the biggest boost of subscribers she's ever had, by a lot), and like half of the comments on her tour video are about the Nebris thing, some of them bordering on pervy, and she'll probably forever be known as the girl with the crush on Nebris, which, long term, I can see being pretty annoying if I was in that position if people were still going on about it. She also talked in her post tour video about just how embarrassed and nervous she was, which I hadn't really gotten from the tour itself since I thought she and Guude played off each other so well. In any case, I do hope she's not actually upset about any of it. The fanart was super cute, in any case.

I've been keeping a close eye on her responses to the shipping, because, well... her affection for Nebris's voice is completely adorable (and 100% understandable). She seems to be taking it in stride so far. I think as long as people keep in mind that it's just a crush, she'll be fine. She did respond to the fanart gif of her and Nebris, and I think it makes her embarrassed but not upset.
