muggle95Hello! I have been meaning to write this for a long while, but here is a non-event-specific letter about my likes and interests when it comes to exchange works
My past and present requests: as muggle95, as quandrix_quizard
General and Fic Likes (Fic)
Visual Art Specific Likes
Common squicks/DNWs that I'm fine with
My DNWs
Smut Likes (Fic)
Smut Likes (Art)
Common Smut DNWs I'm fine with
Under Construction beyond this point
Music/Podfic/Audio Preferences
Fandoms I often request
[To detangle; copy and pasted from a few different previous letters so there's some duplicates]
* unusual or experimental formats, including poetry, in universe documents, choose your own adventure,... (caveat: if your gift for me is primarily auditory, I may not have the focus to listen right away, but I will definitely still think it's cool)
* worldbuilding
* magic (especially magic with rules/magic as pseudoscience)
* two or more traumatized idiots helping each other to heal
* aus including soulmate aus (especially if there's worldbuilding around the ways "definitely for sure know who your soulmate is" changes how society developed, and/or if multiple and platonic soulmates are a common thing) and including setting-change aus that add or augment magic (setting change aus that remove or ignore magic are neutral. Not a dnw but I'm not as enthusiastic)
* dragons, whether or not they exist in canon
* likewise, pokemon fusions in any canon
* peggy sue style time travel
* literally anyone else rescuing harry potter from the dursleys (examples i can never get enough of include an older time traveling Harry, any of the avengers, a literal dragon (assuming parseltongue includes dragon language), etc...). Seriously I love this one so much I will happily read unrequested crossovers fandom blind
* queer characters and/or relationships
* hurt/comfort up to and including whump-with-comfort
* (hospital or sickfic-at-home) bedside vigil
* fluff
* feels in general
* fix-it fic
* attempted fix-it gone wrong
* Judaism, especially fantasy halacha (which Pokémon are kosher to eat? is using the green lanturn ring on shabbat performing a prohibited type of labor? etc)
* diversity in general
* writers making use of job-specific or other obscure knowledge they have from afk to make the fic world deeper and more interesting
* badass women (especially when the badassness isn't just "very macho but coincidentally girl" and they're allowed to embrace their femininity)
* rounded characters ("good" characters who have flaws but are still good overall, "bad" characters who have virtues and moral limits but that doesn't outweigh their misdeeds, etc)
* serious watsonian takes on video game mechanics, especially saving and death/respawn
* similarly, serious watsonian takes on the impossibly fast tech curves that come from a doylist "well the series has been running for decades and is always meant to be modern day despite the characters never aging"
- Worldbuilding
- Found family
- Complex characters that aren't wholly good or wholly bad
- Unreliable or blatantly biased narrators
- Outsider POV
- Everyday background details brought into focus (...aka more worldbuilding)
- "Crack treated seriously" aka you've focused on this one detail or scenario that maybe sounds absurd out of context but you've committed and if that detail/scenario is fact then everything that follows is a natural conclusion
- Messy conflicting human emotions
- Time travel fix it (especially Peggy Sue style)
- Time travel attempted fix it but everything keeps butterfly-effect spiraling out of control
- One or two OP characters rewriting the world to their liking (wish fulfillment)
- Gritty realism where nothing is that easy
- characters trying to change the world in huge sweeping ways but only succeeding at making smaller changes (for now)
- Traumatized characters not being okay immediately, but having time and the right support networks to eventually recover (whether on screen or just implied that they'll get there)
- Low stakes fluff
- Hurt/Comfort (up to and including whump, as long as the comfort follows)
- Introspection, low/no plot character studies
- Queer characters (any flavor, including aro, trans, polyam, etc)
+ I do generally opt in to polyam extensions of requested ships so long as the requested ship remains in focus. Exceptions will be specifically DNW'ed.
- Happily married/partnered couples that have been together for ages, and their small moments of domestic happiness
- Gameplay mechanics that characters in-universe are aware of to whatever degree (arguably a subset of "crack treated seriously").
- creators being self indulgent with an extra scene or three that inspire you, even if it isn't 100% on topic to the "requested ship" (especially in long-form creation like all the 3c exchanges. there's so much room to build depth and side plots and I love to see it)
Back to Top
* both traditional and digital media
* cel shading and heavy outlines
* usually-detailed characters drawn chibi in moments of High Emotion (a la Alphonse Elric)
* all black and white with just one additional color for emphasis (traditionally red to highlight blood or roses or something emotional, but any highlight color works)
* cool colors, especially in sky/mountainous backgrounds (also just in general. My favorite color is blue and I love basically every shade of green/teal/blue/purple)
* color schemes based on nearly any queer pride flag, especially if that flag applies to an included character (eg black/white/gray/light green for an agender or genderless character)
* pastel colors, especially for nostalgia or happy moments
* bright jewel tones in fabrics and dark-stained wooden furniture, where relevant
* that hard-to-draw detail that you're proud of being able to draw so well (for example, hands are a common source of artist stress, but on the flip side, artist pride. On a related note, I'm studying ASL so if a character communicates with it, and it suits the moment you're illustrating, showing someone signing can be a fun easter egg) (I am still at a "bubble hands" stage myself haha)
* strongly stylized character design (the sort where you can tell who's who by silhouette alone)
* any sort of background from super detailed to flat color to figures in front of a void
* geometric or fractal designs (triangles, squares, hexagons... anything that tiles)
* all varieties of body type (both in the skinny/muscular/hefty/fat spectrum, and in the triangle/square/hourglass/etc silhouette spectrum)
* scars, stretch marks, and other "defects" lovingly depicted
* human-animal hybrids/humans with animal features (cat/dog/fox ears, bird/bat/dragon wings, pre-full moon werecreatures starting to look like their moon forms, etc)
* hair/fur in general, whether or not as a hybrid feature. If your people/animals look soft and pettable, that's fantastic. Fantasy setting humans with body hair if razors are hard to come by/not a social norm is a delicious bit of worldbuilding. Werewolves that have extra body hair in human form, shortly before the full moon (male and female alike). Or on the high class side of things, long hair (including rapunzel style absurdly long hair) braided or put into setting-inspired fancy updos.
* book/podcast characters of unspecified race depicted as non-white
* casual background details representing a character's religion/disability/sexuality/other nonracial minority status (eg pride flags, mobility or hearing aids, necklaces with religious symbols, menorah in the window, etc)
* worldbuilding details (such as architecture motifs in the background, more than one moon in the evening sky, or whatever you're inspired to show me)
* small mammals (eg cats, dogs, rabbits), frogs, and lizards/salamanders (both real and draconic)
* any pokemon, whether or not they're canon to the setting
* fantasy creatures (dragons, firebirds/phoenixes, selkies or other shifters, centaurs, sphinxes, etc)
* absurdly small dragons interacting with human artefacts (curled up in a teacup, holding onto a single gold coin bigger than itself, etc)
*reskinning tarot cards to feature my requested characters or settings
Fandom specific art likes:
* Harry Potter's "lightning bolt scar" as a lichtenburg figure
.+ postcanon Harry having an equivalent scar on his chest
* i love Pernese dragons and fire lizards at either extreme of:
.+ very green "bronze", "brown" and "gold", and muddy "blue" and "green" so that you can imagine a whole flight of dragons/lizards blending together in the sky once you add in shadows and sun-highlighted spots, (the color categories running into each other like how on humans it's hard to define exactly when "red" hair is dark enough to just be called "brown" and on some people it's clear and on others you have to stare at it for a while to decide what color to call it)
.+ each of gold, bronze, brown, blue, and green being extremely distinct so there's no mistaking one for the other, not even brown and bronze
Prompty art likes:
* bedside vigil (relevant details that i think would suit this are listed just after this, but if you have a different Vision for an equivalent scene i'd love to see that too: bedridden character is asleep/unconscious and looks peaceful in contrast to vigilant character's stress lines/sweat/tears/bags under the eyes/other signs of Worry; vignette filter or whatever its called where darkness fades in from the outside of the piece, obscuring details further from the focus ie the bedridden character; vigilant char holding one of bedridden char's hands in both of theirs)
* blood seeping through bandages (especially if the bandages are incompletely covered up by a jacket or something, as though the character was intending to hide the injury from their friends and family.)
* characters holding hands (or reaching for each other but not quite touching) and blushing about it (especially if also looking Emphatically Away From each other
*
Back to Top
(To be clear: these are always welcome unless specifically DNW'ed in the current request)
* 1st or 2nd person fic
* OCs in major roles
* Ships not mentioned in requested tag (not necessarily canon, feel free to have the crackship of your heart cameo in the background. If it overlaps with a requested romantic ship and that requested ship is the one you're filling for, I prefer some happy flavor of polyamory (whether or not the characters call it that) and that the requested ship is together by the end)
* any and all standard archive warnings
* explicit sexual content outside of smut focused exchanges (including in art)
* slut/whore/pimp and similar words referring to sex work literally or metaphorically (prefer used fondly rather than shaming)
* pregnancy/kidfic
* natural disasters
* real world illness (including cancer/aids/covid)
* extreme written/verbal depictions of gore, including damage to fingers and eyes, significant amounts of blood
* moderate visual depictions of gore/injury/blood/decay
* body horror involving too many body parts or body parts which are misshapen but not injured
* character bashing (unless specified in event dnws)
Back to Top
Obviously none of these are binding unless I've also included them in my signup, but things that I often dnw include:
Fic:
* Readerfic using "y/n" or "yourname" or similar placeholders (either give the reader character a name or find ways to only ever call them by pet names or aliases, or something.)
* detailed description of the taste/texture/smell of vomit. (Vague descriptions that imply details at the level of "tastes/smells bad" or "sounds like liquid splashing" are fine.)
* plots in which the only conflict is a trans character being afraid of coming out as their true self. (Incidental mentions of -phobic family or the fear of coming out, in the middle of another plot, are fine)
* Beyond that, while I occasionally stumble across extremely specific combinations of things that I want to Not Read, my dnws vary wildly and often include dnws for things I usually like but I'm not in the mood for right now. Refer to my sign up for any dnws I want enforced for any specific event.
If DNWs aren't listed, you may trust that I don't want anything enforced and that I trust you as the creator to come up with something I love based on the likes and other info I've also shared here and in my signup. On the topic of any "common sense dnws" that i havent mentioned elsewhere: though your list and mine might not be identical, I've thought through my own list of "common sense: only if recip opts in" things and I really am perfectly with any that I haven't mentioned in the above DNW block, as long as there's something else going on that I'm interested in. For example if it's whump with a promise of comfort and/or optimistic ending, then graphic violence, torture/blackmail, sexual abuse, and other big "unpleasant" things are a great way to break the character down, even if I haven't specifically remembered to opt in to them. So combine "unspecified about sexual violence" with "whump (with comfort) is in my likes list" to conclude that a fic with explicit sexual violence meant to traumatize the character would be welcome (assuming the comfort follows, to match the listed like).
Art:
* vomit (unless extremely cartoonish "unicorns vomiting rainbows" or similarly unrealistic. Humanoid covering their mouth and looking green, or doubled over in puking posture with the vomit-mess offscreen/not visible from this angle/hasnt come out yet is also fine)
* "extreme" gore in the forms of: broken bones sticking out of the limb they ought to be supporting, intestines or other soft internal organs outside the body or needing to be held in place, maggots in rotting flesh (totally okay forms of gore: any amount of blood, including on knives or other implements of injury; limbs or fingers at painful unnatural angles implying broken bones as long as the surface is still unbroken skin or only lightly bloodied from surface scrapes (ie no bones visibly poking through); dismemberment with bloody stumps if i can't see the bones/muscles/other non-skin organs that might be visible in a fresh stump in a hyperrealistic style; clean skeletons with no hint of "once had soft fleshy bits" or with their only fleshy bits being moderately detailed heart and/or lungs in their life-appropriate places inside the ribcage.)
Back to Top
(Under construction, and cobbled together from old requests so may contain duplicates)
Good smut words: dick, cock, cunt. either spelling of cum/come. "Toe curling" orgasms. Orgasms as metaphorical fireworks or or as nearly any natural disaster (with a mild preference for ocean themed eg tidal wave, oncoming storm, etc)
* porn with or without plot,
* public sex/risk of being caught/actually getting caught (by friends/family who heckle or strangers who stare; not getting the characters arrested for public indecency),
* sweet gentle lovemaking,
* dry humping/fucking mostly clothed/fucking against a just-closed door/etc because they can't wait any longer to fuck each other,
* stoic/quiet characters getting loud with pleasure and then embarrased about it (partner finds it endearing and works to make them make more lovely sounds),
* fingering,
* intercrural sex,
* gratuitous unlikely amounts of cum/piss/slick,
* implausibly short or totally absent refractory periods,
* prostate milking,
* premature ejaculation,
* multiple orgasms,
* restraints,
* size difference (including being fucked so deep their belly bulges or cum inflation),
* omorashi (piss desperation/pants wetting), especially if followed by "I'll make you forget you're embarassed about that" sex,
* "piss hanahaki" (can't piss until love is acknowledged/reciprocated by loved one, usually leading to a piss flood as that conversation resolves)
* embarassment based on body or bodily-function (piss, genital size, being visibly/audibly horny, acting on being horny,...), especially if comforted by partner about it after,
* slutshaming-flavored humiliation/dirty talk ("you filthy slut" etc),
* "discover partner is implausibly already prepared for anal" situations (or just the universe magically has everyone always Prepared/cleaned out),
* characters with vaginas being so turned on they've soaked their panties and/or are literally dripping,
* wearing sex toys hidden under clothes in public, especially if controlled by someone other than the character wearing them
dub/noncon smut likes:
* groping/fucking someone without asking first - including chikan (groped by a stranger on public transit),
* victim feeling like they can't say no,
* initially said yes but realized they're in over their head and can't say no now (or the new no isn't respected),
* physical evidence of being turned on (wet, half-hard, blushing, etc) being naively or maliciously interpreted as full enthusiastic consent,
* character angry at their body or themself for "liking it" (getting turned on) when consciously they don't want it,
* fucking someone's mouth to silence their protests,
* non-kink power dynamics (especially landlord/tenant, employee/manager, or teacher/student),
* demanding sex in return for a small favor,
* an older character "teaching someone about sex" via demonstration, especially if blatantly actually teaching the younger about the older character's preferences plus just enough about taboo for the adult to not get caught,
* groomed children coming on to horrified adults later (or groomed children successfully seducing adults who weren't complicit in the initial grooming),
* pulling out to cum visibly on a victim's face/hair/clothes,
* cumming inside despite protests,
* fingering a vagina dry until it gets wet enough to fuck "properly",
* sex pollen and equivalents,
* mutual captives fucking each other for the captor's amusement under threat of worse,
* "couldn't help myself" defenses.
* dub/noncon plot like: emotional aftermath! Especially if the victim is drugged/unconscious or Too Young when victimized to have emotions about it Then, so it becomes fridge horror for them, as they slowly speculate/realize/come to terms with what they went through.
For dub/noncon with preteen victims I also enjoy
* seeing the victim forced to wet themself and then mocked for it (and then fucked with their wet pants around their ankles because that's all their dirty useless bodies are good for),
* older character admiring child's "innocent face" while the kid is happily doing something sexual
* role-playing as (or genuinely) "too distracted by 'horny' to ___" (too distracted to... take off clothes properly -> coming in pants or tearing clothes or fucking with clothes barely pulled aside | ask permission first -> noncon/dubcon/cnc | find privacy -> public sex or semi-public sex or getting caught having sex | pause for bathroom break -> omo/wetting | find condom -> pregnancy risk sex | etc)
* premature ejaculation or otherwise coming 'too soon' because the character is just that turned on by their partner (see also: coming in pants)
* clit stimulation/clit-only orgasms
* prostate-only orgasms/"coming untouched"
* multiple orgasms (especially as consensual torture)
* cum used to claim a partner (eg facials, coming in someone's panties and they wear those panties all day - everyone else might not see it, but the partner knows)
* on public display/available for public use/the town bicycle
* polyamory and open relationships
* queer relationships
* hand jobs under clothing especially if public or semi-public (with a special soft spot for hand jobs pulled out from under swimsuits while sitting in a hot tub or spa -> cumming underwater and the cum just billows about gorgeously in the current...)
* hand jobs over/through clothing (and then coming in pants)
* sex while mostly clothed, especially in fancy clothes (tux pants unzipped juuuuust enough to get a blowjob, otherwise looking perfectly put together, especially if given by a partner who looks similarly put together except for the dick in their face/cum on their face/in their hair)
* taboo, "problematic", and manipulative sexual relationships (student/teacher, older sibling/younger sibling, boss/secretary, mentor/mentee...)
* teachers abusing their power over students
* power exchange kink in otherwise very egalitarian/power-equal relationships
* having sex at school/work and risking getting caught (under-desk blowjobs mmmm)
* the dubcon of moving goalposts and testing boundaries ("just let me see you" turning into "what if we dry-hump each other but it doesn't go in" to "just the tip" to "of course I'll pull out" to pregnancy risk)
* dry humping leading to orgasms, especially if both parties get off
* grabbing/groping through clothing without asking first (established relationship or chikan)
* pregnancy risk (more the risky sex than the pregnancy itself) especially in relationships where the characters worry that pregnancy would "prove" that an illicit relationship was going on (teacher/student, parent/child, sibling/sibling...)
* breeding kink
* characters wearing hidden sex toys (butt plugs, bullet vibes, vibrating underwear, dildos that magically stay in place...) while going about their daily lives in public (especially if remote- or magic- or app-controlled vibrators and having to keep a straight face when partner suddenly changes the intensity of the vibrations...)
* pet play (eg collars and leashes, collars worn instead of other clothes (including while going on walks), sitting on the floor at their master's feet (especially if getting headpats or offering to provide under-desk blowjobs), praise kink ("good pet"), petplay combined with omorashi/bladder control (pet may only piss in the yard, pet must use litterbox or newspapered corner of tile floor instead of toilet)... just everything about pet play)
* A sitting in B's lap (making out, perhaps) and squirming because they need to pee but B is getting turned on by this and assumes A is just horny -> A pissing in B's lap and they're both (surprisingly or not) extremely turned on by this
* wetting oneself and then grinding against someone or something and the wet clothes enhance the experience
* the desperate humiliation side of omo even without piss: dancing and holding oneself and being certain everyone's watching and the quiet gasps as their control fails...
* bladder control where A has to ask B's permission to piss and/or use a toilet, and is sometimes denied.
* pokephilia/monsterfucking/alien fucking/human×shifter/etc, aka bestiality but probably with everyone being sapient (sapient ability to consent does not require that they do consent; dub/noncon is still tasty): nonhuman anatomy, inhuman amounts or textures of cum. May also come with size difference built in.
* generally prefer a blatantly-illustrated, 2d style over photorealistic
* feel free to also read my smutfic likes because probably 2/3 of that is illustratable actions, (the rest is more emotions based)
* happy trails and other body hair
* trans characters (canonically or otherwise) with any genitals, (being correctly gendered, if relevant text/dialogue is involved)
* dick bulge in pants/underwear (especially femme panties)
* lingerie that clings in all the right ways
* erection under skirt (with or without panties to contain it)
* femboys or transfemmes propping something between their boobs and their erection (clothed or naked)
* implausibly large amounts of cum (especially dripping off faces or down clothing, or overflowing out around the dick during piv sex, or solo masturbation + a fountain of cum taller than themself and about to or already splattered all over their own face/clothing)
* character A cumming in B's panties while B wears them (especially if caption/dialogue/posture suggests B will pull them back up to wear all day)
* upskirt shots (especially with no panties; any genitals)
* belly bulges from size difference penetration or from cum inflation
* omorashi (piss desperation) depicted via:
- bladder meter
- holding oneself/holding and motion lines implying squirming and/or dancing while trying not to piss
- small wet patches on clothing when someone first loses control (glistening at the edges)
- mid-flood with piss flooding out of character, down/between their legs and already puddled around them (implausibly large amounts of piss welcome to be combined with this)
- character blushing while holding and blushing and/or crying after losing control
* "O faces"/ahegao, blushing (including full body blushing, if the character's skin tone allows)
* any other relevant facial expression
* dub- or nobcon aggressor's face being hidden in shadow from the nose up
* Nonhumans in any range from kemonomimi to pokemon to werewolf/mythical being or beast to animal shifters or aliens (if relevant to image caption or comic/dialogue, I do prefer that all involved parties be sapient - not to avoid intelligence-related consent issues, but so any victims of consent issues can have emotional aftermath about it, even if I'm adding/imagining that part myself)
Words: length, pussy, core, rod, spunk, jizz, seed, cocklet/dicklet or similar diminutives for transmasc or underage bodies (not a dislike for adult cismasc but i will read it as sph so please only use if that is the intent); clinical terms like vagina, labia, penis are generally neutral for me, they fade into the background like 'said' when used in moderation. On the other hand if it's a characterizing detail, for example a highly educated character who hasn't let themself think about sex enough to start using my otherwise-preferred slang terms, please do overuse the clinical terms to establish their voice.
Art: I do not care strongly about the choice between super detailed, veiny, mushroom headed dicks or generic cartoony rod dicks.
Tropes/kinks:
* pregnancy/childbirth (and considering I love pregnancy risk sex, it's totally fine to follow up with a pregnancy subplot it just doesn't Excite me the same way)
* incest when not implicit to requested ship
* bestiality (tldr I prefer the victim who can't or doesn't consent to be intelligent enough to have emotional aftermath about it - for that reason, pokephilia or sex with between humans and animal shifters that keep their intelligent minds is excellent rather than neutral)
* scat (preference for solid turd/bulging pants over liquid turd/stained pants.)
* omutsu/diaper kink
* snuff play (also I prefer the victims be only temporarily dead or OCs rather than involving permadeath of requested canon characters)
* vore
* cum swallowing
* blood play, including blood drinking
* "parent dom little kid" play between adults (actual age/power difference is up in likes)
* modern formal bdsm terms (including safewords/traffic light system) and relationship dynamics (prefer it to be plausible in the original setting or current AU)
*onscreen kink negotiation (discussion based, such as describing what they're hoping for or worried about, not checklist based)
Words: bussy/thrussy and other bodypart-pussy contractions, twat, clitty used for cisfemme or transmasc bodies (clitty as affirming diminutive for transfemme dick is neutral).
Art: character making eye contact with the viewer when they have a consenting partner Right There (in noncon, if the vibe is the victim pleading for help, or the aggressor showing off their conquest, then I don't mind the eye contact with the viewer/imaginary camera. If a character is masturbating solo and making eye contact with the viewer/camera that's also fine)
* vomit/emetophilia as a sexual focus ("oops inexperienced at blowjobs and gag-reflex puked" acceptable as humor/characterizing/false start but prefer vomit still not the long term focus in smut scenes. Nonsexual sickfic involving vomit welcome, subject to "dnw: graphic depiction of vomit))
* "human toilet" or similar kinks centered around ingesting bodily waste, especially in large quantities. (Incidental "Oh the first lick of this blowjob tasted like piss" is fine. Sweat is fine.)
* toilet licking
* on screen kink negotiations that are just the characters going through a checklist and saying yes or no to certain kinks for more than about three lines of dialogue. (Fine to include a summary of events that skims over "and they checked about a lot of things before starting their current scene" that implies a checklist or similar was used)

Previously, I have dnw'ed or just not requested auditory media because my auditory processing and attention span for New Audible Things are... Unreliable. However, I'm considering branching out my styles of request (if I'm ever Certain I'll be able to appreciate any gifts in the form) so I've made this section to organize my likes so that it's Ready by the time I make any such requests.
Details I enjoy in music:
* horns/brass
* any and all bass instruments especially bass clarinet
* bells (any of tubular bells, the xylophone cousin called "bells", handbells, a carrilon, church tower bells,...)
* those few dissonant(? Tension building) chords mid key change that finally resolve into a major chord in the new key (if words are also included in the music: presumably at a suitably emotionally charged place/time in the lyrics)
* creative not-an-instruments used as percussion (examples include: the cannons in Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture, the typewriter in Anderson's The Typerwriter, the cash register(s) in Pink Floyd's Money)
* canons/rounds/echoes of previous motifs alongside new ones
* unusual time signatures (5/4, 7/8, 11/8, etc) or the occasional measure in a Different time signature than the bulk of a piece to convey unrest and/or imbalance
Things that will help me enjoy an auditory gift: (tldr: something to do with my eyes that'll keep me focused on the audio)
* transcripts of verbal pieces
* captioned music videos or plain lyric videos
* sheet music (eg the musescore file that generated an instrumental mp3)
Likely DNWs:
* sudden drastic volume changes
* excessive clipping/popping (sound effects relevant to a story are fine; this dnw describes the thing where your microphone recorded a square sound wave bc you were louder than the maximum volume it knew how to record)
* nonfiction slurs [need to workshop this for clarity/enforcability because of the euphemism treadmill]

+ I do generally opt in to polyam extensions of requested ships so long as the requested ship remains in focus. Exceptions will be specifically DNW'ed.
- Happily married/partnered couples that have been together for ages, and their small moments of domestic happiness
- Gameplay mechanics that characters in-universe are aware of to whatever degree (arguably a subset of "crack treated seriously").
- creators being self indulgent with an extra scene or three that inspire you, even if it isn't 100% on topic to the "requested ship" (especially in long-form creation like all the 3c exchanges. there's so much room to build depth and side plots and I love to see it)

Visual Art Specific Likes
* both traditional and digital media
* cel shading and heavy outlines
* usually-detailed characters drawn chibi in moments of High Emotion (a la Alphonse Elric)
* all black and white with just one additional color for emphasis (traditionally red to highlight blood or roses or something emotional, but any highlight color works)
* cool colors, especially in sky/mountainous backgrounds (also just in general. My favorite color is blue and I love basically every shade of green/teal/blue/purple)
* color schemes based on nearly any queer pride flag, especially if that flag applies to an included character (eg black/white/gray/light green for an agender or genderless character)
* pastel colors, especially for nostalgia or happy moments
* bright jewel tones in fabrics and dark-stained wooden furniture, where relevant
* that hard-to-draw detail that you're proud of being able to draw so well (for example, hands are a common source of artist stress, but on the flip side, artist pride. On a related note, I'm studying ASL so if a character communicates with it, and it suits the moment you're illustrating, showing someone signing can be a fun easter egg) (I am still at a "bubble hands" stage myself haha)
* strongly stylized character design (the sort where you can tell who's who by silhouette alone)
* any sort of background from super detailed to flat color to figures in front of a void
* geometric or fractal designs (triangles, squares, hexagons... anything that tiles)
* all varieties of body type (both in the skinny/muscular/hefty/fat spectrum, and in the triangle/square/hourglass/etc silhouette spectrum)
* scars, stretch marks, and other "defects" lovingly depicted
* human-animal hybrids/humans with animal features (cat/dog/fox ears, bird/bat/dragon wings, pre-full moon werecreatures starting to look like their moon forms, etc)
* hair/fur in general, whether or not as a hybrid feature. If your people/animals look soft and pettable, that's fantastic. Fantasy setting humans with body hair if razors are hard to come by/not a social norm is a delicious bit of worldbuilding. Werewolves that have extra body hair in human form, shortly before the full moon (male and female alike). Or on the high class side of things, long hair (including rapunzel style absurdly long hair) braided or put into setting-inspired fancy updos.
* book/podcast characters of unspecified race depicted as non-white
* casual background details representing a character's religion/disability/sexuality/other nonracial minority status (eg pride flags, mobility or hearing aids, necklaces with religious symbols, menorah in the window, etc)
* worldbuilding details (such as architecture motifs in the background, more than one moon in the evening sky, or whatever you're inspired to show me)
* small mammals (eg cats, dogs, rabbits), frogs, and lizards/salamanders (both real and draconic)
* any pokemon, whether or not they're canon to the setting
* fantasy creatures (dragons, firebirds/phoenixes, selkies or other shifters, centaurs, sphinxes, etc)
* absurdly small dragons interacting with human artefacts (curled up in a teacup, holding onto a single gold coin bigger than itself, etc)
*reskinning tarot cards to feature my requested characters or settings
Fandom specific art likes:
* Harry Potter's "lightning bolt scar" as a lichtenburg figure
.+ postcanon Harry having an equivalent scar on his chest
* i love Pernese dragons and fire lizards at either extreme of:
.+ very green "bronze", "brown" and "gold", and muddy "blue" and "green" so that you can imagine a whole flight of dragons/lizards blending together in the sky once you add in shadows and sun-highlighted spots, (the color categories running into each other like how on humans it's hard to define exactly when "red" hair is dark enough to just be called "brown" and on some people it's clear and on others you have to stare at it for a while to decide what color to call it)
.+ each of gold, bronze, brown, blue, and green being extremely distinct so there's no mistaking one for the other, not even brown and bronze
Prompty art likes:
* bedside vigil (relevant details that i think would suit this are listed just after this, but if you have a different Vision for an equivalent scene i'd love to see that too: bedridden character is asleep/unconscious and looks peaceful in contrast to vigilant character's stress lines/sweat/tears/bags under the eyes/other signs of Worry; vignette filter or whatever its called where darkness fades in from the outside of the piece, obscuring details further from the focus ie the bedridden character; vigilant char holding one of bedridden char's hands in both of theirs)
* blood seeping through bandages (especially if the bandages are incompletely covered up by a jacket or something, as though the character was intending to hide the injury from their friends and family.)
* characters holding hands (or reaching for each other but not quite touching) and blushing about it (especially if also looking Emphatically Away From each other
*

Common squicks/dislikes/dnws that I'm neutral on:
(To be clear: these are always welcome unless specifically DNW'ed in the current request)
* 1st or 2nd person fic
* OCs in major roles
* Ships not mentioned in requested tag (not necessarily canon, feel free to have the crackship of your heart cameo in the background. If it overlaps with a requested romantic ship and that requested ship is the one you're filling for, I prefer some happy flavor of polyamory (whether or not the characters call it that) and that the requested ship is together by the end)
* any and all standard archive warnings
* explicit sexual content outside of smut focused exchanges (including in art)
* slut/whore/pimp and similar words referring to sex work literally or metaphorically (prefer used fondly rather than shaming)
* pregnancy/kidfic
* natural disasters
* real world illness (including cancer/aids/covid)
* extreme written/verbal depictions of gore, including damage to fingers and eyes, significant amounts of blood
* moderate visual depictions of gore/injury/blood/decay
* body horror involving too many body parts or body parts which are misshapen but not injured
* character bashing (unless specified in event dnws)

My (typical) DNWs and some notes
Obviously none of these are binding unless I've also included them in my signup, but things that I often dnw include:
Fic:
* Readerfic using "y/n" or "yourname" or similar placeholders (either give the reader character a name or find ways to only ever call them by pet names or aliases, or something.)
* detailed description of the taste/texture/smell of vomit. (Vague descriptions that imply details at the level of "tastes/smells bad" or "sounds like liquid splashing" are fine.)
* plots in which the only conflict is a trans character being afraid of coming out as their true self. (Incidental mentions of -phobic family or the fear of coming out, in the middle of another plot, are fine)
* Beyond that, while I occasionally stumble across extremely specific combinations of things that I want to Not Read, my dnws vary wildly and often include dnws for things I usually like but I'm not in the mood for right now. Refer to my sign up for any dnws I want enforced for any specific event.
If DNWs aren't listed, you may trust that I don't want anything enforced and that I trust you as the creator to come up with something I love based on the likes and other info I've also shared here and in my signup. On the topic of any "common sense dnws" that i havent mentioned elsewhere: though your list and mine might not be identical, I've thought through my own list of "common sense: only if recip opts in" things and I really am perfectly with any that I haven't mentioned in the above DNW block, as long as there's something else going on that I'm interested in. For example if it's whump with a promise of comfort and/or optimistic ending, then graphic violence, torture/blackmail, sexual abuse, and other big "unpleasant" things are a great way to break the character down, even if I haven't specifically remembered to opt in to them. So combine "unspecified about sexual violence" with "whump (with comfort) is in my likes list" to conclude that a fic with explicit sexual violence meant to traumatize the character would be welcome (assuming the comfort follows, to match the listed like).
Art:
* vomit (unless extremely cartoonish "unicorns vomiting rainbows" or similarly unrealistic. Humanoid covering their mouth and looking green, or doubled over in puking posture with the vomit-mess offscreen/not visible from this angle/hasnt come out yet is also fine)
* "extreme" gore in the forms of: broken bones sticking out of the limb they ought to be supporting, intestines or other soft internal organs outside the body or needing to be held in place, maggots in rotting flesh (totally okay forms of gore: any amount of blood, including on knives or other implements of injury; limbs or fingers at painful unnatural angles implying broken bones as long as the surface is still unbroken skin or only lightly bloodied from surface scrapes (ie no bones visibly poking through); dismemberment with bloody stumps if i can't see the bones/muscles/other non-skin organs that might be visible in a fresh stump in a hyperrealistic style; clean skeletons with no hint of "once had soft fleshy bits" or with their only fleshy bits being moderately detailed heart and/or lungs in their life-appropriate places inside the ribcage.)

Smut preferences
A note on smut words for trans bodies
For trans genitals, I prefer adjectives attached to the usual body part slang, such as "large clit" or "small dick" over trans-specific euphemisms like "t-dick". (Exception: if a canonically trans character has a canonically-expressed preference for terms I'm otherwise meh about: prefer to match canon.) Traditionally-gendered body part words matching a trans character's agab are fine (eg dick on a pre op/non op transfemme) as long as their pronouns are correct in the narration. Traditionally gendered body part names that are affirming to the trans character but misleading about the current shape (eg balls referring to a transmasc's labia) are also fine. Please pick terms in a way that you think the characters involved would use them, and correctly pronoun the trans character(s) in any narration and I'll be happy.(Under construction, and cobbled together from old requests so may contain duplicates)
omg hot (smut yes)
Good smut words: dick, cock, cunt. either spelling of cum/come. "Toe curling" orgasms. Orgasms as metaphorical fireworks or or as nearly any natural disaster (with a mild preference for ocean themed eg tidal wave, oncoming storm, etc)
smut (fic) likes:
* porn with or without plot,
* public sex/risk of being caught/actually getting caught (by friends/family who heckle or strangers who stare; not getting the characters arrested for public indecency),
* sweet gentle lovemaking,
* dry humping/fucking mostly clothed/fucking against a just-closed door/etc because they can't wait any longer to fuck each other,
* stoic/quiet characters getting loud with pleasure and then embarrased about it (partner finds it endearing and works to make them make more lovely sounds),
* fingering,
* intercrural sex,
* gratuitous unlikely amounts of cum/piss/slick,
* implausibly short or totally absent refractory periods,
* prostate milking,
* premature ejaculation,
* multiple orgasms,
* restraints,
* size difference (including being fucked so deep their belly bulges or cum inflation),
* omorashi (piss desperation/pants wetting), especially if followed by "I'll make you forget you're embarassed about that" sex,
* "piss hanahaki" (can't piss until love is acknowledged/reciprocated by loved one, usually leading to a piss flood as that conversation resolves)
* embarassment based on body or bodily-function (piss, genital size, being visibly/audibly horny, acting on being horny,...), especially if comforted by partner about it after,
* slutshaming-flavored humiliation/dirty talk ("you filthy slut" etc),
* "discover partner is implausibly already prepared for anal" situations (or just the universe magically has everyone always Prepared/cleaned out),
* characters with vaginas being so turned on they've soaked their panties and/or are literally dripping,
* wearing sex toys hidden under clothes in public, especially if controlled by someone other than the character wearing them
dub/noncon smut likes:
* groping/fucking someone without asking first - including chikan (groped by a stranger on public transit),
* victim feeling like they can't say no,
* initially said yes but realized they're in over their head and can't say no now (or the new no isn't respected),
* physical evidence of being turned on (wet, half-hard, blushing, etc) being naively or maliciously interpreted as full enthusiastic consent,
* character angry at their body or themself for "liking it" (getting turned on) when consciously they don't want it,
* fucking someone's mouth to silence their protests,
* non-kink power dynamics (especially landlord/tenant, employee/manager, or teacher/student),
* demanding sex in return for a small favor,
* an older character "teaching someone about sex" via demonstration, especially if blatantly actually teaching the younger about the older character's preferences plus just enough about taboo for the adult to not get caught,
* groomed children coming on to horrified adults later (or groomed children successfully seducing adults who weren't complicit in the initial grooming),
* pulling out to cum visibly on a victim's face/hair/clothes,
* cumming inside despite protests,
* fingering a vagina dry until it gets wet enough to fuck "properly",
* sex pollen and equivalents,
* mutual captives fucking each other for the captor's amusement under threat of worse,
* "couldn't help myself" defenses.
* dub/noncon plot like: emotional aftermath! Especially if the victim is drugged/unconscious or Too Young when victimized to have emotions about it Then, so it becomes fridge horror for them, as they slowly speculate/realize/come to terms with what they went through.
For dub/noncon with preteen victims I also enjoy
* seeing the victim forced to wet themself and then mocked for it (and then fucked with their wet pants around their ankles because that's all their dirty useless bodies are good for),
* older character admiring child's "innocent face" while the kid is happily doing something sexual
* role-playing as (or genuinely) "too distracted by 'horny' to ___" (too distracted to... take off clothes properly -> coming in pants or tearing clothes or fucking with clothes barely pulled aside | ask permission first -> noncon/dubcon/cnc | find privacy -> public sex or semi-public sex or getting caught having sex | pause for bathroom break -> omo/wetting | find condom -> pregnancy risk sex | etc)
* premature ejaculation or otherwise coming 'too soon' because the character is just that turned on by their partner (see also: coming in pants)
* clit stimulation/clit-only orgasms
* prostate-only orgasms/"coming untouched"
* multiple orgasms (especially as consensual torture)
* cum used to claim a partner (eg facials, coming in someone's panties and they wear those panties all day - everyone else might not see it, but the partner knows)
* on public display/available for public use/the town bicycle
* polyamory and open relationships
* queer relationships
* hand jobs under clothing especially if public or semi-public (with a special soft spot for hand jobs pulled out from under swimsuits while sitting in a hot tub or spa -> cumming underwater and the cum just billows about gorgeously in the current...)
* hand jobs over/through clothing (and then coming in pants)
* sex while mostly clothed, especially in fancy clothes (tux pants unzipped juuuuust enough to get a blowjob, otherwise looking perfectly put together, especially if given by a partner who looks similarly put together except for the dick in their face/cum on their face/in their hair)
* taboo, "problematic", and manipulative sexual relationships (student/teacher, older sibling/younger sibling, boss/secretary, mentor/mentee...)
* teachers abusing their power over students
* power exchange kink in otherwise very egalitarian/power-equal relationships
* having sex at school/work and risking getting caught (under-desk blowjobs mmmm)
* the dubcon of moving goalposts and testing boundaries ("just let me see you" turning into "what if we dry-hump each other but it doesn't go in" to "just the tip" to "of course I'll pull out" to pregnancy risk)
* dry humping leading to orgasms, especially if both parties get off
* grabbing/groping through clothing without asking first (established relationship or chikan)
* pregnancy risk (more the risky sex than the pregnancy itself) especially in relationships where the characters worry that pregnancy would "prove" that an illicit relationship was going on (teacher/student, parent/child, sibling/sibling...)
* breeding kink
* characters wearing hidden sex toys (butt plugs, bullet vibes, vibrating underwear, dildos that magically stay in place...) while going about their daily lives in public (especially if remote- or magic- or app-controlled vibrators and having to keep a straight face when partner suddenly changes the intensity of the vibrations...)
* pet play (eg collars and leashes, collars worn instead of other clothes (including while going on walks), sitting on the floor at their master's feet (especially if getting headpats or offering to provide under-desk blowjobs), praise kink ("good pet"), petplay combined with omorashi/bladder control (pet may only piss in the yard, pet must use litterbox or newspapered corner of tile floor instead of toilet)... just everything about pet play)
* A sitting in B's lap (making out, perhaps) and squirming because they need to pee but B is getting turned on by this and assumes A is just horny -> A pissing in B's lap and they're both (surprisingly or not) extremely turned on by this
* wetting oneself and then grinding against someone or something and the wet clothes enhance the experience
* the desperate humiliation side of omo even without piss: dancing and holding oneself and being certain everyone's watching and the quiet gasps as their control fails...
* bladder control where A has to ask B's permission to piss and/or use a toilet, and is sometimes denied.
* pokephilia/monsterfucking/alien fucking/human×shifter/etc, aka bestiality but probably with everyone being sapient (sapient ability to consent does not require that they do consent; dub/noncon is still tasty): nonhuman anatomy, inhuman amounts or textures of cum. May also come with size difference built in.
smut (art) likes:
* generally prefer a blatantly-illustrated, 2d style over photorealistic
* feel free to also read my smutfic likes because probably 2/3 of that is illustratable actions, (the rest is more emotions based)
* happy trails and other body hair
* trans characters (canonically or otherwise) with any genitals, (being correctly gendered, if relevant text/dialogue is involved)
* dick bulge in pants/underwear (especially femme panties)
* lingerie that clings in all the right ways
* erection under skirt (with or without panties to contain it)
* femboys or transfemmes propping something between their boobs and their erection (clothed or naked)
* implausibly large amounts of cum (especially dripping off faces or down clothing, or overflowing out around the dick during piv sex, or solo masturbation + a fountain of cum taller than themself and about to or already splattered all over their own face/clothing)
* character A cumming in B's panties while B wears them (especially if caption/dialogue/posture suggests B will pull them back up to wear all day)
* upskirt shots (especially with no panties; any genitals)
* belly bulges from size difference penetration or from cum inflation
* omorashi (piss desperation) depicted via:
- bladder meter
- holding oneself/holding and motion lines implying squirming and/or dancing while trying not to piss
- small wet patches on clothing when someone first loses control (glistening at the edges)
- mid-flood with piss flooding out of character, down/between their legs and already puddled around them (implausibly large amounts of piss welcome to be combined with this)
- character blushing while holding and blushing and/or crying after losing control
* "O faces"/ahegao, blushing (including full body blushing, if the character's skin tone allows)
* any other relevant facial expression
* dub- or nobcon aggressor's face being hidden in shadow from the nose up
* Nonhumans in any range from kemonomimi to pokemon to werewolf/mythical being or beast to animal shifters or aliens (if relevant to image caption or comic/dialogue, I do prefer that all involved parties be sapient - not to avoid intelligence-related consent issues, but so any victims of consent issues can have emotional aftermath about it, even if I'm adding/imagining that part myself)
smut neutral (not a Love but fine to include)
Words: length, pussy, core, rod, spunk, jizz, seed, cocklet/dicklet or similar diminutives for transmasc or underage bodies (not a dislike for adult cismasc but i will read it as sph so please only use if that is the intent); clinical terms like vagina, labia, penis are generally neutral for me, they fade into the background like 'said' when used in moderation. On the other hand if it's a characterizing detail, for example a highly educated character who hasn't let themself think about sex enough to start using my otherwise-preferred slang terms, please do overuse the clinical terms to establish their voice.
Art: I do not care strongly about the choice between super detailed, veiny, mushroom headed dicks or generic cartoony rod dicks.
Tropes/kinks:
* pregnancy/childbirth (and considering I love pregnancy risk sex, it's totally fine to follow up with a pregnancy subplot it just doesn't Excite me the same way)
* incest when not implicit to requested ship
* bestiality (tldr I prefer the victim who can't or doesn't consent to be intelligent enough to have emotional aftermath about it - for that reason, pokephilia or sex with between humans and animal shifters that keep their intelligent minds is excellent rather than neutral)
* scat (preference for solid turd/bulging pants over liquid turd/stained pants.)
* omutsu/diaper kink
* snuff play (also I prefer the victims be only temporarily dead or OCs rather than involving permadeath of requested canon characters)
* vore
* cum swallowing
* blood play, including blood drinking
* "parent dom little kid" play between adults (actual age/power difference is up in likes)
* modern formal bdsm terms (including safewords/traffic light system) and relationship dynamics (prefer it to be plausible in the original setting or current AU)
*onscreen kink negotiation (discussion based, such as describing what they're hoping for or worried about, not checklist based)
Smut DNWs/Dislikes
Words: bussy/thrussy and other bodypart-pussy contractions, twat, clitty used for cisfemme or transmasc bodies (clitty as affirming diminutive for transfemme dick is neutral).
Art: character making eye contact with the viewer when they have a consenting partner Right There (in noncon, if the vibe is the victim pleading for help, or the aggressor showing off their conquest, then I don't mind the eye contact with the viewer/imaginary camera. If a character is masturbating solo and making eye contact with the viewer/camera that's also fine)
* vomit/emetophilia as a sexual focus ("oops inexperienced at blowjobs and gag-reflex puked" acceptable as humor/characterizing/false start but prefer vomit still not the long term focus in smut scenes. Nonsexual sickfic involving vomit welcome, subject to "dnw: graphic depiction of vomit))
* "human toilet" or similar kinks centered around ingesting bodily waste, especially in large quantities. (Incidental "Oh the first lick of this blowjob tasted like piss" is fine. Sweat is fine.)
* toilet licking
* on screen kink negotiations that are just the characters going through a checklist and saying yes or no to certain kinks for more than about three lines of dialogue. (Fine to include a summary of events that skims over "and they checked about a lot of things before starting their current scene" that implies a checklist or similar was used)

Music and other auditory likes
[under construction]
Previously, I have dnw'ed or just not requested auditory media because my auditory processing and attention span for New Audible Things are... Unreliable. However, I'm considering branching out my styles of request (if I'm ever Certain I'll be able to appreciate any gifts in the form) so I've made this section to organize my likes so that it's Ready by the time I make any such requests.
Details I enjoy in music:
* horns/brass
* any and all bass instruments especially bass clarinet
* bells (any of tubular bells, the xylophone cousin called "bells", handbells, a carrilon, church tower bells,...)
* those few dissonant(? Tension building) chords mid key change that finally resolve into a major chord in the new key (if words are also included in the music: presumably at a suitably emotionally charged place/time in the lyrics)
* creative not-an-instruments used as percussion (examples include: the cannons in Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture, the typewriter in Anderson's The Typerwriter, the cash register(s) in Pink Floyd's Money)
* canons/rounds/echoes of previous motifs alongside new ones
* unusual time signatures (5/4, 7/8, 11/8, etc) or the occasional measure in a Different time signature than the bulk of a piece to convey unrest and/or imbalance
Things that will help me enjoy an auditory gift: (tldr: something to do with my eyes that'll keep me focused on the audio)
* transcripts of verbal pieces
* captioned music videos or plain lyric videos
* sheet music (eg the musescore file that generated an instrumental mp3)
Likely DNWs:
* sudden drastic volume changes
* excessive clipping/popping (sound effects relevant to a story are fine; this dnw describes the thing where your microphone recorded a square sound wave bc you were louder than the maximum volume it knew how to record)
* nonfiction slurs [need to workshop this for clarity/enforcability because of the euphemism treadmill]
