[embraceyourinnerdork]

Hello hello, I am mellamomuyloco on AO3, and I thank you in advance for anything you create for me! (Treats are welcome!)

General likes: Empathic bonds, The Power of Friendship/Love, hurt/comfort (physical/post-battle patchups and emotional/trauma-based both welcome), angst with a happy ending, humor, introspection, vulnerability from the strong/bravado type, crying, queer/trans headcanons*, metaphors, first or second person POV (third is also fine of course, but these two are less common and I want it known that I also like them), leaning on the fourth wall, accidental confessions, confessions where they're emotionally backed against the wall and admitting their feelings is the only way out, A pined/B fell suddenly, mutual pining (are they friends and don't want to risk that? worried about long distance or other loyalties? under the impression the other is an incompatible orientation? just plain afraid to be vulnerable?)

*I've been advised to be more specific here, so: don't be afraid to tackle dysphoria if that's what comes to mind! I find it cathartic rather than triggering. Gender euphoria is even better. If I have specific trans headcanons I will mention them in the relevant fandom sections, but otherwise go wild! Trans 100% includes non-binary here. (Normally I would say go nuts with level of physical transition, but I think most of the canon guys I've listed have been shown with their shirts off, so if you're writing them transmasc, assume top surgery.) For NSFW, penetration is fine. Do not feel you need to go out of your way for any of this; just know it's an option I'm cool with

NSFW likes: Clothed sex, edging, overstimulation, multiple orgasms, toys, voice kink, praise kink, sparring as foreplay, sensation play, focus on hands

Art likes: Bold vibrant color, expressive faces and bodies, symbolism!!, physical affection of all stripes, characters looking beat up

DNW: Permanent death of requested characters, infidelity (if requested ships contradict canon, assume the canon ship either broke up or is poly/open), rape between requested ships (rape in a character's backstory is fine), abusive relationships, requested ships permanently breaking up, feminizing/emasculation kink, scat, diapers, vore, inflation, bleak endings (bittersweet is fine), humiliation/degradation kink (nonsexual humiliation is fine), daddy kink, ageplay, breeding kink
 

Fandoms:

G Gundam

• Solo: Chibodee Crocket
• Chibodee Crocket/Domon Kasshu
• Shirley Laine & Bunny Higgins & Cath Ronary & Janet Smith
• Argo Gulskii/Nastasha Zabigov
• WB: Life on Earth in Future Century

Oh, G Gundam, my love. I did a promo for this series here! I think this is the only fandom on my list where any recursive/remix work is gonna be relevant, as you may see on my AO3.

Episodes 2, 7, 18, 31, and 35 are highlights for Chibodee and the gals (Shirley, Bunny, Cath and Janet are Chibodee's support crew), with 2 and 18 and especially 35 being the go-tos for the Chibodee/Domon dynamic. I also have ship questionnaires I filled out for them! And a playlist! And my ship tag on Tumblr, including my art! You are super not required to read any of that, but if you're curious and looking for ideas, it's there. (I also really like the headcanon of Chibodee being a trans guy, and Shirley a trans woman.) (As for NSFW, I really want to make a dirty joke about Domon's "Shining Finger" technique. Ahem.)

The episodes for Argo/Nastasha would be 5, 8, 19, 38, and 46 and I have meta on them here (tl;dr I think she got him pardoned). Also I once read a post that referred to a male sub as a "queensguard" and compared him to a rottweiler on a leash, and that's kind of how I see their dynamic.

Also I realize some of these tags can dip into each other - Chibodee and the gals were canonically raised on Earth, and we don't know about Argo’s backstory, but it might be poetic for him and his crew to be from Earth and they became space pirates to take back what the colonies stole?

I also think there's room for my love of empathic bonds in this setting, between the mostly-unexplained magic that binds the Shuffle Alliance together and the canon concept of “communicating with your fists”, especially exploring what adding a romantic/sexual dimension to those would do.

SK8 the Infinity

• Solo: Higa Hiromi | Shadow

I just really love Shadow. Design him a new outfit! Explore the divide between his identities! Tell me how he got started with S! Muse on his gender or sexuality, whatever you decide that may be! (I tend to default to genderqueer myself, but honestly with the right writing I could buy anything.) Suggest how he sources his weapons! He's just such a bombastic character and I want more of him.

Dream Daddy

• Dadsona/Creator's Choice of Dateable Dad(s)
• Solo: Dadsona (Dream Daddy)
• Amanda & Dadsona

Feel free to be intentionally vague as the game is, but if you want specifics to work with, my go-to dadsona is called Jay Hawthorne, he's trans and poly, a short skinny dude with an auburn ponytail and sharp nose and lots of body hair, and he's an actor/voiceover artist who got his “big break” with a PBS gig. He also wrote the fic Damian had bound, to his flattery and horror. I pair him with Craig and Brian most often, but the tag says creator’s choice and I stand by that - put Dadsona with anyone and however many you want! Maybe all the dads in the cul-de-sac make up the Greater Maple Bay Polycule to Amanda’s embarrassment, I don't care! And like I said, this can be my Dadsona, canon vague Dadsona, even your Dadsona! 

 

Sailor Moon

• Seiya Kou & Taiki Kou & Yaten Kou
• Chiba Mamoru/Fiore

The Starlights!! A silly vignette about the boy band life? A reflection on their disguise and relationship to gender (perhaps one of them finds more joy in presenting masc than they expected)? A quiet moment after they've finally found their princess? The other two helping Seiya through their feelings for Usagi? I just want to see more with these three. As for Mamoru/Fiore, they are devastatingly pretty and there's such a beautiful tragedy between these two lonely boys. (Mamoru can also still be with Usagi, that's fine, just not the focus. Or maybe you wanna do unrequited, that's fine too.)

 

Yu-Gi-Oh DM

• Ishizu Ishtar & Marik Ishtar & Rishid Ishtar | Odion Ishtar

Like the Starlights above, I just want more family. They've got so much backstory to delve into, but I'd also just love to see how they're doing post-canon, how they adapt and pick up the pieces. Or just give them some cool new outfits.

Gundam Wing

• Chang Wufei/Sally Po

I have to sate twelve-year-old me with this one, as it's probably the thing here I've been shipping the longest. I just love that she can get through to him when nobody else can, and in such a quiet, resolved way. I have a bit of a grudge against the newer canon for retconning her age, but if you have an idea that plays with the bigger age gap, go for it, as long as he's an adult when it starts.

DC Comics

• Dinah Lance/Oliver Queen/Hal Jordan

I'm sorry, I read the Green Lantern/Green Arrow omnibus to get context on Roy’s drug problem and came out thinking “dang, the 70s accidentally implied these three are swinging together”. Anything you create doesn't have to take place during the Trek Across America, of course. I figure it starts out as Ollie/Dinah and then they bring Hal in, but who knows, maybe Dinah grabbed them both from the start. Or maybe they bonded over their love for Roy. It's whatever. I also have a couple ship memes for them as well. And just to snag a prompt from Tumblr, “don’t imagine hal, ollie, and dinah singing folk songs together, and definitely don’t imagine them singing for any of the arrowkids. it’s too cute i’m gonna die ”
