Mar. 16th, 2025 10:30 pmGeneral 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), degradation kink, daddy kink, ageplay, breeding kink

G Gundam
- Chibodee Crocket/Domon Kasshu
- Shirley Laine & Bunny Higgins & Cath Ronary & Janet Smith
- Argo Gulskii/Nastasha Zabigov
Oh, G Gundam, my love. I did a promo for this series here!
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 a manifesto! 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.)
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.
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.
House MD
- Lawrence Kutner/Chris Taub
My college self insisted on this nostalgia trip. They just had such an interesting odd-couple dynamic (with Taub as sort of a Defrosting Ice Queen, even) and I often wonder what could have been had Kutner not been written off in such a shocking way. Kutner being around and being a friend when Taub's marriage finally imploded could've lead to some good "stay with me as long as you need" shenanigans.
Yu-Gi-Oh DM
- Isis Ishtar and Malik Ishtar and Rishid Ishtar
- Hiroto Honda/Jonouchi Katsuya
Ah, old reliable HonJou. I feel like they're that couple where everyone else sees their feelings before they do. Shockingly natural friends to lovers progression with an extra side of idiot.
As for the Ishtars, 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 and adventures.
Teen Titans (animated series)
- Starfire/Red Star
- Cyborg and Raven
Starfire and Red Star were so bittersweet and lovely and I've shipped them since I was 16. They have such great sappy potential, with Starfire the fount of kindness that Red Star has never known, and them fiercely protecting each other.
Cyborg and Raven always had such a lovely understated dynamic that I wish we'd seen more of - but I suppose that's what fanfic is for! He's not always serious with her, but he knows when it's called for, and just... He's such a big brother.
