Ships & Dynamics

Multi-Shipping

Ships (as well as dynamics) are not Highlanders — there can be more than one. There is no cheating (unless specifically plotted and agreed upon ooc, and even then it is strictly with regards to NPCs and not other people's portrayals, as I am not interested in interacting in most group verses and/or AU scenarios involving multiple muns in a shared verse setting[^5]).

Chemistry

Chemistry is paramount when it comes to shipping and many dynamics. This can be achieved through in character interactions and/or out of character plotting and approved headcanons, but it still needs to exist.

Flirting ≠ Forced Shipping

While I'm always willing to test the waters with letting the characters have some flirtatious banter, progressing into anything remotely serious between them needs to have chemistry, whether it is built in and/or out of character.

Your muse can always flirt with mine, but that doesn't mean it will always be reciprocated (or that they even recognize they're being flirted with — some can be a bit oblivious on that front).

Dynamics

Platonic

Platonic dynamics are still chemistry based for progression — strangers, acquaintances, casual friends, coworkers, family, etc. are all baseline starting points for platonic dynamics, but the deeper the connection, the more important chemistry becomes.

Queerplatonic

Queerplatonic^[1] dynamics are welcome, and are dependent on chemistry in much the same way of romantic dynamics. This goes beyond being close friends and/or even best friends, and is very much akin to what you'd expect from romantic dynamics, but without the actual romance side of things.

Familial

Familial dynamics (whether by blood, by choice, by circumstance, found family, team as family, etc.) are welcome, and are chemistry based as everything else is. Non-canon children of any muse will require ooc discussion, though I am extremely selective when it comes to interacting with such muses (it's not to say I won't, but I've had some bad experiences with it in the past, so I'm much more picky about it now).

Antagonistic

Antagonistic dynamics (where the intention is for them to stay that way for the long term, as with villains and such) are welcome, but may require ooc discussion and plotting to establish boundaries and the like — especially if there's any sexual encounters involved in the dynamic.

Shipping

Romanic Ships

Romantic ships are strictly chemistry based — if the muses don't have chemistry, then a romantic ship isn't likely to develop. At least not without more plotting, and may require a soft reset of their interactions to try again.

Sexual Ships

Sexual ships — which may be independent of a romantic ship, in cases of more casual sexual dynamics — are also reliant on chemistry for actual progression, though this may be less necessary for more casual sexual encounters than for other sexual dynamics.

Smut

No Ship/Dynamic Required To Start — While I am open to writing smut, it is not my primary focus. But some of my muses are open to more casual sexual encounters than others, so it's not impossible to have smut be a part of the muses' dynamics without there being a need for anything beyond mutual agreement to test things out through in character interactions.
