#platonic!jaydick

[rube-too-many-fandoms]

Time has passed and I now ship JayDick platonically!!! PROGRESS-

I’ve never been a pro shipper and I didn’t realize this was a problematic ship when I picked it up. After I found out I felt awful and guilty about it for a long time, but I’ve been able to change my perspective for the better.

Nothing against pro shipping or anti-pro shipping - but I will say that !ncest, pedoph!l!a and anything of the sort is unacceptable under any circumstances.

Just wanted to post this to clear the air a bit. I feel like I’d be lying if I just tried to cover up any evidence that I shipped them - chances are no one’s really gonna see this post anyway. I’m sorry to anyone I might’ve upset by shipping them (I never really posted about it anyway).

Let’s hope for no future incidents like this one—

[002yb]

I’m so in love with your nightwing dick and robin jason scenario ❤️❤️

I have this one in mind what if dick was the one who managed to save jason from joker, and he was so angry at bruce, feeling the surge of possessiveness that drives him to be selfish and keep jason to himself, because if bruce can’t keep the boy safe, who else is going to do it?

Featuring jaybin with occuring nightmare almost every night, dick being overly protective, and some cute tender moments in between ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶

Stories where Dick lets himself be something monstrous to save someone dear to him are so lovely, omg (send recs please). Just Dick making that conscious decision, fully aware of how cruel he can be in his passions and doing it anyway. Not influenced, not manipulated - just wrathful in his anguish. (´ ꒳ ` ✿)

Though really, anguish can't even begin to describe how horrifying it is to come across Jason in that warehouse. Broken, alone. To mutilate a child is a cruel and inhuman horror, but it's the way Jason breathes - shallow and wet, lungs rattling in his chest - that might be most haunting. That pain as Jason struggles to live, as he watches in resignation as a timer tick, tick, ticks down, resigned to a reality that no one chose him - from his first breath to his last -- those breaths are Dick's undoing, his becoming.

The heartache he would feel would be a forcibly compartmentalized thing. There's no time to focus on how slight this boy is, how thin or small - because there's a countdown and Dick won't let this cold place be Jason's tomb.

They make it outside, but not far enough to escape the force of the explosion they leave behind. It would burn, but Dick would wrap himself tight around Jason as they're tossed meters away, Jason held fierce to Dick's chest as they roll through the sand.

Dick's back would be burned, charred. Shrapnel would pierce him and it hurts, but he can bear it. Pain would cloud his gaze, but Dick would hear those pitiful breaths as Jason gasps; he moves forward. Blood dripping, leaving a trail in the sand that's blown away before long.

Getting to a hospital is a struggle, but they make it. They take Jason away from him and Dick rages until he's sedated for treatment, himself.

They're both stable by the time Bruce makes his appearance. When he tries to walk into Jason's room, Dick forces him back out. Shoving - shoving until Bruce is outside and Dick is the guard to the threshold of Jason's room.

The fight that follows is an ugly thing. Neither of them can understand each other, but that's nothing new. Bruce demands that Dick move so that he can see is son; Dick bites back that he lost the right when he chose Joker over Jason. And it doesn't fucking matter to Dick that the lives of hundreds of thousands was at stake because none of them were Jason.

Maybe it's unfair of Dick to be so angry, but disappointment stings and Bruce has disappointed him too many times. A good hero, but something so unintentionally cruel as a man that it staggers him. Dick feels betrayed. By Bruce. For Jason. It fucking hurts.

'He's my son.' Would be Bruce's final argument.

Only: 'He's not your son. And you're no one's father.'

Because a father, a dad - they wouldn't do this.

The hospital staff has to intervene when Bruce lashes out and Dick fights back. The both of them pull away once civilians involve themselves in their affairs.

When Dick goes to return to Jason though, Bruce refuses him. Calling out to the staff, 'He's not family.'

Once the initial surprise of the disowning (though legally, Dick knows there was nothing ever there) happens, Dick would just hurt. Betrayed for an entirely new reason. What follows would be rage.

Maybe somehow Alfred is there. And Alfred is so torn because Dick is family, but Jason is just on the other side of a too-thin door. Dick wouldn't hold the man back; he would ask him to stay with Jason - Dick will stay as near as he's able.

Then Kory and Roy would come around to meet Dick. And Dick could have an Outlaws era. :)

Or just as good - Dick reaching out to Deathstroke. And having something of a Renegade era that starts and ends with killing Joker (although...does it have to end?)

Joker dies by Dick's hand, either way.

Which only adds to the strife with Bruce, but it also endears Jason to him like none other. And then Jason choosing Dick because Dick chose Jason and it's a twisted love affair, platonic or romantic what have you. //3///

Which would lead into all of the above that you've written, anon! Which is all such a good vibe I've been thinking about this for days hahaha. But Dick being something more wicked and cruel, then coming back to Jason and being soft and reverent? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I'm weak to this sort of situation. ;3;

Also, it's become my MO to go off on a tangent and that somehow only vaguely relates to a scenario that's all sorts of inspiring LOL I'm so sorry. For soft tender moments though:

Dick being there as Jason goes to and progresses with physical therapy. No lazarus pits here, so Jason heals as his body allows. And Dick is all sorts of positive energy and encouragement and challenge to motivate Jason to push - one more step, one more - Dick having all the pride for how Jason fights. Dick being the support Jason needs on hard days. Omfg Jason running to Dick and jumping, wrapping himself around Dick and Dick being !! at all of it but then so thrilled as he spins Jason around because a;woiejfaoiwejfaiowjef;oawijegoaihrg

During that period of time when Bruce tries and fails to keep them away from each other!! Dick sneaking into the manor - into Jason's room. Holding Jason as he rests, exhausted because of the nightmares that plague him. Bruce looking in on them, a dark shadow. Only the shadow that Dick casts is that much darker, that much more consuming. The way Dick's gaze would shift from warm to an icy tundra from looking from Jason to Bruce - it would be jarring. A warning.

Jason seeing the burn scars for the first time. Jason sneaking up from behind Dick, brushing his fingertips featherlight over gnarled flesh and being overwhelmed. Jason resting his forehead to Dick's back. Wrapping his arms around him. Dick startling, then being so soft as he rests his arms over Jason's - still so small and strong and haunting.

edit: realization that I never originally wrote in all my ahhhhhhhh feelings over you enjoying the nightwing and jaybin content omggggggg!! this makes me so happy, anon. thank you so much. //U///

you're so real for this

thank you <3

[anondudeao3]

(Also, since I'm sharing random bits of creativity haha)

Please enjoy this prologue from a WIP

Disclaimer: this is simply because I cannot contain myself and I really love this and want desperately to share it haha. Do not be fooled into believing this is an indication the finished product may be coming soon. I truly have no idea. I have, like...over 50 WIPs for this account haha — I never know when any of them are going to be finished until it is upon me.

And...I beg of you. Stick with it, it's the end that I love so dearly, but the set up is necessary.

Jason is angry. 

Maybe it's more accurate to say Jason is anger. 

He's trying, he's really making an…effort to at least try to be more levelheaded and reasonable now that he's supposed to be a Bat again, but he's still always just filled with so much…rage. It flows under his skin, molten and burning and viscous like magma, just waiting to burst forth at the slightest opportunity, lurking there for the moment it can surge out and entomb the next unfortunate soul in his path in its inescapable, blistering clutches. 

He feels like a monster. 

He feels like his rage is an entire other being that forcibly wrestled the wheel out of his grasp, and yet he still feels he's entirely at fault for every action it takes in the driver's seat of his brain, because it's his. He wants those things, he wants to do those things, he feels those things, even if the smothered voice in the back of his head says it's wrong, that he'll regret it later (if he ever manages to take the wheel again. He wonders if that's even a possibility. It feels impossibly out of his grasp).

He's managed to achieve more of a balance lately, managed to unsmother that voice, and shove aside the rage sometimes even if he can't shove it back or down, but that means it's still always there, right there in the forefront of his mind, boiling his brain and frying all of his other emotions to ashes until only bitterness is left. 

He feels so elemental, like there's hardly anything left to make him up at all; only thin skin that barely contains a sea of magma roiling over an impenetrable wall of igneous rock around his heart, like he was almost made inside out. Isn't normal people's fire on the inside, instead of licking at the outside world through their very pores with every breath? Aren't their walls like a protective exoskeleton? Jason had failed at normal a long time ago, though, hadn't he.

There's a knock on Jason's safehouse door, and Jason fucking burns with hate at being interrupted. The little voice in his head tells him he's being unreasonable, that he's only been cleaning his weapons and allowing his thoughts to simmer through the shimmering heat-haze of his emotions that he doesn't know if he'll ever be able to get used to no matter how long he's been dealing with it. (He wonders if it's a useless endeavor to even think about trying to tune such a thing out some day. He wonders if it might even be dangerous. If his rage really is a separate entity by now, one that could maul him when he's no longer looking). 

It doesn't matter what the little voice says though, he feels it, he feels it.

It matters what the little voice says. He sets down the pistol, and goes to get the door.

Dick gives him a friendly smile and a bright, "Hey!" and Jason feels another surge of haterageresentment swell in him at the sight.

But he only says a curt, "Hi."

Dick steps forward, forcing Jason to either step back or blatantly block his entrance, inviting himself in as if it doesn't occur to him that he might not be naturally welcome in Jason's space. Like he might not just intrinsically belong here.

Jason sits with this swell of anger as well, as he shuts the door behind him while Dick makes himself quite at home on the ratty couch Jason had dragged in from an alleyway that had smelled like cigarette smoke and rotting leaves and old piss, as most Gotham alleyways are wont to, in Jason's experience. At least the sofa doesn't smell like that anymore. Mostly.

Dick still looks happy for some fucking reason, as Jason approaches him. Jason stops a good meter and a half away, still standing and now crossing his arms tightly over his chest, deciding it's probably better this way. Probably better to keep him out of striking range, out of the way of temptation, far enough that it might take more than a few seconds, at least, for any errant flows of lava to reach him.

"I'm really glad you're back, Jason," Dick says, looking unaccountably earnest, and Jason doesn't know quite what to do with that. His anger roils confusedly below the surface in choppy waves, trying to surge but continually falling back on itself as it has no idea what for. "I missed you. I'm so glad you're back with us, and I just— I feel like there's so much I did wrong before, and so much more I could have done, and I don't— I don't want to lose you again. I want— I understand if it's more…difficult and you can't jump in all at once, but I want to have the relationship we never got to have before; I want to be someone you trust this time, someone you can rely on. You're family, but that's just a word if you don't make anything of it. I want to. I want to be closer this time…if you'll let me."

Jason's insides have gone still. And he's still just as lost at sea.

"I…" Dick hesitantly adds. "I know I'm not alone either. Alfred would be absolutely over the moon to spend time with you." He pauses again. "Maybe we could…all have tea some time when Bruce isn't at the manor?"

Jason stares at him, because he doesn't know quite what else to do, and in that moment, Jason…feels something in him break. He feels like something soft and raw inside him is suddenly left exposed to the elements, and the utter vulnerability makes panic flicker through him, but Dick is still holding his gaze — eyes clear and open, and friendly smile lingering, like he means it. Like he means every bit of it. And everything about him whispers terrifying, with the way he's cracked Jason open; and everything about him whispers safe, like no matter what turns out to be underneath Jason's hard, igneous shell, he wouldn't flinch back, he would open his arms and shield him from the world himself.

"Okay," Jason manages, and Dick smiles like the sun, and Jason feels another flicker in his chest. Not fear this time though, and finally — finally — not anger or its bedmates bitterness and hatred either. Something…lighter. Softer. …Hopeful? Bright. Not the fires of rage, but a warm spring sun.

It feels odd that this even needs to be a post, but since a popular creator reblogged of one of my microfics and it subsequently gained traction (that creator has since removed the reblog because of this ↓ which is truly OK and completely their prerogative) But in that vein, I feel like I need to make an introduction and make something clear!

Hi! I’m Green! And on here we go by the old fandom rules of ship and let ship (Dl;DR, pro-ship or literally whatever variation you want to call it doesn’t matter to me)!

Seriously, let people write whatever they want. I for one, have specific triggers, so there are certain ships and content that I cannot, will not interact with. Ever. But does that mean that I’ll go out of my way to put down others who do for whatever reason? Nope. Never.

So let this serve as a heads up that on my blog you will find BatFam content. Both platonic and romantic.

Depending on what multiverse I’m writing for and depending on what ship I choose to explore, you will find a mix of content, ships, and relationship dynamics on this page. And for my part, I will be sure to tag appropriately.

I am currently in the midst of writing a YJ JayTim fic. It is tender, it is heartfelt, it is found family, and it makes my heart happy in the way that all writers have felt a time or two when they write something they’re immensely proud of. And I will not apologize for it.

Feel welcome to check it out below if you’re interested. And if it bothers you…? It takes no effort to hit that “no thanks” button and block me!

The Bird And The Hood

Rating: M

Ft: Jason Todd and Tim Drake, whom in my world, only one is adopted. (But that’s not to say that I in any way disapprove of other writers interpretations where they both are!)

Rep: Bisexual Tim Drake, Demisexual Jason Todd, Lesbian Stephanie Brown

TW: Violence (in line with canon), mentions of death, mental health

Fandom: Young Justice

Part 1 Complete: 19 chapters (~80,000 words)

Part 2: Updating (6/11/23)

Really, I am sorry for the spicy post. I’m generally a very conflict-shy person. But to all my other pro shippers out there, especially those of us out here who are pro-ship despite having our own “cannot interact ships/content” you’re awesome!

[maliciouslycreative]

Starting to think at least one of the writers for Gotham Knights was a jaydick stan. After growing up with Spider-Man there's no way I can hear "easy tiger" in a strictly platonic way.

[ten-ten31]

Jason Todd-12. How likely are you to seek out (or write) fanfiction for them.

YES!

Seriously though, Jay might not be my number one favourite character in this fandom, but he's up there with the best. Written well, he enriches every fic so much, so I always love to read him.

As for actively seeking out fics with him as the main character, I have to admit that's where it gets a bit tricky. XD

I love and have actively searched for B:WFA gen fics with him as the lead. I also thoroughly enjoy him and Steph as a platonic power couple causing mayhem there.

I'm also a JayDick shipper at times (thank you, Mikimoo!), so...

As for writing some myself: I have written a WFA one-shot called Curriculum that focuses on his and Damian. I may write more at some point.

So yes, I am very likely to seek out Jason Todd fanfic. 😁

Thank you so much for the ask 💜

[redbirdandbluebird23]

Commissions: Open!

Hey guys! I'm officially opening my fanfic commissions! I've been considering this for a little while because I'm struggling to find a job now I've finished my degree which means I've got plenty of time to write! My prices are based off what I can currently find other people are charging and I feel are pretty fair with the amount of work that goes into writing. I'll be using Ko-Fi for payments as it makes currency conversion much easier :)

Prices:

Prices will be £4 per 500 words (which converts to roughly $1 per 100 words). So:

500 words or less = £4

up to 1000 words = £8

up to 1500 words = £12

up to 2000 words = £16

and so on

How to commission:

Send me a message! This is so we can discuss word count/plot/characters/etc. before agreeing on a price

Once we've agreed on a price payment can be made through my Ko-Fi (link in bio)

I will then start working on the fic, obviously the word count will determine how long it will take

Once it is finished, I will send you a message and the fic will be posted on Ao3 (if you have an Ao3 account I will gift it to you :))

Please do not mention the fact it is a commission on Ao3 as this goes against their guidelines!

Things I will not write:

Underage

Non-con

Actual incest

Real Life People

Things I will write:

I am open to most ideas, provided they are for a fandom I am part of, but I have a history of writing reader insert fics (can give examples if you message me), and the ships I am most comfortable writing are JayDick, SladeJay and JayKyle. I am open to polyships depending on the characters. It also does not have to be limited to ships, I am happy to write platonic fics (with characters or reader insert). Basically, if you have an idea message me and I'll be able to tell you if it's something I feel like I'm able to write :)

[lemonandpie]

I saw you reblogged the ship ask game! I know you ship it but I still wanna hear your thoughts about Jaydick if you feel like sharing!

I thought I'd done Jaydick ages ago, but apparently I'm a liar

Ship It

What made you ship it?

Jason being the only one willing to cut through the bullshit. Specifically, fics where he's cutting through Dick's bullshit and point out when Dick's in need of help. It's why for me the things I love about romantic Jaydick and platonic Jason and Dick are the same-- I have a never ending hunger for Dick suffering for a long time before he finally breaks. And I love it even more when Jason is the only Bat who notices. Sure, he may go about it in the worst possible way, but there's so much power in the person who realizes you're in pain when no one else does.

And on the reverse, Dick is the one person in the world who looked at the Joker and decided to stop him. He is, in essence, the only person who met Jason on his terms and gave him what he needed. Even if it was reversed, even if Dick would have snapped under the weight of it, he gave Jason closure.

To me, Jaydick is the one ship where they actually could make each other better.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Versatility. I love fics where Jason is mean to Dick, horrible even. And it's the one ship where I sometimes read fics where Dick is horrible to Jay. I've made a post about this before, but you can really take their dynamic in so many different directions and have each one feel as accurate as the last.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

*reluctantly climbs onto podium* While I absolutely understand the arguments about Jaydick not counting as incest, I think that without it their dynamic is... kinda basic. Snarky asshole and angelic sweetheart butt heads but really love each other, with in built red-blue color coding to match. Make them brothers, bound by a line however thin that means they can never truly be uncut from each other? Give them the tension of both believing the other to be the favorite son, while feeling like the outcast? Make them overprotective in the way only fictional codependent siblings with romantic tension can? That is where it gets interesting

[002yb]

The intensity with which Damian stares Jason down is unnerving, to say the least.  The brat’s mom must have conditioned Jason somehow to have a compulsive need to react when Damian exhibits even the slightest levels of distress too, because the longer Jason tries to ignore him the closer he feels to breaking out in fucking hives.  And yeah, Jason’s aware he was the kid’s caretaker for awhile there.  Jason doesn’t remember it and Damian feels betrayed for it, but Jason is no one’s keeper now.  If the kid has a problem, he can ask.  It’s not like Damian is shy about speaking his mind.  Jason isn’t going to fucking coddle him like some doting, obedient little au pair.  

“What’s wrong?”

–well, Jason’s a liar.  

For all he’s achieved since getting home, being this little master’s nursemaid is how Jason is going to go out.  Doesn’t matter how fearsome and vicious Jason might be; how he accomplishes impossible feats–that’s the standard to be an Al Ghul wet nurse.

“You’ve been injured.” Damian tells him, and–ah.  The explanation brings startling clarity to Damian’s expression.  The brat is vexed, displeased.  Though Damian doesn’t talk about it much anymore, he remembers more than Jason does from their time together before.  Jason was his caretaker, his confidant; his guardian, his support.  To see Jason hurt is a slight to Damian, somehow.  He takes it personally; his disappointment is actually palpable.

Jason doesn’t recall getting injured though.  Overall it was a pretty droll night.

A frown pulls at his lips as he looks down, checking himself over.  No scratches, no scrapes; nary even a scuff along his boots.  When Jason meets Damian’s gaze again, the boy scowls at him and gestures pointedly to his own neck for reference.  Jason raises his hand to his neck, slowly mirroring the motion until his fingers brush a tender spot just above his collar.

Jason’s eyes widen, his hand clapping firm over the mark.

“I will tend to it.” Damian tells him, uncharacteristically sweet.  It’s both heartwarming and terrifying.  And–it must be another thing that was conditioned into him, because just thinking to refuse this boy has Jason’s nerves on edge.

So instead Jason dismisses with an easy, “It’s okay.  It’s fine.”

“It’s not.” Damian insists, and holy fuck of all the nights for Dick to be called in to cover a shift at the GCPD.  He’s the only one around that could successfully run interference right now.  As he should, given that this is all Dick’s fault.

Cass walking by is more happenstance than her reading distress in his body language and coming to rescue him.  Still, Jason forces eye contact and she slows to a stop in front of them both.  Damian gives her a fleeting glance before turning back to Jason.  Waiting.  Expectantly waiting.

Philosophically different as Cass and he are on a handful of key moral issues, they’re not on bad terms.  That’s what Jason thought, at least.  For all her insight and empathy she really misses the fucking mark this time though.  Cass looks at Jason, then to Damian.  Sees concern and confusion and compassionately diffuses the situation with a clear, “Not hurt.”  Which, awesome.  Great.  A big sigh of relief for Jason, but then Cass smiles a bit and adds on an entirely unnecessary explanation of, “Hickey.”

From across the cave, all the way from the damn Batcomputer, Bruce visibly perks up in his chair.

“Hickey?” Damian asks.

Cass nods and helpfully explains, “Suck mark.”

She says it clinically, like it’s no big deal.  Which it isn’t, but Jason’s cheeks still flush with embarrassment.  A low whine pulls from his throat because what the fuck, Cass?  She just offers him a nod as if to say, ‘you’re welcome,’ and Jason just–he’s never coming back from this.

Damian looks up at him with open disdain and disappointment, but before the little brat can fire off a biting remark about Jason’s fucking ‘promiscuity’, Bruce swivels slowly in his chair to turn and face them.  The stare down Bruce levels him with is endlessly more unnerving than when Damian did it.  Unlike with Damian though, Jason’s not going to back down here.  Just as slowly, Jason turns to challenge Bruce, staring him down just as hard.

It’s subconscious how Jason pouts about it.  Who wouldn’t though?  His pseudo-siblings just ousted him to daddy dearest.

“You’re seeing someone.” Bruce states, carefully neutral.  Jason realizes the man isn’t even looking at him–his eyes are trained to where the hickey would be visible were it not for Jason keeping himself modest.

Jason’s cheeks are still flushed with color.  He’s aware he’s not intimidating in the least right now, but he still grumbles and gripes, “Yeah.  Don’t be weird about it.”

Bruce barrels on with single-minded purpose, intent on being weird about it:  “Who is it?”

Jason huffs and lets his modesty die for the sake of crossing his arms over his chest and haughtily cutting his chin to the side, averting his gaze.  Petulantly, he says, “Not telling.”

Not one to be deterred, Bruce calls out with a hail mary of, “Tim–” that’s promptly returned with a bland, ‘Nope.  Not getting involved.’  It’s a refusal that effectively takes the wind from Bruce’s sails and Jason basks in that.  Smugness makes his lips curl as Bruce zeroes in on the suck mark, on the defilement to his degenerate little troublemaker.

It’s a sense of empowerment that quickly dies once Jason’s attention is returned to Damian, to that open look of displeasure over Jason parading himself around like a harlot.  For a brief second Jason feels cowed, but then he remembers he’s a grown ass man beholden to no one and scowls.  He pulls up the collar of his shirt and petulantly grumbles, “Don’t judge me, brat.”

So purity culture is stupid, and you've happily said that people can ship whatever they want, but I'm also curious about what *your* opinions are on JayDick?

I don't ship it.

Why don’t you ship it?

Incest is a squick for me, my mileage varies but in this case I only see their dynamic in a platonic sense.

What would have made you like it?

Hmm, probably them not being related in the source material. Or at least my first introduction to them not being in a brotherly dynamic.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

I think it's a fascinating dynamic between two people with such similar and yet such different worldviews. It's of course got that 'enemies/rivals' flavor that I enjoy, and aspects of protectiveness/possessiveness that I love exploring in a platonic sense can easily also be explored in a romantic sense.

REPOST. DON'T REBLOG

What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?

Oh hell. Let me see if I can remember all of them Stucky, Wnterhawk, Frosthawk [which I have accepted will never happen but I can dream dammit], Loki/Sigyn [HE LOVES HIS WIFE], Jaydick[any flavor; platonic or romantic], Dick/Babs, Dick/Roy, Remy/Rogue, Hyuroi, Hughes/Gracia[this man loves his wife okay], and the others either don't have an OTP because I haven't found one I like or they're OCs whose partner is another OC and therefore kinda pointless to list here XD

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

I'll try anything once. I'm a sucker for soulmate AUs, I'm great with deep platonic bonds -points at both Jaydick and Stucky-, gimme the romance, gimme FWB, just...-grabby hands- ship ALL THE THINGS Haven't ever really dabbled in toxic or hateships, but I would not be opposed to this with the right pairing and partner, either.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

This depends entirely on the relative ages involved, since I have two muses on here that are both over 2000 years old and at that point worrying about age gaps is really kinda pointless. That being said, I will not ship anything beyond purely romantic with muses below the age of 18 as a general rule, and that only because I have two muses with minor-aged verses [Dick and Conrad].

Are you selective when shipping?

To an extent; I ship chemistry above all, so there's no guarantee that - as an example - my Bucky is gonna be solidly romantically attracted to any given portrayal of Steve, or that I the writer am gonna click with the writer of any given Steve out there. Chemistry does not just mean chemistry of the characters; if our styles clash or we don't really mesh well then shipping's probably not gonna happen.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW? 

I tend to be very lenient here, but in general once the bits below the belt start getting named and/or there is full nudity I start tagging. Unless my partner starts tagging and/or readmore-ing first, in which case I follow my partner's lead and do the same.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

Oh lord. Okay. Arthur: Bruce ( @cxpedcrusxder ) Dick: Marcus ( @hacker-codeq ), Roy ( @thecreativeforge ), Clint ( @normaltothemax ), Jason ( @lazaruspitreborn , @messeduphood , potentially one or two others to be determined later) Kyle: None yet Loki: None yet Remy: Matt Murdock ( @defectivexfragmented ) Bucky: Clint ( @normaltothemax ) Corwin: None yet Clive: None yet Greyson: None yet Conrad: As my shameless self-insert I have a list I'd love to ship him with, but none have happened yet XD TJ: I used to ship him with Steve back in the day; currently none. Caspian: Michelle ( @misstisalir ); otherwise, none yet Hughes: None yet Judas: Gabriel ( @misstisalir ); otherwise, none yet Lucifer: also Gabriel XD [it's complicated] otherwise, none yet

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

Yes. Like I said earlier, even the 'obvious' ships [like Stucky] might not actually work out between us. Consent is always key. Also, it's more fun to let things develop naturally, that's how the best ships happen!

How often do you like to ship?

So long as there's chemistry, all the damn time

Are you multiship?

100% I have only ever considered limiting ships once and that was because the character involved had just been so built around his ship partner that playing him off anyone else was just weird. That is the exception to the rule here.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

-shrug?- Depends on what mood I'm in at the time and who happens to be loud and demanding XD

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

Uh. -looks at current DC obsession- do I have to just pick one? Probably Jaydick, but in all its permutations. It scratches that delightful Stucky itch of 'can be just very deeply platonic but also so goddamn romantic under the right circumstances' and I kinda love it. But also I've a softspot for Batcat when they're written right.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Hop in my inbox and ask; it's a more reliable way to get in touch with me than messenger at first XD Chances are I already ship it to some degree, or will start shipping it if I haven't already thought of it and can see the potential -sideeyes his Aquabat ship with Fox as evidence >w>-
