seinmit on ao3.

I'm always happy to receive art treats, even if I don't request it specifically. I make it a personal rule to write art-specific prompts if I request art, and sometimes I don't have time to do two sets of prompts for the same requests. But if you're inspired by my non-tailored prompts, I'd love to see your work!

General Likes

Dramatic, action-heavy plots full of badasses
Angst and heightened drama
H/C and whump
Emotional growth and self-actualization
Recovery from trauma
Revealing dark secrets
Struggling with duty and Terrible Purpose
Philosophical complexity and big ideas; fic with a strong conceptual theme
A deep sense of place, whether that be from world-building or historical research
Grappling with political quandaries without a conclusion and full of complexity; coming away from a fic with the sense there are no perfect answers.
Formal experiments: different tenses, documentation styles, nonlinear storytelling, drabble series.
Fannish "magical realism" tropes/universes, especially when played straight, with world building: A/B/O, D/s verses, soul bonds, soul-marks, body swap, time loops, etc

Shippy Likes

Us-against-the-world dynamics and co-dependency; Characters being the most important people in each other’s emotional life, whether from love or hate; Characters tearing the world apart for the sake of their lover; unhealthy levels of possessiveness
Mpreg and pregnancy, done either for angst or fluff; mpreg in a universe without normal mpreg; mpreg played as body horror; surprise pregnancies greeted with joy; awe at pregnant partner; Male omega parents being referred to as mothers and female alpha parents being referred to as fathers.
Coming out with a socially unacceptable relationship, facing social consequences and stigma; the ostracization is worth it because of love
Outsider POV; the slow realization that couple is a couple and what that changes about the perceived dynamic.
Rescuing one’s lover from danger.
Quiet intimacy—knowing one’s lover better than anyone else in the world does; domestic comfort and creating a life for each other; close-contact revealing conflicts that previously hadn’t come up; discovering new things about the person you know best
lovers solving problems together; badasses doing badass things together; comrades in arms and comrades in bed
hate-ships and enemy-mine; Sex not solving problems; sex creating problems; unsolvable personality and politics conflicts; bad behavior as a form of flirting

Smut Likes

porn with feelings; praise kink; kink discovery
rough sex; hair pulling; insufficient lube/prep; quickies; marathon sex until it hurts
dirty talk, especially demeaning or condescending (even if it is done with affection). "fuck hole" (and any variant of hole). Vaguely feminizing dirty talk, even if that's the only feminization involved. "Cunt." Accusations of sluttiness, laughter about how easily they're giving it up.
D/s; restraints; characters getting off on their own submission; humiliation, loving or otherwise; objectification; feminization
breeding and impregnation kink (with or without possible actual pregnancy
comeplay; felching and playing with a comed-in hole; letting come dry on the body; rubbing it in; animalistic scent marking
penetration; being so full it hurts but loving it; DP; object insertion; gaping
knotting, heat sex, overwhelming desperation
xeno/non-human sex; tentacles; being chemically aroused by an alien. Full-shift werewolf sex.
bestiality, consensual or non. Especially with canids. (Mammals generally are good, non-mammals are less my thing.)
mental manipulation; arousal that cannot be controlled or contained; sex-addiction
24/7 D/s, TPE, free use. Especially when enthusiastically wanted by the sub.
ritualistic sex; religious ritual sex; sex-magic
public sex; semi-public sex; unremarked upon public sex; secret public sex.

Pregnancy Likes

Male characters being secure in their gender identity but finding joy and comfort in specifically being “mom”/being in the “feminine” role.
Complicated feelings about unplanned pregnancy, including discussion of abortion. Self-destructive behavior specifically because of the pregnancy. Punishing self/fetus for whatever fucked-up internal reasons apply
Fertility issues, miscarriages, angst about wanting to be pregnant. This is particularly good when the character is in some sense ambivalent about their ability to get pregnant (e.g, if they got the requisite parts through noncon medical experimentation.)
Mpreg as abnormal, only possible because of non-con medical experimentation, magic, etc. In an A/B/O universe, I especially like when there has been some sort of forced designation change in for the purposes of pregnancy.
Being “bred” for one’s genes/superpowers. Coopting that ability for self-determination, even if the bad guys were the reason.
Bodies changing, softening, spreading, getting sensitive, tingling, hurting—basically any specific body changes. I love unpleasant pregnancy symptoms, too.
Over-investing in pregnancy/baby as the hope for the future...and that going badly, because even if you’re pregnant, you’re still you.
Body worship by partner that is framed in terms of seeing what is happening to the partner because of the baby, regardless of whether or not the baby was their’s. Fetishizing the ability to get pregnant and impregnating them. Getting off on fertility/virility.
This is a weird one to phrase, but bodily fluids as Powerful—this applies to both lactation and come, both of them are liquids that Do Things (feed baby and make baby respectively) and leaning into that is hot.
Painful or drawn out births. Medical emergencies. Really, really badly timed births. Getting hurt while pregnant. Anal births.

Darkfic/Horror-y Likes

kidnapping, torture, one’s fate being outside of your control
unspeakable power, eldritch or godly or similar
self-sacrifice for partner; watching your partner sacrificing themselves for you.
existential horror; mindbreak; being totally broken down and accepting one’s status as an object; grooming, manipulation, gaslighting
sinister authority figures taking advantage of power
bad ends, bittersweet ends, hopeful ends, as long as there is some sort of arc to the fic.
horror that occurs after some sort of reveal--someone wasn't who they seemed or something was radically distorted.
ghost stories and urban legends; spooky forests and abandoned ruins; murderous creatures and haunted houses. Creepy rural locations and places a little "outside" the normal sphere. Smelling something wrong in the psychosphere.
the dangers of ambition, finding out that there are things more important than knowledge and power
madness, self-mutiliation, orgiastic rituals, canibalism.

Art Likes

General Art Likes

In traditional media (and digital media that's reflecting it): brushstrokes, the uneven edges of watercolor, smudging out of graphite--the things that show hands have touched this art. Watercolor and the things it is good at--which can be in other media! Specifically: translucent colors, granulated colors, and dreamy washes.
Stark, super clean digital media, too, really clean linework. Inking that uses a variety of weights and widths. Really dark & stark inking that draws a harsh contrast with color or white.
Completely uninked drawings, where color blocks out the figure by itself. Inking with colors instead of black.
Limited color palettes, strange color palettes. Using unusual hues for shadows and highlights. Colors picked for mood more than realism.
Monochromatic pieces, monochrome except for one accent color.
Odd and cartooney proportions. Characters with faces that are much more about conveying their emotion than any actual human anatomy.
For more realistic styles: eyes and faces and all the emotion they can convey--give me big, beseeching eyes and I'll always be happy.
Poses with a lot of movement, bodies intertwined with one another, things ripping or moving.
an edge of humor, incongruous details, little things that you only notice on a second glance.
highly conceptually art, art that needs explanation. Abstract art.

Porny Art Likes

Any level of pornographicness--throbbing cocks to suggestive poses.
fluids--sweat, come, glistening pussys
Desperation in expressions. Super flushed faces.
Body hair and physical imperfections.
poses that bring home power disparities and vulnerability. Holding the throat, kneeling, pain.

Vid Likes

Music Likes

In my own time, I mostly listen to hip hop, but I like all sorts of music. I love music with a good beat and interesting lyrics. Most of my favorites are in a minor key and have a dark, distorted element to them. In terms of music to vid, I love incongruous song choices and finding new music through vids. I like when the lyrics make sense of the video and reveal something interesting about the themes/characters involved. Sometimes when music is a little bit too on the nose it can be a bit much for me--I like unexpected choices.

Hip-hop can be really tricky to vid to, but if you can pull it off I'll be so delighted.

Random artists that I'd love to see in a vid, if any of them inspire you: Zeal & Ardor, XTC, Barns Courtney, BROCKHAMPTON.

If you're curious about my taste in music, here are a few illustrative spotify playlists. You shouldn't feel at all bound by them--I love vids in part because I get to discover some new music, but these are a good snapshot of my taste.

Personal to me: Spotify-created "On Repeat, Release Radar.

Fandom related playlists I like and/or made: bucky barnes sad boi hour, end of the line | stucky, favorite son | steve rogers

Playlists I just really reliably like: Spilled Ink, Anti-Pop, Lorem, Internet People, Swagger, Southern Gothic.

Vid Likes

Shippy vids, character vids, thematic vids
vids that reveal new, interesting things and recontextualize canon.
tight cutting and a strong use of the beat.
surprising images
additional material cut within the canon.

I don't generally like heavy effects or color-correction, but I've liked that in the past so it isn't a hard no. I've liked vids that both use dialogue and don't, but I probably prefer those that don't in general. I like vids that have narrative and those that are just thematically linked images, but I prefer there to be some sort of arc.

Opt-Ins

Basically anything that is not a DNW I am willing and happy to receive, but I wanted to make a specific point to opt-in to the following things. This list should not, in any way, be taken as a "please write me this" list, but if you find yourself writing a fic that includes elements of any of the following, you can soothe your mind with this. The only thing I ask is that you warn/tag liberally.

In-narrative racism/homophobia/sexism/biphobia/classism/ableism etc. You shouldn't feel the need to go out of your way to put it in, but if it makes sense for the story or the character, feel free to include it. That includes slurs, upsetting imagery, and anything of that nature.
Any lyrics in vids are fine (including no vocals, explicit language, and slurs). Any music genre is fine.
Gore, non-con, generally upsetting things about consent and agency, and torture.
Incest and underage, as appropriate for the request
Cannibalism, necrophilia, bestiality as appropriate for the fic, character, and request
Character death, physical and mental illnesses, and permanent disability.
Body image issues, eating disorders, self-harm, suicide and suicide attempts.
Any and all "magical realism" tropes, whether or not they fit the canon: time travel, soul bonds, soul mates.
Past relationships and unrequested canon and non-canon ships.
Infidelity, breakup fic, poly among requested characters (unless otherwise specified.
