✧ GENERAL NOTES.

AVAILABILITY
Time zone is GMT+1/2 depending on DST, and I usually tag back once a day to every couple of days, mostly in the evenings. Feel free to nudge me if it's been longer than two weeks and there's a thread you'd like to continue! Sometimes I forget or a notif gets lost to the void.

TAGGING STYLE
I prefer brackets & present tense tbh. I like to write meatier tags with lots of introspection, though tag length depends on the context of the thread because I'm not going to write three paragraphs if all he's doing is eating a shawarma wrap. No pressure to match though! I'm not fussed about tag length as long as I have something to work with.

CONTACT
PM this account. Discord is available upon request; I prefer that initial plotting is done on Dreamwidth, but once we have a thread going you're welcome to ask for it.

SHIPPING PREFERENCES
I mainly ship him with Kaveh, but I'm open to others with the caveat that he'll have some unrequited feelings for Kaveh no matter who else he's with because I legitimately can't see him not having Feelings™. While I won't focus heavily on this since that won't be enjoyable for the person I'm playing with, it'll affect how he might approach a relationship. M/M, M/F, and M/* are all fine with me and I'm open to pretty much anything with potential chemistry, so don't be afraid to approach me if you have something in mind! It doesn't matter if they've never interacted before, I love rarepairs and exploring dynamics we didn't get to see in the game.

SMUT
I'm always down for smut. Player is 30+ and I headcanon Althaitham to be around 26-27.

OTHER
As a head's up, I started this game during 3.6 and while I'm caught up with the main story, haven't done every world and character quest yet, nor am I familiar with events that ran prior to Parade of Providence (I will watch those on Youtube eventually). Dragonspine isn't even lit up on my map. 🚶‍♀️ I'm mostly familiar with the lore thanks to the wiki but I'm far from an expert, so feel free to nudge me if I make a mistake anywhere! Jfc why is there so much lore tucked away into the artifact flavor text

Also, if it matters for some reason I'll default to Lumine as the traveler for offscreen NPC purposes unless I'm threading with an Aether or if you have a preference.

✧ OOC PERMISSIONS.

BACKTAGGING
Please. I cannot boomerang and I'm usually asleep during American prime time so I prefer to play with people who are okay with extensive backtagging! I'm happy to keep a thread going forever as long as there's mutual interest and it doesn't consistently take a month or longer to get a tag back.

FOURTH WALLING
No.

THREAD HOPPING
Go ahead if it's a silly meme or something, but for anything serious I'm gonna say no unless it's been discussed with all parties first.

MIND READING
Yes if you play Nahida, otherwise ask me beforehand!

SENSITIVE SUBJECTS
I dislike graphic descriptions of eye gore and would prefer to avoid it, but otherwise I'm not easily squicked.

✧ IC PERMISSIONS.

PHYSICAL AFFECTION
Go ahead. How he'll react depends on the context and how close he is to the other character, but in most cases he'll probably either disengage immediately or begrudgingly tolerate it unless the other character is being too touchy.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE
Minor injuries are fine without prior discussion, but run anything worse than that by me first! For actual fight scenes, I prefer to handwave and segue into a time skip after a few tags instead of threading out the whole thing because I'm terrible at writing fights.

FLIRTING
Go ahead and try, just know that he probably won't reciprocate.

DEATH
Talk to me first.
