SHIPPING INFO // Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog. REPOST. Don’t reblog.
What’s your OTP for your Muse?: We have some ships that are more emotionally developed than others and they are all different and special. The romantic partners that Tavis has become the most emotionally close to are: @sahlintalas @kaaras-adaar @inquisitorataashi and @elfrootemporium.
What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?: Everything. Angst, fluff, smut... pretty much anything. Shipping with Tavis isn’t actually easy, though more casual relationships are much easier. There will probably be plenty of angst if things get more serious. What I want in a ship is just a realistic relationship, depth and character growth between the two of them.
How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?: (Tavis is 30 during Inquisition) Oh man, that depends. Tavis absolutely will not sleep with anyone under 20 and that is being very generous. Honestly, I could see him having a hard time sleeping with anyone under 25. Despite his silliness, Tavis is very mature and experienced, he tends to see all young people as too emotionally fragile and naive. He is also averse to being with young people because he expects them to get attached quickly (from his experience) and he sees that as dangerous. So I’m going to say not under 23 generally (and that would still make him wary), absolutely no younger than 20 though. He would prefer them being closer to his age.
As for people older than him, I can’t say. He doesn’t care if people are older than him and I’m not sure how old they would have to be for him to feel awkward. No older than someone old enough to be his parent, I guess? Unless they are an ancient elf or something. (We did ship with Solas once, after all, and he is like 10000000 years old probably, rofl.) I honestly don’t know, Tavis isn’t picky as long as they aren’t too young. Age matters less than how they get on together.
Are you selective when shipping?: I ship chemistry. If it happens, it happens. It’s all up to the muses.
How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?: For threads, I put a nsfw tag and put it under the cut when things get more graphic, more than making out, hands wandering naughty places and whatnot. I tag VERY NSFW if there are genitals, penetration (that kind of stuff), graphic stuff in pics/gifs.
Who are other muses you ship your muse with?: The more developed ships are (as stated above): @sahlintalas @kaaras-adaar @elfrootemporium @inquisitorataashi but we love all of our ships. All different relationships and all important. There are people he is sexually involved with but a deeper ‘romance’ hasn’t really developed yet (not that it makes it any less important or any less important to him). Those are: @onthesirenscall (Isabela) @arcanistdagnarp (Dagna) @dragonagedmage
Does one have to ask to ship with you?: I don’t mind talking about the possibility, but no matter what I want Tavis will do as he does and feel as he does. So you don’t have to ask, because I will just tell you it might happen? It will happen based on what Tavis and your muse decide/ feel regardless of my feelings. I’ll also probably warn you that shipping with Tavis isn’t easy and tell you why.
I just have to note this again because that I get the feeling a lot of people think shipping will be easy with Tavis, because he is so flirtatious, but it isn’t at all. So I like to make that clear to people.
How often do you like to ship?: I love shipping. Actual ‘shipping’ (romance), as opposed to more casual relationships, is hard with Tavis though. Even though he is quite open sexually, Tavis is a slow burn romantically. Don’t expect him to whisper forevers in your muses ear for a long ass time, if he ever does. That doesn’t mean he never will, it just means it's uncertain. 1) he has deeply hidden emotional baggage. 2) attachment terrifies him 3) he is polyamorous and strictly poly, so the muse would have to be ok with that long term. We will never change his sexuality. 4) His lifestyle is solitary in essence, he is constantly on the move outside of the Inquisition, which makes it hard for him to become too close to people.
But I do love shipping, Tavis deserves to have love too, it is just a hard process to get there and it’s uncertain. But hey, if you like plenty of angst in shipping, you’ve come to the right place.
Are you multiship?: Yes. All ships will be in separate verses unless otherwise discussed.
Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?: No? I’m not ship obsessed, there is more to Tavis than romance and sex. I love shipping, but I love his friendships and other platonic relationships just as much. If all I did was shippy stuff, there would be no character growth. That said, even though Tavis is hard to ‘ship’ with, he is very sexual and flirtatious, so a lot of his interactions (unless they are young) tend to be... flirtatious off and on no matter what. That doesn’t necessarily mean a ship will happen, it means my muse is a flirtatious motherfucker.
Also, I don’t want just smut, Tavis isn’t a sex toy. I like to explore all facets of relationships.
What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?: We haven’t really shipped with canon muses other than a couple times, Solas (the romance isn’t active anymore) and with Dagna. But I do lowkey ship Dorian and Tavis. That said, if I start an rp with Dorian, I won’t expect or assume a ship will happen (as with all other muses). All of our current ships are oc’s though.
If this means in general in the fandom and not having to do with Tavis: my favorites are ZevranxWarden, MorriganxWarden, MerrilxHawke, FenrisxHawke, DorianxInquisitor and SolasxInquisitor.
Finally, how does one ship with you?: Idk? Lol Just don’t force things, let the muses do what they want to do. Other than that... I suppose I really enjoy when I’m able to go beyond fluff and smut. I love fluff and smut but I like being able to explore every area of a relationship. If we only do fluff and smut, I can tell you right now that the relationship will never develop into something more, because I know my muse well enough to know that. He needs to get to know people for actual romance to form.
