SHIPPING INFO !! ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG.
WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER?: duh, danjam aka dan/jacob ( @seavillain ). kit and i have written for so long that jacob has been a part of dan’s story since the very beginning; jacob develops daniel in a way that changes dan’s life completely after he dies and matures him even beyond death, which is a tough feat for someone so frozen emotionally. and even in instances where dan pursues other relationships, his first love with jacob is always in the back of his mind affecting how he treats his partner, and he’s always talking to jacob in his head (albeit a much nicer version). and for good reason! they get each other in the way that no one else does, no matter what happens they always want to be together in every verse (damn the consequences). they are literally halves of each other. honestly this is my otp above pretty much everything, i can’t imagine dan without jacob.
WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO WRITE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?: pretty much anything. dan is biromantic/bisexual and demisexual, so he could realistically be romantically involved with anyone. the only thing i don’t write is actual hardcore smut, despite how much dan uses sex as a tactic, but i write leadups and flirting and such because dan loves that.
HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?: since dan is 100+ years old and non-human this doesnt apply. the closest thing i’d say is i dont ship him with underage muses or like. extremely old haggard characters, because he’s very vain and very much bases attraction on appearance and power levels. but he’s been shipped with immortals and such so as long as its not underage or a weird dynamic like that its fine.
ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?: for danny, i have to be. i don’t like to stick relationships in “romantic” or “platonic” categories, and to me the best interaction is the one where you’re never really sure what it is, or it goes deeper than either category and bounces back and forth. but dan is very, very picky with those he considers “his” so i don’t ship with just anyone, even just platonically.
HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NS/FW?: usually as soon as bottoms come off and genitalia is out. kissing, groping, etc is fine to me, but once genitals are exposed involved, i get a little grossed out and like to fade to black or timeskip. allusions and brief references are fine but explicitness that could be sold as erotica is too much for me and feels invasive. daniel wouldnt want me to see that!!
WHO ARE THE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?: @seavillain with jacob as dan’s first and most important love, @carvedbones as political partners feat. some hero worship on dans part, @revulsicn with kisa in our vampire au, and some others im probably forgetting adfsaf
DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?: unfortunately dan is not a sentient being on his own (yet) so yes, you do have to ask otherwise i will treat the interaction as platonic! its .. really hard for me to express if i wanna ship something due to rejection dysphoria unfortunately, also dan being so gross makes me afraid to violate someones boundaries.
ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?: i should be ship more-or-less with dan but there are tons of cool dynamics i like with him so /shrug emoji? i just like the ships i like! i try not to get too wild but i enjoy a good dynamic.
ARE YOU MULTISHIP?: of course!! dan outlives most of his lovers so .. its kind of necessary, as he’s not a solitary creature at all and needs constant attention and affection.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?: i’m fandomless so this doesnt really apply!
FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?: 1) ask!! and 2) have a good dynamic for us to ship that makes sense for someone as prickly/reserved/emotionally hostile as daniel, whether thats something we’re already rping or something you have in mind. i dont mind shipping so long as everyone involved knows what daniel is and how he will function. he is not nice! he will not be soft to your character. its his way.
