Art likes
I opted in to art and comics for all requests. I know that I like art of physical interactions between characters (struggling or cuddling or fierce or tender or sexy or smutty). Otherwise I am essentially a complete idiot about art. However, I am a fairly easy-to-please idiot.
As far as comics are concerned, I sometimes have difficulty following the storyline if the relationship between panels is obscure. I hope you go ahead and make them the way you love, but maybe include a kind of plotline-for-dummies note?
Opt-ins
These often appear in DNW lists. They aren't things I actively seek out but I am fine with them unless I say otherwise in DNWs for specific fandoms.- A/B/O
- Epidemic, illness, pandemic (but DNW Covid-19)
- Major character death or injury
- Readerfic, OCs
- Setting-change AUs
- Underage sex (down to age 15); adult/underage sex
- Vore
DNWs
Please don't include:
- Body shaming, fat hate, deliberate weight change
- Hopeless endings (hopeless beginnings and middles are fine, ambiguous endings are fine)
- Children under 15 having sex (OK to mention as part of a character's background)
- Nonsentient animal suffering (OK to mention briefly)
- Emetophilia (vomit OK in nonsexual context)
- Feeding, stuffing kinks (exception: monsters)
- Racism of humans against other humans (exception: magical or superpowered humans)
- Scat
These are OK in the background but I'd rather the story not focus on them:
- Children under 15
- Homophobia (period-typical attitudes, temporary internal ambivalence OK)
- Incompatible sexual orientations
- Infidelity or monogamy
- Pregnancy/childbirth of human women bearing human offspring
Fandom-specific Notes & Prompts
Fandom-specific notes & prompts are entirely optional.
Crossover: Ragnarok TV and MCU/Thor movies
- Laurits Seier/Magne Seier (Ragnarok TV) & Loki/Thor (MCU)
- My shameless dream is to mash together all the Lokis from all the fandom with Lokis, so here we are. Which MCU Loki/Thor? Surprise me! But a couple of possibilities that come to mind are:
- Loki/Thor who are the same age (in Asgardian terms) as Laurits/Magne
- Loki/Thor from some point in the Thor: Ragnarok film.
- I would love to see both pairs swing wildly in their opinions of the others (and in their opinions about each other) and maybe swap allegiances.
- It's fine with me if they swap pairings mid-fic, but I'd prefer that the ending have them back in their original pairs, or as a foursome.
- I have no preferences regarding top/bottom/dom/sub/switch in the pairs. I tend to headcanon Loki & Laurits as really liking to receive pain, but enjoying other kinks and sex too. But you don't have to write them that way.

Original Work
- I don't have specific prompts for most of these, but here are some general preferences and likes:
- Any of these can be PWP, but don't have to be.
- Any experience level, age, top/bottom/dom/sub preference is fine for all parties. Consensual, dubcon, or noncon sex/kink in any and all directions is fine. Feel free to bring in additional characters. Any gender / nonbinary / transgender characters are fine with me, even in groupings that specify gender.

Ragnarok (TV)
- I just finished this series and I'm really thirsty for anything I can get my hands on!
- Wants and thoughts:
- Yes please to ambivalent sex or fight/hate sex or ritual sex or "this is the only way we can think to comfort each other in the midst of this awfulness" sex.
- Prefer no one get perma-killed, but would be fine with Vidar coming back from the dead in any form—ghost? monster? haunter of dreams and hallucinations?
- Incest attitudes: ambivalence, shame, acceptance, shifting among them. (I do have a hard time seeing Magne as perfectly accepting from the get-go, but feel free to convince me otherwise.)
- We see the Jutuls' relationship from the outside, but I'd love to know how they see it on the inside. Are the four giants equal, of the same age, etc.? Or does their internal power structure resemble the nuclear family they pretend to be?
- I think Magne is inexperienced and not a dom, but otherwise any experience level and top/bottom/dom/sub/switch arrangement is fine; consensual, dubcon, or noncon sex/kink in any direction is fine. Laurits can identify as any gender you like and all of them can have any configuration of parts you want.
- Delve as much into the "official" mythology as you want and/or make something up.
- The idea of adding fucked up sex to the already deeply wrong, hungry, manipulative, codependent relationship between them makes me wriggle with glee.
- I'd love to see Fjor and Saxa plot against their "parents" and gossip about other people they're fucking/seducing while fucking/seducing each other. At least, during the times they're not trying to kill each other/throw the other out of the company/etc.
- I love the shifting relationship between Laurits and Magne, where so much is unspoken at first, and gradually they get more and more into each other's business. I see an underlying love bond that cannot be broken, and piles and piles of ambivalence and conflict and codependence on top of it. I love the part where Laurits is openly furious at Magne for killing his father and the part where he seems to let it go mostly...but does he?
