Hello!
I go by Medusa, she/her, antimony_medusa on Ao3 or antimony-medusa on tumblr. I hope you are having an excellent exchange, and thank you for taking on this gift, as either your main or one of several! I have attempted to organise my thoughts in this letter, because this exchange is making me vibrate like a poorly-balanced set of kitchen beaters, so I hope this helps. Also I have tried to offer prompts for each fandom but honestly if you see a prompt I offered in a different fandom and you're like "this is so [other fandom] to me" then like go for it. I'm just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.
I also apologize for the HTML in this letter. I have done my best but my best involves a lot of shouting at the screen about why the cut tag has migrated AGAIN.
DNW
This is a major exchange, so hopefully everyone’s on the same page with this, but just in case it isn’t or I hit your specific likes: nothing in my DNW is a value judgement, it’s just a list of specific triggers and squicks and preferences within the specific fandoms I’m operating in. If you love cannibalism fic, you go on with your bad self. Just not for me, in this exchange, please. Awesome, thank you.
Within the DNW, if the specifics of a prompt specify something that contradicts the DNW– for example MCD is on my DNW, but some of the prompt include MCD in alternate timelines or backstory–I assume the prompt to take priority.. I have a general DNW here, and have listed some fandom-specific DNWs where appropriate. I assume that if a thing comes up significantly in canon it’s okay to include with the characters who have it as a strong part of their narrative– I’d prefer not grief stories in general but c!phil is pretty informed by grief in canon– and have specified any exceptions to that in fandoms-specific DNWs
DNW: Incest | Hand trauma | Romantic/sexual versions of a ship I requested a gen version of | Grief narratives except canon instances referenced in backstory | Cancer/Chemotherapy/Terminal Illness | Childhood Cancer/Child death/Artificially shortened or magically shortened lifespan | Covid | MCD except in canon instances or referenced in backstory, and still, it's a world with revival, I'd prefer if we end with some form of the person back | Suicide (self sacrifice okay) | Magical cure of disability or illness (assistive coping techniques or devices okay) | Cannibalism except canon backstory | Infertility/Miscarriage/Abortion | Grooming (the predatory behaviour, hair brushing is fine) | Hate crimes/Homophobia/Transphobia/Aphobia | Death of a parent | Hurt No Comfort (bittersweeet/open endings okay) | Being Eaten Alive | Illness or poison leading to death that involves losing your cognitive function | Pirate AUs | Wild West AUs | anarchists repeating conservative talking points | on-screen Underage | Hard Gore or Body Horror, by that I mean something that requires an e rating | Explicit on-screen noncon

General Likes
Mostly I just love my guys, and am excited by the mediums and the prompts, but if you’re looking to fill out the details, here are some things I like!
General Likes: Comedy | Secret Identity/Identity Porn | Worldbuilding | Ride or Die friendships | Translation issues/cultural miscommunications (resolved happily) | Non-linear, epistilatory, or otherwise pieces playing with form | Competence porn | Neurodiverse characters or headcanons, especially autism. Any sort of disability headcanons really. | Trains and Dragons | Kidfic | Aro Characters/Headcanons | QPRs and other relationship anarchy | Relationships Founded On Mutual Respect | Arranged Marriages | Dehumanization and Recovery | Hurt/Comfort | Domesticity as Character Study
Smut Likes (not great at defining this so feel free to just follow your bliss as long as it doesn't show up in my DNW): Having fun/laughter in the bedroom | D/S dynamics | explicit consent in a specifically autistic way is always fun | visible affection | Multiple orgasms leaving characters exhausted | intense scenes followed by explicit aftercare | Bondage, both formal and spur-of-the-moment | No strong opinions on top/bottom roles for anyone– switch is fine, strict roles is fine | Pregnancy/Breeding
Medium Notes
It looks like the Automatic App doesn't include all the medium tags, so I'm just listing them here. I'm good with these for any fandom you'd like to apply them to!

DSMP
DSMP:
Be prepared, you’re gonna see a lot of Technoblade. It’s fine, I just like the funny block man who is very good at things. I like all my block men a normal amount. (she is lying.)
Anyways within the DSMP setting, I’m generally more fond of AUs (cause the canon has so much sadness in it and people are canonically in some Tense relationship statuses). However if canon-compliant is where your heart is, go for it. I have listed a little bit of what draws me to each of the relationships requested, and then any specifics about the freeforms requested.
Fandom-specific DNW: Any reference to CC!techno’s death | Any reference to a death for C!Techno – butcher’s army execution is okay, but as far as I’m concerned he met the Syndicate in the End | bad dad phil or abusive family dynamics | techno as phil's son | NSFW/Anything with an E rating. | bio-related 4/4 SBI | Tommy-centric
Technoblade & Philza (Emduo):
Technoblade, my heart forever. I love the funny man, and how smart and competent he is, and his loyalties both to people and principles. He’s an anarchist and he cares so much, and he’s giving gifts to his friends. I love how he never takes anything seriously, and at the same time he’s very practical, and did I mention the funny?
Philza my favourite old man! He cares about people so much and he’s never processed an emotion in his life! He builds! He’s wearing an ancient outfit like nobody on the server! He’s so skrunkly! He’s SO OLD, he's seen SO MUCH, and he's still going. He has a house next to his best friend!
Emduo is just important to me. Undying fealty? Battle buddies? Just the ease of friendship with someone you know so well-- maybe you knew them for centuries, maybe you just met and clicked? Either way you are just so completely comfortable together and you care about each other so much.
Syndicate:
Book club! They are friends— they are four people who have been so battered by the world, and they found community with each other. And they're choosing community and to trust and to try again after betrayals— and also they take down tyrants (cyberknife arc is Real To Me) and break into prisons. What's not to love?
Some prompts for DSMP:
If you to take any of the medium tags and just play with the relationships that is awesome, but here are some specific prompts as well. I've tried to pick prompts that could work with either relationship, and I'm specifying if I think it's only one or the other.
- Accidental time travel into combat zone: (this is mostly an emduo one but could work with syndicate too) You KNOW these people have wars in their pasts– back into backstory or even back before they met?
- Character being rescued can’t quite believe rescuer is real and not a fakeout/hallucination: 😭 it's a story that's good every time.
- Character Who Believes They'll Be Tortured/Killed Begs Mercy For Another: Just fuck me up, though please happy ending.
- Comes from alternate timeline where everyone died: This is one of my MCD is okay IF in this one– this is the one where like, techno could have died (because we get a new techno), or maybe there are two technos now. Or two phils. Mutliple Ranboos. But now they are FRIENDS. Can you tell I love finding trust and connection?
- Dehumanized and Abused Character is Shown Genuine Love and Affection: HUMAN WEAPON RECOVERY MY BELOVED.
- A Discovers the Extent of De-Aged B's Tragic Backstory While B Is De-Aged: I know kidfic is a tall order but what if we learn more about fighting rings past or horrible cruel cities or lonliness or or or, and also these traumatised kids get good food and a warm place to sleep. Hmmm I think maybe I like comfort from bad things.
- Time-displaced Character A finds that things are better in the future: Make Me A Happy Ending For My Guys (if you want)
- And hmm most of these are hurt/comfort so I will also say I am very open to soft domesticity and healing moments (love narratives around food-as-care), or fun with worldbuilding and minecraft culture (love video game mechanics made to work in the world)/
- Time for my most hail mary prompt here: I have thought for a long time that it would be cool if we did like a royalty au, but it's fae courts and all those cutthroat politics, but from the point of view of the people who actually work in the courts. So not that they're princes, that they're a guard and a cleric and a seneschal. Y'know? I think this would offer some FUN opportunities.
- The WB prompts: I would just love something delving into more Syndicate organization and missions. Do the Cyberknife conflict! From anyone's perspective— syndicate member or cyberknife! What are the politics like on this very factured server? Does the Syndicate do more with the prison? Do they have training arcs together? Do they have book club meetings? Do they go infilterate Las Nevadas? Give me a Syndicate mission, if you want!
SMPEarth
SMPEarth
Okay this one is a moonshot to even have in the tag set. 265 fics on the archive. But just in CASE there’s someone else who loves these guys…
My feelings about Emduo above also relates to Emduo in this setting: I love the sort of ease of best friendship they have, absolutely trusting each other to watch each other’s back and that the other person is going to be so terrifyingly competent. And in this setting, they’re co-emperors! Everybody is afraid of them! Phil just got nicknamed The Angel Of Death and boy does it seem fitting! Techno has social anxiety and everyone thinks he’s so cool! Phil has a shulker box of Air strikes! They fought a dragon on the moon! So many different types of fantasy empire vibes! Maybe space, you do you!
And I love the extended AE cast, once you include more than just the AEduo focus. They're *friends* and they fight together and they build an empire— and once again I'm drawn to that specific notion of badasses finding home in each other, joking and taking care and being friends. Hm. I would say that when it comes to OGsbi (phil + techno + wilbur), i'm fine with some world in which they're all allies and friends (because they were, at points!) or if you play up that conflict between the empire and newfoundland. Many options to c

Prompts:
If you to take any of the medium tags and just play with the relationships that is awesome, but here are some specific prompts as well. I've tried to pick prompts that could work with any relationship, and I'm specifying if I think it's only one or the other.
Okay so one of the things I love about SMPEarth is the change to go crazy with aus. A Space au with any of this cast, a fantasy au, something historical-- delve into worldbuilding and politics with any of these casts of characters and I'll be delighted.
On the more specific prompt/trope side, some fun ones I always like:
- accepting injury to protect someone: what are co-emperors FOR if not this.
- Big Damn Rescue (with comfort): Sometimes your guy got kidnapped and you gotta go break some heads.
- Captured and tortured together & doing their best to help each other through it: You know these guys would be more focused on trying to help each other than anything else.
- Character A shows up on Character B's doorstep because they didn't know where else to go: Okay so what if PREQUEL where they were NOT allies and they have to work together? Or lean into Newfoundland/AE conflict?
- Character taken prisoner; expects torture/humiliation; gets kind & honorable treatment: Another one where what IF they were enemies and THEN?
- Misunderstandings - Hurt character initially believes comforter is there to hurt them more: You can do so much with a kidnapped emperor or--
- Time Travel - Meeting younger version of loved one and finding them in a bad state: You KNOW these boys come with traumatic backstory.
- Character A has to beg to be allowed to take on character B's punishment instead: Messed up. I like it.
- Magically de-aged character receives comfort they were too proud to ask for as an adult
- king's health linked to kingdom's: Oh?
- Married for Tax Benefits/So You Can't Testify Against Someone in Court: I just think this could be very funny.
- Characters involuntarily soulbonded by authorities use soulbond to rebel against the authority? Eh? Eh?
And when it comes to worldbuilding tags just go stupid go crazy. I love an inhabited world for SMPEarth, make up some OC's, or I love diving into the wiki and doing thing with nations with names like "Bean Empire" and "kpop".
QSMP
QSMP
Now here is where I throw my net as wide as possible because it's QSMP and everything is legal now. Hit me. I'm good with mpreg, I'm good with kidfic, I'm good with QPR (love aro phil) I'm good with romance, I'm good with smut. Fight scenes? Canon-adjacent? AUs? Bring it on.
As you can tell, I'm a Phil main, but I really love Phil in his network of various relationships and what different people bring out of him, whether that's fatherhood with Chayanne, or care with Missa, or just finding Forever funny, etc.
Note that a bunch of times I've said "and then they kiss" for the meme (and because I think they would kiss well) but I want to say that I'm very fine with going Way Further Than Kissing just in this fandom I don't want to roll up and demand smut. Some of us are still getting used to hand holding. Basically I'm good with the whole spectrum of romance here from adorable hand-holding to e-rated.
Fandom-specific DNW: Bad Dad Phil or abusive family dynamics. | I would really prefer absolutely no references to CC!Techno or C!Techno's death but if you must, nothing more than the canon aspects of Phil telling stories about a beloved friend that's passed, nothing that dwells on that grief | No Technoblade as Philza's son
Forever/Missa/Phil: Okay so the stream where Forever and Missa were competing for Phil's hand made me go BRRRRRR. They love the bird man! They're both pumping themselves up! It's so fun! I'm fine with taking this dynamic as a threesome, or as one where Forever is left wailing sadly outside, but I'd prefer to not have Phil leave Missa for Forever. If forever's being invited inside, they're all there. And then they kiss.
Missa/Phil: Okay so I am aware of Missa's loonytoon noises and whimpering while running and I love him, but I would prefer that any Missa writing not lean too hard into the "wet cat" interpretation. Like, sometimes you have got to scream or whimper to get through it, but you DO get through it, right? I like my guys to not be fully pathetic or incompetnet, please. I love this specifically in like, them both being soft and having awkward earnest care for each other, and also respecting each other's skills in their various circles. Phil is so good at the game, but he doesn't see Missa as incompetent, he's an equal partner who is loved by him and their kid. Missa is so good at people! He's got a big heart! He's out here terraforming and persevering! Phil wants to keep him safe, but that's not because he views his government-assigned husband as inherently pathetic, it's because that's how Phil shows care for people he loves. And then they kiss Also there's a meme comic of like, Missa absoluely making out with Phil, and then there's a phil thought bubble that's like "platonic friends do this" as he's making out back, and if you wanted to make it funny I find that dynamic HILARIOUS. Phil: it's platonic. Missa: GOD I love motorboating his tits. Me: heheheheheh.
Etoiles/Phil: CODEBREAKERS. I coined that duo name on tumblr, thank you very much, and I'm proud of it. I just think some BAMF4BAMF is good for the soul, you know? And I love Etoiles immediate miette-like reaction to the slightest thing that Phil does to him— oh so you hate me? So you want me to die? You want everyone to die because I am not there to take care of them? You wish my destruction specifically? And Phil is like MATE CHILL I JUST MEANT I"M OUT OF COPPER BLOCKS and Etoiles is smug at him. And then they kiss
Forever/Phil: I'm good with this relationship being a fluffy thing where Forever has a crush and Phil is indulging him, AND I'm okay with it being a darker yandere obsession that Phil is trying to avoid, AND I’m good with a dynamic as we had in canon where Forever is just following Phil around like “you so cool and we’re married” and phil is like “m8 what”. Whatever speaks to you. The one thing is that I'd ask that you don't like, whump Phil so hard that he's pathetic sadboi. Can I conceive of a story where Forever has worn Phil down until he's a broken bird? Absolutely, and it slaps, but you've gotta convince me that Philza Minecraft, noted survivalist, has been broken. I wanna *earn* my way there. And I'm also good with fluffy adorableness too, or humour. I just think they are so fun together and they should kiss UPDATED AFTER LATEST POLITICAL STREAMS: so I've had this written for a while, but y'know as another element to throw into the mix, the conflict between President Forever and Known Anarchist Philza is very spicy to me. Forever insists that he's over Phil, but what if he wasn't? And what if they were having conflict over the prison? And then what if they kissed?
Family Dynamic including Eggs: Chayanne is someone who can be so older sibling coded, to me. Fluffy family dynamic— amazing. Something more angsty— also good but I will say that I'm pretty sensitive to themes like harm to children, child death, or terminal illness in children, so I would ask that anything that touches on that has an unequivocal happy ending. Yeah me being sensitive to these topics has made QSMP a fun ride, but I love the streamers and the eggs so much (Tallulah little drama angst queen who is so loved, Chayanne wanting to cook and protect people like his Tio Technoblade, they are SO loved), I'm here for the ride and just praying for a happy ending.
WB Prompts: Okay so do I think these interpretations are canon? I do not. Do I think that delving into the possibilities with them make my brain go brr? HELL YEAH. Phil clicked on the code and it had an egg nametag. The codes can pass for eggs. Death is refered to as another realm. In minecraft, there are multiple realms you can take portals to get through. Sleep is another realm. The eggs are vulnerable when they're dreaming. Juanafilippa died when she was dreaming and she came back. The federation can give you time with your dead kids, but only ten minutes. What the fuck is going on with death in this world? What is going on with the eggs? Are they even dragon eggs, are they codes? Are the codes eggs? A1????? Where were the eggs before they were the eggs??? Trump died of neglect but Tallulah lived for a week eating dirt? WHAT IS HAPPENING I'M GOING INSANE OVER HERE.
Prompts: If you want to take any of the medium tags and just play with the relationships that is awesome, or the likes, but here are some specific prompts as well. I've tried to pick prompts that could work with any relationship, and I'm specifying if I think it's only one or the other - BAMF Character A is hurt/sick and is still a BAMF-Character B provides comfort anyway: Probably would want Phil to be the badass hurt here, but you do you with whoever.
- Bodyswap--character's hidden or downplayed pain/illness is discovered because of bodyswap: You know how Phil has mentioned that his wings are fucked up? You know how it’s fun to give disabled headcanons to characters? I think they could have the chance to learn more about each other with a body swap.
- Character A escapes from captivity; Character B discovers extent of their injury: I think maybe Phil taken captive by the Federation, and he either escapes or is rescued and then someone takes care of him?
- Characters in Arranged Marriage Expect Hurt But Receive Kindness Instead: let’s go CRAZY with non-canon backstory and have them expect the marriage to be bad (bad rumours about a reaper or the angel of death?) and then it’s good instead. That would obviously work for phil and missa but feel free to throw anyone else into this backstory, maybe etoiles and phil are assigned together in this hypothetical backstory!
- A picnic in which Forever is forever trying to win over Phil, and phil is like No, and Forever is like :((((( okay, but then like, something else bad happens (his BBQ fails? Trips into the water? A bee?) and then Phil is like Sigh, okay, you can come put your head in my lap I guess, and Forever is all ^________^. Something sweet and Phil is indulging him.
- The federation is escalating the attacks, and Phil is run ragged, and Forever offers that Phil and the eggs can come stay with him, and he helps out with getting the kids to bed and is so good with the kids and Phil is just so grateful, and then well, Forever is so sad when Phil turns him down, shouldn’t he show his gratefulness a little more? Isn’t Forever such a nice guy? This is one where you can come up to the edge of the DNW, this is the creepy prompt, we can get into pressured/dubcon. Creepy stalker photo album of phil while he’s sleeping optional.
- Just straight up whump the bird man. Someone is trying to break him, Phil is not receptive to being broken. Maybe Someone breaks him out? Maybe he breaks himself out? But emphasis on the ouch here.
- Write out that Missa and Forever contest for Phil’s love! They try to win over their man. Make it dramatic and funny, end it however you like.
- Character A travels backward to fix love interest B's death and now on there are two of A. Maybe the QSMP should meet the colourza?
- I am literally always down for literally any arranged marriage trope you want to throw at me.
- First time they meet is at a BDSM club instead. I just think this could be funny.
- CODEBREAKER DUNGEON CRAWL AND THEN THEY KISS EVERYBODY CHEERED.
- prompts with the kids:
- Making Homemade Soup for a Sick Person - Chayanne cooking soup for a sick parent or friend!
- Comes from alternate timeline where everyone died - the nightmare was real and only one person made it through, and then they glitch into this world where everyone is okay.
- Hurt A is so out of it they initially don’t recognize B and assume they’re there to hurt them more: This is one where I think either Phil or Missa got nabbed by the federation and get rescued (chayanne is instrumental in the rescue), and then here’s the fear that they’re there to hurt them somehow or not really them.
- Wingfic - Character has to hide their wings; is found out when hurt/sick & can no longer hide them: Chayanne and/or Tallulay development of dragon wings! And they’re guilty about them for some reason, but gets comforted and told it’s okay.
Original Works
Original Work:
Okay can you tell I'm a sucker for arranged marriage or any sort of "well now we're in a weird situation, how do we navigate this?" This is one where the relationship is kind of the prompt, but I've tried to put in some notes about each one.
Desperate Superhero Whose Life is in Danger/Supervillain He Reluctantly Goes to for Help (OW):
Oh man I love this trope so much. Reluctant allies! Mutual respect! Sniping at each other but it turns out they understand you better than anyone else! Knowing someone else's fighting style like the back of your hand! And then they fuck about it! Or maybe just kiss maybe they're not there yet but Y'know.
Exasperated King/Kidnapped Princess Who Likes This New Kingdom Much Better (OW):
I think that the king should think he knows what's going on and have it all under control and then this princess he kidnapped is showing up RIGHT up and it's all very enriching frustrating for him. I'm good both with king/princess being peers in age or an age gap, but if you ARE going with an age gap I'd prefer princess to not be like, 18. Make her 21+ please.
Excentric Genius Detective/Her More Traditional Older Assistant (F/F) (OW)
Okay admitedly when I saw this one I was thinking femme holmes/watson as the dynamic but that isnt' quite it, but I'm also open to that. But just like— genius who is is both chafing at the restraints of what older assistant asks and also respects their skills and older assistant who is so frustrated but also awed by what detective can do— it's so crunchable.
Exiled Prince in Disguise/Prince of Enemy Country Who's Unwittingly Befriended Him (OW):
Hehehehehehehehe. Identity porn. The demands and responsiblities of the throne and wanting to escape that but also feeling duty. Complicated feelings about where you came from. It's all here.
Friendly Psionic/Stoic Warrior He Soulbonds With (MM) (OW)
Look. Especially if the soulbond was not planned and now you just have to DEAL with this person, who you're tied to on such a deep level, and find the good despite the exterior seeming off putting. It's good.
Hermit Witch of the Woods/Male Shapeshifter Who Keeps Turning Up Injured on Her Doorstep (OW)
I think a man who is a crow of a fox sometimes who knows where to go for help is just a great start to a romance.
Mage Healer/Broken Android Healing Doesn't Work On (OW)
It's about what happens when what you're FOR does not work on this person. You're FOR helping people, no matter what sort of complicated feelings you might have about this, and you can't help here. Or can you?
Male Human Galactic Emperor/Male Alien Galactic Emperor He Marries To End War (OW)
ARRANGED MARRIAGES SO GOOD? Culture clash? Learning to get along for the sake of your people and feeling each other out? Making it Work?
Male Supervillain with Day Job at a Coffee Shop/Tired Male Superhero In Need of Caffeine (OW)
Heheheheheheheh. Identity porn. Meeting each other in a new context. The horrors of working customer service.
New King/His Arranged Marriage Husbands (M/M+) (OW)
I just think that arranged marriages can be so—
Noblewoman Whose Hand Can Be Won in Marriage/Female Knight Fighting to Marry Her (OW)
A last-ditch effort to save the person you love, to prove that you're good enough, to save them and keep them close. Or who knows maybe they don't know each other before that, and this is their meetcute. It's just good.
Omega Farmer/Muscular Alpha Sex Slave He Mistakenly Purchases Instead of Hiring a Laborer (MM) (OW)
Okay so my tastes with this one absolutely tend more towards Comedy, because I just think this is a hilarious setup. He wanted someone to plow his fields and now he has someone offering to plow his fields! While this one has a bit of consent issues built in, with the unequal dynamic, I'd prefer any eventual ending point to lean further into "freedom for the alpha guy" rather than "slave/master dynamic continues as per".
Retired Male Superhero/His Male Villain Nemesis Who Keeps Seeking Him Out Because He Misses Him (OW)
Look, there's a lot of different tones you could play this, from extreme comedy to something more heartfelt, and I'm not coming up with any that I wouldn't like. Superheroes and identity issues and masks and knowing your enemy so well they are part of your heart.
Sensible but Lonely King/Charming Prince Marrying Him for Political Reasons (OW)
Hello I'm Medusa and I love arranged marriages. And god just the dynamic of like, you were lonely for so LONG. Your life was small and cold. And now there's someone here who kisses you on the cheek when he leaves the table, and you know it's just because he's like that, but also. But also what if maybe he could like you someday. What if you can make things good for him. What if you're afraid you're everything he hates but you made a little joke and he laughed at it.
Traumatised but Loyal Male Human Weapon/His Friendly New Male Master (M/M) (Original Work)
Okay so I'm sooooo normal about coming back from dehumanization. Someone who treats you like a person? After you no longer even think of yourself as one? Let's GO.
Con artist impersonating a missing kid & kid’s family who murdered kid then reported missing (ow)
Oh man do I love conversations where you're saying one thing but you're LYING. Everyone using each other for their own ends and the dawning realization that you fucked up real bad. The looming danger and people are between you and all the exits. Could be fun.
Origins SMP
Origins SMP:
Here's a fandom I added in the last 6 hours of the exchange, thank you late tag signups. Origins! Beloved fandom with so much potential that has died and been reborn so many times, I believe it can live again maybe. Beloved fandom where we made up most of the lore because the server, as mentioned, is busy dying. I have had so much fun worldbuilding in this space. Come play with me in this space.
I will say that this doesn't reach the level of a DNW, but my favourite things with Origins is stuff that goes beyond the "hybrid hunter" trope for worldbilding. I'm not against it as an element, but an entire story that leans on hybrid prejudice as the only thing going on, no other fun worldbuilding or other plot points, is not my favourite.
Fandom-specific DNW: Any reference to CC!techno’s death | Any reference to a death for o!Techno | bad dad phil or abusive family dynamics | techno as phil's son | bio-related 4/4 SBI. | Tommy-Centric
Emduo/AEduo:
Me gathering up the few scraps of my guys and holding them carefully up to you: I think we could make a fic out of this. I’m good with bunnyblade, witherblade, or “just some guy” human!techno, and I'm good with phoenix-phil, crowfather superhero type beat, or crowfather evil villain type situation. One of my favourite dynamics is Techno pretending to be carrot-obsessed or otherwise not caring but actually having a lot more skills that he's keeping locked down for some reason, and Crowfather just being so so so weird. Why are you so weird my man.
Honestly with this you can kind of make up the dynamic, cause we have so little to work with, but I'd like them to be important to each other, please. Phil pulling aside a bell like :3 "I know a guy who likes bells" and Techno doing his carrot-obsessed bit but keeping coming back to hang out with Phil. If you're making up the dynamic, I"m good with besties, war buddies, QPR, or anything else in between.
Sneegza:
Crime buddies! Phil is an evil masermind and Sneeg is his loyal henchman! They're here to cause problems! They're a bird man and a moth! I'm good with this along the whole besties to co-conspiraters to married spectrum.
