chocobox 2021!
Jan. 6th, 2021 10:57 pmwhat a year, right???? @___@ thank you <3 for still signing up for this exchange and for writing something for me!! i hope you've been alright this year. take care, okay?
here's some general info about my preferences :3
and then, about nsfw...
nsfw is fine to include! but please don't feel like you have to. more than anything i love to read about kisses and emotions; an emotional, passionate make out scene can be 10x as hot as an actual sex scene in my opinion. if you DO choose to include some nsfw, i'll be honest and say that i lean pretty much exclusively vanilla. :') i love femdom, some mild d/s and light bondage, but again, i'm really in it for the feelings. if there's a woman present, though, i strongly prefer for the focus to be on her and what she's feeling and what's being done to her.
i'm very fond of "realistic" nsfw scenarios, where the preparation matters, safe sex is practiced, etc. consent is sexy, of course. i also enjoy sex NOT actually happening, whether they end up just talking and laughing and get distracted or one person isn't actually in the mood and they decide to just cuddle or do something else entirely.
more intense kinks are sort of on a pairing-by-pairing basis, but i definitely always want everything to be 100% consensual and enjoyed by both parties.
here's some general info about my preferences :3
dislikes;
casual sexism, like a character being embarrassed about their crush and saying they're "acting like a teenage girl", making it seem like that's a bad thing, etc.
homophobia being present, i prefer it to be handwaved away in most cases, unless you'd like to tackle it seriously! i do think dealing with a character's internalized homophobia or perhaps homophobia from their family and whatnot can be interesting, but i don't really care for just casual mentions of "oh, there's no way he could like a boy" and whatnot.
any sort of rape, noncon or dubcon. general consent issues, like drugging or alcohol, etc.
infidelity.
second person pov.
likes;
soulmate aus of nearly any kind intrigue me a lot! i'm a huge sucker for the ones involving words, though, whether those be the words your soulmate says to you at some point or even just a quote or something that really speaks to the relationship, maybe lyrics? those can be so profound and lovely.
non-sexual intimacy. i love anything that really explores the details of how two people have gotten close to each other, the ways they've blended into each other's lives. clothes being left at the other person's home or specifically buying snacks because they know the other person loves it, etc. are so sweet to me and can be so unique. of course, physical affection and intimacy in that sense is wonderful, too, but i love the emotional/practical displays of intimacy the most.
mutuality is big for me! i love when relationships are balanced; they don't necessarily have to express things the same way, but i love when it's clear that they feel equally about each other, and no one is wondering whether they're more invested than the other person.
location-specific information! it's so fun for me to read a fic that's clearly set somewhere specific, especially when the author has familiarity with it, so it feels very authentic and realistic; specific stores or mentions of features of the area, things like that.
communication. i don't really enjoy miscommunications or passive-aggression. i really like to read about people tackling issues together and deciding how to work through them. even for positive things, too! figuring out how they want their relationship to work, talking about their individual needs and wants, etc.
i also have a huge soft spot for regency aus and all, that stuff that has really formal courtship processes and slowburn, but that's probably too much for chocobox haha
