artemisdart Dear Yuletide Writer,
Thank you for coming to my little corner of the Internet to find out about my hopes and dreams for a Yuletide gift!
I love writing and reading sex, so if you want to take any of these in a sexual direction I would be down for that! I have a lot of kinks, or at least in theory I can see what would be appealing about a lot of kinks. Group sex, BDSM, some less common kinks, mental / emotional bondage, all are good. I enjoy a lot of different types of writing, from the simple Hemingway-esque to the overwrought Jacqueline Carey style.
If you go down the sex road, I like good old-fashioned Old English words for body parts and activities, not diminutive words like "boobies" (shudder, and not the good kind of shudder). Hope that's not too specific!
My Do Not Want list: Major character death, permanent bodily or mental injury, incest, 2nd person point of view ("you"), poop, cannibalism
I put six requests into the aether:
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Anime)
I loved the bleak, corrupt future world of this show, where money can buy almost enjoying and the line between human and machine is theoretical at best. For me the core of the show was Batou. I love his steadfastness and loyalty. In my head canon he and Motoko have an established "thing," so if you want to write that I would love it, but it's not necessary. As the only unenhanced human on the team, Togusa has a different perspective on all the craziness that this team gets up to. I don't necessarily think he needs a sexcapade, since he's also a family man, but maybe he might need a sexcapade? Politics, back-stabbing, computers, betrayal, complex motivations, etc. would all be very welcome!
Nero Wolfe - Rex Stout
I loved this world and would adore a new story set in it. Did you know Nero Wolfe canonically punched Nazis? I looked up his page on Wikipedia and found that out. I feel like that's a hero I can really get behind. Nero was uncompromising in ensuring his own comfort, yet every so often he did exert himself for a good cause. I would hope to see him in the story. Also, Lily being active or taking charge, and Archie not being active / not taking charge, because Archie spent almost every book running around doing things. You don't have to come up with a crime and then solve it, but I wouldn't mind if you did!
The Legend of Vox Machina (Cartoon)
I set this to be "any character" because I do mean it. Do you want to write Grog brooding while lifting weights? Go for it? Want to write a hot sex scene between Vax and his boy toy? Yessss! An ensemble story where they fight and banter at the same time? Amazing! I will be happy with many things, so let your imagination free! (However please do note that at least to me, a group sex scene including both Vax and Vex would count as incest and be a Do Not Want.)
Portrait de la jeune fille en feu | Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)
This movie broke my heart! I loved the elegant, doomed heroine and the scrappy, innovative painter, and I love how they mutually seduced each other. I was hoping for another glimpse into this world, maybe with a glimmer of happiness, because it is so depressing to think of that beautiful lady wasting the rest of her life married to some rich jerk just because he wanted a wellborn virgin to bear his children. UGH.
Andor (TV)
Oh, how I love this show. I selected two baddies -- Dedra and Syril -- and two good guys -- Cinta and Nemik. Any story featuring one of more of these characters would make me happy. I adore the ISB, political machinations, back-stabbing, espionage, intrigue, impossible choices, murky motivations, change of heart, Brutalist architecture, and sex with an agenda!
I find Syril particularly fascinating. It seems to me that he could easily flip and become anti-Empire, if the right person said/did the right thing at the right time. He was clearly really upset about his men being slaughtered, and he got into the whole thing in the first place because of his sense of justice. I could see him turning and helping the rebels. Or maybe he'll stay a bitter, sad man dedicating his talents to an industrial death machine that doesn't care at all. Who can tell?
Dedra has already gone too far to be redeemed due to her torture of Bix, at least that's my take on it. I am in love with her sheer competence. I want her to crush her internal rivals in the ISB! But wait, she's bad! So why do I adore watching every scene she's in??
Lupin (TV 2021)
I'm primarily interested in Ben and Guedira as characters, but anything set in this world would be great. If you want to ship anyone, go for it, or just a character study / buddy situation would be wonderful, too! One thing I love about the show is how very French it is, so I'd adore those little touches that transport you to a different culture and place. I also love how the secrets can often be found in books. As a bookworm myself, I'm secretly thrilled to think maybe my love of obscure 19th century literature (for example) could help crack the case! ^_^
Thank you again for reading! I'm looking forward to my gift!
