What’s an idea, dynamic, or trope in your current work that feels naughty or self-indulgent?

everything I make is wildly self-indulgent on account of my niche interests, chiefly finding gaps in canon to fill with WLW rarepairs/crackships/rare characters being weird about each other. Samantha/Ashley/Gianna (trayliamsini) started just because they're the characters I find the sexiest, so I went sniffing out canon-plausible reasons to insert a season of The L Word into the ME trilogy. Then accidentally started unraveling a story about queer loneliness (in space) and how you can make it so much worse by exploring emotional infidelity, especially if there is also an apocalypse going on, but then you can also make it a lot better by exploring polyamory instead. this is the flavor or "naughtiness" I find most appealing, since I love sexually charged interpersonal drama more than anything else 😈

Is your OC womanfave a virgin, blushing maiden, or sexual fiend? or aro/ace? or something in between?

as part of my vendetta against fanonization that tends to shoehorn characters into either extreme in slapstick ways I find annoying, I place pretty much all characters I like into the zone of "average to slightly below average when you factor in how hot they are but maybe they were just too busy being employed or whatever". I had originally pegged Gianna as Port Hanshan's resident Shane but I'm workshopping what exactly her problem is, so maybe not. She still gets around more than the other two

What’s your OC womanfave's “I shouldn’t be turned on by this” trigger?

this is basically the Main Idea actually. temptation and guilt and unresolved feelings spilling over at inopportune times are the sauce 🤌🤌🤌

What’s your OC womanfave's hard NO?

specifically related to the part of this concept that has Ashley and Gianna in a monogamous relationship, but Ashley and Samantha are squished on the Normandy together, while Gianna and Samantha have been in constant contact since Ashley was injured, so all three of them are fighting maximum demons: crossing the line to sexual cheating. A key ingredient to the sauce (above) is that Ashley is in the position of the greatest temptation but is the one the least likely to crack, while Gianna and Samantha are fortunate to be physically apart because they are absolutely the weakest side in this pre-throuple love triangle

What is the most debauched VP/Art you have ever created?

(I'm uncool and don't know what VP means) Not for this ship because I haven't had the time/brain cells to get much creating done yet, so dipping back into older works: if we're going by The Implications then it would probably be my latest Mizora/Florrick art, most sensual is probably this Neve/Rana which is still a favorite of mine. Back in my Arcane days, I took a crack at full NSFW art and honestly just found it so boring, so this is the level I like to be at.

What is the wildest NSFW smut you have ever thought up? Did you write it?

Thought up is between me and god but posted about? I posted some Kinktober concepts for Dragon Age the past couple years. Prob the wildest one I haven't written but definitely would, if the inspiration comes, is the one about Celene and Briala reenacting that scene from Portrait of a Lady on Fire where they rub hallucinogenics into each other's armpits. The wildest one I actually wrote and posted, although I was lazy and only wrote the trope and skipped actually writing the smut because was bored with it, would probably be the Neve/Rana sex pollen one. I forget how weird people find that trope tbh, it's so fantastical it doesn't register that high on my freak meter

Do you have any crazy projects for the future?

It's been a dry year for me creatively; anything I actually get drawn or written is a win in my book. I hope I manage to finish the trayliamsini manifesto, but if I don't, I'll have enjoyed working on it.
