Do you play your Aloy with the heart, fist or brain option or a mix-- or none at all? Need to know for science.

considering i’m a practicing witch, that’s great.

What’s your OTP for your Muse?:

I don’t really have an OTP for Teb yet, if I’m completely honest. I mean, I think he’s cute with Aloy, but that might be too much of a hero-worshiping situation as it is in canon.

And I don't know if I could have been any more obvious for Nathan, but my OTP for him is Grahamfield. I know that gameplay-wise they have no leg to stand on, but I just really like the prospect of them and especially them learning from each other. (I also just want Nathan to be happy.)

This does not mean these ships are set, because I’m open to most ships. It’s all chemistry-based. Though Nathan is gay.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?: 

Uh... everything.

Okay, no, honestly, there are some restrictions: I'm usually fairly fond of exploring dark themes, but I have some limitations. I don't do incest or pedophilia. And I won't tolerate non-con or abusive relationships unless very thoroughly talked through upfront. I'm also very picky with my partners around these subjects.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?:  

I don’t have any problem with age gaps, as long as there are no underage people involved.

Are you selective when shipping?:

Yes and no? It depends on the muse, really. Some get more easily involved with people than others and some have a very hard time letting people in, and I generally just go with the flow.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?: 

Any touching below the belt or once the pants come off is NSFW area and will be under a Read More.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?:

So far I’ve only shipped Nathan with @cyanide-and-morning-glories‘ Selik, and Teb hasn’t had any romantic action yet.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?:

You don't have to ask for your character to have a crush on mine, I am always okay with that and will not assume it forcing a ship, but if the ship is something you really want to happen you might need to contact me with it. Some of my muses are kind of dense, or maybe I simply struggle to see how it will work, but talking it through is always a good place to start!

How often do you like to ship?:

I like ships, but I like them to develop. Sometimes I also feel more for romance than others, so I might be a little finicky on that part... I also like delving into a lot of different sort of relationships other than just romance, so I don't know? I don't know how often? I like ships, but they're not top-priority.

Are you multiship?: 

Yes! Though, as I said, some of my muses are pretty picky and don't open up to relationships too often. It's nothing personal, the chemistry just needs to be there.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?:

I ship more-or-less, but once I really ship something, it usually makes a complete 180 and slams me in the face. Like... 'Wow! I really love this ship. I'm making it seven aesthetics and putting together a song list an spamming you with au possibilities for the rest of the week.'

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?:

I don't really... have one??

Finally, how does one ship with you?: 

      “ i’m        sorry  about  your  father.  ( clears  throat. )  r-rost.  i  mean .”   feelings  run  in  sync  with  the  battle  sworn  female.       “  my parents,  they’ve  p e r i s h e d   ten  years  ago.  it’s  still . .  hard  for  me .”   as  if  his  words  are  going  to  magically  lift  her  spirts,  cullen  still  tries.    one  hand  softly  bumps  into  the  back  of  the  nape  where  gold  begins.  it’s  unknown  as  to  what  pelt  remains  wrapped  around  the  warrior’s  shoulders;  whichever  it  may  be,  has  also  died  with  similar  fatalities  as  his  own  family.

       ‘ it’s not enough, aloy. it’s not enough. ’ 

he sounds like he’s asking her for something, his voice all sorts of desperate and torn. balfour doesn’t know what she can do to make this better, to give howe the punishment he deserves, but she’s the only one he trusts to manage it.
