2. favorite thing about this ship?

the way it recognizes that all the crows care about each other and have unique and interesting dynamics between all of them, not just the canon ships and I find even when people can accept polycrows, even if they don’t necessarily ship it themselves, they tend to be less canon ship centric and actually interested in other dynamics, ie. wylan matthias, kaz and wylan, nina and jesper, etc which is great for me because I get exhausted with how ship centric this fandom can be, especially with Kanej despite it being my favorite canon ship. I sometimes tag stuff polycrows I’m actually imagining in platonic context just so all the interaction doesn’t turn into a kanej post because without fail it will turn into “kaz only cares about inej” thing and I’m so tired. anyway sorry for that rant but tldr my favorite thing about polycrows is how ALL the crows and their dynamics get appreciated with it

3. Least favorite thing about this ship?

I don’t have anything really, I sometimes get really anxious about how I portray Wylan and the girls because I don’t wanna like ice him or anything but I also don’t wanna erase his sexuality and it doesn’t feel right to describe the way I ship polycrows to be “everyone’s in love but Wylan and the girls are just friends” because like,,, they do traditional romantic stuff together and they do romantic stuff together with other partners as well even if they aren’t romantically or sexually attracted to each other. idk this is a deeply personal worry of mine

4. How do you see this ship? Examples: "totally married", "besties who date sometimes for fun", "toxic exes that definitely shouldn't be 10 feet near each other".

you know funnily enough, polycrows is actually the ship I have the most traditional relationship dynamic in mind for, not completely traditional of course, you really can’t with the life goals Inej, Nina, and Matthias have, it would take them out of the house quite a bit but I do imagine marriage and kids in the future for polycrows lol

1. What makes good smut in your opinion?

2. When you like something from an author or have something from a fanfic that stands out to you, how often does it cross your mind?

3. If you do leave comments on a fic, why? If you don't, well why don't you? (No judgement either way, this is again just genuine curiosity and me trying to peak into other people's brains)

4. What makes bad smut in your opinion?

5. Have you ever actually read a fic that moved you to emotion? (moved you to laughter, to tears, to sexual gratification, whatever)

6. If you have ever been moved to emotion from a fic, did you let that author know? Or did you feel embarrassed?
