The Tinkerer

Permissions

☆ Formats: Prose and script style are both welcome, as are past and present tense! Any tag length is also fine just so long as I have enough to work with. I tend to try to match whoever I'm threading with for all of the above.

☆ Backtagging: I am always happy to backtag unto forever! Also if you ever want to pick up a dropped thread, just let me know, even odds that it'll be welcome. (If I ever drop a thread and you want to continue, give me a few days and then feel free to poke me!)

☆ Threadhopping/Threadjacking: Always welcome, don't even worry about it.

☆ Fourthwalling: Sure, feel free! I'm open to discussion about how he's from a fictional canon in other characters' universes, for them recognizing Phineas Mason/the Tinkerer from other Spider-Man canons they may be familiar with, and for discussion of universal differences between canons. It's all good!

☆ Handwaving/Skipping Ahead: I'm totally fine with this! I'm also good with fading to black if that situation ever comes up.

☆ Shipping Preferences: Not interested in shipping Phineas with anyone who's not yet 21, and that's the absolute youngest. Other than that, OTA! Phineas is bi with a heavy lean towards men and nonbinary people, but women are also not out of the question. He's aware of and comfortable with his sexuality and has been for years. I also play him as a trans man, so there's that. Finally, I'm also very open to poly/multishipping and play Phineas as being casually open with relationships and hookups and the like, though not always actively looking for them. I also usually play him as in an open relationship with Mysterio and Chameleon.

☆ Offensive Subjects: I'm more concerned about how subjects are handled than the subjects themselves. I'll make sure to mention if I'm uncomfortable, no worries. :)

☆ Hugging: Absolutely! If he doesn't know you or you're not on good terms he might be tense about it, but he's open to physical affection even if he doesn't often instigate it except with people he's very close to.

☆ Kissing: Platonic kisses to forehead, top of head, or cheek are welcome, though if you're not close or on negative terms he might be tense about it; hand kisses and non-platonic kisses anywhere but the lips will depend, but he may well flirt back. Kisses on the lips will definitely depend on the relationship he has with you; reactions could range from discomfort to reciprocation depending. That said, feel free! (Please do not have characters under 21 kiss him on the lips.)

☆ Flirting: Feel free! Depending on circumstances, how well he knows you, how much he likes you, etc., he might let you down or he might flirt back. (And depending on how distracted he is he might not notice.) That's for more serious flirting; playful flirting that's not necessarily meant to go anywhere he's more likely to return. (Again, please no characters under 21.)

☆ Nicknames: DO IT. He's used to Phineas, Mason, Tinkerer, and Tink, and Phin is not out of the question. He will probably draw the line at Phinnie, though. Other random nicknames are also super fine by me and he will have a reaction somewhere between "no" and amused/fond acceptance, depending.

☆ Fighting: Oh, he'll hate it, but I am open to it! To borrow a line from Mysterio, "he is useless in a fight." That said, he will likely try to get away, might try to call your bluff if he thinks you might be bluffing, or occasionally pull out a nasty surprise if he happens to have useful tech on him. Just give me a heads up so we can figure out how things will go! This will most likely leave him at least somewhat wary of you.

☆ Injuring: Sure! Or at least maybe! Again, he's useless in a fight and he knows it so he tries to avoid them and not physically be there when shit goes down. Still, that doesn't always work. Ask me before any major injury; I doubt I'll be open to more permanent ones. This will leave him incredibly wary of you at best.

☆ Killing: Mmmaybe. Just hit me up so we can talk about it first. I doubt this is something I'll want to do often. This will also leave him with both a huge grudge against you and probably significantly traumatized by you, so. There's that!

☆ Mind Reading: Sure! Talk to me and I'll be able to tell you what you can find in there, or make it clear that's what your character's doing in the thread and I'll try to let you know in a tag back. Phineas will probably not be happy if he finds out you are/were doing this, though.

☆ Mind Control: Maybe! Depends on what you want to have him do, but while Phineas won't be happy about it no matter what, I'm open to the possibility. Contact me and we can chat about it.

☆ Other Magic: Anything that doesn't fall into the above options, just ask me and I'll probably be cool with it! How Phineas reacts will depend on what it is, of course.
