Hugging: Yeah, go for it.
Kissing: Sure! Absolutely, just go for it.
Flirting: Oh, 100%. Jaskier loves flirting. He'll definitely flirt back. (He's not necessarily good at it.)
Romance: Jaskier's pretty firmly married to Geralt and Yennefer, but it's not off the table entirely! It just takes an Amount™ of working toward it.
Sex: Ask first! Like, I'll probably say yes, but I'd like a heads up.

Fighting: You....... can? But you shouldn't. Jaskier's a weak human.
Injury: Ask first! I'm easy-going but I definitely want to know beforehand.
Death: Probably not! You can ask, but it's not really in the cards.

Mind-reading: Sure! I'll tell you for free that his brain is like a bad radio and your character probably won't have fun piecing any of what Jaskier's thinking together.
Manipulation: Definitely ask me first! Usually I'm down, but it's something I like to plan around.

Backtagging: If I don't respond for like two days, just msg me on discord or whatever and lmk because I probably forgot.
Threadjacking: I don't care unless something is explicitly marked as closed, most of the time. Still, you can definitely ask me to make sure if you're worried!
Fourth-walling: I'm fine with fourthwalling as long as it's not direct "you're fictional." Jaskier's fairly famous so he probably won't find it too weird.

Format: Either's fine!

CRAU: I'm 100% okay with CRAU characters recognizing him.

Shipping Preferences: Jaskier's deeply pan, kind of demiromantic, and not super inclined to monogamy? It's really just not in his character, but other than that I'm open to smut for any character 18+! He's pretty married to Geralt and Yennefer so more romantic shipping is probably not super likely. You can check my kinklist here.

Off-Limits: Eating disorders and this is weird but moving pictures of butterflies or moths.

Opt Out: Feel free to comment to this post if you'd rather opt out of me tagging you or any specific themes related to Jaskier!
