ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Central Time; irregular hours. I have several health issues, and some days I can't tag at all. If I haven't tagged back in a while and you want to make sure I got the tag or am still planning to return it, feel free to poke me.
STYLE: No preference between brackets or prose; prefer present tense, but will match past. I sometimes have trouble keeping up with text threads for long unless they switch to in-person.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: No gore in picture prompts, no graphic descriptions of gore in tags; no eye trauma; no insects.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGS/SLOWTIME: ✓ (there is no "too old")
ASSUMED CR: ✓ (pms are open for discussion)
MULTIPLE THREADS: ✓
FAKE GAME SETTING/UNIVERSE CLASHES: ✓
DEFAULT SETTING: Modern American city. Mundane by default, but happy to have supernatural stuff going on around him.

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: ✓
He's gonna run in the other direction if it looks like someone's sick. Other than that, though, he's okay with it, if a little bit hesitant to seek it out. Prefers firmer touches to light ones.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: ✲
No problem writing it, however, he's likely to either run or be hurt too badly to do anything pretty quickly, so it's unlikely to be interesting as the main point of a thread.
MINDREADING/PSYCHIC ABILITIES: ✓
Completely human, no blocks, no ability to tell if something's happening. There's a lot of repetition, and he has several little mantras and lists that will go through his head throughout any given day.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Ow, and also, oof. Full list of illnesses can be found on his bio, but the short of it is he's probably in some kind of pain, and something's probably swollen. Does his best to take good care of himself, and he has his better days, but his baseline will always be lower than your average person's.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Dave grew up in pretty bad health and pretty bad financial conditions, neither of which he's particularly hesitant to talk about should conversation go that way. He continues to have health issues in his adulthood, and struggles with mental health as well.

RELATIONSHIPS
PLATONIC: ✓
He probably could use the friends. He's also a pretty amiable person in general, and inclined to friendly gestures, free cookies, and trying to remember the details of people's lives.
NEGATIVE: ✓
Dave's more inclined to keep to himself if he doesn't like someone, but I'm absolutely down for working something out.
BUSINESS: ✓
Feel free to assume employer-employee CR. His staff is small, but he does his best to do right by them.
SHIPPING: ✓
He's going to be a little hesitant about it, but yes, please. Generally more interested in men; he's occasionally attracted to women, but unlikely to be willing to act on it unless they're already friends. Had a couple of relationships, but they were pretty short ones and ended amicably. Absolutely not inclined to casual encounters.

IDEAS AND WANTS
TL;DR: I'm here for illness/pain-based hurt/comfort, domestic shipping, and cute friendships. Please give me all the things, the more trope-riddled the better.
➥ Slooooooowburn romance. The slowest of burns. Mutual pining a bonus. Make it as tropey and schmoopy as possible.
➥ Small business owner friendships. Just for fun. Especially other fic-trope-riddled ones -- give me your other bakeries (good-natured rivalries also welcome), coffee shops/cafes, tattoo parlors, flower shops, etc, etc.
➥ Dave doesn't really know anyone else who has problems around their health the way he does; having him meet someone else who deals with similar issues could be very interesting.
➥ Friends who might gently push him out of his comfort zone and/or come share stories over baked goods with him.
➥ Give me that comfort stuff, platonic or romantic. Bad pain days, bad illnesses, post-checkup exhaustion and post-test wait periods, foggy mental days, dealing with seasonal depression, trapped in a small space and oh no panic; give it all to me, I'm never tired of it. I'm also here for hurt/comfort in the other direction, especially if it involves swallowing his own fear of getting sick to help someone else get better.
➥ Super low-key witch AU? Think Practical Magic and the Good Witch, not Charmed.
