Likes: Tony whump, hurt/comfort, tentacle porn, BDSM, BDSM AU, fantasy AUs involving creatures like dragons, unicorns, merfolk/octofolk, Black Jewels/Kushiel’s Legacy Night Court/DRoPern/Pokémon fusions, werewolves, kidnapping, sex farce, graphic depictions of cuddling


If you’d like some more specific prompts (and this is only if you want them, feel free to ignore them)

-A Savage Land Dino/alien creature has imprinted on Steve or Tony as its mate, and is jealously guarding one from the other. How serious or comical the situation is depends entirely on the size and shape of the creature, and if the imprinted one is currently injured and needs some medical attention — play it whichever way you like.

-Tony or Steve’s erotic dancing outfit.

-Alone together in the mansion for the holidays and feelings boil over.

-Steve in medieval plate armor, embodying all of Tony’s fantasies at once. Perhaps Jan takes Tony to Medieval Times (the dinner show) because she knows he’ll get a kick out of it and unbeknownst to either of them, the Steve is substituting for one of the knights, because apparently Steve has canonical jousting experience(?!).

-Steve and Tony start sharing dreams.

-Dom Tony safe words out.

-Aquarium date turned unexpected tentacle encounter.

-Steve comes home to a distressing trail of blood and follows it around the mansion/tower/other living arrangements until he finds Tony at the end of it.



Dislikes: body horror/maiming, permadeath of a major character, unrelenting grimdark or no hope ending, mpreg, vampires (Dracula-as-antagonist excepted), Hickmanvengers



Non-fandom related requests/anything else?: pictures of pets (dogs, cats, birbs, etc— don’t have to be your own pets!), cute or cool animal pics/vids of all kinds (I like everything from sea otters to jumping spiders and hyenas so all critters are go), cold weather themed mood boards, ocean themed mood boards, caffeine free tea recommendations (preferably available for US shipping), cozy warm drink recipes (with or without alcohol), color scheme inspiration swatches, traditional art supply recommendations, free to download Procreate brushes

Hi Phoenix! <3

[tinystark616]

I have pictures of pets for you!! Specifically my cats! haha

This is Thorin -- I think this picture shows his personality really well haha


This is Margot -- boxes are probably her favorite thing in the world


And this is Felix, the sleepiest boy:


Also, I made you a moodboard! You said you like pre-CW NAv1 (and yes it is so good!!!) so here and Steve and Tony being cute together. This is one of my favorite stevetony moments, for real :D



I hope these brighten your day! <3 Also I wanted to say your art is sooo beautiful and I really love your style! <333

Re: Hi Phoenix! <3

[phoenixmetaphor]

Thorin is soooooooo cheeky. Margot fits so neatly. And I empathize with Felix’s sleepiness on a deep and personal level. Thanks so much for showing me your fur fam!! I love them all dearly.

And eeeeeeeeeee thank you for the mood board. Ugh, i love the warm color palette you pulled out of these panels. Not me “hearing” the conversation about bagels regardless of whether the words are on panel. THEY WERE OUT OF SESAME.

Perfect panel to leave the word balloons on, btw.

“I’ll think about it.”

“Great! See you at 8. 😘 “

STEVE. respect Tony’s pretense that he can resist you. Come on. Be sporting.

Anyway, I love it. Thank you for making it for me. It’s *chefs kiss*!

and also THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥺.

"Need a hand stranger?"

[kriverside]

Happy belated Holidays and happy valentines day=D

Prompt: "Steve in medieval plate armor, embodying all of Tony’s fantasies at once"
Tony get's send back in time and Knight!Steve picks this stranger up to help him.

Re: "Need a hand stranger?"

[phoenixmetaphor]

tony could use a hand. IN HIS PANTS.

Waaaaaaaaa. The dappled light from the break in the trees. A literal knight in shining armor. TONY DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE.

I love the tabard over the scale. And Steve’s earnestness in his expression.

And Tony looking to get his hands on that pommel

Thank you so much for this! It’s beautiful 😍 Your figures are so lovely and full of life. I know well it’s not easy to have someone sit convincingly upon a horse. uggghhhh the boot in that stirrup. So welll observed.

[mobiusonajetski]

I am obsessed with this cat that I stumbled across on a royalty free photography site.



Here's more photos of this lovely cat for you.

[phoenixmetaphor]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful creature with malice in their heart with me. they look like they want to bite me. I would let them.

Genuinely so captivating! Amazing find.

[lomku]

hello! I heard you like tentacles. Enjoy this silly thing:

Re: phoenix stocking

[phoenixmetaphor]

🤣 niiiiiiiiice.

Tony lost in the science and facts. Steve lost in the sauce.

I wonder what Steve thinks about when Tony is talking about transistors……

It’s perfect. Thank you 💕

[dirigibleplumbing]

Happy stocking day, phoenix! I drew you a 2nd drinking arc piece inspired by this 1960s this ad by Rolf Harder.

[phoenixmetaphor]

Waaaaaaaaa. The *mood* of this piece. The foreshadowing. Exquisite.

Tony, immaculate, before the complete loss of control, before he let his grooming go (… and, can I say, what pretty plush lips you have, Tony!).

Broken up by the glass. In pieces.

(and about to be shattered!)

Thank you for this beautiful work 💕

[starkparade]

Hi Phoenix,
Happy Stockings! Thank you for all the wonderful art you share with us! I'm especially fond of your initial work and the subsequent illustrations for Thrust Issues. Sine always says that fic is her legacy, but I'd say it's the legacy of both of you, and for good reason! I think about your hilarious yet hot art a lot haha ❤️

Unfortunately, I don't have pets of my own, but my grandparents had these cuties, so please enjoy these photos of them!

[phoenixmetaphor]

Awww. Man. Thank you so much 🥹

I like to tease sine about the fact that I left her holding the metaphorical bag on that one, essentially prompting Steve’s giant dick and then Houdini-ing my way out of the ‘blame’. I would never try to steal the spotlight on 100k words of Steve’s massive schlong 🤣

But I am very happy to know my fannish contributions to that work are live on 💕🍆

And ooooh, what a sweet menagerie your grandparents care for! The fuzzy belly of the last dog….🥹. Thank you for sharing them with me!

[sineala]

Hey, Phoenix! You are an awesome person and I am really grateful for your friendship. It has really meant a lot to me. I have enjoyed our many years of fandom collaboration and RP and whatnot (I live in hope that someday when I figure out how to finish fic again we can collaborate again on something because I have missed working with you; you are still, seriously, my favorite artist in fandom and my absolute favorite to work with on fandom creative projects) and I am also very much enjoying hanging out with you for all the streaming. It has been really really nice to have you around to talk to and it is honestly one of the big highlights of my week and I am just really really thankful that, you know, after ten years you are somehow still finding it entertaining to talk to me. You are just honestly the best!

I did not feel confident about my ability to write RE (I mean, you'd think maybe I would be after like 13 games, but no; I did consider it but also the only possible idea I could come up with was RE6 amnesia angst, on the theory that I could not possibly make RE6 any worse) so I went with your Tony-tracking-blood prompt and wrote you a fic that starts out with that and then somehow ends in PWP. I don't even know.

The thing I was going to write, as I said, was a massive Steve/Tony Pern AU, which I then didn't do because I got stuck on what to name everyone's dragon which, of course, is the real problem and not the part where it would be like 25k and I had like five days left. So, uh, let me know if you want my 3000 words of outline for a fic I did not actually write in which Tony the greenrider Fights The System and is an oblivious idiot about Steve the bronzerider, his new Weyrleader. I can't remember if we have ever talked about a Pern AU but if we did I don't think this was it. I mean, maybe it was? It's been a while. :D

[msermesth]

Happy February and double happy stockings! I look at that picture you drew of Pierre all the time. I wrote something quick here.

[(Anonymous)]

Awww. I’m humbled you continue to enjoy it! 🐕

And thank you for the gift 🥹. Ah, the vulnerability of it…. 🥰

You can just ALWAYS drag me in with a plate armor prompt! <3
Steve surprises Tony with his appearance.
I hope you like it!

[phoenixmetaphor]

Oh, thank you!!! Steve is so chivalrous 🥰. Down on one knee to take Tony’s hand so daintily. AND A CAPE. Maybe Steve has finally got the hang of having one.

Mmm. Tony is definitely passing the key to his room to that dashing fellow, oh hoho 💕

[nostalgicatsea]

Happy stocking day, phoenix! Enjoy these animal videos :)

- a bear's interesting fishing technique
- you've heard of hamsters and other furry animals using wheels...but did you ever see a slug use one?
- two birds enjoying a car ride

[phoenixmetaphor]

And yesssssssss. I love this slug enjoying the wheel. The deep and cross species joy of gotta go fast.

Ahhhhh, what perfect hammocks. What a jaunty little bounce. What perfect lil guys.
