so uh... could I ask for that list of characters their fandoms like to think are doms that you think are actually subs? and why? if you’re not too busy ofc, I’m just really interested lol
this is gonna be controversial so if ur a switch look away from this post - these r just my opinions btw!! pls write characters however u please it dont matter that much n i respect ur feelings. pls respect mine!
hq, bnha, aot, and naruto men who seem like doms but i think are subs.. sorry this is so long!
my number one is hq - we will start from there, this list is meant for characters i think highly prefer/completely are submissive. not people who i think switch!
TSUKISHIMA: i know what you’re thinking. i do - but tsukishima is someone who genuinely pegs me as submissive. probably not meaning to discover it and probably not realizing it until he’s knee deep in a committed relationship with someone who keeps him on his toes. the mutual respect in knowing he’s with someone who can dish it out is a kick in the throat for him.
KAGEYAMA: how do i say this... i think kageyama enjoys being lightly submissive because he likes being told what to do and how to please you. it makes the practice of sex easier and enjoyable - plus it helps him decompress
USHIJIMA: genuinely whole-heartedly believe that if this man gave half a fuck about bdsm he would be a submissive man. it’s humbling and ushijima loves worshipping his s/o - submission does that for him to the nth degree. he’s not really kinky but he knows himself and his relationship to his lover. his unavailability is a huge part of his insecurities as a lover - and giving his time and energy to the demands of that person are extremely gratifying. lives to serve.
onto the next! bnha
BAKUGO: this one im actually so convinced on i sometimes laugh when i write him as a dom. i find it incredibly hard to picture. this volatile, emotional, and constantly argumentative man absolutely screams submissive to me. like a punch in the gut, honest to god. of all the men in this list - this is one where i don’t think i could ever really take him seriously as a dom or switch. that’s a submissive man to me, nothing can change my mind sorry!
TODOROKI: another one where i giggle a little bit trying to write him as a dom. not even just cause he’s a sweetheart but because i doubt he’d feel entirely comfortable inflicting violence on his partner - plus mommy issues are simply staring at them in the face like. inexperienced too?
HAWKS: i feel like this one is 50/50 in the sub thing but like...... i see a lot of people write him as this teasing and playful dom but i think sex needs to relaxing for him in the sense that his job is extremely tough. i also just feel like it makes sense. like idek. just the vibes..
lastly aot + naruto..
for aot -
LEVI: a submissive, incredibly loyal and with a deep love for pain and masochism. the captain leavi is tired of taking orders and demands the deep-seated pleasure of servitdue. nothing change this opinion for me. submission is a long-haul game and levi loves being second place. he gets exhausted of everyone walking on egg-shells around him and meeting someone who takes him down a peg makes him feel human + he enjoys it. and masochism is a reclamation of his pain but that’s neither here nor there ! he’s a sub to me, sorry gang
ARMIN: seems obvious but it’s not because of why you think ! nothing to do with the fact that he’s a bit of a scaredy cat and everything to do with the level of devotion he feels to you, truly. something about aot men and proving their dedication to your love, though armin is much more of a praise kind of guy.
lastly naruto!
KAKASHI: nothing can my mind, not a fucking thing. so sorry everyone this man is a masochistic mf and that’s just how it be. real talk, i think the idea of dominating in bed doesn’t appeal to kakashi given the fact that he’s experienced and seen a lot and inflicting on his partner probably brings back a lot of dark memories. being lead is a nice change of pace.
SASUKE: yall not gone like this one.... i know u not gonna.. but this is simply how i see him. i think sasuke needs to be intimate with someone who can easily navigate his insecurities and submission is the most straight-forward route to that. also same reasons for kakashi tbh, the trauma at work.
