i have this weird perception of tony as TOP WITH STRANGERS, BOTTOM WITH TRUSTED LOVERS (with the exception of bruce maybe?) idk in my head it’s a whole thing about relinquishing control but tbh i need to break out of the mold
i dunno. i got this whole idea of Tony being a really controlling bottom too tho. so i don't even care if he's top or bottom. i don't really even get why people get so attached to those roles... because i think it really sets up weird dynamics. where people interpret top as the more aggressive dominating person and the bottom as submissive and more passive.
and those ideas really start to bore me and irk me. so i try not to even get tied down into that crap with fiction. unless there is kind of a very canon basis for things like that, which doesn't happen often.
also. i think tony is just a guy that it depends so so so so much on his present mindset and like so many variables as to what kind of "role" he's going to be playing in a personal encounter. aaaah
