Sometimes I'm completely confused by how fic writers pick D/s roles. Like, I've seen a bunch of A:TLA fic and art depicting Zuko as a top. I genuinely don't understand what show those people were watching.

[(Anonymous)]

That's how I feel when I see people writing Spike from Buffy as dominant. Just no.

Although, top? Do you mean dominant? Because those aren't the same thing and I can't recall any scenes in ATLA that gave me an impression on whether Zuko would or would not like to be penetrated.

Ack, sorry, I meant dom. I come to you from the distant past, where terminology was fuzzier. My bad. Point is, if Zuko were any more a of a sub he'd have a periscope.

Spike before or after character development? He certainly seemed to have a firm hand on Drusilla.

[(Anonymous)]

Even then, he struck me as a certain type of male submissive. He was still "love's bitch," as he put it. He still focused totally on her and what she wanted. He seemed to me then like the type of man who reads dominant at first glance, who fits all the "alpha male" stereotypes, but who is actually submissive.

[siofrabunnies]

See, I could see Zuko as a top or a bottom. Bottom because he'd want to just get away from all the responsibility, top because he'd want to feel in control of something. (or just because some people like to top/bottom, and it's not necessarily about issues)

I agree he'd much more likely be a sub, though.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes I deliberately write characters that seem like doms as subs, and vice versa, purely as a writing exercise. In fact, that's usually how I do it because it's more interesting to me.

Fanfic writers tend to follow each other like sheep. If one writer writes Zuko as a dom, and their fic is early in the fandom and widely read, that might become the fandom convention for no better reason. It doesn't have to make any kind of sense sense.
