Re: What's a ship/character you love, but the majority of fandom interprets them differently than yo

Apparently a lot of Dean/Castiel shippers prefer Dean as a bottom. But my favorites are always the one I like to be the bottom/sub/omega so I'm the opposite for several fandom ship preferences.

I don't have preferences on position for them, but I do see Dean as somewhat submissive, even in his het relationship. I don't actually have a preference for Cas other than that I don't ship him with anyone but Dean.

Sam on the other hand is definitely dominant.

I really only have one ship that is an OTP that I don't ship with others and that is Vegeta/Bulma. Everyone else, I have a favorite character and ship them with everyone.

Thought I do love some bottom!Dean (I think it takes him time to accept that that can be a thing he wants and that there's a lot of switching with them and that they get different things out of each position actually-- and while I think Dean IS someone who can really get a lot out of submission, Cas certainly gives 'submissive like a guard dog is submissive' energy, and could as easily be a service dom or sub, so like... with those two in particular I'm open to many interpretations, and okay, this got to be a longer sidebar than intended), I know what it's like to have top/bottom (or dom/sub or alpha/omega) preferences to the bulk of a fandom.

In one fandom, my fave (and half of an OTP) VERY clearly reads to me as a bottom, and COULD be vers where bdsm is concerned but is at least SOMETIMES dom-leaning. So I really can't win. Either he becomes a Manly Man Top in ways that are wildly OOC even outside of the bedroom, or he's the subbiest sub ever to exist, which... isn't really how he advertises himself.

I mean, some of this is that a LOT of fanwriters are not themselves gay men, so they assign 'top' and 'bottom' as like... personality traits, rather than looking at the same signalling that I'd look for if I was the type of person who went to clubs/bars, so it's kind of incomprehensible to me if I'm watching a TV show and I see a guy present himself with a lot of focus on his crotch (flashy belt buckles, legs spread wide when seated, thumbs in belt buckles so hands frame The Area when standing) only for fandom to declare this man is a strict bottom. Or to see a guy bent over and all but presenting his ass to or pushing it into the guy he's been managing to look up through his eyelashes at despite not actually being any shorter, and see people say 'Oh, no one has ever seemed more like a top'.

Both these things have happened and it drives me batty, but like... I'm not the fun police, I dunno.

I never got into the SPN fandom, but I did briefly wonder if maybe I should give Destiel a try, just for the unlimited content. And I remember realizing that bottom Dean seemed to be the favored dynamic and just not really vibing with that.

I don't tend to like machismo/performative masculinity in any of the characters I ship, top or bottom, but it seems to be an extra hard nope for me when it comes to bottoms/subs. Obviously bottoms and subs IRL can have tons of machismo; it's just not what I'm personally into in fiction is all.

Also, did Cas fall because he pulled Dean out of hell? Or did he fall for a non-Dean-related reason? It's been a really long time since I watched that season. But like, if Cas fell for Dean's sake, then...IDK, for my personal sensibilities, he's already committed a tremendous act of emotional/existential submission before we even meet him. I mean, to "give up the lord's grace" or whatever, for the sake of one specific human who should probably be inconsequential to you? That just feels like Downbadism of the highest order.

I guess you could also read it as an act of protection committed by a powerful entity on a powerless entity, and therefore Dom-coded. But to me it doesn't feel like that. It feels like a tertiary angel became fixated on a brave, suffering human and gave up his whole identity as he knew it in order to help him. And then proceeded, in his greatly diminished capacity, to low-key serve and protect said human on earth because...IDK, "It's Dean"?

He fell because he defied heaven to help Dean and Sam. It was far after he pulled Dean from Hell.
