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

After watching the first two seasons of Castlevania, I went to AO3 looking for Trevocard fics with top Trevor and bottom Alucard. But the majority of them seem to be the opposite dynamic.

Alucard has exactly the kind of icy poise and studied aloofness (and breathtaking beauty, lbr) that makes me want to see him turned unsteady and frantic and thoroughly undone by desire. Plus, the calm, unflinching way that he accepts personal sacrifice and loneliness in canon makes me want to see him loved and taken care of.

Trevor OTOH is the kind of rough-and-tough but secretly good-hearted character I prefer as a top and a gentle Dom. I think a lot of people choose to make Trevor sexually submissive as a spicy counterpoint to his rugged, "I don't care" attitude. But personally I don't vibe with that. Maybe because I don't think Trevor believes he has control over much of anything in the first place, so to me submission doesn't really serve as a developmental counterpoint for his character. The way I see it, Trevor feels dutybound but also deeply inadequate. He doesn't yearn to submit; he yearns to take effective action, but he doesn't believe he can. And in hardening himself against his own feelings of helplessness and inadequacy, he has cut himself off from relating to others with tenderness and affection.

So to me, the thing that challenges Trevor most deeply, but in a way that holds the most growth potential, is for him to develop tender and protective feelings that he can't seem to shake off - and to develop those feelings specifically for Alucard, someone he believes he should feel only hatred and distrust for.

Normally I prefer them the other way but you've made me rethink that! I like your characterization thoughts.
