Yesterday I had a discussion about this with my coworker. We were both wondering if the recent ice storm might slow the spread of the flu. Think about it, many people were trapped at home for about a week. Is it possible that those who had the flu were less likely to spread it to others outside of their household, and during that week recovered, and maybe this will show as a reduction in flu at least for a few weeks? My coworker thought this seemed possible, and I do too. Does anyone know if this might actually be a thing, or are we just coming up with crazy theories?

Maybe it'll slow it down, maybe it'll be less overall this season, or maybe it's just going to delay it and it will hit later in the season than usual?

I do this sometimes! I'll read back and I'm like wow, that isn't half bad! I wrote this?? I did a good job!

If I want to read fic about them, my brain only does fixed shipping, so all of them.

Gomez and Morticia Addams switch, though. I won't read fic about it, but no one can convince me otherwise.

See, I'm less about top/bottom and more about dom/sub. I'm okay with any of them switching on positions, but I do have some preferences on dom/sub.

With my Buffy ships, Spike always subs, Angel aways doms, Buffy switches, Drusilla switches, Darla switches. Willow I actually think is more likely to sub and Tara do dom, but they can switch it up.

On Star Wars, Kylo/Ben is very, very sub. Rey and Hux are both doms, though very different types.

Most of my other ships I still actively read, I tend to think the characters switch it up at least some of the time, though maybe with preferences.

Yes. We actually killed of a few strains of flu during the covid lockdowns and it was the lowest real number of flu cases needing hospitalization in decades.

It'll be monitored until Monday's FS post goes up. You can leave your comment secrets here:

Cheers,

For me, when I have a fixed idea, it tends to be linked to characters. Some characters I just can't see not having specific preferences/tendencies, and reading them otherwise feels wrong to me.

AYRT

Sorry this was mainly about physically topping and bottoming, not dom/sub dynamics. I should have made that more clear.

Ah, okay. Wasn't sure, people often conflate the two. Then no, I don't have particular preferences in that regard.

Haha yeah. I was curious because another anon in a thread above said "I never see people arguing that there must be [top/bottom] switching in M/F fandoms or otherwise it's misogynistic" (emphasis mine) and I was wondering if anyone does that, or if it's restricted to same-sex ships only.

I know plenty of people who "don't mind, are fine with, or enjoy" M/F ships switching who goes where but none that insist they must, for some kind of gender fairness

I have heard an occasional argument that set top/bottom in M/M pairings is sexist because it is imagining one of them in the "male" role and one of them in the "female" role. I think it is a stupid argument personally, unless the characters are also being written not as they are in canon but as completely stereotypically in other ways to the male and female stereotypes.

For me who tops and who bottoms is 100% self-indulgent, I really don't care if someone wants to psychoanalyze me about it. "It's because you're a bottom/top", "it's heteronormative!", this or that. man... sure whatever.

I can only see Destiel as a switching couple with Dean preferring to be a bottom. But IDK doesn't make sense to be to see Dean as 100% bottom 100% of the time. And Castiel would absolutely love to try bottoming (he'd probably complain about the preparation and cleaning process too much though).

I've always seen Spike/Buffy as switch. Buffy pegging Spike should be in more fics... He'd absolutely love it and wax poetics about it.

Hawks/Endeavor (Boku no Hero Academia) is a fixed top/bottom couple for me with Hawks at the top. Gotta give Enji what he needs even if he can't ask for it...

I only enjoy Victor/Jayce (Arcane) if Victor is a top. Especially hot if he's topping from the bottom or they are doing intricate positions to take in consideration his leg/spine.

Ymir/Christa (Shingeki no Kyojin) with Christa on top, ABSOLUTELY. But yeah possibly they'd switch with Christa doing the pillow princess routine just to please Ymir. Christa is 100% dom ALWAYS.

What game is this? I've only heard those names in the context of commedia dell'arte.

See I see Dean as being really enthusiastic to try things and Cas totally game to give Dean what he wants/needs. But I can't see Dean as anything but sub, regardless of partner, and Cas can definitely dom.

Hard yes to Spike/Buffy switching top/bottom up.

I want more fics from the top POV. There's such a dearth of them!

I see Dean as sub, too! But I was only talking about sex positions in this case.

For dom/sub I have:
Destiel: fixed Dean sub (ALWAYS with anyone) / Castiel dom
Buffy/Spike: switch
Hawks/Endevor: fixed Hawks dom / Endeavor super sub the subbiest of the subs
Victor/Jayce: switch
Ymir/Christa: fixed Christa dom / Ymir sub

I prefer all my ships switch. I have no opinions on who tops/bottoms. I DO have strong opinions on which characters in my favorite ships are alphas or omegas.

ETA: And I guess I do have preferences about who subs/doms. But not as strong as ABO dynamics.

Edited 2026-02-01 22:31 (UTC)

Exactly. There are some characters who I feel would bottom no matter who they were with, for example.

Boooo let big dick have a ride.

(TMI) Okay soooo... I'm a bi guy who usually tops, I like any size but in my fic I tend to write hung bottoms because I like sucking and jerking off big dicks and I love the sight of a hung guy getting fucked, especially enjoy seeing a guy with a big dick and a plug in his ass, just being honest LOL. There's something incredibly hot about it to me, seeing a hung bottom getting off on the more sensual pleasure of getting filled and teased drives me crazier than watching a hung top. Okay thanks for reading, you're welcome to your preference too of course OP. Different strokes and all that.

A lot when I have a fixed preference, it's less about what I find OOC/fitting my headcanons and more about what I personally find hot for the ship.

Like, I think most of my ships would switch or I don't have a specific headcanon for their roles, but I'm only interested in reading one top/bottom orientation for several of them, because I like the visual, I find something interesting about the character dynamic with those roles, or I think one character is hotter as the bottom.

+1

For a second I thought this was a commedia shipping secret, that would have been awesome haha. Hope you're not disappointed with the storylines in your game though OP!

+1

It's just what I find hot. Go ahead and analyze it, there is nothing too deep there.

hehe you said strokes

(sorry)
