[NSFW Text] [Trope Salt]

character: tries to firmly assert physical affection
fans: oh, is this a top!
character: gets overwhelmed with shyness
fans: AH, I SEE. THE CHARACTER IS ACTUALLY UNCOMFORTABLE BEING ASSERTIVE IN AFFECTION. DEFINITELY A BOTTOM, THEN
me: okay but what if they OVERCAME THEIR ANXIETY and topped LIKE THEY ORIGINALLY WANTED

also don't your preferences for sexual stuff often have nothing to do with how you act normally

I say

I love big beefy bottoms

Yeah Im talking about something in between like where there is some evidence about the characters in physical yet nonsexual situations

where e.g. you see them try to hold someone's hand

also hot take your preferences for sexual stuff often have nothing to do with what you ARE GOOD AT
