this or that


dominant or submissive | a high-concept, highbrow meme



don't front. you know exactly what this is.

the rundown
1. for numerous, cosmically complex reasons that form a domino effect — or just because it's fucking hilarious — an unknown force has compelled your character to admit if they're dominant or submissive. some will try to lie and immediately be corrected (humiliation is probable). others will be honest. all will be revealed.
2. others express their interest, disinterest, shock, awkward downward spiral. have a casual conversation. hook up! live, laugh, love!
3. if you leave a blank top comment i will literally come piss on your computer.
4. no matter what, switches are important and valid.

Dominant by default. It's hard to earn my willingness to submit.

[It comes with the territory of being an abuse survivor with control issues.]

Does it even fucking matter, seriously...

[ After she gets her grumbling out of the way, she just shrugs. ]

Dominant, I guess.

Dominant, though anyone who wants me to submit is certainly welcome to make the attempt.

[Though he's not grumbling over it upfront, the question does give Ankari pause. Dominant or submissive, these strike him as far too narrow of definitions for most people to really stick to or define themselves by.

Or maybe he's thinking too deeply on something quite simple. Just trying to justify himself before he admits what he must.]


I wouldn't think it matters, no. Likely would depend on a partner's preferences. [That is too wishy-washy an answer, not the truth he's compelled to share,]

... yet, here I am compelled to say submissive. In most cases. [okay, now he'll grumble about it. Urg.]

[Speaking through very sharp teeth under spooky magical compulsion and so pissy about it.]

Naturally inclined to the latter, but I'm also a control freak with a tangle of traumatic memories such that any concession of power would make me scream and bolt, so I suppose dominant it is...

Yes, these things are a two-way street, aren't they? But that just makes me wonder how you earn other people's "willingness."

Bit of a personal question I'd say.

[After a moment and a casual shrug,]

Usually I take the lead. Not opposed to the other way around, mind. It's just how it shakes out most times.

She tilts it up to read it. Hmmmm. Ah.

...no, still not clicking. ]

I'm not sure what sort of question this is.

[ Not a proper one for a lady, to be sure. ]

Does one have to choose one or the other?

[ooc: cw: character has body horror/tentacles and mild insect imagery.]

S-submissive.

[He fidgets, face turning red as he immediately wishes he was anywhere but here.]

I-I mean, I can... take the lead, but I prefer to-- to focus on what makes my partner happy...

[He's a service top, is what he's trying to convey.]
