But, no seriously, I have been having thoughts about this (and I was writing this in tags and realised I have too many thoughts lmao).

I do think they are both bottoms, but in their relationship, they switch.

I think it plays into their dynamic of fighting for power, fighting against each other, etc.

Plus, Tangerine gives the energy of a man who wants to be seen as a dom and as a top with the way he performs masculinity, but he ultimately isn’t.

I think him letting himself to be more submissive around Court would be fun character development, especially if it comes before proper feelings realisation. I think it could cause Tangerine to spiral about him losing control over their relationship.

Court, meanwhile, doesn’t often sleep around with others in my interpretation, so even just the act of sex is already a vulnerability to him, so he doesn’t care about bottoming.

I think he’s so used to just suppressing his feelings because he doesn’t want anyone connected to him and putting their lives at risk.

Just the mental image of Carl watching Grace get transported after being sedated. A man, who prior to that moment, his most vivid memory consists of them finding world changing discoveries with plywood, duck tape, and copious amounts of sour skittles. A man who he associates with the exhilarating feeling of wonder and life. A teacher teaching, a scientist finding, a man living.

But suddenly, that's not his most vivid memory. Suddenly, what first comes to mind when he thinks of Dr. Ryland Grace is the image of him running away, of chasing him through the compound, of the look on his face when they do inevitably catch up to him. He can't hear the excited laughter of the previous memories without them eliciting the desperate pleas for life.

I wonder if he ever gets to see the videos. How would he feel if he knew that his name was the first one that Grace remembers. Foggy like the thing he misses most about earth.

I was just thinking about you, Kraven.

this is a reference to my all time favorite starstruck fic, "would you come here and spin with me? i've been dying to get you dizzy" by @sseaworn, in which tom wears these fugly ass yellow glasses and the "overworked & underfucked" shirt, like a god damn icon
