“i literally NEVER said anything about gender or gender expression the anons are the ones bringing that up”
I thought that’s why people see Will as a quintessential bottom, no?
People say they can’t imagine him being anything else but I’m confused on what that means then
Like most of the reasons folks give seem to revolve around gendered traits - even the post you reblogged brought up passivity, allegedly not liking to take the lead, etc. all while claiming it’s not about gender
If people shouldn’t subvert expectations, then doesn’t that mean they should keep them?
And what are expectations if not gendered?
I feel like people forget Will has an edge. Like he was actively flirting with Mike in the field, was he not?

ermmmm no? you guys clearly think that since you keep saying it but i never said that. maybe some people have that reason but not universally

YOU are the one identifying these as gendered traits. the post you are referring to described these neutrally just as characteristics will has. it’s not: will has these traits -> these are feminine traits -> will is feminine -> therefore will is a bottom. it’s that will has certain preferences which lend themselves more to that kind of role. them being considered feminine isn’t a part of the thought process. and what do you mean ‘allegedly’?
people seem to have this attitude that sexual preferences must exist in a vacuum completely separate from all other aspects of their life and personality, but when all we have is their personality and theyre fictional i’m confused where you want people to get their reasoning from? you seem to think it must either be completely neutral and they’re both vers or you have to go based on their personality and then just completely flip it? i’m obviously not the best person to exemplify this, but i know that my sexuality is very tied to my personality and psychology my general preferences in life.

i’m not saying you can’t subvert expectations at all, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason behind doing so. i also am not saying anyone HAS to have the same opinion as me at all. i didn’t say ‘nobody should think will would top’ i just said i don’t know why people think that and i disagree. expectations are often gendered, but in this case i am talking about expectations based mostly on personality. both for will and mike.
well the whole point of vibes is they aren’t really based on anything. but maybe the aspects of his character that chloe mentioned 🤷🏻♀️

now this just makes me laugh. an edge? flirting with someone means you have an edge?? 😭 i don’t think being flirty is strictly non-bottom behaviour at all 😭 it’s like how people will use screenshots of mike being attracted to will as proof he wants will to top him 😭 like attraction and flirting in itself is not a signifier of sexual roles, it kinda has to go both ways…
