• bottoms that think and/or act like they’re the top and the top is their little wife. this is always funny
• obsessive bottom/top that is initially confused or put off by this behavior but becomes embroiled in it
• GUILT! when a character wants another character in a way that they know is wrong or wanting to do things to them that they might dislike and having to restrain themselves to remain by their side. in general i really like it when characters essentially torture themselves over their feelings haha
• love that terrifies: loving someone so much that you live in constant terror of losing them or fearing the power that they hold over you
• love that humiliates: discarding your pride or committing social suicide to be with someone. looking stupid moving crazy etc. beyonce sang about this once
• "I wished to seem odious, inhuman to you. I sought your hate, the better to resist you. How have those useless efforts brought success? You hated me more: I did not love you less." — Phædra, Act II Scene 5
