Hii can you help me understand something? I see a lot of posts like "mnh is not the dark dom you think he is no matter what, he's a silly guy" and I'm really confused about it... can't he be a silly random boy AND be a dom?? I don't know where people have ever said he has misterious or serious aura here, we all know he's a weird loser, no? Where are the people who claim otherwise? I'm so cunfused😭
Like unless we are talking about some ff AUs where he's idk an old vampire, and you have to sort of adapt the caracter, but that's just heavy fiction and happens to any member (in those rare cases they are more like and inspo)
But when talking about the REAL mnh, people thinking he might be a dom does not mean they think he's not also a cutie. I've never seen people not seeing that side of him tbh. Or have I been missing some lore here?? Pls help me understand
"he's a weird cute little cat" ok?? and he can still fuck or ride or fucking whatever jisvng to gates of heavens?? No hate really just pure confusion

hi mousie.

i think a lot of it simply comes down to people's preferences. if you're a mnh bias but you don't like darker fic, bdsm stuff or just seeing mnh as a dom in general, then you're more likely to feel like those kinds of depictions are mischaracterised. and vice versa. if the kind of mnh content they you enjoy is when he is being silly and goofy and cute, then they're more likely to see that in their feeds (because we all curate them to our tastes) and less likely to see other content where it might suggest another aspect of his personality. or if you do see it, you're less likely to read it that way.

i do think ff is different. as you say au fics can cause you to change up how you write them as a character. but just in general a writer will take liberties with how they write a character to fit their narrative or what they find fun/exciting. so sometimes you might get a fic where you are only seeing a darker more dominant side to mnh's personality. and thats ok imo! thats the beauty of writing and then you can always click away, or filter out certain tags, if its not to your taste.

i like it when people incorporate both mnh's weirdness and his more dominant/possessive side - and i love to see the different ways people do that. i think thats good writing. that includes for me when people do write him with a mysterious and serious aura. like its the beauty of ff to me to see the different ways people will characterise their personalities. if i think its totally mis-characterised, or otherwise not to my personal tastes, i just click away.

and tbh i think there can be a lot of confusion in general about d/s relationships. not all sex in them needs to be a scene, d/s aren't synonymous with t/b, some people switch ect. if there is a general belief you can't be a dom in the bedroom and a goofball on the streets that doesn't surprise me.

i agree, that you can be a silly goofy guy and be a dom. they definitely aren't mutually exclusive. i will be honest and say i've not seen much discussion of real mnh being/not being a dom so i can't respond to that directly. i think a lot of this comes down to all of us being in our own echo chambers online.
