In the hypothetical case that Ladybug and Tangerine have a relationship, what would their dynamic be like? who is top and who is bottom? or are they switch?

rubbing my hands together so evilly because of this question thank you

some disclaimers first though, this is just how i approach the ship and people are of course allowed to disagree with me! write and think what you want. also personality doesn't equal sexual preference, sex positions are just sex positions, top does not equal dom and bottom does not equal sub. but for the sake of this ask i'm just going to be talking about the dom/sub aspect of their relationship, cause i think it would influence their dynamic. okay lets go.

so i think it's kind of easy to see the emotionally open/softer character as the sub and the angry/more closed off character as the dom (and i have thoughts about this too but that's a different conversation) but these characters are so much more nuanced than that. ladybug is open and emotional, but he's also very protective, very naturally skilled at what he does and he's very levelheaded. he's flexible, he goes with the flow, and in any relationship tangerine needs someone to be able to weather his storm while also knowing when to push back against him, and ladybug can very much do that. their push and pull is what makes the ship work for me, and i think ladybug's emotional openness would only make him a better dom.

ladybug feels out of control often and he should have a space where he's able to take the reins and feel secure in himself, and i think being able to take care of someone would be very emotionally fulfilling to him. in a committed relationship, the trust it would take for someone (especially someone like tangerine, who is intimacy issues galore) to let him in this way would be very touching to him.

on the flip side, tangerine wants to be in control all the time and this is a painful struggle for him. he deserves a place to let that go. his soft interior and his trauma and his hurt and his love and how he struggles to cope with all of it is what draws me to him as a character. he's more than just two fists and he deserves to feel it. i think it would take some time and it wouldn't be easy, but for him to get to a place where he feels comfortable giving up control would also mean a lot to him. (not to mention i just dont think tangerine would be any good at domming at all. like i can imagine in past relationships he has probably tried it, especially with women, but in these situations i think he'd be going at it from the wrong place emotionally and it would not be fun or healthy for anyone. imho.)

basically i think they're both very lonely people but their wants and needs are different, but in alignment. in the book, ladybug has trauma with not being able to protect people and i see it as a major part of why he has that paternal type of struggle with prince when he decides to get back on the train. he has the desire to be caring and gentle with people, that's pretty clear in everything he does, despite his ability to be destructive both accidentally and on purpose. and i think tangerine has the impulse to reject gentleness because it scares him. and i think they both deserve to find a place where they can help each other through these issues.

tl/dr: sub tangerine and dom ladybug all the way for me. thanks for the ask!
