Who's dominant/who's submissive?
Date: 2019-07-02 01:46 am (UTC)On one hand, Bertie is literally the master, and Jeeves is into being "the perfect servant," so it's easy to argue that if things turned sexual between them, that dynamic would remain. On the other hand, Jeeves is of course very domineering in terms of enforcing his preferences and is the "brains of the operation," the "puppet-master," so to speak. An argument could be made either way based on their personalities, too: Jeeves is more ascetic/masochistic and Bertie is more hedonistic/self-indulgent; however, Jeeves is also more stubborn and self-possessed and Bertie is more timid and compliant. Physically, it's still a wash: I think of Jeeves as larger but Bertie as more athletic.
Personally, I think if I had to choose, I would lean toward Bertie as dominant and Jeeves as submissive, because I like the realness of exploiting/exaggerating the actual dynamics that exist between them, especially enforced due to their class/status difference. I'm glad I don't actually have to choose though!
Obviously there's no final official answer, just wondering how you guys conceive of all this.
