History Main / AggressiveSubmissive

For the male/male case, this is a [[UsefulNotes/BoysLoveTypes standard]] (although somewhat less common) type of {{Uke}} in BoysLoveGenre works. They're similarly likely to be {{Tsundere}}. Because this is a same-sex variation, the DoubleStandard does not apply, so this trope is generally used in-character. More uncommonly, but still very much present, you will find ''inversions'' of this trope, with an aggressive (or even violent) {{Seme}} who becomes compliant, gentle and subservient to the {{Uke}}'s wishes while in-bed -- playing with the balance of physical and emotional control in the relationship. The exceptions for in-character usage of this trope are again fanworks where canon characters are used for WishFulfillment.[[note]]Or just someone not writing characters well.[[/note]]

* In ''VideoGame/{{Helltaker}}'', the titular character is a ChivalrousPervert 90sAntiHero who goes ToHellAndBack for the sake of building [[AmazonChaser a harem of demon girls]]. After he actually ''gets'' said harem, he quickly becomes a HenpeckedHusband catering to their every whim while trying to [[MoralityChain keep them from terrorizing his neighborhood]] in the process.

* The fourth part of ''[[Literature/TheHistoryOfMiddleEarth Morgoth' Ring]]'' comprises the [[http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Athrabeth_Finrod_ah_Andreth Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth,]] the "Conversation of Finrod and Andreth". Andreth invokes this trope describing her youthful self because of her desire for the elf Aegnor (which he shared, but was unable to return), and implies that this is how all human women are. Finrod was aware of this, as was Aegnor, and he explains that it is not considered acceptable by the Eldar to take advantage of people's desires in that manner. Andreth has some serious trouble accepting this idea.

* ''Literature/MorgothsRing'', has as it's 4th Chapter the [[http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Athrabeth_Finrod_ah_Andreth Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth.]] Andreth invokes this trope describing her youthful self because of her desire for Aegnor (which he shared, but was unable to return), and implies that this is how all human women are. Finrod was aware of this, as was Aegnor, and he explains that it is not considered acceptable by the Eldar to take advantage of people's desires in that manner. Adaneth has some serious trouble accepting this idea.

'''Shera''': ''(flirty giggle)'' Cid! We have guests!

* Forward Submissive: The character ''very'' openly seeks out sex, but wants others to take charge of them--possibly being secretive about the latter part until the last moment.

Note that Administrivia/TropesAreTools - this one can present an interesting dichotomy in a character to explore for drama and CharacterDevelopment. It only becomes off-putting when perpetrated in fanworks upon characters who you'd reasonably expect to [[FetishizedAbuser behave in bed the same way they do in canon]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' has aspects of this. Very little of what he says is serious and much of what he says is outrageous, but with [[UnusualEuphemism y'know, snuggling]] or rather anything vaguely intimate--particularly the rare honest conversation--his dialogue is less amusing and his body language becomes submissive.

* Celty in ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'' is a BadassBiker [[HeadlessHorseman dullahan]] who beats up crooks and saves people, while her boyfriend Shinra is a back-alley doctor with a masochistic streak. She's a ''deredere'' type of {{Tsundere}} and he enjoys verbally provoking her, which often leads to her wrapping him in shadows as punishment. However, Shinra says "At night, Celty's actually like a little bunny--" which immediately causes her to try and shut him up because she's [[TooMuchInformation practically dying of embarrassment from having their sex life discussed in a room full of people]].

* In ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' we have Silver Mantis, the NumberTwo of Black Scorpion - one of the CoDragons of the BigBad. Silver Mantis and Black Scorpion are in a BDSM relationship and enjoy testing the limits of their cybernetic frames with each other via massive amounts of what would otherwise be deadly force during sex. While Silver Mantis is a psychopathic BloodKnight in the field, she very enthusiastically is the submissive in her relationship with Black Scorpion.

* Many fanworks featuring VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} fall into this trope. Entertainingly, this was the major [[RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions complaint]] that [[Creator/HidekiKamiya the creator]] had about Rule 34 involving her - not that it existed, but that she tended to be portrayed in the submissive role, and the fandom actually reacted by making her the dominant one more frequently.

* Played darkly in the ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' fanfic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11578792/1/Shatter Shatter]]. Cia breaks Link down into her personal plaything through weeks of mental and sexual abuse, but bottoms both times they're shown having sex.
