>>4839>Lord/retainer>Mentor/mentee>Characters who are like visual mirror images or counterparts, especially hero/villain ones>Power couples>Rivalships>Age gap>Monsterboy/human, I especially like a guy with a monster on a leash under his control by some contract like SebaCiel>Plain dude/hot dude (hot dude is simp for plain dude, plain dude is unimpressed with hot dude or oblivious)I like reverse so I'm usually not picky about who bottoms/tops, but I usually have a preference towards balancing out the power dynamic. Like, if one guy raised the other, I'll probably prefer him bottoming, but it's not a hard and fast rule.
There are also some dynamics, like human guys topping monsters or heroes domming villains, that I'm more keen on seeing just because of how rare they are, even if I like the roles in reverse just as well.
I think I have some more rules of thumb:
>The more obnoxious a guy is, the more I want him to get his ass destroyed>The sadder, older (including immortals) and angstier a guy is, the more I want him to get his ass destroyed, preferably by a much younger guy >Smug sluts, S types, and mentors are great for power bottoming
