I'm with you there on preferring bottom!Alastor and getting squicked out by top!Alastor. The squick is worse for me when searching radioapple than radiostatic stuff, and I think it has more to do with the egregious amount of uke-fication of Lucifer that I've seen. Vox and Al get it sometimes too, let's be real that's gonna happen in any mlm ship. But I feel like it happens SO often to Lucifer, mostly cause he's small and cute, that people completely forget he's the oldest and most powerful entity in hell.
He would NOT be genuinely scared or intimidated by Al or any other sinner for that matter and Al would NOT be able to physically overpower or threaten Luci. It just feels so wildly out of character for me that any of the appeal of the ship/characters is gone at that point.
Like, for real, no shade to anyone that likes that, go on and get your food. But my extreme dislike of it has me now avoiding bottom!Lucifer radioapple like the plague just so I don't risk being subjected to it.
I think...I think you just described why I feel so squicked out by bottom!Lucifer and top!Alastor 😦 Like, I couldn't figure out what exactly about it was throwing me off, but you just said it perfectly!!
That's literally it! It's the uke-fication of Lucifer. That's it. Lucifer would never feel threatened by Alastor. He would never be overpowered by Alastor. So when I see depictions of Alastor successfully intimidating Lucifer, or overpowering him at all, it just throws me out of the story.
Lucifer's been alive longer than Hell. Alastor's measely 100+ years of being alive is nothing compared to his millennia+ lifespan. And yeah, Lucifer is the strongest person in Hell, he could beat Alastor in any fight, no question. He has no reason to be scared or threatened by him.
And look, there are ways to get Lucifer to a point of being afraid. There are always a way to make characters act in a way you wouldn't typically see. In fact, Lucifer, the biggest, baddest person in Hell, being threatened by something would be a huge thing for his character and for the story. That could totally work!
But when it comes from Alastor just going into his demon form, or looming over Lucifer, I just 🥲 it takes me out of the story. I can't. Alastor may be a big bad Overlord, and he's dangerous for sure, but like...power-wise he is just not on Lucifer's level and Lucifer knows that--Alastor knows that--and this is what makes their dynamic so, SO interesting, especially if they're in a relationship or slowly building into a relationship. That's what makes it so spicy and flavorful. The push and pull. The insecurity and emotion. The complex dynamic between them.
I think you're right about it making bottom!Lucifer and top!Alastor lose its appeal. I went back through my Twitter bookmarks yesterday and found a few top!Alastor's & bottom!Lucifer's that I've saved, but I've come to dislike that generalized characterization of it so much that I avoid it it like the plague too.
And like you said, there's no hate to those who enjoy it. This is fandom and people are allowed to write, draw, and do what they want. It's all fiction and it's not hurting anyone.
I just don't like the top!Alastor & bottom!Lucifer dynamic in most fan-arts, and I don't click onto fics with it cause I just don't want to subject myself to an unenjoyable time 😂 I'm here to have fun too, afterall.

The part that annoys me the most about Glorybringer as a whole is how violently out of character Glory acts while around Deathbringer.
Glory is characterized as a level-headed, yet reasonably suspicion person. She doesn't take things at face value and generally always has her guard up. She has a low tolerance for things she finds annoying and will often just exit the situation if it's not enjoyable in the slightest.
So...tell me why does she instantly fall for Deathbringer? She lacks any sort of rational thought and just sort of mindlessly banters with him. Her personality is reduced to simply 'quirky sacrasm' so that they can flirt with each other. It gets even worse when it's revealed that Deathbringer was originally sent to kill them and is now targeting Blaze. Glory, you've literally KILLED dragons over less. Why is this one NightWing an exception?
"Oh its because she loves him–" she had ONE conversation with him where he did nothing but incessantly flirt and bother her. I don't know how else to tell you this, but Glory wouldn't fall for a guy like that at all; at least not within the first conversation and ESPECIALLY after learning he's an assassin and is now trying to kill them.

im sorry but just how boring and unimaginative you should be as a person to unironically root for ted and rebecca to become a couple in the finale
thats literally the WORST thing that could happen in my opinion
its just so bleak and such a bad outcome for both characters’ arcs
it so rare in media to see a platonic bond between male and female characters this good WHY would you want to ruin it with some heteronormative bullshit???
