Agree, #taesansubbottom is really hot thing, but I've never seen any authors making it without mischaracterization (( TS didn't listen his parents, he ignored his own mother even when he was 3 y.o. Trainee TS was strong-willed enough to impress Sungho. RW said about him 'he is able to tame his hyungs' (WhatDoor Beach/Mud episode). SH compared his bad mood with the 'change of gravity'. But AO3 authors write TS as a person who becomes a sub easily and gives control without any issues. I just don't believe.
let’s start by saying that for me it is not that deep, i mean i believe the author can always has some freedom in the building of the character but i get what you’re asking so i’ll give you my opinion <3
taesan is not an easy person, so when you say he will not ‘give up’ so easily i completely agree with you: we often see how playful he is and how he loves teasing others cause that is one of his ways through he can manifest his affection.
we heard a lot about his childhood stories too (him staying out in the cold cause he didn’t want to apologize to his father or him saying to his own mother “yes ma’am, you’ll not be my mother anymore” cause he didn’t want to eat eggplant) and did we have any doubt that he wasn’t an easy kid? absolutely not.
he also said “i didn’t have a phase where i was a bad kid/teen, i just had a bad personality”.
so no, he prob wouldn’t be a sub easily (?), he needs a lot of time cause he needs to feel comfortable enough in order to show his weak and vulnerable side that he always tries to hide.
