I've been tracking responses to the spn_masquerade meme, and one thing I've noticed about the art fills, as well as the fics, is that a big part of what seperates bottomJared fans from those like me who can't even imagine Jared topping is the way we tend to see Jared.
For example,when I think Jared, I think this guy:
Square wide jaw, big uber masculine caveman physique, overbearing, strong, perfectly suited to manhandle others and look like the big scary or protective top, depending on what I'm in the mood for.
When bottom Jared fans imagine Jared though, they seem to be seeing this guy:
Well that or even younger.
It gets pretty weird for me, whenever I see people describe Jared as 'oh so pretty', or having Jensen call him 'little one', because it instantly pulls me out of a fic, because that's just not even remotely close to what I see when I think of Jared.
Now to be fair, I'll occasionally see Jensen like this guy:
Though most of the time, I do realize that he's closer to this:
Yet when bottomJared or bottomCas fans describe him, he ends up more like this guy:
Only bigger, tougher and more controlling.(sorry it took me a while to find a pic of Jensen that came even close to what Jared's fans seem to see Jensen as)
Which kinda makes it hard for me to get in a lot of their fics.

I can't really speak to J2 dynamics since I don't read it very often, but as far as their characters? I can't see Sam as anything but the dom/top in any relationship he's in.
Dean, I can see going either way depending on the relationship. With Sam, I see him as more submissive, while with Cas, I see him as more dominant. *shrugs*
But either way... every last one of those pics is just lovely. :P

Sam doesn't have a submissive bone in his body, mostly because he's been looking for some control in his life since he was a kid. Combined with pretty much every sex scene we've seen with Sam since s1, I tend to think that he prefers rough sex, with him in charge. The only person I could ever read him bottoming for, is Lucifer, and even then in a dub-connish, non-connish way, because Lucifer would be messing with his head.
Cas, well I see him as a switch, though I prefer reading him as a top, because he's more interesting to me as a BAMF, than as the woobie he tends to become in most bottomCas fics. In this case it's not so much the char as shown on the show, as the way that he gets twisted in fanon. With bottomCas fans turning him into this sweet woobie who has nothing to do with the Castiel as he was actually shown to be on spn. (that and I really dislike the way that bottomCas fans tend to write Dean.)
