Thank you!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🥹 I’m not entirely sure when and where the puppy jccng agenda started tbh… I think there was a big focus on this dom captain persona from the older atz days, and recently he’s really softened up with the members and how he interacts with them so that probably had some effect. Genuinely, I think hairstyle was also a big factor? He looked so cute with his soft eyes and slightly curly brown hair that this puppy idea just took off. There’s still a massive part of the mctz rpf community that prefers the idea of DILF hj because of his role in the team and the way he used to be firm with the members etc. so sometimes there’s a divide there, but more people enjoy both ☺️ In the context of mctz, obviously he’s younger than SH so that’s already real, but with all those videos of his loser behaviour circling when he’s touching him and how nervous he is to even look SH in the eye, it’s easy for writers to take the idea and run with it. Perhaps a part of it comes from SH being so confident in himself recently too, which inspires the other side of things eg the confident omega and the desperate alpha vying for his attention. I’ve always enjoyed a younger/more desperate top and a more stoic bottom in any fandom I’ve been in hahaha so I think it’s always been around, maybe it just depends on fandoms! Truthfully I’m probably not the best person to ask about this in atz since I only started writing mctz rpf just over a year ago 🥹 I hope that answers your question to a degree? But feel welcome to dm if u wanna talk about it more haha
