I'm not well versed into DND lore, so I gotta ask , are drow men canonically submissive and breedable? Is nere just being a brat?
OK OK OKOK OK ok okOK OK ONE YAPPUCCINO COMING UP ☝☝☝☝ (clearly I have been foaming at the mouth to finally get a chance to answer this from the minute you sent it) !!!!
It's like sorta tricky to answer but not really at the same time. So in Drow culture (more specifically: Lolthian cities), men are second-class citizens, and the entire society is matriarchal. Women in all ways are dominant and domineering. They don't really marry, they rarely have relationships (romantic relationships), but they are taught that sex is for your own pleasure and for procreation when the time is right.
Men offer themselves to women, and if she is interested she will take them either for her pleasure or to reproduce (or both) - but she's often not concerned with his pleasure.
WITH THAT BEING SAID: Drow men are, indeed, submissive and breedable, but only because they are raised and expected to be that way. Whether or not that's actually what they prefer/enjoy is another discussion. Keep in mind, they're also likely raised to know that sex is not for their pleasure - so if that's what you're indoctrinated to believe, how many sexual preferences would you really have? It definitely comes down to each individual.
(foaming at the mouth now bc I get to talk about Nere) OKAY NERE Ugh god, my submissive, breedable little brat, Nere. Because men are raised to serve women in Lolthian culture (and he is a Lolth-sworn Drow), leaving Lolth and no longer serving her meant that he did not have to be a part of a matriarchal society anymore and he gained a lot of freedom.
Becoming a leader of any kind as a man who used to be sworn to Lolth is a big deal, so I imagine that becoming a leader within the cult of the Absolute started his power trip. "I'm no longer at the mercy of others, no longer at the mercy of women. Now I lead, and others are at my mercy," is probably the general thought in his head. He definitely has a big head about it by the time you meet him.
extra NSFW thoughts under the break:
Despite how tough and dominating he thinks he is, I know for a fact that the second you let him fuck he would have no idea what to do - and he'd be very clumsy and it'd piss him off. He probably wouldn't even last that long.
If Tav is a woman, especially a Drow woman (Seldarine or Lolth-sworn, doesn't matter), it'd be very easy to make him fold. He'd hate to admit it but even if he's the one that's railing into you, he'd still find it invigorating if you retained your dominance over him; that is, make it clear that he's only fucking you like that because you're allowing him to. Allowing him to fuck you is a privilege that you could take away at any moment; he'd actually hate how intoxicating it was to him, he'd hate how much he loved to be dominated.
