guys if karlyle genuinely did hate it he would've put a stop. He avoids things a lot however he has shown that if he genuinely doesn't want to do it or has a boundary he will reject it. plus karlyle trusts ash and ash would never hurt karlyle on purpose every single time he has it was pure accident and they always came to the misunderstanding idk why some of you act like they're in a abusive relationship when they figure out each others problems

not to be an asshole but the finale of the main story was literally ash hurting karlyle on purpose (fucking him unconscious multiple times, ignoring karlyle begging to stop, saying things that upset lyle and then admitting he meant everything he said, admitting he meant to/had no guilt about knotting lyle despite lyle begging him to stop and fainting)
like. in this chapter they have a safe word now and that’s a great improvement. i would argue (as a queer man who practices bdsm) that lyle might be the type to be too worried about upsetting ash to safeword since he struggles to talk about his feelings so much.

ah, just to clarify my point here is that, i think it’s reasonable for people to be nervous after a scene like that. obviously the story itself refuses to acknowledge that the rut scene was unhealthy, like the audience is supposed to think it’s okay/hot. and while normally rut scenes depict the alpha as being out of control, ash’s comments after the scene make it seem like he was pretty aware and in control the entire time.
