IF UR TRYNA DO SOME KINKY SHIT DONT FORCE HIM BRUH. my poor baby Lyle

He didn’t force him, they had an agreed upon safe word and Lyle’s whole thing is he internalizes things and doesn’t communicate ash can’t read his mind. And Lyle really only hesitated because he wanted to propose to ash lmao I think any other time he’d have been more up for experimenting with ash and he even said in the middle he still loves ash regardless of the goofy ass situation they were in. And the second he realised lyle wasn’t hesitating out of shyness he pulled that stuff away and comforted him. I do think the side stories are silly but it’s still very much their characterization since the beginning of the story.

No that’s how dom/sub play works you have a safe word to willingly say and trust me if you need to say it you will, lyle wasn’t hesitating about the safe word he was hesitating cause ash asked him what was distracting him and lyle was thinking about how he’s been wanting to propose the whole time. If lyle didn’t want to say he was gonna propose and wanted to stop all together he could have said the safeword. He’s a chronic over thinker and he said what was in his mind even tho it embarrassed him, he also is just shy around ash he’s an alpha too that’s part of his complex about not being able to communicate or show his emotions well but he’s open with ash. And ash realized this and felt bad after lyle said it that’s why he completely stopped. It doesn’t matter how in tune ash is with Lyle their dynamic is built this way and ash can’t read minds but he’s always been straightforward about everything he does and he takes care of lyle they just miscommunicate because they have opposite personalities but obviously love eachother over that.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT THERE ISNT THIS STEREOTYPICAL ALPHA TOP-TWINK BOTTOM DYNAMIC BETWEEN THEM!!!!
Most yaoi authors are women who have only a superficial fetishied understanding of gay relationships and gay sex. They are writing something they don't know for the views. To them bottoming is equal femininity and so physicals attributes and mindset reflect that. Glad that's not the case here.
thats tradfujos, we are entering the new yaoi-bl era rn. Theres like a lot of new yaoi mangas and BL manhwas that are twink top x vv masc bottom out there.
its pretty common in any manga and even real life for the top to be bigger than the bottom in gay and straight relationships so idk id say its more common bc its more common and not assume that authors that make their livelihood off creating manga wouldnt know anything about gay relationships just because they are straight women. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
As a gay man I know from my experience and that of all in the community I have talked to. I can safely say I know more than any woman no matter own much of an ally she is. I would agree those authors mean well and know more than general population but they are stuck in the bubble, learn and reinforce with mangas. What percentage of them have gay friends or have gone and talked in person with a gay men even just for research? To make better stories? Not many given the ridiculous characters. You can NEVER tell from someone's physique what they like in bed. I don't know why you would mention straight here, yes men are generally bigger and taller then women but that what I was referring to, they transpose straight paradigm to 2 men and think which is the girl (1rst problem) and the ''girl'' is the smaller one (2e problem). So you kinda made my point.
If we don’t want people assuming things based on stereotypes, then we also shouldn’t assume that someone’s gender or background automatically makes them incapable of understanding.
And yes, you’re right that you can’t tell what someone likes in bed just by looking at them but that’s not just a mistake women make. That’s a stereotype people of all genders fall into. A lot of toxic top gays assumed just because its a twink, they think he bottoms.

I completely agree as a straight woman I would never fully understand what it means to be male or gay you are right there. The size difference comment was wrong as well, even tho i have seen multiple gay couple with an obvious difference in size that does not mean that the smaller one is the bottom so i do agree that i am partial wrong there by assuming that gay men follow the same idea of heterosexuals.
