We went from wondering wondering slowly for 90 chapters how the world works .. and then in the last 5 they were like, "so, this is what's happening, let's get going!" I was fine with the slow approach, this is really jarring.
When she finds out he did this on purpose, there should be serious consequences. I didn't come here for toxic relationships, I came for loving female dominance. And then the prince is actually trash. It's not submission to intentionally hurt your domme to get spanks
Yeah that was a shitty thing to do. ESPECIALLY right after the situation with her brother. Bro is only thinking of himself and his kinks.
You forgot that he's a Brat sub. His behavior is very much consistent. Being toxic is his all mojo. He wants pain and humiliation, he's going to do whatever he has to to get it.
Being a brat does not equal being an asshole
In a modern day BDSM relationship, being a brat and the top being a brat tamer is negotiated. He knows more than his wife about the lifestyle. He's taking advantage of her ignorance and her heart to get a punishment. I can want him to suffer real consequences, the threat of the end of the relationship, for his actions here. This isn't supposed to be the way it works in a HEALTHY female led relationship
He's been an asshole his whole life. His personality is shitty since the beginning... That's why I said that being toxic is his all mojo. He's a toxic brat sub that's going to do whatever he can to get the result he wants... Courtney is just the unfortunate victim that is being groomed to be "cruel"
I think you've been reading with pink grasses on. This story has NEVER been shown to be about a HEALTHY relationship.... I think you need to take the glasses of, empty your mind of expectations and read it all again to understand the story. Courtney was chosen for her potential for rage since her family dinamic was not healthy at all...
The prince went specifically for Courtney after he saw her lash out at her family in an event. Her rage and willingness to beat her brother up was the reason the prince went after her. NOT HEALTHY AT ALL
It has been healthy this entire time. He picked her for her spark, and they carefully navigated that energy before the wedding went through to make sure expectations were level. He's let her explore at her pace and been stupendously glad when she enjoyed it too and even looked into adding more on. I think my gaze has been accurate. I still believe the narrative from loving femdom shifting over to toxic crap I wouldn't recommend to anyone is abrupt.
I seriously don't see that. Yes they've been pacing HER introduction to it but HE SAID SHE WAS PREGNANT TO HIS FATHER SO HE COULD MARRY HER.... HE PICKED HER BECAUSE SHE WAS ALREADY LIVING IN RAGE AND HE'S JUST DIRECTING IT TO HIM BECAUSE HE KNEW SHE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER NEFEW... HE'S BEEN MANIPULATIVE THE ENTIRE TIME... So I really really really struggle to see the healthy dinamic you're referring to.
I feel like this material may not be aimed at your audience? Because I'm in the BDSM lifestyle and I don't see what you're seeing. Let's just agree to disagree at this point.
Honestly interesting debate you two have going on , I can see both sides. I was more on op side because they did seem to have a healthy relationship , and he tried when it came to her. That's why it was so baffling to me this moment , he intentionally hurt her.
And about her rage , I thought he picked her for her potential, like he sensed her tendencies.And every time before a play he kinda prepared her ,with books ,information, or just a peak at what he wants.And he got CONSENT every time until now.
Ok. Agree to desagree.
