not my usual topic, but today is a dark day for humanity. the US election always has had global repercussions and this time will be no different. I worry for what will happen next.

And for my American followers, I'm sending love from Brazil. I'm sorry. Hang on tight.

Also, I don't think I have any Republican followers, but if I do, fuck off. This blog is not for you. We are pro-LGBT (especially pro-trans!), pro-black, pro-feminism, pro human rights.

I'll refrain from talking further about politics as that's not the topic of this blog, but I needed to make this statement, silence is a form complicity.

May I ask why incest? I don’t mean this rudely. I also find incestuous relationships compelling when done right in literature but I’ve never been brave enough express that. And you have a whole blog dedicated to it! You don’t have to answer if uncomfortable with the ask. I am simply curious.

Why not incest?

It's the ultimate forbidden love trope. From Gilbert Adair's The Dreamers:

"A Romeo and Juliet star crossed not because they belonged to two families but to a single one?"

I have a friend who loves to read alien romances, another who likes yaoi, my mom watches Christmas movies all year long. Everyone has a type of story that it's their preference, and tbh, I wouldn't even say mine is incest. It's one of the topics I like to read about, but not the only one. (If I had to chose between no more incest novels or no more sapphic novels, sorry incest, but I'm taking the sapphics).

I always liked to consume my media through written works, and I noticed that while other incest bloggers (namely @incensuous, @shipcestuous and @asexuelfs) had huge compilations of incest media, there was a lack of books mentioned. When there were books cited, there lacked information on the story. And so I sat out to find and catalogue and summarize incest novels. So that's why the blog. (Also, shout out to @thecloserkin, who was already doing something similar before I came along).

DNI are so funny. I'm having a morality post because for the Zucest post, I used a twitter thread which compiled Zuko and Azula's best moments as a starting point. But the user who made the thread has "pro shippers dni" on their profile. So I suppose I can't credit them? I'm still going to, I used their work, after all. I'm part from academia. If we as much as glance at someone else's work, we cite it.

Imagine if scientists used DNI and then you can't read a paper because the author doesn't agree with your fandom behaviour? This is so fucking silly.

"New celular markers for early cancer diagnosis. DNI: basic dni criteria; if you think Science is better than Nature; if you drink coffee instead of tea; if you think a 32 dating a 29 years old is okay (someone on their thirties has no business dating someone on their twenties! what do they even have in common?"

Guys. I did it. My shipcest community got aproved! It took three attempts, but it's here now . I will finish the set up and discover how to invite y'all onto it. It's not for books or for my followers, i want it to be a general shipcest community.

Edit: i am running it through my main @ivesblosson

Happy Pride Month!!

BTW, in case y'all don't know, this is a LBGT+ inclusive blog, so fuck off if you are transphobe/homophobe/biphobe.

And also fuck off if you are racist. We own Pride to Miss Major and Marsha P. Johnson, two black trans women, and there's no space for racists in Pride nor in this blog.

year 4 of posting this! HAVE FUN

That Incest in the Medieval Imagination book is sending me on a lot of side quests. Now even the Sethians are getting involved....

Just so you all know, if I see your URL in my notifs often enough that I recognize it, I consider you my bestie. We might have never talked, but you're getting invited to my wedding. I remember you folks!

Oh, and those who don't want to interact publicly, remember you can always join the private shipcest community. Just reply or DM to be let in ❤️

The universe keeps sending me signs telling me to do the zucest post...

The only think holding me back is that I don't have the time to rewatch Avatar

[litcest]

I didn't find a shipcest specific ask game, so let's go with a general proship one

Proship ask meme? Proship ask meme.

1.) What is your favorite problematic theme/trope that appears in a lot of your ships?

2.) Are there any problematic tropes that squick you out?

3.) First problematic ship since you joined the proship community?

4.) First ever problematic ship? (you didn't have to know it was problematic then)

5.) Ship you don't think it all that problematic, but the rest of your fandom hates?

6.) Cutest, most vanilla ship you are into.

7.) Ship the antis in your fandom like, but you think is hella problematic?

8.) Ship that is (presented as) cute in canon/fanon, but you think is problematic anyway.

9.) Problematic crackship?

10.) Are there any problematic ships that are your NOTPs?

11.) Darkest fandom you are into?

12.) Least dark fandom that you are into!

13.) Rec a dead dove fic!

14.) Song that reminds you of one of your pairings!

15.) Silliest reason you've been told not to ship a ship.

feel free to send in asks to me (the OP) if you'd like! ^^

OMG I just got to 200 followers! (actually, it's 202, but it was this last notification of new follower that made me go look the follower count and realize I had passed 200).

Thank you so much for each and everyone of you. I think I should do something to celebrate, but IDK what you guys would want. Send in ideas through the ask box, so you can be anonymous if you prefer.

I just... I just love y'all. Thank you for reading my long rants about books!

[litcest]

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. And Happy December 25th to those who don't.

Don't forget to let your beloveds know that they are your present this year. 💚❤️

I think the most interesting aspect of No Human Hands to Touch was not the story itself, but my reaction to it. And by that I mean, I hated it. The sex scene made my skin crawl. I recognized the sheer hypocrisy of defending Chris raping Cathy in Flowers in the Attic, but demonizing Morgause by her actions here. Is it quick for parent x child?

But neither Infanduous or Everything Under, both novels in which the parent has sex with their underage offspring, made my stomach turn like No Human Hands did. But, then again, in those novels the sex was consensual and neither the parent or the child knew that they were related when they had sex.

Maybe it's Morgause delibate manipulation and abuse as well as her lack of remorse. At least Chris apologized. And also the fact that Morgause claims that she was the one who was raped, even though she, without Medraut's consent, initiated the encounter. It is a very gray scenerio.

This has been on my mind since I finished the novel yesterday.
