Today's problematic ship is Simon Tam and River Tam from Firefly

Brother/sister incest

Requested by anonymous

[shipcestuous]

Y'know that scene in "Ariel" where Simon Tam finds out they stripped River's amygdala and she literally cannot repress her feelings?

I imagine a scene after that where Simon admits to himself that basically he's been repressing his incestuous feelings and asking River to do the same. But — with that stripped amygdala — maybe that's an unfair thing to ask of her. Maybe this has to be the end of trying to repress this.

Ooh, I like that a lot.

I can see how he would see that it's unfair to her and maybe have to reconsider how he's handling the situation.

If she can't not feel it, then what's fair?

Maaaaaaaaan I know Firefly/Serenity are old as balls by now, but boy does it make me sad seeing how little Crazy Space Incest there is in the tumblr tags :')

[just-antithings]

I'm so sad that the tamcest community (firefly) has mind of died out bc the show is so old.... Its SUCH a good pairing if you vibe with incest ships they're so! The "light it." moment ALONE is enough to make you ship it, let alone all their other interactions

👀👀👀👀

They’re gone. We’re safe now, we’re safe, I’m here.

[dontjudgesomeonebytheirblog]

Please don’t judge me for this...

I really wanna do a thread that intersects a few things that I’ve found are pretty rare in the RP community: Incest, Firefly/Serenity, and diapering. I want to do a thread with Simon and River with Simon acting as a Caregiver to River and them helping each other with their tensions.

Lodessa: A Fic Retrospective - Timehop for May 12th

11 Years Ago

Title: Bitter Aftertaste

Fandom: Firefly/Serenity

Rating: General

Word Count: 402

Characters/Pairings:  Simon Tam, River Tam (Simon/River if you so choose), other Tam family members.

Posted: May 12th, 2006

Summary: “Primavera. River was springtime and the Tam estate seemed barren without her laughter. Ashes and dust as the world became grayscale where once it had been bright.”

Author’s Notes: Oh man, this was when I was still classy and succinct with all my mythological allusions, before I gave into the spirit of smut.  Anyway. I feel like I really packed a lot into these few hundred words about the Tam family in general as well as Simon and River specifically.

If I ever see another Tamcest shipper I am going to drown them though, regardless of how I ultimately end up feeling about Firefly

[holyfreaks]

not enough simon/river fanfic. guess I need to be the change I want to see in the world

Crazy Space Incest & Anicent Egyptian Mythology (Submission)

In Firefly, Simon and River Tam come from a planet called Osiris. The parallels between the Tams and Osiris in myth have not been overlooked—there are a few fics that make the mythological allusion. (Including one I wrote.) In Egyptian mythology, Osiris is the god of the afterlife. He’s married to his sister Isis, who is the goddess of healing, magic, and families. And she was the awesomest wife ever. Set tricked Osiris into lying down in a box, then killed him and nailed the coffin shut. The box was swept far away, to Greece. Isis refused to accept this, and she searched for Osiris until she found him, even though it took years. She took the box back to Egypt, to the Nile, and opened it. She fixed him, but then Set came back and killed Osiris again. This time he chopped him up and scattered him all over Egypt. Isis gathered up and the pieces and fixed him anyways. But even though she did her best, he couldn’t be quite alive after that. So he became the god of the afterlife. The parallels to Simon and River are pretty obvious.

Absolutely refusing to give up on them, even though finding them—let alone saving them—seems almost impossible.

A person not-quite-dead and sealed in a box.

Trying desperately to fix them, but being unable to make them quite as they were before, despite being a great healer.

These parallels are striking, and because Osiris is the name of their home world, I think it might deliberate. Also, because Simon and River aren’t a canon ship, I find this parallelism kind of affirming, since Osiris and Isis

are

canon. It’s not like Joss (the show’s creator) was

unaware

of the possible ship between Simon and River. Sometimes it even seems like he shipped it.

Wow, I had no idea! I think the parallels must certainly have been intentional, even if Whedon isn’t necessarily saying that they ought to get married and be a couple. But I do still think they have a suggestive meaning. And I think maybe he did ship it, a little. He’s had a lot of questionable but not entirely satisfying sibling pairs in his oeuvre. And there’s more than one moment between River and Simon that plays with incest a little. 

Awesome analysis, and I’m so glad you shared this with us because I DIDN’T KNOW!

Zuko led Azula to the Dragons, in order to dragons to cure her madness. He run risks very much. If the Dragons decided to kill her, Zuko will die too. Not mine. But I wanted to know your thoughts

Neat fanart, touching but depressing idea. Reminds me of one my favorite episodes of Firefly, with Simon deciding that, if he can't save his sister, he will be burned at the stake with her so they won't be separated again
