Oh, Heroes. I honestly think you must be the best show on television right now. And yet... the incest. Why must there be SO MUCH INCEST, Heroes? It is all over the place, oh my God! SIGH. Supernatural, too! That seems like it must be a good show, and Jared and Jensen are smokin', and I would totally bother with the fingers-over-my-eyes hiding-behind-the-couch thing to deal with the horror (me + scary = non-mixy things), were it not for the incest. I've gotten to the point lately where I frequently find myself directing petulant monologues at people about how I JUST DON'T LIKE INCEST, and yes, I feel like that is a valid lifestyle choice, and no, I couldn't deal with Last Will and Testament, either. I JUST DON'T LIKE IT, YOU GUYS. (At this point most people try and change the subject, often unsuccessfully.)
I think the problem is that I see the incest! My slashy little heart understands the chemistry! But I can't deal with it at all, because it is my hugest squick ever. (Maybe my hugest squick ever is actually, um, poo, or something, but that doesn't seem to come up that often, so we'll just stick with incest for now.) OT3s are something I'm not into, but I think I never really buy into the subtext as much as with incest so it doesn't bother me as much. Whereas with plausible incesty pairings, I just squiiiirm the whole time I'm watching, and Christ, forget reading fanfic. God damn it, awesome writers, actors, and fangirls! Why must you lead where I cannot follow?
P.S. Liking incest is a totally valid lifestyle choice too, I GUESS, JEEZ. But if you're a good writer and you're spending your precious skills on incest that I CAN'T READ, it will still make me sad a little bit in my heart. I'm not mad that people like incest, I'm mad that I don't and so I can't enjoy all the awesome writing that happens over in that neck of the woods. Which is not anyone's fault but GOD'S, that h8ter. Maybe we can still be friends, though? Especially if you write me some porn wherein the participants share minimal DNA? ETA: Share minimal DNA, while still being members of the same species. Oh, my flist, how often I underestimate you. *facepalms*

Oh honey, now I want to write you like, Rodney/Paramecium or something.

If you write me Rodney/Paramecium I will... actually, I cannot predict my reaction! I will either laugh my ass off or shoot you in the face. Do with that information what you will.

You know you'd love it!

P.S. Hey guess what Petrelli brothers please step more than six inches away from each other thanks
(no subject)
Because The Black Donnellys.
In which there is one canon unrequited het OTP, and otherwise ALL the lead characters are pretty and slashy and BROTHERS. It's worse than SPN, even, because there are twice as many pretty brothers to worry about.

The only reason I'm still on board with Heroes is that a) there are lots of non-Petrelli plotlines and characters, and a few really pure non-sexual familial relationships and b) I started watching before I knew there would be incest, and now I'm hooked on the plot. Black Donnellys: your charms will never sway me. Witness the fact that I'm still not in SPN fandom, even though I'm in J2 fandom.
Oh, well. Incest, why must I hate you so? I would ask you to be friends, except I hate your face.

Also I think maybe I'm just a bad person because as soon as you said "share minimal DNA" I started thinking about wayhot alien!sex and of course that led me to "Mostly Harmless" (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/MostlyHarmless.html) and I'm not sure that's any less wrong at all.
(no subject)
OMG, NOT YOU TOO! I am ETAing this post to read "share minimal DNA and are members of the same species," because I clearly failed to consider all the sick fucks on my flist. Rodney/Paramecium indeed. *vbg*

I mean, I see it. Duh, I see it. But it's just not that convincing for me. I think it's because the writers are being a little too obvious with their "playing to the slashers" subtext. The antiquers scene? um yeah, that's not a glaringly obvious nod to wincest or anything.
It doesn't really feel like incest to me because it's kind of become a "FIND THE HOMOEROTIC SUBTEXT" play-at-home game rather than just pure chemistry. So when they're not being overtly gay in a nod to the slashers they actually seem to have a disturbingly normal relationship given their circumstances.
So I guess what all this adds up to is: watch for teh pretty, play along with the J2, but as brothers their relationship is not deranged enough for them to fuck
(no subject)
No, I mean, okay, I get that. I guess it's just that I would always be, like, WANTING to read the fic, but I couldn't, because of incest! And I'm really really not into horror, so I feel like I would be braving my way through watching SPN for the fic, and if there's that whole "I keep noticing the incest slash" thing getting in the way of my enjoyment as WELL as the scary movie thing, it seems like it wouldn't be worth it. To me. I don't know. I don't need another TV show, okay!
(no subject)
I think I'd get wigged out by what I imagine Supernatural incest to be, which is "2 pretty boys fucking! Who cares that they're brothers, let's make them in love!"
Incest is generally a squick of mine, and in the "let's pretend it's not an issue" sense it's even more of a squick. But I do read squickfic which is there to make you uncomfortable but turned on - like Lolita to the degree of fandom. Because it's all like Compelling Self Exploration! + Fabulously Fucked Up Characters! and in that genre, if you were presented with a happy and in love wincest story there would be this lovely dark undertone making everything seem slightly off and wrong, and that I'd totally read. I just don't want to read the inevitable self-gratification fic featuring incest.
LOL! it's practically finals week, of course you need another TV show! How else are you going to shamelessly put off studying and writing papers?
Watch it, don't watch it, personally I find the red carpet/interview photos of J2 far more interesting. NON-SQUICKY SLASH POTENTIAL, HUZZAH!
(ps re: scary things - you wuss! XP I only squeeled and fell backward on my bed because of the scary like, once per episode....
(no subject)
I think I just really have an aversion to dark, squicky-feeling things, no matter what. Even in the context of my socially-unacceptable kinks or lack-of-squicks (for instance, I pretty much never ever care about underage, at all, to any extent), I depend on the fic being basically pretty angst free. It's okay if there's, like, incidental, plot-driven angst, but unless there's a pretty happy ending (or it's a PWP), I'm not really interested. I guess in my heart of hearts, I'm pretty much a happy-fluffy-bunnies-and-love kind of girl. Which, well, there might be worse things to be.
YAY FOR J2. If I could not slash those two boys together in some way, I think I'd cry myself to sleep.
I DO NOT LIKE HORROR MOVIES OKAY. There have been, like, three separate occasions when I was over at Meela's place and her friend said, "Hey, let's watch Scream!" And I said NO. And he said, it's not even that scary! And I said NO THANK YOU PLEASE THANKS. It is a valid lifestyle choice!

this ETA has made my morning. ehehe!
i feel firefly fandom has the best titled incest pairing, what with their Crazy Space Incest aka CSI. not that incest is a thing i like reading about on the whole. though, okay, the royal tennenbaums constututes an exception to that.
(no subject)
Hee, true enough! I have to say that watching Firefly, I sometimes find myself covering my eyes and yelling at the screen, "NO, Simon! Say no to freaky space incest! Kaylee and Mal and Jayne are ALL HOT: take your pick, and please stop with the naked-sister-hugging and the yearning looks."
(no subject)
See, I'd rather not see incest in Firefly either, but I totally do, so much, so a few times I've read fic or watched vids (and I have an icon) because I want outside reassurance that other people see it too, because they put it there, and it's not just all in my own sick mind. You know?
Here, just for you, I WON'T use the icon.

I just - I have a brother? And there's a whole world of gut-reaction NOOOOOOO! with accompanying hands over eyes, rocking back and forth humming to myself that goes along with the entire incest idea.
I sort of feel the same way about RPF, but I'm slowly fighting my way through it. Damned squicks, getting in the way of my porning.
(no subject)
It's definitely a pretty normal thing to get off a little bit on the squickyness itself, because lots of people do, but I just, I don't at all. I'm not sure that this extends to printed literature, though, for me, because I very much enjoyed Middlesex. Maybe it's just that I don't expect literature to be trying to turn me on? I feel like that's actually one of the flaws of "literature" in general, that it's so careful not to turn its readers on, whether that manifests itself as not including sex scenes at all, or including uncomfortable, bad, unsexy sex scenes (hello, 98% of contemporary novels). Nabokov and DH Lawrence are notable exceptions to this rule, and hey, look at how they got banned all over the place. /random-ass tangent
So my point is, maybe I should try Melusine.

For what it's worth,

I can handle scary/thriller, though. I scream and then I'm over it. What I really can't handle is gore. Even implied gore gets me - like blood on the wall shots. Also, tension building shots. Those scenes that go on forever that practically shout "something bad will happen very soon, and it will be unpleasant and squicky and horrific and you will watch it! Very soon!"

But honestly, I tried to be good with heroes! I stayed away from Nathan/Peter. I tried shipping Claire/Peter from when he saved her!!
...And then I read the spoilers. It's attracted to me! I have no say in the matter!!
Also, your moodtheme is so completelytotallyawesome! How did you manage it?

OMG I KNOW. Heroes, what are you doing! You took the only other viable ship on your show, and made it incest too! SIGH.

I was so depressed when I found out that they were related. Peter only just saved her over here in Aus, so I thought I'd be good and just ship them, but nooo! *hmf* lol.
Thankyou!! Once I learn properly how to upload a custom mood theme (I've tried numerous times and failed abysmally =) i shall use!

I must admit from looking through your userinfo, you have quite good taste in fandoms, so I'll trust your judgement lol =D
