so these artworks are clearly counterparts to each other, and they depict Callie and Marina as valentines gift givers and Marie and Pearl as the gift recipients.

two, if I may ask, what made you get into the incest shipping? I’m not trying to be rude or degrading I’m genuinely curious.

My AO3 is private as it's associated with my general accounts. As for what got me into it, I don't exactly remember what my first incest ship was. I think it was Chili x Cress from Pokemon. The Fire and Water two of the triplets. I don't know if the blog still exists, but a long time ago I found a really interesting blog that shipped them and had art. It took place in the anime universe, and explored a bit on if they were open to other gym leaders, and Cilan's reaction to finding out they were together. And it was right in the middle of my baby gay "omg these characters are the same gender and in love and are figuring themselves out and need to hide their relationship from a disapproving society" phase. So seeing how incest could add to that "forbidden relationship" trope was like a galaxy brain moment for me. As for some of my other earliest incest ships: Despaircest (Junko x Mukuro from Danganronpa). I shipped it prior to the DR3 anime, but I didn't really deeply ship it. It was more of an exception since their whole character was "How can we be as morally bankrupt as possible and still make it worse." So it felt more like an accurate exploration of their characters. Aohota (Callie x Marie from Splatoon). I didn't really think about this one too hard. I got into the fandom around when splatoon 3 came out, and in that game was a cutscene that had a shot of Callie leaping into Marie's arms. And my god, the smiles on their faces, the look in their eyes. I was borderline thinking about it before I saw that, and that moment dragged me under.

Trupollo (Trucy x Apollo from Ace Attorney). I have posts explaining why I ship them. But I forget what made me start because I was a Klapollo shipper, and I shipped Trucy with Pearl because I just kinda didn't know who else to put her with. I think I eventually realized that even if I shipped Klapollo, I liked Trucy with Apollo more than I did with Pearl, and caved in. A win for being a multishipper.
