yes :)

a real sentence i JUST read on ao3 was "BRASE IS NOT INCEST WHEN THEY ARE NOT RELATED."

cue insanely loud incorrect buzzer.

this is a whole essay on how brase and marse (among others I'm assuming) are not incest simply if you put "this is an au :)" in the tags.

the argument is "they never canonically said they're siblings in the show so it's okay to assume they're not."

erm did you watch the show?

head canons are one thing. great. amazing even, love them. but if you're using head canons to "justify" yourself shipping children who are obviously siblings (even if not by blood but are RAISED siblings) and using that basis to write fics where they fall in love or DO THE DIRTY. that is insane. and perverted. and you need to have a good long look in the mirror and rethink everything you've ever done until this point in your life.

it gets genuinely insane too. I've seen the tag Adam/Chase/Donald MORE than once.

not to mention how much smut is in this fandom when they're obviously children (talking to the ones BASED on episodes).

cause smut is fine, write it in the future with characters that like they could actually get with I guess?

but if you're basing it on an episode in season 1 between canonically siblings- that's crazy!

I can't believe I APPLAUDED a person for putting the tag "not incest just sibling love" as if that was an amazing thing for putting two SIBLINGS in the same fic and only using their love for each other in a platonic/familial sense.

having to specify that you're not shipping them because they're siblings is like BELOW THE BARE MINIMUM. it's crazy we even have to be doing that.

erm anyway if you disagree argue with the wall. not my fault I don't believe in wanting to see siblings kiss each other.
