Cesty Hallmark Movies: You're My Present This Year

Another of the Hallmark movie ideas, this one.. well, I had to do it, didn't I? (Usual disclaimers, AI art and poor graphic design):

As much as he infuriated her, Evie's house just hasn't been the same since her big brother Adam left for the military, and the prospect of another holiday worrying about him is making this Christmas seem decidedly less merry. But things turn around when he suddenly shows up Home for the Holidays, surprising her one snowy morning. Her parents knew--that must have been why they waited up all night--but didn't tell her because everyone wanted to see the shocked expression on her face. Unfortunately, he's not back for good… there's only two weeks leave until he ships off again… but Evie's determined to make this Christmas memorable for him. She might not get him to go AWOL, but she wants to be sure he'll remember he's got something to come home to.

"In none of the numerous despatches of the day is this suspicion mentioned, although in a private letter of Malipiero's, dated Rome, June 17, 1497, and in one of Polo Capello's reports, allusion is made to the "rumor" regarding the criminal relations of Don Giovanni and his sister. Could the fact that Lucretia never engaged in any love intrigue—at least she is not charged with having done so—with anyone else, when there were in Rome so many courtiers, young nobles, and great cardinals who were her daily companions, have given rise to these reports? It is a fact that nothing has been discovered which would indicate that this beautiful young woman ever did engage in any love affair. Even the report of the ambassador, who, writing to Ferrara, not from Rome but from Venice, states that Lucretia had given birth to a child stands alone. She had at that time been separated from her husband Sforza a whole year. But even if we admit that this rumor was well founded, and that Lucretia did engage in some illicit love affair, are not these relations and slips frequent enough in all societies and at all times? Even now nothing is more readily glossed over in the polite world." — Lucretia Borgia, According to Original Documents and Correspondence of Her Day, Ferdinand Gregorovius (January 1, 1904)

an AU where Cesare and Lucrezia run away in season 1, before her wedding. I'm especially interested on them having a sort of secret wedding and of course their wedding night

Did shipcestuous get deleted? Only they’ve disappeared.

Oh no, you're right 😵 @shipcestuous-two is still up though. Let's hope she'll be back soon!! I'll take this as a warning to go search how to back up this blog. Never know when it happens :(

The Zuko/Azula Shipper’s Guide To/Optimistic Interpretation Of AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER – a.k.a Contentbending In Pursuit Of Flamin’-Hot Incestuous Love, a.k.a. Delusions Of Zucest – Part I Of V: Episodes 1-27

so I'm not a zucest shipper but this series is actually a really interesting, very detailed deep analysis of Zuko and Azula's relationship in the series, from all the way back in 2011. Obviously there's a Zucest lens applied to it all but there's a lot of interesting things even if you're not into Zucest. This is written by @shipcestuous, who is still on tumblr, but I found it quite accidentally (trust me, I was not looking for incest content). Obviously, I don't agree with anything they say, but the level of detail they go into is quite impressive.

[litcest]

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).

Hi! I recently saw this post on my timeline, and I would like to know your opinion on it.. For anyone else reading this and you want a tw, here it is: Incest.

I see that you have your dad!hayden thing (which I think is incest, but I'm minding my own business with that.) I'm sending you this because I think you have good opinions on things and I know you really like Sam Monroe. So this sort of made me think of you (not in a bad way). Does that make sense? 😅) I just want to know your opinion on this.

2 Cousin-fucking Songs

Hi, i originally wanted to submit this to @shipcestuous-two but since i can't send it from a sideblog, i'll just make my own post instead, i hope that's okay!

The two Songs i want to talk about are both in german but i will provide a translation for the lyrics below the cut.

Both songs are pretty recent and explicitly about someone's relationship with their cousin (idk how popular MELE's song is but Bologna was played on the radio a lot) which i find very interesting!

Song 1: Deine Cousine by MELE

This one is about a person* who is in love with their cousin and has an on/off-affair with her, hooking up whenever they meet at a family gathering. They both think they should end it but are just too attracted to each other so it keeps happening.

*the video shows a guy, but since the song is directed at 'you' it is actually gender neutral for the main character.

-------

Song 2: Bologna by Wanda

This one is less of a full story (like the first one) and a bit more abstract. In the verses the narrator says how they would love to live/dance/sleep with their cousin, but they don't dare. The refrain is about aunt Ceccarelli who once used to have a love story in Bologna. According to an interview, this actually refers to the songwriter's aunt who used to live in bologna and was in love with her cousin before he sadly died in WWII.

Disclaimer: I am a native german speaker but i'm not an expert at translating text into english, so excuse any errors/awkwardness 🙏

I tried my best, though!

Song 1: Deine Cousine by MELE

[link to the german lyrics on genius.com]

The way she's sitting there in her floral sundress Her smile let's you imagine what is waiting beneath it And you watch her helplessly You don't care about the cake on the table Back then, in the bathtub, she was the first person you got to see naked and now you want her exactly there

What would your mother say? What would your grandma say?

Aah, she's your cousin Is this just hormones or is it true love? Aah, she's your cousin Are you going to do it or not?

And then suddenly she was naked You loved each other, her pelvis on the beat* A dream comes true And she says, she'd like to be a couple

What would your dad say? What would your neighbours say?

Aah, she's your cousin Is this just hormones or is it true love? Aah, she's your cousin Are you going to do it or not?

And year after year it's always the same Whether it's a communion or an 80th birthday** Afterwards you're going to confession After every meeting comes the question Was that it? You both say: 'this needs to end' You would like to swear off her if only she didn't turn you on so much

Aah, she's your cousin Is this just hormones or is it true love? Aah, she's your cousin Are you going to do it or not? Aah, she's your cousin Is this just hormones or is it true love? Aah, she's your cousin Are you going to do it or not?

Are you going to do it or not?

*I chose a literal translation for this part but i'm not sure if it makes sense in english. I think it's a pun because Becken (pelvis) and Becken (cymbal) sound the same? on the beat i guess means they're moving rythmically? Idk man, they're having sex, you get it.

**this part is talking about different occasions for family gatherings where they meet, not sure if that's clear

-------

Song 2: Bologna by Wanda

[link to the german lyrics on genius.com]

I surely can't sleep with my cousin, even though i would like to, but i don't dare I surely can't talk to my cousin, even though i would like to, but i don't dare

Aunt Ceccarelli once made amore in Bologna Amore, my city Aunt Ceccarelli once had amore in Bologna Bologna, my city

I surely can't live with my cousin, even though i would like to, but we don't dare I surely can't dance with my cousin, even though i would like to, but she doesn't dare

Aunt Ceccarelli once made amore in Bologna Amore, my city Aunt Ceccarelli once had amore in Bologna Bologna, my city

And remember one thing: If anyone asks where you're going say to Bologna If anyone asks, what you stand for say for amore, amore

Aunt Ceccarelli once made amore in Bologna Amore, my city Aunt Ceccarelli once had amore in Bologna Bologna, my city

Aunt Ceccarelli once made amore in Bologna Amore, my city Aunt Ceccarelli once had amore in Bologna Bologna, my city

Bologna, my city Bologna, my city

-------

If anyone has questions about the lyrics or anything feel free to ask!

Hope y'all find this as interesting as i did :)

Welcome to the world of incest shipping, anon!

If you're looking for recs, I'd suggesting checking Shipcestuous' blog. She's very precise about tagging if a ship is canon or fanon and what kind of incest it is, and she's always getting new recs from her followers.

Here's her father/daughter tag: https://shipcestuous.tumblr.com/tagged/r:+fd

Her uncle/niece tag: https://shipcestuous.tumblr.com/tagged/r:+un

And her aunt/niece tag: https://shipcestuous.tumblr.com/tagged/r:+na

(The last one is sadly a bit empty, as you might expect.)

Have fun!

Cesty Hallmark Story: How I Got Kicked Out Of The Hallmark Christmas Movie Pitch Meeting

So the cesty hallmark pitches were just a dumb bit of fun, but I thought of a way to post them on AO3... that is, embed them in a short humorous story which is kind of how I'd picture things going if I happened to get a job at Hallmark and was given a chance to pitch a movie.

I call it: How I Got Kicked Out Of The Hallmark Christmas Movie Pitch Meeting

And, one last image to go with it, yes done with AI again, this time in the style of a manga cover rather than a Hallmark movie poster. No context. You want to know how it fits in with the others, you'll have to read the story.

Hello fans of Targaryens ! Here are my other favorite incestuous ships, besides Daemyra from Fire and Blood / HOTD !

(I specify that there is no order) Let's start by staying in the GRRM universe :

Jon Snow & Daenerys Targaryen (Jonerys), from @wweskywalker :

Let's cry about the fact that GRRM will probably never write the final book and therefore we probably won't see them reunite as a result ! Seriously George, what have you done with your book series ?! (You criticize Tolkien but at least he finished his main story...)

Baelon Targaryen & Alyssa Targaryen, from @naomimakesart

Aemon Targaryen & Naerys Targaryen, from @wweskywalker :

King Aegon III Targaryen & Queen Daenaera Velaryon @naomimakesart :

King Aegon I Targaryen & Queen Rhaenys Targaryen, from @dudlesdudles :

Daemon Blackfyre & Daenerys Targaryen, from @wweskywalker :

Jacaerys / Jace Velaryon & Baela Targaryen, from @chiaracognigniart :

Now, outside the GRRM universe :

And yes, for those who didn't know, Percy & Annabeth (Percabeth) are cousins, and for Aragorn & Arwen and Gideon & Gwen they very distant cousins, due to a certain number of generations separating them.

The Innocents, by Michael Crummey

There was I, one fine afternoon, reading Henry James' The Turn of the Screw and started wondering if anyone had ever done an incestuous re-write of the novel. I found none, but what I did find was that there was a movie adaptation (by Truman Capote) in 1961 with the title of The Innocents. This movie shares the title with a 2019 novel by Michael Crummey, which DOES have brother-sister incest.

I went to check the book on Goodreads and found out that @shipcestuous had it on her shelf, and from this I found an ask she got just a month ago with some book recs. Everything is connected.

The book, narrated in the third person, follow the lives of Ada and Evered Best, siblings who lose their parents at an young age and have to take control of the family's fishing enterprise in a remote beach. The novel is set around the 19th century and so the siblings have little contact with the outside world other than the ship that visits them twice an year to collect their goods.

In a secluded cove on the shores of Newfoundland, in a recent past, lived a family. One winter, in quick succesion, the newborn dies, followed by the mother and then the father. And so, siblings Ada and Evered are left to fend for themselves.

"And he to bawling with her then, the two helpless youngsters holding on to one another in the pitch."

"For weeks after their father died the youngsters did little but sleep, lying in bed all hours for the warmth, for the comfort of the other's breathing beside them."

Evered hunts and fishes, while Ada takes care of the house and cooks. Winter turns to spring, and The Hope,cargo boat, comes to the cove, as it did every year. The siblings tell the Captain their parents have died, and the Captain tries to explain how the enterprise works: Evered's father caught fish and gave to the Captain, who in turn gave them supplies. The Captain wasn't sure that the two kids could deliver the amount of fish necessary to cover the costs of the supplies, and tries to convince the kids to go to the town and look for a job there. Ada, however, doesn't want to leave the grave of their dead baby sister (who she insists that she can talk to) and refuses to go.

Evered menages to persuade the Captain into giving them one season to try it out. The season is not much of a success, but it's good enough that Evered and Ada decide to keep trying to make it work, even though they are getting into debt.

"'You managed fine, Brother', she said. 'You done good.' 'Don't you ever leave me,' he said out of nowhere' 'Why would I do the like of that?' 'Just don't.'"

Two years go by, and a storm blows a shipwreck into the cove. The siblings explore and collect material, and Ada gets new shoes. They are two right feet, but she's happy anyway.

"She threw her arms around Evered's neck and they jumped up and down in each other's arms."

Another event of this year was Ada getting her first period. She gets grumpy about it, ignoring Evered and lashing out at him (PMS is a bitch). What I found particularly interesting about this chapters is that, to hide the bleeding, "they slept in separate beds for the next five nights". Which means that, despite they having a spare bed (the one that their parents slept in), they were still choosing to sleep together for the past two years. And, when Ada's bad mood (and blood) has passed, they go back to sleeping together.

"They talked through the black or looked to the other's warmth for comfort, gravitating to the familiar body beside them. One night, half-asleep and adrift in that liminal space, Ada hooked a leg across Evered's hip and they nudged into one another."

Also worth mentioning is Evered's masturbatory habits. He doesn't quite know what he's doing, but he knows he feels pleasure from touching himself, and that it results in a "hot spill pumping across his hand and stomach". And yes, he does it in the bed he shared with Ada, until one night, still half asleep, Ada turns towards him and wraps her legs around his torso.

"They tucked into the heat of her, Ada lifting her leg across his hips and rocking against him. And he was suddenly, vibrantly awake. He leaned into the heat of her, barely moving, letting Ada work against him, moving his hand to the small of her back to add weight to that drowsy agitation. The didn't speak or acknowledge one another at any point and Evered thought it was possible she was dreaming, that she was insensible to the waking world the entire time they were engaged."

Are they dry humping? I'm not going to lie, I'm not going to lie, the book is sometimes hard to understand. It's very poetic and I struggled to get the meaning behind the vomit of words that were on the pages. It made me feel very stupid and like my reading comprehension had gone to shit. Whatever that was, the event goes by unmentioned, as neither sibling wants to talk about it.

"It was the one intimacy that everything between the siblings seemed a prelude to. But some hesitation had always stopped them short, a shared vertigo that stayed them at the edge."

In the summer, Ada goes to bath herself in a clear water pool in the hills around the house, and Evered spies on her, admiring how her body had developed.

"A woman's body he was looking at and he was embarrassed to be watching as if it was a stranger standing in the brook below him."

Ada sees him watching and he goes away, but as she cleans herself, she thinks of "sleeping beside Evered [...] as if her body was a having a thought all on its wordless lonesome."

Their routine comes to a halt when Evered gets sick after making a delivery to the ship. He passes the sickness onto Ada, who becomes gravely ill.

In a struck of good luck, sea Captain Truss and Mrs. Brace happen upon the cove. They nurse the siblings back to full health, and when Ada first wakes up from her feverish dreams, her first word is "Brother".

Truss also teaches Evered how to hunt with a firearm, so the siblings can have more supplies in the winter. When inquired on whether he feels lonely in the cove, Evered says that he has Ada and so he isn't alone.

During this time, Evered and Ada listen as Truss and Mrs. Brace have sex and Ada recognizes the sounds as similar to the ones Evered makes when he thinks she's asleep.

"Something in it reminded her of the hitch in Evered's breathing during the solitary ministrations she pretended to sleep through. Of her brother ferreting through her small clothes to find the place she was the warmed and wet, her hips rising to his hand as he figured the works of her."

After Truss goes back to his ship, Evered begins to plan an expedition to further explore the hills around the cove, as they had never gone too far from the shore, and also so he hunt bigger animals. Ada wants to go along, but Evered tells her it's better for her to stay and take care of the house. Ada is not stupid and knows that her brother is being distant, he has been since before Truss' arrival.

"She missed her brother, missed the easy physical affection that had been the only constant source of comfort in her life."

The night before Evered leaves for his expedition, Ada waits for him to lay in bed beside her and then begins to touch him, jerking him off. Evered later comments that the gesture seemed like punishment of short, for him not taking her along.

"She placed her hand on Evered’s hip behind her and then down between them, finding her way to bare skin. He put an arm around her waist and moved to reach under her shift but she grabbed it with her free hand. She did not want to be touched. Or to turn toward him or to speak. She moved against the rigid bit of gristle in her hand, working toward that hitch in his breath, that spastic release."

Hunting turns out to be a good deal for the siblings and when The Hope comes to deliver their goods, they gain extra by selling pelts of the animals they had killed.

The next strange event is the arrival of John Warren onto the cove. He comes knocking in the sibling's door, having heard of the so called "Orphan Cove" and wanting to lumber there. At first, Warren mistake Ada and Evered for a couple, asking if they are wedded, which leaved Ada "mortified".

Warren lates asks Ada whether she feels alone, and her answer is similar to the one Evered had given Truss.

"She shook her head. 'I got Evered,' she said. 'He been good to me.'"

Warren and his crew leave, with Evered and Ada once again returning to their routine. The text time The Hope comes around, the Captain asks if Ada has ever considered marrying, as the men in town are lacking women. Evered asks Ada whether she has ever considered marrying and she says that she doesn't want to do that.

That winter, a terrible storm blows in while Evered is out fishing, and for a moment, Ada assumes he has drowned. He does make it back to shore, completely soaked through, and she takes him to the house, stripping him off the wet clothes and setting him by the fire. Then Ada removes her own clothes, as she too got wet from searching for him and straddles him for ~warmth~. This obviously leads to them having sex.

The next morning, there's an awkwardness in the air, with neither sibling knowing quite how to deal with the intimacy they had shared.

"And she couldn’t settle with any satisfaction how to feel about what happened between she and Evered, about how it unfolded or if it was all her doing somehow."

Even though they had only had penetrative PiV sex once, Ada finds herself pregnant, in a strike of bad luck akin to Cathy Dollanganger's. I know it's possible to get pregnant from just one unprotected encounter, but god, are this incestuousr girlies unlucky.

Ada realises she is pregnant when she stops getting her "monthly visitor", but isn't quite sure how she got that way. At first, she hides it from Evered, but when her belly gets big enough, he starts to suspect that Ada got pregnant because Warran had made her his wife. Ada and Warren never had sex, by the way, the just apent a lot of time alone because Warren thought of her as a surrogate daughter and wanted to keep are away from his sailors.

As the distance between the siblings grows bigger, Evered suggests that they should leave the cove and go to the town, where he can find a job and Ada can get married.

Just as The Hope appears on the horizon, Ada enters in labor and Evered helps her deliver the child.

"He nodded though his expression didn’t change. "I don’t know what to do," he said. "What do I do?" "Just don’t leave me," she said."

The child is named Martha, after they deceased baby sister, whom Ada believed might have reincarnated into her daughter. Then, in one of the most anticlimactic endings ever, the books ends, as Evered places the new-born on Ada's chest and the ship approaches at distance.
