#i dont remember much about h*mestuck but the incest was super strange like. they are siblings in another dimension or something i think

I definitely understand why you would think that, but i dont think Ralsei/Kris would be incest! I think saying that Ralsei is exactly the same as Asriel because they are foils is reductive and takes away from his character development. I don't ship Ralsei and Kris, but I think in a hypothetical situation where they were to get together, I think it would be a good way to separate Ralsei from just being a copy of Asriel. it would give him some agency in his existence if that makes sense

He’s……… a different character but you can’t deny the Asriel connections are there. He’s his own person but he is absolutely connected to Asriel somehow, there is no doubt about that, he’s a character very similar to Asriel in name and face and personality. I don’t think…. this would not the best way to prove that Ralsei is his own person aside from Asriel, there are millions of different ways to prove that, I don’t think dating Asriel’s sibling would be… great, I don’t want to see that. This goes beyond Ralsei as a character, this is about the writing, if this ended up happening WHY would you write about this, why would you go to these lengths to make a relationship that is ‘technically not incest’, why would you make a character super similar to the protagonist’s brother and think ‘they are going to have a romantic relationship’, it WOULD be weird guys, this would be a little weird
