Line 30:
** And the {{spoiler|Kuran}} family has a history of incest, as seen in the current generation between {{spoiler|Kaname and Yuuki}} And many people do ship them.
* ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'' could not be more blatant about Setsuna and Sara, but some see this between Rociel and Alexiel as well.
** There is a fandom joke that the only pair of siblings in ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'' that '''don't''' have unresolved sexual tension are Setsuna and Sara because they've resolved their sexual tension. It's [[Kaori Yuki (Creator)|Kaori Yuki]], what were you expecting?
* ''[[D .Gray Man-man]]'' has Komui and Lenalee Lee. Komui's rather intense sister complex does nothing to disprove this.
* Agon and Unsui of ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' is THE incest pairing of the fandom. It's not all that hard to see why, Agon is (without a doubt) the most important person in Unsui's life and Agon's a sociopathic playboy and [[Memetic Molester]] whose feelings for his brother are left ambiguous.
* ''[[Code Geass]]''. It's just all over the place in that show, it even has its own [[Brother-Sister Incest]] page.
Line 43:
 
== Film ==
* In ''[[Repo! theThe Genetic Opera]]'', Luigi and Amber. Particularly the bit where she knees him in the groin and licks his ear at the same time.
** According to their brother Pavi's myspace page, ''he'' and Amber are also rather unhealthily close. And a surprising number of fans [[Foe Yay|ship Luigi and Pavi]] (or [[Portmanteau Couple Name|"Pavigi"]]).
* In a director's-cut scene from ''[[Lord of the Rings|The Two Towers]]'', a lot of what we'll call Stewardcest fangirls point for evidence to this moment that's very subtle, but oddly difficult to explain otherwise when you notice it: Denethor dismissively comments about his younger son, Faramir, "I know his uses. They are few." Now think about the implications of the word "use." And rewind and look at Boromir's expression again: It's not "Oh, dad, you're so mean," it's ''embarrassed.'' Arguably more of an Incest Eep! than an [[Incest Subtext]], depending on just how abusive you think this family is, but ... hoo ''boy.''
Line 58:
** This case is applied to Peter and Susan as well, due to the actors' chemistry and close friendship that has been interpreted in the wrong way.
** And there's a whole lot of [[Incest Subtext|Peter/Edmund]], too.
* Merry and Pippin are first cousins and are often shipped together by ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' fans. Sometimes Frodo, more distantly related to both of them, is thrown into the mix as well. See ''[[Bag Enders (Fanfic)|Bag Enders]]'''s "Random Slashy Interludes" for a prime example.
** Perhaps one of the most popular pairing in ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' is Maedhros/Fingon; these two share a grandfather, Finwë. As do Celegorm and Aredhel, also paired rather often. And then the house of Finwë as a whole is very popular and more generally [[Everyone Is Related]].
*** Hell, even in the ''canon'' pairings one begins to wonder if Aragorn and Arwen are actually getting off on the fact that Aragorn's ancestry is awesome because it traces to her uncle; Faramir and Eowyn are some kind of cousin, too.
*** During the First Age, there's something of a genetic bottleneck among elves in that only a few families come back to Middle-Earth, and they promptly kill a large number of the same-species mating possibilities who aren't blood kin to them. Even then, the first few ''non''-related pairings among elves tend to go horribly wrong, to the extent that ... well, you start to wonder if Tolkien was taking some kind of revenge on people like Eol who made his back-to-Valinor family trees not fit neatly on one page. Making the author himself a bit of a kissing-cousins shipper.
*** Most fanfic treats the canon [[Brother-Sister Incest|Turin/Nienor]] pairing as tragic, like the book in which they're the title characters -- but there's fanfic.
* ''[[Warrior Cats (Literature)|Warrior Cats]]'' has Hawkfrost/Brambleclaw, which even has its own [[Idiosyncratic Ship Naming|ship name]]: Brothershipping. They're actually half-brothers, which is probably the only reason it isn't banned from discussion on [[Warriors Wish]].
** The reveal that {{spoiler|Firestar and Scourge}} are half-brothers as well means {{spoiler|Altershipping}} now falls under this trope.
* ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' has Percy and Annabeth, who, despite being closely related via their respected parents, Poseidon and Athena, {{spoiler|like each other romantically and eventually get together by the end of the series}}.
Line 79:
* Quite common in recent ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' series. Especially ''[[Kamen Rider Kiva]]'' and its many bathing scenes. However, "Kivacest" typically refers not to Wataru and Otoya despite their ''epic'' [[Time Travel]]-enabled bath scene (with back scrubbing!) but to Wataru and {{spoiler|Taiga}}, who turns out to be his brother.
* Some members of the ''[[Supernatural]]'' fandom, known as Wincest shippers, see this between Sam and Dean Winchester.
* In ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Maya and Alejandro Herrera are twins who seem to be a little too close to each other; even their powers require physical connection. Also, Maya clearly hated Alejandro's bride, implying jealousy.
** Peter and Nathan Petrelli are brothers who are extremely close, despite an age difference of at least 13 years. There is a reason they're the most popular slash pairing in the show. Not helping is how friendly Adrian Pasdar and Milo Ventimiglia are in real life.
** Not to mention that Peter and Claire seem to be closer than one would expect of uncle and niece. This of course is largely due to [[Cast Incest|Milo and Hayden's off-screen relationship.]]
Line 89:
* ''[[Chuck]]'' was originally intended to have an extra character in the main cast, a love interest for the titular hero. After it was decided she overcomplicated things, she was cut, and all her important lines given to Chuck's sister. The slightly flirty dialogue, coupled with the siblings' chemistry, made this stand out to more than one fan.
* When ''[[Home and Away]]'' revealed that sisters Charlie and Ruby Buckton were actually mother and daughter, one website brilliantly proclaimed that it made shipping them feel even more wrong. They even seem to have acquired their own couple portmanteau, even if it is mostly used in a familial context.
* In the remake of ''[[Hawaii Five O|Hawaii Five-O]]'', Kono's affection and sympathy for her cousin Chin seems to verge on the more than cousinly.
* ''[[Glee]]'' gave us Hummelcest between Burt and Kurt Hummel, a rare example of a father/son incest. Considering that they cannot have a scene without declaring their love for each other, it shouldn't be a surprise.
** And now that Blaine has an actual blood brother who is [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|even more handsome]] than he is, we have Andercest. Not at all helped (or immensely helped, for those who [[Fetish Fuel|like this sort of thing]]) by the line "We're not just brothers, right?" said while standing with their [[Almost Kiss|faces mere inches apart]]. Oh, ''[[Glee (TV)|Glee]]''. [[Trolling Creator|One might almost suspect you do this on purpose.]]
* There's no [[Incest Subtext]] shown between [[Angel (TV)|Connor]] and his parents in the show itself, but there ''are'' fans who have written Darla/Connor and Angelus/Connor stories.
** Yeah but don't forget Angelus taunting Connor about sleeping with the woman who used to change his diapers (closest thing he had to a mother.) [[Oedipus the King (Theatre)|"There should be a play."]]
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]] is all but canon between Cesare and Lucrezia on [[The Borgias]] (considering that the real life Lucrezia was rumoured to be in an incestuous relationship with both Cesare ''and'' her father Rodrigo, it's pretty much fair game). Cesare is incredibly protective of his little sister, and only shows his softer side to her--claiming to love her more than God (which... is complicated when he's a [[Sinister Minister|cardinal]] of the Catholic church) and she loves him more than she could ever love a husband. Also, both find suspiciously similar [[Replacement Goldfish]] after events tear them apart.
** [[Parental Incest|Rodrigo]]/[[Daddy's Girl|Lucrezia]] and [[Sibling Rivalry|Cesare]]/[[Foe Yay|Juan]] shippers also exist in abundance.
* ''[[Frasier]]'' fandom has some Frasier/Niles shipping, otherwise known as "Cranecest".
* [[Life Withwith Derek]] fandom give us [[Not Blood Siblings|Derek and Casey]] aka [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Dasey]], even though they're step-siblings
* There's a modest but passionate faction of Klaus/Rebekah shippers in [[The Vampire Diaries]]'s fandom. Joseph Morgan and Claire Holt's chemistry (they're friends offscreen) and certain moments--like the time Rebekah was mistaken for her brother's girlfriend--lend ammunition enough for shippers.
 
 
== Theater ==
* ''[[Hamlet (Theatre)|Hamlet]]'''s [[Oedipus Complex|subtext with his mom]]. Doesn't help that [[Age Lift|he]] is often older than [[Playing Gertrude|her]].
 
 
== Video Games ==
* Alfred and Alexia Ashford in ''[[Resident Evil Code Veronica]]''.
* [[Brother-Sister Incest/Fire Emblem|A lot]] in the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' series. The king and queen of this trope would be [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Eltoshan X Lachesis]]. The Prince and Princess would be [[Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones (Video Game)|Eirika and Ephraim]].
** Really, all but one instance of incest in the series is subtext. The one text example is {{spoiler|Alvis/Diadora}}, also from ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Geneaology of the Holy War]]''.
* From ''[[Final Fantasy X 2 (Video Game)|FFX-2]]'', we have [[Kissing Cousins|Yuna and Rikku]].
** And in ''[[Final Fantasy XIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XIII]]'', there is Lightning and Serah.
* [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake and Liquid Snake]]. It only gets worse once Liquid possesses Ocelot, who had a big gay crush on their father.
* [[Jak and Daxter|Gol and Maia]] are ''extremely'' affectionate with one another, talking to each other more like old lovers than brother and sister.
* ''[[Golden Sun (Video Game)|Golden Sun]]'', oh ''[[Golden Sun (Video Game)|Golden Sun]]''. The first and most obvious is Felix and Jenna, who are siblings. Then ''The Lost Age'' introduces Karst, who is absolutely ''obsessed'', easily to a [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Clingy Jealous]] [[Yandere]] degree, with her (late, by that point) older sister Menardi. Fans also like to pair up [[Foe Yay|Alex and Mia]], who were confirmed to be cousins by ''Dark Dawn''.
** A 4koma doujinshi, ''Golden Sun Gag Battle'', has Ivan [[Power Perversion Potential|trying out his new Reveal power]] on {{spoiler|Hama and Feizhi's clothes.}} To be fair, ''Gag Battle'' was published before ''The Lost Age'' outed {{spoiler|Hama as Ivan's sister.}}
* ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' caters to this trope, but when you think about it, it's not that surprising: there's shippers for Mia/Maya, Lana/Ema, Jake/Neil, Edgeworth/Franziska (although, to be fair, [[Not Blood Siblings|they're not biologically related]]), and even {{spoiler|Apollo/Trucy}}, all of which have a fair bit of subtext to them. The two incestuous pairings that are by far the most popular in the fandom are {{spoiler|Dahlia/Iris}}, from ''Trials and Tribulations'' and Kristoph/Klavier, from ''Apollo Justice''. As always, though, your mileage may vary.
* In the ''[[Touhou (Video Game)|Touhou]]'' fandom, any pair or trio of siblings has a pairing with each other. Oddly, in all cases it is most common to see the younger sibling as dominant or otherwise more active/aggressive than the older one, who, if not submissive, is thus the passive one. Expect any inversions of the relationship to be of an equal or higher degree of [[Fetish Fuel]]. Of course, this IS [[Improbably-Female Cast|''Gensokyo'']], [[Les Yay|so we have...]]
* Hawke/Bethany has a surprisingly strong following in ''[[Dragon Age 2]].'' Isabela and Merrill weren't everyone's cup of tea, and Aveline wasn't a love interest. Cue a large amount of people shipping Hawke with his/her younger sister.
** There's also a considerably smaller, but still noticeable amount of shipping for Carver/Hawke. Perhaps all that waits now is for Bethany/Hawke/Carver to become the [[One True Threesome]]. Though [[Rule Thirty Six34|they probably already have somewhere]].
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]'', {{spoiler|Kratos and Lloyd}} seemed awful subtexty to a lot of people. Some of them didn't [[Abandon Shipping|Abandon Ship]] after {{spoiler|it was revealed that [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Kratos is actually Lloyd's real father]].}}
* Toad and Toadette of [[Super Mario Bros.]], but it's possible that the fandom doesn't know they're brother and sister.
 
 
== Webcomics ==
* Since [[Jay Naylor]]'s webcomic ''[[Better Days]]'' contained actual [[Twincest]], readers have been joking about something similar happening on its sequel ''[[Original Life (Webcomic)|Original Life]]'' ever since it got started. As of this writing, nothing has ever actually happened, but [http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/comic/OL164.10-12-24.jpg some] [http://www.jaynaylor.com/originallife/comic/OL165.10-12-27.jpg dialogue] between siblings Thomas and Janie following her arm injury sounds rather... questionable. If the two weren't related, you would know ''exactly'' where dialogue like this would lead. And since Naylor ''has'' done it before...
** And early in the series there were definite undertones of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|BST]] between Janie and a [[Kissing Cousins|cousin]].
 
Line 133:
 
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' always had a significant Azula/Zuko shipper fandom, but the creators surely aren't making it too difficult with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-eWsMMJwZ4 such scenes] (appropriate music added). They have even (jokingly?) shipped Zuko's alter ego with Azula at a convention. On the flip side, Azula acts that way [[The Vamp|just about everyone]].
** ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'' has already sparked a Mako/Bolin fandom. Korra is ''usually'' in the [[OT 3|tangle]], but not always.
* Yin and Yang from ''[[Yin Yang Yo (Animation)!|Yin Yang Yo]]'' have a lot of this going on, especially since they're, you know, [[Opposites Attract|opposites]].
* For a while pairing the title characters of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' seemed to be the most popular ship, though that's ''mostly'' died down since then. Technically they're [[Not Blood Siblings|stepbrothers]], but they qualify since they refer to each other as "brothers" and have known each other since they were toddlers. Pairing one of them with their older sister Candace (biological for Phineas) is rarer but still done.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U872E53BnOk "Gitchee Gitchee Goo means that I love you"]. Riiiiiiiiiiight...
Line 145:
** ''Any'' shipping between the Rugrats is vaguely squicky. Having known each other since they were infants, [[wikipedia:Westermark effect|the Westermarck effect]] should be in full force.
* Papa Smurf and Smurfette in ''[[The Smurfs]]'', while not biologically related, get constantly shipped together in this fashion. It doesn't really help that [[Ephebophile|Papa Smurf even has]] [[Pervert Dad|that type of interest in Smurfette]].
* Cousins Ben and Gwen from ''[[Ben 10 (Animation)|Ben 10]]''.
* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Ninja Turtles]]'' get this treatment quite a lot, which is known as "turtlecest" in the fandom. The [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (Animation)|second animated series]] an the 2007 CGI movie are probably to blame, since they've introduced a more complicated dynamic between the mighty foursome and, by the rules of shipping, any tension can be interpreted in a [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|sexual]] way.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Twilight Sparkle and her brother Shining Armor were very close when Twilight was a filly.
