✧ Both Venn's self-ship with Norman and Strangelove's self-ship with Ford feature characters who had romantic relationships with family members where those relationships are somewhat romanticized but mostly presented as past regrets of theirs.
✧ The necrophilia in the Norman self-ship is presented as a disordered condition that a member of Norman's system acted on in the past and that he now copes with through kink.
✧ The Zaphod self-ship is incestuous and is had by a fictive of Zaphod's cousin. One AU of Vyvian's self-ship with Norman involves pseudo-incest (in that it involves a queerplatonic relationship between two unrelated people who had previously declared a sibling-like relationship).
✧ Additionally, the Withnail self-ship has AUs in which necrophilia is acted on and romanticized. Venn has a version of eir self-ship in which Withnail kills and has sex with em, and Stigmata's self-ship involves Withnail dying and Stigmata keeping the corpse platonically and non-sexually.
✧ The Copia self-ship (and, by extension, our interpretations of the Ghost universe) features an occult ritual in which a person, usually with consent, is sacrificed and their corpse used in sex magic.
✧ Additionally, when Terzo self-ships with Copia, it is either in an AU where his source character is NOT the half-brother of Copia's (e.g. when he is self-shipping for fun), OR in a timeline identical to what Terzo remembers where it IS incest (e.g. when he is self-shipping to cope).
✧ Unless we know you to be comfortable with these topics, we will ask before discussing any of these things in our self-ships and/or content warn them if talking about them in a public setting.
✧ Any of our self-ships where we imagine the F/O as part of our everyday life is subject to featuring things that we've experienced in this life. For our comfort level, we have not specified every F/O with whom we explore those themes.
