could you like.. not be weird by defining vrisrezi as incest lmao

nope because i did this specifically to point out the hypocrisy of people who harass people who draw something cute involving jade and john but have no problem shipping trolls who are genetically related. either have the whole cake or have none of it.

except the world isn’t fucking black and white, especially in fiction when it’s written by a human being and dealing with made up shit

the humans had much more of a focus on the familial bonds they were revealed to have because our culture and biology results in things like parents, siblings, etcetera. two people have a child and have a kid and the way genetics work, that kid having kids with their parents or siblings would be terrible for the resulting child! it’s also just fucking gross

the trolls don’t have parents or really any known family in the way their society works, other than their lusus. their dna is taken by the robots to the mother grub and put into an “incestuous slurry” which results in a bunch of kids. there’s no real explanation to HOW this works biologically because maybe like four or five trolls contributed in the dna of a kid. maybe only two. that’s never explained. plus the ectobiology could have been weird and different too so just.. fuck. besides, the offspring of that batch of troll kids getting together really doesn’t mean anything for their society, so it doesn’t matter.

REGARDLESS this is all made up shit by hussie so we don’t have to take the word of god to rigidly define things. we, as human beings, kinda just view each each dancestor as the actual ancestor of the kids. karkat to kankri. kanaya to porrim. etc

nepeta and feferi? sollux and aradia? eridan and feferi? there’s no fucking details of the beta trolls that would imply they’re related. no “we’re brother and sister!” spotlights in the story. the biology of the trolls is weird and kind of incestuous but nothing in the actual dialogue or relations shows the betas being related. the ONLY characters that do have some familial terms used for one another is vriska and terezi, being called scourge sisters, but that’s never meant literally and can easily be more as a term of endearment, like a man calling his friend a bro.

john and jade are humans and pretty fucking clearly brother and sister. dave and rose too. you can see the resemblance between the strilondes and th.. the.. harl..egb.. john/jade/jane/jake. their guardians were their actual family members for god’s sake. they look, act, are explained, and are framed as brother and sister. vrisrezi isn’t.

don’t let some minor, ambiguous fucking technicality excuse LITERAL incest art by saying vrisrezi is the same as johnjade. fuck you

funny how you’re trying to justify incest.

terezi and vriska were literally called the scourge sisters.

a. i explained why that doesn’t have to fucking mean familial relations. it can be used endearingly. please read

b. i guess karkat and dave are incestuous because dave calls karkat bro

c. fuck you

d. why was vriska and terezi the only two who were referred to as siblings? if we are to see the rest as siblings somehow, please show me the other familial terms used to relate the other non-dancestors. also fuck you
