I watched Boondock Saints this weekend and I have a fannish question, has anyone seen it?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Thrive to spite them
It was an okay movie, it lost me a bit toward the end though and I really didn't like Willam Defoe.
I don't get where people see the subtext and not in my "la la la there's no sex in LoTR" kinda way. There's just nothing there between the brothers, no disturbing hodgeberry kind of actions.

Huh. I saw the subtext, in a "only two people in the world, and to death do we part" kind of way. And if you watch the deleted scenes on the DVD, the subtext is a little more overt. Their relationship is intense, anyway, whether one reads it as sexual.
I'm sure part of why there's Connor/Murphy fan fiction has to do with certain kinks, like twincest and Catholic guilt.

I watched the deleted scenes and I really didn't get a slashy vibe, but twinscest ins't one of my kinks and I know nothing of Catholic Guilt.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't usually get incest vibes, but I could see where people were coming from in Boondock Saints.

I don't usually get incest vibes, either, unless it's deliberately textual or there are hodgeberry situations.
I think it's easier to see the subtextual incest vibes visually rather than on the written page. Sometimes I'll see it unwillingly when the two actors in question have the BBOC factor, and I'm pretty sure there were witnesses when I made the Skywalker-esque "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" because of the Sean Bean and David Wenham HOTT! factor warping my brain forevermore.
But the way Connor and Murphy look at the world and only see each other, well... it's viby. There was a vibe.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Simon and River are pretty much the only sibling relationship that I've seen that vibed so strongly that I actually sought out CSI. The rest of the popular fandom sibling pairing--Eowyn/Eomer, all kinds of HP twincest, Shannon/Boone on Lost--I don't really see the subtext at all.

My eyes, my eyes! I just got into reading what appeared to be a good Harry/Draco fic when I discovered it was an mpreg. I have avoided these like the plague cause I just don't see the appeal. This story had no warning, and it did not become apparent until a few chapters in.
Where is the brain bleach?!?!?

Continuing the theme of "kinks I don't really get"...
Next someone needs to post about wingfic.
