Messages from the Author of the ‘Forbidden Flowers’ series

Published on by rainbowamoryLeave a comment

I’ve wanted to read Diane Rinella’s books for a long time, and I finally got them. There was an option for a customized message from the author, so I asked her if she could in one sentence tell me what I should keep in mind as someone who wants to write fiction that touches upon “taboo” subjects. Below are her messages, and anyone who is going to write about similar subjects could draw inspiration from what she had to say. (She addressed it to me, but I blotted out my name in this post for privacy reasons)

Introduction to this Blog~

Published on by rainbowamoryLeave a comment

Hello,

I’m Rainbowamory, or “Rain” for short. I may have seemed to appear out of nowhere but I come from Tumblr. Due to the rule changes that are happening in the kinds of content we’re allowed to put on there, I decided to move all my stuff onto WordPress, just in case my Tumblr disappeared.

This was my original page: http://rainbowamory.tumblr.com

This is a very short intro to the material on this WordPress.

Part of this material (specifically that in the Cousin Love and LGBT sections and personal and Fiction sections of the sidebar are my own writing or commentary). Anything in the category of “Tumblr Reblogs” were posts I re-blogged from other people in the overall spirit of my blog.

So what is this WordPress page about? Originally I made my Tumblr to try and educate myself on the subject of unconventional relationships. One half was dedicate to romantic relationships between cousins, straight or gay, and the other half was dedicated to LGBT material.

I am a writer and I wanted to know more about these topics so that I could more accurately portray certain kinds of characters in my fiction. I also wanted to dispel myths and share what I learned with other people in the process.

During my time on Tumblr, and by following other pages there, I feel I learned much of what I needed to already. But I may post new stuff here in the future.

This is to a large extent a personal blog, so I will be writing in a kind of informal style. I support consensual romantic and/or sexual love, including that between first cousins. I am transgender (FTM). I am not involved in an incestuous relationship myself. If you ever want to contribute a piece to this blog, or if you have any questions, you are welcome to send it in, as long as it’s on topic.

You should also read this as it was possibly the most important question anyone asked me on this blog: https://rainbowamory.home.blog/2018/04/05/would-you-consider-incest-a-valid-sect-in-the/

And…that’s it for now~! Thanks!

Last Post?

I know I am not as active here as other people are, and I used to hate Tumblr as a platform… I used to wonder why I keep coming back here. And I realized (especially these past few weeks) that it’s because of the People.

With Tumblr changing its rules, I don’t know what’s going to happen to this blog, since it contains adult content (writing counts?), or at least mature themes.

 So for any followers that would like to know, I’ve moved all my materials/writing over to WordPress:                                rainbowamory.home.blog

If you join the shipcest Discords, I’m on there as “rain”.

I hope people learned something from this page. I learned a lot from the people that followed me, and some of you have taught me to be more open-minded, more compassionate.

If I make any updates or posts, they would likely be on WordPress from here on. Tumblr staff can take away blogs, but they can’t destroy people’s spirits or their values or the causes they care about.

I have a tendency to get stupidly sentimental when I feel like the “end” is near. lol So I just want to say THANK YOU so much for listening to what I had to say. I really hope we can keep in touch. Tumblr is nothing without the people and luckily I encountered mostly decent people in this corner. ❤ I’m really grateful for that.

Tumblr deleting blogs (and about Shipcestuous)

Published on by rainbowamoryLeave a comment

[post originally made on Tumblr]

Hey people (if you are still here).

So if you haven’t already heard, Tumblr has been deleting blogs with NSFW type of content, even if the blog had fewer followers or if it contained mostly text and non-porn material. Their real target seems to have been abuse material involving minors, but unfortunately this has affected some blogs on consensual incest or incest shipping, which in no way or form is connected to abuse.

I have a lot of feelings about this, and would like to say “I’m done with Tumblr.” And actually, that is how I feel, because Shipcestuous’ blog was one of those deleted. If you’ve followed her blog, you’d know it was one of the biggest shipcest blogs, and possibly one of the few multi-fandom ones. There was always such great discussion on there, and I’ve never seen a community more loving and genuine than the one she built there.

If you wants to keep in contact with Shipcestuous, see her WordPress blog and maybe leave a comment:

I wrote in to Tumblr about this, but we will all have to wait and see what happens. I don’t feel comfortable there anymore if she is gone because it means no shipper blog is secure. The only reason I even bothered with Tumblr at all was because of her community…it represented true Unconditional Love, intelligent conversations and love of fiction all in one.

If your blog contains shipcest content, check out these steps to download your material from your tumblr (you have to refresh the page after some minutes of it saying “processing”. Then the “download” button will be there. Give it time if you have a lot of material.):

(It’s also possible to move your blog stuff to WordPress, so you can do it that way too – just look it up)

Thanks

…UPDATE…

UPDATE: Since I wrote this post, there has been a Major Update, but it is not mine to announce. If you want to know, I think it’s mentioned on Shipcestuous’s WordPress somewhere in the comments in the link below:
