Albert/Victoria – Love Story Fanvideo

Published on by rainbowamoryLeave a comment

I am happy to present my first fan video for Albert/Victoria! Finally.

In my edit there are a few points that are different from the original series:

  1. The only criticism I had about this show was that there was not enough build-up toward their relationship. So I had to create build-up by rearranging the clips to make their courtship look longer than it actually was in the show.
  2. In the show, it is actually Victoria who proposes to Albert.
  3. Victoria’s father had passed away so he is not actually in the picture, so I had to refer to Lord M as her “daddy” because he is the closest thing to a father figure she has. xD And it was kind of funny because Albert wanted his approval on some level. So it kind of does fit.

I had a lot of fun playing with these clips. This video was easy to make because the storyline really lent itself to the song as it was already in some ways like Romeo and Juliet. I mean the Feel of it, it has that fairy-tale young love feel. I bet the creators wrote it that way on purpose.

I used only Season 1 clips for this idea since it is about the early part of their relationship. If and when I make more videos for them, I will be using clips from other seasons too.

I had decided before that I will put my first 2 Albert/Victoria videos in my main YouTube (SorcererRain), and any other consang-related fanvideos I make beyond that will go in the new one (Rainbowamory).

Thank you for watching ! ~

A Fan video for The Color Wheel film (brother-sister)

Published on by rainbowamory3 Comments

The Color Wheel – Colin/JR (Flaws And All)

I always wondered why there was no fanvid for the siblings in the film The Color Wheel. I guess it’s because it’s not as well-known as other films/shows. I also always wanted to make a vid with the song “Flaws and All” by Beyoncé. So, with the idea of a consanguinamory awareness art campaign, it occurred to me I can do this! (I decided to upload this one to a new YouTube channel instead of my main channel)

I think the song fits them SO much because it is about them learning to love each other despite what they each may have considered to be “flaws” in the other. Personally, I think the bro is more flawed than the sis, but since this song is sung by a female, I edited it this way from her POV mostly, but actually it’s mutual and it’s about both of their feelings about the other.

The way this fits into the “Consanguinamory plotline” is this: There are all these ugly myths about consensual incest in real life and whenever people come even the tiniest bit close to tolerating it, they have unrealistic expectations about perfection… but the reality is that people have flaws, relationships have flaws — including incestuous ones. That does NOT mean that these relationships cannot work. Consenting incestuous pairings can STILL work despite having flaws like any other type of relationship. e.g., The bro and sis in the story learn to love each other unconditionally…

That’s what it means to love: to accept flaws and all. And we as a society should be aware of that when thinking about whether or not a related pairing is “valid”. And consanguinamorous pairs should not have to try and aspire to unrealistic ideals of perfection in order to be accepted or to stay together. This film and this song are the very essence of Unconditional Love, a theme I am drawn to again and again and the reason I am interested in this topic intellectually.

This video was also inspired by the write-up Shipcestuous did on this film, which I thought was an amazing analysis: https://x4ashes4ashes.wordpress.com/2014/08/25/the-color-wheel/

It’s that review that made me want to watch this movie long time ago. 🙂

Any positive comments would be appreciated.

Scholarly papers/research reports and other good resources on consensual incest (consanguinamory)

scales of justice

Are you one of those people who ask “WHY??” when you see someone supporting consensual adult incest? Do not ask that question unless you have the balls to deal with the actual answer. If you’re going to be an anti, at least be an informed anti. Human rights deserves more than two seconds of thought. Two seconds of thought makes for a worthless opinion, because that is what is called a knee-jerk reaction. It’s not an argument, it’s not a thoughtful opinion, it’s a reaction based on whim.

Are you someone who is curious about the facts behind a subject that is often presented in a distorted, dehumanized, dishonest way by popular media and society?

The below is a small list I sent to someone after they asked for a list of articles about consensual incest. I want to expand this list later, but for now, here are some scholarly articles and other well-written pieces and videos you can check out.

The content in these articles/resources might be challenging for some people. I still find some of it challenging on a personal/intellectual level. The important thing is to understand that personal disgust/dislike is not a legitimate reason to deny other people their rights or to pass moral judgement on their lives.

hand-behind-barbed-wire

These materials go beyond cousin couples, but the topics discussed provides a big-picture sense of the issues around consanguinamory, and better illuminates where cousin couples fit into this picture, as well as how the stigmatization of other kinds of consensual adult incest affects the way cousin couples are perceived and treated in society. So even though it may seem off-topic for the usual themes of this blog, it is still connected to the themes in important ways.

Here are the materials:

1. English translated version of the German Ethics Council’s report about incest: https://www.ethikrat.org/fileadmin/Publikationen/Stellungnahmen/englisch/opinion-incest-prohibition.pdf

2. Royal Commission report recommending that incest be legalized (this is an old report but very relevant to the topic). There are 4 or 5 PDF files, one for each part of the report. Once the files are on your computer you can open each one and search for the topic. (Part one has the recommendation in brief. The final part has more detailed argument and conclusion): https://apo.org.au/node/34438?fbclid=IwAR21eYklk6bnooiHL_xuXPgH0OOoyEQyJNgTVEUfhF79ImOxR2byz9TFsIo

3. “The Incest Horrible: Delimiting the Lawrence v. Texas” This is one of my top favorite scholarly articles exploring legality. You can download it through the “download” button here: https://repository.law.umich.edu/mjgl/vol23/iss1/4/#.WXf2pMuhqtE.twitter

4. “Incest is Best: The Problem of a Moral Taboo” by Vera Bergelson is another brilliant one. You can download it here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3228796

5. Rudolf Mandelbaum’s Social Justice Articles: The guy who wrote these wanted to develop his arguments more and make an updated version. It’s worth reading both versions.

Art Campaign to Spread Awareness for Consanguinamory

Published on by rainbowamoryLeave a comment

Someone in the shipping community (corny-tyrannosaurus) is starting an art campaign to spread awareness about consanguinamory. Consanguinamory refers to Consensual romantic and/or sexual relationships between ADULT relatives. This is in no way or form connected to abusive incest.

flower

Also, this is totally separate from the Shipcest artist list I mentioned earlier in a post, as it’s different in its purpose.  This new art campaign is specifically seeking out people who support or are tolerant of consanguinamory in real life. Basically, allies of consanguinamory. The art itself will be focusing on fictional incest ships. Art includes drawings, fanvideos, fanfiction, etc.

You don’t have to be involved in consanguinamory yourself to participate. But if you are, that’s fine too. If you are a content creator and you want to join in creating art specifically to spread awareness of consanguinamory, please follow the link to see the details.

Sorry, the previous link was broken due to a name change. Here is an updated link. If you’re interested, contact Corny Tyrannosaurus on his Tumblr page:

UPDATE: He had to make a new account. His new account is here: https://cornytyrannosaurus.tumblr.com/

The first step is to simply gather people who think they might be interested in participating. We have already started Phase 2 (where people plan together), but there are still open spaces for several more people to join. Concerns about anonymity and privacy have already been addressed (people can choose to be anonymous for this) but you can ask about it again in the chat group.

So, if anyone out there is a content creator and wants to participate, please see the above link for details and please share this with others you think might be interested.

Supporting writers of consanguinamory

Published on by rainbowamoryLeave a comment

If you want to support writers that explore consanguinamory (consensual incest) in fiction, please read this. No one should have to deal with hate for exercising their freedom of speech/creative freedom.

This is a message from an author of a book with consanguinamory themes. The novel she wrote is about romance between two half-siblings. The book is called  “Forbidden: Our Secret Love: The Larson Family Saga, Book 2.” This message was sent to the blogger FullMarriageEquality (Keith). I am just sharing it here, with permission from FullMarriageEquality:

Dear Keith,

It’s been nearly a year since our last email communication, but I continue to follow your Full Marriage Equality blog. As you may recall, I published Forbidden: Our Secret Love–a beautiful story of love between two adult half-siblings–twenty months ago.

Since I published Forbidden I’ve been stunned by the pervasiveness of incestaphobia in our society. I cannot comprehend what creates so much disgust, hatred and fear over a loving relationship between two consenting adults! Forbidden is continually attacked by reviewers on Amazon and Goodreads despite a very clear warning in the blurb about the subject matter. On May 14th, a reviewer wrote, “This author is sick. Brother sister sexual relations. It doesn’t get much worse than this. I think this is autobiographical. It was pro-incest propaganda.” One star.

This hurts. Forbidden is a story that came from my heart, because I truly believe that love takes many forms, and none are worthy of condemnation. Beyond my personal feelings, these negative reviews are hurting my reputation as an author. Readers who love my other books are so disgusted by the incest in Forbidden that they’ll probably never read another book written by me. As a professional writer, I’m tempted to unpublish the book for this reason. It would break my heart to give up and give in to hate, because I believe in what you and others in the community are doing.

I don’t know if you’ve read Forbidden, but if so, I would deeply appreciate some input from you and/or other consangs. Above all, is the book an accurate portrayal of a consanguinous relationship? Because if it isn’t, I either need to make some changes or delete it altogether. I would welcome comments from the consang community at my author’s email address:

‪quinnlarsonauthor@outlook.com‬.

Thanks for all you are doing, and for taking the time to read this lengthy email.

I really need input from folks other than incestaphobes before I decide what to do about this beautiful book that does not deserve all the negativity it’s receiving.

I’ve changed the Kindle price to .99 and attached a link to Amazon. Thanks. Link: https://www.amazon.com/Forbidden-Secret-Love-Larson-Family-ebook/dp/B07HRVB61Y

Sincerely,

Elise Quinn Larson
