Shipcestuous Contact Blog

Hi all! I won't be making posts about shipping for now, but this is a way to stay in touch while I wait or Tumblr to hopefully retore my main blog/account.

Hi! I sent a (very long, sorry) comment on your amazing "Comprehensive Examination of Klaus and Violet Baudelaire" at wordpress. It didn't show up there after I clicked on publish (maybe it requires your approval, or maybe it wasn't sent. Anyway, since my comment was very very long, I wrote it in google docs and if you can't see it (I wrote it as csg-III), I can try again, or maybe split it into parts and send through here instead. Thank you very much and sorry to bother. I'm your fan!

I'm so glad you said something - it went into spam for some reason. I do moderate comments but when it works right I get an email and usually respond pretty quickly.

I'm looking forward to reading it. I've been following the discussion on Discord.

I particularly love this:

Hey!! Maybe you've already done the things mentioned in this post, but if not, I thought it might help you get your blog back:

Thanks so much for sharing this, Anon! There's one thing on the list that I don't believe I tried yet, so I'll give that shot.

*crosses fingers*

Do you remember how long it took last time before they put your blog back up? It was such an archive, how disappointing

Hi Anon,

Last time it was between 9 months and a full year. I can't remember exactly because I didn't start posting again right away.

But the difference was that last time they had just mass deleted hundreds? thousands? of accounts. This time it was just me.

why

is

it

taking

SO

long?

Thanks for your message!

Wordpress

Unfortunately, no update from Tumblr on my blog, but I do want to share some info for you, particularly a place where we can continue to interact as a community.

Some of you probably already know that I have several blogs on Wordpress where I have posted longer commentaries, particularly ones with a lot of images.

1: The original, which I had even before my Tumblr: https://x4ashes4ashes.wordpress.com/

2: The one I moved on to when my storage space got filled at #1. I haven't posted here often but it is still active: https://shipcestuous2.wordpress.com/

3: A very old blog created in 2016 that was for backing up my Tumblr, but could only accommodate a fraction of the posts due to storage limitations. It has been full since 2016, and includes a lot of posts that were migrated or culled when I edited my blog and got it back up and running after the 2018 purge: https://shipcestuous3.wordpress.com/

4: ShipcestuousRecs, my fledgling recommendations blog. Only for the best of the best of the best: https://shipcestuousrecs.wordpress.com/

5: The Cestopedia, my fledgling canon consensual incest encyclopedia: https://shipcest.wordpress.com/

6: https://shipcestuous.wordpress.com/ - I'm just holding this URL. I don't have plans for it right now.

7: I also posted my original story with gifs Daphne & Dylan on Wordpress. (It was on Tumblr too and is still up.) But please read it on AO3, which is the most recently edited version: https://archiveofourown.org/users/x4ashes4ashes/profile

If you have recommendations, ships you want to talk about, feelings/rants you want to share, etc. please feel free to leave a comment on one of my Wordpress blogs, particularly on this post: https://shipcestuous2.wordpress.com/2025/06/29/10524/ or this one: https://shipcestuous2.wordpress.com/2019/03/12/for-general-incest-shipping-comments/

I like this as an option because it's a little more permanent and public. I like that comments can be found again later and other shippers can see it and comment too.

You don't need a Wordpress account to comment. It'll ask for an email (that won't be shared publicly with your comment) but it doesn't have to be a real one, at least I'm pretty sure. But it might not be a bad idea to create a Wordpress account.

Can we dm you about ships here in dm ?

Hi Anon,

Yes, DMs are totally fine, but I'm just not sure how often I'll be checking in it. I'm also going to make a post in a minute encouraging people to submit comments to my Wordpress.

I do want to stay connected. I miss sharing about ships.

[astridreturns]

are you not still posting on shipcestuous-2 ?

Hi Anon,

Unfortunately, I don't have access to Shipcestuous-Two. Tumblr left it up but I can't edit it, or post to it, or do anything.

[astridreturns]

Hi Astrid, I had to come here to cry. I feel so persecuted because of my "narrative kink." My favorite new VN on Steam, Summer Scent, was just censored. It was a wonderful romance about a twin brother and sister. Now its not. Are we getting pushed off the internet? I remember the old days when kink shaming was bad and there was a place for everything. With this latest censorship and you (US! the whole community!) losing your blog again, I feel horrible. I don't know what to do or where to go. Bro/Sis is literally the only thing I like and am into AT ALL. I'm genuinely scared.

It's not a good era for incest shippers, that's for sure. I can only hope it's not permanent.

Around the time of the premiere of Game of Thrones, incest was appearing in quite a few mainstream things, and there was backlash. And I was afraid that backlash would result in a lot less incest content. And I think it probably did, but things like that fade. Eventually, writers want to go for it again. I hope that's the case here too.

It's a real shame about the VN you mentioned. That's terrible! It doesn't seem right that they can do that. I hope the real version will be available somewhere eventually.

[astridreturns]

I returned to tumblr only to find ur main blog missing!

I’m so bummed. I had stuff to share that I’m too shy to share on my main.

I'm sorry, Anon. I've got the same feeling. What do I do with my incesty ship thoughts?

[astridreturns]

I’m so sorry your blog was deleted. That’s ridiculous!

Here I was just gonna say… everytime I find myself enjoying something, I think it would be better with a little *ncest. 😆

If there’s already some *ncest, it needs to be more *ncesty.

Same!

Could always use more, right?

[astridreturns]

I'm so pissed your blog was deleted again for no reason. It took an unbelievable amount of time last time. I miss it so much. Please don't give up on it!! And keep publishing your commentary on your wordpress! I need this community!

You're very kind, Anon. Thank you for this message, I found it very encouraging. It feels good to be missed!

It has been about a month and a half. I'm so frustrated with Tumblr.

[astridreturns]

girl, i'm so sorry for the bs this goddamn website is putting you through AGAIN, I literally come back to tumblr only like once a month, sometimes even less than that, and all i do is check for messages, reblog 5 things about my current hyperfixation and check out your blog, that's what I was about to do today when I realized what happened :((( don't lose hope, these dumbasses don't know what they are doing and probably will back to you at some point, you just have to be extremely patient

Thank you!

It sure is irritating. You would think deleted blogs would take priority over whatever it is they're doing instead. And if they don't plan to restore it, why can't they just let me know?

[astridreturns]

i recommend just starting a new blog. tumblr support still hasnt answered me about my incest shipper blog that got taken down back in december 2024. sorry.

Thanks for telling me. That's awful.

It just makes me so mad. It's so disrespectful.

[astridreturns]

Friends, this is Shipcestuous

Hi all,

MY BLOG WAS DELETED AGAIN!

I sent an email to Support, like I'm supposed to. That was over a week ago. No response yet. I never received any email telling me about a terms of service violation. I don't know what happened. I do use a VPN, which some people have wondered might be a trigger. Was it the VPN? Was I reported by an Anti? Was it just bad luck? I don't know.

They terminated my account but left my sub-blogs (like @shipcestuous-two) up. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MY SUB-BLOGS. If you've sent messages there, I can't view them or reply to them, and I can't make new posts or anything like that.

There are some horror stories on this subreddit:

People who never got their blogs back, people who got their blogs back after six months, etc.

I should have made this post earlier. But today was the day I lost most of my hope that it would be restored any time soon.

If anyone knows of any other way to communicate with Tumblr aside from the official support channel, please let me know. Some of the methods recommended in that subreddit seem to be outdated, unfortunately, like tweeting TumblrSupport.

I will check this blog periodically but will not be resuming posting activities and such here, at least I don't plan to for now. It's just to stay in communication. I'm so fed up with Tumblr right now, as you can imagine.

Happy shipping!

And Happy June 27th! I was going to make a Boy/June27 post today. This will have to be it.

There may yet be hope

I’ve heard about some people getting their blogs back. Incensuous and Azdaema both did. But that was a week ago and there’s no word about mine!

There’s more hope than there has ever been but also I’m starting to stress out because it has been a week. Why is mine taking so long? I wish I knew if I was just down the queue or if there’s something different about my case and I might not get it back. 

I don’t really want to move forward on the new blog without knowing if I’ll regain access to the old one so I’m in a limbo.

Anyway, knock on wood!

[astridreturns]

Hi Everyone!

I know there hasn’t been a lot of activity. I can’t believe how many months it has been since the blog was deleted by tumblr! I just wanted you all to know that I have been slowly building a new one that will hopefully be even better and more organized. Trying to track down old commentary posts through waybackmachine has yielded a lot of results but been very time consuming. So it’s a slow crawl but it’s happening. I’m sure a lot of you don’t care that much about the old posts but I spent so much time writing them that it’s very important to me. 

I will update you!

[astridreturns]

Updates

I want to thank everyone for following on here and it makes me so happy to see so many familiar URLs in contact again!!

I wanted to update everyone. I am currently posting on shipcestuous2.wordpress.com whenever I come across anything that’s truly worth mentioning. Feel free to comment on there about whatever even if it’s off-topic, or you can @ me on the discord, which I check regularly. Or you can still send asks and messages to me on here, but I won’t be posting anything publicly for now. 

I have sent another round of emails to tumblr. I felt a renewed optimism when I learned that tumblr had a support phone number, but I have called numerous times over the past few weeks and only ever encountered a recorded message saying no one is available. So unfortunately that turned out to be a bust. They have support on twitter and I can always try emailing support from a different email or claiming I have a different problem, to see if that gets through to anyone. So I’m not entirely out of options but at this point it’s not looking good at all. 

I hope you all are doing well!
