Rickorty Propaganda (Incest - Morty is Rick's Grandson. MinorxAdult, AdultxChild, Abusive Dynamic)

"Throughout the show Rick and Morty are paralleled as a couple SO MANY times. The two main times I can think of are episodes `Forgetting Sarick Mortshal`/`Rickmurai Jack` and `Full Meta Jackrick`. In the first two episodes they basically break up, saying things like "they need time apart". In the other episode, they literally get married. The show also makes it a very important point that Mortys were made for Ricks. Their brainwaves camouflage Rick brainwaves so it's important that they're always together. Their relationship is also extremely toxic."

Pinecest Propaganda (Incest - Dipper and Mabel are twin siblings, Twincest)

"Italy and Romano are eachothers perfect half. They make the country of Italy together, fought countless wars to be united, and even if with some individual and couple issues, they very much still have so,so,so much care and love for one another. Romano even gets jealous at Japan and Germany for just sleeping in the same bed as his brother when Romano's not around, gosh! And not to mention, grumpy x sunshine dynamic + brother incest, what more can you ask?"

Comship Bracket 2 | Round 1 | Segment 5 | Poll 3: Velphi VS MakoYuma

Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

Velphi Propaganda (Pseudo-Incest - Laphicet is the reincarnation of Velvet's unborn nephew, Age Gap - Laphicet is 10 while Velvet is 19, MinorxAdult, Possible Abusive Dynamic - Velvet initially not quite treating him as a person, and then proceeding to treat him as a replacement for her dead brother. She also pulls Laphicet's hair when angry and doesn't apologise for it)

"Their character arcs are inseparably intertwined. The two of them push each other to be People (Laphicet gaining individuality after spending most of his life a partially brainwashed Literal Slave, and Velvet remembering that Positive Emotions Exist after being traumatized and then immediately spending 3 years in solitary confinement).. At first their dynamic is genuinely terrible (at least for Laphicet); Velvet starts out barely seeing him as a person, and when she does start to see him as a person, the person she's seeing is her dead brother. But as the two of them grow, Laphicet gets more assertive and Velvet starts to see him as himself."

"Anyways, have a transcription of one of their best scenes: `No, I don't 'understand'! You snap at people! You're scary! You--You tried to eat me! But… you're also kind… and you're filled with life! I don't understand a single thing about you! But you gave me a name, when I was a number! You gave me that compass! You taught me what it meant to be alive! That's why I care about you, Velvet! I'll protect you for my own sake! I don't care if you're malevolent! Or if it was pointless! If the world says it's a mistake to love you, I'll fight the whole world! I don't care HOW much pain you feel! It doesn't matter! A world without you, Velvet… is the one thing I couldn't bear!`"

"Additionally! The big scene the night before you head into the final dungeon is Laphicet combing Velvet's hair while they talk about the future, and for a bit they pretend everything's going to work out fine and plan out a life together. (video!!! https://youtu.be/golhLiuq78g?feature=shared&t=3273 )"

"Their last scene together is Laphicet telling Velvet he loves her, and Velvet agreeing and making him promise her that he'll live out the rest of his life to the fullest."

"LESS SERIOUSLY

Velvet uses a really gentle tone of voice when she talks to Laphicet that she never uses for anyone else.

Laphicet gets teased by another party member about being motivated by caring about Velvet and he just blushes and agrees

The hot springs sidequest ends up being a bodyswap plot, and the two of them ended up briefly swapping bodies (while naked). Afterwards, Velvet teasingly asks him if he peeked.and he truthfully says he covered his eyes the whole time, to which velvet just goes :I didn't :)" -- Velvet also invited Laphicet to bathe with her at a different point in the game, but he was too flustered and refused

In Rays (a crossover game), the two of them try to live together in peace before the plot ruins it" -- After the end of the initial story of Rays they do manage to live together peacefully, and the game won't stop reminding us of it in event stories"

MakoYuma Propaganda (Selfcest, Cannibalisation, Questionable Dynamic)

"Makoto and Yuma are the same coin, just different sides. Different paths. Makoto continued isolating himself, Yuma opened up and let himself risk being hurt in order to make connections with people. Makoto turned his back on the truth, Yuma fought to expose it. Also, Makoto is simply Yuma's flesh-eating homunculus clone. So they're literally the same person, genetically."

Soushin Propaganda (Abusive Dynamic, Potential Age Gap, Potential MinorxAdult)

"Sou and Shin are connected always. They met while Shin was in highschool (Sou has not had his age confirmed.) Sou was possessive and clingy, and `taught (Shin) a lot of things.` Sou knew that Shin would die in the death game, and wished to take his life himself- feeling it was his right to do so. Sou would scare Shin and mess with him, and yet, was kind enough that Shin wanted to stay. So, when Sou was murdered, Shin was heartbroken. Depressed. And confused. It felt so freeing, but, he missed Sou. Shin got the same scarf Sou would always wear, keeping it as a memento of their relationship. And then the death game came along. Shin was told he had a 0% chance of surviving- and thus, he decided he wouldn't be `Shin` anymore. He would be Sou. He would take Sou's name and mannerisms and survive. He's kinder than Sou was, but a bad person, still. He hurts others. He sees Sou in the main character, Sara, and in himself. And when Shin(Sou) meets Doll Sou, it's terrifying. Doll Sou is excited to see him again, intrigued by how he's changed. And he still loves him, still wants to kill him himself, but is also moreso focused on the death game. He's manipulative still, wanting to absolutely break Shin(Sou)."

Reimob Propaganda (Age Gap, MinorxAdult, MentorxMentee, EmployeexBoss)

"It’s psychic kid + fake-psychic boss who drags the kid along and makes him do all the exorcisms for him. They’re wonderful and charming, and end up fighting a lot of other psychics along the way. Psychic kid has a lot of issues with self esteem and bottling up emotions and his sleazy-ass boss is actually a good person and encourages him and helps him become more confident."

Ganonzelink Propaganda (Depends On Game - Abusive Dynamic, Age Gap, Sometimes MinorsxAdult, Possibly Incest One, Species Difference)

"These three are forever connected by a curse and a prophecy and reincarnate over and over and over again to clash. Link, the hero, Zelda, the princess, and Ganondorf, the evil king. Link and Zelda are usually pretty wholesome, they were incest once I think, but when you add Ganon to the mix it's just so scrumptious. Also, TOTK Ganon is HOT. Everybody was drawing him with Link and Zelda just drooling over him. `I can make them worse` vs `we can fix him` but then they just are queer for ten thousand years"

Spoilers for both medias under the cut

Niffany Propaganda (Abusive Dynamic, Arguably Yandere, Unhealthy Obsessions)

"Tiffany and Nica are just the cutest couple in the Chucky tv series. Tiffany is so in love with Nica that she was willing to kidnap and CHOP THE LEGS AND ARMS off of her just so they could be together forever. Every morning TIffany feeds Nica in bed, dresses her in adorable dresses, and then gags her with a cute pink ball gag so she doesn't scream while guests are over. Later in the series, Nica escapes with the help of Tiffany's two kids, and she becomes obsessed with getting revenge on Tiffany, wanting to torture her for what she did to Nica. I just think they're such an interesting pair and a super fun ship!!"

Seymorin Propaganda (Abusive Dynamic)

Seymorin as very much unwanted and suppressed mutual sexual attraction is an extremely fun dynamic that compliments and highlights the characters' personalities and motivations well. For anyone who hasn't seen Little Shop of Horrors, Seymour is in love with his coworker/friend Audrey, who is in a relationship with Orin, an abusive and sadistic dentist. Seymour lets Orin die to save Audrey from his abuse, and they start dating shortly after that. Audrey uses a fantasy of being a traditional 50s housewife as a coping mechanism for her horrible quality of life, and I swear that this fact will be relevant to the propaganda."

"Some of the other concepts I will bring up in this propaganda might not immediately appear to be relevant to the ship between Seymour and Orin either, but it'll all tie together in the end. Another important consideration is that the lines between subtext that objectively exists in the story and was intended by the writers and stuff that I completely made up aren't even clear to me, and there are substantial gray areas between those two extremes, but it's still a very fun dynamic."

"There is a decent amount of evidence in the text of the play and movie that Seymour believes that Audrey likes abusive guys like Orin, the two strongest pieces of evidence being that (in the play) he tries to impress her by wearing Orin's leather jacket (a week after his death, great going Seymour) and that (in the play and the movie) he states through a metaphor that he wants to be Orin or at least be a guy like him so that Audrey will want him. The line in question is `Gee I'd like a Harley machine, toolin' around like I was James Dean, makin' all the guys on the corner turn green!` and he sings this a few minutes after he saw Orin for the first time. Orin was driving a motorcycle, presumably a Harley but I don't know the difference between different kinds of motorcycles, and he drove off on it with Audrey. Seymour wants to be 'properly masculine' for Audrey like he thinks she deserves and wants and sees Orin as having this masculinity (as symbolized by his motorcycle, a symbol of masculinity, and the reference to James Dean, also a symbol of masculinity) despite his hatred towards him and his abuse of her."

"This is because he is presumably familiar enough with her to know that she fantasizes about being a 50s housewife and living a traditional 50s middle class suburban life, and thus he wants to be a proper '50s husband and provider figure' type guy for her to fit into that life. As this system of 50s gender norms was a breeding ground for abuse ranging from violent domestic abuse to inherent power gaps in romantic relationships, Seymour's sort of adoptive father and model for masculinity was neglectful and arguably abusive, and Audrey has probably been in some kind of abusive relationship for most of the time that he's known her, he believes that abuse is an integral part of this 50s lifestyle fantasy both objectively and from Audrey's perspective. The husband being a provider and protector is also an integral part of this fantasy in his view, and thus he conceptualizes of Audrey's hatred towards Orin and his abuse of her as resulting from Orin's failure to protect and provide for her, thus placing his abuse towards her in an 'improper' context. Despite this, he in a sense desperately 'wants to want' to be properly masculine like Orin and to be capable of providing for ALL of Audrey's desires like she deserves despite being viscerally uncomfortable with everything involved in Orin's hypermasculinity and having an 'inherent nature'/personality that is completely counter to it. He wants this so much that it starts to bleed into 'wanting' Orin himself in a sense despite him in theory only wanting women and in practice being extremely fixated on wanting Audrey to the exclusion of everyone and everything else."

"From Orin's side of things, I like to imagine that he heard Seymour's radio interview and figured out that 1. his girlfriend has a job outside of The Gutter (the way I phrased that is representative of his thought process and not mine, I love Audrey) and 2. Her coworker at that job (Seymour) obviously has a crush on her. This inspired him to go pick her up for a date at her other workplace so that he could show off his control over her to this guy who dares to have a crush on his girlfriend, assert dominance over him, and further prove his masculinity by doing so. And then said guy had the audacity to be cute. Which is incredibly annoying to Orin, because gay attraction (in his view) is feminine and not proper for a REAL man like him. And thus he, with the power of staggering amounts of cognitive dissonance, invites this guy in for a dental appointment so that he can torture and then kill him. Because if he kills him, he won't have to deal with the fact that he derives sexual gratification from him any more (but also he totally doesn't in the first place don't worry about it he's definitely completely straight), AND he can derive sexual gratification from the process of torturing and killing him. And of course someone who is good enough at cognitive dissonance to be completely joyful and at ease while torturing people every day is going to be able to hold these two conflicting motivations in mind without recognizing that something's off there or that his attraction towards his girlfriend's coworker miiiiiight have implications for his sexuality."

Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

MegaStar Propaganda (Abusive Dynamic)

"They're absolutely horrible to eachother but cannot live without eachother as well. If they ever get their shit together and actually get along, the cartoons would be like, 5 episodes max."

"On a scale from 1-10 on the problematic scale, this ship sits at `someone made a flag against this ship`. I wish i was joking"

Chosenshipping (Adoptive Incest - Siblings, Underage - ChildxChild [RGBY/GSC]/TeenxTeen[FRLG])

"When Blue and Silver were young children, they were whisked away by Bird Pokémon to be kidnapped by Gym Leader Pryce of Johto, who paired them together after pairing other children in a similar fashion. He made Blue and Silver wear masks of ice to keep their faces cold and hidden from the other person to prevent any feelings developing, but this just led to Blue and Silver looking out for each other more with how abusive Pryce had been."

"Blue ended up having a trigger for bird Pokémon, and Silver a struggle with not knowing his true father. With nobody else involved as family, Blue and Silver decided to call each other siblings. They began to treat each other as siblings, and planned their escape from the abusive situation. When Pryce's powers were weak, they removed each others' masks of ice, and Blue was delighted to see Silver's appearance, her face glowing in delight. Blue then went on to become a con artist and use her body to her advantage, and Silver left for Johto - Both intending to steal starter Pokémon." "Time passes, and we see Silver and Blue care for each other in more than sibling-like ways, too. Blue is a little TOO physically affectionate with Silver when she hugs him, almost glomping in some cases. Silver also gets jealous when others flirt with his sister, as though he has some romantic interest towards Blue, too. They chose each other after all the abuse they've been through, both as siblings and potentially as more, hence the name Chosenshipping. I love these two."
