Journey into Mystery

True, I've only read RG Veda twice, but I really, really, REALLY don't recall seeing any Karura/Karyoubinga subtext. Like, ever.

I don't know, man. If you're not romantically involved with anyone, it's possible the most important person in your life (note: not in the CLAMP "my most important person ♥" shippy sense, but literally speaking, as in the person you care about the most in general) could be a close relative or a best friend you're not attracted to or even a pet.

This is not an anti-incest rant. Hell, that fandom in particular has CANON sibling incest (see icon for proof). It's just that I find extreme to say the couple said above is "canon" in a romantic sense, because I really can't see it. Not everybody is Setsuka Sakurazuka or "A" the psycho triplet. I mean, if you want to interpret that Karura loves her little sis that way, be my guest. But saying it's canon? Why?

I don't know, maybe it's a revolutionary idea, now that incest shipping is so trendy, that people can actually put relatives (as relatives I'll say parent-child, siblings, and uncle/aunt-nephew-niece dynamics; cousins and step-relatives and creator-creature are something else) above anyone and anything else without wanting to bang them or seeing them as their twu wub. I see Karura/Karyou as something like Ed/Al: their main goal in life is the other one's restoration. Karura fights for Karyou's welfare and happiness. But it's also that she gives me the vibe of loving her little sis also like a daughter. Single moms pour all of them into their kids. Have you seen how mothers in general, even animals, usually are when you mess with their baby? Yup, that's Karura. Karura for me is even worse than Touya's sis complex because she's raising her by herself. She's her baby.

So, you can interpret that as a Setsuka kind of motherly love or your average mom/older sister love, sure. But since when that's *canon* incest?! Did I miss something, or is fandom seeing shit that's not there?
