Or at least it is in geek circles, but I suspect the effect is universal.

I was just thinking along, minding my own business when I thought "Jackie Chan Adventures" "the tiger talisman, and good and bad copy", and then, "twisted sub/dom selfcest." I cant get it out! It wont go away! It burns! I can't unthink it! *descends into pitiful sobbing and twitching*
But seriously has anyone else had such twisted thoughts jump them from within their own brain? -

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I remember that a while back people were asking about conventions, so I will share a glimpse of my latest experiences:

The pocky game? Do I want to know?

The game itself is less squicky than it sounds by

AFAIK, two people start eating at the opposite ends of a Pocky stick (Those thin chocolate-covered biscuits Kyoko from Madoka Magica likes to chomp on. In Europe they are known as "Mikado", don't know if there is an American brand too.), and the first who stops to avoid "kissing" the other one loses. I think.
(Obviously, if the two people involved are in a romantic relationship the kiss is the goal.) -

In the vein of xkcd's "Making out with yourself" theme, the good/bad copies would certainly make for a... an interesting version of that. I don't think I could ever write it, but I'll bet done well, it could be a pretty good story. Toon-version Jackie might not be the best subject, but it could work.
And... uh, yes. Though as you might be able to tell from the above, that doesn't really register on my 'twisted' scale, at least not as more than a blip. -

But Legendary Badfic squickinesss can sometimes be re-interpreted, say, two characters across fandoms are pretty similar personalities, and if Character A does something squicky then I might imagine Character B doing it. And then I'll be like "How horrible I am, to make Character B do that!" And then comes the Bleeprin. Here, have some.

Sooner or later it'll bite you right in the [PUDDING].
Uhm, I occasionally thoughts sort of like that, only more, "What if I got cloned... and then the clone got genderbent? Would we have a kind of 'best friends who may be siblings' relationship? Would we fall in love? Would that count as narcissism? What would the kids look like?"
And no, I have not read any books on the subject of being romantically involved with your own clone or traveling back in time to become your own ancestor. It's something I am able to contemplate on my own, which is terrifying.
I also tend to imagine myself doing really horrible and/or life-threatening things, and how easy those things would be to do, and why I would never, never do those things... It's kind of like contemplating my own evil counterpart, and, again, is rather frightening.
Oh god... Oh god... Gah. "What would a badfic involving Aslan and Severus Snape riding off into a horny glose sunset be like?"

That's what a brain that's wired not to care about sex produces, Specs. And of course, those things don't sound squicky to me. There aren't a lot of things that do (amongst them: The Human Centipede and the consumption of faeces).

I think I'll stick with some nice, mournful, soothing Blues. if i understand it correctly the Blues, especially when combined with copious amounts of whiskey, creates an effect not unlike Bleepesteem.
