Re: LOTR

[philstar22]

Because that means Aragorn and Arwen were basically raised as siblings. So it kind of skeeves me a bit. But only a little because it is clear they never considered themselves siblings.

And yes, I realize that Arwen was an adult by the time Aragorn was born. But Elrond is still her father and he raised Aragorn. So that still screams sibling to me even if they never saw it that way. I get turned off at least a bit by anything that has the hint of incest. I feel the same way about Clueless.

Um, it says in the appendix that she's in Lorien the entire time Aragorn is being raised. They never meet until Elrond reveals to Aragorn who he is (when Aragorn turns 20), and right after that Aragorn meets Arwen for the first time. They're both adults when they meet.

Right, which is why I still ship and why it only skeeves me a little. Elrond still raised Aragorn, though. It still strikes me as at least hinting at incestuous. If in real life someone adopted a child after their biological child was grown, I'd be really bothered if those two children later hooked up. Fiction is different, especially when you're talking about one half of the pair belonging to an immortal race, but it still bothers me a little.

Re: LOTR

This seems really weird to me. The only one it would be at all incestuous to would be Elrond, and even then I'd have to stretch my imagination a lot to make that work.

Even in the real world (which doesn't remotely apply in this case), if someone adopted a child and raised it to adulthood without ever once meeting (or even hearing mention of -- Elrond never mentioned Arwen to Aragorn) the biological child, and then the biological child met the other child when they were both consenting adults (40 and 20 years old maybe?), I don't see a problem. They don't know each other. They're not siblings to each other. (Indeed, it would be less problematic in modern day because for this situation, the older child likely has no relationship with his or her father because how else could the adopted child never see or hear about this person beforehand?).

But if you want to be bothered by it, then whatever I guess.
