Not in this panel.

Where‘s aj‘s hat though?

dat applejack tongue sure looks soft…

@Aasha  
Almost definitely because you’re counting your ancestors being linked through marriage.

@Keith Mowz  
Heh. I never thought of it that way but you’re right. Go back in the family tree far enough and any two people would fall under the same relation.

@DragonOverlord2012  
If they think that then they’re fucked, because then sex with pretty much every other human is going to be incestual.

@Background Pony #71AB  
Point well taken. I vaguely remember in the show it was an absurdly distant relationship (though the specifics escape me), and more clearly remember it was unconfirmed. To a lot of people though, related is related, no matter how distant. How people think doesn’t always make sense though.

I thought it was an OC in the middle from the thumbnail. never have I been more surprised/satisfied in a “manestream” porn drawing.

Another reason this “looks like Braeburned” is because Braeburned draws a lot of Apple family stuff in Apple family locations.
 
… who and which are all almost solely warm-colored. Red, orange, yellow, brown.
 
Pretty much anybody who draws the same thing is going to look similar just from the color balance.

I’ve seen many artists who’s style clearly reflects Brae, Atryl, etc and that’s okay! Even I have incorporated certain aspects of my favorite artist’s style into my own work, consciously or otherwise. We all learn from one another, especially when you’re just starting out.

@Background Pony #71AB  
more importantly, AJ and big mac in a threesome, even if they are not directly fucking each other, can be considered incest

Very, very much like braeburned’s art. I thought he drew it when clicking on it.  
not a bad thing though, he did make tutorials and all.

@DragonOverlord2012
 
It’s amazing how people think that given the distant (possible) relationship between the Apple family and the Pie family that ApplePie is still incest.
 
By that logic, FDR was committing incest.

@SHsurreal
 
Oh right, I forgot, Braeburned owns the concept of Apple family incest…

@SHsurreal  
IF ANYTHING its braeburn for straight people

Have things come to the point where having a similar art style is being a knockoff? I thought we at least saved the term for when someone was at least ripping someone else off creatively.
 
If I drew the Mona Lisa I’d consider it a knockoff to Leonardo’s original.

@thps48  
it is kinda similar, tbh, but nowhere near close enough to call it a knockoff

@SHsurreal  
This style doesn’t remotely similar to Braeburned’s. <_<

lmao they’re just a braeburned knock off

Applejack has to see if Marble is good enough for her brother :p

you guys are discussing incest? xD

It’s not incest if two siblings spitroast one unrelated partner… Unfortunately, touching is inevitable. >83

@Gemspark  
I’d say incest is appropriate given the fact that they might be cousins, and I’m fairly certain most of the fandom goes on the assumption that they are now. Even if their blood relation isn’t actually confirmed, it’s just easier to assume they and out the incest tag down, though to be fair there is a “possible incest” tag that would be fitting.
 
I’d argue against Applecest though, because Big Mac isn’t fucking Applejack, nor is he touching her at all in any way, sexual or otherwise.
 
@Background Pony #3B0E  

 
So all those pictures with Celestia and Luna involved in a three way, but not directly (or being implied to be) fucking each other in the same image need to be tagged with incest, do they? As well as similar scenarios involving other family members who are in sexual situations at the same time and place despite not being in any kind of direct sexual contact with one another? Well then it sounds like you have some work to do. Get tagging, genius.
 
No. It is not incest because they are having sex with the same person at the same time. You don’t call a threesome with twin girls incest. You do not call being spit roasted between two brothers incest. It is only incest if they are actively pleasing one another in a sexual manner. This is not Applecest. ApplePiecest, yes, but not Applecest.
 
As a general question to whoever else is reading, on a tangentially related note, why isn’t ApplePiecest a tag? Is it because that’s awkward to say out loud?

@Gemspark  
I’d say it counts as incest mostly because they’re both engaged in a threesome. Doesn’t matter if it’s not directly with each other.

Incest? I know they’re with the same mare at the same time, but in this case does the ‘incest link’ travel through Marble? Or is it due to their potential distant family relationship?
