That's always a sticking point with these characters she writes. She wants the world the characters inhabit to be constantly going on about the two lovebirds, only the past few times she's written the same damn characters she's made them biological sisters and the world can't stop remarking upon how strange it is that they're so close. Which, naturally, leaves the reader to notice this too. How can they not when it keeps being brought to their attention by characters in the story? The only conclusion to draw here is that Lily wants you to think this relationship is a little strange, or at least that she knows it is not normal for siblings to be cuddling like this into their twenties. It's not normal for siblings to be so co-dependent they would kill themselves or just be unable to live without their sibling. It's weird to portray one sibling as basically having to sacrifice their own independence for the sake of their sibling, like forcing their spouse to just get used to sharing a bed with their sister. And living with their sister. Permanently.
Imagine a writer keeps mentioning their characters farting. Like, just several passages about one or more characters breaking wind. Maybe it's played as a joke, maybe it's not, but it keeps coming up. And even if nothing explicitly sexual happens regarding farts, what conclusion is the audience left to come to other than the writer has a weird infatuation with farts? Why would the writer keep talking about incest in their personal life? Why would they keep writing relationships that everyone thinks is incestuous (but isn't)? I think the answer is obvious.
Edit: Unrelated to the above, but what a cowardly fucking rating. Like she really thought she was cooking here. She didn't WANT to change her rating, but she was getting made the butt of the joke on Twitter too hard so she thought she'd calm them down by adding a B+ with the addendum of 'If You Like the Main Character.' Yeah, just grade an exam like 'This would be an A+ if I, personally, liked your open-ended responses.' She'll do this whenever she says anything too controversial or against the grain, like how she famously accused Rebecca Sugar of being a Nazi sympathizer, but weaseled around it by saying 'I wouldn't blame you if you came to that conclusion after watching my video where I suggest as such, but I'm not saying she is.'
Push comes to shove Lily is a sniveling coward who won't stand by anything she says, but doesn't want to couch her language to avoid such scenarios in the future She wants to just be able to say and retract whatever she wants at a moments notice, when it's convenient. Like some dumb kid who makes bomb threats, but when they get called into see the principal or police they start crying and insisting it was just a joke and they never meant what they said. Everything she says both is and is not actually what she said.
