Gwen and Jamie : Never directly stated to be twins other than they are really close and are the exact same age (then again I have 2 aunts born the same year, one in January and the other in November, but that doesn't seem to the case here). They are really warm and supportive towards each other and will fight anyone hurting the other while also respecting the other's boundaries.

Submitted context (possible spoilers) and propaganda under the cut

Sal and Walky : From the site's cast page:

Walky is his parents’ favorite child. He’s smart and he doesn’t get into trouble, but he could be a little more ambitious. He’s here at college because his parents want him to be, but mostly what he wants to do is watch television and goof off. Lucky for him that good grades came easily to him (in high school), so he figures college will be everything he’s ever wanted. No parents, no structure order — just eating McNuggets whenever, wherever.

Walky is Sal’s twin brother, and the two very different siblings haven’t really spoken much in a long while.

Sal’s parents always liked her brother Walky better, and so over the years she started rebelling more and more to get attention. This culminated in a double convenience store holdup that got her arrested and exiled to a Catholic boarding school in Tennessee for most of her teen years. Her parents expected her to find Jesus (or whatever), but she instead found smoking, tattoos, and motorcycles. As you can imagine, Sal turns a lot of heads, but she finds this mostly annoying. Stop idolizing her, dammit. She can’t help how cool she is.

Ghost Eyes octuplets : C'mon now. They were raised in a church in the woods. They used to do wolf roleplay. Their parents are murderers. Their family is haunted by mysterious beings. The only other teens they know are each other. THERE ARE 8 OF THEM!!!

Dani and Dorian : honestly one of most accurate sibling depictions of all time: funny, heartwarming, tragically bittersweet all at once. their dynamic and how they are always there for each other even when they have (very realistic) fights reminds me of my own siblings. wytte twins forever!!

Read The Ember Knight

Unsounded : Two sisters that squabble a lot given the massively unfair difference of fate they've been given in life, but they really do care for eachother, and it's the saddest shit I've ever read

The Ember Knight : They're so unhinged. Najin gets murdered before the series starts and Nagyunn steals his identity so he can find out why he died and get revenge for him. Along the way Nagyunn discovers that Najin had like a whole secret life he didn't know about.

Read It's Walky

Read Jupiter-Men

Submitted context (including spoilers) and propaganda under the cut

Walkyverse : Were separated at birth to hide them from the Martians because of their genetic modification, and Sal became an edgy badass after her adoptive parents were killed by not-Martian Aliens.

Originally, it was believed that Sal was swapped with a baby from another family because she was the stronger of the twins, and therefore need to hidden more from the Martians. But their mom later reveals that that Walky is the stronger of the 2 and she sent Sal away as a red herring so the Martians would falsely believe Sal was the more dangerous one.

Walky acts like an immature goofball as a coping mechanism resulting from a repressed traumatic event during one of the many alien abductions during his childhood (spoilers here)

Jupiter Men : The Avalon twins are teen superheroes. Quintin is Gusher, with slime-based powers and uses them in innovative ways, and Jackie is Powerhouse, who transfers electricity into different kinds of super-strengths. They also have quite the troublemaking streak as inquisitive kids who are VERY eager to use their powers as they see fit: Quintin for hero and vigilante work, Jackie for convenience and party tricks. Their dynamic as a idealistic/creative brother and a realistic/witty sister is not only believable, but also fun to read, and refreshing as a duo that have their own distinct personalities and lives outside of just "twins" like some media fall into the trap of.
