hello and welcome to twinsoftheday!! this is a blog that documents sets of twins from various media for no reason other than that i thought it would be fun. inspired by blogs such as @canonlgbtcharacteroftheday, @canonlgbtcharacters, genderoftheday (rip), and @fashiondolloftheday. (also note that i am no longer posting daily, just whenever i have the urge to lmao)
navigation: fraternal twins | identical twins | same-gender twins | mixed-gender twins | clone/double twins | honorary twins | played by twins | dual role | animation | live action | movies | tv shows | books | comics/graphic novels | podcasts | dolls | games | web series | ocs | shitposts | mod posts
complete rules and submission guidelines are under the cut, but just know if you joke about incest it’s an instant block <3
submission guidelines:
submit your characters using the ask box.
name both characters and the media they’re from (example: hallie parker and annie james from the parent trap).
state which categories apply to the characters (example: sharpay and ryan evans from high school musical, fraternal and mixed-gender twins) [note: clone/double twins do not count as identical twins unless there is a specific in-universe reason for them to (e.g. they were raised to believe they were identical twins), so please clarify that if you are submitting identical twins where one or more is also a clone/double]
only include a picture if there’s a specific one you want me to use (do not use fanart unless 1. there is no canon art of the characters and 2. the artist has given permission).
try to specify which version of the characters you're talking about if there are multiple adaptations (example: ruth and connie batten from the malory towers book series)
the honorary twins category is for characters who are not twins (they don’t even have to be related!!) but have a close, twin-like bond. when you submit characters for honorary twin consideration i’d appreciate a bit of propaganda (example: will byers and eleven/jane hopper from stranger things. they consider each other family, are both the same age, and also share many thematic parallels, so i consider them honorary twins).
ineligible for submission: triplets (or quadruplets and so on and so forth), real people/historical figures/celebrities (unless it’s funny, i’m obviously gonna post shit like the da vinki twins), characters in romantic relationships with each other (mostly applies for the honorary twins category but again no twincest shit).
eligible for submission: non-human/animal characters (just clarifying because some people asked), mythological figures (e.g. historical people who weren’t real), and your own ocs!! as long as you provide art you have drawn/comissioned/have permission to use (picrews are not eligible because i don’t want the blog to become clogged up with them).
do not submit incestuous characters. i made this blog to catalogue twins in fiction because i myself am a twin, and funnily enough i'm not interested in posting about incest. (this is not an indication of whether i believe incest can exist in fiction; obviously people can write whatever they want.)
banned characters (some of whom were submitted despite my rules being VERY CLEAR): junko and mukuro from danganronpa (incest), mcu maximoff twins (racism), and anyone from harry potter (FUCK JKR 🍅🍅🍅)
other rules:
as i said above, i have the right to not accept any submission for any reason. at the end of the day this is my blog so please respect that <3
i’ve already said this but no joking about incest for the love of god- (and don’t try to be funny and send me an anon ask about it, i'll just delete it).
i will do my best to tag spoilers but i'm not familiar with every piece of media i post so i may miss some. please let me know if this is the case.
absolutely no bigotry of any kind (yes, that includes terfs. fuck off).
if you ship two characters that someone submitted as honorary twins, you can do yourself a favour and scroll past. i don’t have the time of day for unecessary discourse.
and in case you didn't catch it before: yes i am a twin lmao (and if you have any recs for media featuring twins where the whole plot isn't 'omg they're twins so quirky 😳' then send em my way)
hey y'all i'm very busy at the moment and also just don't have that much interest in running this blog at the moment!! gonna be on indefinite hiatus for now <3
update on the hiatus: basically i'm just gonna come back to this blog whenever i want to make a post!! so no longer a daily thing but i'm still here and might re-open submissions after a while <33

Okay! I have a couple of suggestions, but I have a question... one fandom, I want to recommend, has bunch of twins, that can fit into this blog, but I struggle with the fact with that pair of twins (I wasn't going to submit them, because it's against the rules), so I wondering if it's okay to submit the rest?
you're fine to submit any characters that don't break the rules!! i don't have any whole fandoms blacklisted (except h*rry p*tter because i don't want to give its creator any semblance of positive attention). if you're unsure just submit the characters anyway and i can make the executive decision myself <3
queue is empty at the moment btw. i have a couple submissions that i will get to eventually but i'm gonna be taking a short break from running this blog bc i'm very busy with irl stuff. expect me to be back by next month at the latest.
