[twin-off]

Welcome to… the Twin Off!!!

In this competition, the first of its kind, sets of twins will battle against other duos to earn the title of ULTIMATE TWINS!!!

So let’s get some rules in place!

Who can be submitted?

Any twins! This includes clones, characters that are only implied to be twins, alternate universes, and other “it’s complicated” situations.

Can real life twins be submitted?

The answer is, tentatively, yes, purely because I want to submit myself and my twin (which means you can do this too, if you’re a twin). I reserve the right to not include real-life submissions that creep me out.

What about OCs?

OCs are fine, but it’d be convenient if you could provide art for me to use! :)

Are twins competing as a set, or against each other?

Twins are competing as a set! For example, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch would team up against Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.

Are multiple submissions allowed per person?

Sure! Yes! Absolutely! If you want to submit several sets, or just one a few dozen times, feel free!

Who is this being run by?

@pollackpatrol

Without further ado, here’s the submission form!

“Your welcome was rather disappointing, Jiang-zongzhu,” Jin Zixun calls mockingly. “Even your husband here failed to make us feel at home.” The obvious baiting is answered with a dangerously still, silent courtyard. Jin Zixun throws a glance at the three cultivators keeping Lan Wangji kneeling, chin tipped in a wordless order.

The blade hooked beneath Lan Wangji’s throat digs deeper, drawing more blood and he knows without looking that the red on the front of his robes is growing. Still no response. Lan Wangji can feel his wife’s presence, along with a handful of other qi signatures he recognizes as Jiang senior disciples. And he prays she doesn’t come out.

Jin Zixun’s grin is feral. “Very well.” But before the blade slides home and ends it all, the doors are flung wide and Jiang Cheng emerges. A silent breath escapes him. He should have known his Wanyin would not stand by. It is not in her nature.

Hair unbound and eyes flickering with Zidian’s energy, she looks like a wrathful goddess of lightning. Even where he’s forced to kneel, Lan Wangji can feel the electricity thrumming through his wrecked meridians, thinned to the point of snapping. Sandu’s naked blade gleams wickedly in one hand. And in the other, she carries their son.

She is not like his mother, bowing her head with furious acceptance of her fate and allowing her sons to be dragged away from her. She is not like her own mother, vicious in her pride and arrogance, blind to the needs of her children.

Jiang Cheng would do the impossible for those she loves. That is her strength.

Lan Wangji knows that there is no safer place for their son than in her arms.

Not you all already ignoring what she said

#yes i hate j*hn mayer as much as the rest but unlike jg... he doesnt stay in his lane and he definitely didn't when the og version came out #sooo maybe listen to her? #for a group of ppl who are determined to obey her 24/7... u sure pick ur moments to not do that unwisely

[joysmercer]

suddenly remembered how when boo came out someone scanned a pdf and uploaded it to google+ so i read it in a day (..skipping like 60% of it out of boredom) and then immediately went to youtube to see what people were saying because i had to be the weird one, right. like i had to be misinterpreting something cuz there’s no way rick would fuck up a book that badly. and then the first reviewer i clicked on opened their video with “what was that. what was that 😡” and i haven’t felt that level of validation since

#thinking a lot abt how fandom interpretation influences my love for something #cuz i def liked the og books better but i was #for all intents and purposes #a fan of hoo too #and i think it had to do w the characterizations found in the fic i was reading #cuz going back and rereading the series i’m like. actually yeah jg and pm were written Very Badly what did i see in them lol

Practiced Suffering

a/n: i'm in a mood

tw: mentions of gun violence and school in relation to each other; vague mention of a previously encountered situation regarding another teacher and student (though not necessarily involving affairs of any kind) reader's descretion is advised

Yan Fenglang realized very early on that the meaning of pain, the meaning of suffering, was very different here than what she remembered.

Here, pain was hurt. Here, pain meant being hit - being slapped - being stabbed. Here, pain was a tangible thing usually caused by something or someone else. Here the suffering of society only so far extended into the higher ups, the people who decided on what is to be done and how to get it done. The people who held and managed resources and held the duty of ownership.

Here, reputation was key - yet not in the way Yan Fenglang knew. There was no presence of anonymity, no concept of personas in the way that she knew. The delicate dance of society and propriety was a much less complex version to the one she knew.

For a woman born into a time where words meant more than their definitions, for a woman born into a day and age where mental fortitude is a valued strength, it almost seemed rather mundane.

"Work Hard. Play Hard."

She always felt the saying infuriating. The meaning made sense, good hard work always made for a more satisfying rest, yet in her world 'hard' could often be confused with 'suffering'. Hard meant dealing with unreasonable customers. Hard meant taking the abuse of superiors for fear of losing income and therefore safety. Hard meant struggling to decide the line between helpful and unhealthy.

Work hard play hard.

Even if she couldn't see, she needed to fire.

Even if she couldn't read, she needed to learn.

Even if she struggled to breathe, she needed to run.

She did. Even if it meant suffering.

What choice did she have? It was the way of her world, it is the way to survive. Suffering is a fact.

Until it wasn't.

In another life, Yan Fenglang cracked. In another life, Yan Fenglang would have raged to the heights of suffering and pain unlike never before seen, for this world has not yet seen a suffering so well endured. This world held no concept of the fragile mind hastily patched by platitudes of the well-meaning; this world was one of physical labor still.

Yan Fenglang's world was one of mind games and mental facilities. Yan Fenglang's world was one where a single income was calculated and split, Yan Fenglang's world was a massive test in patience and control. A constant battle of necessity vs. want to a scale beyond comprehension. Yan Fenglang knew exactly the thing to say to get something or to get out of it, she had undergone training of how to talk down the frantic and the crazed, the ones with little else left to tether their fragile sanities.

She was a teacher of her world, so she knew how to organize bunkers. She knew how to train children to hide in small spaces and not make a sound, she knew how to explain to a child how disguise their presence with the blood of another. She knew the exact words to coach a child on how to best deal with a gunshot. She knew how easy it was to never realize you had been shot in the first place.

She knew how to file a police report against a fellow professor.

She knew to backup incriminating evidence.

She went to the gym only because she needed enough strength to pull a great amount of weight with little to no issue. She knew a lot of things.

Her world was not easy, and neither was the one she found herself in. But sometimes, sometimes she was happy she was no longer where she was.

Sometimes, she was glad she died and escaped it.

The jgs WHAT now 😨 my dreams may be cursed but I am very normal about him (will not touch with a 10 ft pole)

But YES exactly! I've honestly thought about the whole thing for a while ever since a friend made me read her fav Isekai manhwas and I kept seeing all the comments complaining about MCs wanting to stick to the original plot and whatnot bc like

Transmigration already comes with some trouble by itself (the jarring experience of suddenly being in a completely different place and BODY. The different problems that arise depending on if you get the body's memories or not. Identity crisis. Depriving the og person and all those around them from. Everything. Whether it might be "love" or "the consequences of their actions". And what all of that does with you)

But transmigrating into a world where you're familiar with what's going to happen is just another layer on top of that because like you said, once you've changed something, even just a seemingly minor detail, it can completely spiral out of control and you lose the advantage. And in the absolute worst case it could be that you change some small things for the better but then the big things happen in a way you can no longer predict and thus prevent, or maybe become even worse. And that's definitely not gonna be a pleasant discovery to make. But even worst cases aside, being able to "predict the future" really can give you such a sense of security, especially in an unfamiliar environment where you'll inevitably feel very isolated in some way too, and I don't think that's something easy to give up

Or, you know. Maybe fate is a thing and your actions actually don't matter, they just make things happen in a different way. And how could you reliably tell the difference?

Sorry for being unable to shut up but it's honestly SUCH a fascinating trope for me especially since there's so many possibilities and potential that rarely gets explored even in stories that explicitly include or are about transmigrating! You can get really deep and philosophical about it even which is unfortunately my favourite thing to do haha

no please don’t apologize, anon, i am eating this up!! i don’t have anything remotely useful to add here either—why ruin an exemplary idea cake with my hack-ass dollar store-bought sprinkle commentary?

[this-daydream-is-dangerous-13]

Have you shared your thoughts on Labyrinth? I go back and forth on whether it’s H or YB. But she did leave it on the 3 a.m. edition, which makes me think it’s less likely to be YB.

The plane references really remind me of Harry as well.

B, great ask! As I started writing about Paris and Glitch, I thought “I am going to have to talk about Labyrinth, too, because I haven’t” and your ask appeared.

As I said in the previous reply, I see/saw Paris, Glitch, and this is as “love songs about the VERY early YB days”. But of the three, I think this one has the greatest potential to be about HS.

First, though: Taylor did not remove any tracks from OG Midnights with the subsequent CD releases. She kept them all; she only removed stuff from the 3am tracks (to have space for new stuff in the physical CDs). So Labyrinth was saying, no matter what.

But there is enough ambiguity in these lyrics that it could go either way.

Is this her emotional state in Fall 2016? Or is it the fear and anxiety she felt during the early, Cruel Summer of 2012 days/the anxiety described in OOTW, based on past heartbreak?

The way she’s describing it here—the speed, the intensity—is not how she usually describes falling in love with with YB (“went from friends to this”). It is, however, much more in line with the Treacherous, “meteor strike”, etc. she uses to describe falling in love with HS. And we know her hesitation (MIAB), based on some of his 1D lyrics from that period (Back for You, She’s Not Afraid).

Also: both JM and JG have been described by previous and subsequent partners as “love bombers”, and both hurt her badly. She was super, super cautious and scared to trust the speed and intensity of their connection, which makes sense.

She had also been single for a while between JG (on and off stuff ending) and meeting HS. (Whereas with YB, there was CH overlap at first meeting and TH overlap at the second).

As you mentioned - flying metaphor.

HS was willing to support her, keep things secret, do what she needed. He saw her, too, and wanted her to be happy.

I get the sense that the official narrative is: YB helped me through the roughest parts of 2016 because we fell in love. Which - lyrics work for that, because she’s Blondie.

And since she’s her: the lyrics possibly map to an earlier time period (where she was getting over heartbreak/fear) where she is quickly falling in love (like snow on a beach) with an entirely different person.

She’s tricky, our beloved!

Thanks for the ask.
