But what if Darrell and Bright Eyes (Bartholomew Evan?) were twins?
One of them is taller, and jokes about hogging up the womb make regular appearances in conversation. Also, them pulling the "I should have absorbed you in the womb, you ugly fuck!" on occasion.
Bright Eyes is 6'0" and Darrell is 6'3" but B is noticeably heavier.
B is a lot more physically conditioned than Darrell. You look at him and immediately know he's in the army.
Darrell doesn't have tattoos. He has his ears pierced and all but he's not the type of guy to get tattoos on a whim. He is the sort of sap ♥︎ to get something that represents his partner, though. Either their name or some imagery or both, but never portrait tats.
B is tatted up. Lots of death imagery there. He probably has a grim reaper tattoo somewhere and a stereotypical "Semper Fi" or "USMC". He definitely has a cute lil flash she-devil pinup. 8 ball. Horror movie characters (Leatherface or maybe even the Predator). Throw in a casual "Creeping Death" in there.
He has Darrell's name tattooed. Maybe a lily to represent Susannah. Maybe even 5 lilies to represent all his siblings.
Definitely has a black sheep tattoo.
I also see B being really into scarification. Darrell tells him not to get any because they're both keloid-formers, and it's difficult to predict how they might heal up. Didn't stop B from getting Y-shaped autopsy scars, though.
B is loud only when Darr is around. If his twin is out of sight, you're not getting a word out of him. Very moody. Sometimes he's up for laughs, but when his social battery drains he's not responding.
Both absolutely love corn muffins. Will fight for the last muffin.
While Darrell loves chicken, B is a big sea food guy. Will 10 times out of 10 eat with his hands. (Watch him lick his finger clean go ahead).
Always fucks up his blood pressure after eating sea food and Darrell has to nurse him.
They have similar music tastes.
Darrell likes straightforward metal bands like Slayer and Sepultura. B likes shock rock theatrics like Rob Zombie’s and Alice Cooper’s.
Darrell prefers boxers over briefs.
B prefers briefs over boxers.
B is a dog guy.
Darrell is a cat guy.
Both are bisexual. Guess who leans more to which.
B has a higher alcohol tolerance and is the designated driver after a bar trip. He likes to see Darrell struggle while walking. Many bruises have been sustained on the long walk from the driveway to the porch.
B would love analog horror so fucking much I swear to God. The goddamn freakazoid.
I honestly can’t decide who would have longer hair.

Diary of a (smitten) Mariachi
I've been having all types of thoughts about Mariachi James Potter, like you cannot honestly tell me that he would not thrive in it. I think his grandfather would have been a famous Mariachi and he just taught James how to sing and how to play the guitar.
When he was in Uni, he didnt want to depend solely in his parents money so he decided to put his grandpa's lessons in good use and start a small business out of it with a couple of friends and cousins that lived in the same city. They got pretty famous, especially when his cousin Mary decided to do a YouTube channel and a Tiktok account for the band.
And look, in the 3 years he has been doing this, he has come across some weird and scandalous shit. Until now his favorite was when a dude hired them to serenade his wife (apparently they had a fight) but when the woman didn't appear in her balcony the guy was so mad he asked them to come with him to go and serenade his mistress instead.
Yeah, fun times. At least that girl did love it.
Today, they had a morning job for a birthday. The guy who hired him (Barty, if he remembers correctly) gave him a rundown of what he wanted to happen, and James knew almost instantly this was one of those prank serenades. He hoped this Regulus guy didn't beat the shit out of anyone for waking him up with guitars and trumpets.
When they arrived to the house address, he could see they guy that he must assume is Barty waiting for them outside with a mischievous grin on his face.
"I gather that you're James Potter no?" The guy asked
"Pleasure to meet you" James said, shaking his hand "are you Barty?"
"The one and only" Barty confirmed. He quickly explained that his friend Regulus would be waking up in half an hour, so they had to be quick going upstairs (the house was fucking gigantic). When they were outside the door, all of them started to prepare their instruments and do a last check up on their clothes (Mary fixed James hat bc apparently it got crooked). He could see Barty taking out his phone, most probably to start recording everything, and then they went inside the room.
From the first notes of the trumpets and the violins, James could see clearly how the boy that was before sleeping so peacefully jump up so high he almost rolled out of the bed. But when he raised his head to see them, James breath hitched in astonishment.
That had to be the most prettiest boy he has ever seen.
Even bleary-eyed, with a dry trail of drool on his chin, and sheet marks in his cheeks, James could only think that he would really like to sing every love song ever invented to him, isn't that crazy?
"Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el Rey David..." (This are the mornings that the King David sang about) James started as normally, he has sang Las Mañanitas a thousand times, the Vicente Fernandez version being one of the most popular, but James just didn't want to sing that one, it was to impersonal, so he just decided to throw the protocol out of the window and sing the version he really wanted.
"A los muchachos bonitos, se las cantamos aquí" (To the pretty boys, we sing it to them here)
"Si el Sereno de la esquina me quisiera hacer favor, de apagar su linternita mientras que pasa mi Amor" (If the watchman in the corner would be so kind, of turning off his little lamp while my Love passes by) He could feel the gazes of all the band members piercing through his skull, and for a moment James thought that maybe he shouldn't have sang the more romantic version of Las Mañanitas with a band full if family members and friends who could understand Spanish, he was fucked for the next family reunion, but Regulus face when he saw him sing made it worth it.
Remnants of sleep still filled his eyes, and when the song started he was in the middle of cursing Bartys whole bloodline out, but when he locked eyes with him, James could perfectly see how Regulus entire face turned into a beautiful shade of cherry red. He just sat in his bed with his gaze fixed on James while he sang about birds singing and the Moon hiding out, giving way to the beautiful morning that resided in his eyes.
"Si no estas enamorado, enamoráte de mi" (if you're not in love, fall in love with me) he sang with a small smile in his face, and he delighted himself by how Regulus face went even more red.
He sang the rest of the song effortlessly, and when he finished, James and all of band did a small bow in Regulus direction.
"Happy Birthday Mr. Regulus" James said with a soft smile on his face.
"Eh- ehm thank you" Regulus responded, sounding awfully flustered.
"Well that was no fun, you didn't even make that much of a fuss" Barty whined on the other side of the room "I bring you your favorite Mariachi as a present and you couldn't even give me more drama?, please Reg" James could exactly pinpoint the moment Barty realized he fucked up, did Regulus already knew James?
"BARTY!" Regulus hissed out, throwing a pillow that landed directly in Bartys face.
"You are a fan of ours?" James asked surprised, Regulus type was not exactly their normal audience
"You could say that..." Regulus mumbled
"He has watched all of the videos where you are and-" another pillow was thrown to Bartys face, the beautiful color red coming backbto Regulus cheeks.
"Well I am honored" James chuckled softly, before deciding that he might as well be bold, even if it was deeply unprofessional "Its not all days I find out such a beautiful boy is a fan of what I do"
The compliment got him exactly what he wanted, which was a small gasp and more of that beautiful blushing, oh he was down bad. Regulus opened his mouth to say something, but Mary used that moment to (rudely) interrupt them
"I am deeply sorry to interrupt, but today we have another job in the other side of the city, so we should get going" Mary interjected softly, looking a mixture of amused and regretful (as she should be, why is he interrupting hid attempts to woo the love of his life???) "Happy Birthday again Mr. Regulus"
All the band echoed the congratulations, before softly taking the instruments and leaving the room. James almost wished Barty had payed for more than one song. Mournfully, he gave Regulus one last glance before tipping down his hat and saying "Happy Birthday, Amapolita dorada" before leaving the room.
While going down the stairs, he was being teased by Mary and the others about how obvious his little crush was and how annoyed they where that he changed the song version at the last minute (they were not really, but they do sure liked to whine).
It was not until he was going out the door that he heard frantical footsteps going down the stairs, and James just stood there at the door, hope filling his heart when he saw Regulus disheveled form looking at him.
"Listen, I probably am reading the situation wrong but-" Regulus said breathlessly "If you like, wanted to go out or something..."
James never accepted something so fast in his life "absolutely, I want to see you again"
He could hear Regulus breath hitch, breathing out a soft "Oh, well" before pressing a piece of paper in James chest "it's my number, text me ok?"
"Oh I will" James smile was blinding, he got the interest and the number of one of the most handsome guys he has ever seen, and he was not wasting this golden opportunity so easily. In an act of chivalry (and maybe stupidity) he softly took Regulus hand and slowly took it to his lips, leaving a soft kiss in the dorsum of his hand "Until we meet again, Regulus"
"Until then, James" Regulus sounded breathless, and James smirked in delight at the knowledge that Regulus did know him before the performance.
Since then, everyone could see that James Potter sang love songs with a bit more sweetness to it, as if really really knew what he was singing about. With the beautiful muse that he had, how could he not?
