"clones" identical twins? you are describing identical twins with a birth delay
Trina and Marvin are so very tragic and I feel like people don’t understand them. Fundamentally, people don’t understand Trina, and that’s detrimental to them both, because Trina is so very similar to Marvin. She’s quick to anger, she’s loud, she’s mean, she’s sweet, she’s loving the people around her the best she can even when everything in her life is hurting her.
Marvin and Trina are perfect for each other, really. They compliment each other in a toxic way, yes, but it’s no different than Whizzer and Marvin. In another world they would have been able to work out, given time to work on themselves the way Whizzvin did between acts. Yet, of course, the problem is that Marvin cannot love Trina because he is not straight.
The tragedy of Marvin and Trina is not ‘Marvin doesn’t love Trina because he’s gay’ it’s ‘Marvin loves Trina but he’s gay’. It’s ‘Marvin wants to love Trina but he can’t’. It’s ‘Marvin and Trina match each other but they can’t ever work’.
I am a gay man. I dated a woman for a very long while, in my own opinion, though not quite ‘ten year marriage with a kid’ type long. My girlfriend was in many ways perfect— perhaps in every way she was perfect. I would have married her, I think… but I couldn’t. Because as much as I loved her, I didn’t love her, due to the fact that I am gay.
This is where Trina and Marvin sit, and it’s in this space where their respective characters can be seen and analysed very deeply. Marvin would have been happy and perfect with Trina (so long as he had some actual good therapy and got over some anger issues), so it’s not the fact that he’s realising he doesn’t love her, it’s the fact that he feels broken because he should, if not her, then who?
For Trina, well, she hates Marvin and Whizzer because this is the proof that she did nearly everything right. She’s smart, she knew Marvin was cheating for quite a long while before she found him in that den. Trina must have thought that she did something wrong, that somehow she wasn’t a good wife, but the truth was of course that she did everything right. And that still wasn’t enough.
Trina hates Whizzer, and Marvin, because she is the same as them in every way. She hates Whizzer because they are quite truly the same person, and Marvin loves him over her because Whizzer is the one thing she can and will never be— a man.
In conclusion, Marvin and Trina are tragic not because they don’t love each other but because they do and it wasn’t enough.
the amount of time that i spend thinking about my characters while also doing absoloutely nothing to advance their story is ASTOUNDING

You know what's wild?
Your body- like, the one you're existing as? Your mind prison?- it's not a wholly independant entity. It's an ecosystem. You're a bog that's self-aware
someone asked me for more protective bruce, and i heard tim was having a hard time recently in the comics, so here's a sketch of bruce shielding a young tim at a gala they're both at
he/him, artist, writer, heavily hyperfixated on dc (specifically the robins rn), traumatized and has the attention span and general inflection of a small insect thats been stepped on. enjoy
