Hey gang! Katie and Rin here, bringing you two totally ridiculous twins: Gavin (gavogletree) and Garrett (garogletree) Ogletree! Introducing and plotting together made sense since these two are attached at the hip so here we go!

The younger brothers of Tabitha Ogletree, Gavin and Garrett are sophomores in different houses (Ebonhide and Coppertale respectively), but seem strikingly similar to acquaintances and friends alike. Both boys are outgoing, (outwardly) confident, friendly, charming, and playful in a way that sometimes crosses the line into being mischievous (especially for Gavin). They're both also competitive, hard-working attention-seekers and exceptionally gifted musicians that play multiple instruments. They're the sort of twins that seem to share everything: they look the same, they act the same, and they can read each other's moods just by sharing a glance and finish each other's sentences. They even have a ~creepy twin language~ that they frequently use in front of other people and on the journals. They spend most of their time together and they're even in all the same classes and clubs! Specifically:

Classes: History of Magic, Charms, Potions, Transfiguration, Outdoor Education. Artificing, Astronomy. Music.
Clubs: Outdoor Exploration. Boating. Fencing.

Despite this, there are differences between them and those that know them well are aware of this. Gavin is the dominant of the pair, simultaneously protective and caring and controlling when it comes to his brother. He is also the less responsible of the pair, more willing to push boundaries and break rules. While he seems like the stronger of the two in some ways, he struggles more with being alone and largely defines himself in terms of his brother. Garrett is more submissive; he typically allows Gavin to make decisions for both of them and defers to his brother's opinions. Though he does occasionally have rebellious impulses and wants to be more separate from his brother. He also has a more defined sense of right and wrong that has only become more pronounced since he became a prefect.

While the twins are very close, coming to Gooseberry has changed their relationship. One of Garrett's aforementioned rebellious impulses landed them in different houses, forcing them to spent more time apart than they ever have in their lives. Garrett becoming a prefect pushed an additional wedge between them, particularly because it put an end to the previously semi-common practice of trading places. While mostly just for fun and laughs and minor mischief, this was also done to help improve Garret's grades. Because of his undiagnosed dyslexia, he struggles with schoolwork and exams more than Gavin does and the two started switching places during tests periodically at a very young age to balance out their academics. Gavin thinks this is justified because the system doesn't know how to accommodate people like Garrett; Garrett has come to see it as cheating and has been taking the high road to his own degradation.

It's complicated.

Seeking!

Mutual friends! Gavin and Garrett are fairly popular and have a lot of friends, most of which are casual because their relationship with each other typically supersedes other close friendships. Because they're almost always together, it's hard to befriend one without the other. Potential exceptions to this include cabin mates and prefects, though others could be discussed.

Fellow musicians! Gavin and Garrett play a handful of instruments between them and if you're a musician, they want to jam with you. Either to make beautiful music or prove they're better than you? Either way.

Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!: Gavin and Garrett went to Ilvermorny and were in Thunderbird! Old friends are welcome~

Other stuff!! We're open to whatever and love to plot~ Hit us up.

i am not responsible for mixing them up. i'm saying it now: i'll never get it right, IC or OOC. AND I WON'T APOLOGIZE. NEVER.

[garogletree]

On that front if you want to hate us go look at their icons :D

[knightly]

lmao i was so mad at their near-identical journal names and identical icons

the ONLY way i could tell ivy and laurel apart for a few weeks was their usernames

I'll be back with something better, but...

[jijmjr]

Jesse doesn't trust twins and can NEVER tell them apart. But also will be down to jam since his band recently evaporated.

Cricket loves the twins and has known them since they were fairly young, so she can ALWAYS tell them apart

[gavogletree]

Yeeeees. Jam with them, Jessie! Though, the instruments they play aren't super useful in a conventional band sense. Both play the piano and violin, Gavin also plays the clarinet and the trumpet, and Garrett also plays the flute and the saxophone. So. Diverse, but not necessarily useful?

CRICKET. DON'T RUIN THEIR FUN CRICKET. :(

[garogletree]

YEAH DON'T RUIN THEIR FUN CRICKET :(

[gdilevi]

levi's weird babies :'C he loves them

[gavogletree]

This feeling is entirely mutual, senpai~ ♥

[browbeats]

I was also gonna say I'll be back with something better but lbr I won't

Nate's macking on your sister yo~

And Jeffy has literally never called them by their right names once. It's almost a skill. Like you would think by the law of averages eventually he would have gotten it right at least once, but SOMEHOW NO.

[garogletree]

Lol Jeffy - they legit love it I'm sure

[duelled]

MORE TWINS YAY

[garogletree]

YES ALL THE TWINS!!!

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

AHH I'M EXCITED but ok here we go real quick~

Rafael is a Coppertale prefect so he'll know Garrett through prefecting... and Gavin through shenanigans. Whether he thinks they're adorable or infuriating REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

Reid is a year about Garrett in Coppertale so they probably run into one another sometimes. He's... Reid. You know.

Diego........... notoriously cheated on their big sister. I'd ordinarily say he'd connect with them over music and think their antics were fun, but. Uh. THAT ALL HAPPENED SO HE MIGHT NOT BE ON THEIR GOOD SIDE.

Calvin is in their year and... they're cute boys so... up until like a month ago HE COULDN'T DEAL WITH IT and was rather prickly. He's defrosting, though.

[gavogletree]

US TOO~

Soooo, obviously, more connections for Garrett, but on Gavin's side!

Prefects in general get a little more scrutiny from him than other people (BECAUSE THEY ARE BROTHER THEIVES), but there may be enough things to like or find interesting about Rafael that it'll balance out. Also depends on how adorable and/or infuriating he finds them, I suppose!

Reid is Reid, yes. I don't imagine there's much overlap there. He's impressed with your flying and your spider monkey-ing, there, guy?

Diego...yeah, they could've gotten along very well, but cheating on Tabitha botched that right up. I doubt that Gavin or Garrett get in his face about it, but there's a definite undercurrent of dislike there. They'll come to your parties and drink your booze and encourage your shenanigans, Diego, but they don't like you. :| He is going to kick your ass at the clarinet!

I don't imagine that the twins had much of a problem with Calvin's prickly attitude; they probably just kind of lol'ed and let it roll off of them and were still pretty friendly toward him. Unless he was actually insulting one or the other of them directly. Then it's on. But I don't imagine that being an issue. So maybe decent relationship but not exactly friends?

[dooomcookie]

YASSSSS. So excited!

I'll actually reply when I'm not on my phone, but just wanna insert here that while identical, I've always liked Finn more because he has more ~swag~ in the videos. But I haven't watched for awhile so. Here's hoping I still got the ability to tell them apart!

[gdilevi]

finn has a widow's peak, jack has wonky teeth before he got them fixed.

[laaurel.insanejournal.com]

YAY

connections everywhere!! i'll respond to this better tmmrw! ♥

[bambae]

Okay so

Solomon's in Gavin's house and also his roommate. He's chatty, but he's also introspective, and understanding and chill. I imagine he's extremely low maintenance and easy to live with. He has a maturity to him that enables him to accept people and expect very little from them. He's also a fellow musician and plays several instruments himself, tho obviously prefers the violin. But he also prefers a wide range of music. His senior project is gonna attempt to combine violin and hip hop music.

I also imagine he can tell them apart just because he lives with Gavin? But I also imagine he likes Garret all the same too, because Solomon likes everybody and treats everybody like a friend anyway.

Chris and Olivia are in coppertale, and Olivia will know Garret through prefecting. Chris will refer them as thing one and thing two tbh. He prolly tried to use them as Freshmen owls last year. But he also likes mischief? so idk, how they feel about him is prolly largely defined by how he interacts with them on the journals, tho tbh in the whole Diego cheating on Tabitha thing, Chris did strongly take An's side in the matter (and probably vocally because he doesn't believe Homewreckers exist, it's an outdated sexist term)) because he wasn't friends with Diego or Tabitha at the time.

And Teo is just fucking Teo, man. He prolly just tells them apart based entirely on aura or some shit.

[bambae]

PS: Kas's way of differentiating between them is totally how I kept their names straight through all that

[longcons]

i joined the comms BACK TO THE RHYTHMIC CHANTING

twins twins twins twins TWINS

[longcons]

ok anyway IMMA POST AN INTRO FOR HIM but in the mean time

ok so this dweeb here! he's in your cabin, garrett! he may have some personality clash with you! he's a super independent, judgemental, over-achiever with, shall we say flexible morals about getting ahead. idk which he would be less impressed with: garrett's struggles in school, or his newfound disinterest in swapping places with his bro (if he ever knew about it). GAVIN'S RIGHT YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO TO GET AHEAD

[longcons]

ALSO ALSO; if cricket knows 'em, ulysses knows 'em. gavin, as a JUNIOR ebonhide, i hope you accept that he's older and wiser than you and ought to be respe— hahahaha just kidding

[quinning]

i was so excited to spam your intro i forgot to .... respond........

KURT! he's tight with tabitha! his dad works with their dad! he's in OE! he thinks they're really nice!!!!!

CASEY! he's in garrett's house! we know what he's like! he's in duelling & fencing! maybe he clashes with garret sometimes re: CONTROL, idk!

QUINN! prefects with garret! has prefected at gavin!

[gavogletree]

Spamming is probably more fun?

KURT! I think it's safe to say that the twins like Kurt! They might be a bit much for him at times (given that he likes 'quiet companionship'), but I think there's enough connection and commonality there to say they're on good terms!

CASEY! I'm still pondering what we discussed before because I'm horrible. BUT. Apart from that, is Casey more into the dueling part or the fencing part? The twins usually stick to fencing, so that'll impact the amount of overlap. The twins (Gavin in particular) don't like losing, so Casey may get to see a good amount of twin pout face if he stomps them in fencing on a regular basis.

QUINN! Gavin says that you hang out with people that do way worse stuff than him; go prefect Chris! :(((

[garogletree]

ONE THING I FORGOT TO ASK KATIE FOR:
Garrett needs some close-ish prefect friends! Because this is one of the only chances he has to make friends away from Gavin!! However, if you 1) ever say anything negative about Gavin, even if it's relatively mild, or 2) ever question the totally codependent relationship that Gavin and Garrett have, Garrett will probably not be your friend :(

[professionalcorpse]

Come join Bash and Gabi in their corner of Sophomore Prefect Land!

There are cookies. (Maybe.)

[ninjaleo]

Hiiiii!!
Omg twins and they're awesome.Again, my sophomore garbagechild hold will probably have more to do with them when I finally transfer her from my head to paper BUT FOR NOW:

ADDY is also a former Thunderbird so yay!! They would know each other from that. She will find them both delightful and will now know Garrett through prefect things a little more!

FERDIE tends to shy away from Ogletrees, just because of his moms MACUSA drama.

Annnd LEO just thinks of them as the same person it's easier
I'm so sorry none of this is great plot sigh

[gavogletree]

Hiiii~ I'm so glad you like them and I'm so looking forward to your sophomore garbage child baby! As to the current crew...

Gavin loves Addy! She's nice, she's fun, she's just enough of a troublemaker to be more fun, and she's a fellow Thunderbird! Go team! So, yes, I think that's a mutual like for him~

Awww Ferdie. I can't blame him! And the twins are probably pretty easy for him to avoid.

Ahaha! Leo. This pleases Gavin~

And don't worry! Sometimes there's not a ton of obvious overlap. But we'll see what we can find as we play~ Also, Addy IS great. Don't be ridiculous. ♥

[professionalcorpse]

Bash is officially jealous. And disappointed. In his personal twin. (What the fuck, Ariel. They are missing out here. Disgrace. Complete and utter disgrace. Strongly worded letter of complaint will be making its way home shortly. Get yourself some magic-proficiency, woman. They're losing Twin Bingo and it is awful.)

Also, he and Gavin are cabin mates. While he and Garrett are co-prefects. So he sure as shit knows the both of them. (And probably likes both of them. Just stating for the record that his knowing is a positively-tinged knowing.) Very probably well enough that he can tell the two of them apart. Though he is a shit who probably tells Gavin that his brother is prettier than him on the regular. Is it actually true? WHO KNOWS. He certainly isn't letting anyone know.

Frankie has some classes with them. And also is a marshmallow who likes everybody. Keep up the good work, small people.

Roxie's in Coppertale with Garrett. idk what details, but who knows. She would, however, find them switching places pretty darn funny.

[garogletree]

HI SORRY ♥

Sorry Bash~ You just can't compete with these two winners (even though they probably wish you could, because competition).

Bash has seen a lot of Garrett and even sees a lot more of him now thanks to prefecting! Given that Garrett knows him pretty well already, he probably hangs around him at prefect things. He feels a bit weird being separate from Gavin :( but he won't say that to Bash. He will occasionally want Gavin to come stay in Coppertale with him even though he's not supposed to - will you be a lenient prefect for the best twins ever, Bash???

Frankie, you are too cute, come be a cutie near the twins.

Haha, oh Roxie, they can shenanigans a bit?? She also may occasionally see Gavin skulking around Coppertale camp alone when Garrett is away being a prefect.

[sairaza.insanejournal.com]

Well Ree obvy absolutely adores them. They were all in Thunderbird together!!!

Isaiah is a musician and friendly with their sister so he actually knows them, which is odd for the younger kids. He'll. Uh. JAM.

Gabi loves everyone always and wishes she had a twin and just wants friends, basically.

Saira probably only knows them because Garrett is in her house? IDK. GIVE ME IDEAS.

[garogletree]

Ahhhhhhh Ree ♥ Yay knowing each other from Ilvermorny!! And clearly getting along because she's the best.

Hahaha, Isaiah should definitely jam with his friend's little brothers! They're pretty legit, it's not weird at all (probably).

Gabi! She prefects with Garrett at least so 1) Garrett probably likes her because she's nice and 2) Gavin probably at least has some huffiness towards her because she's a prefect, whoops.

I feel like Saira will just judge the crap out of them and Garrett will avoid her a bit because she's so serious?? He's a prefect don't give him that look!

[-sparrow.insanejournal.com]

Hi! So most relevant to your two...

Isabelle here was at Ilvermorny (Horned Serpent) with them until she had a mental breakdown that was very public and they likely witnessed. She then spent a year away, and came to Gooseberry at the start of Sophomore year. She is in Ebonhide with Gavin now. She's in Equestrian club, which does stuff with OE sometimes too, and they share Charms, Potions, Transfig, and Astronomy classes. She's not nearly as outgoing as the two but having been around them both for quite some time at this point, it's likely they are at the very least good acquaintances, though she probably is/was weird around them when she saw them at Gooseberry after she left Ilvermorny and transferred a year later. I'm very up for working out a friendship with these guys!

Avery is in OE with them, but she's a year older and in Ribbonfin. She does know Tabitha a bit and is friendly with her, so chances are she'll be really nice to the twins, too.

Penelope is in Coppertale with Garrett but we all know she's a wretch and unlikely to befriend either of them, despite liking Tabitha. She'll be nice, though, purely because of Tabs.

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

Oh you dorks. <3

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

Jo and Will are both in their year, Jo being an Ebonhide prefect. And Dom is another Coppertale prefect!
