Does Not Illustrate: Single Minded Twins

The current image simply shows a pair of twins in clown mask. There is no indication at all that they are supposed to be single-minded. In fact, by their rather off-putting faces, it seemed to emphasize their creepiness more than their single-mindedness

They're identical looking, identically dressed, and (most importantly to me) have identical expressions. In other words, nothing about them even hints at the slightest bit of individuality.

It's a firm Keep Until Better Image Suggested, but I'm sure we can do much better.

There's Syndicate.

Sorry, couldn't resist the visual pun. I'll dig something more suitable up in a bit.

What @2 said. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

@2, my main problem with the current picture is that its overall tone is too similar to Creepy Twins - and having the twins just standing there does not really illustrate synchronization/single-mindedness.

EDIT: I think I found a somewhat suitable picture, but I'm not sure how to link the images here. Any help?

Just add the link between double square brackets: [[link (visible text for link, if you want)]]. Anything after the first space will be the text of the link, and if none you'll just get a number.

I agree. The current pictures for Single-Minded Twins and Creepy Twins are interchangeable. In "creepy" the caption is creepy, but it suggests the that they're saying the exact same thing. I don't think you can show creepy without being single minded, but single minded doesn't need to include being creepy.

Though it's usually specifically that single-mindedness that makes them creepy in a way different from two Creepy Children who just happen to be twins.

Three is good.

These are from Ouran High School Host Club of resident twins Hikaru and Kaoru.

Technically they try to invoke this trope rather than actually be it. Still, lots of minable images.

I'd say 3 is my favorite. They're dressed alike, but not the same (so they don't look like a mirror image), they're not creepy, and they look like they're scheming and have the exact same idea. Also they're doing... some action with their fingers, but the point is they're both doing it, not just standing there.

I like them because while they illustrate the trope visually, the characters themselves play with it about as much as possible. The trope is invokes, subverted, and played straight with them throughout the show.

Clock is set.

I'm thinking of something like this, though this particular one isn't particularly high in quality...

Most of these are a lateral move for me.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
