And I know this isn't the first "divorcing parents split up twins" story I've read--is it just a story trope or another cultural weirdness thing?
I think it's neither, really. I think twin love is one of the more fascinating philosophically introspective topics in romance, and within the GL or BL realm in particular it takes on a nuance that is sorta a "double negative", given the core logical argument against incest is often the real problem and consequences of inbreeding..which sorta takes on a significant amount of water with homosexual love, whose own """wrongness""" comes from not furthering the bloodline or whatever bullshit.
And sometimes it's just people who really love incest in their fiction and honestly all the power to 'em lmao.
...that's not what they were talking about at all? They were asking if it's normal for divorcing parents to each take custody of one twin. Which, I'm pretty sure it isn't.
