Am I having a stroke or do these guys look fucking identical?  Help me out here.

Haha, I see it!

Wendy.  Detroit atheist, chronic ^^; sayer, overthinking everything all the time.  You can read my Homestuck fanfiction if you want!

Omg triplets!

...these are just two blond guys with pointy chins.  Aren't the Pendragons from Ireland, anyway?  Sounds like conspiracy theorizing.

I think handleitmyself was joking, Grim ^^;

They're from Wales but yeah, come on, it's a coincidence. People look alike sometimes!

They're blond espers, honestly I think most espers look sort of alike.

Damn, anti-esper racism.

...who's that second guy? :o

That's Peregrine, he's a teleporter.

He's been my friend for many a dangerous journey

He's not like a teleporter teleporter though, right, he's like... an anime flash-step teleporter?  I think hes based out of the US east coast but I could be wrong ^^;

at this point i would not be remotely surprised if there turned out to be a secret third morganrath twin who was also an esper.  something going on with that family i s2g... statistically incomprehensible

:p

It's not that crazy for two siblings to be espers, is it? I mean obviously it usually doesn't happen, but... Plus, their mom is an esper and that makes you more likely to have Esper kids, right?

Listen I got nothing against them, I just cannot tell half of them apart. Props to those who can.

there's still less than a 1% chance for the child of an esper to awaken as an esper, conservative estimates put it at .1% chance.  the odds that any two children of the same esper would both awaken are .1%*.1% = literally and not figuratively a one in a million chance.  there are barely a tenth that many espers in the world and many of them don't have kids at all.  statistically incomprehensible.

(A bit more than "barely a tenth," but in the broad strokes he's not wrong.)

...but if there's a 1 in a million chance that it'd happen to one esper family and there's 100k esper families in the world doesn't that mean it's only a 1 in 10 chance that it'd happen once?  Or do I not understand probability ^^;

Wendy.  Detroit atheist, chronic ^^; sayer, overthinking everything all the time.  You can read my Homestuck fanfiction if you want!

Huh. Yeah, okay, that's pretty incomprehensible. 

And we're thinking there might be three of them? Or is this more of a multiple identities sitch.

There are, very roughly, 160,000 individual espers in the world.  Certainly there are fewer esper families than 100,000.  But Wendy is (we might say) directionally correct: for we laypeople to observe at least one esper with multiple esper children, it is not necessary that any one particular pair of siblings overcome their .001% chance, but only that, among all the esper parents in the world, at least one of them gives birth to two children who later go on to awaken - less likely than not, but not "statistically incomprehensible."

The world is actually basically okay.  Don't Panic!

euclid i am always amazed that you manage to sound smarmier and more pontifical even than me any time we talk :v but you know, point taken, mea culpa.

And we're thinking there might be three of them? Or is this more of a multiple identities sitch. 

...I just thought it was weird that they have the same face, breh.

You gotta admit that "rich esper's rich kid has bizarre and vaguely sketchy hobbies" has much better odds than "four esper family" 😉

Could be that someone cracked the trick for telling if a human's going to awaken in advance, and had a lab of test tube babies from a willing esper donor created. They only let the ones that would grow up to be espers live. The mom got to keep two, in exchange for letting the lab have the others, who are being experimented upon as we speak to crack the secrets for how to make all humans espers. Peregrine escaped and is now a vigilante esper on the loose, desperate to show the world the horrors he saw in that lab.

... Or, you know. The lighting's playing tricks on us. One of those.

I collect bugs as a hobby. If for some reason you want to hear fun bug facts, I've got loads!

Have Peregrine and Pendragon jr ever been seen in the same place at the same time?

I'm minty 💨

I think we're all missing the real big money item here.
