If Lauren and Andy had slightly more comic-like clothes (i.e: Lorna), how would you make them?
well I wouldn’t want to make it too corny with like a thunderbolt on their clothes or anything. I like that Gifted does a good job of steering clear of the typical superhero costumes.
I feel like if they started to operate more publicly, they could wear those cute yellow and black masks to conceal their identity
But at the same time, Fenris are Fashion Icons tbh so I’d have their costumes designed to be more complementary, in sync, and stylish
put lauren back in crop tops 2k19 you cowards. as for Andy, his style is pretty nice but can be tweeked a little to look more like this:
I don’t necessarily need them in all black but definitely complimentary.
Saddest headcanon/idea for Andy and the same for Lauren? And one for them, together?
Andy: As of right now, I think the saddest thing for him would be to find out he’s being used. I love Reeva, but she is using him, and everyone else that works for her. Andy might be a badass mutant, but he’s also a teenage boy and like most teenagers, he wants to be accepted. He’s not getting that from his family so the next best thing is the Inner Circle.
Lauren: The saddest thing for her would probably be losing her powers (which basically just happened, thanks Fox). Let’s not forget that she’s been aware of her abilities longer than Andy has, and she’s been steadily working to get stronger. She feels more powerful with them than without them (I mean, who wouldn’t?), so I’m interested to see what happens when she can’t use them.
I think the saddest idea for both of them is that one of them ends up accidentally killing the other. I know the writers wouldn’t do that (they just like to tease us with Andy/Lauren fights), but can you imagine the devastation? The psychological damage that would do to them?? If they’re as connected as we’re all being led to believe, I don’t think either of them would be able to handle that kind of trauma.
Thanks for the ask! I’m gonna go cry because Fox is doing my fave characters dirty.
Andy: Remember when we were little and you dared me to lick the swing set?
Lauren: I told you not to but you said don’t tell me what to do and did it anyway. Then when mom caught you I lied and said i dared you to. That’s what I remember

Your girl seems to have disappeared. Looks like you two are out of tricks. Almost. We got one more.
Lauren: What do you physically look for in a girl, Andy?
Andy: Well, she has to have long, blonde hair, bright blue eyes, a nice figure and a winning smile.
Lauren:…
Lauren: You do realize you just described Mom, right?
Andy: I did no-OH MY WORD!
Lauren: I’m not going to sacrifice my morals for our ancestors’ legacy.
Andy: I did that and it’s not so bad!
Lauren: Andy, What did you do?!
Andy: Okay… but you can’t get mad at me.
Lauren: What. Did. You. Do?
Andy: Well, first off, I was just minding my own busines-
Lauren: Bullcrap!
Andy: I waaaasss!
I’ve been meaning to write this for a while so here we go.
Since comic book era, original Fenris, Andreas and Andrea ‘too sexy for my shirt’ von Strucker were twins. Strictly canon speaking, Andreas is their grandfather and the Fenris was passed down to them through him.
But why not make the grandkids twins too? It would have been easy enough to find similar looking actors for Lauren and Andy. So why?
Twins are symbolically, metaphorically, romantically (not literal romance, but Romanticism e.g. Byronic) two halves of one whole. They shared the womb, there’s nothing closer than that. Even in reality, twins are often extremely close and sometimes excessively dependent on each other.
But Lauren is Andy’s older sister. It established significant time and space between them. They were relatively close, judging by the few pre-mutant power development scenes, but nowhere near the closeness of twins. They led very different lives and clearly didn’t interact much in school. Lauren literally let him get dragged away by his bullies during the dance. Yeah, blame social pressure or whatever but she did. Had they had that deep connection of twindom, she would have felt for him and would have stormed after them immediately.
Think about what they said after they held hands that day in the park and later on. ‘I couldn’t stop thinking about it’. ‘All I want to do is try that again’. All of this built and accumulated to the point of dream sharing and inter-empathetic connection. The writers are basically screaming about how connected these two are. Over and over again, we hear Andy missing Lauren and only Lauren. The only reason we don’t see Lauren losing her shit over him too is because she felt guilty after she murdered people with the Fenris gift.
But their deep, unbreakable connection isn’t based on their sibling relationship. It’s based on their mutant one. And this mutant relationship affected them body and soul, leading them to say things like ‘We belong together’.
tldr; making them twins would have been too easy and the audience needed to see them as separate people instead of ‘the twins’
Lauren: Humans can learn to accept us; we can teach them.
Andy: There’s no need to teach them if we kill them first.

Andy: I do what I want.
Lorna: I’m telling Lauren.
Andy: No, wait!!!

The twin children of Baron von Strucker were the first subjects of the experimental process that later gave powers to the Maximoff twins. They can both fly and shoot energy beams - but only when they’re in contact with each other. Strucker thought of them as failed experiments, but Baron Zemo saw further potential in the twins and took them under his wing. Of all of the inner circle, their loyalty is the most fragile. They’re more interested in looking out for themselves and each other than they are in HYDRA’s dreams of world domination.
Andreas and Andrea von Strucker. Twins. Fenris.
I love to hate them.
