#andy strucker x oc

[psychic-refugee]

Dr. Campell and Trask Industries were always on the hunt for mutants with powerful abilities. Their number one priority was the Strucker Siblings. He was convinced they were the key to the next step in his research, and would turn the tide of the war between mutants and humans.

Their second priority was Gemma, the girl who could go anywhere with just a thought.

The Mutant Underground saves her after Sentinel Services ramps up their hunt for mutants, with orders to capture at any cost, setting Gemma and Andy on route to their destiny.

question

so hi, a week or two ago i made a post about the percy situation and i mentioned a book i have planned and i wanted to see if any of ya’ll would be interested in reading it if i put it out, and just for fun heres another little idea for another book idea i had for another one of his characters

(not giving away to many plot points if you are interested in reading them)

Xavier thorpe x oc {enemies to lovers} xavier and oc used to be best friends until they got into a disagreement that ruined everything. a few years later, oc is living their best life until a strange series events causes them to transfer to nevermore academy, essentially ruining their life, except what if it changes for the better?

andy strucker x Y/N (or oc haven’t decided !) 

Y/N and andy grew up in the same neighborhood for a while they weren’t friends but they were civil up until late middle school where they started hanging out a bit more. (Y/Ns a mutant as well) one day they just happened to be at the same place, wrong time. causing them to get roped into the strucker siblings mess

KP finally finishes Gifted s2

gave up on this back when FOX was stupid and Marvel had me jaded (still does but meh). so here’s the final 3 episodes and my incoherent babble about them i guess, after not watcing the show or nearly a year and only having my previous babble session as a refresher about what’s going on

Episode 14:

 for once the “previously on dbz” segment is needed since,. yeah been almost a year since i’ve watched this...whoops

heeeey opening flashback! i forgot the format of this show...-.- oh hey not-Graydon...you know his comment about “freaks to teleport me through traffic” would’ve been funnier if he was Graydon, since Kurt is technically his sibling...as is Clarice... just saying.

oh right, Lauren was dosed with serum. well, at least it’s working right, really screwing her up. but again, Mom is the only rational and logical one.

how are sewers large enough for a tent metropolis? but oh hey, she knows about past Morlocks hm??? maybe cause some Mauraders action...hm??? or something they previously established with the Brotherhood or not-Bishop explained that i can’t remember, whatever. i’m just happy to see Blink. and the Morlocks have a network to places...like Pittsburgh? i thought they just live din NYC...ok in this story it’s just DC because that’s where we’re set ok, but still...

wait not-Graydon is making Sentinel Guy do the Mauraders plotline?? ooo...

is the Hellfire building CGI? that..looked badly shaded...and Lorna’s hair still looks stupid...though Andy’s hair does too...why do the bad guys have bad fashion sense?

i hadn’t forgotten how Mary Sue the Struckers were though...uhg...but hey don’t sweat it Mom, if Moira McTaggert’ taught us anything, you’re never the only non-mutant in the pro-mutant side; turns out you’l end up being one all along eventually.

oh good back to Blink. please don’t flirt with not-Bishop though. just...go fight Purifiers, since that was backstory for you, ok, that’s way better than flirting. wait Gabby? uh...when’d Blink get blue in her hair?

wait Cop Man, were they dead when you found them, or did you...overall though, i am really liking the atmosphere of the Purifer’s tunnel raid. the mood and tension are great, and the cinematography is doing a good job at keeping it. it’s a shame the editor feels the need to cut back to sunny Hellfire tower to break the atmosphere...but hey

oh don’t get cocky Morlock guys...and grenade, yup cocky. but again, the lighting and mood of everything in the tunnels is really good. the power effects not so much...but tv budget. and i had actually forgotten not-Bishop had a lazer eye O.o

dang Mom you are still best OC here

nooooo you shot Blink!!! baby girl nooooooo. idc about Sentinel Guy’s burst of conscious at “wait there are mutant children?” you shot best girl Blink. boo on you

Episode 15:

flashback time yay -.- but Blink! won’t make me forget you shot her since the recap ended on that...but hey tell me more about her past please, i really want to know why she doesn’t think she’s best girl. just saying “i was with the brotherhood and i didn’t like it” doesn’t cut it...and John no, you’re not allowed to give out redemption to everyone unless they are convenient to your aesthetic or philosophical interpretation, that’s why Krakoa preaches

John you don’t have time to fight not-Bishop out of grief ok. you were a ranger, you should realize that.

wait, so Reeva’s the one to blame for the council of stupid on Krakoa? that...actually makes sense, since she’s done tones of hypocritical last minute rule changing plans. weird.

really, my joke about Sentinel Guy’s heel turn was right? he honesty never realized that there were mutant children? i...wow

hey Lorna’s tiara. it makes her hair slightly less stupid looking. makes her outfit a tad stupid though...she should have more of that green popping somewhere, like her knives or a wrist band, or something.

really John just stayed there punching a wall and no cops found him? bad writing.

oooo is Dad gonna fry Cop Man?? sorry, disintegrate, i forgot what he did. and holy crap he did-sweet!

there are a lot of dutch angles in this episode...

oh Lauren don’t turn on your Mom, c’mon! why is no one thinking realistically?

hehe Cuckoos and fashion joke...although why did they get a pop of color elsewhere...or were the boots white just to point out the dirt

“do you think we can mind control our way to a mutant homeland” hm...should i just put in a cut off now for shots at Krakoa?

Mom you’re the only one with a brain! don’t sacrifice yourself because “i has no powers”

gasp! Sentinel Guy *SEES* a mutant child, now he knows for reals they exist. i’m sorry but this heel turn for him is stupid. i get the “i never saw them as *people* and now i do” but the way it’s framed is, as i’ve said “wait there are mutant CHILDREN?? O.o” and that is just bad writing

i swear, if Lorna trying to save Andy gets her killed, i will hate the Wonder Twins even more forever. but at least i agree with his “well her plan sounds stupid” when he learns the truth. they could’ve colored Lorna’s zippers the metallic green, that would’ve tied her costume together...sorry distracted

Lauren’s shield looks like bubble wrap...and she’s super pouty wth?

ok the Dad-Andy monster talk was really good...ruined by Lauren’s stupid face inserts sure, but the talk was really good.

hey back to not-Graydon and Sentinel Man. ah yes, i knew killing Cop Man would just switch Sentinel Man back in the end, that is also why his little epiphany was so annoying, because ultimately it was pointless.

aw man sappy music when the OC Family gets back together...yeah ok, but still i’ll groan a bit because uhg. but ooo Lorna comes back to Marcos too ok now it’s less groany (but still overly cheesey and neon annoying). do kinda like John on the roof...too bad the over the top music drones it out a bit.

Episode 16:

the finale! i don’t...know what to expect going into this, other than Blink pops in at the end and might be Exiles Blink?

hey the last time shows the reunion scene would’ve worked well without the over the top music. huh

oh the flashback is the 7/15 event. heh Hawks News, instead of Fox, heh. but otherwise...meh, mandatory flashback

so their plan is, use the Uber Mary Sue Wonder Twins to destroy a skyscraper. i...sure, what else can we expect from the Strucker Show (maybe Dad will sacrifice himself and do it all on his own, that’d be a neat-yet obvious-twist)

you can tell John’s depressed cause his hair isn’t floofy anymore ^^;;;

again, Mom’s the only one with thinking ahead skills.

oh, we’re getting spliced in flashbacks...yeah Dad’s gonna die.

Cuckoos! srry, still one of the best parts of any episode. and our dear Esme is starting to turn...

oh John’s going Warpath on us with his face paint (yes he’s Thunderbird, i know). the John vs Sentinel Guy thing might be a bit much, but this is an awesome fight for John...even if he is being a fool and self sacrificial.

at least it was a commercial break that broke the energy of the fight scene, and not just a scene change. also, more flashback, i’m even more convinced Dad is gonna die.

did they dye Andy’s hair so he and Lauren would look more twinny? that’s stupid...and a point i probably already made...

hm...since Bishop is from the future, are they implying that Erg is his ancestor? (though that fails to track with the timeline of DoFP IF this is the same continuity of course)

ooooooo John said it, he is Thunderbird...and i think his face paint changed between shots because that white line wasn’t there by the dumpster scene...whoops

oh don’t tell me the power of friendship is going to save the day. oh good, no, just the standby of “kill the evil cuckoos”

well the Wonder Twins are down for the count, so even more thinking Dad’s gonna die to blow up the Hellfire building...wait...you can’t control your powers when Reeva sonic screams? well Dad has no control-PERFECT!

wow there are a lot of power fights here. no wonder the affects in other episodes sucked, they spent the budget on the finale lol

hey Dad has the same plan i did. again, the writing telegraphed that was the ending...but still, i give Dad credit, he has grown as a character. the flashback doesn’t help though it just spells it out “this is best OC love him he is best ever” which...yeah, this show does that with the Struckers, we’ve covered that a millions times by now

i wonder if Dad touched himself would be disintegrate? also, shouldn’t his kids be safe, since same strain of X-gene are supposed to be immune...or does that only apply to certain power types?

not to play it down, but yup, dad exploded. if it wasn’t so thrown at you that that was how it’d end from, the start, then this moment might’ve had more impact...also the moment itself was kinda “you knew this was coming, there it’s done”

hey Esme’s on their team now, neat! i thought she’d be independent.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Blink’s back! but she had a collar on her coat that was reminiscent of her AoA costume, and she opened a portal to a place with burning fire...kinda like the DoFP setting/AoA, and she never addressed anyone by name, just a general “come with me”....so yeah, that was totally Exiles Blink, and not the Blink of this story. that’s really kinda awesome.

too bad we won’t be following up on that since there’s no plans for season 3. but...it was an ok way to end i guess. it closed off the story for our main people, and we all know that it’ll never end with a “and they all lived happily ever after in peace and harmony” because it’s Xmen. it opens the door for other stories to happen in the same setting...and leaves the big hole about Blink at the end, but yeah...

but now it’ll never be followed up probably because disney/marvel thinks the Xmen are the Inhumans now *shrugs* whatever, i finally finished The Gifted, i can check that off my To-Watch List

[wrenxart]

Im finally getting around to writing that gay Andy x OC fanfic but im kinda stumped on how they meet? I would have them meet at the HellFire Club but we haven't seen that yet so ???? Im thinking maybe an AU where the Strucker parents weren't as accepting and they go on the run where they meet up with my OC? Idk i need input lol

With a drunk mother, an ignorant stepbrother and mutant powers, Ivee Reeves felt pretty much alone in a world where mutants are hated and hunted.

That is until she saved her best friend from falling out of a tree.

Andy Strucker is a bit of a loner. He gets bullied just for being. He felt pretty much alone in the world.

That is until he tore apart the school gym.

Now Andy, Ivee and his family are on the run from Sentinel Services and are in hiding with the Mutant Underground. • • • • • [Originally on Wattpad] Andy Strucker X Female OC I own Ivee and her story arc. Started: 30/09/18 Finished: 18/10/18 The Gifted

The Gifted s2 ep1

that’s right folks. the wonder twins power hour is back for season 2! will i complain about our *super special main characters* more? will the writers realize we want the comic chars more than their OCs? will Blink ever get to meet up with her dad Sabretooth? will i remember people’s names instead of calling them “diet/knock off-comic character name”? how many more thin references can they make...or will we get firmer references? lets sit back and see shall we?

the Von Struckers built the Hellfire Club huh? well....seems we’re already on the “my OCs are the bestest ever and totally important to everything guys” train and barely 2 min in

also Reva is Black Canary? ok who are you....

also also why are the Cuckoos using guns???

6 month time skip so Lorna can be preggie. yay! and why are you blonde wonder boy you look stupid. but i give you, the heart warming moment with the two of them was nice to show they aren’t both crazy....well super crazy

but holy cow Sentinel Services....your raidings...wow....you got that over zealous in 6 months? i’m not knocking it, that’s genuinely terrifying and i know parallels real life stuff. it’s just...wow. this whole sequence is really good, and the saturated picture helps some too...i hope we get some color back later though

why isn’t Blink in green? or wearing anything that’s green? would it have been hard to give her something green at all? or is she not allowed green cause that’s Lorna’s color?

oh are we in DC now? location establishing captions would be nice in addition to the time ones...just saying

ok not entirely sure her powers would flare *that* much....but nice that they’re pointing out that the pregnancy is messing with her powers. and that they have the foresight to find a metal-less place for her to give birth in.

when did Dad get to be a master forger? and when did you become team leader?

Lorna’s hair is a lot greener...nice

man i still love the Cuckoos. they just ooze personality and control every scene they’re in

aw Clair you’re so good with the younger childrens...you need your siblings. and you are actually really cute when you’re flirty. John though....no, you’re still pretty and i guess Weapon X didn’t make me dislike you as much as i thought it did (though the book is actually Jimmy....)

oh noes is Dad developing powers? or a brain tumor?

and oh look the wonder twins just cannot stay away from each other....oh wait this is a dream sequence isn’t it? but then why does she know what he looks like....eh that’s a minor plot hole i can live with because the writer/s weren’t stupid enough to let them still hook up despite being on separate sides and lying to the parents. oh good, at least she realizes he didn’t look right....are the wonder twins psychic now? uhg, can you guys get more mary-sued? i usually don’t complain about mary-sues, but when it’s official content you kinda are allowed to...

that cage work looks like metal and not plastic or acrylic...also who’s that doctor?

Blink with contacts??? that’d be more impressive if she had whited out eyes...or if cosmetically colored contacts weren’t common place...but neat detail that the lenses don’t let her see her portals. and just because...if she was properly pink the makeup over her triangles wouldn’t help much...

dang Mom you still remain my fav Strucker. surprised everyone seems to be going with you...oh wait no it’s just Marco ok

the Hellfire Club spun off from the Inner Circle? uh....i don’t think that’s right...

oh Blink’s now in purple, that’s closer to her color pallet i guess

oh lets check in on Dad; is he getting powers or dying? and survey says....bad CGI that might be powers

Andy and Lorna being pseudo siblings is cute, i will give that ok

and oh we’re having the baby now? i thought we’d get at least 3 episodes...huh...and her powers are flaring THAT much??? (good thing Magneto’s never the one knocked up in fanfics, it’s always Xavier lol) geeze she’s not Jean Grey here guys; she’s not giving first to the Phoenix...is she? oh geeze please don’t have that be the plot twist. a mental-no medical, dr no-name said so explicitly-block so she can’t dilate? i....would question that....but it’s kinda obvious that they’ll fix it with the Cuckoos

oh Marcos said “can’t you just blink us there” ha name drop Clair

so...does she know her baby’s a girl or did you guys just screw up your mental power point to convince her? i guess the “mental block” was more to control her powers rather than her dilation, so i can let that pass

music is still on point guys

Dahlia?

was that Bishop????? or....Will I Am’s character from Origins? cause he knew who Blink was seemingly??? so maybe he still knows Vic, and thus Blink...ok that’s grasping at straws, he’s probably from the Brotherhood....but i swear he kinda seemed like Bishop too. so what’s going on???

so....yes, new season is starting off pretty well. it’s less annoying wonder twins....so far....but give it time i’m sure -.- but hey, i’m excited!

[theinsanecrayonbox]

KP watches Gifted ep 09

lets see if this was worth a week’s wait...

right, thanks last time for reminding us that Grandpa Strucker inspired diet-Sinister into doing his project, that the Stepford Cuckoos exist in this universe, and holding hands will destroy the world

ok...so did Lauren trigger Andy’s powers then? or was that moment because of the “fight or flight” response, because they touch each other all the time and there ‘s now blowing up like Grandpa said...

Mom Strucker has a sister? huh, wonder if that will ever come up again

Great-Grandpa Strucker was a twin? and yes the X-gene is hereditary Mom, it’s just recessive most of the time.

is Esme another spy plant? that would be the best way to sneak one in...is by having them weed out another more obvious one...plus the Cuckoos were a semi-hivemind...Sonja might be onto something about her knowing too much...and the creepy eavesdropping doesn’t help

“Fenris. i think it means wolf in some language” uhg...and wow dropping the Hellfire Club, when we got a White Queen clone running around, neat! maybe the Cuckoos are actually Emma clones still then. though stating that the von Srucker twins were “the most powerful ever” is still fanficy...

Lorna dream time! nice freak out, nice use of powers subconsciously...sorta wish that there was some veiled Magneto symbology though, so it’d play into any abandonment issues she has and that she doesn’t want to leave her  friends (and baby) like he left her...oh but look Esme is lurking and probably caused the dream, or at least watched it so she can use it as torture fodder later...

i swear if Esme ends up evil...idk, i guess the show’s getting predictable then?

gasp! a mutant using their powers for *good*...oh wait he’s a Hound isn’t he, so doesn’t count

Lorna  you going as Sonja’s backup is a stupid plan. Sentinel guys know your face, Trask people probably know you by now too. i know you want to prove you’re still useful, but seriously? you’re not that stupid.

oh but i love how she starts to loose it when the guard uses the “homo superior” phrase; i’d like to think that’s a daddy issues trigger

the cuts between  the two stories is still jarring...i’d rather they just ply a few scenes of the one story together, instead of cutting between them so much. that’s what makes the Struckers annoying and seemed forced because their scenes come literally out of nowhere

but this does show their wondertwins powers are fight or flight more than just “any random touch goes ka-boom”...they’re still far too overpowered insert OCs though. and what would’ve happened if Andy hadn’t been born huh? would Lauren’s powers still work the same? they’re not twins, so why make their powers work together? it’s not like Grandpa had Andy’s powers, so you could say “oh well the girls in this family do this thing, while the boys in the family do the other thing”. their uber powers really rely on the fact that there are 2 of them; if Dad had had a siblings, would be have gotten wondertwin powers with them? if he’d had a sibling and they had 1 of the kids, while he had the other, would they have wondertwin powers despite being cousins instead of siblings? the twin fact works for the first incarnation of this, but once you get to the present generation, it doesn’t.

“oh we don’t have enough heavy hitters to do this op” oh boy, lemme guess, the wondertwins are going to volunteer as tribute and use their uber powers to blow up the power station so the other guys can get into the facility and Esme can betray them. if that’s how the episode ends, i quit

Andy stop being a whiny emo pants, Lauren stop inching towards the super villain side of the line, you both suck right now

Esme’s creeping on Lorna again...and she just says what i said right above; are you kidding me?? Esme you’re not supposed to read the audience's minds

oh, ok, it’s not the wondertwins uber power they want them to use...but seriously, you are going to, yet again, use the inexperienced children on your super dangerous secret mission...yeah i should just give up pointing out how bad of an idea that is. and if Esme is going to turn traitor, then she suggested it to get the Struckers to the facility because diet-Sinister wants them...so the Cuckoos might not be clones then, but he still likes sibling mutants, so he’d still use them if they’re sisters, and then that means they could be Emma’s relatives still to connect back to the Hellfire Club/White Queen

yup Esme is toying with Lorna...and Cuckoos being a hivemind/clones would work with that “they’re a part of me” line of hers

why is Sonja on this mission? what good are her powers in this situation? i know it’s because she has a name, but really. Clair’s snark is nice though

wow Sentinel man hears about 1 person having a sick day and assumes the plan out heroes are using. he’s a mutant! he can read the script! about the only way to draw all those conclusions honestly...

also musings during a commercial; i bet diet-Sinister wants Lorna to study her baby. because she is a second generation mutant, who’s partner is a mutant. studying the baby to see if it inherited the X-gene would be a thing he’d probably want. is that why Esme’s messing with her? or is it because she’s the most dangerous ting that could stop her from completing her mission? also since he’s not-Sinister, he’d of course want non-Havok’s kid, because reasons. but also, since Lorna got Erik’s powers, maybe he’d be banking that the baby would too; again, it’d be a good study to see how the X-gene is passed along, considering the share the same power, whereas other bloodlines either develop similarly themed powers or completely different mutations. oh but also; maybe Lorna doesn’t *know* she’s Erik’s daughter, but when diet-Sinister gets her he’ll be all “i thought you two were related and guess what, you are” because he wnats to prove mutations are herditary and not random, and then she gets a tiny identity crisis over that...see so much potential

that’s a lot of cleavage for a stealth op Sonja...but just enough snark Clair when wonderboy asks a stupid question ^^

oh that’s why Sonja’s here, because she looks normal and is an adult...and sure the mind screwing helps i guess...for this one instance

is now really the time to have a this talk Mom and Dad? no one’s watching the security feeds

uh yeah it totally could be a coincidence Sentinel guy; your partner makes very valid points. just because you read the script doesn’t absolve you for jumping the gun.

and the robot spider balls can learn to adapt, nice

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! not Blink!! you can’t hurt my baby girl again!!

ok Esme’s reaction seems genuine...maybe it wasn’t her plan to deliver the Struckers then...still might’ve been to deliver Lorna though

and the kids lost Sonja...great...and cue the wondertwins super power in 5...4...3...2...oh dang Andy when’d you grow a conscious?

holy cow next time, did you just imply that not-Sinister kills Sonja??? he was telling the kids to cooperate, they said no, he shot someone and Blink freaked at that, and we know they caught Sonja too...holy cow...

still room for Esme to be revealed as traitor, just saying...
