The Umbrella Academy 3 + Headlines (part 1)/(part 2)

audience member: what song would you replace running up that hill with?

joseph, smirking: do you guys know the venga boys?

The Five and Klaus interactions were amazing this season. It made me so happy. Klaus whining ‘no Five don’t leave’ Five responding ‘No Klaus, I’m leaving’, Five giving the karaoke mic to Klaus and choosing him for the duet, sitting at the bar and talking over each other about their recent, respective experiences. They were just always ready to talk and/or listen to each other. And the best example of that was that road trip, which was one of my favorite parts of the whole season.

I mean aside from ‘We’re gonna crash!’ ‘I don’t care! No twine no birth mother!’ which was fucking gold, the moment where they’re at the ball of twine and they just take a moment to talk was so touching. Five asks Klaus about his birth mother. He’s genuinely interested in what he has to say and his reasoning behind the trip. And by the end of the conversation, Klaus tells Five he’s glad he came along and he’s a good brother. And he is. It was so nice to see Five finally be appreciated, and by his soft expression, he felt good about it too.

This season seemed to have less fight scenes for the sake of exploring what family truly is, and it started with that scene of Five and Klaus. They talk over each other a bit, but together they end with ‘What’s the point?’. Because they understand. They’re on the same page.

Also…this trip is when we see Five genuinely smile for the first time in a bit, so I just loved it so much. Klaus going ‘Love you too little dancer!’ also deserves an honorable mention. That whole scene just. Had me in my fucking feels.

this was literally my live slug reaction of watching the milkvan monologue

tag yourself: the cast of stranger things reacts to the mileven 'i love you' scene

i need a scene in s5 where mike is in imminent danger and he grabs an object to launch at whatever's chasing him and just spectacularly misses by like a mile. a direct callback to his terrible throwing skills in s1 i think
