Diego: Klaus, are you high?
Klaus: Am I what?
Diego: High?
Klaus: Hello!
go follow this idiot boy
The whole family teamed up to get me a phone. I’m still trying to figure out how to use this thing, so send me questions I guess.
((ask box open! we like to have fun here))
Literally everyone else in Umbrella Academy: You can’t just force Vanya to relive her childhood trauma by sticking her in a cage.
Luther: Guys, it’s okay. Dad sent me to the moon.
don’t touch me i sad
I’ve missed you all... so much
So I started The Umbrella Academy (I'm at s1 ep6) and here my observations:
-I absolutely hate this incestuous romance between Allison and Luther. I think it's weird and gross and I feel very uncomfortable every time I see their romantic scenes.
-I had a bad feeling for Leonard since his first apparence and I hate being right like this.
-Five is a broken homicidal little bitch and I love him.
-Klaus my beloved junkie.
-Vanya has the charisma of a stick bug and I will protect her with my life.
-They're all fucked but I love them so much.
-Grace freaking me out but I don't think she is bad.
-If the old man wasn't already dead I would kill him myself and with a marvelous joy.
-Please give me more Ben's screen time 😭 and also how the fuck did he dies? I want to know!
-Luther's obsession with being N°1 is not healthy ~
-POGO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HIDE???
-I would love to see more flashback of their childhood.
-Hazel and Cha-Cha relationship OMG my heart!
-I think Ben have a very strong presence as a ghost because he is often around Klaus even when he is not so sober, and being high is supposed to keep the ghost away.
So I just finished the first season of The Umbrella Academy, here my thoughts :) :
-Five x Dolores and Hazel x Agnès are the best relationships of this show and I take no criticisms.
-Still hating Luther x Allison, I was happy the last episodes didn't have the time to focus on their "romance" because of the apocalypse, the apocalypse is much more enjoyable to watch :)
-The lack of respect and recognition Vanya and Klaus get physically hurt me. At least Vanya gets to explore a little bit her relationship with Allison but Klaus is been constantly step on and ignored, it really hurt me :( especially when he is doing so much efforts for fight against his addiction and the other still considering he is just high and with nothing important to say.
-Vanya becomes emo and my brain goes brrrrrrr.
-I wasn't a fan of Luther character since the beginning but I was doing efforts because he is fucked up like the other. But I seriously hate is attitude, he always tries to control everything, makes bad decisions and, in particular the thing I hate the most, he always uses his superior force to get and do what he wants. It's awful. Even if he thinks he does the best for his family I think he is just kind of abusive. He doesn't take criticisms or let them choices and physically holds them back to go against his own will. The worst exemple is when he locks up Vanya in the cell and let her imprisoned even when the majority (Diego, Allison and Klaus) isn't OK with that and stopped them to free her multiple times until they have to give up. I truly hope his behavior will change in season 2 because for now I seriously consider he is one of the most important cause of Vanya's snap.
-I wasn't sad when Pogo die, sorry not sorry :)
-Is this motherfucker of Reggie is an alien?? I didn't understand his flashbacks.
-Ben's screen time YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH. I love Ben. When I first saw him I though he will be a kind of Jiminy Cricket for Klaus, and sometimes he is, but most of the time he just has the same chaotic energy 😂😂😂. The scene when Klaus thrown a bowling ball at him and he didn't catch it I swear his Pikachu chocked face was so funny. Now that the other FINALLY believe Klaus I hope to see him even more in season 2.
-Personal preference but I miss the old "faint of exhaustion" trope in this series. It's just on of my favorite and it usually work well with superpowers intrigues. It's maybe kinda bullshit to see Vanya, Klaus or Five doing insane things they never do before and just be like "I'm fine, what a piece of cake :)".
-I liked Patch, sad that she died.
-I hope more parallelisms between Five and the Comission's bitch, I think they can be a good illustration of "same beginning but different paths" .
-Good to see you dead Leonard/Harold, I will not miss you :)
-I still don't know how Ben died and I want answers!
I feel like Vanya is the person to apologise to a mannequin if she bumps into it.
On the other end of the scale, Klaus is the person who strokes the clothing on a mannequin before realising it is a real person.
my headcanons for the hargreeves siblings:
luther- straight, also never bothered trying anything else bc thE MOON
diego- bi boi, he just likes b a d a s s e s
allison- straight but girls are super pretty and she’d try it out if the right one showed up
klaus- ultimate pan, also open to a poly relationship bc he rlly likes comfort cuddles
five- he’s ace, bc after all those years alone he just can’t deal with people and hasn’t ever been interested
ben- gay but he died too early to ever have fun
vanya- biromanic but in all honesty, pretty people scare her and she’d rather not
Question!
So I don’t know if any of the Hargreeves siblings ever changed their legal names from “Number ______” to their more “normal” names. Like I’m pretty sure that Allison, Vanya and Diego would definitely have changed theirs, Allison because she is an Actress, Vanya because she seems like the responsible one, and Diego because he wanted to be a police at one point so it kind of makes sense, right? Five and Ben were long gone by the time they would have been able to change their names, Klaus would be too high to care and Luther never left the Academy and when he did, he was on the moon.
Though my question is not about that. I was thinking about Five and how he never really wanted a “normal” name. So legally, the seven children were all “Number ______” when they were adopted, so that means that Five is legally “Number Five Hargreeves” does that mean that “Number” is his first name and “Five” his middle name?
It just makes me think (and laugh) that for 17/18 years, there was a huge house with: one chimpanzee, one robot, one alien and seven children named “Number”.
THISTHISTHISTHIS-
TUA fic idea where a few years before Apocalypse Week, Vanya's meds either stop working and she doesn't realize her prescription needs to get stronger, or she stops taking them. But it happens gradually, unlike the cold-turkey disaster in canon, and she doesn't really notice much of a difference at first, except then she starts to realize that things in the room will shake when she gets angry or whatever, and one time someone knocks on her door and she jumps a foot in the air at the same time that three glass cups and an ugly porcelain vase shatter without being touched. So what does she do? Well, she obviously can't have powers, she's just ordinary number Seven, so it has to be someone or something else, and growing up with who she did, she can only think of one thing: she's being haunted.
So here comes Vanya, terrified and confused and firmly in unconscious Rumor-supported denial, with no other ideas, tracking down Klaus from wherever he's staying. Now the problem with asking Klaus for help isn't necessarily that he doesn't believe her, but more that he's nowhere near sober enough to even tell whether she's being haunted or not, let alone do anything about this hypothetical haunting. He tries to tell her no, but Ben (who at least in this is more heavily linked to Klaus and so he can't see other ghosts unless Klaus can, so he can't tell if Vanya's being haunted either but he wants to spend more time with her anyway) manages to talk him into saying yes, at least temporarily, and Klaus grudgingly agrees when Vanya offers to let him detox on her couch for as long as it takes. So they spend about a week awkwardly working around each other with Klaus attempting to sober up, and once he's several days sober and has confirmed he can see other ghosts again, he starts digging into the apartment. And there's nothing. No ghosts except for Ben, who's getting increasingly concerned about the implications here, and definitely no hauntings. Except when he tells Vanya this, she gets extremely frustrated (halfway on purpose to "try and lure the ghost out") and shouts something and every single vase and light in the room shatters. And when Vanya triumphantly points up at the broken lightbulbs in the ceiling and goes see?? Klaus just gapes at her and very slowly goes uh, Vanya, sis, unless I'm a lot higher than I thought, I'm pretty sure that wasn't a ghost--that was you. And Vanya denies it but the more hysterical she gets, the more the room shakes, and before long she's forced to realize that he's right, it's her doing it, because she has powers now.
Which, in the long run, results in this. Vanya forgets entirely about her pills in the chaos of "developing new powers" and starts working on training them and controlling them. Klaus grudgingly stays sober to try and help his sister because he realizes she's closer to going off the deep end than him (and that's my title alone to claim, he'll announce if asked, leaving unvoiced the actual worry for the one sibling that had never given him shit about his "lack of control" of his powers) and if he doesn't stay sober she might completely lose it and that would be very very bad. Ben eventually gets involved in the unexpected Unconventional Sibling Bonding when sober!Klaus accidentally manifests him for the first time, which leads to more breakdowns and explanations and apologies, and eventually a joint training attempt when Klaus realizes there's a lot more he can do than anyone else realized.
(Also all three of them are convinced that Vanya didn't have powers as a kid, only developed them as an adult, because that seems more likely than everyone just up and forgetting Vanya could do any of this stuff, right? And they don't tell anyone else, partly because they don't want to freak people out and partly because this is their secret, their thing to share, and they don't want to end up dragged back to the dismal Academy like everyone else will undoubtedly suggest.)
The point is, by the time Reginald Hargreeves is announced dead, we have a sober and snarky and alarmingly powerful (but still human disaster) Klaus, and a suppressant-free and snarky and also alarmingly powerful (but still disaster lesbian) Vanya. Also the Original Snark Master™️, Ben, who's sick and tired of watching his favorite two siblings take shit from their other siblings about their powers and/or status and/or life choices, and who plans to make the other three idiots regret everything.
In the end, three fairly well-adjusted siblings are the one thing that Reginald Hargreeves did not anticipate. And neither, as it turns out, did a certain group of time-traveling Apocalypse-supporting assassins.
And that's how Vanya, Klaus, and Ben end up saving the world.
If you hate Luther and brush off his trauma you're not just wrong, you're an idiot
