“ SORRY . “

“ I’ve been kind of busy dealing with the ramifications of being a new-found savior.   God, do you have any clue how hard it is to make a cult famous for something   other than untimely death? “

not dead; dealing with Life (GROSS!) regularly scheduled programming will resume soon

[klaus-is-the-real-number-1]

I honestly cannot even begin to explain how much the siblings actually messed up the 1960s man but im going to break it down maybe:

Allison will most likely earn a place in history books around the civil rights movement, first she started protests and then was linked to the assassination of JFK, she’ll definitely be in there (all of them most likely but I imagine allison the most)

Klaus started a cult using many famous song names, song lyrics and more which means some of the artists in the future will not actually use the phrases/songs/band names or will be confirmed to be members of his cult

he probably earned a really large following after his cult basically got advertised on TV, which would leave a lot of people looking into his cult and subsequently joining

and how much tax did he evade please i would like to know

they probably caused the biggest conspiracy theory ever:

-They appear to have not existed at all before the year 1960, there will be no record of any of them

-Probably the most unusual mix of people, a black rights activist, an escapee from an asylum, a cult leader, a russian spy, a boxer who works for a gang and a child that they are keeping ‘hostage’

-Their pictures would be aired all over television, newspapers, posters, everywhere and probably became the most well known faces in the world

- and then theyre gone, never seen again 

I think Elliot dying also would of caused a massive scene that they were once again linked to, someone would stumble across his body that was never buried or realise the tv shop owner hadn’t been seen in days? weeks? months?

and when they go in they would find öga för öga written in blood on the floor

the frankel footage of a completely different assassination of JFK

photos of all the academy on his wall along with all his other conspiracy theories

so now theyre all linked to JFK, elliots death and aliens probably

lets not forget the media said they were holding Five hostage, a child hostage, thats some serious business for a group that will probably be called a terrorist group as they are a group plotting against the american government and they just kidnapped some random kid

Vanya being called a russian spy having connections with the assassination would probably cause some h u g e tension between countries with arguments where russia would probably be like ‘listen america we genuinely never seen this random woman before’

Jack Rubys gang would be getting a lot of attention because of Luther, they would basically have to drop out of sight for a while because of their connections 

Diego being an asylum escapee probably changed completely how asylums are ran, which is obviously i guess a minor thing but still a change

at the end of the day no wonder Reginald didnt adopt the siblings, it wasnt because of the meal it was most likely because of being the most wanted people in america

what would people say if reginald raised the og siblings, baring in mind reginald is basically a famous inventor and billionaire who publicly shows the academy to the media, and his adopted children look identical to the most wanted criminals in american history and also a child that was held hostage and then was never found

it would cause quite a stir

they really did the most in their power to change history

HOW ARE YOU RUINED?

RUINED BY TRAUMA

you cannot get over the past. you are constantly remembering, never forgetting. you cant live in the moment because the moment is not what brought you here. you are birthed, raised, and killed in the past. you will never get over what was done to you, be it big or be it small. you cannot escape what you refuse to confront.

There's a very long pause where Klaus says absolutely nothing, staring blankly at Koruz as he tries to deconstruct what the hell that even means, looking for some sort of clue on the other's face. Klaus can almost hear Five saying the same thing, seeming to already know the punchline of the joke before anyone else can even voice the set up. He either needs more caffeine or more alcohol to argue otherwise, or to figure out what he's even arguing against -- what the hell else would it be? 

Finally, he shrugs, giving a little huff of defeat and motioning towards Koruz expectantly. He’s willing to suspend his disbelief to hear him out, at the very least. 

" Okay, fine. Sure.   Like what ? "

[altumsedere]

apocalypsxridden​:

Five looks around as Klaus takes his time lifting himself up. Checking around corners for approaching footsteps or floating cubes or murders of crows or anything of the sort. The absurdness of which barely registers to him anymore. The past two weeks and, frankly, his entire life have given him a certain numbness for this sort of stuff.

“ I wouldn’t bet on it , that man keeps more secrets than he knows what to do with . “ He answers bitterly with a hushed tone of his own. Their father was the worst, still, he hadn’t expected him to actually try to change the course of history by adopting the wrong set of super powered assholes. Bold, he had to give it to him.

Keeping his attention strictly on the hallway and not on his brother, he carefully starts moving forward. “ And you remember how protective he used to be of his research . “ He pauses and frowns, then turns back towards him.

“ Wait, my what speech ? “

Klaus scoffs softly at the mention of their father’s research -- that’s definitely a word for it, and damned if it ended up going anywhere useful, their only prize apparently an unending stay in time travel Hell. Lucky them. Following Five, he has just enough good grace to duck down closer to the floor, still counting on his brother to hear something he doesn’t. 

“ Yeah, you know ... “ 

Lowing his voice, he contorts his face into something angrier and more impatient. His eyebrows furrow in the impersonation, complete with a gravelly voice that would have sounded more at home on Diego after a bad bout of pneumonia. 

“ I’ve killed hundreds of people over the last forty years, and one more in a   fake timeline is nothing to me. ... So tell us everything you know   -- or something. “

He gives Five an encouraging thumbs up before stopping in his tracks, tucking a stray shoelace into his sneaker. 

“ I mean, assuming he doesn’t try and lock us up. You know, I’m usually   better with prison breaks when it’s the police. "

For a long moment, Klaus isn't sure how to process such a statement. Honestly, it doesn’t leave much else to fill the quiet in between, pressing in against his ears like feedback on loop until someone  ( usually him )  finally breaks the whole thing. He still isn’t accustomed to the distinct lack of a quiet whisper in his ear or constant whining of a dead sibling, and each long expanse of silence just gives him more time to think about it. Even now, he’s avoiding it, giving Vanya a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder instead. He may not understand fully, but it’s hardly an excuse to not accept it. 

“ Hey, that’s okay. I talk enough for all of us. “

Klaus nods sagely, settling into a peaceful silence and folding his hands neatly, seemingly content. He makes it all of five seconds before he jolts up, snapping his fingers and pointing at Vanya expectantly. He has an idea, perish the thought, or maybe even a compromise.

" Music ? "                  --- Except he's already moving towards the record player,                     unable to wait long enough for her answer. " Shortest gets to pick, or I can surprise you with my fiendish tastes. "

[altumsedere]

❛  maybe i’ll bore you.  ❜

(     *     BLACK MIRROR PROMPTS   !    //   accepting !

" Oh, I don't know about that. "

He answers cryptically, picking at something beneath his nails. Sea monsters, mad scientists, the general unease that comes with seeing dead people; even now, he thinks there's little that would surprise him after all he's seen, despite his attempts to chemically block it out. Boring ... maybe, but still something new and interesting. Eventually, he looks back to Millie, straightening in his seat.

" Say there's an amusement park, right? And it's the best thing ever, so you get a season pass and go every day. After a week, a month, a year -- eventually, you've been on all the rides. You've seen at least three kids get sick off corn dogs and you've had enough. ... So what do you do ? " 

There's a long moment where Klaus says nothing, pausing for dramatic effect with hands splayed open, a reveal in waiting. Eventually, he sits back, touching the tip of his nose with his index finger, relishing in the opportunity to reveal the secret behind the curtain.

" You stop going to the amusement park. "

Hold for applause.

❛  have you prepared a speech, is that it?  ❜

(     *     BLACK MIRROR PROMPTS   !    //   accepting !

" Well, I don't have any notes, but yeah, I've got a couple ideas ! " 

Klaus throws his hands up in exasperation, clenches them into fists, and turns on his heel. He doesn't want this to break them any further than they already are, but he's tired. All of them are. Whoever said 'practice makes perfect' didn't take into consideration stopping the apocalypse, and at this point, Klaus is losing hope that they'll ever succeed. 

There's a small part of him that continues to prod from the fantastical part of his brain, hoping for an excuse to not process reality -- maybe this whole thing is just a bad trip, or maybe he died years ago in that mausoleum and this is the purgatory that comes after. After a long moment, he sighs, knowing full well the familiar feeling of wishful thinking. When he turns back around to face Five, he's less angry, but still unable to keep the cynicism from his voice.

" All I'm saying is that maybe we're not meant to save the world. Maybe our luck   is just actually this shitty. I mean, if we were meant to save life as we know it,   don't you think someone would've left a manual? Or, I don’t know, given us   something more useful than  ‘ undead telephone operator ‘  and  ‘ premature   death ‘  ? "

" Who's stopping us from all hitching a ride to some decade and living out the    rest of our shitty, unlucky lives? “

[altumsedere]

❛  yeah, well, i wasn’t expecting you to be there, was i?  ❜

(     *     BLACK MIRROR PROMPTS   !    //   accepting ! 

 Klaus scoffs, having heard that one before. At least this time, he's not the one saying it and there's nothing immediately on fire (that he can see, at least). If anything, he has a warped sense of pride - whether it's at surprising Five or defying expectations, he can't be sure.

" Yeah, sucks, right? This whole 'be there for your family' thing has a total lack of personal boundaries. First it's funerals, then it's doomsday, and before you know it, Diego's bringing egg salad by for the reunion picnic. "

He shakes his head sympathetically, as if the whole thing just can't be helped, and showing no signs of leaving any time soon. 

" Why, are we keeping a secret from someone ? "
