rant bc I'm sleep deprived but that ending in s3 made me so sad??? like five spent OVER FOUR DECADES doing everything he could to get back to his siblings and stop the apocalypse and he still gets blamed??? even though he didn't do anything??? like it was literally r*ginald's plan and five and nothing to do with and it's js so heartbreaking to see him get blamed for it and like idk I js have Feelings ™ about this
Ok I have some ramblings that imma try and make coherent for y’all
Ok so I don’t have a photo but during ‘wedding at the end of the world’ when they’re outside and then Five like starts retching and then he’s like ‘I think I’m hungry’ yh that’s what imma talk about
Ok so basically it’s so sad because he sounds so surprised and like confused, which makes sense because like over the course of the whole series I think we’ve only ever seen him eat like 1 sandwich and he mostly just drinks coffee, because he obviously didn’t eat much in the apocalypse so It makes sense that he doesn’t have a really large appetite and then the commission was just a really shitty toxic environment so he probably didn’t feel super safe there but it’s just so sad that he’s so confused by this natural thing (tbf the drunkenness probably didn’t help but whatever) and I’m gonna cry 😭
BUT the THING IS!!! He says he feels hungry and it’s like first of all he’s kinda starting to recover (emotionally/psychologically) from the apocalypse and like he feels safe enough around his siblings to like…. Express this kind of ‘weakness’ and like I just think it’s so adorable 🥰
five: GUYS THE WORLD IS ENDING I NEED EVERYONE'S HELP COME ON LET'S STOP THE APOCALYPSE TOGETHER!
the hargreeves: damn five we can't do everything for you. there are more important things to deal with, such as my social life.
five: oh okay then. *does everything on his own and does not ask for help again out of fear of rejection*
the hargreeves: why don't you ever talk to us?? you never communicate!!! your such an asshole!!!
five: *asks for help again in s2*
luther: i'm gonna throw this bitch off on a flight of stairs.
everyone was feeling some kinda way this season, and none of it was good
horror movie style TUA fic. at the climax when the bloodied, shadowy figure holding a hatchet appears in the doorway with a flash of lightning, everybody panics…for .5 seconds. and then they blink and realize that it’s just five. the serial killer is dead and five killed him. It’s cool, I handled it, Five says, blowing a strand of limp, blood-wet hair out of his eyes. Does anyone know where I can find a shovel?
@tomateosoup my friend, how does it feel having a better grasp on these characters than me without having watched the show asdfghjkl?
also the implication that the siblings never even saw the killer is. Sending me.
the hargreeves siblings: haha there’s a myth that a serial killer roams these woods, eternally in search of his next victim. what a spooky legend with no basis in fact at all!
the hargreeves, after hearing a grand total of one (1) weird noise outside: haha lets all stand back to back in the living room holding knives. just in case. :)
and then ten minutes standing in the dark with weapons one of them goes, “well, hey, at least we have five!”
followed shortly by someone realizing that they do not in fact have five, and distracting them from the knife circle because one of them lost five, but nobody is fessing up.
no one lost five. he dipped like seven hours ago because children stay in the house while the adults deal with axe murderers in the wood.
YES. Also, consider: Allison, hearing foxes scream: Wow, weird birds. I wonder where Five is. Allison: Allison: shit. Five??? Five??? Five, in the house, taking a break from murder to stir a cup of coffee and stitch up his leg cause the serial killer set out bear traps: What? Allison: oh okay Later Klaus, listening to screaming: huh, weird birds. I wonder where Five went? Klaus: Klaus: … Five? FIVE????? Klaus, bursting into the house: I THINK FIVE’S KILLING PEOPLE Allison: Naw he was inside earlier when things were screaming Diego: He has an alibi Klaus: oh okay Five, in the forest, axing a man: this would be much easier if you hadn’t put out bear traps
im CHOKING. he has an alibi!!! this would be much easier if you hadn’t put out bear traps
five, trained assassin, staring down at his foot that’s currently stuck in a bear trap: honestly I don’t know whether I’m more impressed that you actually injured me, or embarrassed that I didn’t see this cliche coming.
also consider klaus: hey, you’re back early! five: serial killer in the woods klaus: what? five: *loading a pistol and limping back out the door on a bandaged leg* serial killer in the woods
(then a moment later:
klaus: wait, why are you limping? did you twist your ankle? five: bear trap klaus: ….WHAT??? five, dropping the bloody and dismantled bear trap on the kitchen counter: bear trap klaus: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK)
strangely enough there are still rumors of axe murderers in the woods, but now it’s usually accompanied by bloodthirsty little boys
literally everyone on this post is funnier than me asdfghjkl
It's been snowing the past couple of days and i keep catching myself wander back to Five as a fellow c-ptsd haver, because it's so much more than just flashbacks
- Five with a complex relationship with his name, having days when he's thinking about choosing a different one, but just forgets about it and stays with "five"
- Feeling like he'll never really belong anywhere and everything is fleeting- Bad days when the intrusive thoughts can't seem to stop, and Klaus was holding that knife so close, with just one movement he could kill him, he could kill any of them, it would be so easy to kill himself, but shUT U P-
- Hyper aware of the fact he's physically younger than his siblings, with how most of them live and the unpredictability of life, he could be burying them the next day again
Hating being alone because it reminds him of the apocalypse, but feeling like he doesn't belong, so he's stuck in a loop
- Sick of losing his family and friends over and over again, with wanting to just make it stop, playing with suicidal ideation
- When the commission day memories are coming back, and he fully remembers *killed so many people*
- Struggling with insomnia and fearing to fall asleep because of the nightmares, sometimes sleep paralysis, when he can see nothing but the faces of people they made seconds before they died, and he can hear the pleading before the shot
- Can't stand the sound of heels against the floor, silence, and complete darkness
- Immediately distrustful to people the second they look at him with a studying expression
- Not remembering majority of his life, like most of it was covered in fog
- Starts to internally panic when anyone raises their voice around him (canon tho)
- Hates the cold and the snow, the dry and unforgiving heat, not really trusting the fireplace either
- Who talks to himself so often because he keeps forgetting others are there
- Angry his life was fucked over by a matter of seconds, and angry at the handler and his father for making him like this
- Getting teary eyes when hit by the realization he survived everything. His childhood. The commission. The apocalypses. He's seen so much, done so much, and he's still kicking.
- With extreme sense of shortened future, not knowing what to do because normally a human doesn't have a restart at 58, that's such a long time but he could die any minute because what if the brain is also that old and will fuck up the young body
- Who panics and blinks away the minute someone reminds him of the handler or his father, be it with clothing, features or mannerism
- Flinching at certain phrases and accents (especially posh london ones)
- Can't stand action and movies around the cold-war era, because of the destruction and bombs, reminding him of the 60s apocalypse, the commission and some cases his apocalypse
- Feeling guilty about leaving his siblings go trough so much shit from their father
- With depersonalization & derealization, or overall disociation, struggling with feeling real, because the body couldn't process it all before
- With memory issues and repressed memories coming back in the middle of the day
- Problems with actually feeling human and belonging somewhere
- Calling bs that someone wants to genuinely hang out with him
- Finally discovering hobbies and what he enjoys
- Feeling disgusted, or thrown off guard by people making gentle, kind or reassuring comments, because "have i gone so soft and bad that people take pity on me?", but hating it, because "they care about you, they're just checking up on you"
- Complex relationship with physical touch, wanting to make up for it, craving it, but hating it at first, slowly easing into it and opening up
- Once comfortable, never letting go of a hug first
- Who seeks happy endings in stories, because it gives hope that his life can turn out still bearable
- Rightfully pissed that he had no childhood and not much of a life either, making up for it now
- Struggling with eating and drinking because he forgets he has stable access to food and water
- Emotional flashbacks and numbing, but goes from 0 to 100 real quick upon sensing a threat
Ever so often slipping back into old apocalypse habits
I can't be stopped TUA memes PT.2 B99 Edition
The Xmas special nobody asked for
If I had to sum up The Umbrella Academy and The Sparrow Academy
Luther (mostly s1): mentions their dad
Everybody ever:
Guys I want Five to have the power to stop time so badly. I firmly believe he should be able to. This power should be something well within his abilities
He rewound time in s2…and this was different from when he usually time travels. This time, he wasn’t just some passive traveler travelling from point A to point B, he was directly manipulating time, controlling it. He was literally unravelling the timeline. AND if he really was the founder of the commission, he must’ve had a hand in creating the briefcases. I assume that’s what the handler used to stop time in s1. But this power wouldn’t be time travel, it’d be time manipulation
FIVE SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP TIME
Could you imagine the tension or the intensity of a scene where five has to stop time? Imagine something devastating is about to happen, something that determines the fate of the world, something that will only take a split *second* to occur. All the hargreeves look towards it in slow-motion, their faces alarmed, because they didn’t anticipate this. No one did. And then five just blasts out this power, and time just…stops.
Nothing is moving except him.
And he’s able to do what he can to save the world, but he has to be quick because he can’t hold time for long. Time can’t be held. It’s not natural. Time is supposed to move forward, and it will fight against him.
no explanation for this one. just take it
Here’s a question for you all - what would you like to see in tua s4?
in no particular order:
A mission to get their powers back/siblings divided over missing powers
Five catching at least another 2-episode break
Klaus Gets Serious™
Something being creepily fucked up in Allison’s new life
Reggie & Abigail power couple
Reggie getting to be evil the whole season
Sloane is alive (also the other Sparrows too, sure)
More Ben redemption arc
Viktor in a tank top (for... reasons...)
Viktor learning how to fight without powers
Five wrecks shop again to an upbeat song (I was so upset he didn’t beat up those bikers 😔)
Happy ending
Happy Ace Week to this bitch (affectionate) and all my wonderful ace friends!!
