I'm going to be fairly honest, I don't support these kinds of actions. I have never left a burger out and I'm always very cautious about the stuff I do when I'm working. Please do not spread misinformation about my small business ever again.
who up thinking about delores and five because itโs me
posted about this song like a year ago (here) because i was up all night crying thinking about them and the day has come where i finally edited them to it. i โค๏ธ procrastination ! ! !
real talk: this is my baby. i started it over three months ago. this is one of the most well-made songs iโve ever heard and itโs literally about doomscrolling. syncing the music to the extremely fast pace of the drums was so unbelievably difficult but so so worth it. genuinely one of my favorite things iโve ever made, to the point that iโve been procrastinating posting it for several weeks in case only like two people see it.
but who cares!!! i just wish that whatever two people see it think itโs as cool as i do
take a peek under the cut for the ramblings of a madwoman who spent way too long meticulously planning out every single shot of this thing
okay so iโve had a recent fixation on djo, and when i heard this song for the first time i was like โgoddamn those drums are so cool, the buildup is fantastic, the vocals are done so well, overall itโs just super goodโ and then i thought nothing of it otherwise that it was a great song
but then i got this particular bit stuck in my head and suddenly the lyrics started clicking with the siblings a bit too well and i was like..ok so i have no choice but to spend entirely too much time assembling an edit to this particular bit right. like thereโs no question i simply have to right
anyway i really did think it would be one of those projects so big that i would procrastinate it until i no longer had any motivation to actually make it and then lo and behold i was just too excited not to get going. so i did
anyway ok so i pictured this edit broken up into three main parts:
a) fiveโs experience with the apocalypse, since the events of the show basically wouldnโt exist without his knowledge and determination to stop it
b) viktorโs descent into the white violin
c) the four apocalypses and what caused them all building up to this climax before dropping off into the shot of the marigolds at the very end. because if i was a casual viewer that wouldโve personally made me lose my marbles
hereโs a lyric analysis in the context of tua + the specific visuals i had pictured:
something is about to break โ five is about to run right into the apocalypse and change his life in a devastating way / the meal directly before five leaves, cutting abruptly to him realizing his mistake while surrounded by destruction
the fault line has been fractured โ nothing can change the inevitability of what is about to happen, five has always been stubborn and determined and he was always going to run right into his own downfall / five with his siblings, seemingly content to stay with them
maybe itโs not too late โ exactly what it says, maybe itโs not too late for five to turn around and save himself / mere moments before his mistake, as he runs out of the academy to go prove himself
to learn how to love each other โ five can still turn around and realize that what he has is all he needs and that venturing into the unknown may end badly for him / five opening the gates and saying goodbye to the life he couldโve held onto
whatโs it gonna take to change it? โ what could possibly change the outcome now that fiveโs messed up? (not a single thing) / five slowly realizing his mistake and trying to undo it contrasted directly to his siblingsโ continued lives at the academy
donโt you wanna save this planet? โ wouldnโt it have been better to have thought this through? what if heโd been able to prevent the apocalypse by sticking around? (he couldnโt have) / continued shots of five v. his siblings
blame it on manipulation โ five could tell himself that it didnโt have to be this way and that it all happened because he just wanted to prove himself to his father / continues shots of five v. his siblings, except heโs come to terms with his situation and heโs now doing what it takes to survive + growing up in this terrible place
weโre human after all โ exactly what it says, five was always going to make this mistake because heโs only human at the end of the day / five slowly turning to the handler after hearing her offer, taking in the thought of exactly what heโs going to have to do to survive and save his family
second time through . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
something is about to break โ viktor is about to cause the apocalypse and thereโs nothing anyone can do to stop it / viktor getting overwhelmed by the things heโs learned and his newly-discovered abilities and hurting allison
the fault line has been fractured โ the damage has been done, viktor has been hurt and lied to and manipulated and itโs all going to topple over uncontrollably / viktor discovering leonardโs lie and killing him
maybe itโs not too late โ maybe if things change, maybe if his siblings could listen and understand whatโs going on, the apocalypse wouldnโt be inevitable (it always will be) / viktor going back to the academy to check on allison and ask for forgiveness, just to be locked away like he always has been
to learn how to love each other โ luther and klaus and diego can still try talking to viktor before he descends to a point of no return (they wonโt) / viktor trying to convince them to let him out and talking to a vision of his younger self
whatโs it gonna take to change it? โ what could possibly stop viktor now, as he destroys the academy and leaves for the concert at the end of the world? (nothing can) / viktor looking through the home he grew up in and seeing nothing but his familyโs contempt for him, leaving nothing but destruction in his wake
donโt you wanna save this planet? โ couldnโt this have been prevented? couldnโt his siblings have just talked to him and helped him work through his trauma? couldnโt that alone have saved so many lives? (of course not) /
blame it on manipulation โ viktor spent his entire life thinking he was worthless at the manipulation of his father, causing the neglect to build up into mass devastation / viktor seeing allison as he plays and thinking sheโs finally there for him, just to discover it was all a ploy to stop him
weโre human after all โ viktor is only human, when driven to the point heโs at, he can only take so much before everything builds up and comes to an end / the last moments before everything explodes
anyway thatโs about it. i cannot actually express with words how much i loved making this despite how tedious and painstaking it was (and how much i did NOT want to watch s4 to scavenge for clips and also edit them).
i genuinely donโt know if anyone is reading this because itโs more for me to just ramble about a bit of a passion project for me lol. but if you are, i love you thanks
anyway LISTEN TO DJO!!!! listen to djo, especially this song, because i fucking levitated the first time i just sat down and listened to this song, with headphones on and my eyes shut, and took it all in. itโs a song about doomscrolling for the love of god, but the lyrics are masterly crafted and the instrumentals are heavenly. djo is a warlock we charge at dawn
also hereโs some more of me rambling about it because i truly never shut up
ok thanks so much for reading and watching and supporting have a lovely day!! mwah mwah mwah
me when i remember i have free will and i can draw my friendsโ hyperfixation characters clothing swapped with my hyperfixation characters
anyways here is some umbrella academy + ena dream bbq stuff for my friends @quimbitz and @alexnotone :>
psa: i literally know nothing about ena so my apologies if these make no sense, i just thought it would be funny to combine mine and my friendsโ hyperfixations!!
hello!!! today is may fifth (5/05) which means itโs five day!!!!! so here is a mini art dump of some recent five drawings :)
^ this one is a recent favorite of mine, iโve been loving sketching with this one particular pen because the hatching is just so fun. i will be doing many many more drawings in this style, trust ๐
(also: after talking it over with a friend i decided not to add the mustache because this is very clearly the outfit from the greenhouse scene and he literally does not have a mustache. why do they have a mustache on him. what the hell is up with that)
^ another recent favorite with that same pen!! very very proud of this one, iโve always struggled with making a face look exactly like the person itโs referencing but for some reason i feel like i really nailed this one :>
^ none of these really look like the references and that pisses me off but i am proud of them regardless. i love drawing old five even if i struggle to do him any justice whatsoever ๐ช๐ช
^ just some silly little studies!! my favorite is his disgusted face, i think itโs very fun and silly and also i managed to make him look very disgusted. cโmon guys stop laughing!!!! who does he gotta kill to get a decent cup of coffee!!!!!!
^ this one is fun even though it truly looks nothing like him. bonus points for mary j. blige in the og pic!!!
^ i literally have no idea whatโs going on with broโs eyes in this one, i tried a different style with no reference picture and chaos ensued
^ this shit is so fucking stupid i canโt take it
^ this is one i did forever ago on whiteboard fox with my friends!! i actually never got around to doing that dtiys challenge even though i was so excited to and i did this instead, but i do not feel confident about it enough to submit it there so into the art dump it goes!!!
^ these are just a few older digital sketches that i feel iffy about, but they are five so weโll toss them in with the rest of the bunch!!
^ just some silly little old five sketches, i really think we need to unanimously draw and write about a teenage punk rebellious lila and an old tired five as an assassin frenemies duo. i think they could be unstoppable, please and thank you
^ also: pooptoe is very special to me, i was at the park sketching with @quimbitz and she told me to draw five as a potato so i did and then she wrote pooptoe and we laughed for several minutes on end and it is now a beloved inside joke. bless
anyways!! i havenโt posted any art in like forever, but i am working on so much behind the scenes and trying to decide how i wanted to post it all, but i think iโve got some ideas so stay tuned for that !!
Genuinely curious, what about umbrella academy caused you to become so hooked on the series? Im not super into the show, but it is super sweet seeing your love for it stay strong for as long as it has. :)
five did thanks for asking
ok but on a serious note i genuinely just love every single character, i think the plots are really interesting and well-written (mostly), i think itโs super well acted, i love love love the soundtrack because itโs just soooo so so good, and overall i just think itโs such a cool show. but i do have a bit of a hyperfixation specifically on five just because heโs so fascinating to me.
100% would not be this hyperfixated on tua if it werenโt for old man five and thatโs all there is to it really
hi here are some five doodles that i stacked up while not being able to draw digitally
^ this one i actually really love. i think the hatching is very fun and also the glittery ink is very fun
^ s4 hair and suit in the bath. ignore brendan urie in the corner
^ s4 hair and also listen. iโm telling you. my favorite references to use for five are old men. because the poses and demeanor will always fit him. also old men dress well idc argue with the wall
^ i got too lazy to draw the chainsaw
^ silly little outfit sketches idk could we have put five in a sweater vest. like not the academy outfit but like an old man sweater vest. one he picked out himself. i just think it would be so neat
^ i actually donโt care for this one that much because i think i accidentally made the hair too bulky but im dropping it here anyways lol
okay that is all thank you for tuning in to my old man obsession
