Ahhhhhhhh. Just saw a post about "you guys only hate the Five Lila thing because you're jealous"
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
I constantly think about that Griddys story that Five tells the man in episode one. Because he recounted with so much detail and love. How hard do you think he held onto that memory for 40+ years?? Does he have other stories he stores deep in his heart to motivate himself against everything. Do you think he killed children who looked like his siblings and tried so hard to forget their scared faces. Do you think he told Delores any stories of his siblings in hopes of meeting them like a "normal family"? Do the other brellies even remember those memories anymore? I wonder if Five retells a memory to them while drunk, and they dont remember any of it (they were 12 and traumatized most of that isn't gonna stick)
NO LITERALLY
HE TOLD THE FIRST PERSON HE MET ABOUT HIS SIBLINGS. HE LOVES THEM SO MUCH!!!!
Me and the mutuals doing an angst sharing circle
THE JOURNAL IDEA IS SO SAD BUT IT'S CANON NOW. he 100% added anecdotes on Viktors book
Also I need that fic rn pretty please!!!!
Ouchhh !!!!
But yesss he definitely drew their faces from what he remembers and also tried drawing a grown up Ben bc he kinda remembers him but hes the only one he hasn't grown up. Five has seen the bodies of his grown up siblings, he has Viks face on the book. But no Ben:(

really don't appreciate how Luther blames five for them getting stuck in Texas. Like??? I get being somewhat upset over it but the way they're all consistently mean to five about it drives me bonkers especially when we pair it with them being mad at Him for the apocalypse
I dunno in some ways I get it and it's good that five apologized cause intentionally or not he did harm them but like also are yall kidding? Really? Really?? This is a ridiculous reason to be mad at him. He did not choose the apocalypse. He didn't want any of this to happen. He's the only person consistently working to save the world and has been for like half a century. Can yall give him a break
my main problem with s4 is that it's rushed. like. it starts with a SIX YEARS timeskip and to me it's a huge amount of time and like. they don't elaborate on it, it's just yeah here are the same characters that you love but they aren't the ones that you're used to because to them it's been six years and they changed and their relationship changed and basically everything changed but instead of showing it properly they just showed us the result. like okay you say that diego and lila are now not very satisfied with their lives, but can you show how they ended up in this situation. how diego got a job he didn't like, how lila was gradually realizing that doing only mother things isn't for her and she wants some other entertainment, how she started secretly going to the keepers meetings. how they live with their kids as a family and become more and more tired. same goes for everyone else, like why did ray leave allison, how did five decide to join the cia (and if they've shown for example that he felt lost in the reset universe and didn't know what to do because now he can't do things he's good at, and that's how he started thinking about cia because it was at least a bit similae to what he had done before, then it would even make sense), how klaus changed, how ben ended up doing that crypto shit, how luther chose his job, something about viktor's bar and him not knowing how to build proper romantic relationship etc etc, there were so many things they could've told us about and that would make that change in characters' personalities seem more natural. the same goes for the five and lila timeline metro arc, i still think that the romantic part was absolutely awful and unnecessary but instead they could've given us more than just saying like "yeah it's been seven years and now we're extremely attached to each other". maybe for them it was seven years, for me it was 20 minutes of the episode and it wasn't enough time for me to get attached and to see their relationship as something understandable. so to me it's just mischaracterization which, i think, could've been avoided if they just showed us more of the characters' lives and interactions. and i understand that maybe there were budget problems or anything else and the season was already short and they tried to show everything while being limited in timing but i still have the right to complain and express opinion and my opinion is that it was just bad
The six year timeskip is especially frustrating because this used to be the flashback show!!! Flashbacks and memory were a key part of the storytelling from the beginning!!
Season 2 was showing flashbacks of the characters during these (much shorter) timeskips!
Then, in s4, we had literally changed!! Its been six years, the universe reset, Reggie runs the city, they're all without their powers, they've all had personality flips, and also extremely organized, secret apocalypse death cult has formed across the country. And we see that none of the development. There's no interesting story reason for not showing how everything's evolved. They just don't.
It also just makes it's so obvious that one of the main reason they did that large of a timeskip is so they could age up Five for that romance.
and aging up five was also kinda stupid at least doing it like that, i was even hoping for him to have that non-aging problem he has in the comics and if i got it right in the comics he's immortal so why not making him immortal here, it could have opened so many more possibilities for his development & maybe to develop their relationship with klaus because klaus is immortal too and they could have so much to talk about and im kinda disappointed that they left all this not just because of the actor aging but because they wanted to add stupid romance that didn't make sense
On the Five/Lila topic: I think it's very telling that the fandom collectively fell in love with Klaus/Dave's relationship that we saw a total of like 3 minutes off, and can, for the most part, not get behind Five and Lila besides the much longer screen time. It just goes to show that they don't work as a romantic couple. I would argue we wouldn't have found them much more believable had the show spent a full hour on them train-hopping together.
TRUE, i absolutely love klaus and dave and they're so precious to me for many reasons and one of them is that their love doesn't contradict their personalities in any way. when they do what they do, i don't think "oh they would not do that", because they WOULD and it looks believable and beautiful. five and lila on the other hand? my only thought was like wtf they both would not do that. and the thing is that they ALREADY had very beautiful friendship dynamics and there was a huge potential of developing it so they could've ended up as sarcastic bitchec best friends bonded over similar trauma caused by similar people but we got what we got and when they kissed, when five called lila "love" i was thinking who tf these people are and where are the characters i know. and it became even worse when five had an argument with diego and how they died without any resolution like they all (diego, lila and five) had such beautiful dynamics in s2-s3 why did you need to ruin that

wanna hc that five has insomnia And chronic sleep deprivation bc i do and im tired
i thought if mankind toured the stars it meant that all of us could go
listen to rät by penelope scott and think abt luther. do it.
the fact that Luther, Allison, Klaus, AND Viktor ALL found their soulmates in different timelines/time periods through their time traveling is just SO juicy and could’ve been such a point of emotional conflict in this last season??? If all the timelines need to be destroyed but that would mean erasing the people they fell in love with?? erasing Sloane and Ray and Dave and Sissy?? Characters who actually were important to the seasons they appeared in, and who were so crucial to the Umbrellas’ character development?? Why not honor them and those incredible relationships in the swan song??
Instead, they did … that.
