Okay so I saw this post ->
okay so my friend and i ((@hotchnersdoormat)) had this really dumb idea,, what if the bau just had a 7 seat van instead of the two black suv
And I HAD to do it for the TUA bbs so I hope you guys enjoy :P
This is how they would sit and no you cannot change my mind
okay so maybe a couple of the siblings tried to fight Luther for driving rights
but Luther is the WORST when it comes to backseat driving
like Allison is pretty bad and don't even get me STARTED on Diego
he also totally does that thing every dad I know does where he has to check a million times to make sure they have everything before they go ANYWHERE
"and you're SURE we brought the-"
"for fucks sake YES, we have EVERYTHING"
literally tunes everyone else out as soon as they hit the highway and is v focused on the road
because he'll be damned if they went through all this shit and then end up dying because he hit a slick spot on the road
he's the one who fought Luther the hardest for driving privilege
he lost but only because Luther annoys the fuck out of him when he tries to drive
honestly the only reason he even wanted to drive was because Luther drives so S L O W
everyone knows speed limits are only suggestions
since he doesn't get to drive, he has total control over the radio
even though everyone HATES the station he chooses
half of them are convinced he just picks the stations he thinks will annoy Luther the most
but Luther doesn't even pay attention so it's pretty much in vain
when he gets bored of messing with Luther he gazes out the window like a bored kid on a long road trip
will fucking death glare anyone who tries to fuck with her so the back seaters (Klaus) don't even bother at this point
usually working on something (reading a book, looking through a stack of papers, working on some minuscule project)
honestly would've caved and taken a back seat if pressed hard enough, but super relieved that it didn't come to that
had to put down whatever she was doing a few times to stop a verbal spat
usually between Five and Klaus
she doesn't even really bother with Luther and Diego anymore
maybe tried to start up a game a few times, but gave up when it fell flat
everyone has beef with Klaus by the end of any road trip they go on
legitimately refuses to shut up the entire time
nags Diego persistently until he caved and allows him to pick the station for the duration of ONE song
fucks with Five CONSTANTLY
flicking Five on the back of his head
leaning over the seat to look at whatever Five is doing
asks so. many. questions.
the only time he gets quiet is when he receives one of Allison's death glares
but even that doesn't restrain him for long
the only joy he reaps from these car rides is from witnessing his siblings getting more and more exasperated at his antics
mah boy just wants to gaze longingly out the window like the emo he is
gets super pissy at Klaus but honestly knows he would get bored if Klaus weren't there
that doesn't mean he won't snap a few times
would've been prepared to physically fight any of his siblings if they tried to seat him in the back
"hey guys, you ever heard of the quiet game?"
while Klaus does entertain him (not that he would admit it) he genuinely does wish he could get some peace and quiet
after 45 years you get used to peace and quiet
does crosswords and reads books when he can
Ben honestly hits both ends of the spectrum when it comes to car rides
for a good half of the trip, he retreats into his own little world
for the other half, he is the life of the unwanted party
he acts as Klaus' right hand man
but he's the one who comes up with increasingly rash ways to irritate the family
having Klaus drop ice cubes down Five's shirt? best moment of the whole trip.
in his calmer moments on the trip, he sometimes glances over Allison's shoulder to read along with her
he's the only one who manages to fall asleep in the car
she reads books and newspapers and such
talks to Five about random things for a while
tries to keep Klaus entertained for the sake of the others, but he seems to get even more hyper on these trips so she can't keep him busy for long
tries to nap a few times but can't manage to get there
enjoys watching her siblings doing their individual things
is honestly super entertained by Klaus and plays along with a few of the things he and Ben pull
taps on Five's right shoulder and acts completely innocent when he turns around to look at her
he glares at Klaus and tries to figure out how he's turning away so quickly
until Vanya let's out a chuckle and gives it away
