So The Point Of The Umbrella Academy Is To Not Fix You’re Family Trauma And Kill Yourself For Being

All my mutuals are hot. Reblog to tell your mutuals they are hot.

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

Klaus really has a high emotional intelligence. He is described as "oddly perceptive", picking up on things regarding others that no one else does in the book "Extra Ordinary". He sees when others are excluded. When people act shitty but are actually desperately lonely. And he tries to make them feel better!

But that also means that he realized very early on that they weren't truly loved.

"He hated children too and he had plenty of us." That statement becomes extremely bitter and sad when Reginald does say "I have a deep dislike of children. I do not have them, nor do I intend to have them" in the 60s when they time travelled in season 2.

Thinking about this shot from S1 again…

I’ve seen multiple people refer to it as the ‘dollhouse shot’ and I think that perfectly describes it.

The way they were used and puppeteered in their childhoods by Reggie to be picture perfect. They were manipulated and exploited for years, treated like toys to do whatever you wish with.

But as ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ plays in the background, it emphasises their new independence. It really pushes how they’re free from the over-looming control of Reggie and the manipulation they had faced is finally over.

They are finally free.

Listen, the most heartbreaking part of all this, for me, is that David Castañeda basically begged the showrunners not to do the story line and they did it anyway.

literally??

Genuinely why would Lila not be happy in a relationship with Diego???

THAT MAN WANTED TO BE A HERO, HE WANTED TO BE NUMBER ONE, HE WAS A FUCKING VIGILANTE FOR FUCKS SAKE HE KNEW THAT NORMAL LIFE SUCKED AND WANTED TO DO MORE!!!

AND YOURE TELLING ME LILA DIDNT THINK TO TALK WITH HIM ABOUT THAT SHIT?????? THAT MAN WOULD HAVE SAID ‘YES MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE GO WRECK HAVOC ILL PICK UP THE KIDS TODAY AND DONT FORGET NEXT WEEKEND ITS MY TURN TO GO PUNCH SOME PEOPLE’

DIEGO WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD “BOOKCLUB” AND HAVE SUPPORTED IT 110%

realest shit

I don't do things like I'm running out of time just because I'm a Hamilton fan.

I do things like I'm running out of time because I'm actually running out of time to do them.

Like, I have a test tomorrow and I haven't studied a single page yet (but I will).

fucking real. THEIR CHILDISH BANTER COULDVE BEEN SO FUCKING FUNNY I SWEAR

I think I’ve seen some similar takes on this already but the whole lila and five get stuck in the time line subway subplot had a lot of potential actually but they just BUTCHERED it with the whole romance thing

imo the could have just done this:

- show them bickering and arguing, fighting over wich station/line to chose next in a sibling like manner

- show lila falling asleep on fives shoulder as she keeps mumbling about some stupid thing Diego has done while five tops that story with an even more stupid anecdote from their childhood

- show five trying to shave himself without a mirror and failing miserably until lila rolls her eyes and goes “give it here you absolute imbecile” and then helping him out BUT STAYING AT A REASONABLE DISTANCE AND NOT BREATHING ALL OVER HIS FACE

- show them freezing on the subway floor, five mentioning how they could save body heat by staying close to each other, visibly uncomfortable, and lila pulls a face but they end up falling asleep shoulder to shoulder NOT CUDDLING

- show them at the greenhouse timeline, covering the walls with self-drawn maps and complicated calculations, brooding night after day after night, trying to figure this out with lila drawing little hearts on the paper with her kids initials in it

- show five finding the map on the subway, immediately rushing to tell lila whose face lights up like a supernova and as she exclaims “fuck, we’re going home!” she tries to high five him (it doesn’t really work, because five does NOT do high fives) and then pulls him in for a hug. five just about lets that happen, but he smiles a tiny smile and they arrive just in time for Christmas

basically instead of the romance that gave everyone the ick, they could have just gone for the whole sibling like dynamic between the two of them that I adored a lot in the previous season(s)!!!!
