If some of y'all character bashing Luther haters dont chill out for just a second to realize how toxic character bashing is. As a cringy fandom vetern its getting a little tiring at this point. Seriously, just chill the fuck out for a second.

If you can PLEASE go watch The Voices starring Ryan Reynolds, you won't regret it

POG

I’m so proud of these doodles,,,, However my hands hurt now,,,

Also Vanya isnt a saint, none of the siblings are. They're all terrible people because thats the point of the show, its a grim take on superheros and it portrays the different outcomes of abuse. Luther has a superiority complex, Diego has a superhero complex, Allison uses her powers for personal gain, Klaus is a drug addict, Five killed people for a living, Ben is... A real sweetheart, and Vanya trusted a lunatic and harmed her siblings. But you know what? Its all justified and has a reason, which was the terrible shitty parenting from Reginald.

In defense of Luther

So umbrella academy season 2 is officially out and I think I can safely say that, Luther is not that bad and he is my favorite character. I probably lost most of you but I think this needs to said, this will be me explaining why I dont hate Luther(quite the opposite really) and you shouldnt either.

1. The Moon

One of the biggest points of hating Luther is that he wont shut up about the moon and how he should just get over it because it was 4 years. But lets be honest, how many times did he really talk about the moon? Because its not that much in the grand scheme of things. Luther was left on the moon ALONE for 4 years, doing things that he thought were meaningful and helpful to his father but it turns how Reginald didnt even bother reading his reports and letters. Its not just about the 4 years either, Luther spent his entire life in that house and once again he was ALONE both physically and mentally. Physically, his siblings left him and started their own life. Mentally, his siblings were never really there for him they all were put up against each other striving for their fathers attention.

2. Fatherly love

The hargreeves siblings never got their fathers love, which effected them differently. They didnt even get real names, their names were given to them by Grace and no their father. Now as you know Luther is the only sibling you trusts Reginald, why? Because he's never given a reason to not trust him. He is number 1 and that means he has the most responsibility and the most trust from his father. Which royally fucks your mindset up, he has a superiority complex of course, but why shouldnt he? He's the most emotionally naive and pair that with the grooming tactics from Reginald, you have a poor kid wrapped in their fathers web. Not to mention that he was deformed and turned into a monster by the only person he trusted

3. The "Betrayal"

So as you know at the end of the season Luther hugs Vanya and then throws her in a tight cell. Most of the fans hate him for this very specific reason, but should you? Of course its a really scummy thing to do and its good reason to hate him, but you have to understand why. Luther has only seen the destructiveness of her powers and moments ago he saw the woman he loved(which is super gross but there's a reason for it) almost die at the hands of his sister, who he didnt even know had powers. In his mind she's the reason for the apocalypse and locking her up will stop it, but of course it doesn't. How was he supposed to know that? Its what his father did and in his mind it seems right. Also the other siblings(except Allison) didnt really try to stop him either, why pick and choose based on what character you like. They had no fucking clue what to do and it seemed to be the right choice.

I have a genuine request, if you hate Luther tell me why. That doesnt include "he's annoying" or "he wont shut up about the moon", I'll wait

Hm... How many times times does Luther talk about the moon? Twice? And that was because he found out his entire purpose of living was ✨nothing✨

I'd be pretty fucking upset if I was put into total isolation with limited food for four years. Give the boy a break-

I used to relate to Shane because I was a sad depression teenager who just needed someone to relate to. Now im still that but I've found new and better creators, I unsubscribed to Shane after the Jake Paul series. Mac and Garret are my 2 favorite creators and they are just so much better, Garret is so precious and im honestly happy he(and Drew) doesnt make videos with Shane anymore(from what ive seen lately)

Shane Dawson is racist and complicit in racism. He isnt being “manipulated.” His history has always been there. He is friends with Keemstar, Trisha Paytas, Tana Mongeau, and more. All these people have an extensive racist history, just as him. His business partner is Jeffree Star, a literal racist who made Nazi makeup products and was verbally abusive towards black artists, esp black women. Even now JS is still getting exposed for his mistreatment of black people and Shane remains by his side creating products together.

Stop shifting the blame on Shane being ‘gullible’ and ‘easily manipulated.’ He doesn’t need protecting. He is a GROWN ASS MAN. Hold him accountable. Let’s also not forget Shane’s older videos where he joked about r*ping young girls which idk if he ever even apologized for. There’s plenty more white gays on YouTube with corny humor to watch.

So I finished up my work early in geometry and since we're allowed to draw on the board I did some holiday doodles. Also my friend says im grounded for being good at art, so that was nice of him. But frick you Brendon I'll do what I want

Defending Luther 2: Electric Boogaloo

This will be a sequel to my previous post defending Luther but this will be a character analysis(my first actually). I would like to thank the kind people on a TUA discord server who I had a nice chat with about Luther as a character. So lets begin

Luther is number 1, with the power of super strength and enhanced durability he is the leader of The Umbrella Academy. Although you may think that because he is Number 1 he is the most important but he is quite the opposite. Thanks to a good pal on discord, I have learned that the numbers go from the least powerful to the most powerful(according to the creators), which would make Luther the least powerful. 'But Floral!' I hear you shouting, 'he prides himself being number 1 and he's Reginalds golden child, why would he care is Luther wasnt powerful?' Well let me explain. Its a grooming tactic, a common emotional grooming tactic is being kind to your victim to gain their trust and make them vulnerable to abuse. Sound familiar? Luther is the weakest link, Reginald stroked his ego to get him to be his perfect little soldier which caused a rift in the siblinhs relationship. Reginald MADE them hate each other so they would see each other as competition, which in turn made them vulnerable to his false praise. A child strives for attention and affection, especially Luther in this case, as said before in the show Luther is highly sensitive. He gets overwhelmed by his emotions and often crumbles when they become to much for him. Perhaps Reginald taught him that his sensitivity is a weakness which is why he's so emotionally stunted, not wanting to disappoint his father. He never saw anything wrong with Reginalds parenting, he's the most emotionally naive and he slurped up all of this scum bags bull shit. He didnt understand why it was so bad for the others because Luther was treated differently because Reginald saw him as a weak link.

Now we get into his relationship with Allison, its weird and gross but it has a reason. Yet again thanks to someone on discord, I realized that Allison and Luther didnt see eachother as siblings. They were more than that because they had a special bond, they had eachothers back and that trust turned into love. They were children, they are not blood related and they once again never saw themselves as siblings so to them they never saw anything bad about it. Luther's pining for Allison is a result of their abusive childhood, when you're in a miserable state of living you find anything to bring you joy. That thing for Luther was Allsion, in a way she was his light in their dark fucked up childhood. Does it make it right? No of course not but it sheds light upon why they like each other. Don't forget that they are very awkward around each other, because their relationship never went anywhere, they never kissed and they never did anuthing romantic at all. Luther was a virgin for 30 years until he had a mental breakdown in season 1 and had sex with the rave girl. Allison had a daughter and a husband, she had her own life when she left home. Now in season 2 when Luther find out that Allison is married he has a small breakdown and stress eats(because he is emotionally stunted and cant deal with his emotions in a healthy way). For years he lived in a fantasy world, where he and Allison would end up together and live happily ever after, but that fantasy was a dream that he made up to get through life. He is upset that Allison didnt wait for him because he truly thought she would but he does end up getting over it, because he's grown as a character. He is happy for Allison and sure he's still upset but he understands, he understands how alone she was and he... Forgives her. His fantasy and dreams were smashed when he finally opened his eyes to Reginalds bullshit, he was blissfully ignorant for his whole life because it was his coping mechanism, to deny everything. He's a poor kid who never had a REAL chance to grow up, being subjected to his fathers impossible standards and getting turned into a ugly monster in return.

So that's all I can say for right now, in short he deserves a hug. Let me know how I did, this is my first character analysis :D
