There's something so bittersweet about the childhood flashbacks in tua. They were all children together. Reginald was horrible, but they had each other. And then everything went to shit. Five's 13 year old body a bitter reminder of what once was. His siblings in their adult bodies a reminder of how things should've been. God,,,,

#and now they're so different #they have so little in common ): #Five came back to a family that he no longer knew and who no longer knew him #they can never go back #Five's lived half a lifetime without them #its never going to be the same #Five's also the only one of them who kept the number name which makes him more of a reminder of the past he's like a relic of a lost time #i'm rewatching s1 rn and oh man #it hurts so bad Five should've grown up with them #ben should've lived #god the tragedy of it all #they were children together </3 #the umbrella academy #tua s1 #tua season 1 #tua #umbrella academy #luther hargreeves #diego hargreeves #allison hargreeves #klaus hargreeves #ben hargreeves #five hargreeves #viktor hargreeves #tua s2 #tua s3 #tua season 2 #tua season 3 #mine #tua meta

[ID: a three color drawing (black, white, and teal) in the style of Seth’s illustrations from the Lemony Snicket series All The Wrong Questions. Five and Viktor (both about 13) are seated at the counter of a diner, talking. Luther (in his 20s), who is a patron seated next to them, looks concerned about what he is overhearing. Grace stands behind the counted holding a coffee pot and gazing into space. A missing poster for Ben is taped to the counter. In the mirror behind the counter, a reflection Diego and Patch (both 15) are visible in a booth. End ID]

i really should leave time between art posts for them to breathe and accumulate their fair share of notes, but also i need something to do while im waiting for my onions to caramelize.

In this installment: Five and Viktor meet over breakfast to discuss business, Luther is a Concerned Citizen, Diego and Patch also meet over breakfast to discuss business but in the background, and Grace is NOT a robot and this diner is NOT fully automated no sir. Also as usual Ben's face provides some ambiance, thank you Ben.

Store Worker: could Five Hargreeves please report to the front office?

Five: Hello, is there a problem?

Store Worker, pointing at Diego & Klaus: I believe they belong to you?

Diego: we got lost

Five: I didn't even bring you here with me-

I do not trust five to live on his own. That man will-- and for a certain, have cabinets FILLED TO THE BRIM with CAFFEINE.

Imagine bro is showing you around and when you ask what's inside anything at all, all he says is "coffee." Over and over again.

One of my favorite things about The Umbrella Academy is Reggie’s disturbingly excellent portrayal as a manipulative parent. He knows every trick in the book and uses them so impeccably well to control his children. 

Take for example, in S2 when he berates Diego about having a hero complex, which effectively reduces Diego into a stuttering little boy. Nobody dares to stand up to Reggie as he (in that moment, at least) re-establishes his place as the ultimate authority figure in their lives. 

In S3, he twists the knife in Five’s old wound by saying, “you ruined your life once before by not listening to me. Are you prepared to do that again?” A classic “I’m your parent so I know what’s best for you” move. 

In contrast, he also tries to get on their good side by using flattery, acknowledging them as his children, and calling them by their ‘human’ names. 

At Luther and Sloane's wedding, he packages himself as a pitiful old man who only wants to repair his relationship with his estranged children. The siblings try to stand their ground, but Reggie catches them off guard when he admits his faults, praises, and validates them. Saying Sloane has always been exceptionally bright, Diego would have made a superb father, and later on, asking Luther for forgiveness for everything he’d put him through (I applaud Luther for his “I lived my whole life for you” speech. No matter how many times I watch it, it still breaks me when Luther gives in after Reggie asks, “will you forgive me, son?”) 

Reggie's cruelest act so far is helping Klaus master his near-immortality and confront his fears while creating a father-son bond with him. And because Klaus has been longing for this his entire life, Reggie easily wins him over. He has Klaus wholeheartedly campaigning for his Hotel Oblivion plan— running around, convincing his siblings that he is not the emotionally abusive father who raised them— only to tell him he’s more trouble than he’s worth before leaving him to be consumed by the Kugelblitz. 

Reggie perfectly exhibits the traits of a manipulative parent. He uses his children’s deep-seated need for approval and affection or strikes them where it hurts the most to make them do his bidding.  

I’m sure there are more instances that I missed. These are just the glaring examples I can’t stop thinking about. Feel free to add your thoughts!

Alicent loves her children the most please stop

I know this discourse is old and tired but I just scrolled past a very bad take and I can’t help myself. 

Alicent Hightower does not hate her children! She does not love her children less than Rhaenyra! It is not “misogynistic” (I need people to stop using this word, for the love of god) to recognize that Alicent loves her children!!

Alicent wasn’t upset with Rhaenyra because of what she did with Daemon at a brothel. She was upset because: 

Rhaenyra betrayed her trust and played her. 

Rhaenyra lied over her mother’s grave. We know Alicent misses her mother. Her tie to religion isn’t to “repent” (for you know, being manipulated into attacking the woman who blamed her 10 year old son after he was mutilated, who called for him to be tortured, who stood there and goaded Viserys into yelling at Aegon, to snap at Alicent, to publicly humiliate and threaten them? Sure, okay, writers 😒.) She prays at the Sept because she feels closer to her mother there, because she’s from Oldtown, home to the Citadel. Because she needs a higher power to lean on and gain strength from. Because she’s a lady, product of her society and no, religion isn’t always a chain for women.

We’ve seen Alicent defend Rhaenyra’s claim - in front of the ladies during the hunt, in front of Viserys when he doubted her, and to Otto. Only for Rhaenyra to throw caution to the wind and put her reputation as a princess and heir in question. Alicent now looks stupid, especially if you consider that Alicent had confessed to Rhaenyra that she feels lonely before she lied to her. 

If Rhaenyra can lie over her mother’s grave, lie to her face repeatedly, disregard her feelings, her loneliness, what else is she capable of? 

That’s why Alicent “turns” on Rhaenyra. No shade to the shippers, but sometimes y’all go to far. Not that it’s entirely on the audience, the writers and yes, even the actors feed into this. What’s actually “misogynistic” is how the narrative punishes the child bride for her own abuse.

Alicent isn’t just a character made up of her relationships. She can have a rich interior that doesn’t revolve around Rhaenyra.

#alicent hightower #hotd #i saw some tags once that said nobody actually thinks alicent is a lesbian #only when she’s paired with rhaneyra and yeah I agree #its been years since a fandom made me turn on a ship but Rhaenicent made it on the list #I’m so tired of people doubting mothers because they’re not “perfect” #same thing happened to allison hargreeves #Sorry traumatized mothers have difficult relationships with their children #That doesn’t mean they love them less #Same with Shauna from Yellowjackets. She says she doesn’t like her daughter

Has anyone thought about that Klaus’ cult was still right about the Apocalypse in 2019?

Like the moment the Kugelblitz started nerfing people, they must have thought it was the rapture or something.

I need to know their reactions.

I have to ask how did Five (and I’m assuming the rest of the hargreeves) know about the 43 babies born with powers

How did Reggie even tell them like lmao guess what there’s 36 more like you in the world wait did he tell the kids???

I was always confused by the cuz surely with powers like Ben/the horror it would’ve made the news or something right? Or seeing the Umbrella Academy on the TV (this also applies to Sparrow timeline) wouldn’t the 36 children be like hey they’re like me wth

Even Lila I think about cuz she got picked up by the commission (did the handler know about her power??) and by that logic why not just pick up the other 35 to superpower them commission entirely???
