In a million different timelines Lila Pitts and Diego Hargreeves never meet.

In one, however, they meet in a mental hospital in Dallas, Texas in 1963, one of them stranded, the other a spy, and they fall in love not so much on sight, but fall in love they do.

In another universe, Lila is hurt and has no place to go other than her sort of nemesis, Diego Hargreeves.

To both their surprise, he doesn’t turn her away.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Umbrella Academy (TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Diego Hargreeves/Lila Pitts Characters: Diego Hargreeves, Lila Pitts Additional Tags: April Fools’ Day, Prompt Fill, Established Relationship, Domestic Fluff Summary:

Diego is less than enthusiastic about being Lila and Anita’s April fools victim.

Especially when Lila seemingly takes things too far.

#aw i had totally forgotten about the seasonality of this fic #thanks for the reminder pepper! 😘

Fanfic tiktok is wild... I see so many people saying shit like "I could never read anything below 60k!!", or "What story can you even tell in under 5k words?" or "A oneshot below 10k isn't even a story!" or "I always filter completed fics by 100k< only!"

And I'm like...

A) which fandoms are you reading fics for where you have this kind of offerings on the regular?

B) have you heard of short stories? If you truly think every story NEEDS to be longform to connect with people, I sincerely feel sorry for you.

C) Average novel length is between 50k to 100k. I'm sorry, but CONSISTENTLY demanding fic writers to push out fics of that length is insane. Just think about it: YOU DEMAND AUTHORS TO PUT OUT FICS THAT COMPARE TO COMMERCIAL NOVELS IN LENGTH (AND QUALITY) AS A BASELINE.

Yall are wilding.

AO3 Comments are SO SO SOOOOOOO important because you can only leave Kudos ONCE. You add to the hit count ONCE (every 24 hours).

So whenever someone updates their fic, the ONLY way an author knows who their regular readers are is if they comment on each chapter. And we WANT to know who's still reading.

Believe it or not, some of us think about the name that pops up constantly in the comments and go "omg I can't wait to see what they think of THIS SPECIFIC SCENE cuz I KNOW they'll say something about it!!!"

TUA has ruined me for normal reactions. There's an ad on local radio for some dating site, and every time I hear it, it goes something like this:

Radio: Somewhere out there is someone who thinks JUST LIKE YOU!

Radio: With [OUR DATING SITE], you can find that person!

Me: And kill them.

#i heard a similar ad today incidentally that just randomly shot on scorpios #which i take personally #so imma fo kill whoever wrote the ad

Secret to getting to know other fans on tumblr is reblogging. This sounds like a trap to get you guys to reblog art and fics and gifs which yes that’s an added benefit but also the way you get a feel of followers or mutuals is the little comments in the tags of a post like subtle little whispers and you start to recognise names like oh that’s the one who’s always nice to artists or that’s the funny one or maybe they have a funny queue pun tag or maybe there can be a little prev tags interaction like that’s how you start creating your own little likeminded souls club here. Also you get to put pretty art and fics and gifs on your blog

Ranking the Hargreeves based on how strong I think they’ll be without powers:

1. Five - I mean, he’s a highly trained assassin and has experienced the most out of the siblings

2. Luther - He’s pretty experienced in fighting and whatnot

3. Diego - Same thing as Luther

4. Allison - She seemed pretty aggressive in season 3 😟

5. Klaus - He definitely doesn’t seem aggressive or violent but would fight good if he had to

6. Ben - He’s too cutie patootie 🥺

7. Viktor - I’m only saying this because he wasn’t trained like the others were, I think he’d be higher if he was trained

#i think i might move allison a little higher (this woman has rage) but other than that i completely agree with the second list

What is he thinking here? Is he stuck in memory, reliving the moment he found Eudora’s body, over and over? Is he feeling guilty, remembering how he’d urged her repeatedly to take risks, fight the bad guys, no rules, no backup? Is he thinking how he always tries to protect the people he loves, but when one of them most needed him, he was absent?

Or is he not letting himself think about his emotions at all - trying instead to focus on the crime, on trying to solve it, on what Five is up to, on anything, anything but Eudora’s death?

Those twitching hands, the readiness of his stance, that focus - he wants to get up and do something, punch someone, hunt down the ones responsible…his friends or siblings would probably tell him to cool off, there’s nothing he can do right now - but he can’t do that, he’s waiting for a clue, an idea, a next step - or the one moment of inattention that means he can escape.

He’s probably been put in time out all his life, and it has never, ever worked. He doesn’t understand why people always call him a hothead! They tell him to SIT and THINK - well he’s SAT and he’s THANK, and now he wants to be DOING, to put thought into action, before he starts spiralling, thinking about all the stuff he doesn’t want to think about...

#yes! i forgot to mention the ears in our conversation XD #this headspace explains why and how he goes off the rails in s2 like that #he goes into action overdrive #better than stopping and thinking because his feelings might manage to catch up to him #diego my beloved
