Has anybody else ever wondered WHERE the Hargreeves siblings keep getting fresh outfits from??

Season 1 was fine, they had their own clothes because they were home in their timeline. Season 2.... I'll allow it, obviously some of them lived there for years so they had the time to go shopping. BUT SEASON 3?? They don't actually show us where they got the clothes from and maybe it's possible that somewhere in all the chaos they spared a few minutes to shop but it's so much more amusing to think of other alternatives that definitely were much harder and time consuming. Like all I see is Luther custom ordering clothes that'll fit him (maybe making his own clothes). Diego and Lila shoplifting and taking Stan with them. Allison breaking into Patrick's house and when she doesn't find Claire, raids Patrick's wife's closet instead. Klaus walking into a thrift store, "trying on" the clothes and just walking out without paying. Five holding a little old man at gunpoint and forcing him to give up his clothes. Viktor sneaking into Sparrow Academy and looking through Ben's stuff for anything that might fit him.

Ranking The Umbrella Academy Seasons

1. Season 2- The plot was well executed, they nailed the tone, and everything great about this show from the beginning was improved upon. Namely, all of the characters were fantastic with great plotlines (several of whom were improvements from Season 1), the family dynamic was better, the romance was better, and they nailed the quirkiness of the show. Overall it was just peak Umbrella Academy.

2. Season 1- If you ask me, this was a great introduction to the series! I think the characters became a lot more enjoyable after this season (and their family dynamic became a little more both sweet and entertaining). The plot was also a little slow. That being said, there are several elements to Season 1 that I love and that aren’t present in the other two (namely Hazel and Cha-Cha, a few of the plotlines, and a slightly darker feel compared to the following Seasons). In the end it will always hold a special place in my heart.

3. Season 3- Honestly, I really enjoyed this season, it just wasn’t nearly as good as the other two. The plot was overstuffed, the pacing was a bit weird (filler episodes), some of the storylines weren’t as well thought out or fully realized and often quickly abandoned after being ‘solved’ or fixed or whatever. However, the family dynamic and the heart of the show remained from Season Two, ensuring that it was still a whole lot of fun (good not great). I also feel like I should add that a few of the special effects were noticeably subpar, and some of the dialogue was cornier than the first two seasons (although i appreciate the addition of heightened swearing). Overall it just didn’t flow as naturally.

Ultimately I still love this show, and I really hope Season 4 can regain it’s footing following some of the disappointments of Season 3!

If (WHEN because if it doesn't I will cry) the Umbrella Academy gets a season 4 I hope theres a scene where they all get their powers back BUT they all get the wrong power. Imagine it!!! Klause teleporting, Five Rumoring people, and Luther seeing ghost (or any other combination). It would be chaotic and I would love it!!!

If TUA S1 and 3 take place during 2019 does that mean when the show is over they have to deal with lockdown

No one talks about how Diego accepts and frequently ignores any amount of mistreatment by his romantic interests and what that has to say about how he believes any amount of pain is okay as long he gets that sliver of love and validation that comes from someone willingly being around him (unlike family).

We see Patch say some pretty cruel things to him and it is heavily implied they had a toxic, bumpy relationship. Yet he clearly desperately still wants that relationship to work, clearly still has feelings for her no matter how long (unclear) it's been since they broke up. She's the person he goes to after his mom dies. And that sliver of compassion she gives him, that glimmer of voluntary care is all he needs to still love her, even though they can't work.

Then with Lila, she is frequently mean to him, even after they're together. Hell, though it's playes for laughs, she even hits him. Quite a lot. But even when he is truly, deeply hurt by her betrayal and occasional cruelty, he says I love you, please stay with me, I can accept you as you are and I want you to be happy. I want you to be free and be loved. Why? Because she saved him. She likes him. She opened up to him.

I could go on forever, but in short, the bar is in Hell for Diego. If someone gets close enough to actually LIKE him? To choose to be around him? He will DIE for them. He will dedicate his life to loving that person. And that HURTS. MY. FEELINGS.

(Also, just for the record this is in no way bashing Patch or Lila. I love them both as characters and I think Patch was right to separate from Diego. Plus Lila has undergone a lot of growth and is of course very similar to Diego. Nonetheless I think he could aim for better treatment in his relationships considering all he gives. He is bagging straight 10s though.)

My Brother is on Season 1 of The Umbrella Academy and he thinks that Klaus and Ben died together but Klaus came back which is why Ben’s so attached to Klaus.

Not finished with it, but if Klaus could die permanently and stay in the afterlife, I like to think that Rachel would tease him by getting him to explain awkward/embarrassing/overtly sexual things and then admit that she knows what he’s talking about.

“What is… boofing?”

“MOM. NO.”

The Kugelblitz makes no sense

aka, Explaining how the Grandfather Paradox should have worked, and the ways it doesn't.

This is the tl;dr, for a full explanation, it's under the cut:

Now, I will try to keep things clear cut and explain anything that is less than, as well as keeping a somewhat intriguing writing style to attempt to keep you engaged. I will waffle on. You'll get used to it. And now, to start talking about the thing you actually want to hear:

Now you're probably looking here because you looked at my pin board and thought one of several things:

- Is this man insane?

- How long did that take you wtf??

- Can you explain that?

And to that, I can firmly answer two. It took me 4 hours with soft-tissue damage and yes I can explain it. As for the first question, I will leave you to decide.

As I hope you know, the Grandfather Paradox is one of the main plot themes in series 3. However, the explanation of it makes absolutely, completely and utterly, no sense. If you're a casual viewer, you probably haven't even thought twice about it, but if you're anything like me, and you sit and think about the timeline for hours at a time, and spend a healthy amount of time thinking about the solution of the paradox's solution, the Kugelblitz, I'm sorry to say, is just wrong.

So what does this mean in terms of TUA?

To start off, I will give you, directly the solution to the Grandfather Paradox:

"At the time that movie was made in 1985, the 'parallel world' explanation of the grandfather paradox was merely a philosophical conjecture. In 1991, however, it was put on firmer ground by the physicist David Deutsch. Deutsch showed that, while parallel timelines are normally incapable of interacting with each other, the situation changes in the vicinity of a closed time-like curve (CTC), when a wormhole curves back on itself. Here, just as the sci-fi writers imagined, the different timelines are able to cross over — so that when a CTC loops back into the past, it's the past of a different timeline. If that's proven, then you really could kill an infant grandparent without paradoxically eliminating yourself in the process. In that case, your grandfather would never have existed only in one parallel world. And you, the grandfather-killer, would only have existed in the other."

Well, it means that there is 2 (and a bit) timelines, to which I have affectionately nicknamed the Umbrella timeline (season 1) and the Sparrow timeline (season 2 and 3). We know the Sparrow timeline is separate to the Umbrella timeline because it it mentioned a few times through series 3 that it is a different one.

You see, I firmly believe that when the Umbrellas time travelled back to Dallas in the 1960s and onwards, they managed to cause the CTC as described above, and go back in time into the Sparrow timeline.

This is where the show would believe that the actual grandfather paradox happened when Harlan started killing the mothers of the other 27 children before the time where the sparrows and the other 9 kids were born. This would imply that the Umbrellas went back in time to the Umbrella timeline, and Harlan still got the powers but didn't accidentally kill the mothers. This doesn't work at all.

We know that The Kennedy Six doesn't exist in anything but the Sparrow timeline, and in the Umbrella timeline, it is (largely) history as we know it. This is the problem. If the Grandfather Paradox doesn't start before Haran gets his powers, that means the Kennedy Six would have to exist also in the Umbrella timeline, which they don't, which causes all sorts of problems.

And here's where I propose a solution.

The Sparrow timeline splits off on February 11th 1960, aka the day Klaus and umbrella!Ben arrive in Dallas, due to this being the first instance of them travelling back in time to this separate timeline as the Grandfather Paradox's solution would suggest. The Sparrow timeline stems off to contain the changed history of the Umbrella timeline, and it also allows the Umbrellas to exist in the Sparrow timeline, where they were never born in the first place.

The one main question you may have now is, well if all of this is the case, then why didn't the Kugelblitz form in Dallas? Well I have an explanation for you on that too. To put it simply, there was already an apocalypse coming in Dallas, and there was no need for the Kugelblitz so come in and destroy the world for it. And then, once the Umbrellas left Dallas, nothing was in that timeline to disrupt the flow of it (I'll explain Harlan in a moment) for the next 56 years, so the Kugelblitz wouldn't need to form due to the peace of space time.

Harlan is okay to exist the way he does because, while he is an anomaly compared to the Umbrella timeline, he works in the Sparrow timeline because that's how their history flows.

So, the disrupt in space time and the trigger of the Kugelblitz stems from the Umbrellas going into the Sparrow timeline, where they don't exist. This is where the Kugelblitz becomes the problem child, because to my understanding of the Grandfather Paradox, because the Umbrellas exist in the Umbrella timeline leading to them having a stable form of existence, just elsewhere, they should be fine to be in the Sparrow timeline and co-exist with the Sparrows.

So yes, that is my problem with the Kugelblitz, sorry for ruining your fun with the show, trust me, it frustrates me too, but I genuinely don't understand how the Grandfather paradox can cause the Kugelblitz when it's largely solved itself.

To that I pose the question to the rest of you tua!Tumblr, what the hell do you think happened?

(I am also ignoring the new new timeline from the end of season 3 until season 4 gives us more content to work with because I don't even want to begin thinking about that one.)

Ok so Klaus being dead when five travels to the apocalypse. All of us have been like but he’s immortal??? And I just finished S1E2 where it shows his “body” so here’s my observations.

He’s on top of all the rubble, not buried by anything but is covered with dust. For that to make sense he would’ve needed to fall to his death but there was no blood, no puncture, he looks relatively unharmed. Tbh it looks like he went and laid out on the rubble.

And I think that’s what he did. If he was to reanimate just to see everyone dead, it makes sense for him to you know just give up. Go to sleep. He would be starving and dying of thirst, when your body is dying you sleep a lot longer. And tbh it would make sense if he just yk died again. A cycle of dying, waking back up to the apocalypse and then just going back to sleep until you die again because what else are you gonna do? He wasn’t confused like Five was, he knew how this all happened.

Another thing is his reanimation time, we know it can take hours, especially since his powers aren’t trained. And we know he can take longer to reanimate if he doesn’t try to leave the afterlife like we saw with Luther. If all his siblings are dead and he’s completely unaware of his immortality I’m sure he’s not exactly exploring and running into god like he does the other times. Hell he could’ve started searching for Dave or trying to be with his siblings but being forced back to life after a while because that’s his curse (in the comics at least).

Five also only glimpsed at Klaus’ body before running away, he didn’t check if Klaus was alive because he figured he was dead like the others (who looked quite dead). 13 year old five completely alone wouldn’t be the most reliable observer to his dead brother.

Anyway moral of the story/theory is that I feel like there’s a lot of good explanations that they can use for Klaus and the apocalypse, I just really hope they do explain it because it’s pretty important to the story.

Finally finished watching Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy and holy hell I need season 4 now. Like right forking now! I need answers!! Also, i forking called it on Allison having a mental break down. I don’t feel her arc or her character was ooc at all. You saw hints of her anger throughout season 2 and losing her daughter and her husband basically broke her and made her just not care anymore. Do i agree with some of the choices that she made? No, but at the same time people go through trauma differently, and people handle that trauma differently. So, i totally get it. I mean, she even tried to rumor herself, so I feel for her; i genuinely do. The only main issue i really had with Allison (similar to my only issue with Ben last season as well as Klaus last season) was the consent issue once again (Ben for possessing Klaus without permission and Klaus for not telling the family that Ben was there to begin with). But it also put a lot of things into perspective for me with Allison. I think i was in denial when i heard that audio montage in season 1 with her rumor trick. I think I always had a feeling that it wasn’t Patrick that she had rumored into loving her, but Luther, and again i was just in denial (keep in mind that i’ve never read the comics, so i only know what i’ve seen off of here and what i’ve read on Wiki), and after seeing what she did to Luther in that scene, it made that theory all the more believable. (Side note, it was sooooo forking great to see Ray again this season. I still wish Raymond, Harlan and Sissy could have joined the others going into the future, but alas it was not meant to be).  Also, can i just say forking finally with Klaus? I’m sooooooo glad he had more of a purpose this season, like i’m still forking pissed off that they gave us this tease of Klaus’ hidden badassery in the beginning of season 2 and then we saw absolutely nothing with him and his powers after that. So, i’m really, REALLY glad they touched upon all of this in this season. Makes me very happy.  Also, I loved Sloan and Luther, Luther deserves to find and have happiness just as much as the rest of his family and they were puppy love adorable to me. I hope he finds her in season 4. I really, truly do.  Also, good to know good old Reginald traumatized 14 children just to get his wife back.  A-hole... (but I’m also intrigued to see where that storyline is gonna go now in season 4, so again, it me, i’m the clown).   I know i have more thoughts on season 3, but i can’t seem to articulate them into actual words right now. However my overall rating for this season would have to be a 7/10. I still have soooo many questions, like with Five and older Five, and i hope they answer them in season 4 since it’s the last season--but i ain’t holding my breath over it either....

What was the awful turn TUA had in its second season, if you don't mind me asking?

The amnesia plot was an extremely contrived device to strip the show of the obligation to deal with the consequences of the S1 finale. Well, poor Viktor doesn't even remember destroying the world and trying to kill the rest of the siblings, he's just a melancholic nanny bonding with a child and having a soft romance with his poor mom, what can we do??

They even dumbed down and tweaked the personalities of Luther and Diego, the two siblings who would've naturally been angriest/more reactive about it (and two of the most interesting characters in the show until that point, IMO), just to ensure everything went smoothly and there was no more conflict between Viktor vs. the others, WHICH IS SUCH A COWARDLY CHOICE AND OBJECTIVELY BAD WRITING, SNS.

The tonal shift and haha ~*silly humour*~ did the rest to kill my curiosity for the 'verse after season 1. As of now I'm simply in mercenary mode with Allison (aka she's the best and my fave and I want her to win at everyone else's expense 💖), with a side of "wow, Lilah is SO cool 🥰".

I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but I just realized that in season three of the Umbrella Academy we see that the Umbrella Academy (or at least Ben and Diego) can speak the native languages from the places they were born. Well if we go back to season 2 there is a scene were that guy at the diner ask Allison if she can read and Allison responds "Seven languages". So that potentially means that Reginald taught all of them the same seven languages meaning they probably all knew what Ben and Diego were saying when they were arguing in that one scene.

(This is an irrelevant stupid thing I noticed and has nothing to do with the plot I just wanted to talk about it. Might be wrong but this just popped into my head)
