my favorite thing about klaus is how inadvertently useful he is. he’s not even trying to help out or be a team player, yet he ends up being the 2nd most productive sibling in getting shit done. luther and diego run around acting like headless chickens constantly, and klaus just walks on screen looking like he just came back from hell (which isn’t far off from the truth) like “hey, here’s an extremely vital piece of information you guys have spent the past 3 episodes looking for—i’m gonna get wasted now.”
‘if the umbrella academy had mobile phones each season would be a single episode’
luther fell for a 419 scam, five is a boomer, klaus would charge his to an absolute maximum of 13% and diego would instantly be addicted to candy crush, the only thing on that group chat would be allison’s wordle scores
Thinking about how so much crazy shit happened this season that no one is even talking about klaus making an enemy of the entire amish community and having to run for his life from them
Diego throwing knives round corners is all well and good but for once I’d like him to throw something completely unhinged
For example one Hargreeves family Christmas Luther winds him up so much Diego cracks and just lobs the entire Christmas tree at him. It chases him through the Academy’s halls dropping baubles and tinsel in its wake
Imagine Reg sitting in his study and suddenly a whole ass tree flys by and hes just like “fascinating” and jots it down

this is a remake of a gifspam about a year old, it's under the cut along with some notes about Mirage's evolution!!
Mirage Mirage Mirage... when I first created her, I simply wanted a self-insert oc to ship with Five bc I am In Love with the grumpy old man. As I delved deeper into her relationship with Five though, I realized that I had to give Mirage her own problems and challenges, she couldn't just be Five's lover because in my interpretation of his character, Five isn't the kind of person to just fall in love with a pretty sassy girl, he has to be able to connect with the person, and he has to have a love interest that's competent in their own way, being able to stand up on their own two feet without Five coddling their every move. The first-ever ideas for Mirage were basically just "Kaz Brekker but make her do government-ish stuff, assassin, targeted by the Handler and nearly gets killed by her, aversion to touch" Absolutely no notes on her relationship with the other two kids that were adopted by AJ -- Emmy and Telepath -- and an entire google doc dedicated to her and Five oneshots
yeah, I was whipped af lol
but after some time, in which I poked around in other fandoms and got "better" at creating backstories and motivation, I circled back to Mirage. I started thinking about what could've turned someone who was groomed to be AJ's successor, someone who was only taught the basics of fighting before the Handler came, into an assassin who bided her time until she could finally regain control of the Commission? I realized something that was very much inspired by a certain Marvel show that someone might have heard me complaining that I neglected the plot bunny I made for it (I swear I'll do it next year) was literally perfect for Mirage, it's a play on her name and power, and it fills in all the plot holes I ignored in the first few drafts of her story. So yeah, that's basically the story of Mirage's evolution, along with her faceclaim change due to me admitting that pairing someone in their late twenties with a teenager is just... weird and uncomfortable to me lol; Mirage is one of the first ocs I ever introduced on here, and she's also one of my most constant brainworms, like literally I can talk about her any time and place because there's so much to share about her asldaksda

Have you heard yet that Aidan made up the “no twine, no birth mother!” Line himself?
YES I DID!!! I was so happy when I found out because it’s now one of my favorite lines of the season 😭 And I’ve been meaning to post about it but I forgot, thank you!!
All my shows are on hiatus except Riverdale 😩 I need recommendations. Preferably something easy to binge so less than 3 seasons.
I have shows I still need to watch but I don't want to. And my rewatch list is currently at 5 shows so I need new sh*t. I highly doubt anyone is going to see this but just in case, I tagged all the shows I've already watched. I'm open to anything truly, if you can sell it well enough I will watch it.
in a no powers au, several years prior to lila & diego meeting, allison & lila were doing shooting for the same mini series and the two had a brief fling
