Klaus: Hell yeah Im catholic, Ive been addicted to cats my whole life
So, now that it's over, and I've given everybody enough time to watch all the seasons:
I'm breaking my silence on the numbering system.
If you haven't memorized them,
Number One: Luther Hargreeves
Number Two: Diego Hargreeves
Number Three: Allison Hargreeves
Number Four: Klaus Hargreeves
Number Five
Number Six: Ben Hargreeves
Number Seven: Viktor Hargreeves
Now, since we figured out these numbers, the fandom has been all,
"Oh it's in order of powers! Luther has (or had, as a kid) the best powers! And Viktor is seven because he 'had none'."
"Oh but that doesn't make sense! Ben's power is so much cooler and more lethal than Luther's!"
Bullshit. I'm breaking my silence.
Yes, fandom, you were on the right track.. ish.
These numbers were assigned based on how easy to manipulate each sibling was. These numbers were based on how terrifying, or hilarious, Reginald Hargreeves found each sibling.
Luther was stupid, he was easily toyed with and he would listen to everything his dad said. He was number one because Reginald could do whatever he wanted with him and wasn't at risk of getting attacked or even questioned. Reginald could poke, pry, test, train, whatever he wanted with Luther easily. That's what made him number one.
Viktor, on the other hand, was disobedient. He didn't listen, he wasn't easily manipulated, he killed all the nanny's, he terrified Reginald. Hence, the last thing he could possibly think to do-- because he is a maniac control freak-- was to put a stop to it. He couldn't lose! He has to make Viktor think he's nothing.
You can figure the rest out.

(Edit: Allison being told to betray her sister and DOING SO!! Five jumping despite Reginald's permission!! Ben not wanting to go on missions!! Come on.)
Klaus really has a high emotional intelligence. He is described as "oddly perceptive", picking up on things regarding others that no one else does in the book "Extra Ordinary". He sees when others are excluded. When people act shitty but are actually desperately lonely. And he tries to make them feel better!
But that also means that he realized very early on that they weren't truly loved.
"He hated children too and he had plenty of us." That statement becomes extremely bitter and sad when Reginald does say "I have a deep dislike of children. I do not have them, nor do I intend to have them" in the 60s when they time travelled in season 2.
not even a joke
Brisket Five>>>>>>>Season 4 Five
THIS.
Unironically, the funniest part of tuas4 is that a version of five decided to make that cafe in the subway station and everything that's served there is bad. Five chose that menu knowing what he, and other fives, like and made the active choice to make the coffee taste bad and the food incorrect.
its unreal how all of my favorite characters have exactly the same traits and hobbies and diagnoses as me
Thinking about this shot from S1 again…
I’ve seen multiple people refer to it as the ‘dollhouse shot’ and I think that perfectly describes it.
The way they were used and puppeteered in their childhoods by Reggie to be picture perfect. They were manipulated and exploited for years, treated like toys to do whatever you wish with.
But as ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ plays in the background, it emphasises their new independence. It really pushes how they’re free from the over-looming control of Reggie and the manipulation they had faced is finally over.
They are finally free.
i accept this as canon
I JUST THOUGHT OF A TUA THEORY!!
what if season 4 five wasn't actually five, HEAR ME OUT!!! WHAT IF WHEN FIVE AND LILA WERE IN TRAIN AT ONE POINT LILA LOST FIVE IN ONE OF THE TIME LINES. AND WHILE FIVE WAS LOST HE GOT ATTACKED/KILLED BY ANOTHER FIVE THAT TOOK ACTUAL FIVES PLACE??? SO SEASON 4'S FIVE WASN'T ACTUALLY FIVE?!!!!!
(sorry for the low-key yap)
lmfaooooo
diego said five had that cia job for years. are you telling me little 13 year old five walked into the cia building with no resume or anything and they just gave him that job??? with no birth certificate or anything cause he just spawned in that new timeline??? goals honestly i need his mindset
Was anyone else weirded out by the trafficking side plot with Klaus?? It made me so uncomfortable, and I felt horrible for Klaus. While I always love Klaus's screen time WHAT did that add to the plot?? It was just creepy and unnecessary and played off as a JOKE.
Klaus knows how important last words can be. Letting Diego know he's on an Antonino Banderas level was lovely.
they mean so much to me
The Umbrella Academy Season 4 (Deleted Scene)
stop it.
my card declined in therapy so they reminded me that delores probably has qualities of each of five’s siblings because he imagined her entire personality out of desperation for human contact and all he ever knew before he disappeared was the academy
delores has luther’s loyalty. she absolutely has diego’s stubbornness. she’s definitely got allison’s determination and klaus’ spontaneity. she has ben’s kind-heartedness and viktor’s passion.
i can’t imagine seeing each of his siblings again and being reminded of the only soul he had through the hardest part of his life in each and every way they act.
never forget what they took from us
i don’t think my bro gave a fuck
I like that despite being a child abuser, child exploiter, and an emotionally absent father, Reginald draws the line at transphobia.
ben and diego LMFAOAOA
truly iconic family photo tbh
real shit
netflix if i wanted to see a failing marriage i would've gone downstairs for family dinner
season one klaus was peak klaus i swear
Mourning the decuntification of Klaus Hargreeves
Thank god Dave is dead because if he wasn’t they’d probably have him kissing fucking Diego or some shit at this point
i’m telling you, season four five is NOT five
Also did the show just like forget that when Five saw Diego dead, he kept trying to wake him up in the apocalypse. Did they forget that he sat near his brother’s corpse completely distraught and Diego was the only person that Five actually shook? Five would never do this shit to him man
steve blackman when i catch you..
Listen, the most heartbreaking part of all this, for me, is that David Castañeda basically begged the showrunners not to do the story line and they did it anyway.
REAL REAL REAL
Season one Five Hargreeves should've managed to shoot season four Five Hargreeves in the head when he got out of the subway into the season one apocalypse. He could've saved us from...That. That's all I'm gonna say.
ugh
I thought that I couldn't hate S4 more but then I remembered that...
Five and Diego die without reconciliation and hating each other
Klaus dies without knowing how the Original Ben died
Diego dies without knowing if Lila fell in love with Five or not because she never answered the question
Lila died after not seeing her kids for nearly 7 years
Luther died without finding Sloane, the only person he was in love with
Allison died leaving behind Claire, the one person she sacrificed everything for
Ben died as a monster without his consciousness, unable to say goodbye to his siblings
But most of all, they all died to become flowers meanwhile the fucking Handler had a happy ending🤡
literally??
Genuinely why would Lila not be happy in a relationship with Diego???
THAT MAN WANTED TO BE A HERO, HE WANTED TO BE NUMBER ONE, HE WAS A FUCKING VIGILANTE FOR FUCKS SAKE HE KNEW THAT NORMAL LIFE SUCKED AND WANTED TO DO MORE!!!
AND YOURE TELLING ME LILA DIDNT THINK TO TALK WITH HIM ABOUT THAT SHIT?????? THAT MAN WOULD HAVE SAID ‘YES MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE GO WRECK HAVOC ILL PICK UP THE KIDS TODAY AND DONT FORGET NEXT WEEKEND ITS MY TURN TO GO PUNCH SOME PEOPLE’
DIEGO WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD “BOOKCLUB” AND HAVE SUPPORTED IT 110%
I’ll concede that the final season of Umbrella Academy wasn’t that good, but one of my favorite throwaway bits is that Viktor has been dumped by every girl in his town but clearly not because he’s trans, he’s just bad at dating
