The Umbrella Academy - Blog Posts

anyway these are my favorite reviews so far

Klaus telling Diego he "barely got out with his life" when Hazel and Cha-Cha tortured him back in S1 but now we know he probably actually did die a couple of times in the process and just CAME BACK TO LIFE WITHOUT EVEN REALISING ?? Klaus ?? 😭😭

Have you ever felt like there's something you're supposed to be doing, something important, but no one's telling you what it is, and you're scared that youre gonna miss out or... or.. mess it up because you're always screwin' things up, and you're really fuckin tired of it!

Klaus Hargreeves

ive never felt a monologue so closely in my entire life

Tua s3 spoilers 🚨!!

So mad at the writers for not bringing in Dave this season. There were so many opportunities where they could've brought him back, even if it was when Klaus was in the afterlife/void. I don't know why they completely ignore this ship, but still gave other characters moments with their past love interest or even brought them back at the end. Overall I loved Klaus storyline this season, but the absence of Dave left a bitter taste and anger towards the writers.

I know that people have already been saying that Viktor’s coming out felt rushed and I know they might’ve done more with that if they hadn’t already had much of the scripts written by the time Elliot came out, but!

As a trans guy myself there’s something really nice about seeing a character tell family he’s trans and having them just be like okay cool and move on. The way that I have constantly had to explain myself to people in my life and constantly have seen trans people in media have to explain themselves is so exhausting.

So, sure, I can absolutely understand people feeling like it was kind of flat. But it’s also nice to have a trans character just get to *be*.

I haven't seen a warning for it going around so TUA S3 EP10, a warning for trypophobia at about the 32:30 mark and a quicker moment at about 34:20

May I present you: two very cursed screenshots of dear old five I've managed to acquire

The mothers & their character

Musing on what we get to see of the Umbrella mothers, I have some thoughts. I wonder if the mothers were shown as deliberate reflections of their children?

Luther’s Mother. A confident business lady, giving or about to give a presentation. She shows leadership, confidence (that dress folks, YES), poise. Professional strength and intelligence. All things that Luther has aspired for.

Diego’s Mum. Shown in the home, preparing a meal. A home maker, caring, love language presumably acts of service. A reflection on how Diego always seems to have wanted to be a real family, with real connnections and care. His closeness with Mom/Grace. Also, knife skills.

Allison’s Mother - a teacher. And if my memory serves me, teaching geography/geology with a diagram of the earth’s layers on the chalkboard. A nurturer who works with youths/children, and who has the power to inspire and change lives with her words.

Klaus’ Mother - Amish. The simple, self-sufficient and religious life doesn’t seem a good fit at first glance, but when you look a little deeper I think there’s some parallels. Religion/Spirituality/Mediumship/literal crossing to the other side are all linked beneath the surface. And the self sufficient life style - Klaus has never really gone without. Whatever he has thought he needed or wanted (materialistically) he has been able to get, one way or another. He’s adaptable, a charmer, he always lands on his feet.

Five’s mother, the butcher. A professional who can get the job done, isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, but can work with precision. Ability to separate emotions from the job at hand. Also, excellent blade skills and good understanding of anatomy. A good parallel to Five’s ruthless fighting style and the professional pride he took in his assassination work.

Ben’s schoolgirl mom. Young, really starting to explore life, with years and years ahead of her. Too young to be thrust into motherhood, such a momentous change, regardless of the instantaneous nature of it. A reflection or mirror to her son, who was beginning to explore life outside of the academy and died too young.

Viktor’s mother. The aspiring olympic swimmer who wanted to rise above ordinary and compete with the extraordinary - something Viktor longed for for most of his life and formed a huge part of the S1 arc, and really still influences Viktor even in S3.

i’m not going to get into it fully right now but what the umbrella academy writers did this season to allison has fucking pissed me off. immensely. her being a villain? FINE! her getting angry at all she’s lost and the racism she’s had to face is perfectly valid. but this?? what she was going to do to luther? seriously? not only was it triggering it felt targeted. let me ask one question to the writers. why did cha cha, marcus, fei, and allison get these stories? these endings? these arcs?

I knew that the racism would start spewing when Allison started all of those horrible actions and it honestly made me feel uncomfortable because I knew it would happen. People love to cling onto the stereotype that Black people are aggressive, but I also feel that if Allison wasn't so aggressive then she would have been stereotyped as the "kind, motherly" type when that is a stereotype portrayed on Black women. I honestly don't know how she could have reacted that wouldn't have led to people putting a racist stereotype. I want to add that it shouldn't be onto Black people to make sure these stereotypes don't exist and that we should be able to see Black people be as complex as they are without stereotyping them with a specific kind of behavior.

I do believe though that some do have the right to be angry with her and her actions. If Luther had taken those same actions as Allison did against Victor I would be just as pissed.

Yes Victor lied, but can you compare lying when telling the truth could have put someone's life at stake as the same as killing someone that didn't change the way the end of the world happened or affected things? Victor's siblings have not had the best track record of listening to him (Season 1) and that was only a few weeks ago (with 2 months not having any memory of it) so it's not like your trust in them gets better ine one day. Yes Allison wanted him out of the vault and had pretty much warned him about Leonard, but those didn't help with the years of trauma he experienced as being excluded from the rest and Allison bring concerned for him happened YEARS after they parted, which again makes sense on why Victor wasn't so concerned with Allison's worries about Leonard. Would you listen to a family member you haven't spoken to in years tell you that you shouldn't trust someone you have a crush on?

Then we have Season 2 where the only interaction between Victor and Allison is when Allison's trying to save Victor and when they get to where Season 3 starts. So you get like maybe a week of interaction with a sibling you haven't spoken to in years and then months of no more interaction, would you trust someone wholeheartedly within such a short time frame?

Season 3 we get to see more interactions with them and Victor is even trying to sympathize with Allison losing loved ones AGAIN when he lost loved ones too (Sissy and Harlan). Yes he got to see Harlan again, but it wasn't because he chose it or did things his way so he could have Harlan, it just was. If Claire or Ray had been in S3 and found out somehow they're the cause of the death of their mothers, do you think Allison would gladly give away that information to her family or be fine if Victor killed them?

I understand that this was how Allison dealt with her trauma and grief over everything, and it's valid she felt the things she did and wanted to cause harm to herself and others, but we shouldn't praise her actions, just like we should 't praise Victor for destroying the world in S1 or Luther putting him in the vault. We can understand why they did the things they did without praising their behavior.

Seeing some of the most insane and fucking racist Allison takes???? If she was a white man going through a “villian era” y’all would be posting fan edits and talking about how attractive you find her, calling her your blorbo or some shit. Every character on that show has done insane fucked up shit and yet I only see horrible posts about Allison. Take some critical thinking skills and apply it to the show bc Jesus Christ y’all cannot be serious rn??

okay maybe I’m biased, but did it bother anyone else how literally none of the characters acknowledge that Harlan /is/ like family to Viktor? When they’re deciding whether or not to give him to the Sparrows it’s always “Harlan saved our lives” or “Viktor owes Harlan for giving him powers”. Not “Viktor partly raised him” or “Harlan is like a son to Viktor”. Family is soooo important but Harlan doesn’t get to count?

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY 3x03, “Pocket Full of Lightning”

I feel like a lot of people fail to see how similar umbrella Ben and sparrow Ben are and that bothers me a lot : they're not entirely different characters.

It really bothers me how most people see umbrella Ben as this pure little angel(tm) while he's not ? Of course we didn't see that much of him cause, yk, he's dead, but he was sometimes harsh, and just as pragmatic as sparrow Ben. Like remember when he wanted the brellies to kill Grace ?

When Sparrow Ben tells Viktor to put his shit together cause the apocalypse is happening and they don't have time for that, that something umbrella Ben did with Klaus and Viktor in the past, the only difference is that he has emotional attachment to them, and sparrow Ben doesn't.

That's also why I love that Klaus had a chance to talk about him, cause he's the only one who truly remembers how umbrella Ben could be a little shit sometimes, while the others forgot because of grief.

That was a long way of saying : stop making umbrella Ben into the shy nice little angel he's not.

Diego and Allison: Hey let's go beat the shit out of racists

which isn’t that much money

The Umbrella Academy S3 + Text Posts Part 1

Reginald Hargreeve: Okay so the world is going to end soon and all my kids hate me including me. How do I get them back together?

Reginald Hargreeve:...... I'll just kill myself.

What really happend

Can we please talk about how Allison might have rumored Luther into loving her?

Some people have many theory’s about it I personally believe it since in the show it looked like it didn’t mean anything to Allison since it was very easy for her to move on after leaving.

headcanon: while growing up Diego taught Klaus basic Spanish so that they could talk without the others knowing what they were saying. But now as they’ve grown up, Klaus has used it in the most painfully white way in order to annoy Diego (e.g. “I’d like my regular suite, por favor!”)

*sirius walked into a closet where James and regulus may or may not have been making out and now the doors stuck*

James: Well this is nice, just the three of us

Sirius and regulus: No!

I wish that instead of that Claire could have convinced him to sit down and talk. Claire taking him places, Claire finding solutions to his powers. That wholesome family bonding Klaus didn’t always get from his siblings. There were so many places this season could have just gone right honestly if the show runners just chose to look.

Klaus selling his body for drugs all over again was bad enough but then someone in that writers room decided to amp up the already fucked up situation to 100 by making Klaus to be sex trafficked and being forced to use his powers to let ghosts violate and use his body to have sex with the living so he could earn money to pay his debts to Quinn, which we all know he would never be able to do and he would be explored forever had he not escaped...And then it's played for laughs. Someone decided that putting Klaus through another extremely traumatic situation would be funny because he's always going on his own little adventures and getting himself in trouble, right? Someone in there thought "Oh that's so natural of him, that him going through something like this is just in character so it's funny, he will take this fucked up situation in a silly funny manner, right? Because it's Klaus Hargreeves we are talking about! And for some reason this will have no repercussions for his already poor mental health at all!" and they CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF!

I just want to talk to whoever wrote that shit. In a ✨️amicable✨️ way of course. As one does :)

posting TUA on main bc idc

imo the footloose dance scene is the best thing to ever grace the television screen. ever. like... in the history of anything unless ronance becomes canon.

meanwhile we have spanish buzz (toy story), which is the best thing to ever grace cinema. Idc about anything else, because spanish buzz was the best part of toy story 3.

since everyones tattoos went away after the reginald made the new world, does that mean that diegos nipple piercing went too ???? I NEED THIS INFORMATION

MY BABY MY BABY YOURE MY BABY SAY IT TO ME

theres a good chance that klaus wandered the end of the world having no idea that five was somewhere out there, two brothers alone in the apocalypse

what i find amazing about tua is that klaus DIED 56 times and ben never seemed to tell him or that he did tell klaus but klaus disregarded it and then immediately forgot about it

Ben: Klaus you just fell off a 10 story building and DIED

Klaus: Shut up Benerino
