Is That You Agent Number Five Hargreeves?

Is that you Agent Number Five Hargreeves?

I don’t remember half of this while consuming TUA...... Five really did piss a lot of people off, didn’t he? Of course he did.

So I was reading this one Encanto fic where Mirabel and Camilo time travel 50 years to the past and things happen. I enjoyed it quite a lot. Later, like a few hours after, I was looking at the Five-centric tag in Umbrella Academy fics and I just realized that the whole plot of Umbrella Academy is a time travel fix-it. With the whole idea of traveling to the past to change the course of the story for the greater good of their futures, aka, Five spending 45 years trying to figure out how to travel to the past and stop the apocalypse that killed his family and the rest of the planet (and left him stranded in nothingness)

So, there’s this big headcanon where Five gave his childhood away to “protect” his siblings from their father. But you know what I think? That it wouldn’t be true. Don’t get me wrong. I love that. The angst makes me happy, but let’s be honest. Child Five was arrogant and liked to be better than others. His favorite siblings were Ben and Vanya because they were the quiet ones, their numbers where under his and they wouldn’t go against his word. Just seeing how he acts I don’t think that if we were told more about their childhood, that we would see him sacrificing his childhood for them. Just random things, you know? Things aside, I really do like reading about it in fanfiction

Questions I had left after the end of Umbrella Academy season 4:

What happened to Sloane?

Why did Five suddenly stop caring about the family? When he and Lila are stuck on the subway, why did he not try harder to get back?

Why did Ray walk away from Allison?

What are Hargeeves and Abigail? What happened to their kind?

Why did Abigail create marigold to begin with?

If Hargeeves' kind fled from their planet, where did they end up?

How did Five create the time commission?

Why is there a subway?

If 43 babies were born because of marigold, what happened to the ones who lived?

The reason why Lila had to go back and stay with the family was because Ben/Jennifer had to absorb all of the marigold. So then what happened to the other superpowered people around the world?

Why does the apocalypse have to happen? If Hargeeves kills Jennifer, is the apocalypse the universe's way of correcting the wrong?

If there is an Umbrella Academy, a Sparrow Academy and a Phoenix Academy, what other academies are there?

How did Five manage to secure a job with the CIA while still looking relatively young?

How did Lila find her family? How does she know they are her family?

Did they land in this timeline as consciousness inside bodies with established lives or did they have to create their own lives?

How did Jennifer even get into the giant squid?

How does a commission worker, become a commission worker? Are they snatched from a random timeline? Is it like with Loki, where all the TVA workers are variants of people in the timeline?

If Grace was a real person in the 60s how did Hargeeves make the robot that would become the kids caretaker? Did he keep her corpse or did he just make a robot?

Was the 1960s Grace the Abigail of that Hargeeves?

Why did Hargeeves only try to get seven children? In the first timeline he managed to get seven babies and in the second timeline he manages to get another six babies, so why didn't he try to get all of them? (at least the ones that would be alive)

Why was there a Ben riding in the subway in the end of season 3?

What the fuck is Christopher?

That's all I could come up with for now, but I will probably add to the list if something else comes up

It wasn't on my bingo card to hear two different MCR songs in two Netflix show trailers this year but I'm living it

My Chemical Romance is really having a year this 2024. Dead Boy Detectives and then Umbrella Academy? Life has never been better
