I Just Kinda Wonder How When Vanya Slit Allisons Throat People Say She Was Just Defending Herself But

i just kinda wonder how when vanya slit allison’s throat people say “she was just defending herself” but couldn’t you say the same for allison? like vanya literally said “look me in the eye and tell me you’re not threatened now.” like... she was trying to start something when all allison was trying to do was help her. and people always say vanya was going through a lot but in what world is that a valid reason for her to do that. people act as if allison was going to kill her in that scene the most she was going to say was “i heard a rumor you stopped.” or “i heard a rumor you got in the car.” i’m sorry but i will never forgive vanya for that lol.

one thing we don’t talk about enough in this fandom is allison and ben’s relationship. true, there isn’t much to go on about, but i was rewatching season 1, and i found this lovely gem when pogo let allison into reggie’s recording room:

like look at that, she is clearly so delighted to have a piece of her baby brother back again, even if it’s just a few minutes of grainy footage of him, diego, and her. if you listen closely to the audio, you’ll even hear young!allison telling somebody to “give it back!” followed by ben and diego tossing something back and forth (probably her stuff), and allison chasing them up the staircases; just three normal siblings having a good time together on a boring summer day.

and it’s just so adorable because even though it’s not shown, it’s the little moments like these that confirm that ben really was the heart of the hargreeves family, a miniature sun that all of them revolved around, and the minute he died, all of them had no reason to stay anymore.

i’m sorry but i feel like we don’t talk enough about that scene where allison and ray are bagging up dead swede #2′s body, and she complains “why are people so much heavier when they’re dead?” to which he replies “you got a lot of practice with this sort of thing?” and she just

like i can’t even, she’s obviously thinking bitch do not test me do you want to be next, meanwhile ray here is clearly reassessing all his life choices (oh good lord jesus what did i even marry into) and wondering if it’s too late for a refund

ah yes–the little joys of blissful married life

love the fact tua never has an issue putting in a black/ poc, plus size, or lgbtqa characters. especially dark skin black women who are often neglected in the media.

i 100% agree and ik people will hate me for this but i feel the same way about vanya as well everyone acts as if klaus and vanya can do no wrong and that their siblings treat them HORRIBLY but it’s truly not the other siblings that should be blamed.

Klaus Hargreeves: master manipulator

I have read so many posts, comments, confessions talking about unfairly Klaus is treated by his siblings regarding some situations  more specifically  the light supper when Ben possessed him (only because Klaus was being an asshole and ignoring Ben begging him to acknowledge his presence so it was well deserved honestly) and no one paid much attention to him. Almost everyone in the fandom made a huge fuss about it.

The main issue here is that most of the fandom is in denial about a huge aspect of Klaus’s character or just see it as a apart of his so called “charm” aka MANIPULATION & LYING. Klaus is a master manipulator and a compulsive liar we have seen this trait throughout S1 because he used lying & manipulation as method to get money so he can score  drugs, and in S2 where he deceived, manipulated, and lied 1000+ of people some of them who are actually very smart, like that  lawyer and Jill who had scholarship to Berkeley, a black woman in 60’s had scholarship to a semi IV school and she gave it up to follow Klaus.

Klaus lies & manipulations are actually so very effective that  he was able to BRAIN WASH 1000+ of smart people for 3 years straight (and beyond because they still kept up Klaus’s cult going even after he left the 60’s) and  even leaving them/running away from them and telling the truth (not even actually trying that hard because he couldn’t care less about these people) wasn’t enough, he has  BRAINWASHED them  too strongly   that they would need a professional  to help them  to deprogram the brain washing Klaus has accomplished.

Now unlike those 1000+ of innocent people his family KNOWS  who he is, they grew up with him, they’re fell for his lies & manipulations countless of times until they realized that’s all they ever will be, Klaus has been “the boy who cried wolf” toooooooooooo many times for his family to ever believe him or take him in any serious manner,  they know for sure 99% of the time that whatever Klaus is talking/blabbing about is most likely 99% complete bullshit and they’re just fed up with it so when as far as they know (because he LIED to them about Ben ALL SEASON LONG, only Diego & Vanaya knew because of specific situations, other they two wouldn’t have known) Klaus is acting all “weird”  to them as far as  they know it’s just Klaus being his usual manipulative self acting out to get attention or just acting “weird” (which to them is perfectly normal by then) for the sake of it.

Klaus is a grown ass man, no one should blame the consequences of his actions on his siblings, and his actions is what got him in that situation in the first, the situation I’m referring to is that none of his siblings ever takes him seriously, he’s been manipulating and lying since his teenage years and he NEVER shown that he changed at all, his cult in S2 is yet another evidence that Klaus is 99% is fake, manipulating, and lying, he’s the one who choose to lie about/hide the fact that Ben was there all along he’s only suffering the consequences of his actions, so really it’s HIS OWN FAULT and NONE of the siblings should be upheld the responsibility of taking care of the second OLDEST sibling who REFUSES to take of himself, it’s already HORRIBLE enough that Ben is kind of FORCED to do so and has been doing it for the past 17 years as a ghost and for all the good he tried to do for Klaus he only got SHITTY TRETMENT, he has been taken advantage of, ignored, installed, and NOT once did Klaus ever thank him or was grateful to him or showed him and kind of caring.

I don’t want any of the rest (well maybe Vanya I couldn’t cares less about her) to end up in the same situation as Ben or get blamed for Klaus’s actions, behavior and the consequences of said actions, it’s NOT fair to put them the responsibility of their man child, second oldest brother on them, it’s NOT fair that the whole keeps pointing fingers at the siblings but NEVER on Klaus himself or demand he actually takes responsibility of HIS OWN ACTIONS.

all the fandom ever talks about how much of “cinnamon roll” (as if) however his HORRIBLE action are NEVER actually ever discuses ALL the SHITTY things he does or how he  FUCKED the history/destiny of over 1000 of innocent people just because he was bored then he did NOT care enough to even try and fix for REAL(he simply blames his followers for following him and NEVER ever admits he has done them any wrong) it’s completely glossed ever and just seen/taken as humor, just another “funny” Klaus thing, it’s NEVER taken seriously by the fandom, or the actual horror of cults and how they fuck up people with the brain washing, instead there are actually fans who found the idea of Klaus’s so appealing, they actually want to voluntarily to be BRAIN WASHED by HIS BULLSHIT which is just honestly sad & horrifying because NO one should ever romantzice  the idea brain washing and cults because there’s nothing good about them, it’s as bad as romantzicing toxic abusive relationship with 50 shades of grey movies or romantzicing Stockholm syndrome with 365 movie.

In conclusion the fandom should stop blaming/holding the other siblings the responsibility of Klaus’s actions & the consequences of his actions, they are NOT his care takers nor should they be expected to be his care takers.
