klaus & ben (sparrow)

🔮🐙!!!!

You know what I think is really fucked up is that this Ben obviously misses his siblings, his academy, soooo much and the narrative just..... doesn't care.

Whatever their problems were they were his siblings, his family and he watched them all die terrible tragic deaths before they ever got a chance to escape the clutches of their abusive father. And now he's stuck with this group who is insistent on seeing him as an asshole version of their ben that they and the narrative kinda act like his family never existed and that is so fucked up and such a missed opportunity.

*Major Spoilers for season 4*

I will give them that nothing could have actually prepared me for the fact that it was Hargreeves that killed Ben. I was prepared for the whole touching the girl is what inadvertently kills her but she didn't mean it. But Reginald killing Ben and then wiping their memories is just another extra little layer to the tragedy of it all. That works so well.

The fact that this Reginald is long gone and only a replicant of him who doesn't know them doesn't know their history is left to answer for his crimes is just so god. How do we give these kids closure?

Tua- doesn't invite sparrow ben to the bachelor party

Sparrow ben-

Five: Looks at you across the room in disappointment

go follow this idiot boy

The whole family teamed up to get me a phone. I’m still trying to figure out how to use this thing, so send me questions I guess.

((ask box open! we like to have fun here))

What are your opinions on your brothers?

-s. silverstein

I’ve missed you all... so much

-Umbrella Academy-

Finished watching S2~~~  

So I started The Umbrella Academy (I'm at s1 ep6) and here my observations:

-I absolutely hate this incestuous romance between Allison and Luther. I think it's weird and gross and I feel very uncomfortable every time I see their romantic scenes.

-I had a bad feeling for Leonard since his first apparence and I hate being right like this.

-Five is a broken homicidal little bitch and I love him.

-Klaus my beloved junkie.

-Vanya has the charisma of a stick bug and I will protect her with my life.

-They're all fucked but I love them so much.

-Grace freaking me out but I don't think she is bad.

-If the old man wasn't already dead I would kill him myself and with a marvelous joy.

-Please give me more Ben's screen time 😭 and also how the fuck did he dies? I want to know!

-Luther's obsession with being N°1 is not healthy ~

-POGO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HIDE???

-I would love to see more flashback of their childhood.

-Hazel and Cha-Cha relationship OMG my heart!

-I think Ben have a very strong presence as a ghost because he is often around Klaus even when he is not so sober, and being high is supposed to keep the ghost away.

So I just finished the first season of The Umbrella Academy, here my thoughts :) :

-Five x Dolores and Hazel x Agnès are the best relationships of this show and I take no criticisms.

-Still hating Luther x Allison, I was happy the last episodes didn't have the time to focus on their "romance" because of the apocalypse, the apocalypse is much more enjoyable to watch :)

-The lack of respect and recognition Vanya and Klaus get physically hurt me. At least Vanya gets to explore a little bit her relationship with Allison but Klaus is been constantly step on and ignored, it really hurt me :( especially when he is doing so much efforts for fight against his addiction and the other still considering he is just high and with nothing important to say.

-Vanya becomes emo and my brain goes brrrrrrr.

-I wasn't a fan of Luther character since the beginning but I was doing efforts because he is fucked up like the other. But I seriously hate is attitude, he always tries to control everything, makes bad decisions and, in particular the thing I hate the most, he always uses his superior force to get and do what he wants. It's awful. Even if he thinks he does the best for his family I think he is just kind of abusive. He doesn't take criticisms or let them choices and physically holds them back to go against his own will. The worst exemple is when he locks up Vanya in the cell and let her imprisoned even when the majority (Diego, Allison and Klaus) isn't OK with that and stopped them to free her multiple times until they have to give up. I truly hope his behavior will change in season 2 because for now I seriously consider he is one of the most important cause of Vanya's snap.

-I wasn't sad when Pogo die, sorry not sorry :)

-Is this motherfucker of Reggie is an alien?? I didn't understand his flashbacks.

-Ben's screen time YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH. I love Ben. When I first saw him I though he will be a kind of Jiminy Cricket for Klaus, and sometimes he is, but most of the time he just has the same chaotic energy 😂😂😂. The scene when Klaus thrown a bowling ball at him and he didn't catch it I swear his Pikachu chocked face was so funny. Now that the other FINALLY believe Klaus I hope to see him even more in season 2.

-Personal preference but I miss the old "faint of exhaustion" trope in this series. It's just on of my favorite and it usually work well with superpowers intrigues. It's maybe kinda bullshit to see Vanya, Klaus or Five doing insane things they never do before and just be like "I'm fine, what a piece of cake :)".

-I liked Patch, sad that she died.

-I hope more parallelisms between Five and the Comission's bitch, I think they can be a good illustration of "same beginning but different paths" .

-Good to see you dead Leonard/Harold, I will not miss you :)

-I still don't know how Ben died and I want answers!

TUA Season 3 Episode 7 SPOILERS

I watched Klaus dies and resurrects for like 5 minutes and I still don't know if I find it funny or terrible.

I don't really trust Reginald with Klaus, I can't stop thinking he planning something and manipulates my Death Boy :(

Sparrow!Ben calling Viktor an emo was funny. Like, Ben you are the emo king here who do you try to insult 🤡

I'm conflicted on Sparrow!Pogo. On a side he doesn't take Reggie's bullshit with the kids but on an other side he let them alone with the fucker :/

Sloane and Luther mariage proposal in front of an apocalyptic city was beautiful 😭 Even if it's very Disney's like because they knew each other for... 4 days? 5 days? They still cute.

I don't really like what the authors do with the Sparrows. I mean the way they kill them all. I feel like the finality is there will be only Ben left for "complet" the Umbrella academy. I liked Fei and Christopher >:( ! If the objective was to get Ben back they should have not kill him in season 2! There was a lot of theories of him being "resurrect" with Five's temporal jump.

Klaus finally get ride of his shoes, I hope he will finally get his glory hour!

Where is my TUA's fic where Jesus "if you're offended by how she dresses well look away" is the nice but sassy big brother of the Marigold's children and tries to put some sense in them or simply being an healthy support ?

Like manifesting in Five and Luther's dreams when they were alone in the Apocalypse/on the Moon for chatting with them so they don't feel abandoned.

Being the literal guardian angel of Claire so Allison can get a break with peace in her mind.

Secretly multiplying food in Diego's cupboard when he forgot to go shopping after a rough week of vigilant activities.

Blessing every water Ben touchs when he was alive because it will calm down The Horror and he want to help his little brother feel better.

Manifesting to Klaus like a ghost for big brothered him with Ben. "You need to eat Klaus.

-I ate two hours ago!

-You need VEGETABLES not smarties!" And also scaring the bad souls so they let him alone.

And convincing the souls of dead famous violinists to manifest in Viktor's dreams for helping him with the new piece he's working on.

WHERE IS IT DUH?

Parenthesis

My theory for the TUA's canon is that Reggie created the Marigold's children

BUT

As a headcanon I like the idea of God created them when she was in a nostalgic mood (because Jesus was so good how it can possibly go wrong?), I made some incorrect quotes for that. Tired Parent God and Big Brother Jesus is my confort au ok ?

WARNING: Major spoilers for The Umbrella Academy season 3

"How the fuck Five became the creator of the Comission" a theory by me

For the ones who ignored the spoilers warning, it's your life mate.

So in the season 3 we learned that Five created the Comission despite visibly hating everything about them for the 30h of screen time we have.

Here is my handmade theory of wtf happened. I will use the concept of different time-line we're introduced in season 3.

.

It's begin with the first Timeline, the original, the time-line 0.

In this time-line when the Hargreeves were 13, Five timetravels in the future despite their father interdiction. Expect he did not arrive in 2019, no he timetravels in a more far away future, at least in the 2100. And what did he found there?

Everything he've always looked for.

A bright future where there had no apocalypse in 2019, with a more advanced technology, maybe more people with powers, and the more important where their father is dead and cold for a long time. It's exactly what he always hoped, a safe place where him and his siblings can run away from their father.

The only problem is that he is blocked here, even if he tries and tries he doesn't manage to go back in the time to his family. So he worked hard, studied even harder to find a way, to have a better control of his power and with the help of the most advanced sciences and technology of this period it doesn't take him 45 years.

Finally he timetravels back to his time (before Ben's death) and kidnapped his family away from Reggie, leading them to this future of their dreams.

In this future where the Hargreeves finally have the freedom and the life they wanted, Five had an idea. As a timetraveler he knows how the time is fickle and pliable, but he wanted to protect this time-line, this time where he and his siblings finally had a good life and where they're safe. With the technology of this period he created the first time machine and founded the Comission, an organization out of the time here to protect the time-line.

I read somewhere a theory (sorry I didn't found the post for put the url :/) bout how the Hargreeves seem to have better healing ability than the common. At a following of this idea I imagine they can also live longer.

So Five was the president of the Comission for years, preserving the time-line. During this time he learned more about Reginald and the Oblivion, knowing very well that this possibility of rebooting the universe was dangerous he tattooed clues of the project on himself in case (he always been so damn paranoid). He invented the Bunker of the Comission, a place where time and paradox don't exist. As he became older he founded the Administration Committee for managed the Comission and locked himself in the Bunker where he won't age anymore and so escape death until the right time.

.

Except for an unknown reason the Committee decided one day of the Apocalypse project. I can't really imagine why but for me it's clear that was something Five wouldn't have approved so he had to be out of the picture.

I first suspected that the Apocalypse was the Handler's project but it didn't make sense. Yes she manages the team and she is in charge but we saw in season two that the Handler want the power and the control. She doesn't particularly desire the apocalypse she just uses it for manipulating Five, she doesn't have a problem to seal it away in exchange of the death of the Committee. So clearly the Apocalypse wasn't her idea.

.

Time-line 1

This time-line is the one before the canon. The Comission works for the realization of the Apocalypse in 2019 and when Five timetravels he arrives in this desolate place. His siblings are dead and he stays alone (with Dolores) in this time-line for 40 years before joining the Comission.

.

Time-line 2

This one is the first season. Five reappears a week before the Apocalypse and with his siblings he tried to stop it. Also in this time-line Klaus timetravels to 1967-1968 in Vietnam and meets Dave. Viktor causes the Apocalypse and the Hargreeves timetravel together.

.

Time-line 3

The beginning of the season 2. The Hargreeves minus Five timetravel in the 1960s and cause the Apocalypse that Five can witness before timetraveling again.

.

Time-line 4

This is basically season 2 and 3. Five appears a week before the Apocalypse he saw (again). While trying to stop it the Hargreeves meet Reginald and manage to be so chaotic that he unadoptes them. Viktor accidentally gives Harlan powers, Lila has an existential crisis and the Handler dies. They stop the Apocalypse and timetravel in the 2019 of this chronology where they meet the Sparrow Academy. Sadly their presence cause a paradox and an Apocalypse (AGAIN). Five meets himself from the original time-line who indirectly warned him about Oblivion before dying, Allison loses her marbles, kills Harlan and Reggie convinces her to help him for the project Oblivion. The entire universe is destroyed and the Umbrella Hargreeves minus Luther (technically also Klaus but he resurrects after) and plus Sparrow Ben, Reggie, Lila and Sloane escape in the pocket dimension of Oblivion. Allison and Reggie reboot the universe.

.

Time-line ???

The universe has been reboot. Reggie seems to be be the lord of at least the city and has his wife (I suppose) back. Allison is reunited with her daughter Claire and her 1960s husband Ray. Luther (resurrected), Diego, Klaus, Five, Sparrow Ben, Viktor and Lila emerges from the hotel, their powers are gone and Sloane is nowhere to be found. In a last scene we see a subway in Korea where (I suppose again) a resurrected Umbrella Ben is reading.

___

There are only suppositions of the birth of the Comission and who many time-line Five created in his life. Time-line 0 is my personal explication of why Five created the Comission because we see he will do whatever it takes to get his family safe (sad it didn't work at the end). I hope we will have answers in the season 4 (I can't believe it will be the last 😭😭😭 I dreamed seven seasons at least for this series come on).

ben: you’re an idiot.

klaus: thanks, why tho?

my headcanons for the hargreeves siblings:

luther- straight, also never bothered trying anything else bc thE MOON

diego- bi boi, he just likes b a d a s s e s

allison- straight but girls are super pretty and she’d try it out if the right one showed up

klaus- ultimate pan, also open to a poly relationship bc he rlly likes comfort cuddles

five- he’s ace, bc after all those years alone he just can’t deal with people and hasn’t ever been interested

ben- gay but he died too early to ever have fun

vanya- biromanic but in all honesty, pretty people scare her and she’d rather not

klaus: you need to remember to love yourself.

ben: but don’t you hate yourself?

klaus: yes but this is about you, stay focused.

Question!

So I don’t know if any of the Hargreeves siblings ever changed their legal names from “Number ______” to their more “normal” names. Like I’m pretty sure that Allison, Vanya and Diego would definitely have changed theirs, Allison because she is an Actress, Vanya because she seems like the responsible one, and Diego because he wanted to be a police at one point so it kind of makes sense, right? Five and Ben were long gone by the time they would have been able to change their names, Klaus would be too high to care and Luther never left the Academy and when he did, he was on the moon.

Though my question is not about that. I was thinking about Five and how he never really wanted a “normal” name. So legally, the seven children were all “Number ______” when they were adopted, so that means that Five is legally “Number Five Hargreeves” does that mean that “Number” is his first name and “Five” his middle name?

It just makes me think (and laugh) that for 17/18 years, there was a huge house with: one chimpanzee, one robot, one alien and seven children named “Number”.

Someone once pointed out how if Ben was alive, that he and Klaus would not be close at all. And you know what? It is true. So sad yet true. In my opinion the best duo of TUA (apart from Five and Dolores, of course) is Ben and Klaus. I just find their banter extremely funny, but if you think about it, they only are as close to each other because Klaus is the only person who can see Ben. They got close through the years and that’s the only reason they know each other so well. Just thinking of a timeline in which he lives and is not close to Klaus is strange. Klaus would be less himself because a lot of his choices must have been influenced by Ben. And Ben wouldn’t be as wittty and sarcastic as he is because he probably learned most of it being a ghost next to Klaus. I don’t know if I’m glad that he is dead because then they are close, or sad that he is dead because we don’t see as much of him as we wished we did.
