YA LIKE JAZZ? An attempt at explaining The Umbrella Academy timeline
Because I am a masochist I tried to map out what actually happened in seasons 1 & 2 of TUA. Click on the image or here for a full-size, readable version. A deep(ly unnecessary) explanation of how I came to these wild conclusions and some questionable Benihana analogies below the cut.
I think what I love most about Allison and Ray’s relationship is even though it’s written to be temporary, or transitional in some way and you can kind of tell that from the moment he’s introduced–you don’t just marry someone in between seasons to a character who’s going to be sticking around–they didn’t fall prey to any of the tropes that transitional relationships usually fall into. Ray doesn’t turn out to be a bad guy, he doesn’t die to show how serious things are getting, he doesn’t decide he can’t handle Allison’s life, they’re just two people who love each other deeply and weren’t supposed to meet each other and who circumstances won’t let stay together forever so they have to go separate ways. I mean when he freaked out over seeing her use her powers I was sure they were going to do a story where this was the thing that unraveled their relationship because he can’t handle it, or he can’t trust her, or he dies, and instead she just. Sits him down and tells him the truth and he accepts it and this new facet of who she is? “I would take my year with you over a lifetime with anybody else”?? My god I’ve been invested in like two fictional romantic relationships ever but this one is so good. I’m so glad they handled it the way they did.
Love calatheas but can’t keep up with their light and humidity needs? Try keeping their cousin, ctenathe “Amagris,” which behaves like a calathea but can tolerate lower light and drier conditions.
Klaus Hargreeves is one powerful dude. Spoilers; you know that giant moon rock barrelling down towards Earth? The one that wiped out everyone and everything? Yeah, Klaus stopped it. In mid air. Apocalypse averted. Stopped because Klaus has telekinesis and doesn’t wear shoes. Just thought ya’ll should know.
Can someone please make a story where this actually happens?
