#and lila would be like if we didn't have a child we'd not be getting married

[hellomagicalsouls]

also I need to talk about it cause I have the need to talk about everything cause I can't shut my mouth about hyperfixation.

✨‼️LILA HARGREEVES ‼️✨

(for looks good as hell)

also she's wearing the handler's boots - nice little touch I see you netflix.

so I wonder if she just changed it or if they actually got married? wonder if we'll see any snippets of the potential wedding?

You're so right.

Allison's main thing that I hated this season was the almost rape scene with Luther. I was saying, "No, no, no, Allison... no!" the whole time at the screen, and I was really tipping towards hating her... but she stopped. She stopped, she hadn't fully unraveled yet. I still dislike her for that, but in a twisted way, I can understand her situation? (And to the antis: this isn't condoning rape, this is me looking at this objectively at a character who has been through all of *gestures at all seasons of TUA* this.) She has no control over her life, and when she thought she was getting some of it back — with all the commanding "We need that briefcase!" and the purpose she found — she was betrayed by Viktor. Of course she's hurt. But as she herself said, even if it was fake (I think what Lila said about her "feeling everything at once" is so true. Maybe Allison meant it when she apologized, in very, very back of her mind, but she didn't let those emotions disrupt her from getting back Claire): "My pain doesn't give me the permission to punish you" or something like that. Her pain doesn't mean others suffering. But this is TUA, everyone suffers here. Even if it's getting into road accidents to funky music.

Thing is, everyone in TUA is fucked up. We can't judge anyone by our moral compass, because we haven't actually been in those situations ourselves, and we never will be. (Unless bug people are hiding on the moon with pixie dust. Are you?) They're all suffering or have suffered, in many different ways, and blaming one single person is futile because there's no single blame here. Someone can hate Allison for killing Harlan, who was like a child to Viktor (in a way), while someone else will hate Viktor for lying about the cause of the Kugerbling (sorry if I spelled that wrong). They both had stuff to protect. Allison wanted to protect her loved ones, her future, past, whatever; Viktor wanted to do the right thing and save what little he had left of Sissy. But mostly, I think, he wanted to right the wrong because he felt guilty for not having saved Harlan back in '63 itself.

So... yeah. You can't really hate anyone on this show. Even Reggie. If this was from his perspective, we'd all call him a "hero" and a "sofite" and a "romantic" for doing literally everything he could to revive his wife. Every person has their own purpose, and they are pursuing that.

They were all in character this season. Except maybe Klaus... he was the fun funky eccentric dude, yes, but Idk what's up with his powers... they're confusing. Why couldn't he see the Sparrow's ghosts if being Kugelblitzed took them to the afterlife, like we see with Luther and himself? Anyways, I think I've rambled on enough lol.

THANK YOU!! Literally everyone has fucked up at some point in the series. Everyone has trauma and they're all allowed to be angry. Their feelings are valid. It would be unrealistic if Allison didn't lash out. Viktor just caught the brunt of her anger and grief and it makes sense. Again, Viktor caused the end of the world not once but twice. Both times Allison had to lose the two people she cared for most. And then Viktor was protecting Harlan who was the reason she and Claire didn't exist in that universe. I think her anger is valid. We'd probably all be pretty angry and hurt too. But did Viktor deserve "we should've left you in the basement?" No because it's not fair. Viktor's temper tantrum was a result of everyone. But I think we can all agree on why the fandom currently hates Allison.

So I'm wondering... Reginald was only able to procure the Umbrella Academy kids because supposedly they're the only ones who could be bought, right? The rest of the 43's parents refused? At least that's the impression I got from the opening in S1.

Maybe they were the only ones he could find but I find it difficult since Reggie is a billionaire and could pay his way into getting contact with the families even if they wanted to remain anonymous despite submitting records of having given birth to a miracle child. Also, it became well known news that Reggie adopted 7 of those kids too right? So I find it even harder to believe that any mother willingly wanting to get rid of her miracle yet unwanted kid wouldn't try to contact a billionaire in order to strike up a deal to get something out of it too especially if she didn't want to keep the child anyway. I also don't see that if that were to have happened, how that would be unsuccessful, since the TUA opening made it seem like Reggie wanted more of the kids, it was only seven that he could procure with the consent of the mothers...

Reggie is clearly adamant about not wanting to adopt the six alive Umbrellas as we see at the end of S2 but how did he get the other mothers to give up the Sparrows if they refused the first time?

Ben makes sense because if his parents didn't want him the first time, it's logical they'd also cash out the second time. Reginald didn't know he was one of the original either so he wouldn't actively try to avoid finding Ben. But what about the other five Sparrows?

It makes me wonder: Did Reggie kill the other Sparrows' parents because he needed them for his academy but refused to adopt the Umbrellas again even though their mothers were willing to give them up?

I know this is Lila's back story with the Handler but the thing is: Reggie has power and money. It wouldn't be hard for him to have the mothers of the Sparrow kids assassinated so he could try again with a new batch all the while framing it as an act of goodwill of adopting the children who's mothers were so brutally murdered. He sees the 43 as experiments and so in the name of assembling his experimental hero team and the "good of the world" I don't think it's a stretch to believe he'd find killing a justifiable means to his end.

Also we saw how Lila reacted to learning her real parents loved her and were murdered by the Handler just to get to her. She's gonna be some sort of major player in S3 as well so maybe she'll be the uniting factor between the Umbrellas and Sparrows?

If Reggie really did kill the Sparrows parents who loved them, she'd know exactly how that feels and would heavily relate to the feeling of your life being a beautiful lie: abuse disguised as love especially if Reggie does treat the Sparrows "better" than he did the Umbrellas to brainwash them. The Handler treated Lila well and pretended to save her but at the end she was the murderess who had them killed and the whole time just wanted to use Lila. Lila's whole life was careful abuse hidden under a carefully crafted guise of goodwill. Lila also knows the Umbrellas are good people deep down even if it's only Diego she truly trusts and the others only by association to him. She would be a pretty easy way to link both teams who would probably find it hard to get on the same page otherwise.

Reginald doesn't seem to be one to change who he is. As much as we think the Sparrows are antagonists, it's likely they're also victims too because the central theme of TUA is familial abuse and the lasting affects on its victims. This is the first season we'd see Reggie actually alive as well so I doubt he'd be a reformed man, but rather worse, because he's already been confronted by his first "failure" children. His abuse is likely to take a different form on the Sparrows but definitely still be prevalent which is why I do think it isn't all that much of a stretch for the tipping point for the Sparrows to realize they are being abused is finding out that Reggie killed all of their parents in order to get to them after having failed with the Umbrellas the first time and needing new candidates to abuse but finding no willing takers.

I also think the whole "Team Zero" thing still has a chance to come into play here as well despite being played off as a joke in S2 cuz the numbers thing is how Reginald controls them. Diego breaking away from that is attempting to break away from his father's control and with the Sparrows brought into the mix, it'll be more profound for ALL of Reginald's adopted kids to shed the numbers once they realize how he's been treating them and the extent he went to just to abuse them.
