Absolutely obsessed with how quickly Diego just accepted the whole Umbrella/Sparrow dance off hallucination as a real thing. He looked around confused for a minute, questioned Luther once, and then just fucking rolled with it. No wondering how they all knew the same choreography. No asking where the music was coming from. Man was just full on down to dance. Truly peak himbo behavior.
But I don't want them to heal. I want them to stay bitter and sour and angry. I want them to choose revenge over letting go every time. I want to see glimpses of hope, of peace, of a future that is better for everyone and I want them to choose wrong. I want them to refuse to regret that choice, no matter how much it hurts, no matter who it hurts. I want them to succeed in their vengeance and look back and think, even after everything, "It was worth it. I did what I had to do." I'm tired of characters choosing peace and healing and love. Choose hate and anger and pain, and inflict on every person who ever hurt you.
sometimes i think about the fact five's trauma technically never happened
if somebody dies and you had the ability to go back and time and prevent it, what do you do with the leftover trauma? you are left with the trauma of a horror only you have seen. something that, by all logic, has never happened, because you were there to prevent it from occurring. did it ever truly happen? and if not, then what is there to mourn? how do you mourn the loss of something that was never lost?
the thing about the thing is that any klaus ship makes more sense than kl*roline and those people have to act like that to compensate. and i do mean literally any klaus ship.
the originals edition? klaurora ate. would've done great things if not for elijah. klamille? ain't everyone's cup of tea but it still makes more sense for klaus to have an interest in her than that other blonde girl at the very LEAST from a psychology aspect and to get at marcel and kieran. klayley? even if the only thing they Ever did was hate fuck, it still would've been more in character. klaus and lucien, klaus and genevieve, all of them make at least some sense from a narrative point of view.
tvd? klaus and elena? would've been a dark and twisty ass romance, but would've been great to witness. klaus and bonnie? not only would it have been eagerly accepted, but it was WANTED by the actors too. klaus and katherine? c'mon. (if you come to me about 'he killed her family!!' i'm sorry but i do not care they would've been so fucking funny). klaus and stefan.
even in the fucking BOOKS, klaus and vivianne were so, so much better. it's just.
like i'm SORRY but no matter what other ship it is kl*roline falls flat. he liked her because why? he has a weird complex about his sister and he wanted to assert dominance over tyler. there was literally no other reason for that man to give a shit about her.
Diego is the revolted emo who loves wear black and in the minor inconvenience burst out in a wave of fury. I'm very sure he would listen to Olivia Rodrigo in secret
Allison was in her dark emo phase in season 3. Like, very very dark. Where life is a shit, God is dead and she only wants every single soul who dares to cross her path to suffocate into a plastic bag
Klaus is Klaus. He's such a richie emo, I'm not going to elaborate. You can (re)watch the series and reach your conclusions
Five, alright, you saw him in s3? Everything bout him screamed EMO. He's finally liberting the emoness inside him. He listens to rock. Deal with people is difficult. His life is blood. He burns this shit to the ground. He's a senior emo.
Both Umbrella!Ben and Sparrow!Ben are emo.
Umbrella!Ben loves gothic books, is a misunderstood romantic and cries himself to sleep at night (or at least used to when he was alive because he's a ghost and OH being dead is very emo of his part)
Sparrow!Ben is an emo in denial, but you fool nobody sir. You can wear your "rich boy" clothes, call other people emo as an insult and change your hairstyle from the end of season 2 to season 3 but you are EMO and I KNOW that
Viktor? His life is a big emo joke, I'm sorry. He listens to sad music to get even more sad, shyness who hides homicidal rage, depressed life, y'know, classical emo. Oh and destroy the whole world by PLAY A VIOLIN??? This is the apex of being emo
Lila went to play in a rock band in 80's Germany when she was having a break down, what is there more to say?

MY POINT IS the Umbrella Academy is a story about Luther and his emo family.
incorrect quote based on an absolute banger of a conversation I had with my best friend yesterday:
Diego: “Well one time when were kids, everyone was getting sick, and I started feeling sick. So I ate a bunch of those vitamin C infused cough drops. And when I woke up I was completely fine! …I beat the sickness’s ass before it could take me down!”
Allison: Afraid of their own strength, Fight Like A Normal, Sanity Slipping, Compelling Voice, One Man Army, I jusr wanna be normal, Celebrity Superhero
Klaus: The Cassandra, Blessed With Suck, I See Dead People, Tragic Keepsake, Big Brother Instinct and Back From the Dead
