#the commission

[feralnumberfive]

I don't think I've seen anyone talk about Five being the founder of The Commission yet. He's literally the founder of the very thing he hates. The very thing that led him down the road of killing people. The very thing that has hunted him and his family and almost killed them. The Commission has caused him so much trouble and pain in his life yet he's indirectly the one responsible for it

#say indirectly because he's just the founder it's not like he was controlling The Handler and assassins to go after him and his family #ugh it deleted my ''I'' at the start of the previous tag #but he's still the one who formed this hellish organization #and I'm still confused on 100 year old Five's existence #tua #the umbrella academy #umbrella academy #tua s3 #tua spoilers #tua s3 spoilers #number five #five hargreeves #the commission

Diego: god, you have daddy issues

Lila: Can't have daddy issues if I've never had a dad!

Five: that's literally the definition of daddy issues

Could you have imagined Diego learning about the Five Survival Betting Pool? About how they just sat back and watched as Five grew more and more desperate for a way out, making bets on how long he’d survive?

On Dot, and her involvement in ensuring that his entire family dies? Diego liked the Commission, and he doesn’t know the reasons he really, really should not.

Commission (ha) for @sharkneto, a scene from his fic Holding It Together! Five deserved to be the one to eat that fish, dammit

[find out how to commission me here!]

[ID: A digital illustration of a bloodied Five looming over a cowering AJ Carmichael in someone’s kitchen. Five’s sleeves are sliced up and he is wielding a bloody fireplace poker and grinning. AJ the fish is unharmed, but he is spattered with blood and has a deep gash on his knee. The owners of the house, Rob and Sarah, are cowering under a table and holding each other in the background. End ID.]

what do u think working at the commission would be like (besides the traumatic stuff) i imagine it like a boarding school or college for adults with ptsd

It's not made clear exactly how the commission functions from a training perspective. We know the HQ exists which is office space, R+D etc, but in my head there is also a separate campus for training and housing Temporal Assassins, which is where Five would have gone when 'rescued' by the Handler, as in S1 it's clear he's never been to HQ before.

This I imagine like a corporate army base with single dorm rooms. I can see them all sitting in the cafeteria complaining about management over shitty vending-machine coffee in between drills and training videos.

There are lots of unstable people there and fights break out often in the common areas, but everyone else just rolls their eyes and carries on as normal. There are some people who seem *too* friendly, and others who just stare at the walls in silence until called to a drill, and then spring in to action with unnerving speed and fluidity.

Five was one of the latter.

Five describing the Handler

“Every time she laughs, an angel dies. Even telemarketers avoid her. Her birth was payback for the sins of man. But you know the worse thing about her?...She works for the Commission.“

I’ve seen a lot of posts talking about how dumb it was that Five didn’t time travel in S3 to either escape the new end of the world or at least reverse time to save his siblings. On a rewatch, I don’t think the issue really is that he didn’t so much as the show didn’t fully explain why he couldn’t.

The Umbrellas arrive in 2019 and the Kugelblitz appears. Almost immediately after, we see Lila attempt to use a briefcase, and it completely fails. She steals another and the same thing happens — kaput. Five even says how astronomically impossible this is. The Commission briefcases have been the most reliable time travel in the show by a wide margin, way more accurate than Five’s powers and able to handle more jumps with more people far easier. Despite that, once the Kugelblitz started, they can no longer function.

Five and Lila do manage to time travel but it takes both of them plus a briefcase to barely get to the Fifties and back and doing so completely fries the commission briefcase. At this point, I don’t think even they together have the power to travel back unassisted without a briefcase. And that’s even before the Kugelblitz really powers up.

The big question here is why, which Five actually explains while they’re in Commission headquarters. The Kugelblitz is the opposite of the Big Bang — the timeline is collapsing in on itself, pretty much creating a giant black hole centered on 2019. This tells me two things:

1. Time, past and future, is literally collapsing into 2019. The Kugelblitz is an unimaginably powerful force that’s destroying the universe and only getting stronger by the second. If time travel is usually hard, I imagine trying to go backward against that force is next to impossible (I’d go with actually impossible once it got stronger). As mentioned, Five + Lila + the briefcase could barely do it. There’s little chance alone.

2. Despite all the destruction we see in the season, 2019 is the center point and the last thing to be destroyed. We see at the end of the show that the only thing left in the universe is the city block with the hotel. I’d imagine the same thing happened with the timelines. Why was every single person in the commission dusted? Because the commission headquarters is in the Fifties. If the timeline is collapsing, it makes sense that things further in the past are collapsing first. The Kugelblitz isn’t just destroying the present, it’s the collapse of the entire timeline with 2019 as the center point. I think by the time Lila and Five time travel, everyone from up to that point in history has been destroyed, not just the commission. Time is rolling up like a carpet with 2019 being the last to go. If they even could time travel, they would have even less time to live their lives or try to save the universe than they did in the Sparrow timeline.

I do think time travel could have worked. If they had known Harlan was the cause before Five and Lila time traveled, I think them with the briefcase could have made it back, killed him (sorry Harlan) and saved the world. But without that knowledge, they couldn’t have investigated and tried to save 7 different women before 1989 was dusted. And once they had the truth, the Kugelblitz was stronger and the briefcases were destroyed.

So yeah, there was literally no time traveling Five could do this season. I think even rewinds would be impossible against the gravitational pull on the timeline that was the end of the universe. For once, Five had to live it out with everyone else and accept fate.
