the best temporal assassin in the commission will fix this

[its-raining-brellies]

I told my students they're allowed to be creative and don't have to be factual when writing about themselves in German because I keep getting questions like "what if I don't have roommates or what if I don't have hobbies" and I'm like guys just make something up! Have fun! I won't fact check you!

So now I am grading homework where a student is claiming to be from North Korea and his hobby is tax fraud

Living forever in TUA S2. My evil twin is back and writing these two and it reminded me to finish this old thing.

i know we've all agreed that the umbrella academy season 4 was shit but the alternate timelines subway concept was actually sick and i'd watch a whole show about just that.

I love it when there's a guy who lost their name. forgot it, discarded it, don't use it, can't use it, had it stolen, even just when a title is used to avoid saying it. all good stuff

Me and the mutuals filling eachothers dashboards w the exact same posts we've reblogged from one another

the executive decision of giving “i think were alone now” to the other hargreeves but then “dancing with myself” to five is diabolical in ways i cant even get into

The Umbrella Academy 1x03 - Extra Ordinary

[its-raining-brellies]

perfect new meme template just dropped

[its-raining-brellies]

Mr Pennycrumb!!

This started as drawing Number and Mr. Pennycrumb from @sharkneto's fic Joining Together. Then I added mr pennycrumb begging from Sarah in one of the last chapters of JT, and Five from the prequel petting a dog for the first time ever. Then i was feeling bad for apocalypse five who has never had anything good happen to him in his whole entire life so I let him pet the dog a couple times too.

[ID: A series of six sketches of Mr Pennycrumb, a silly-looking dog with ears that stick straight out and a body that is a little too long. He is mostly clambering onto various versions of Five and trying to lick them.

One version of Five is the Five from canon, wearing the Umbrella Academy uniform and looking startled.

Another version of Five is Number from Joining Together. In one sketch he is lying on the floor holding Mr Pennycrumb up and gazing lovingly at him. Mr Pennycrumb looks delighted and is drooling on him. In another, he's sitting up while Mr Pennycrumb licks his nose.

The last version of Five is old apocalypse Five. Mr Pennycrumb is climbing on top of him, once while sitting and once while lying down, and is licking his face. Five looks baffled.

In the last image, Sarah from Joining Together is washing dishes while Mr Pennycrumb attempts to beg for food from her. End ID.]

Obviously, Number Five cleared things up with the Commission. You think they let that little shit off so easy? It doesn't make any sense. Sure it does. He's a legend.

Number Five + reactions when he is dehumanised by the Commission

[ID: Ten-piece-gifset of five instances where Five is dehumanised by Commission agents throughout Season 1 of the Umbrella Academy. The Commission agents talk over his personhood to his face, often with casual smiles and compliments. Five's reaction to this treatment evolves from confusion over concealed anger and open rage to exasperation. Detailed ID in alt. End ID.]

all the people saying stuff abt the deli being fives name

i dont think its his name, but i also think its a missed opportunity to do something fun

like. fives name has been a tua mystery since day 1, why doesnt he have a name, was it his choice, if so why stick to five, how were the others given names and is that why five didnt get one etc etc

and none of those questions have been answered within the show (they have been answered outside of it but the statements of the creators often conflict with whats actually seen in the show.. so not reliable info basically). so there is an opportunity here to do what we did with ben in s3 - show how much five changes across timelines.

and in one sense, they could be making a statement here. five, unlike ben, is commanded more by nature than nurture. he always ends up the same regardless of his circumstances.

but given the general lack of care seen this season i generally think that the deli and the fives are more so a display of a lack of attention. the reason they all wear the same suit and have the same hairstyle, and are all the same age with the same appearance, its the same reason five doesnt change outfits after 7 years in the subway. the creators didnt care.

so i think that this would have been a really interesting opportunity to explore who five could have been. bring back old five, show us apocalypse five, toddler five with older fives looking after them, fives who got to have a family of their own and fives who were never a part of reginald's adopted children at all. irish fives and american fives, maybe even jewish fives if we follow aidan's faith/ethnicity (?).

we could have seen fives at different stages, fives from s1 and s2 and s3. we could have seen how five from the phoenix academy could butt heads with five from the umbrella academy over whose siblings deserve to live more. we could have seen founder five, missing arm and all, before he founds the commission. five from the comics could have made a cameo.

we could have had fives with different names. fives who grew up in the academy and did choose names. fives who were named by their birth mother. max could have been a five name, along with a thousand other names, and it could have shown that fives name isnt about him needing a name but instead how his family has affected him and how he sees himself.

instead we got.. basically nothing

this post is not about brisket five hes perfectly wonderful as is
