Did anyone else get the impression from the season three finale of TUA that the new place they were transported was going to be very cyberpunk and fascist/dictatorial place with the father as the dictator and then disappointed when season four was nothing like that? In fact it was kinda the opposite and had a very home-y, small town aesthetic the entire season, nothing like the first impression we got in s3

Do you ship it?

gotta watch this…

I was watching the first ep of Paris Has Fallen, Ritu’s latest thing (very good so far!), and although she’s clearly not playing Lila, her character’s vibe felt so much more like her than anything in s4. I was trying to figure out why, and it struck me: it’s because she’s so active - she runs, she fights, she’s bloody and covered in soot for half of it - and when she fights, she’s absolutely brutal with it. She gets down and dirty, she struggles, and no move is off-limits. She fucking kills a mime with a stiletto heel.

Does Lila in s4 do any of that? She’s so static! She sits in the truck, she sits on subway trains…she stands and talks, or watches other people talking…she goes to meetings…in the fight with Ben, she’s mostly helping Allison... Even when she does fight, they’ve lumbered her with a shiny new power that means all she does is stand in a corner and look. What a fucking waste!

I mean, there weren’t many decent fight scenes anyhow - certainly not enough to go round - but of the few there are, Lila is always at the edges, never involved, and like…no. Not my Lila.

the best temporal assassin in the commission will fix this

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

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.]
