#'bc right now the world needs me. callum and ezran need me'

[raayllum]

laying in bed last night thinking about the trio's internal hierarchies of:

ezran: his community (the kingdom), the world, his loved ones

rayla: the world, her loved ones, her community

callum: his loved ones, the world, his community

[m4rs-ex3]

s7 spoilers ✨✨

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ok

"death alive" fucking snipe me the insane death motif that seems to be present here is killing me pun intended

GRAAAHAHAHHGROWLS IM SO EXCITED I CAN TEVEN

"i don't want to be separated again"

"i don't want to be separated again"

stop it right tf now bc this is literally what i have been wanting one of them to say so badly. also smooch. dear christ

the fact that terry wants so badly for him and claudia to be free that he is pleading with fucking archmage aaravos himself. like ik they're partners in crime atp but still my guy has balls. the dedication. poor thing 😭

aaravos fucking leading claudia on with even more hope of viren being saved - his own backstory making the way he's manipulating her grief 10x more twisted - and terry seeing right through his bullshit..... im foaming at the mouth

fuckin.g- FOR ME?!?!?!?!?!?

CALLUM SOBBING OVER EZRAN??? (dreamer's nightmare was prepping us for this huh)

SOREN APOLOGIZING TO CALLUM?? (for what i do not know) EMOTIONAL CALLUM/SOREN HUG DEAR GOD ALL IVE EVER WANTED

the making of a primal stone, more moon magic, a quest for an ingredient, insane biblical imagery... once again, FOR ME??!?!?!?!??!

"AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!!"

NECROMANCY!! just what this show needed omg

astrid my love. i was a little worried post-s6/pre-date announcement that we really wouldn't see that much, if any, of the celestial elves, but oh ho ho i can't believe i ever doubted you tdp. like you're telling me that astrid is tired of watching, of being the wise observers (especially now that her own brother has been so far removed from, well, being a non-all-seeing prophet), and that all she wants is to, for once, do something about all the tragedy she knows is coming and hasn't been able to do anything about? christmas fucking morning i tell you

goddamn the true extent and emphasized tragedy of katolis has been brought up enough that you just know they're not messing around

NO STOP SEEING SARAI AND HARROW NEXT TO GROWN AND CURRENTLY FCUKED UP EZRAN IS GOING TO FUCKING DEMOLISH ME

obviously ez being angry is just wow omg teehee but just. immediately being so vengeful and wanting to "destroy him" with zero hang-ups is.......... yeah wow omg teehee

"it's great!" i genuinely trust that with my life

ok hello this will most certainly be the most incredible visual to ever exist holy shit. also this is making me realize that we've never actual seen ez on the throne in arc 2 and i mean that's insane enough

this is incredible what can i say. i can see it now: rayla shoving worms in his face like "JUST EAT THE FUCKING WORMS ITS GOOD FOR YOU ASSHOLE" and runaan fighting her like a toddler refusing to eat his vegetables (except it's the opposite bc it's a vegetarian father refusing to eat his grubs)

i love how out of touch aaravos is (makes sense after centuries underneath inside of a rock) bc in what world is this normal. i highly doubt they have snow white or the bible but still it's just human nature to be weirded tf out by that. also yes @zuppizup ur so right his affinity for fruit being played on is amazing

also corvus: yeah yeah uh huh right and what exactly is your name, sir? aaravos: ah yes my name! it's uh uhh i mean it's uhhhhhhhhhhh. jofus

TWO IN THE FIRST EPISODE (which worries me but anyhow) IN THE FORM OF A GOODBYE AND A REUNION AND IN FRONT OF EVERYONE TOO???? AS A TREAT??????????

i'm all for ezran ripping runaan to shreds but i can't exactly say i see the correlation here. although that is kinda funny. it's like when i can't find my phone or smth so i just look at my dog and go "whiskey did you eat it" (she's been asleep this whole time and also she has never eaten/chewed on an object in her life)

also help inigo montoya ahh

ok 1) i, much like everyone else, kinda presumed that the tension would mostly be between ezran and callum and he wouldn't really hold anything against rayla, but the act of straight up arresting him really makes me wonder how rayla's gonna react 2) i really need to see callum's reaction (mainly out of defending rayla, but also because i can see him kinda being like "HEY i JUST freed him bro fuck you") and 3) the way that it is emphasized that soren is the one to arrest him..... idk i just figured that between his love for rayla, his own daddy issues (+the fact that viren was the one to imprison him so it would kinda be like righting his wrong), and that harrow was in fact not his father so compared to ezran he'd have a lot less resentment (he was of course still his king and soren had to actually watch it so still some but like. comparatively) i didn't think he'd be this combative but i'm certainly not complaining. the more angst the merrier

AW YEAH BOYS SHES COMING TO KATOLIS!!!!!

this has been your incoherent, feral mars commentary.* thank you

[agentoffangirling]

I've done the pros, now here is my cons post about TDP s7. As always, spoilers below

For being hyped up as a major threat, Aaravos didn't do that much. Most of his power is in his words, but he's literally the most powerful mage in the world, with all forms of magic mastered and no need to do incantations for any of them. And yet, he does very little magic in the season (in reference to how much his magic was hyped) and only monologues for the finale. Like. You can do so much. Why are you letting these ants get their way? Why are you bothering with them?

I somewhat dislike how they got rid of Aaravos as well. I agree with several other people when they say we were "cheated", bc there was so much marketing around Callum using dark magic. His arc was leading up to him using dark magic, that's what was foretold from the start. And it's kinda disappointing that they don't go through with it

To add onto my last point slightly, there wasn't enough death for a season finale. I know a lot of y'all are going "death? it's a kids show!" (absolutely not, kid me would be crying at the scenes they show), but we expected there to be some element of sacrifice. While Zubeia's death was incredibly sad and I mourn the death of the other Archdragons, no one else was particularly hurt. Most characters were left unscathed, further adding to the "cheating" part

Claudia should have died. I don't mean that in a bad way, like a "oh I hate her so much!!", no, she just doesn't have anything else to do. Viren's dead and everyone else has left her; her loved ones are what she was doing the whole Aaravos thing for, and clearly, no one wanted to stick around for that. There just isn't much of a reason for her to stay alive anymore and I think it cheapens her to be a puppet of Aaravos forever. Furthermore, her dying would be an excellent way to complete the "doomed siblings" trope. It would all come full circle

I dislike how the show tried to portray Ezran in the wrong for locking up Runaan. At that time, they all still believed Harrow was dead and that Runaan killed him-- if I was in Ezran's position, trust me, I would do much worse. Ezran was right to feel angry and vengeful and I don't think he necessarily should've forgiven him at the end

Filler. To make it clear, I am not anti-filler, and I think shows nowadays trying to remove filler is to their detriment. But TDP has always had a problem with having filler that just. Completely stops the story. And you would think that in a season finale, they would get rid of that to focus entirely on the big threat. But they don't. The scenes of Callum watching the Moonshadow kids are cute, and I love him bonding with Ethari and Runaan, but I can't think much of a reason for these scenes to exist. That time could've been better used to develop other parts of the story and the "meeting the parents" would fit better for the epilogue, not the middle of the season

There was also a ton of exposition dumped on us this season. Again, a problem TDP has been dealing with, but imagine instead of us being told everything about the mage wars and the Orphan Queen, that time used on filler is instead used on a flashback at the beginning of the episode showing how she rallied the troops together. That would be so badass!

These are very few grievances compared to my pros post, like I said, I was content watching this season and I enjoyed it greatly. There's just a couple things they could've done better

[raayllum]

#someone in the tags of that post said 'raylas self loathing works hard but callums devotion works even harder' and they own that post now#its theirs. they summed it up beautifully. they own it#'yes hes cringe but hes MY cringefail loserboy!!!!! get your OWN'#everyone else would say the 'hes a 10 but--' except for rayla. shes just 'hes a 10. hes just a 10 striaght-up'#he is not. he is so not a 10 i love him but hes not a 10 shes just so ill for him#so insane that the girl who has issues abt not being or being wanted by anyone or not good enough for ppl to stay/want her#proceeds to find maybe the 1 guy in the entire world who will choose her no matter WHAT#and even when SHE was the one who left & he was pissed he was still 100% sticking by her. hes staying#oops she showed him affection. now hes stuck forever! shame. welp guess thats how it goes!#and its partially bc of that she'd die for him. she needs him to b okay even if shes not there. mix of that loathing like#'he could still b happy without me so i need to ensure he lives so he can STAY happy at my own detriment. he means more than me'#girl if you died he would literally crumple into dust. fold in like cardboard in the rain. lay face-down in the sand & just die there#same w callum hes like 'i can hurt myself over & over for her if shes alive. if the danger is dead then she can live longer. i will live bu#tear myself apart so long she is safe'#bestie. if you reach the point of no return she will sacrifice herself to get the old you back WHAT THEN

i was the person with those tags but ur tags are also glorious and like callum and rayla are so funny, because like rayla holds herself to such a high standard where she's constantly catapulting between doing the worst shit bc she refuses to 'burden' anyone else with her bullshit (and ends up doing so anyway by accident) vs her thinking she has to constantly sacrifice herself for the boys / any particular stranger but esp the boys because they're so much better, than her, right? so much stronger and kinder and good and she's not any of those because she's rayla (even when she's all of those things also because she's rayla)

and then you have her rigidness about moral shit most of the time, right, like not killing someone who's done nothing to her and hating dark magic, but when it comes to callum those things are also dead in a ditch because like dark magic is unforgiveable and evil and only used by Dark Scary Mages -- "but oh no callum baby you can do whatever you want dark magic is fine when you use it <3 i'm just worried about You now" she's been willing to turn against and fight her own people for him specifically since hour one ("say the word and i'll go back into that tower with you") because she thinks he's so good and that he'll always ultimately end up doing the Right Thing, he's her source of inspiration of being better, and then if/whenever he doesn't she's like mad for two (2) minutes or doesn't bat an eye, like

callum will commit the worst crimes that would have her trying to kill basically anyone else but so long as it's her Special Little Man and he's motivated by love (which is baseline understandable to her even if she'll ruin claudia's life over the same thing) she'll let him get away with it every time and. they need to be quarantined together for the good of general society and ezran's sanity, i think

Honestly Rayla is equally 100% ride or die for Callum too.

That's so true I almost mentioned it in that post. They're so ridiculously feral for each other it's hilarious to watch. Callum's the legitimate "we ride AND die together" whereas Rayla is the "I will ride and die FOR you" sort of deal yknow?

Could be literally any situation, no matter how dangerous, and she's already decided she will die here. Does it ensure Callum lives? Then batter-up buckeroo we're going in swords blazing! Everyone cheer and clap for her human or she'll blow this whole place up. Kinda person who says "even if you hate me I'd still lose everything if it meant you were okay". She thinks they're in a tragic love story where she's always at risk of losing him but that's okay as long as it keeps him safe and happy like y'know Viren parallels, she'd risk losing her very self for him over and over. Except Callum would wait until the end of the world itself, and even beyond, and she wouldn't even have to ask.

The difference between them, really, is that Rayla will die for Callum on any given day. Callum will kill for Rayla on any given day. Something something matching sets

Rayllum Week 2019 - Day 4: Moonlight @rayllum-week

Summary: After a long day of travel, Rayla takes night watch while Callum and Ezran sleep. Rayla, an assassin bound by duty to Xadia, never lets her guard down—that is, until she met Callum.

[READ IT ON AO3]

---

“Rayla? Are you still awake?”

Callum is searching for Rayla just outside their campsite, stumbling through thickets lit only by the pale moonlight. They’d made camp for the night after a long day of sailing. Rayla had volunteered to keep watch while Ezran and Callum slept, despite Callum’s protests. He could see how tired she looked—her face pale and gaunt—and insisted on taking her place. Rayla refused: I appreciate your concern, Callum, but these woods are dangerous, and you need to rest.

Callum knew nothing he said could change her mind. That’s one thing he learned about her during their long voyage to Xadia. Rayla felt a strong sense of duty to return the dragon egg to its home, and with duty came the responsibility to make big decisions during their journey. Most of these decisions, Callum felt, involved bossing him and Ezran around. It’s for your own good, she said one day. Growing up in a castle won’t help you survive the wilderness! I will. So follow me, and I’ll make sure you don’t get eaten alive by wolves.

As thick-skinned as she was, though, Callum began to see cracks in her armor. Earlier during their boat ride, she looked sickly and in pain; her bruised hand—the one with the mysterious binding—hung limply over her lap while she gripped the side of the boat with her other hand to steady herself. She cringed each time a strong wave threatened to flip the boat over, her eyes shut tight and mouth set in a hard grimace. Callum hated seeing her like that. He tried playing a game to distract her—one where he’d ask her simple questions about her life, with the hope of getting to know her better. That didn’t go over well. He learned that she lost both her parents. How, he didn’t know, but it didn’t felt like the right time to ask. Callum could somewhat relate; he lost his mother, and sometimes it still hurt to talk about it. But at least he still had his father. He decided to tread lightly next time he asked her about personal matters.

After getting poked and prodded by several branches, Callum finally reaches a clearing. He sees Rayla lying down at the foot of a large tree, her arms limp and chin tilted toward her shoulder. Callum panics for a second, heat rising in his throat, and rushes over to her side to make sure she’s okay. There was no way she fell asleep—he couldn’t imagine her abandoning her post and settling for a nap instead. Something terrible must have happened. He kneels beside her and breathes a sigh of relief when he hears her faint snoring. Her eyes are closed, mouth slightly open as a trail of saliva runs down her chin. She’s asleep, that’s all. Callum smiles. He’s never seen her look so peaceful. He had a theory that she didn’t sleep, that Moonshadow elves didn’t physically have to. Clearly there was a lot he didn’t know about his newfound ally.

“Rayla?” he whispers.

Rayla startles at the sound, eyes popping open. She sits up while her hand swiftly grabs one of her swords in defense.

“Whoa! Relax, it’s just me!”

Rayla’s grip goes slack, and she drops her weapon. She blinks rapidly to make out Callum hovering above her, worry in his eyes.

“Callum, what is it? Is something wrong?” She stands up quickly and turns her head to scan the perimeter for any signs of danger.

“No, I’m okay. I actually thought you’d be awake. You said you’d be on guard duty tonight.”

Rayla’s face colors in embarrassment. That’s right. She was supposed to be keeping watch tonight, but fatigue got the better of her. Her limbs felt like jelly from hanging on for dear life on that cursed boat.

“I’m so sorry,” she stammers. “I don’t know how I fell asleep.” She clenches her fist at her side, angry at herself for keeping her guard down. There was too much at stake to lose focus now.

“No, it’s fine,” Callum reassures her. “I actually came to switch places with you. You clearly need to rest—”

“Nuh-uh. I’ll keep watch. You were rowing that boat all day today. Your human arms are probably close to falling off.”

Callum glowers in mild embarrassment. His arms were sore, but he would never admit it to her. Callum never really cared about his physical strength—that was more of Soren’s thing. His new thing—better thing—was magic, and he didn’t need to swing a sword to do magic. Plus, he was content following Rayla, who was definitely the strongest person he’s ever met. She could outrun any adversary that pursued them, cut down branches like they were parchment paper. But recently, he felt like he wanted to look tough for her, rowing the boat without a single complaint even though his muscles screamed in protest. It was a confusing feeling but one he couldn’t shake.

He stands up a little taller, chest out, and waves her away. “Nah, I feel fine. I just need a few hours to relax, then I’ll be ready to hit the water again.”

Rayla groans in exasperation, plopping herself on the ground. “The water…” She shivers, recalling the feeling of being stuck in what she basically considered a moving coffin. “I hate boats,” she grumbles. His bubbly laugh that follows makes her crack a small grin. She likes the way it sounds.

“Yeah, you’ve made that pretty clear.” He smiles. His eyes flit to the tight band on her wrist—her skin bruised and swollen around the edges—and his eyebrows knit in concern.

“How’s your hand?” he asks.

Rayla glances at the binding: a dark promise she made to kill the young prince of Katolis. Prince Ezran, the sweetest, most caring boy she’s ever met, someone who would travel across the world to do what was best for his people. And Rayla’s. Someone she now considered a friend. Guilt threads its way tight around her heart, more painful than the binding that threatens to cut off her circulation. So much has changed since she made that promise. She couldn’t possibly keep it now. She quickly covers the band with her other hand, hoping to change the subject and quell Callum’s worry.

“It’s getting worse, isn’t it?” Callum’s voice is somber, a rare occurrence. He usually approaches conflict with a somewhat naïve sense of optimism, making jokes and elaborate plans with a penchant for the dramatic—I do my spell, you swish your swords, and kersplat! The monster’s dead. But Rayla sees a different side of him when he’s concerned about his friends. He’s quieter, a lot more reserved. Someone who has seen loss, carries pain for the people he cares about. She doesn’t want to hear that voice. She doesn’t deserve his pity—not for this.

“It’s nothing, Callum. Just Moonshadow elf stuff…”

“If it keeps getting tighter, what will happ—”

“It’s fine, Callum,” she snaps. Callum winces slightly, and Rayla feels a pang of guilt. She can’t help but try to shut him up. She doesn’t like anyone worrying about her when she’s the one supposed to be protecting them.

“Okay, okay, I’ll drop it,” he says, holding his hands up in surrender.

Rayla sighs and holds out her hand. “This binding,” she begins, “is a promise I made before our mission. I have to return the Dragon Prince to its home. Then, the spell will be broken, and I’ll be free. Simple as that.” What would he do if he knew?

“Oh. Well, that’s pretty inconvenient. How are you supposed to do cool tricks with your blade with that thing squeezing you?”

“I’m aware of how hard it is to move,” she groans. “I can still fight just as well with one hand.”

“That’s so cool,” he says with unabashed admiration, and Rayla can’t help the blush that colors her cheeks, thankful that it’s too dark for Callum to notice.

“I’ll be fine. As long as I can still hold my sword, it’s nothing.”

Callum nods, sensing that she’s minimizing the pain. Then, his face lights up with an idea. “One sec.”

He quickly trods toward the campsite, and Rayla looks curiously after him. Several minutes pass, and she begins to feel anxious. She’s just about to get up and see what’s wrong when she sees him walk toward her with a small pot they use to cook their game. There’s water inside, and the sight of it makes Rayla cringe.

“Oh, so now you’re bringing the water to me. Woooow, how thoughtful,” she bites.

Callum shakes his head and settles down next to her. “I just scooped some from the river bed. It’s pretty icy, so I thought it might numb the pain a little bit.”

Rayla raises her eyebrows in surprise, touched by his small act of kindness. She didn’t tell him just how much her hand hurt, but he must’ve been paying close attention.

“Oh. Thank you,” she says, awkwardly fidgeting with the band on her wrist.

He sets the basin on the ground between them. “Here.” He reaches for her hand, and she gently places it in his. Something flutters in her stomach as he guides it into the water.

The cold water shocks her nerves at first and then she feels a tingling, numbing sensation that makes her breathe a deep sigh of relief. She beams at Callum, happy that it worked.

“Better?” he asks with a warm smile.

“So much better. Thank you.” She looks into his eyes and is overcome by a wave of sentimentality. Here he was, holding the hand that was raised to kill his kind. So blissfully unaware. So…human. And yet, there was a wisdom to him that she’d underestimated. Just like his game of questions on the boat, his gentle touch was his subtle way of showing her that he cares. They may not always see eye to eye—Rayla’s stubbornness saw to that—but still, he cares. In his own small, human way.

“Thank you for helping us get this far. It’s the least I could do.”

Rayla can’t stop thinking about her hand in his. “Yeah, well, I’m not the one rowing the boat,” she offers with a shy smile.

Callum notices he’s still holding her hand and quickly withdraws his. He clears his throat, drying his hand on his pants, and hopes she doesn’t see him blushing. Rayla’s face grows hot, and the fluttering sensation spreads from her stomach to her chest. Callum gives a wry smile when he sees her frazzled expression. For once, she looks like a normal girl…er, elf girl, he thinks.

“Let’s travel on foot tomorrow,” Callum says. “My arms really are about to fall off.”

“Thank you,” Rayla sighs in gratitude. “I can show you how to hunt game, if you’d like. That way we can split up and cover more ground.”

“I like that idea. My dad would like it too. He always wants me to go hunting with him.”

Rayla averts his gaze, her chest weighing even heavier with guilt. His father, the king. Gone. She can’t bear to tell Callum as he wistfully talks about making him proud.

Callum notices she’s gone quiet. “Rayla, are you okay?”

Rayla nods, swallowing the lump in her throat. “Yeah. The water’s getting warm. I should go back to night watch. I slept way too long, and who knows what’s lurking out here.”

“Please, let me. You look wiped out. You were even drooling in your sleep,” he teases.

“Ugh! Moonshadow elves don’t drool in their sleep. It’s unbecoming.”

“Right,” he smirks. “Well then, I better get back to check on Ez. And our egg...friend.”

“I’ll stay up, Callum. Go to sleep,” she instructs.

“I will. ‘Night, Rayla.”

“Good night, Callum.”

Callum walks away, smiling to himself as he thinks about the look she gave him when he retracted his hand. Almost as awkward and embarrassed as he felt. His newfound ally—No. Friend.

Rayla quickly scales a nearby tree with low-hanging branches, getting a birds-eye view of their campsite. She watches him walk away, hugging himself to stay warm in the cold night air. She looks at her bruised hand again, tries to conjure up the feeling of his warm touch. It’s a feeling she’s not quite comfortable with, one almost as alien as her new human friend. But also a feeling she doesn’t want to forget, and some part deep inside her hopes she’ll never have to.

TDP Umbrella Academy au

In collaboration with @itsgoingdownforreal

Beware of SPOILERS BELOW

- First thing off the bat, Callum is Vanya 100% you can’t change my mind

- Who is 5? Aanya. 100%; Aanya could and would stab a bitch for a good reason. And would be smart enough and more than willing to sass Viren (as we’ve already seen) (First i thought Ezran but Emi was like Em no Aanya and my whole world went upside down bc yes)

- So who is Reginald Hargreeves you ask? Of course it’s Viren, who else?

- Soren is Luther. Just the whole muscle, strong, big masculine shit but not being experienced in any sort of thing and being awkward is just- it’s Soren ok? But also being a sweet sunshine child(also Soren I’m so sorry I kinda dislike Luthor but you wouldn’t be as much of a complainey boy as him dw)

- Rayla? Diego? Knives? Sass? Fed up with Soren? Vigilante? Need I say more?

- Ezran is Allison but without the whole Allison Luthor shit bc number 1 ew incest and number 2 ew Soren is Luthor in this, hell to the no. Instead of I heard a rumour, it’s “a little bird told me” because of his connection to animals. This also plays into the whole Allison and Vanya sibling-ship, with Callum and Ezran. Callum finally snaps bc he hurt Ezran and he would never do that.

- Callum is Vanya bc of the whole “I’m not special, oh wait I am” stuff, also the whole artistic side, so instead of the violin, it’s his paintings (plus I can imagine Harrai with the whole pool scene at the beginning). Also the whole being confined thing similar to the whole dream sequence he had. And the panic attacks, etc.

- Hazel and Cha Cha are Runaan and Aaravos respectively, and Runaan falls for Tinker which will never not be cute

- Only problem is who is klaus and ben but then it hit me, Corvus is 100% Ben. Just the whole ‘do i really have to do this?’ and ‘can we go home now?’ and just being a soft book boy, but also being fucking badass at the same time

- I was so torn between Corvus being Dave and Gren being Ben but Emi and I went with Corvus bc I have more ideas with Dave!Gren. With the whole Corvus and Ben being like kind of sarcastic and physically punching her because he’s her right hand man, and someone she; “after countless battles and secret missions, Corvus earned Amaya’s trust forever” (thanks tdp official website), which brings me to who I want to be Klaus-

- Amaya. No, she doesn’t turn to drugs. No, she doesn’t go into rehab. She puts her efforts down into fighting, into being a true member of the Umbrella Academy. She and Soren are the Umbrella Academy team that stay behind. But Viren benches her for being too violent, letting her emotions take control. 

- In this au Amaya becomes deaf from an explosion that killed her sister. She doesn’t start out adopted as a baby by Viren, and instead joins when her parents realise she can see her sister’s ghost.

- The three ghosts she sees the most are; Gren, Sarai and Corvus. It’s Sarai that kept her company, guiding her while Gren was still alive, and helping her make friends with him when she had no others. It’s Corvus she becomes friends with- a soft spoken tracker who has a talent for fighting and shares her interests and oh my gosh he knows sign language. And give me the angst where Amaya can’t call or signal for a medic bc no one else knows sign language- and give me Gren signing ‘I love you’ as his last words to her, and saying them as he signs them.

- Mom is still mom bc I love her and I wish she was my mom (me? not talking to my actual mom? it’s more likely than you think)

- Pogo is Harrow, but like instead of a monkey he’s a human sized bird humanoid that was originally called Pip- do you see where I’m going with this ;)

- Janai just is the handler but she wears suits instead of dresses bc Janai is a suit kinda woman thank you very much

- Claudia is Leonard bc she has a thing with Callum and also she wanted to be a part of the Umbrella Academy but Viren said that her powers were too dark and she escaped when he tried to contain her and dampen her powers like with Callum

- She knows about Callum’s powers because she remembers going through training with him bc they were the most dangerous and she remembers that he had powers so she’s confused when he shows up and just...doesn’t?

- Also I live for dark!claudia

This is all we have so far but we’ll probably make a part 2 soon

If anyone has any extra idea/headcanons feel free to add them on!!
