#also thinking about lila copying sparrows' powers and aiding the umbrellas in a fight

[stupidcanofpeaches]

so now that we have the official release date for s3 i think that the timing is right for me to infodump what i wanna see happen (but it probably won’t) - five gets some sleep. and maybe someone also makes him eat a decent meal for once that’s not a sandwich or straight-up alcohol idk. that poor man had absolutely rotten horrendous two weeks, i think he deserves a break. no idea how he’s still standing tbh.  - a hug. that’s it. five getting a hug would be worth it all just on its own. everyone else got at least one hug so five not getting one too is just cruel at this point. please. he deserves it. - okay, a hug and maybe also a nice heartfelt thank you. that would be nice too. - five also has a breakdown and i kinda sorta want to see it even more than i want to see him rest?? i refuse to believe that he’s not actively spiraling into some sort of full-on nervous breakdown. plot-wise, he just saw his family die. maybe a few hours ago at most. the timeline is a complete burning dumpster fire. this has got to be such a sucker punch when for once everything seemed to be going just fine.  - speaking about breakdowns, maybe this time the reason for some sort of Universe Catastrophic Failure is five, not vanya? he manipulates time itself - imagine him imploding under all that insane stress and the time itself just collapsing, random portals opening up, people getting instantly turned back into nothing or thrown forward into piles of ash and dust. i’m just saying. the potential for some major horror is there. - the barn scene. t h e  b a r n  s c e n e. can we please have an on-screen talk about what happened in the barn. please. he’s the sole reason they’re all still alive, can we acknowledge that and just how massively traumatic it had been. or can we at least have some consequences of that?? maybe his ptsd gets worse, nightmares, his paranoia is through the roof and the flashbacks are worse than ever. maybe he’s terrified to let them go out of his sight in case they die somewhere out there and five is not there to turn the time back and save them again. maybe he starts drinking again. i want the siblings to learn about it and then be absolutely heartbroken by the realization of just how much five has done for them. - speaking of consequences, homeboy got a skillet to the head. you cannot tell me that this doesn’t look like a concussion. not to mention the shrapnel wound that has to still be there and all the bruises he must have after the fight with the swede and getting buried under the bricks.  - of course it is also entirely possible that just like in the comics five had been uhhh reinforced and augmented by the commission. would be nice if that got referenced or something, if that’s the case. maybe that’s why he’s so good at withstanding all kinds of physical damage, because otherwise determination or not that wall of bricks alone sure looked like an er trip.  - "the world is my jungle and i'm the gazelle!" - so are luther and five twins like in the comics?? because a confirmation would be just. so funny to me. just look at them. big silly man and small angry man.  - some whump please. whump and comfort. maybe the siblings have to save him from the sparrows at some point. maybe he’s simply just so incredibly tired he can barely walk and luther simply picks him up, ignoring all and any protests. i will take anything. - brainwashed sparrow five! brainwashed sparrow five!! i wouldn’t be surprised if reggie had developed an interest of sorts in him - five was the only one he showed respect and attention to in the 1960s, and five certainly left a lasting impression on him. five is also the most vulnerable to his manipulations: not only was reggie pretty much the only person who listened to him, treated him as an equal and actually offered some useful advice (one that ended up saving both five and his family), but also because five, unlike the others, simply didn’t have the chance to get completely disillusioned with him. all this time, reginald was right, five was not ready to time-travel, and i’m sure that the lifetime of remembering that last conversation five had with him before the jump just hammered the point home. if the siblings turn on five under all that stress, thus alienating him further, five would be just. ripe for the picking. - unlikely but  c o m m u n i c a t i o n. no more going off doing things on their own. actually talking.  - and since it seems fairly unlikely to me i’m fully expecting to see everyone turn on five as the main reason for all of their recent problems. imagine the pain.  - thrift shopping scene cause they do have to get the new clothes from the promo pics from somewhere. klaus riding around in a shopping cart, five being exhausted and miserable and grabbing the first fitting suit he finds, diego acting like he’s way too cool for any of this but secretly loving it, vanya and allison having fun trying to find something that fits luther at all. just. an emotional break for all of them. with some nice 80s soundtrack. - throughout it all five’s height is never mentioned by anyone.
