4, 8, 12, 14, 16 and 17 for the TUA asks!!

buckle up folks because this got long! it is my nature to be overly thorough about the wrong things and now i’m making it your problem. i’m gonna indulge and i’m gonna indulge hard.

4. What do you think all the siblings’ favorite bands are?

luther: his tastes are elcectic! the boy just likes music and is open to trying pretty much anything!

diego: maybe some like industrial or post-hardcore stuff like nine inch nails or fugazi, or perhaps something like public enemy or wu-tang clan. and don’t tell anyone but he will secretly listen to joni mitchell and other sad lady with guitar music.

allison: she likes motown and 60s girl groups! and she will also listen to some stuff like the fugees and tracy chapman. and when she wants to get amped she’ll listen to bikini kill or something.

klaus: he’s gonna be listening to some gothy dark wave music like the cure or siouxsie and the banshees. he also probably likes gals like debbie harry and kate bush and patti smith. but then there’s also that interest in nina simone and i think he would also be into 60s girl groups.

five: a hard one! i don’t think he has much individual music taste what with his apocalypse stay, and when luther finds this out he makes it his personal mission to give five a music education. eventually he ends up liking tom waits or something.

ben: ben would need smart lyrics and something kind of arty and low key depressing. like the talking heads or magnetic fields. but also let us not forget that he’s a secret pop music fan and remembered backstreet boys lyrics like 20 years after the song came out.

vanya: she’s got her interest in classical, orchestral type music of course, but she’s also into some folks like fiona apple or sharon van etten. and sometimes she’ll let loose to sleater-kinney and the like.

8. Let’s say all the siblings lived in apartments that allowed pets. What would all their pets be? (Bonus: What would they name the pets?)

ok so it is my personal feeling that all of the hargreeves are Cat People, and for reasons unknown to me it is a very strong personal feeling. in fact you might say that this is my hill 689... because it is the hill i will die on. sorry i’ll see myself out.

luther: i know it’s popular to give luther a tiny kitten, but please consider luther with a big ol’ maine coon named Toffee who he treats like a tiny baby. she sleeps on his chest and they slow blink at each other and luther bought her a Cat Stroller and takes her for walks around the neighborhood.

diego: a tiny gray cat he found crying in the alley behind the gym. he doesn’t want to appear too attached so she is just ‘the cat’ and he refuses to acknowledge that he increasingly thinks of her as My Cat and would stab anyone who looks at her wrong

allison: a large long-haired cat who hangs out in a basket in a spare room and hisses any time someone other than allison so much as looks at the room. he tolerates claire, who named him pancake.

klaus: black cat, obviously. he and dave name her jimmy because they are saps and will always remember that jim morrison was playing when they first got together.

five: is it a sin to deny five mr. pennycrumb the dog? well i’m gonna because it’s time for mr. pennycrumb the cat, who is a chaotic, cross-eyed, Head Empty Nothing There cat. Five unapologetically loves and would kill for mr. pennycrumb the cat and no one understands it.

ben: he has a ghost cat named adelaide who likes to sit on high surfaces with him. is ben perching on the counter again? watching klaus and allison smoke in the alley from above on the fire escape? well there’s adelaide the ghost cat loafing right next to ben.

vanya: enormous orange cat living out his senior years with vanya. he has sad eyes and likes to spoon and will let her know loudly when he wants tuna. his name is louie.

12. What sort of games do you think they played as kids?

pretty much anything they did was bound to get competitive and overly tactical. like they played hide and seek and it turned into a day-long high-stakes battle of wits and stealth. but also allison convinced reginald to buy them some classic 90s games like mall madness or something. they all went hard playing this even though they’d never been to a mall in their life.

14. If you could give the siblings’ middle names, what would they be?

i thought about this question and i decided that they would all be weirded out by the concept of middle names! like it felt like a special gift when grace gave them their names and they never even thought to want a second name on top of that. later they meet people with middle names and they’re like hmm seems fake but ok.

16. If instagram or twitter existed in the UA universe, what would all their handles be? 

luther: he’s nothing if not earnest so it’s a straight-up @LutherH

diego: yeah he’s gonna be something like @XXkNivES_ouTxX

allison: she’s got her celeb status so she’s @allisonhargreeves

klaus: something very random and nonsensical like @bedazzledhamsandwhich

five: does not fuck with social media

ben: @readmoretalkless which klaus found dull and tried to get him to change to @thewhorer

vanya: she’s keepin it simple and is @vanyaviolin

17. What celebrities do you think the siblings’ have crushes on?

i’m gonna say that none of them have celebrity crushes, for a variety of reasons, but mostly because they are just tuned out of that whole scene. they grew up in the public eye and probably interacted with folks with a certain level of fame, and have since wanted to distance themselves from that. allison of course has had to continue to be part of that world for her work and could absolutely fake niceness and interest as she needed to, but i don’t think she genuinely enjoyed it. especially now after the media completely dragged her for the patrick situation.
