Some words about Diego and Lila Hargreeves.

Lots of you is young and/or never been married and it really shows. In a lot of ways, i'm like Lila. Almost the same age as her, two kids, SAHM for five years. I don't have superpowers and i was neven an assasin, but apart from that, yeah.... And let me tell you, if my husband treated me like Diego treated Lila, i wouldn't need seven years in interdimentional limbo to leave the marriage.

So, here are married woman thougths about their marriage, in no particular order.

Diego is missogynist. That one was apparent in season one already, when he turned off Grace (who He claimed he loved) because she showed one (1!) small malfunction. Makes you think what He would do if his wife got seriously sick.

He didn't say single nice thing to Lila until the last episode, and even then he "changed" because OTHER MAN told him to.

From season two, He showed reluctance in letting Lila take the lead in any form, from dancing together to calling the shots in a life or death situation. This caused them to fight even under active shooting.

Lila was one foot out from beginning of season 4. She was exhausted, overwhelmed, quite literally at the end of her rope. And everytime she tried to comunicate this, she got silenced, her feelings ignored and Diego always twisted her (reasonable) complains into direct attack on his person. They wouldn't worked out long therm without Lila getting pregnant right at the beginning. And the kids only slowed down the inevitable.

We may argue S3 Diego would never (which i digress), but unfortunately, we got what we got and we have to work with canon characterisation.

Seven years is long as time. I don't think people realize how long. Fivelila haters like to act as if they had "typical" affair, but the truth Is far from that. It's longer than Lila and Diego knew each other, and given the circumstances of those seven years, it would be wierder if nothing had happened between them.

Lila has way more in common with Five, than she has with Diego.

Woman have the right to leave unhappy marriage. Your kids are your number one responsibility (which Lila demonstrated over and over), but you don't have to sacrifice yourself to be a good mother. She didn't mention coming back to Diego, it was always about coming back to her children.

I came across the argument why would Lila hate her suburban life with Diego, but love her cottagecore life with Five. This boils down to who you live this life with. Her unhapiness wasn't rooted in the suburban lifestyle itself, but more in the person She shared that with. Where Diego only saw mother and caretaker, Five saw equal partner. She was happier with Five, because he treated her better.

People call Five a homewrecker, but the home was wrecked long before Five got into the picture.

It’s November and I’m still destroyed by the Umbrella Academy ending, spoilers ahead.

Screw them for making Five/Lila a romance thing.

Screw then for what they did to Diego

Screw them for what they did to Klaus

Screw them for taking everything I loved about Umbrella Academy and leaving it out of season 4.

Screw them for ruining the characters and their relationships.

Screw them for not letting Luther find Sloane.

Screw them for building up Diego/Lila for two seasons just to torpedo them.

Screw them for reducing Lila to a love triangle plot device rather than the badass she was.

Screw them for changing Fives whole character.

Screw them for not showing us 6 episodes of sibling bonding, shenanigans and fun, intelligent plot lines that keep me excited.

Edit -

What gets me more upset is the fact that they keep blaming the cut from 10 episodes to 6, but I can promise you if that was the plot and you just gave me 4 more episodes of it more in depth we’d still be having this conversation.

It makes it so much worse because they knew what normal was, they had glimpses of it but they never got it. They were given half an hour a week to be normal then got forced back into being experimented on…

I absolutely LOVE the fact that the Hargreeves siblings DID have toys despite what you read in fanfics.

They had big, plastic lego bricks! They had crayons and colors and paints! Klaus has childhood drawing up on his desk! Viktor said he himself had action figures! Five had robot figures and toy vehicles! Luther had paints and plane model kits! Allison's room is the classic teenage girl room with jewellery and quirky pencils and boyband posters!

We never got to see Ben's room and Diego didn't have anything that outstanding beside a dartboard, but it still shows.

They were kids. They had some idea of a childhood. They had the things and got to do the stuff like all the other kids.

But it doesn't take away from the pain or trauma they had suffered.

To being completely stripped of something is one thing. But they knew what children should do, what other people did when they were kids. Because they were allowed to as well!

But all the comfort was never able to shield them. It made for some good memories mixed into the bad ones

Umbrella Academy where everything is the same, but these are Diego's knives:

[emelinexxxxx]

Diego : you need a hobby

Klaus : I do have a hobby

Diego : being depressed isn't a hobby

Viktor, from a distance : it isn't?

Five, sipping on a margarita : well that sucks

[lgorstheme]

not taking criticism or notes at this time

you're laughing. The umbrella academy's final season destroyed every character's personal growth and semi-healed traumas, left huge plot-holes, completely abandoned some of it's most beloved side characters that were crucial in previous seasons and you're laugh-oh. You're crying. My bad. Go ahead. Let it out. Understandable.

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY — Final Season, August 8 2024

[twobraincells-art]

The 8th of August, 2024

Two mistakes of the universe go for a walk. Despite this, the universe doesn’t chew them up and spit them out. It lets them be. They deserve it, after all.

It’s a lovely day.

new fan here, finding out this image exists. im in love with it.

people in comments said that five needed a sweater but my hc is that everyone lost a bet and he won. he looks so smug.

[lookingforhappy]

do you ever think about how the siblings died in the house where they were abused, that they were never able to reclaim from that abuse

how luther died still stuck in that house, having failed to live outside it and failed to make it a home

how diego valued the people more than the house, and yet he dies without his mother or children, with a wife and brother who cheated him

how allison spent her life building new families with new homes, but was dragged back to the house she was abused in to die there

how klaus spent almost every day there high or drunk, but once he was sober he died there

how five spent 45 years longing to go home, to feel safe there, but home was where he died

how viktor ran as far as he could from that house but ended up dying there anyway

how lila searched her whole life for family and comfort and belonging, and instead died in a strangers home

Looks like a cinnamon roll but could kill you: Five

Looks like they could kill you, actually a cinnamon roll: Luther

Looks like a cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll: Viktor

Looks like they could kill you, would kill you: Diego

And an additional one:

Looks crazy, is crazy: Klaus

Season 4 of tua is the opposite of fan service. Fan disservice if you will.
