Here is my 6k word Umbrella Academy analysis on Season 1 Episode 1 "We Only See Each Other At Weddings And Funerals"
Hope you enjoy!
(Disclaimer: Spoilers for Season 1, 2 and 3. Some points will come off as a bit judgemental towards certain characters, but I truly like all of the siblings, this is simply my observation. You may not agree with everything, these are just my interpretations)
Episode 1: We Only See Each Other At Weddings And Funerals:
It is really sweet how the other women at the swimming pool are comforting Tatiana while and after she gave birth, bringing towels, petting her hair, holding her hand
It has been pointed out many times but I still love the foreshadowing to Viktor’s powers when Reginald is about to purchase him
I never thought about it but Viktor really practiced alone in the Theatre here. Wonder why. The lights were still on so maybe he just saw it as a good opportunity
Reginald dies late at night, Luther’s clock shows 23:28
When I watched this the first time, I immediately picked up on Luther's body hair growth, like with the wound, how he’s trying to cover it and later when he’s alone so I thought in retrospective that the trash bags are partially filled with hair
The weatherman says “little bit of rain potentially later in the week” and it does rain at Reginald’s funeral, which is only a few days after this! (As he dies on 21st March but Five comes back right before the funeral on 24th March) Great detail!
Diego really just snapped that guys neck
Allison's press photo shoot is apparently for Love on Loan 3, with the logo on the wall!
Allison never covers her umbrella tattoo, it is really visible
Allison looking really forced happy, right before a journalist says “Oh! You’re perfect!”
The poster “Recovery is not short and sweet, it is a lifelong process”
Klaus introduction scene and he already wears his headphones
He is immediately established as charming, people are laughing at his jokes, another off-screen person says goodbye to him. He seems well liked
No matter how many times I watch it I get said when the receptionist says “We’ll see you soon, Klaus”
Klaus-kisses-something count: 1. Object in question: the 30 day coin
Luther's chair on the moon, where the light hits the surface and making it look beautiful. Great hint at a later scene where Allison asks him about the moon!
Diego has no idea what normal is for a family. He throws the robbers against family photos, real family photos, not the annual paintings of the Academy. He throws knives, picks them up and they’re covered in blood. No clue that he looks just like the robbers, how is this family supposed to feel safe?
The transition from Allison leaving the press and looking over her shoulder to look at them one last time to Klaus looking over his shoulder as a police car with siren drives past as he makes his way to a dealer
Klaus-kisses-something count: 2. Object in question: drugs
Viktor looking at the news as Reginald’s death is pronounced. He says “Dad” and the photo on the news showing Reginald shows one of the Umbrella Academy group pictures after their Eiffel Tower mission. Watching that hurt, my heart aches for Viktor here
After the Eiffel Tower picture it shows another Academy picture, but this time with only five kids, hinting at Five’s disappearance
Reginald having lizard taxidermies and skulls
I never could quite make sense of the Academy emblem. An umbrella, a lighting bolt, a skull and a domino mask. And the motto is “Ut Malum Pluvia”, apparently translating to “When Evil rains”?
Shot to the sleep observation notebook. During my first watch, I didn't pick up that the numbers were representing the children, I assumed it were experiment numbers. I don't know what he wrote about Allison, but Klaus’s says “no activity for tonight”. So yay, probably means good sleep for him. I’m sure that line either hints at nightmares, OR, more likely, ghosts, that Klaus sees/hears in his dreams, which we get to see in later scenes. Ben’s says ‘seems to be crying in sleep’ which is just so sad, I want to hug him. And Viktor’s says “activity!!!” can't really make out the rest, but there are other posts transcripting the pages, but here’s another clue that Viktor has powers.
The Academy paintings. On the first one, they look a bit uncomfortable, but mostly okay. In the next, when Five is gone, they look so much more tense. In the next one it shows they hate this and they don't want to be here. They look really strained and depressed and angry at the last painting when Ben died
Diego comes out of the room where Grace is sitting, great hint for when it is revealed that he found the monocle on her
Allison didn't seem to be sure that Viktor would come “You’re actually here”. It is sweet how she welcomes him and says “forget about him” when Diego tells him “What are you doing here? You don't belong here, not after what you did.”
So far, Diego and Allison know that Viktor is there
Viktor says “Hey, Allison” while Allison says “Hey, sis”. Sis, our first nickname in this family
Allison can sure shoot one back, quite snarky and can be quite defensive of others, but in a good way. Shows by criticizing Diego’s outfit/leather harness underhandedly
Viktor really seems to be about to leave after Diego’s comment :( Good that Allison reassured him
So now Diego knows that Allison is there, Viktor and now Luther as well. “What's your secret? Protein shakes? Low carbs?” Diego seems well knowledged in health and fitness, later eating a raw egg and criticizing Klaus for using drugs “My body is a temple”. That's surely one way to cope. That is in complete contrast to what they did as children, with Five pointing out they used to snuck out to Griddy’s and Klaus saying they used to huff paint in the basement in season 3. That fact about Diego already shows here with this simple comment
Diego was the first to know Luther was there (beside Pogo, as Luther talked to him already and was told the monocle was missing. Already hinting that Pogo was involved in Reginald’s whole plan). And of course the first room Luther would go to was Reginald’s bedroom. But then again, it was Diego’s first goal too, with him already having checked it out
Diego pulling away the coroner’s report right as Luther was about to grab it because Diego was holding it out to him. Classic sibling behavior. From this moment I knew that any comment about “They’re not really a family, they’re strangers” is a blatant lie
Diego broke into the coroner’s office before this. He IS shocked that it is just heart failure but he accepted it. Luther, not so much
Diego says this about Reginald: “A sad old man in a big empty house, just like he deserved.” Now he is the one being told by Luther to leave.
Diego says to Luther “Whatever you say, brother.” Brother being so more distanced than sis
Reginald really had everything. Comics up top, a bit below that, a newspaper article but also a framed teen magazine cover
Viktor meets Pogo up next and they hug. Viktor got two hugs in one day, the other being from Allison
Grace calls Reginald “sir” in the flashback
In the flashback, Allison stands perfectly straight in the middle, in the left front we have Ben who is straightening his shirt and halfway already in the office. On the right front we have Klaus who is crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe. In the left back we have Luther, who stands behind his siblings and in the exact same spot as in all the Academy paintings. Next to him is Diego, who has to stretch himself a bit to be able to look past Allison and at Reginald. In the left back is Five and behind him Viktor. When they are urged to leave, Viktor immediately makes his way back, Diego and Klaus follow suit and walk next to each other, next it Five and Luther puts his hand on Ben’s shoulder as they walk back. Allison has to be urged by Grace. She wants attention and it becomes apparent why she would become a movie star
Klaus meets Allison first, she’s the first to know he’s there, in Reginald’s office
Klaus really hasn't seen Allison in a long time it seems, but Allison is really happy to see him as she smiles at his antics. I really believe that Klaus is the “mascot” when it comes to dysfunctional family dynamics and for Allison, it really worked. For those that don't know what the mascot is: “This is the child who learns very early that laughter reduces tension and eases stress, and she or he responds to discord in the family by trying to lighten the mood through humor.”
Klaus immediately goes for the hug. Now Allison got two hugs too! The first she gave Viktor, the second she got from Klaus
Klaus really can lie quickly. He wasn't prepared to meet her there, it didn't sound like he had anything planned when he said that he wanted to meet her anyway, but that “I wanted to get your autograph” really came so quickly after that short pause. He could pawn it and says it in a flattering way.
He is so quick to divert from a question. Instead of answering Allison's question about what he’s doing, he goes for the “oh, we haven't seen each other in so long!”
But Allison points out the rehab wristband. She notices shit
Allison really seems concerned when Klaus says “I’m done with all that”, context being rehab
Klaus saying he only came here to convince himself that their dad is dead and Allison giving him a “really?” look. She didn't believe it for a second
When Klaus clasps “And he is! He’s dead! Yeees!” Allison shakes her head and grins. That was the moment she thought “Yep, he hasn't changed one bit, alright. Klaus is still Klaus.”
Klaus really changes in tone fast, from being cheerful and making jokes about Reginald’s death to angry about how they wouldn't be allowed to be in that room if he’d still be alive
Klaus puts his feet in the desk
Reginald has a photo of himself framed on a shelf, not just the painting behind him
“Get out of his chair” are the first words Luther tells Klaus after seeing each other again. Klaus has meet two people, Allison and Luther and Luther met Pogo, Diego and now Allison and Klaus in Reginald’s office
Interesting that Klaus wants to leave when Luther enters the room.
“Save the lecture” Oh, Klaus is so used to getting lectured
“You guys can talk amongst yourselves * chuckles softly*” He is so hinting at their teenage romance with each other
Luther knows Klaus took something, he isn't fooled by Klaus playing dumb
And Klaus looks around again if anyone is there before he pulls out the box. Don't let appearances fool you, he knows how to stay secretive
Klaus-kisses-something count: 3. Object in question: pearl-inlaid box
Luther is the one to say “Klaus is still Klaus” and Allison is the one to say she finds it comforting. Her life has changed so much, she has started to see that her actions have consequences and to see that some things from the past haven't changed? Yes, I can see her seeing it as a source of comfort. Luther does not give a response, instead redirecting to Diego. So he seems to be less comforted by Klaus’s lack of change
The bit about Diego wearing the leather harness in the shower will never not be funny
Luther AND Allison weren't sure if she’d come to the funeral. She really distanced herself from her past, huh
Luther says shit when Allison tells him that Patrick got custody. He knows how much Claire meant to Allison. Also, Luther swears. I see you, “Luther saying ‘Language!’” writers, but it’s not canon
Luther is quick to suggest Allison should use her power, but he is apprehensive at saying it out loud, indicating that he does know that it is not exactly good
Family meeting! Luther sits on the left couch, Diego on the left armchair, Allison on the right armchair and Viktor on the right couch. Luther seems the most comfortable, as if this were truly his home, Diego sits rather relaxed too, Allison sits straight, hands folded in her lap, Viktor wants to be comfortable but body language indicates that he isn't, he makes himself look really small
Allison has a drink
“None of you ever did that?” When Luther tells that he used to sit with Reginald by the oak tree. Diego looks away, probably thinking “Classic Luther”. At first I thought that Diego thinks that Luther is the favorite, but then I remembered that Diego later tells Luther he SHOULD be angry at Reginald for what he did to Luther, so I think he realizes “So he still thinks Reginald is good and doesn't realize how messed up it all was.” Also, Klaus immediately chimes in “Will there be any refreshments?” Before any of his siblings could answer that “None of you ever did that?” Question, which would just stir up all sorts of emotions. Robert Sheehan said in an interview once that Klaus is rather conflict avoidant and it shows. And again, another point towards him being the “mascot”
So Klaus has a drink, a cigarette and also a trophy?
Luther only points out the smoking, not the drinking. Because “Dad didn't allow smoking in here”. When did he establish that rule? I so want to know the history behind it
Allison seems to be so much more at ease after Klaus’s interruption
Diego knew Luther would still believe that it was murder. Viktor does speak up, using logic that the coroner would know. Allison also finds Luther’s suggestion ludicrous, she sees in that moment how Luther can't live without a mission anymore
“Quelle surprise” Klaus is the most likely out of all of them to use non-English words. French, German, Spanish is what I remember on the spot, I'll look out if he speaks any other languages
Also, Reginald communicated with Luther while on the moon
“Look, I know you don't like to do it but I need you to talk to Dad”. Everyone was aware that Klaus does not like using his power. Klaus even looks shocked at the suggestion, his expression saying “Me?”. Allison scoffs as if she knew “Yeah, not going to happen” or couldn't believe that Luther would bring it up, especially in the context that she thinks that Luther is out of his mind with suggesting it was murder
Resentment slips through when Klaus says “Hey did could you stop playing tennis with Hitler for a while and take a quick call”
Luther doesn't even think about the possibility that Klaus wouldn't be able to do it. “That's his thing”. Luther does NOT know why Klaus started using drugs,for which we’ll get even more evidence for in episode 7 when he says he wants to be Number Four because he seems so carefree. Also Diego looks away when Luther says it, maybe because Luther still puts so much focus on their powers, just like Reginald
Everyone except Diego is so shocked and surprised when it’s revealed that Luther thinks one of them killed Reginald. There was definitely some baseline trust in each other
“Way to lead” Diego rubbing salt into the wound because he knows Luther thinks himself the leader of the group. It definitely strikes Luther, so it worked
All of them work out without another word, except Klaus who tells Luther he’s crazy. Even Allison, whose glass is now empty
Flashback to 17 years ago. They were 12 here and it’s 2002. Five disappeared about 16 years and 5 months ago, so he was only in the public for about 7 months
News Reporter is Jim Hellerman from the news station Channel 2 News
A S.W.A.T team is already at the bank robbery
Bank is Capital West bank at Main at Sixth
The Umbrella Academy only made their entrance at this bank robbery roughly three hours after it started
I love this scene so much. Allison so confidently walking up to the robber, Luther running on the roof and people believing it’s law enforcement, jumping in through a window from the ceiling, immediately hitting a guy and throwing him out of the bank through another window. That's a lot of windows they’re destroying. Diego’s knives land straight in that guy's chest
What did Jim Hellerman do to have been in many hostage situations? Is The City just like that? Is it like Gotham, where crime is just that rapant?
The robber from the beginning is standing on top of the counter, pointing his gun at the kids and calling them freaks. Diego, Allison AND Klaus are standing in front of him. I have never noticed that Klaus was standing there too before this rewatch. Luther is standing by the hostages in front of the vault.
The kids are trolling that guy. Diego saying “Be careful up there, buddy” Allison responding “Wouldn't want you to get hurt.” Five also has this humor with “That's one badass stapler.” He is so youthful here
“Do we really have to do this?” Ben, I want to hug you. He does not want to do this. He first looks at Luther (remember when Luther was the one to guide him away from Reginald’s office?) and then at Klaus.
“*Sighs* I didn't sign up for this” Did I say I want to give Ben a hug?
Five seems intrigued by Ben’s… tentacle massacre and then looks at Klaus, maybe because of the possibility that new ghosts could appear?
“*Sighs* *breathes shakily* Can we go home now?” Voice trembling, covered in blood, I am calling CPS, nothing will stop me, I will enter this TV show just to pull Ben out of this
They come out and are already posing, they trained for this moment. Luther is holding a hand up, Diego is showing off a knife, Allison is standing straight, Klaus is leaning on Five, Five is als standing straight, hand behind his back. Ben is covered in blood and looking down
They were so sheltered and given so little free time, so little time to discover who they are, this bank robbery mission for which a S.W.A.T team was called and ended in Ben being covered in blood made Viktor say “Why can't I go PLAY with the others?”
Reginald comes into the picture and Luther is again at his exact same position as always, at the top left.
Some other news stations: WURG, CNR, Channel 9 News
Interesting how they wear their scarves. Luther, Five and Ben all seemingly wear their scarves tucked into their coats, Allison wears hears pretty fashionable with one side hanging out to the front, Klaus’s hangs off to the side on one end while the other falls off over his shoulder behind his back and Diego literally just put it around his shoulders, didn't even wrap it around his neck. No wonder that guy later refuses to use an umbrella during the funeral.
End of flashback, back to Klaus trying to conjure Reginald. Looks like he just took off his shoes. Klaus seems to focus so much on the point that they weren’t related. Earlier with him that Reginald wasn’t their real father so they couldn't inherit his cold dead eyes, now with “[...] my sons, adoptedt(!) sons”. It really makes sense that he wants to seek out his birth mother in season 3, he already puts a lot of focus on it in season 1.
“Big angry ghost lecture” again with the lecture, Klaus is used to getting lectured.
"Eternal peace is probably overrated” they kept that in season 3 when he talks with Rachel, his mom, in The Void. Klaus is so interesting, he has seemingly no long term goals, lives fully in the present moment, but is haunted by his past and also thinks the future is shit (as shown when Five reappears and tells them about the future “Called it!”)
Klaus calls Reginald “Reggie”
Diego and Klaus think very similarly of Reginald. Diego uses “paranoid”, “sad old man”, “monster” as words to describe him, Klaus says “stubborn bastard” and “sadistic prick”. No wonder they get along so well
Allison truly is a girlies girl, they recreated that early 2000s girls room PERFECTLY. That little thing to hang up jewelry, the bright colored nail polish, another container for other accessories, teen magazines, posters, kitchy notebooks and decor, those pencils that aren’t even sharpened yet, the one with the thin plastic wrapping that gets everywhere once you do sharpen them and with the cutesy eraser on top which more destroys your paper and smears the writing all over it instead of erasing it. Huuuh, the 2000s
Klaus is now in the basement kitchen. This is where Leonard and Viktor will enter from at a later point (I’m pointing this out because whenever I watched that scene I never knew how they were suddenly in the house, I assumed it was a shop because it didn't look like the house, now I know). There is a table football and a couch and an e-guitar, which Klaus will later hold right when Diego will announce that he’ll leave
Klaus has another drink. And just took drugs, three to be precise. He seems to be not doing okay. “Three? Okay” to which he laughs but right after taking them he seems very sunken
Diego is a knuckle cracker and fidgets with his knives
I think it’s really sweet how Luther wants to make them all feel connected and cheer them up after ruining the mood. Maybe he already realized here he was too harsh. He did turn up the volume to max, he knew what he was doing with putting on the vinyl here. And he is already feeling the music, moving his hands and head
Luther is a record enjoyer, Klaus is most often seen with his tape player (though he also has a record player in his room. I assume that tapes are just more mobile and he can listen to them anywhere).
This dance scene was what made me fall in love with the show
Diego closes the door before he pulls off his A+ performance.
Allison springs onto and off beds
Five begins to reappear, metal things get pulled away. Reginald’s urn almost falls off the table before Klaus catches it. Klaus also says “Daddy?” Sure, we know that ghosts don't manifest like this. But Klaus has been trying to conjure Reginald, his abuser, so it is reasonable why he’d think that Reginald might appear after all, especially when he isn't fully sober and already not doing that good mentally
Luther is the first to put some scientific reasons on the big blue ball in the sky
Diego calls Luther “Paul Bunyan”
When the electricity intensifies, Luther and Diego are quick to pull Klaus behind them. Luther says “Everyone get behind me”, he clearly sees himself as their protector. Diego says “Yeah, get behind us” he sees himself also as their protector, he has some respect for Luther in the sense he looks up to him, wants to be equals rather than Number Two
“I vote for running” Klaus showing conflict-avoidance again. Or self-preservation instincts depending on the viewer
I like how Klaus is the one to say “Does anyone else see little Number Five or is that just me?” With him already seeing things that no one else does. Also, Klaus uses Five’s full name, Number Five instead of just Five
Klaus is rubbing his show and mouth a lot. Could be a nervous tick or could be experiencing dry mouth from the drugs
Viktor and Five used to be close, Viktor being the one to give Five the date and Five remained rather calm when he just said the day when he asked for the exact date instead. He has a lot more patience for Viktor
Five did that a lot, walking towards someone only to blink with Luther saying “Haven't missed that”
Five has seen a lot. He says that the future is shit so resigned. He says he should have listened to “the old man”, putting the blame on himself
“That makes no sense” “It would if you were smarter” Diego immediately stands up, Luther immediately holds Diego back. He will later do this again when Diego is angry at Five when Patch was killed. Luther is all about preserving the peace between them, that's also why he put on the record
“Nice to know Dad didn't forget me” Five does not seem to see the harm Reginald has done to them but based on that line, I believe that in the apocalypse he thought often about how their dad would probably see him as a failure now, since he did what he was told not to do and couldn't even go back. All of them still call Reginald “Dad”
I’m just imagining old Five saying “ballsy”
Viktor full on believes his whole family hates him
Five responds with that there could be worse things. Worse things being that they’re all dead like what he had to go through, already implicating that he doesn't care what his family thinks of him and his actions just as long as they’re safe
Klaus is smoking another cigarette
Pogo says “dear boy” to Luther
Klaus grimaces when Luther pours out the ashes. Could be interpreted in a number of ways. “Oh that wasn't great.” “The old man will not like that.” to throw out a few
Diego’s anger continues to brew as his face twists and and looks up away from Pogo when he asks who wants to speak. The words are already forming for him
Klaus is keeping his feelings about Reginald bottled up, going straight back to his cigarette
Diego begins to look over again when Pogo says “[Reginald] was my master”. Strengthening his feelings about how they weren't children to Reginald, how he saw himself as above everyone
Allison looks down and seems annoyed when Diego says “My name is Number Two” in response to her calling him out. She probably thinks back to Ben’s funeral, where he wasn't all that different. “Classic Diego”
Viktor also cares about Mom. When he first entered the Academy, he said “Mom?” As soon as he saw her, here he says “No, it’s okay, Mom” when she asks if they’d like something to eat. He also thanks her in a later flashback when she compliments his music and is against shutting her down
Allison already notices that something is not right with Mom “Is Mom alright?”, Which explains why she would be pro powering her off
Diego really out here pulling the string cards with calling Luther “Number One”. Luther probably saw it as an offense towards him, but I think Diego said it more as to “Look, he didn't even gave us names! He gave us numbers”
Luther does no go down to that level, still calling Diego “Diego” but he is the one to start the physical fight
Diego calls Luther “big boy” in the fight. Twice
This time, Klaus is all for the fight, chanting “Hit him!”. He did laugh at Diego’s proclamations about their father
Allison seems so disappointed and also resigned in those two when they destroyed Ben’s statue in the “They never know when to stop” sense
This time, Viktor does not back down when Diego says “Got enough material for your sequel yet?” He does not let Diego get to him
Klaus really makes sure that everyone is gone before he says his words to Reginald.
Putting out your cigarette in your abusers ashes in the ultimate “Fuck you” move and nothing will ever top it
Reginald’s quote in the flashback to one of their training days basically boils down to “You are stronger together than on your own.” In the bank robbery flashback he says in response to if he cares about their well being “Of course. As I am for the fate of the world.” I think he knew that an apocalypse would happen but I don't believe he knew the cause. In a later flashback with Luther and Allison in the greenhouse, he isn't angry about them spending time together, he’s angry that they do it outside of their schedule
This is where Diego’s fear of needles comes from, getting their tattoos
Klaus and Allison already got their tattoos, Diego is currently getting his done, so they’re out of order. I thought maybe the last one got theirs first, the first one to make it to the top gets theirs last but Diego was right behind Five on the staircase race. But maybe Luther and Ben managed to overtake him?
I just think it’s really sweet how Klaus is holding Allison in his arms as she’s sobbing while he is also still distressed and in pain from his own one. He cares
Diego doesn't even let himself be comforted by Mom
Luther also seems so agitated about being next, he tries to hide the fear but isn't successful
Ben tries to calm himself down but he’s pretty nervous and as is Five
None of them had any fun here
Reginald raises them by the rule “You are stronger together than alone”. But completely excludes Viktor from all of this. Of course he’d feel isolated. But it also means he sees these terrible things happen to his siblings, like the bank robbery mission and tattoos, and sees it as a game, as a group activity that he is left out of. I do believe he’d take the pain if it’d meant he’d be one of them
It is so freaking creepy how Reginald will just sit on their beds while they sleep and put on the electrodes.
I first thought everyone had their own color for the cables, but some are clearly used twice. Luther has blue, Allison yellow, Viktor’s is white which is a great hint as his comic code name “The White Violin”, Klaus is black (shocking for the guy whose powers revolve around death), Five is red since it’s coming from the staircase leading up top but no idea which colors Ben and Diego are
Luther sleeps on his side, Allison sleeps half on her back, half on her side, Five sleeps on his stomach, Viktor sleeps on his back
I think this is the first time we see Viktor use the pills? Could have sworn it was earlier but I don't think so
Viktor takes his pills and goes back to his earlier mind set, when he did think Diego was right, he shouldn't have come
Viktor really cares about others. He cares about Mom, he tells Pogo to take care of himself, he later compliments Helen
“Dad hated caffeine” “He hated children too and he had plenty of us *laughs* *immediately stops and grows serious*” Again, a sudden mood change from Klaus when talking about their father. Also, it’s really sad how Klaus is telling the truth here, because Reginald literally says in season 2 "I have a deep dislike of children. I do not have them, nor do I intend to have them". So Klaus seems to have a good idea about how Reginald truly was. Rehab did seem to have some effect
Klaus peaks up when Five says he’ll get in the car. Like he knows that Five is in a 13 year old body, so he isn't legally allowed to drive. But he is also so curious.
Klaus is also barefoot. Good reference to his comic version, where he can only use his psychic powers when he isn't wearing shoes
I love that Diego’s and Allison’s love language for each other is roasting. “See you guys in, what, 10 years when Pogo dies” “Not if you die first.” “Yeah, love you too, sis. Good luck on your next film”. We got our first “love you”! Aaand it was 100% sarcastic. Also, Diego calls Allison “sis”!
That “Hope it turns out better than your marriage” comment hit hard for Allison, she immediately left after it
Even though Diego is a pretty health and fitness focused guy, he still takes out one mini marshmallow from the bag that Five left out earlier when he made his sandwich
Diego’s face when he’s in the car and Klaus enters. That screams “Not this again let me have one second in peace”. Diego is used to Klaus but not to his antics. But he doesn't throw him out
So, Viktor left, Klaus knew about it, Five and Allison where in the room when he announced it, Five left with Klaus and Allison still in the room, Diego entered, Allison left, Diego left, Klaus left, Luther saw Klaus and Diego leaving in the car
I love Grace, great character. Often robots in fiction are said to have their own agency, but this show really questions that narrative. Does she? Or is it her programming. But here when she looks at the paintings she mimics that woman in the painting, looking at her with longing and awe. It looks like she wants to be that free, go see the places in those paintings which she never got to do under Reginald
Five’s forced smile at Agnes reminds me of his comic version
Five could have gone anywhere to get a coffee but he chose Griddy’s. A place with memories. Good memories. With siblings he cares so much about. Siblings which he saw dead. “Simpler times”. I think Five thought a lot about them in the apocalypse. Regretted some of his actions. “Shouldn't have done this” “should have done something” “should have said something” “should have told them”. All those should have’s.
On the side of Griddy’s is a sign with “Dunfield Plaza” and next to it is another sign with other shop names. Those being “Dry cleaning”, “Astro Typewriter” and “Grand Mutual” and under it is another LED sign with “Warton’s convenience 24h”
Five’s fighting speaks for itself
Five didn't finish his coffee
Diego is holding the monocle above the water, thinking about Luther’s words. He is conflicted about clearing Grace’s innocence with dropping it. He knows something is up with it. But he also wants to protect her
First time Klaus is referring to himself as “we”, with we meaning Ben and him
Here we have the scene that led to fanfic authors making Klaus obsessed with waffles. Despite “You like waffles?” “Of course you do, everyone likes waffles” and Ben even nodding. But that’s the curse of a character mentioning liking a food once
Diego had the police radio on his car hood so he’d here if something came up
Klaus does drum rolls
Klaus knows about Diego’s vigilante activity “breaking bones and cracking skulls?” which does sound rather negative. He doesn't seem to be in favor of it. Comes with them being raised to kill and him seeing corpses that have broken bones, pieces of them missing, etc.
Diego responds with “Saving lives, baby”
“I guess it’s frozen waffles again” I hope you don't eat them frozen /j
“I could do egg and bacon but I’m trying to cut down on my pig products.” I am leaning myself out of the window and throw a wild suggestion out: Could be interpreted as a hint towards Dave. Dave is Jewish and pork is not kosher
Diego is putting on the mask in the car
“You are so weird” Viktor to Five. Another peak sibling behavior, love it. You have each other back not even a day but you are already back to being siblings
So Viktor knows Five was attacked and that the world will end
“I’ll put on a pot of coffee” Miniscule detail, but he couldn't have known that Five wanted coffee since he already left when Five was searching for coffee in the Academy which led to him driving to Griddy's. I guess the usual person would say “I need a drink” when they find out “The world will end in 8 days” BUT Viktor takes medication, so coffee is probably the next best thing, especially since the day has already been exhausting
And there we go! First episode over!

Hello, I am back (I am sad and I have a headache) Could I humbly request Pluvia 🩵 please <3
I know this was like a week ago but I hope its better now 😭
I'm gonna prescribe a dose of a soft perfume so as to not make a headache worse.
Ok so, the perfume I'm gonna give you it's not really available everywhere, actually I don't know where to find it.
A few years ago I went to a mall where there was make your own perfume store. The perfume that i chose was this perfume called
"One thousand for women" and It's my top perfume out all the expensive and non-expensive perfumes.
Ut has earthy, flowery tone and it smells like I just rolled around in a field of flowers. But it's also elegant and screams "royal". So there you go!!
(My bottle is almost finished I really hope I can find the perfume again, I genuinely love it!)

Translating some of the Latin words used in The Dragon Prince!
Tumblr media
“Lady of the Depths” — very poetic. Straight out of Arthurian legend.
Tumblr media
This one sounds better in Latin, in my opinion.
Tumblr media
Shade net? I get the “shade/shadow” part, but not the “net” part. Why would you name a mountain “the shadow net?”
Tumblr media
Very pretty name, and an apt description of the Sunfire elves’ capital city— before the events of TDP season 3.
Tumblr media
This sounds SO COOL. The space nerd in me loves this.
Tumblr media
This is definitely another good one. I would definitely use this spell.
Tumblr media
A+ for alliteration. Also: the word “plover”— a type of shorebird— comes from the Latin word “pluvia” meaning “rain.” I’m not sure what connection plovers have to rain (besides living beside water), but it’s an interesting connection.
Also: have some plovers! My favorite real-life rain birds!
Tumblr media
Common Ringed Plover
Tumblr media
Snowy Plover
Tumblr media
Killdeer plover
That’s it for the picture limit, sadly. But seriously. Go look up plovers. They are just about the cutest shorebirds in the world.
As an amateur scientist (I don’t have any official qualifications, but I do know a lot about it) and an autistic person, Latin is one of my special interests. It started with learning the meanings of the scientific names in my bird books, and learning the mythology behind the names of stars and planets. I was very happy when I started rewatching Dragon Prince and realized how much Latin they used in that show. It only makes me want to take a Latin class even more now.

@pluvia-b tagged me! Sorry to be so slow! I'm finally getting my brain back in gear after some med changes.
Rules: Look back on your work, both past and present, finished and unfinished. What are five to ten narrative elements or tropes that continuously pop up in your work?
This is a hard one for me because I've written so much and I don't like to write the same thing in all my books. So the tropes listed are those that appear in at least three books, rather than all eighteen.
1. Ghosts
I love me some ghosts. The Bone Queen is about ghosts. School of Souls is about ghosts. Court Phoenix is about ghosts. Mind you, these are vastly DIFFERENT ghosts and plots and couldn't exist in each other's worlds. But the theme exists.
2. Asexual characters
I got plenty of these but in particular Court Phoenix has my beloved Chujulan and The Many-faced Princess is about two asexual princesses (one sex-repulsed and the other sex-neutral.) The others are less obvious to the reader.
3. Female main/POV characters
Uh, all but Triangle Park have a female main character. Sorry boys.
4. Strong female characters who don't use weapons
I love a female character who kicks ass even if she's not physically strong. Examples: Elise in the Bone Queen, Antea in Stitches and Memories, Mindral in The Halfway Revenant, Zisha in Cast Out. These ladies may decide the fate of the world, but they use their brain to do it.
5. Strong female characters who can fight
We have to have some of those too of course. Nelone in As Immortality Fades, Chujulan in Court Phoenix, Ameryi in the Many-faced Princess, etc. These ladies know how to fight and kill but it doesn't define them completely.
6. Romance that doesn't focus on physical attraction
As an ace who doesn't fall in love easily, I love to write romance but not the lusty kind you find in a romance novel. It's all about connecting, baby. I do a mix of F/F (As Immortality Fades, Cast Out) and F/M (The Bone Queen, Stitches and Memories, The Halfway Revenant) romance.
7. No romance at all
Sometimes an ace doesn't want romance. I gotcha. The Court Phoenix and the Many-faced Princess have zero.
8. Dragons
Look, I don't always have dragons but sometimes a girl needs a big lizard, okay? Stitches and Memories and Court Phoenix will scratch that itch. I'm going to include this point even though it's only in two books because dragons are cool.
I hope that's enough things! I'm leaving an open tag and also tagging @aziz-reads and @mysticstarlightduck.

The Lily of the Valley.
Name : Cordelia Erina Age : 20 years old Date of Birth : 19th of Pluviae, 1101 Place of Birth : Pierra Luna, Virýllos Face claim : Yamuraiha from MAGI
Cw tw // Abusive parents , mention of death
Little Cordelia was an average girl with a happy and content life with her mom and dad. Living in a port town in a central country, her family relied on the sea to trade and sell goods abroad, making it the main source of income. Although they were not a noble family, they never ran out of food at the table thanks to her dad's skilled business style and her mom's crafty hands. Her parents were both magicians, yet they never discriminated her nor the people around. They thought of people equally regardless of their titles, magic, or race. She was showered with love.
Things went good until her father died all of a sudden due to a heart attack when she was 7 years old. From then on, things have started to go downhill for her. Having lost her dad from such a young age, she had to mature well as her mom was rarely home. She had to do everything on her own, down to doing chores around the house and even did cook on her own. It was the turning point on her life for the warmth around the house was replaced with the coldness. Her mom became a stranger as they never exchanged words.
One day when Cordelia turned 10, her mom came back home with a strange mark on her forehead, which she later realized it was a mark left by ANMA because her mom violated one of its law, leaving her powerless as she was stripped off of her magic. That made her mom devastated and depressed, as magic was what accompany her in dad's place. Again, Cordelia was left alone without the company of her mom despite they stayed under the same roof for 24/7.
That was not all to it. When Cordelia manifested magic at the age of 12. Her mom who found out about it despised her. She told her that she stole her power, leashing out on her and treating her harshly, not even given any meals or drink until she fainted as a form of punishment for the manifestationㅡ she was even diagnosed with malnutrition when she later saw a doctor accompanied by her mentor whom she met when she was on a run to leave her house, no longer was she able to hold on both her mom's treatment and the neighbors' harsh gossips on their family.
Cordelia met her mentor when she was 15. After miraculously enduring 3 years of abuse, she met a good person who gave her a new life, whom she called Master Grinn. She was treated with kindness and warm that she longed for. Her master also taught her magic, guided her, and changed her belief that her manifestation was not a curse but a blessing from The one true God, Tsiuri. The name Cordelia Erina also came from herㅡshe told her it would be a new start for her, praying that her heart would be peaceful and rest easy from then on. A peaceful heart, that was what her name meant.

worldbuilding question: thoughts on houseplants?? :3
Oh that’s an interesting one.
I’ll go by realm. (This got long as a result)
Umbra has the most variety of plants people may keep indoors, because their plants are hardy and already thrive on little to no light. They’re also very pretty since many are bioluminescence so they would be popular as decorations. Generally hardy flowers from Umbra's forests are favored, although larger flowers that thrive around their rivers are also a common choice due to their size and beauty.
Ignis has a mesh of Umbral traditions and their own, so some of the same would apply to them, and they’re close enough to Umbra that plants could be imported. However Ignis is significantly hotter and drier than Umbra, so keeping plants from Umbral alive take more work. Likely only the upper class would have the inclination to do so, especially since many members of the upper class are still descendants of Umbral settlers. Those who follow more Ignan traditions would typically have more succulents and other hardy dry plants indoors. Some southwestern parts of Ignis that get more rain are also major crop producers due to extremely fertile soil—not exactly house plants but in the same category imo.
The daemos of Lux’Lucius would have indoor plants specifically conditioned to be small, manageable, and thrive with lots of direct sunlight. Often they will also have been bred specifically with beauty in mind. For instance they have a small tree—much like a bonsai—with glittering crystalline leaves that refract rainbows when in direct sunlight, making a rather beautiful display in small rooms where the rainbows can shine across every wall.
Pluvia has two different traditions of houseplant depending on if it’s a part of the realm on an island or underwater. The daemos of the Pluvia islands actually do not commonly keep houseplants. They’re more likely to decorate with shells, waterbird feathers, seaglass, and colored sand in small vials. Those who live in the underwater villages of Pluvia, however, do sometimes make use of houseplants. Commonly in parts of Pluvia in more shallow water, they will have a room with a glass ceiling, to let in natural sunlight. In these rooms often various kinds of moss are used as a decorative feature, grown in twisting flowing designs. Also, not a plant, but often coral is grown and cared for in an open section of the home, along with any fish that naturally live within it. The fish and coral are cared for as one, and have become domesticated over centuries of care from Pluvians. Sometimes they are kept to be farmed for food, but often they are merely nice to look at.
Solum’s natural plants are primarily cacti and hardy shrubs. Some Solumni keep flowering cacti around their yard, but rarely inside. The only plant commonly kept as a house plant in Solum is a plant similar to Aloe, which is kept more for its practical uses than for its decorative qualities.
Almost everyone in Ventus keeps house plants. Harmony with nature is a strongly held belief by most daemos in Ventus, and it shows as much in their villages and homes as elsewhere in their lives. Most Venti villages are built amongst the branches of the enormous trees of their lush jungles. The sky bridges and lifts used to navigate the villages often have flowering vines growing around them, by design. The interior of buildings often incorporate the natural shape of the tree. Buildings around trees that bear fruit often have branches of the tree integrated into the design of the building, so that the fruit can be tended and plucked within the home as needed. Ferns and large vibrant flowers from the jungle floor are also often kept in Venti homes and even businesses. A beautiful home with many thriving plants is seen as a point of pride to many in Ventus.
Tempestas has a harsh environment, even more-so than Solum or Ignis. Virtually everyone in Tempestas are from somewhere else, or are the children of those who came to Tempestas. As such, their culture is a mesh of the other realms. Those who have just arrived didn’t typically bring much with them, and certainly not houseplants (most people come to Tempestas fleeing something—be it the law, persecution in other realms, or another person). However, those who have lived in Tempestas for longer, or were born there, find ways to bring their own culture into the home. Those originally from Ventus in particular tend to find what plant-life they can and cultivate it in the home. There is not much in the way of trade in Tempestas besides for food, as few other realms recognize them as legitimate and most traders are afraid of being mugged there (whether this is a fair fear to have or not is arguable). So most plants need to be native to Tempestas—usually around its boarders where conditions are less extreme. In much of Tempestas, especially the innermost parts and the border along the ocean, only low growing plants can thrive, as the wind and frequent thunderstorms tend to rip from the ground or set alight taller plants. There are, however, native grasses and wildflowers, the later of which are popular amongst those who want to care for a plant in their home. A few former Venti daemos are said to even be cultivating these flowers to try to encourage certain colors, and may eventually try selling them and making them more ubiquitous.
The saers of Aurorius favor plants with large flowers with bright colors. Tall standing flowers—similar to sunflowers, but with less hefty flowers and more than one per stalk—are often seen near the windows of homes in Aurorius. Aurorius has a healthy trade with the Mid-Realms, so many upperclass saers will import more varied flowers from the human realms.
Levvitan: Like Solum, much of Levvitan is desert. Unlike Solum, the largest settlement is within an oasis. The shifters and animas who live there often keep succulents and hibiscus. More dedicated plant owners sometimes also have a small kind of fig tree that can be grown inside for part of its life, until it is large enough to need to be transplanted outdoors. Levvitan also trades with the human realms and Aurorius, allowing for non-native plants to be kept inside, so long as the owner can care for plants with different environmental needs. Green houses are also often used in Levvitan to grow plants from Ventus and other tropical locals.

1x07 background details:
In the opening flashback sequence that shows Harold’s backstory, he had a cereal box and if you look closely you can see that it’s Clever Crisp Cereal. 
Five is not present during Harold’s flashback.
I’m not sure how many of the siblings titles are confirmed in-canon, but in the flashback you can see fan made posters/signs with “Spaceboy” and “Seance” on it.
There’s also a poster in Harold’s things that has a Rumor Has It pun for Allison so that likely confirms her title too.
Tumblr media
Ironically, by humiliating Harold and sending him back home to his dad, Reginald created both the fuse and the bomb.
Harold had a suitcase. He got all dressed up in his uniform and “came all this way” and jumped the fence and told Reginald about his birthday because he wanted him to adopt him so he wouldn’t have to live with his abusive dad anymore.
Harold stole the Reginald doll/action figure in 1x06/1x07 because it was the only one of the set he didn’t have as a kid. Also, he made Vanya a little wooden figureine in 1x03, which almost symbolically completed the set for the whole family.
Tumblr media
I’m not sure what the other book is, but Harold has A Series of Unfortunate Events amist his things.
I have a hard time reading Reginald’s handwriting but it’s dated 2001 and it’s about Klaus and the mausoleum. 
Tumblr media
This really isn’t a background detail, I just find it hilariously ironic that Five says “we have to find (Harold Jenkins)” and he’s literally in their house at that very moment.
It just makes me sad no one noticed that he kept holding his side and winching.
Tumblr media
Five limps through the whole episode and checks his side at least 3 times.
Diego starts stuttering when he’s talking about Eudora with Chuck behind the police station.
This is a slightly ambiguous and questionable detail, but if you listen closely it almost sounds like Five grunts quietly in the background while Allison calls Vanya and whispers something that sounds (to me) like “I’m okay”
Luther: I sacrificed everything for him. My entire life. I never left this house. I never had friends. And for what?
I wonder what the inside joke is with O Captain My Captain, because that poem is actually quite sad.
Tumblr media
I’m not really sure what Cha Cha’s feelings towards Hazel were supposed to be, but earlier in the series she says they agreed to be “in it for the long haul” and it’s Hazel’s “simple life with a partner” speech that makes her decide not to shoot him. He talks about the birds that mate for life and about how the male brings the female food. In the next scene Hazel asks her if she’s hungry and she says “I could eat.” Perhaps that line was there for her to misinterpret. Idk 🤷‍♀️
IM SORRY BUT FIVE IS VERY OBVIOUSLY LIMPING AND GRUNTING WHEN HE GETS OUT OF THE CAR AND USES THE STAIRS FOR SUPPORT SOMEBODY HELP HIM PLZ
Idk if it has any significance or references to the siblings but the number on Leonard’s door is 147.
Tumblr media
I repeat, Diego knows how to pick locks. He picked Five’s van lock in 1x04. Maybe he chose not to because of his arm, but still lol
The name of Vanya’s orchestra is St. Pluvium Chamber Orchestra. Pluvium means rain in Latin. (Ut Malum Pluvia)
Tumblr media
Hargreeves all share one (1) brain cell because Allison, Diego, and Five all simultaneously say “shit” when they see their defaced/melted dolls.
There’s blood dripping down Five’s knee right before he collapses.
Tumblr media
In both versions of Wednesday, Grace calls Diego “Diego, dear.”
When Klaus hits his head and ‘dies’ you can hear a bell toll in the background. Bell tolls are generally associated with death because they’d toll the church bell when someone died.  (“for whom the bells tolls”)
The barber shop where Klaus finds Reginald is called Nite Owl Barber Shop
On the door it says “barber banter may offend”
The portraits behind the barber chair are of Luther, Diego, Reginald, Dave, Five, and Ben. There are more pictures on the opposite wall, I don’t know who the other two men are, but the bottom one maybe almost looks like Vanya? More specificly one of her Extra Ordinary photo shoots? Idk, just a thought.
Tumblr media
Cha Cha calls Hazel “shitheel” when she wakes up handcuffed
Diego hits the seat in the holding cell he’s in after getting arrested for Eudora’s murder. So basically yeah, I think sometimes he hits/punches things when he’s distraught.
Okay but I love the way that sequence of where all the siblings are at the end is cut together. You see the eyeball on Five’s desk as he sleeps and after that it immediately cuts to Vanya and it’s revealed that Leonard’s eye is missing.
