“i felt that five had to have a love story” okay steve !! fine. i’ll humour you. picture this : lila and five in the subway. they’re travelling to different timelines, loosing hope, trying to find a way home. then they get to a timeline and five sees dolores. but she’s a human, not a mannequin. he falls for her. loves her. wants to stay with her in her timeline. and that’s why lila has to force him to come home. she has kids, a husband, a life. five wants to stay with dolores more than anything. but he goes home, back to his timeline, because he knows he has to save his family. because he loves them more.

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.

the fuck was bro thinking?

[golden-redhead]

You see, the biggest problem with this is that Five HAD a love story all along.

His love for his family has been THE very foundation of the show and what kickstarted the entire chain of events.

He spent 45 years in the apocalyptic wasteland because he loved them too much to give up.

He found them in every possible timeline.

He reversed time for them.

He became an assassin to get a shot, however small, at coming back to them.

He’s been through countless timelines, doing his best to save and protect them in every single one of them.

No matter how dire the situation, he always pushed to find a way to save his family. His devotion was stronger than anything and there was no line he wouldn’t cross for his siblings. No matter how self-destructive the cost, he sacrificed himself again and again just for a chance at reuniting with them and saving the world so they could live.

It was a destructive kind of love, yes, but also inspiring. I think it resonated with many people because love can be intense, we love and want to be loved with this kind of intensity and dedication.

So, to throw it all away for a romantic subplot that no one asked for is not only a huge disservice to Five’s character but also goes against everything he represents. We already knew he’s capable of love and that he loves deeply.

I don’t understand how the showrunner who worked on the series for 5+ years can say that Five had to have an arc like this. It doesn’t make sense. He already had a love story. Arguably, the most beautiful and deepest of them all. He didn’t need more, what he needed was to have it returned and to finally settle down after multiple lifetimes of putting his life on the line to keep his loved ones safe.

To say otherwise means that the writers fundamentally misunderstood what made Five a great character and what fans loved most about the show. It feels like a betrayal, because it is one. It proves that the creators not only misunderstood the core character of the show but also never paid attention to the fandom and its preferences.

There’s a difference between catering to the audience and what they ended up doing, which is a character assassination at its worst. And it’s not just the character who was ruined but also the entire premise of the show, the reason why fans loved it in the first place. There’s no coming back from something like this.

what was the point of lila thinking home was a feeling she didn't deserve and could never earn until she found diego. what was the point of them finding deep, meaningful love in each other. what was the point of lila opening her heart and confessing that all she really wanted was a family with him.

what was the point of developing diego and lila over two seasons, creating such a beautiful, chaotic bond, just to destroy it for no reason.

Steve blackman i will never not have time to drag you you fucking bitch. You not only ruined a good show with your shitty choices for the fourth season and cut back 6 to 4 but you also blatantly ignored david castenada who tried telling you in the nicest way possible that that fuck ass choice of making a love triangle was uncomfortable and weird. I can't look at any of the interviewings for season 4 because I can feel this thick tension that is awkward between all of them. But lets not just talk about that lets talk about your fucking controversy that has just appeared of you allegedly making a toxic bullying work environment for your staffers. 12 anonymous people gave complaints to HR about your fucking behavior. You pitted staff against each other making an angry and untrustworthy working environment. Oh lets not also talk about the fact there were complaints of your ass making lewd remarks that people said were sexist, homophobic and transphobic. Elliot page praised you for your fucking handling of his characters transition but other sources say you also would praise your team and staff in public and than go behind there back and bully them in private you fucking two faced scumbag. You also would ice out your own fucking staff if they didnt fall in line with what you wanted or would blatantly get rid of them. How fucking power hungry do you have to be to do that shit. Lets not also forget that you were a bastard to a poor pregnant woman who didnt tell you she was pregant when she was hired and had to go on maternity leave so you failed to extend her contract because she didnt make it your business she was pregant you fucking creep. You gossiped and talked shit about your own staff but really you should praise them since they're there to help make this show run. Their there to make this whole operation not fucking crumple and you’d think you’d give them some sort of respect but you wanna act like a little bitch and whine and cry when you dont get your way and get called out when they dont wanna do something that is uncomfortable for not just them but everyone else. Let's also not talk about how you did not give proper credit to those who made scenes and stories for the show and took all that credit for yourself. Your a fucking piece of shit that couldnt come up with your own ideas so you stole everyone else’s because your unoriginal and had nothing good to input within the conversation. On top of all that, I think people should check your computer because you had no problem making a creepy relationship between two vastly differently aged actors. Aidan Gallagher is freshly of age to depict mature romantic relationships within tv shows and you instead of finding someone who is more closely to his age you pick the actress that he GREW UP AROUND. HE WAS A CHILD WHEN THEY FIRST MET. But also fuck Aidans parens too for not maybe coming out and saying that this is fucking creepy. Maybe they where silenced and paid off to stay quiet but looking at Rob gallaghers creepy and controversial fucking behavior anyway, i dont think it took much for them to be silent. The fact that you deny any and all allegations of any of those claims and your representatives tried to save your ass steve and than there was a investigation which surprise sur-fucking-prise was less than comprehensive. You probably paid those investigators off to get off your ass and have your representatives scrambling so you don’t get cancelled and you keep lining your pockets with money that you probably stole from your staff too since you wanna steal their work. so might as well double it and give it back to yourself, right? . Fuck you and everything you stand for steve blackman you toxic, manipulative, predatory, creepy fucking bastard. Fuck you.

𐙚ABOUT FIVE AND LILA

Honestly, I don't consider myself the biggest Five & Lila shipper, but I really can't stop thinking (with much affection and endearement) about them both.

Two young beautiful souls, kissing so fondly, loving so beautifully as if they found a refuge.

It's really heartwarming, really sweet. As a Five stan, I couldn't help but cry and cheer for him on the couch as I saw him finally being loved. It's anguish, torturing seeing him lost in space-time again, but seeing that this time he had someone to take care of him was overwhelming.

Aidan and Ritu did an amazing job in their scenes. It's really been my favorite arch in the whole season and it really shocked me that people reacted negatively. Of course, cheering or no for the ship is personal, but I think some opinions are kind of unfair with the characters development, because it was such a beautiful plotline and made so much sense with their psychological situation.

Anyways, that's just a vent of random thoughts, not a big elaboration about the characters and their relationship yet, but I really wish I could see more of them. Oh, its so agonizing and frustrating to know that a lot, lot of their (and the season's as a whole) scenes were cutted off...

reading anything that steve blackman has to say regarding five and lila’s plotlines in season four like

[imjustasmalltowngirl]

stripping lila pitts, the best add-on character of the show who feels like she’s always been there, of her agency and turning her into five’s cottagecore wife and then a token for five and diego to fight over until their final breaths…oh i’m not…i’m not happy about it thank you very much

[laurrelise]

pov: you’re a writer for season 4 of the umbrella academy and on the very first day, that day being april 1st 2022, steve blackman asks “okay everyone, any ideas?” and you think it would be funny to pull an april fools joke and say “what if all of the siblings sacrifice themselves for no reason at all and we also pair together two of the best characters of the show, ruining multiple relationships, again, for no reason at all” and laugh hysterically and all the other writers also laugh and you look up and see steve blackman in the corner like this

“but steve what about the plot holes!!!”

“but steve what about the fans!!!”

“but steve what about the fact that this is the most underwhelming, terribly thought-out (if thought-out at all) and genuinely devastating end to an overall beautiful and well-made show!!!”

See, if they REALLY NEEDED to do the whole Lila Five thing they could've still done it and have it be meaningful, well received, and important to Fives character by simply making it one-sided. Five could've fallen in love with Lila in those seven years, but never acted upon it because 1) it's his brothers wife and 2) she doesn't feel the same way. This could result in multiple emotional arcs for Five where he realises that there are things in this world he can't control. He's always so used to being able to go back and change time and timelines to bend to his will, but this time, he just let's it go. He realises that fate is fate, he can't change that and THATS OKAY. He would also realise that he has severe attachment issues due to feeling like his father abandoned him as a child, and also feeling like he abandoned his siblings as a child, and try and work on that in the future.

And, most importantly, he wouldn't have betrayed his brothers trust. He would let Lila go because he KNOWS Diego loves her, and, no matter how attached he's grown to her, he would sacrifice his love for his brother any day.

Then Diego could've found out, and felt betrayed, but then Five could reassure him and tell him that there is nothing in this world more important to him than his family, and therefore he would never act upon his feelings. This way, fans could sympathize and maybe even relate to five, he would become an even bigger fan favorite due to his selflessness, and it would do his character some good.

But...that's not what we got. We got Five being a homewrecker, Lila being a cheater, Diego being betrayed by the people he loves the most, Lila being a predator, and a complete character assassination of Five Hargreeves that ultimately added nothing to the plot.
