[ID: two lineups of the Paranatural AU versions of the Commission characters; one set ten years ago and one set in the present of the au.
Ten years ago: only part of Carmichael's head is a fish tank; Herb has a dad-stache and is wearing a button up with a v neck; Dot has no glasses and her hair isn't pulled back; the Handler has longer hair and is wearing a typical Commission suit; Five is a teenager instead of an adult; Cha Cha has longer hair; Hazel has longer hair and a fuller beard; and the person who runs the commission, who is God in TUA, is a cowboy and a horse instead of a little girl. End ID.]
A look at the Paranatural au version of the Commission! They do basically the same thing as the Consortium in Paranatural (aka who the fuck knows not me, something to do with keeping spirits in line) and it is also similar to the Consortium in one other important respect that i will get to shortly
Some notes on designs:
reminder that AJ is a medium (person who is possessed by a spirit), and mediums (and tools) look more and more like their spirit over time. ergo, he has more human features ten years ago.
the handler probably wasn't management ten years ago, so she has to make do with the regular uniform
five probably wasnt actually in the commission ten years ago (tho he WAS already a spectral) but hes here anyway for thoroughness
i almost forgot to put hazel and cha cha in here which is a crime
hazel is 100% the guy who had a ponytail when he was 21
cha cha's spirit power is this gun she found
and finally
the little girl god runs the commission in this!! of course she does!! why didn't i think of it sooner. In the webcomic, the consortium is run by a mysterious medium whose spirit is a wight.... except it turns out theyre not actually a person at all, but a construct made to look human by a very very powerful wight. Every so often the wight 'retires' the current construct and installs a new one; thus, the little girl is the commission's current model, and cowboy god from the comics was her predecessor!
#tua#the umbrella academy#oh god why do i draw ensembles like this#five hargreeves#the handler tua#hazel and cha cha#hazel tua#cha cha tua#aj carmichael#carmichael tua#herb tua#dot tua#god tua#little girl god#other design notes: too many of these people smoke my god#also i still need to figure out what exactly that wight's power is#the sandman's power in the comic is kind of central to how the consortium even functions#so if i change it i would have to do a lot of restructuring#but if i keep it the same thats BORING#like sandman's power is control over dreams so they all go to work when theyre asleep#maybe to have business meetings they all fucking die and the afterlife is the commission and then god resurrects them#god that would be so fucked up lmaoooo#my art#paranatural au

Let that old man retire and live with his family!!!
#i don't think he will get an li#like in order to make it work with his age fuckery they'd have to age him physically#and have someone who's also mentally older than they physically are#but still the idea haunts me#i am a huge aroace five truther but even apart from that I think romance just doesn't work for his storyline#and esp in the last season where they're going to have to bring his arc to an end romance would just get in the way#five hargreeves#number five#tua#the umbrella academy#season 4#s4#tua s4

Can't believe this show just said that yeah these broken children that have finally managed to claw some semblance of family out of the train wreck their psychotic father made of them, these children now adults, don't get peace, they don't deserve it. actually the world is so much better without them in it. They are the direct reason why so many people they have met are not living happier lives and the universe would be a much happier safer place with them gone. They were pawns in their father's game and now they are victims of their "mother's" scheme. And this is all they get, there was never any happy ending for them in the cards the universe rebukes their very existence and it is constantly trying to write them out of it.
They doomed the world from the start, the blame is all at their feet and they must pay for the crime of being born "special".
The fucking implications of that my god!
That's the message you ended your show on. That is what you are leaving us with. Why?
#not even a group hug? really?!?!#what are the impilcations of this steven? what are they huh?#KC watches#the umbrella academy#the fact that the handler is alive well and thriving while the girl she abused for years had to die for it is so ughhhhhh. The implications#I still don't get what Reggie's wife was trying to prove shit wasnt going to happen to you purposely kick started it and for what?#to show reggie that you feel guilty for destroying your world by destroying another world?#would have been better if she was just a straight villian because what? what are you sincerely yapping about#God I didn't think this would make me so angry because honestly I'm all for the occasioanl tragic ending#the don't look ups where you gave it your best shot but it just didn't work out but that was handled so much fucking better than this#also the message in that movie is a fucking warning what are you trying to warn us about steve? Emotionally underdeveloped adults are bad?#God I'm not trying to accuse anyone on the show of some underlying ism#but come on not a single person was a little bit concered about the implications? the fucking implication my god#god I'm going to make a longer post about my general thoughts soon#tua season 4#tua#tua s4#tua spoilers#hargreeves siblings#ben hargreeves#five hargreeves#allison hargreeves#luther hargreeves#diego hargreeves#lila pitts#umbrella acedmy#hargreeves family

my ranking of tua seasons
1. Season 1
2. Season 3
3. Season 2
season 3 has the most rewatch quality for me even tho i think story wise season 1 is much better. season 2 was good and i really loved all the characters and development we got but (and this is based off my rewatch from last year bc i only jumped in at season 4 this time) it fell flat for me. though i would definitely watch again i would probably gravitate more towards season three on a casual watch and not a binge.
#there's still so many questions i have that i have that i would need to do a full rewatch to get all them#but my biggest question is WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE SLOANE ?!(!( 😭😭#also yes im pretending tua s4 never happened#most of it is not canon to me bc of how badly they butchered it#tua#the umbrella academy#klaus hargreeves#diego hargreeves#ben hargreeves#five hargreeves#allison hargreeves#luther hargreeves#viktor hargreeves#lila hargreeves#taus on tv shows#taus on tua#taus on umbrella academy#wish netflix would scrub s4 from history but then the actors hard work would go to waste 😒

Me, thinking about how, ultimately, The Umbrella Academy was basically just a weirder/wackier less cohesive version of Dark, but how the ending in Dark feels like such a triumph and a relief, while the ending in TUA just feels depressing.
#dark#dark netflix#anti tua#anti the umbrella academy#i'm actually not anti tua#i still like the show overall and i even quite enjoyed season 3 which a lot of people didn't#i just don't think it stuck this particular landing#and by that i mean... most of season 4#but i'm tagging those anti tags for blacklisting purposes#I could explain this more in depth and WHY this storyline worked in Dark and didn't (imo) in TUA#but i feel like if you watched both shows then you already know why#tua spoilers#tua season 4 spoilers#tua#the umbrella academy#the umbrella academy season 4 spoilers#the umbrella academy spoilers#dark spoilers#dark netflix spoilers

tua3 was so tough. within the year it after it came out -- june 22 2022 - june 22 2023 -- just 2,679 works under the fandom tag were updated on AO3. that may seem like a decent chunk, but compare this to the relatively even distribution between july 31 2020 - july 21 2021 (the year after season 2 came out), where 5,326 were updated, and february 15, 2019 - february 15, 2020 (the year after season one), where there were 5,637. tua used to have one of the most vibrant, collaborative, active fandoms i've ever had the pleasure to be in, and the sheer mediocrity of season 3 seemed to just take a wrecking ball to that community pretty much overnight. literally cut its fanfiction output in half. still makes me sad.
#and this is works updated. like people are abandoning their fics. ive never seen a fandom implode so badly.#i still keep up with a couple of fics but i don't engage with tua much anymore and it just makes me sad.#it consumed about 70% of my life during lockdown and now i barely care about it :(#the umbrella academy

it really does suck knowing that s4 is absolutely rock bottom dogshit because I’ve truly loved this show so much. I was there from the first trailer and watched every season as soon as it came out, and I can’t even bring myself to watch beyond episode one of season four. and there was a noticeable decline each season, with season three being the only one I didn’t rewatch, and now we have this. and yeah shows can end badly but like. it almost feels like blackman and the writers mocking the fans. just putting in no effort at all. they’ve made me embarrassed to have loved this show so much. season one is still incredible, so there’s that, but like. idk I just feel humiliated. it’s not that I think they set out with the mindset of “let’s fuck over our fans” I think they just didn’t care at all, like d&d with the end of game of thrones
#rambles#I still love the characters and cast so much#and the crew’s hard work is incredible#but the show never tried to live up to s1’s standard#it sucks. I’ve loved this show for five years#this is the only fandom sideblog I’ve ever had#I’ve written more fic for tua than for anything else#and I’m not even going to finish the show

An Update!
A Preview:
“Well, well, well—what do we have here~!”
Delores?
In the darkness, Five could make out a woman’s melodic voice.
He attempted to open his eyes, but the world was still spinning. Even trapped behind his eyelids, he could feel the swirling vortex around him threatening to drag him back under.
It felt like water running down the drain.
Isn’t that a Tom Petty song?
He could feel the corners of his lips pull up, amusement tickling his senses.
He could just make out movement above him. Or was that the elevator? He was on an elevator, wasn’t he? He scrunched up his face trying to focus but found the spinning to be far too great. He couldn’t seem to feel anything else besides the strange rotation. Maybe he could feel the earth move under him?
Wait, that’s a song too. Carol King. How did it go?
A cool hand brushed aside the hair that had fallen across his forehead. He found himself smiling as he leaned into it. It felt wonderful against his heated skin.
“How on earth did you end up passed out in the lift of all places, old man?”
Who is that?
He tried to place the voice. It was female, he knew that much; It wasn’t Delores’s accent. She’d had the lilting musical syllables typical for Italians. No, this was something else. British maybe? It was definitely familiar. It both delighted and annoyed him.
Five could feel himself smirk.
He could think of only one person in the entire universe that fit the bill.
“Lila?” he murmured, trying his best to open his eyes against the centrifugal force.
He could hear her hum in acknowledgment. “It was so worth ditching Diego to find you here!” she sniggered.
“You ditched him?” Five questioned, giving her a lopsided grin, his eyes still shut.
“Yup!” she popped the ‘p’ at the end. “I dared him to do shots with me Squid-boy and he passed out! I think he’s under one of the tables!”
She burped inelegantly, seemingly surprising herself into a fit of giggles. Five pried his eyes open enough to see her lift a hand to cover her mouth and begin to chuckle once again. “You look a mess, old man!” she declared from behind her delicate fingers.
God, she is the most beautiful real woman I’ve ever seen.
He forced his eyes open, despite the way the light seemed to stab at his vision, just so he could bring more of her into his field of vision.
“Me? What about you?” he snorted.
“I am—” she paused to hiccup, “—perfectly fine—sober as a judge!”
Both launched into peals of laughter, tears running down their cheeks.
Five squeezed his eyes shut once more, rubbing at them.
“Oi, you okay there, Five?”
Lila sounded closer than before.
Five opened his eyes only to find dark brown eyes crinkled in amusement and lined with kohl swimming into view.
She was very close he realized, kneeling on the ground so that she was level with him. Their knees were interlocked, her legs partially spread, and for a brief moment, Five considered lowering his eyes to see if he could catch a glimpse between her thighs.
I wonder if she’d even wearing any underwear.
For some reason, the thought caused a slightly manic giggle to bubble up out of his throat.
God, what the fuck am I thinking? Of course, she isn’t! He mentally tittered.

[ID: a three color drawing (black, white, and teal) in the style of Seth’s illustrations from the Lemony Snicket series All The Wrong Questions. Five and Viktor (both about 13) are seated at the counter of a diner, talking. Luther (in his 20s), who is a patron seated next to them, looks concerned about what he is overhearing. Grace stands behind the counted holding a coffee pot and gazing into space. A missing poster for Ben is taped to the counter. In the mirror behind the counter, a reflection Diego and Patch (both 15) are visible in a booth. End ID]
i really should leave time between art posts for them to breathe and accumulate their fair share of notes, but also i need something to do while im waiting for my onions to caramelize.
In this installment: Five and Viktor meet over breakfast to discuss business, Luther is a Concerned Citizen, Diego and Patch also meet over breakfast to discuss business but in the background, and Grace is NOT a robot and this diner is NOT fully automated no sir. Also as usual Ben's face provides some ambiance, thank you Ben.
#tua#the umbrella academy#luther hargreeves#diego hargreeves#five hargreeves#viktor hargreeves#grace hargreeves#really? grace hargreeves is the tag? ok#eudora patch#the business is What Is This Dastardly Crime And How Are We - two children - Going To Solve It#i still dont know what the dastardly crime is tho which is exhibit A why i dont write fic#i mean yeah in general its Using Children To Farm Eldritch Tentacle Monsters but what are the actual crimes theyre solving#who knows not me#im doing something very fun here which is that ATWQ has two thematically and plot resonant diners#one of them is where lemony meets with his favorite people to have good food#and the other is a weird noir fully automated one where no one works#with the help of grace's just. whole deal. i can do both at the same time!#as per usual almost forgot#my art#guess who didnt tag this with the au tag and forgot for a full month#meeeeeee#snicket five

i will probably make tua4 gifs at some point
but right now i just don't feel like it
#i'm just disappointed#there were a lot of individual little moments i really loved#but it's just overshadowed by all the narrative and plot failures#i'm still processing it#but also i feel bad for the cast and crew who didn't have anything to do with the story decisions#they worked really hard and did a great job with what they had#they deserved so much better#they were failed too#tua spoilers

you can write an ending where everyone/the main character dies and it’s still satisfying. but that is NOT how to do it
#like in persona 3 makoto dies but its still such a good and beautiful and satisfying ending#i feel like they could’ve made five sacrifice himself for the rest of the siblings i think that could work#but dont end it like this#tua s4#tua spoilers#the umbrella academy spoilers#persona 3 spoilers#tua#tua s4 spoilers

"We're just a bunch of weirdos, And Sebastian, he's an honorary weirdo,"
Oooh I did say i had the urge to make an umbrella academy au for this group of losers. So here we are! The group has the powers while Sebastian is just a regular dude, he's just the older brother and helps this group by guiding them and giving them that parental advice they desperately need.
But let me talk you through their powers!
Ryan Seacrest, he has both umbrakinesis and photokinesis, he needs to find a balance with these powers or else he can drive the world into eternal darkness or eternal daylight.
Bo Cadieux, they have the ability to heal each and every wound on their body within seconds, they can also heal other peoples wounds. However this comes with the side affect that they literally take the wound from the person and get it inflicted on their own body instead.
Keira Jones, she has the ability to control the weather, it can be a bit tricky when her emotions are intertwined with it, she tries her best to stay calm so she doesn't accidentally cause a storm or a tornado to rip through the city. She's learning alot about herself with this ability, her autism isn't helping either.
Brooke Atkinson, her ability is basically a sonic scream alongside temporary flight, the result of this is the nickname Banshee. She doesn't necessarily like it, but she isn't gonna complain about it. She talks a bit more quiet because of it, she doesn't want to accidentally hurt someone or destroy a building with her voice.
Kai Williams, his power is Shape-shifting, he's not only able to shape shift into other people but also into animals. He's tricky to pin down when he's really trying to avoid being seen or discovered, but he doesn't tend to use his power as much, he likes himself just fine.
Elysia Sinclair, she has the ability to create portals to any place in the world she wants, this can be useful for travel but also to get away from situations she really doesn't want to be in at the moment. They do require her to concentrate, so in stressful situations it's tricky.
Sebastian Atkinson, he's the older brother of Brooke, an ex soldier who now spends his time as a bartender. He still takes care of the group and always has his door open for them should they need anything or just simply need to crash on the couch. He'll never turn them away.
#the umbrella academy#the umbrella academy oc#tua#tua oc#tua au#umbrella academy#the umbrella academy au#moodboard#aesthetic#oc: brooke atkinson#oc: kai williams#oc: ryan seacrest#oc: keira jones#oc: bo cadieux#oc: elysia sinclair#oc: sebastian atkinson#oc aesthetic#funfact: they have the same powers in their xmen au but Sebastian also has powers in that au#in the xmen au Sebastian is basically a supersoldier and he is still being bothered by the army because of his great work#they just want their strongest soldier back
