Relenting
pairing: sparrow!ben x reader
warnings: angst, mentions of death, sparrow!ben is an asshole as usual, some fluff if you squint
notes: haven’t posted on this blog in forever but the new teaser brought me back from the dead so here’s this
summary: the world is ending and ben thinks it’s time to enjoy what’s left of it
You swirl the glass of champagne in your hand and watch as the alcohol begins to whirl around the cup. There’s a slight breeze in the air, but it’s warm and strangely comforting despite the current circumstances. The music from inside faintly reaches your ears out on the balcony, and though you feel slightly guilty for missing out on such a momentous occasion for Luther and Sloane, you can’t bring yourself to go back inside. What’s the point? Your time on this earth is limited, dwindling with each second that passes, so why bother trying to act like it isn’t.
An unwelcome presence joins your sulking figure outside, and you don’t even bother to spare him a passing glance. You think you hate him, or at least you want to hate him, but it’s hard to despise the man who shares the face of your long lost love. Blame it on nostalgia or pathetic longing, but there’s still some small part of you that believes he could be just like the boy you knew and loved in your youth, even if he hasn’t shown it at all in the time you’ve gotten to know him.
Finally acknowledging his presence, you take a swig of your champagne before retorting, “Don’t you have to go be an asshole somewhere else?”
“You’re hilarious,” he replies in a deadpan tone, and you don’t have to look at him to see that he’s rolling his eyes in annoyance. You like how easily you get under his skin, and his sarcastic remark prompts the smallest quirk of your lips.
“Yeah?” You reiterate with a small shrug, eager to push his buttons in any way you can. “My Ben used to think so too.”
“Would you shut up about ‘your’ Ben, already? It’s pathetic,” He snaps in irritation, obviously set off by your remarks. “All you do is whine and complain about what a jerk I am instead of realizing I could help you out if you’d just help me.”
“By pretending to be your dead girlfriend? No thanks,” you scoff with a wry laugh before downing the rest of your drink. It burns your throat, but the discomfort is almost soothing in a way. It’s a type of pain you can control and inflict upon yourself out of your own volition. You haven’t been in control of anything since becoming wrapped up in all this apocalypse time travel nonsense, and you grapple for any semblance of it whenever possible.
“It’s not pretending if you technically are her,” the Sparrow insists adamantly, faltering for a moment as he adds under his breath, “albeit a more whiney and uptight version of her.”
He immediately ducks when you chuck your glass in his direction, narrowly missing his head in the process. You wish you had Diego’s precision so you could hit the desired target of his face, but the look of bewilderment on his features is good enough for now. You wordlessly turn to head back inside and rejoin the wedding festivities, because forcing yourself to act like attending wedding at the end of the world is normal is much better than spending another second out here with him, but his firm grip on your wrist halts your movements. If you really wanted to you could break free from his hold, you’re a better fighter than he is and you could easily use your abilities to overpower him, but you make no attempt to do so. The touch is familiar, comforting despite how hard you try to deny it, and you’d like to savor it even if it’s not right.
“The world is ending, and there’s no going back,” he reminds you, the gentleness of his voice almost scaring you. It’s a jarring contrast from the usual sharpness that he speaks to you with, and you’re not sure if it disgusts or comforts you. He sounds like your Ben now, and the realization prompts your breath to hitch in your throat.
“What do you want from me?” You demand with a lack of conviction, your previous confidence dwindling as you morph back into that same scared little girl who once thought she could never survive without the boy she loved.
“I want to spend whatever time I have left on this shit hole with my y/n, even though I know it’s not really her,” the Sparrow relents in defeat as he comes to terms with his fate. “Don’t you want to spend one last night with Ben?”
You remain silent, your lips held together in a firm line and your brows creased in thought as you digest his words. This man is not yours, not even close, but he belonged to another version of you in this timeline, a version that is currently buried six feet underground. This entire time you’ve done your best to fight the urge to give in to him, to let yourself play pretend with the Sparrow and act as if tragedy had never struck the Umbrella Academy. With the world coming to an end, did it really matter now if you finally relented to his pleas? Didn’t you deserve to be happy, too?
Taking your silence as rejection, Ben slowly begins to release his hold on you. However, he’s taken by surprise when you immediately throw yourself into his embrace and pull his face towards you for a kiss. He doesn’t notice the tears that streak down your cheeks or the way your hands tremble as you cup his face; he’s too busy savoring the taste of something that had been taken from his years ago.
As he wraps his arms tighter around your waist, he determines that this time around, he’s not letting go.

relating to five and klaus hargreeves is growing up overly intelligent before becoming everything but when you got older
relating to five hargreeves is doing everything for those you love and still ending up with the blame
relating to klaus hargreeves is the addiction gene
relating to five hargreeves is how they only notice your anger and not your hurt
relating to klaus hargreeves is self destructive behavior that is brushed off as you being your usual self
or mbe that's js me?

klaus's powers were best utilized during that scene in season 1 where he talks to ghosts of the people hazel and cha-cha have killed imo
#this is why i can't relate to people who want him to get all of his comic powers#i just want him to use the powers he already has and talk to ghosts man.#tua#the umbrella academy#klaus hargreeves

it's been over month since season 4 of tua and i'm honestly still baffled and i'm still disappointed i waited so long for that. i still don't have many words but i'm still grateful for all the friends and buddies i've made (love u guys✨) i'm just honestly still confused. i don't think i'll ever rewatch it and i know that sounds dramatic but i genuinely didn't enjoy most of it. apart from klaus and claire bear and they deleted all the meaningful scenes. i was too mean about the ending of season 3 when honestly it's been my biggest saviour cause i can ignore all of season 4 for my own bullshit thoughts.
i did enjoy playing a detective though and coming up with theories.
season four of tua rest in piss you won't be missed.
bye to the siblings though. sucks you don't exist anymore (or do they?)

if i had a nickel for every time elliot page played a character who is extremely powerful, destroys a bunch of stuff (good for them), plays a string instrument, had a punk phase, was raised in isolation, has a strained (to put it lightly) relationship with their father figure(s), went looking for their biological moms only to find out something sad about them, gets a hug from their ghost brother before said brother moves on, moved as far away from their old life as possible to somewhere with a colder climate, and definitely isn't cisgender or straight, i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
#elliot page#viktor hargreeves#jodie holmes#the umbrella academy#tua#beyond: two souls#beyond two souls#is this anything#jodie having a punk phase is game canon#viktor having one is more comic related things that i steal cause they're valid

Five sucks at Math - A Headcanon
This is a personal fav of mine, not necessarily one I think is real in the show, but that I find endlessly funny for an AU and will now provide evidence for.
Sometimes it seems Reggie didn't give Five the same 'break em down' treatment as obviously as he did the others, but boy do we know Five was a frustrated child, so:
Reggie forced this lil toddler to believe his powers were equation-based, meanwhile Five had just Wanted to be in the pantry, what do you mean he needs to do numbers?
As soon as Reggie knows Five is bad at maths, he doubles down - this is why the boy has limitations on his powers that the others don't, Reggie needs to form him into the Correct way of using them.
Five is, of course, useless at maths to the point of near numerical illiteracy initially, not that he Can't learn how to do them with endless repetition and practice, but it does not come naturally, requires a lot of mental energy, and leaves Five extra exhausted and frustrated that he needs to do all this work and One just punches stuff and Two is allowed to work it out from just throwing things not calculate angles (Reggie tried, but we all know he had Zero time for Diego)
That won't stop him from being conceited and prideful: after all the others aren't even doing this kind of math and also it's a defence mechanism.
"Evidence" in the show:
Five can only do so many jumps, and they're very costly to him. The mental strain from calculating even remembered equations on the fly or accidentally slipping and jumping without thinking keeps him tied down.
His jumping is fairly predictable - Lila figures him out in no time, possibly because it was quicker and more strategic for Five to memorise a few set equations than come up with any math on the fly.
He does jump quickly - at what point do we ever see him pause to work out how to avoid being caught in a wall? He automatically jumps away from threat or being thrown (thank you Luther). That speaks to me that it's at least in part instinctual, he defo wasn't doing equations as a bub either.
The most brilliant use of powers Does come at a moment: When he jumps forward at 13, he looks to have no plan for a set destination and just channels his pent up anger and goes. When he rewinds time, he doesn't have time to write on the walls or a book (how we've seen him calculate complex mathematics before) he just needs it and he does it.
Five does not manage to come back from the Apocalypse via maths - now don't get me wrong, It's more complicated than anything I could comprehend and that's very validly the show's reason why. But in the books he Does make it - this Five is bad at math, and he spent horrible years in the apocalypse trying to calculate something he couldn't whilst he was starving and not understanding it.
Why was he forcing himself to find a way out by math if his powers were instinctual? Five says it himself "I told you" he hears in his head every day out there - being frivolous got him stuck, now he needs to follow the rules to get out.
When Five does work it out, he gets it wrong - makes a typo, after having that moment of inspiration. (Again, very valid for Big Complicated Math but stay on this journey with me)
We see him rewind time once, did he stop after this because his abusive childhood training taught him 'shit now I need to work out the numbers before I can do that again don't fuck it up'
Five doing math looks absolutely chaotic (again, many, many reasons for this obvs but lets look at this one) his probability walls produce names out of thin air - where'd you get the names from Five? The phone book? Did the numbers spell that out for you after you'd stared at them long enough? Did you pick some arbitrary people living in the city and work backwards? Complex math yes, but also a brain not wired to do them struggling so desperately to make the numbers make sense. They're meant to make sense. They have to make sense. I wouldn't be in this mess if I had made them make sense the first time-
Five has some little tricks with his powers - swapping a gun with a stapler. That we see him use all of once despite how much of a power move that could be (Viktor's violin? Here's the baguette Klaus was eating) I like to think of this as he found this power instinctually, showed Reginald who Ruined It With Math, and again learned one single practical combat equation that was drilled into him and it was so heinous that he never wanted to play around with more.
SPOILERS FOR SEASON 4.... Five has a doctorate of philosophy on his wall, not a doctorate for math. Powers gone? Awful. No more math? Guess there's the silver lining everyone always talks about.
Anyway, this is just a fun uno reverse that I wanted to write a story about but could never find the full picture for, so here it is.
I liked the idea of in a world with the apocalypse diverted his siblings start to notice Five's struggles with math and gently start helping to re wire that part of his brain that Five didn't have the experience to notice was all Reggie's bullshit.
#tua#the umbrella academy#five hargreeves#headcanon#Five is bad at math#it's like another language to him#I relate#let my number-illiterate Five be free#Reggie would have messed him up so bad with this#Five just staring at a textbook in a mute panic about how he's meant to be the clever one and has to get this right. Shit.

my review of the umbrella academy season 4 is that it's not as good as season 1 or 2 (i'm also ambivalent about 3) and there's definitely some parts i Did Not like but overall it was messy in a fun way. i had a good time
#the parts i didn't like were the ending#and five and lila's relationship#age-related time travel weirdness aside it just doesn't work for their dynamic#they had good chemistry as bickering (sort of) colleagues but i think if you have to put the whole romance in montage#and then break them up and not really have them interact as a couple besides a couple of scenes after the montage is over#perhaps it doesn't work as a romantic relationship yk?#the umbrella academy#tua#tua season 4

I forgot about the inscription on Ben's statue. "May the darkness within you find peace in the light." Within the allegory, they're all abuse survivors - except for Ben, who allegorically died by suicide as a teenager (killed by the monsters inside him) because what the HELL else would that inscription mean.
#[girl who only watches max mayfield] this reminds me of max mayfield#if nothing else at least stranger things delivered on the abuse survivor turned suicidal teen allegory#the umbrella academy#can't relate#ben hargreeves#honey i'm sorry they did that to you#your setup for a miraculous second chance at life via time travel was so good#tw suicide#tv: tua

Bad Guy: We're holding your brother captive! Klaus: ...Which one? Diego: Klaus! Does it matter? They have one of our brothers! Klaus: It does matter because who it is depends on how much effort I want to out into saving them. Diego: ...Good point. Which of our brothers is it? Bad Guy *Confused*: It's the tiny angry one? Klaus *Laughs*: Oh that's Five. Yeah you don't have him, he has you. Diego *Also Laughing*: He's right- for once, good luck with that. Bad Guy *Even More Confused*: Wha-? *Five pops into existence covered in blood* Klaus: Ah there he is! How was your trip? *Five kills the bad guy who's staring at him in bewilderment*: It was fine thank you.
