#tua brainrot

[samwolfcos]

okay hear me out- Klaus literally being santa Klaus. Just imagine Klaus (s1 timeline) running out of money for his special chocolate. Its december and to cold to make some money in dark alleys buuuuut thers this run down department store that has a sign up ‚Hiring: Santa, costume provided‘

Ben is (like usual) not convinced of course but who would ever listen to him anyways. The store manager doesn’t care at all if his new santa smells like a whole liquor store because the costume smells worse anyway so Klaus got to sit in a rickety chair right next to a slightly moldy elf cardboad cutout and some kids get the strangest photos with santa of their life. But at least this santa makes shure to tell every kid that shows up with their dad that ‚yeah you definitely get everything you want for Christmas because your dear Papa loves you so much and hes totally buddies with santa‘

The siblings end up on a roadtrip and they start pissing off Five so he threatens to walk himself there and when his siblings don't believe him he blinks out of the car so Allison slams on the brakes, finds Five walking on the side of the road and slowly drives beside him yelling at him to get back in while he's just going on about its such a nice day for a walk and that when he was a kid he didn't have such modern technology as cars because they were all destroyed by the fucking apocalypse until the siblings give in and tell him fine yes we can stop by ONE of your old man roadside attractions just get in the damn car and he giddily gets back in the passenger seat and immediately pulls out his big ass map to debate which attraction he wants to go to while everyone groans

The TUA brainrot has reached new levels. I noticed in S1E2 when Diego is speaking to several people as he crosses the gym that one guy responds to him in Spanish. All he says is one word, 'Sí', a word most people, regardless of whether they speak Spanish or not, know the meaning of, and yet I've spun it into a whole headcanon explaining why Diego speaks Spanish like a native speaker.

Because I've seen people point out that Reggie teaching the Umbrellas the languages related to their cultural backgrounds doesn't explain Diego speaking Spanish with a Mexican accent and using regional slang when he speaks. However, if there are Spanish speakers who work in or frequent the gym maybe Diego started speaking Spanish with them, picked up slang and other markers of 'home Spanish', and developed more of an accent through speaking with them over time. In fact, I love to think they intentionally tried to help Diego with his Spanish and sounding more like a native speaker because he was embarassed that he sounded like someone who spoke it as a second language despite being of Latin American descent.

And you might be thinking, 'Okay the guy speaks to him in Spanish, but Diego speaks to him in English', but stuff like that isn't at all uncommon in bilingual friendships. I'm a native English speaker, and I lived in Lanzarote for 6 months in 2012 on university placement. While I was never completely fluent in Spanish, I got pretty close in that time. I had friends and roommates who were native Spanish speakers and were also fluent in English. We mixed and changed and combined languages all the time. When I first moved there I was so determined to improve my Spanish I would more or less only speak Spanish, even when people spoke English to me which meant I regularly had conversations with friends where we were speaking separate languages. I was so used to switching languages when I moved back to Ireland more than once i said something in Spanish before remembering no one around me spoke it. So Diego speaking English in that moment doesn't mean they don't also speak Spanish together. It just means they probably speak a mix of English and Spanish.

(Yes I know the real reason Diego speaks Spanish like a native Mexican speaker is because he is played David Casteñada who is Mexican, and the scene where he argues with Ben was improvised, but I will never not overanalyse and create headcanons for this show, especially if they explain plotholes)

Wip Game

Rules: Post the names of all your works in your WIP folder. Let people send you asks based on those titles and any that especially intrigues them, and then respond to them. Lastly, tag as many people as WIPs you have.

Thank you @littlerit and @rockinlibrarian for the tags!

I have a lot of wips so i’m just gonna do a couple more recent ones. And they're all tua, they're all about Five.

1. Hide the Morning from the Stars - The thing that started this one was a line I heard that went, “I just wanted to be loved!” It another one of those post-everything Five acclimating to a peaceful life poorly type fic. The siblings are pretty caught up in rebuilding their own lives, as you do, and so Five proceeds to have the loneliest first year of retirement ever. This one also leans pretty heavy into something @mangoshorthand posted or reblogged a few whiles back about Five struggling to reconnect with Grace because she reminds him of the Handler. 

2. Howling still counts as a wip because i cannot go a full 24 hour period without thinking about it. It’s just sitting in my brain, simmering in all the juices. I’m working on this one constantly. Like all the other wips are on a constant rotation, but this is the big fat star they inevitably orbit.

3. Selkies and Shit - my attempt at mermay masked author but i haven’t gotten very far with it. I don’t even know how to describe this one. The kids were selkies, the Handler was a pirate who was keeping Five and Lila’s skins, and everyone in the world had forgotten all their memories from more than six months prior. No one knew why, but it had something to do with the Moon being missing and the ocean being tide-less. 

4. Planned Obsolescence - that fic where the Commission put a kill switch in Five in case he ever defected and then it slowly kills Five when he defects to be with his family. Here’s a tid bit from that one.

5. the delicate parts of us - it’s... a wing fic. anyone remember that really gory wing eruption scene in Haibane Renmei? yeah, i watched that as a kid and this isn’t the first time i’ve been inspired by it. Kind of dumb, actually, but mostly about Five asking for help.

6. And an untitled post-season 3 fic about Five being human trafficked and saving some kids and generally having a bad time and then a less bad time when his family shows up.

Gonna tag @mangoshorthand​, @sharkneto, @clementineofmine, and @in-a-slanted-outhouse. Participation isn’t mandatory, only if you want to, and even if you weren’t tagged.

I can say for certain that this show has altered my brain chemistry. I can no longer be normal about the numbers 1-7. April 1st, October 1st, November 10th and November 22nd are now significant days in my mind. If I hear a song that was featured in the show when I’m out an about I immediately text a friend to tell them. I can’t even use an umbrella when it rains without thinking about the show. What do I do? Am I just supposed to go on like this forever???

[aeorisforlovers]

You ever think about the fact that if Klaus is immortal, he would’ve been the only one to survive the original apocalypse…

Fuckkkkkkk so I'm finally watching the 3rd season of the Umbrella Academy and I get to the final episode and maybe it's all the End of The World™ shit going on but I fully, truly, hand on heart honest to god expected to hear Carry On My Wayward Son play and was confused, disappointed, and then mortified at myself when it didn't
