TUA S3 Thoughts
*spoilers ahead*
How the fuck did Reginald know the Umbrellas would have powers when he adopted them? Why did he purchase as many as he could of these babies? Also, how calculated was the choosing of the birth mothers to have stopped 6 births when the 6 moms died?
I would have assumed that 16 children would still be born, just to different mothers. Does this mean, that by the creation of the Sparrow universe/timeline, there are 6 different children who were born instead of the Umbrellas in this timeline? And therefore there exists an extra 6 people with powers somewhere in the Commission’s knowledge of human existence?
Were there more births than just the 16? What did the mothers of the unadopted children do when their kid got powers. Clearly Reginald exploited the Umbrellas, but were these other kids just whipping out powers in the school recess lot like Harlin?
Another thought I have: what if Reginald gave them powers? Like he adopted these kids because he was inspired by a comic book or something and now he just wants to create his own army with these orphaned babies?
Another theory! And bare with me here: All of them have power mimicry powers only.
So, obviously, that’s Lila’s power. This seems to be something she figures out on her own or something. But what if that is the only natural power any of them have and Reginald had something done to the Umbrellas and Sparrows to give them the power to “mimic” a power he programmed into them. And that’s why only the academy members have powers, and Lila only seems unique for now.
This theory mostly came to my mind because: what the fuck is Christopher Hargreeves? Like why is he a box? If all 16 known babies actually had the powers to begin with, was Christopher born a box? Did Reginald go to meet this spontaneous mother in the Sparrow timeline only to meet a literal box? I know he’d be fascinated and end up adopting Christopher. But idk, it feels like the fucking box would be famous too if he existed in the Umbrella timeline. So that makes me think the powers are given by Reginald the same way he tried to turn Luther into a half monkey.
That would explain why he knew Viktor shouldn’t know he had powers in season 1. Obviously he knew about them if he locked Viktor in the basement. I don’t really see why he’d be that strict if Viktor wasn’t a threat.
There’s so many questions I have about the prompt of the story to begin with. Like what are the logisitcs of the 16 births? Were there more that just weren’t recorded? I’m done thinking about it for now. But I had to put these theories somewhere. Let me know what y’all think. Add on to the theories too if you’d like.

i don’t understand why the handle of the umbrella in the hargreeves’ tattoos is red... I’m sorry, pardon me? How does that make any sense whatsoever? Reginald, along with being a terrible person and a worse father, you are also garbage at designing tattoos. You should’ve just made it all black ugh

Broken Love | Teaser
(photo id below the cut)
“I just want you to know, that- uh, I love you, okay? Nothing can change that.” You said to the closed door. It took everything in you to not cry as you walked out of the house.
~
You had turned away and never looked back.
“You okay?” Allison said, pulling you out of your head.
“Yeah,” You sighed. “Just old memories.”
“He still loves you, you know? Diego’s got his own-”
“-Own way of showing it, I know.”
~

The Umbrella Academy- S1x01 - Liveblog (part 2)
(When I decided to liveblog this I did not think I was going to make a single episode into multiple posts. Then again I also hadn't known the episodes were about 1h long, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
:(
Hey sir??? I gathered by now that she doesn't have powers, but??? You can't just??? Say that to a child???? If that's how the guy was all the time no wonder Klaus was happy he died
I'm pretty sure a black hole, miniature or not, would have killed all of you by now. Also the rest of the world. You're an astronault, shouldn't you know that?
Oh, is that why Discount Robin doesn't like her?
Uh, rude? I get that he doesn't like Seven because of the book, and also he has some beef with Luther, but Allison didn't do anything?? Leave her alone
You know what? This show is already so weird, this might as well happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sure, why not
DID DISCOUNT ROBIN MCFRIKKING KILL THEIR DAD???? I did NOT see that coming

by any other name
The Umbrella Academy, Gen, rated G
Two sits cross-legged on the dusty rug and rolls the name slowly across his tongue. It fits him, or at least he hopes it does.
or,
It's been six months since Five ran away, and the kids have just been given their names.

So you know that part in The Day That Was where Hazel and Cha Cha are in the forest and Hazel is talking about how the secret to life is a simple life with a partner and how the warbler mates for life and the man will bring food to show that he can provide and then they go back to the motel and Hazel says he’s going to get takeout for them?
What if Cha Cha thought he was in love with her and that’s why she decided not to kill him?

I'm just having an HC that Aidan is, somehow, infatuated with TJ. That's why their dynamic in TUAS1 was soooooo believable and was soooooo palpable.

The Umbrella Academy -S1x01 - Liveblog (part 1)
I've wanted to watch this show for a while now and my friend says it's good so I guess I'm doing that
I already knew this show was weird, but they did not waste any time before getting weird, huh
Oooooh *-*
Aren't... aren't you going to untie them??? These people just went through a bad situation, you can't just turn around and leave, at least untie their hands!
Asdcsfsgsrft what's the point in the domino mask?? It doesn't even hide your face, all it does is make you look like a discount Robin
Ouch, that has to be the worst way to find out your father died, poor Allison :(
Discount Robin is an asshole, but you know what? I kinda like him
Asdsdsfds I like him
Actually, I think I like all of them, they're fun
"And you look like a dorito :)"
Oh, is that his power? :o
Oof
