The Power of Innovation: Exploring the Future of Umbrella Designs
Exploring the Future of Umbrella Designs:
Umbrellas have been a trusty companion for centuries, shielding us from the rain and providing a sheltered haven in stormy weather. However, recent years have witnessed a surge of innovative new designs that are transforming the humble umbrella into something extraordinary. These cutting-edge innovations are revolutionizing the way we stay dry and…

I found out from the production designer's website and an interview he did that the basement kitchen is actually the 'kid's lounge', a space the siblings created for themselves.
And I've been obsessed with it ever since because I feel it gives us more of an idea about what the umbrellas childhoods were like.
Because, okay there's the slightly extravagant things like the pool table and foozball table, but most of it is very simple. A hifi system and a collection of cassettes and CDs (I bet Luther was only allowed have a record collection as part of his special treatment as Number One), what looks like board games and some toys in what used to be the butcher shops fridges and there's another toy next to the hifi system that looks similar to some of the ones we see in Five's room.
And in the scene where Allison and Diego fight Cha Cha we see art supplies as well.
These are just basic things most kids would grow up with but the umbrellas had to create a secret place, away from their father, to have them. It's just desperately sad.
But I also find it kind of beautiful that they worked together to make a place for themselves and I like to imagine the process of it coming together. Them scavenging furniture from the unused academy rooms. One of them finds the table in storage room, or the attic maybe, and then over the next few weeks they manage to take chairs from different rooms until they can all sit at the table together. Coming home from Griddy's one night (sneaking out became a lot easier once they had a separate entrance that their dad didn't know about) they spot an armchair and a sofa left out on the sidewalk and they don't look in too bad a condition so Five jumps back with the armchair while the others carry the sofa home (Five was still getting the hang of jumping with objects, the sofa was still a bit too big for him to manage). Grace catches them stealing food to take downstairs one day and she mentions it to Pogo (who knows about the room since it's right next to his own room, but he chooses to turn a blind eye) and suddenly there's a fridge in the room and Grace makes sure it and the cupboards are always fully stocked, even after the kids are gone (we see Five make a sandwich here when he comes back from the apocalypse). Hargreeves never interacts with Grace much and doesn't pay much attention to the food orders she makes as long as she stays in budget so some extra loaves of bread or jars of peanut butter won't catch his attention.
And Hargreeves never found out about the room because There's no reason for him to go to the basement, the only things in the basement are Pogo's room (so telling that there are 42 bedrooms in the academy but Pogo is relegated to the basement) and a utilitiy room. Viktor's cell is also in the basement but it's accessed by a separate elevator so Hargreeves wouldn't pass the kid's lounge to get to it.
You can tell how important the space was to the siblings as well because of how they use it in adulthood.
It's where they all go when Five returns and where they hangout when in the academy (we see them in the living room too but mostly for family meetings).
When Viktor comes to invite the others to his concert he comes through the butcher shop entrance.
It's where Klaus gathers his brothers when he tells them that he spoke to Reginald the night before.
And, even when he was the only one left living in the academy, Luther ate breakfast there.
It's the only part of the academy they feel is truly theirs and theirs alone. It's their safe place.

Today I offer you Semi-Chibi sebek.. tomorrow who knows
Kind of brainstorming for Ramshackle uniform and how different Students and Dorm leaders fit would be? Like end of the day dorm leader uniforms are just little bit different versions of the regular uniform (expect Riddles but thats cuz riddle modified it)
The basic insp for the Ramshackle uniform is foulfellow/honest john with his fancy clothes(that are patched) but instead I wanted it to be raincoat themed because ramshackle is well.. ramshackled there must be a roof leak somewhere haha, Other insps were ramshackles ghosts and lil bit of crowley..

not to be a hater (I am, though, very much a hater) but another thing I rlly disliked abt the new tua season is how agressively uninteresting the character designs were
like, allow me to compare:
Season 1, you can clearly identify any of them practically by their sillhouette. Luther has his square build, Allisson has her big curly hair, Five is boy™, Diego has his vigilante shit, Klaus serves cunt, and Viktor- well Viktor looks intentionally average because, in this season, being average is his brand (like, literally his writes-a-whole-entire-book-abt-it brand). Even Ben who is DEAD has his black hoodie.
Anyway flash forward to uh this:
…
Ngl every single man in there looks the same to me; short hair, slim bod, light skin, average outfit. They spread out Viktor’s brand who, ironically, isn’t even average or introverted anymore!! He got that confidence he didn’t have in season one, so him still looking like ‘some guy’, especially next to several other ‘some guy’s looks so. boring.
Idk, if maybe that was their intent ig?? That none of them are special anymore and therefore they have to be the most dull-looking group of people.
But no, I differ, because not having powers did not turn them into boring people. Luther is a stripper, Allison is an actress, Diego is a father. How are all these ppl looking the same?? Give Diego a dad mug or something, give Klaus a neon-pink-polka-dottted face mask, (bc also why did being a germophobe obliterate the cuntiness), give Viktor a Fedora, I literaly don’t care just give them something.
