Sam and Bucky are like an old married couple and Joaquin is their son change my mind
i hate these writers dude
okay so let me get this straight
Luther lost his wife then died as a stripper with a house that's falling apart
Diego died after just having found out his wife, who he'd been unhappy with for a long time, cheated on him with his brother
Allison died without a husband, with her career at a standstill, after not speaking to her family for years and without really fixing their relationship
Klaus died after relapsing after 3 years of sobriety, scaring his niece, without reuniting with Dave and with the additional trauma of being buried alive and sex trafficked
Five died having failed to stop the apocalypse - his only goal for the past, what, 60 years of his life - with unresolved feelings for Lila
Ben died suffering inside a huge blob that ended the world, never getting to be happy with Jennifer
Viktor died because he finally, FINALLY dared to question and oppose his father, after being unable to maintain a stable relationship with a woman for years (RIP Sissy ig)
Lila died stuck in an unhappy marriage, with conflicted feelings towards her husband AND his brother, with whom she had cheated
ok ok cool cool cool, got it.
love unliking and reliking a post after mutual reblogs it from me #loveyou
I’ll concede that the final season of Umbrella Academy wasn’t that good, but one of my favorite throwaway bits is that Viktor has been dumped by every girl in his town but clearly not because he’s trans, he’s just bad at dating
when you finish a fic that was everything you could of hoped for and you click on their user to see that they’ve written dozens of fics for that pairing
So, now that it's over, and I've given everybody enough time to watch all the seasons:
I'm breaking my silence on the numbering system.
If you haven't memorized them,
Number One: Luther Hargreeves
Number Two: Diego Hargreeves
Number Three: Allison Hargreeves
Number Four: Klaus Hargreeves
Number Five
Number Six: Ben Hargreeves
Number Seven: Viktor Hargreeves
Now, since we figured out these numbers, the fandom has been all,
"Oh it's in order of powers! Luther has (or had, as a kid) the best powers! And Viktor is seven because he 'had none'."
"Oh but that doesn't make sense! Ben's power is so much cooler and more lethal than Luther's!"
Bullshit. I'm breaking my silence.
Yes, fandom, you were on the right track.. ish.
These numbers were assigned based on how easy to manipulate each sibling was. These numbers were based on how terrifying, or hilarious, Reginald Hargreeves found each sibling.
Luther was stupid, he was easily toyed with and he would listen to everything his dad said. He was number one because Reginald could do whatever he wanted with him and wasn't at risk of getting attacked or even questioned. Reginald could poke, pry, test, train, whatever he wanted with Luther easily. That's what made him number one.
Viktor, on the other hand, was disobedient. He didn't listen, he wasn't easily manipulated, he killed all the nanny's, he terrified Reginald. Hence, the last thing he could possibly think to do-- because he is a maniac control freak-- was to put a stop to it. He couldn't lose! He has to make Viktor think he's nothing.
You can figure the rest out.
