"tua's fandom is so dead" "there's no tua fans left" incorrect we're the roaches scurrying around in hotel obsidian

[justhereformyblorbos]

been seeing a ton of comments about the umbrella academy fandom dying and i just want to get on my hands and knees and BEG people not to leave

guys wait up im still here!!!! guys come back!!! i know s4 was shit but this show is awesome and there’s so many reasons to stick around!!!!

i refuse to leave actually. you’re gonna have to hoist me up by the back of my shirt and toss me out the back door and then dust off your hands like a tired old grandpa to get rid of my annoying ass. TRUST in me, i will continue to rot here if it’s the last thing i do

Just imagine this really sparkling text saying ‘apocalypse’ with stars and glitter all over it levitating between Five’s hands

(I didn’t know how to draw it) I tried

So, I’m probably going to draw something from Over the garden wall, not really sure what tho

[justhereformyblorbos]

and maybe we're doomed but oh my love which one of us is orpheus?

congrats to severance for becoming my second fav anticapitalist-media-referencing-greek-tragedies

Happy season 2 finale day Lumon employees!

[justhereformyblorbos]

How does it feel? I don't know, I...

[justhereformyblorbos]

severance finale spoilers

GEMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAH

Honestly I kinda like this ending to S2 as long as we get a season 3, I’m just glad they finally got to see each other and Gemma is not dead WOOOOO LET’S GO

But if the innies are their own souls… poor Cold Harbor Gemma who’s made for like 3 minutes to feel nothing over taking apart a crib and is then scolded by voices and coaxed out of a room like a scared animal by a bloody guy claiming to be her husband of 4 years. Like. Jesus.

I’m so curious about her 25 other consciousnesses. Was Ms Casey made as part of a file, or..? Since she doesn’t have a room (unless the whole Severed Floor/Wellness Center is her room)

I looove all the characters and thought they had some really great moments (go goat lady) but I think I’m destined to love the one that haunts the narrative most. Except she’s CRAWLING OUT OF THAT GRAVE WOOOOOOO

[S2E9 SPOILERS + ACTOR INTERVIEW just in case you don’t want to know ANYTHING about what S3 might have in store]

Mostly I just found this John Turturro interview and wanted to reassure some folks about S2E9 not being the end of Irving’s story—I know there were rumors floating about that Irving wasn’t returning to the show, but based on the answers in this interview I think they definitely have more to explore with him.

For the irving and burt lovers who want them to be happy and/or just appear again…there may be a chance??

[justhereformyblorbos]

where did you go?

commissions

[justhereformyblorbos]

a place you don't get to leave

[justhereformyblorbos]

my blorbos… I miss them… so I put them into lumon aka hargreeves hell corporation

spoilers for severance and all seasons of tua under the cut

I guess technically they’re all Helenas if Reginald is Kier huh.

I started drawing before 2x07 dropped and ruined my life but honestly it still works

So they grew up in one of those hargreeves-controlled schools under the slightly culty environment doing missions and training to become the next generations (perhaps competing to be the heir to the “revolving whatever that is)

Five was the most promising but gets lost at an ORTBO and gets taken in by the Commission, perhaps a resistance or rival company that is just as shady (think Reghabi)? Unsure of whether to combine Reginald/Lumon and the Commission or not. For some reason he is still a child, and everyone reacts to him like they do to Miss Huang.

After that, their team isn’t doing so hot. One day Ben “dies” and it fractures their little family for good.

Later in the world, they’re struggling and eventually return to their dad’s company that they once ran away from in various different ways, and each get severed and go through the horrors.

Number 1 (Luther) - I think Milchick’s devotion to Reginald, Mark’s optimism and initial obedience, Irving’s initial love of Lumon texts, and Sloane in another department being his tragic office wife could be juicy… The one who never left the ideals of Reginald without being fully aware of what they were doing, and slowly have his worldviews change and his adoration for Reginald fall apart (but not before doing some rough things under the impression that he is RIGHT). I know the . romance. With Allison is a thing in the show but. for this alternative universe they will simply be close coworkers who support and inspire each other to rebel OKAY? okay. I think having Sloane taken away from him and finding out Ben’s still alive will more than do it to cause him to get on the side of the innies. I think on the outside he’s super isolated and so crushingly lonely without his siblings ): maybe he gets into illegal underground boxing and gets severe brain damage that necessitates severance? also as an innie he never gets to see space but he’s a super nerd about stars. this is a fact Ben tells him about his outie :)

Number 2 (Diego) - Placing him a little later in the timeline, his outie could be a family man who severed to provide for them? Or a former disgraced detective trying to investigate Reginald and expose his shady stuff after his partner Eudora dies under mysterious circumstances all vigilante style? And also blames Reginald for Ben? Laser focused on revenge and super mean but eventually starts to reach out to his siblings as an outie/innie and realizes how much he misses and cares for them. Then he falls in love with Lila along the way, perhaps two times, innie and outie, while she’s unsevered… could be fun. I could see shades of Dylan, Helly, and Mark in him—a rebellious spirit, deeply loving and determined. Or maybe he has kids with Lila later and they marry which. Makes things complicated. So he also has to navigate fatherhood in this wacky world. AHHHHHHH this isn’t even mentioning his relationship with GRACE. oh god Grace. Nightmare Robot manager… or SEVERED REGINALD EX WIFE??

Number 3 (Allison) - I could see her being a star refiner like Dylan before everything changes when she finds out about Claire. On the outside, she’s a popular actor getting severed as a publicity stunt (think Helena), for the money, and also to escape the difficulties of her divorce and custody battle like Petey. I didn’t get to draw it but on the inside I imagine she uses a wig but in the outside she has her natural hair. OR she pulls an Irving and innie Allison and innie Ray are in love before outie Ray is retired and during the OTC innie Allison leads outie Allison to meet outie Ray. Perhaps she remarries with him, and he gets to visit, except he’s loyal and doesn’t cheat like Gretchen does (no shade she’s so sympathetic I just think Ray wouldn’t do that) so innie Allison’s kinda battling with herself since she loves innie Ray and was the reason outie Allison can be Allison Chestnut but she doesn’t get that…hmm..I think she’d be very much on the side of the innies at first, fiercely criticizing the inhumane conditions and making big swings, but the company leverages Claire and Ray and she ends up swaying to them because because being the voice of the Board paralleling with her Rumor ability and in a equally as devastating arc to s3 would be COOL!!!

Number 4 (Klaus) - Literally homeless, struggling with addiction, and also a gay veteran. (like Irving!!) Turns to Reginald because they will pay him if only he severs his brain. His innie version is more happy to lucky but also is suffering the symptoms of withdrawal and/or drug use. Dave is definitely involved, I just don’t know how. He could have died in way, but Reginald Corp took his body, he could be a employee Klaus worked with and fell in love with before disappearing one day and showing up to Klaus’s doorstep with reintegration sickness but also a love and care no one has afforded to him before. Either way he has a lot of feelings about it, and goes through it and acts out, thus leading to a lot of wellness sessions with Ben. I think Klaus gets reintegrated, thus leading him to “see the dead” and have the “clairvoyance” of understanding info from innie and outie… and also has a lot of health close calls because basement brain surgery. Maybe Five does it idk.

Number 5 (Five) - miss Huang core. Knows some of the truth about Lumon, sent in as an undercover intern to stop the mysterious Cold Horror file by any means possible and steal it for the Commission for his last job. However the Commission (The Handler + crew) doesn’t have a moral compass and will do anything to get their way (and cause the apocalypse to happen). So they did a bunch of experiments on him like the comics so he’s good at killing and psychological games. And his coworkers are his siblings who he’s been fighting to get back to all these years. I could see him galvanizing the others to try and escape and having a really bad time in the break room with the Handler. Or maybe actually cutting his hand/arm off to make a point. And also falling in love with Dolores the mannequin. Mr. Penny crumb the GOAT. I think he and Lila would clock each other’s identity but this time they are platonic rivals snarking on each other and playing 4D chess

Number 6 (Ben) - There was no other option, he’s gotta be Miss Casey, by the way they both haunt the narrative and most people spoke positively of Ben after his death. 2x07 was incredible also, and I think there’s a 3rd Ben I haven’t pictured who grew up with the rest of the sibs, is trapped, and is so tired of going through experiments and tests, and really misses his family, and wants to go home. Let him out ):. BUT ALSO what if he was also Mrs. Cobel/Mr. Milchick. Mr. Sparrow. Number 2…. Double dipping wellness director and floor manager. Both the tormented and the tormentors… nature vs nurture and temperament affecting personality…

Number 7 (Viktor) - Nothing remarkable came of him during their childhood days, leaving him isolated from the other kids + severed trans story that. Would be so interesting to explore but I think I’ll leave that to someone thinking deeper than me on the topic. Sissy becomes his Burt that he falls in love with on the inside, but married to Carl on the outside with Harlan but willing to do adultery since the marriage is a little…. Yeah. Also definitely reintegrating bc good parallel to the violin mind sequence, misses his brother a lot and is very depressed for most of the story but very valuable to Reginald and the Commission since he works faster on the files than anyone else. Maybe the files are the apocalypse with a smiley face binder : ) Connects a lot to Mr. Hargreeves / Mr. Umbrella (Ben) and when they realize they’re family it’s ): ): ):

THEYRE SO BEAUTIFUL???

Klaus, Ben, and drag

+ The beginning:

[justhereformyblorbos]

so how about that umbrella academy huh (distant crickets)

umbrella academy has been my favorite show since 2019, and s4 made me so boilingly furious that i spent a month making an animatic featuring the first three seasons and an alternate ending! would love if you gave it a watch, if not for love for me then of hatred for steve blackman

[justhereformyblorbos]

In a COVID promo where the actors are dancing in their room, Justin is doing some dorky moves and air guitar.. I do feel ben would be doing that LMAO

Do we ever (as a fandom) discuss what Ben was up to during the TUA pilot's "I Think We're Alone Now" scene?

Was Ben dancing along complimentary to Klaus?

Dancing separate from Klaus in a way that also showed something about the nature of his character like the other siblings?

Not dancing, but making sassy but loving asides about Klaus twirling around with their father's urn?

I know narratively why the show wanted to wait on the reveal of Ben until the end of the pilot and thus there's no interactions with him during the episode.

But I never got OG Ben dancing - only Sparrow!Ben. And now I can't help but wonder (and maybe mourn a little) what I might have missed out on...

[justhereformyblorbos]

thinking about this again.... he name d. he named it..
