If you take ONK ask:

What instrument do you think the cast would enjoy playing?

Interesting question 😁 Took me a long time to think of an answer though but here goes:

Aqua - drums

Melt - guitar

Taiki - keyboards

Kana - keyboards and guitar (she learned to play these because she released acoustic versions of her songs and performs them live with a piano or guitar // but also has the tendency to keyboard smash when she's thinking of the mean things she said for the day but don't actually mean it hahaha)

Memcho - bass guitar

Ruby - harmonica (like she has little parts in their concerts with her harmonica but it totally steals the show)

Akane - violin

Ai - keyboards (that she probably learned from Kamiki)

It's interesting to read interpretations of characters from stories I've read but sometimes, I wonder, did we really read the same thing? 💭

House: This is the final Jack Cannon. Nothing gets resolved.

Who's his father? Who killed his brother? How'd he get that damn scar on his cheek, and why is he obsessed with yo-yos?

- House, M.D. S7E3

I was on a road trip today with friends and on our way home, my friend played this song. I was so proud that I know the lyrics by heart only because I got to know it from this meticulously crafted fanmade video. I don't think I will ever listen to this song without thinking of that video. That's how good it is for me.

Again and again, to each their own. 💭

Dr. House: You've been telling me for years that I should come by. Here I am. Hi, guys.

Dr. Harper: Got a Thursday group.

Dr. House: Poker night.

Dr. Harper: Monday morning?

Dr. House: Book club.

And there it is. 6 episodes into season 2 and my TUA brainrot kicks in. 🙈

Thinking,thinking of how Aquakana and KamiAi had a similar fate in the sense that Kana and Hikaru never knew Aqua and Ai truly reciprocated their feelings, Hikaru only found out after Ai's death via her recording,and Kana never found out at all.

I know it's different situations but the same dead look in their eyes, Hikaru's star completely disappearing and Kana's eyes becoming like a black hole.

Plus this, the regrets.

I always say Aqua's relationships with both Kana and Akane can parallel Ai and Hikaru but in this case it felt more with Kana tbh.

Dr. Foreman: What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, huh?

Dr. Chase: Nietzsche wouldn't have been so glib if he'd been prescribed Melarsoprol.

My brain: "Nietzsche once said, man is as a rope stretched between the animal and the superhuman. A rope over an abyss. It is a dangerous crossing, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting."

Lucille Palmero: I'm being discharged.

Dr. House: I heard a rumor.

I think it's safe to say that my brain is 90% occupied by The Umbrella Academy right now and it has been amusing and concerning at the same time.

[redge]

I am currently watching Season 1 of House, M.D. It's enjoyable, I found myself laughing each episode and all I was thinking the whole time watching was "is that doctor the actress of Emma Swan in Once Upon a Time?" and "Dr. Chase looks good".

Then I got to episode 3 and this song played and my brain that's been preoccupied for 131 minutes just instantly returned to being an Umbrella Academy brainrot. Go figure. 🙃

[redge]

came back to Tumblr after a year because I got into a new hyperfixation where the fandom is already died off because the show ended 4 years ago and I missed out AGAIN and this is the only place I can find content ugh😭

if you're an umbrella academy enjoyer let's be moots pls i just started season 3

[redge]

oh this will forever be funny

You know it's crazy how I am really very convinced that Five is an old man stuck in a teen's body.

Like that Reginald and Five conversation in Season 2 Episode 6? The whole scene I never thought there was something wrong with Five drinking, or Five talking things like "when we were kids" or Five saying he gave Reginald such a hard time as a kid as if it's not a kid's body speaking of it. The scene was simply two old men talking over a drink. Plain and simple.

I remember Aidan answering this question "what message would you give to someone who wants to be an actor" and aside from researching a character, he concluded his answer with "you just really need to make friends with the make believe" and I am very sure Aidan practice what he preach. He loves TUA comics so he knows his character, and he really got me with that make believe that he is indeed an old man in a teenagers body.

In season 4, Aidan is no longer a teenager acting as an adult but he's already an adult acting as an old man but even that was convincing for me. Also the way he played all those Five alternatives? Booth Five is very reminiscent of Five in season 1 and season 2. Drunk Five? We've seen that in season 3. Brisket Five? Oh what a joy to see a smiling-not-living-on-the-edge Five. I mean to separate all those Fives as if they're really different versions of you? What an astounding actor.

I know he is now focusing on his music but I am excited to see him in the next role he will portray just as much as I am excited in the music he is making.

Okay hear me out. This just grows on me the more I watch it and it's amazing how it managed to match the scenes with the lyrics, whether figuratively or literally

"my boredom's bone-deep this cage was once just fine"

Lila getting drowned in her current life

"I dream of cracking locks"

Lila opening the door in season 2 before she fights Five

"crashing into him tonight"

Lila and Five crashing on each other as they blinked from the commission to hotel Obsidian

"he's a paradox"

Lila and Five in the commission, while Five is experiencing paradox psychosis

"I'm seeing visions am I bad, mad, or wise?"

Nancy and Jerome on the first episode of season 4 like a foreshadowing of what's about to come

"one slip and falling back into the hedge maze"

Five and Lila back in the subway but this time getting lost finding their way back home

"I keep recalling things we never did messy top lip kiss how I long for our trysts"

That whole scene of Five and Lila in the restaurant disguised as Nancy and Jerome, how the book club is a place where they secretly meet it's insane how this matches the whole lyrics geniussss

"how can I be guilty as sin"

"Trust me. It's nothing" 🤧🤧🤧

"I keep these longings locked"

Five. Longing. 😭

"what if the way you hold me is actually what's holy"

Five hugging Lila in the subway consoling her even though he knows she hates him *keyboard smashing intensfies*

"they don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly"

scenes where Lila and Diego are together while Five was in the background looking at them geniusssssss

"messy top lip kiss"

and then you realize, that was really kind of a messy top lip kiss 👀

"I hadn't heard it in a while"

"Okay, love."

And then we close it in with Lila just sitting there smiling looking satisfied with her life in the shitville and the lyrics goes

"am I allowed to cry?"

I mean, whatever side of the fandom you are, you can't deny that this is a work of art. 👏

. . . am i allowed to cry ?

Thank you @.elloo0v0oo and everyone who got me to 5000 reblogs!

Five thousandth reblog from a Five-related post add to the fact that this account is celebrating its fifteenth year this 2025. Amusing. 5️⃣

I just realized that all the problems Five encountered was solved by Five himself.

Five cannot return to the present? Five tells him it's a typo error on the equation.

Five not knowing what to do when the brief cases stopped working and they can't stop the kugelblitz? Five tells him about the Oblivion and to not save the world (which he tried to do but Reginald got ahead of them)

Five gets lost in the subway? Solved by a cipher he made himself.

Five getting tired of saving the world over and over again? Fives help him see the big picture and made him realize what needs to be done.

I love this character to bits.

"The slightest alteration in events can lead to massively different outcomes in the time continuum. The butterfly effect. So all I have to do is find the people with the greatest probability of impacting the time line, wherever they may be, and kill them."

- Five, S0105

Exhibit A why that conclusion in season 4 is a logical ending. And this was laid down to us as early as season 1.
