Dave calls Klaus foxy change my mf mind

[sherlockslittlehelper]

Can we consider that…

Klaus fought an especially aweful war

With time-travel jetlag which Five discribes as a load of very unpleasant symptoms

With horrible sobering process implying painful shivers, nausea, dangerous degradation of mental health

Consequently, with perpetual harrassment of suffering ghosts…

And he went through all this, found enough love in his heart to be a funny and carring boyfriend, went home and fought again to save the world while being a supportive brother…

Klaus is such a strong character and deserve so much love and attention !

[sherlockslittlehelper]

Klaus Hargreeves is my ideal self and Vanya Hargreeves is my real self you see my problem?

yall klaus learned how to drive in Vietnam. oh my god

[sherlockslittlehelper]

When Five thought they’d stopped the apocalypse but you could see there was still an episode and a half left:

[sherlockslittlehelper]

Klaus: Ben, tell him where he can stick his grapes!

Ben: In the fridge.

Klaus: No, Ben.

So lately, I’ve been talking with another sibling who grew up under the same abusive parents I did. I spent a substantial portion of my childhood and early adulthood assuming that they had it great. I thought they were the parental favorite, that they rarely got in trouble, and that they got all of the affection and support I was denied. As I’ve recently learned, that’s not true. In my conversations with this person, I’ve learned that our parents treated this sibling just as badly as they treated me—and in some cases, this sibling had it even worse than I did. 

I was thinking about this, and my mind wandered over to Vanya’s autobiography. 

It’s implied that, in her book, Vanya spills a lot of family secrets. Not just about the abuse, but embarrassing personal details regarding her siblings. But I also think there’s another reason why it made Diego tape her portrait to a punching bag. 

See, Vanya assumes she had it the worst of any of her siblings. She was excluded, told she was ordinary, even left out of family pictures. While her siblings played together, she played her violin in another room. And this is absolutely damaging. I’m not saying she had it easy, because the things she went through were heartbreaking and would mess anyone up for life. Vanya’s trauma is valid and should not be discounted. 

But this exclusion was a double-edged sword. She was left out of missions and inside jokes and relationships, but she was also left unaware of what her siblings went through in their training. She wouldn’t have known about Klaus being locked in a mausoleum (though in fairness, I don’t think anyone but he and Reginald did). She would have been blind to Diego’s constant losing battle for his father’s favor. Being left out of the family dynamic, Vanya wouldn’t have seen the struggles and put-downs her siblings endured as their father tried to train them into a family of superheroes. She would have only seen a game in which she was forbidden to participate. 

Think about it from her siblings’ standpoint: They were beaten into submission, forced to be as perfect as possible in their pursuit of greatness. They were made to do things they hated, put through unimaginable pain, never really allowed to be kids. And then here comes Vanya, the only one of them who wasn’t forced into the same mold as they, the only one who could learn to play an instrument rather than learn to put bad guys in choke holds, the only one who—in their view—was allowed to have a childhood—and she’s written this book about how horrible it was to be left out, how horrible they all were for leaving her out, how they got to bask in parental favor and she had to stay on the sidelines being as normal a kid as their father would allow. 

After all the pain they went through, all the pain they were forced to endure, Vanya’s “Woe is me, I am a normal girl in a family of demigods” book probably sounded pretty whiny. 

Yes, they could have had more compassion on her. They could have read her book with sympathy, seen that hey, this sister who wasn’t forced into missions actually had it as rough as we did. But after a childhood spent thinking my siblings had it easy and I was the only one who had to suffer under our parents, I can see why they reacted to her book with anger.

[sherlockslittlehelper]

Reginald: now children tell me what you call a person who works on cars

Literally everyone: a mechanic

Klaus: a car doctor

Ben: *shakes head in disappointment*

[sherlockslittlehelper]

Still trying to process the fact that Klaus was straight up killed,, by a furry, at a furry rave, met GOD then came back to life bc she thought that he was a bitch and mentioned precisely zero(0) of these facts to his siblings

[sherlockslittlehelper]

I never thought I’d be so supportive of a 13 year old that’s actually 58 who’s in love with a mannequin named Dolores
