TFW the thing that has kept you isolated from everyone for 60 years and having to wear bandages all the time in front of everyone or they will MELT AND DIE painfully turns out to be the very same thing that is able to save and resolidfiy your boyfriend whatever he is to you.
When instead of killing, brutally, at exposure to your bare skin he is instead helped by it and you get to feel the warmth of his hand for the first time, the warmth of anyone's hand for the first time in 60 years and then you have a long hug where you hold each other close and fall onto the floor and just hold each other for a while, your hands still exposed and you can feel the material of his shirt and his hair and his warmth and anything that isn't just bandages and then he pulls away, just a little, and rests his head on his hand as you both lay there and he stares at you with big, beautiful eyes that take your breath away and you feel like you're dying but in a good way, in the best way.

(Unwillingly) thinking about the parallels between TUA and Doom Patrol and how Doom Patrol, by far, did every single thing better. The dysfunctional superhero family trope caught in a continuous cycle of starting and ending apocalypses. Time travel. Obscene humor and comical villains. Queer characters and subplots with actual resolutions (for the most part). Even the whole "they all die in the end" trope (kinda. Not all of them but that spoils too much). Both shows literally got 4 seasons each, one of them being produced by NETFLIX and the other canceled, and yet they still managed to fumble so incredibly badly it's almost unfathomable. TUA writers have no excuse for why their ending feels as incomplete/bad as it does.
Anyways if you haven't already you should absolutely watch Doom Patrol if you liked The Umbrella Academy before it went downhill. It might be camp but that's part of it's charm. If I told you that you get to see a giant rat and cockroach makeout on a sentient teleporting genderqueer street would that be reason enough
