#hargreeves family feels

[hellomagicalsouls]

could you imagine being Five? Having to bury your siblings at the age of 13, only being to vaguely recognise them via a tattoo on their arms?

only to get back to those people and realise that not only have they barely spoken to each other since he got lost. They barely liked each other at that point.

they loved each other yes, but liked? I don't think so.

And one died tragically young to a point where none of them talked about it.

i mean does Five even know how Ben died? Do you think Five looked for Ben only to not find him? Or did he find his statue and realise that Ben had been gone for years at that point?

imagine going from the young versions of them which weren't happy but happy enough. To the versions that he buried, only to realise they were probably just as lonely as he was.

Five trying to fix his family so nobody has to feel like him when they probably already have.

If I had a nickel for every time Diego Hargreeves supported his sibling who had recently come back from the 1960s and lost the love of their life by driving them to a bar to get into a fight with a bunch of white men, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t that many, but it is funny that it happened twice.

I watched season 3 and rewatched season 1 and 2 of the umbrella academy and what I can gather is:

Five (season 1): Denial, anger

Five (season 2): Bargaining

Five (season 3): Depression, acceptance

[pink-psychic]

Since season 4 is the final season then I think that it’s only fair that it’s the season that Klaus gets the spotlight and goes a little apeshit as a treat.

There are a few things about s3 that I didn’t like in the first watch, and I unfortunately wasn’t able to rewatch but. I think the worst thing s3 did to us is tell us that Five made a speech that said his family was bound by “destiny and love” and not show us that speech.

luther: the golden child

diego: the mastermind

allison: the peace keeper

[doyoueverstopandthink]

umbrella academy as quotes from community part 2: 

luther: 

“you call yell at me all you want! i’ve seen enough movies to know that popping the back of a raft makes it go faster!” 

diego: 

(about luther) “now this... is a man... who knows how to marry his cousin!” 

allison: 

“our first assignment is a documentary. they’re like real movies, but with ugly people.” 

klaus: 

“true. all life ends in death, which we, as a species, are cursed with knowing. resulting in... something. again, this is really not my field.” 

five: 

“we’ll definitely be back next year. if not, it’ll be because an asteroid has destroyed all of human civilization. and that’s canon.” 

ben: 

“chaos already dominates enough of our lives. the universe is an endless raging sea of randomness. our job isn’t to fight it, but to weather it together, on the raft of life.” 

viktor: 

“i don’t know what to do! my whole brain is crying!” 

lila: 

“i was never one to hold a grudge. my [mother] held grudges. i’ll always hate her for that.” 

[fiddlededeejester]

if i had a nickel for every show i really liked where incest was kinda canon with the excuse that "technically they're not biologically related" & the fandom either ignored it/headcannoned it away or made relentless jokes about it i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

[gayfishermanfive]

nothing about fives relationship with the handler was consensual. he was never comfortable around her, he never reciprocated when she flirted, or reacted when she touched him. her flirtatious advances were a means to dominate and control him and that alternate script basically confirms it. the handler tells five "you're mine" and kisses him. five doesn't react, he keeps his eyes shut, he's uncomfortable, he doesn't want it.

this isn't a romantic or sexual relationship, this is assault. this is an abuse of power. five was abused.

[moonyswritinq]

five : “I sleep like shit too.”

klaus : “you don’t sleep at all.”

five : “makes for fewer nightmares.”

klaus : "still rather nightmares than haunting ghosts."

[krittec]

Five: I know about Claire, and I want to live long enough to be able to meet her.

Also Five: Ignores Stanley’s very existence and doesn’t even bat an eye when he disappeared.

[lookwhatyoumademedohaha]

Alright since I'm fucking heartbroken and exhausted about what they did to Byler and to us, my hurt brain came up with a few ideas you all are free to turn to fics and fix everything.

Five Hargreeves meeting Will Byers. Both of them being sassy little shits. Five taking an immediate liking to Will and has big 'I've had Will Byers for one day but if anything happens to him, I will kill everyone in this room and then myself' energy. Both of them becoming good friends who go on road trips singing out loudly visiting all the roadside attractions and visit art galleries with big smiles and loud laughs. They get kicked out of some places for being too chaotic and Five being lippy but they are having the time of their lives.

Will making senior citizen jokes about Five. Five rolling his eyes affectionately every time Will mentions he's got a serious coffee addiction and Will having to listen to Five talk about why coffee is the best. So many inside jokes and teasing each other. Five being a maniac and Will being sweet and everyone wonders how they are friends.

Five and Will bonding over their trauma which brings them closer together. Five and Will understanding each other on a deeper level because they know how it feels to be different, grief and loneliness.

Five and Will comforting each other when they have nightmares.

Five appreciating Will every single day. Will letting Five know that he's not alone and that he's not insignificant. Will coming out to Five who is truly happy for him. Though he is cool with it, it really means a lot to him that Will decided to trust him. Five doesn't want to make a big deal out of it but it's Will who has spent his whole life feeling like a second choice, a mistake, worthless so Five plans something to celebrate to show Will that he is loved.

Will and Five drunk dancing together. Five being proud of Will whenever he does anything from finishing a painting to standing up for himself.

Five getting mad at vending machines and Will laughs in amusement at first but then goes to help him out as they both have their snacks together.

Five being protective of Will especially when Mike comes around because if this gibber idiot can't see how special Will is, then he doesn't deserve him. Five ready to throw hands when Mike says something stupid to Will, fuming and mad because no one gets away with treating Will like he's worthless and Will has to physically stop Five from fighting Mike with an axe.

"Will, I'm about to beat this bitch up for treating you like garbage." "FIVE PUT THE AXE DOWN!" "Why does your crazy friend have an axe?" "OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, MIKE WHEELER! MY FRIEND IS FUCKING CRAZY AND HE WILL KILL YOU!" "Thanks Will. Make your peace with God Mike -" "Not today, Five. Maybe later." "Fine. But if you're am asshole to Will one more time and I don't care what Will says, I will kill you myself. Do not test me."

Will standing up for Five telling the Hargreeves that they should appreciate Five more because he literally saved them all. Five enjoys this but is surprised and moved. Basically now all the Hargreeves siblings have adopted Will and Five has to fight to get to spend time with his friend.

Five and Will getting into all these adventures. Will possessing Joyce's crazy fierce spirit and Five's absolute badassery make them a dynamic duo to be reckoned with. At the end of the day, they look out for each other and when they get wounded, they take care of each other.

Will and Five bickering like an old married couple. Will is stubborn and so is Five. Both of them have arguments which don't last for long because dammit Will, Five doesn't want to see him sad and Will might be right and dammit Five, you might be right too. Both of them are back together in a matter of minutes and find a way together.

Five isn't really into physical affection but Will is into physical affection. They hold hands, hug each other, ruffle each others hair, hold each other when they are crying or had a nightmare and even random cheek or forehead kisses.

Five: Will, you're a genius! I've got to go! Will: Aren't you forgetting something? Five:.... Um (Kisses Will on the forehead) Will: NO! Pay the bill! Damn, who raised you?

Will and Five calling each other nicknames but also just little things like 'darling' or 'sweetheart' just slips out. They'd be speaking with each other and just call each other those nicknames so naturally and normally that they don't see others smirking or raising eyebrows. (Especially Mike who is confused and jealous of this awesome dynamic)

Five and Will getting drunk together. Five's 'fuck it' attitude has rubbed on Will who doesn't care. When both of them get drunk, chaos ensued and they have a wonderful time together.

Five and Will wanting each other to be happy because they have been hurt and miserable for too long and they both deserve happiness and relaxation and friendship. This means Five and Will trick and treating together. Five dressing up as himself out of retirement to annoy Will who put thought into his costume. But Five has a backup costume which he actually put thought to and they have a good time.

Basically Will and Five being platonic chaotic besties that they both deserve and maybe even more as time goes on. This is how I see them

Allison is so not out of character this season. We have the backstory of her where she essentially forced and fabricated every piece of her life using her rumors, only for her to eventually realize the horror of what she's done and try to Be Good the normal way and make amends. Frankly, up until this season, Allison's character has been so kind it felt honestly unrealistic sometimes!

Like she's deeply regretful and tries to reach out to Viktor in season 1, gets fuckin nearly killed and then he destroys the world and they all have to go back in time. Next, she has to be in the 60s as a black woman and has to face (a rather watered down version of history tbh) the horrors of that time period. Still, she manages to build a life despite having lost everything, and most importantly, her daughter. She's holding on because she believes her daughter still exists and can be saved, once Five returns. So she's not feeling completely hopeless yet, and she also has the emotional support of Raymond. Then (though i know it's not his fault), Viktor nearly causes another apocalypse, and she is forced to abandon Raymond, still though with hope of finding Claire.

Now in season 3, she find out Claire no longer exists and begins a breakdown. Subsequently, she finds out that there is another end-of-the-world coming as a result of the first one. None of her siblings besides Viktor seem to care or put any effort into finding a way to get Claire back. Once she finds out Viktor lied to her about Harlan, she clearly feels as though the one person who owed her the most would not prioritize getting her daughter back, and would even risk them. So now she doesn't have any support really, no one seems to care about bringing Claire back, and she's hopeless and angry and relapsing. Rumoring her siblings, Luther, even Sloane, is a sign of her losing her control and returning to bad behaviors.

I think this makes a lottt of sense for Allison and makes her a much more compelling character, though maybe somewhat less likable, than she has been in the last seasons.

ok i've said enough about five and klaus s4 breakdown rights, now what about sparrow ben 'i don't know who i am or what i'm worth outside of my family but almost everyone i grew up with just died one after the other in a matter of days and i feel like my sole surviving sibling who was the closest thing i had to a support network left me behind to get married and now she's also missing' hargreeves

[votearyastarkforqueeninthenorth]

WHY OH WHY isn't there more fanfics where Klaus Hargreaves is Immortal ™ and he survives the apocalypse and ends up raising (his tsundere of a brother) Number Five. Some quality time as dad/son mixed up with older/younger brother is just what they need! And me too. I read one but it's not enough I need more! Please help meeeeeeeeee 🥺

[multifandomstranger]

Ok i have some thoughts regarding the tattoo that Five got. Idk if it was just me but I felt it was so irrelevant?? Like they never brought it up again? And ig it could have been smth ab the inevitability of fate and accepting your destiny or whatever but yh they just never talked an it?? Like does the family even know he got it ?? Probably not . I just thought it would’ve been cool if they brought it up.

Also smth that would’ve been super cool - y’know in the final episode when they are all looking for the symbol? The same symbol that is part of Five’s tattoo? Yeah i thought it would be really cool if the symbol ended up BEING Five -or at least his tattoo, and they would have to kill him to save the world. It would bring some interesting moral conflicts and we’d really see just how far Five is willing to go to save the world/ his family. Also if they did decide to kill Five it would be cool to like still have the new universe and explore the feelings of betrayal that would bring up, because Five has literally run himself into the ground and done so much to save his family and then they just kill him?? Idk I just think it would be funky. Ok I’m gonna shut up now.
