AU where Sissy and Vanya get to be the parents Harlan deserves
tiny art dump titled I Am In Love With Vanya Hargreeves
she was not fragile like a flower (insp.)
I’m calling it
I think they’re gonna kill Sparrow!Ben in season 3.
Umbrella Academy sketch dump!! I love this show
Yknow what gave me feels when rewatching season 1 of Umbrella Academy? Episode 10, when Vanya tears down the Academy.
She walks through all their rooms and sees her siblings, their younger versions, dismissing her, telling her off and treating her like shit.
The only one of them she doesn't see? The only one who's not mean to her? The one she doesn't blow up alongside the house?
Five.
What I'm saying is Five was probably the one person alongside Pogo and Grace in this house who treated Vanya decently and that gives me fucking feels. You could even argue to cut out Pogo and Grace and say he's the only one, cause the two knew how Reggie manipulated her but didn't do anything.
So yeah when Five disappeared, the academy probably turned into hell on earth for Vanya.
That and knowing how soft he's with her, in the very first episode and all through season 2, Vanya being the one he looks at before he decides to storm off, the first one he calls out for when he gets stuck in the apocalypse...
I'd even go as far as say he could've calmed Vanya down when she was going all White Violin and world destruction mode. But he didn't try. Because he was more fixed on stopping the apocalypse, saving the lives of billions than the life of his sister. Because killing is the way he's always taken when fixing the timeline and there wasn't really the time to consider other options in the concert hall.
Also their show off in season 2? I'm crying it was so amazing? Pitting the actual two most powerful and dangerous members of the academy against each other and so underlining their positions in regards of power? It's even canon that they are the most dangerous of the bunch. Just imagine what would happen if those two ever turned out enemies. A whole fucking mess.
Look at their social skills I'm crying.
I also can't but wonder what would've happened if Five hadn't disappeared. If Vanya would've turned out any different. Maybe she would've felt more at home with him. Maybe she wouldn't have written the book. Maybe Five would've defended her from Reggie and the others.
Maybe in season 3, if the Sparrow Academy actually consists of the original squad but differently aged, Vanya is part of the team. And maybe her and Five are really fucking good together.
I need more Vanya and Five as kids. More of how they were at the same age. I feel like something of their relationship got lost because Five is older than her now, more taking on the big brother part than anything else, and given the fact both of them grew up separately under wildly different circumstances after the age of 13, that's of course completely reasonable.
But it makes me want those interaction even more.
GIVE ME FIVE AND VANYA.
luther
cis and doesn’t really get the whole gender thing, but hes supportive
diego
honestly, im conflicted but im going to tentatively say cis
has definitely thought about his gender in depth before, especially after like all his siblings started coming out as trans (so around the age of 15 right until he was 22)
but, eventually, he knows that he’s, without a doubt, a dude
allison
nb
pronouns are she/they
will steal clothes and makeup and just like. anything and everything from klaus
feels a disconnect from womanhood, but also a connection? its complicated
once they tried to explain their gender to luther and he really didn’t understand anything but he was like ‘i have no idea what that means but i support you and youre still my best friend : )’ and allison is like. yeah okay good enough
will call themself a woman, and is fine with with other trans people calling them a woman but no one else
wlw and nblm
is open about her gender and doesnt really make a big deal about it, but the first time she called herself trans or nonbinary there were so many articles published about it and everytime someone interviewed her they asked her about it and she just -_-
klaus
nb
pronouns are he/him
will steal clothes and makeup and just like. anything and everything from allison
honestly doesn’t feel particularly connected to womanhood or manhood or any specific label, he’s just vibing
nblm and nblw
five
age twelve he told everyone he was a boy and then proceeded to completely ignore anyone who slipped up
came out at the same time as vanya
they were pretty much the same size so grace swapped his and vanya’s wardrobes
really he only knew people could be trans because vanya came up to him and was like ‘i think im a girl?’ and he was like ‘you can do that?’ and shes like ‘i think so?’ and hes like ‘oh. me too then’(but abt being a boy) and then he proceeded to find as many books on the subject as he could and shared them with her
grace had actually given him a name but he decided he likes five better
ben
well. five and vanya came out and ben immediately started reading everything he could find about trans stuff and while reading he was like. huh that sounds like me.
so, two and a half weeks after five and vanya come out ben is like ‘okay me too.’
he decided on the name ben for himself
vanya
she kind of always hated being referred to as a boy. like she hated it so much, it was one of the few things that could actually elicit a strong emotion out of her and for the longest time she has no idea why
then one day, someone refers to her as a girl and shes like !!!! holy shit!! im a girl!!
a few years later, after holding onto this and mulling it over, she approaches five bc hes her best friend obviously
they read so many books about being trans and gender and shit and shes a little @_@ but! shes having fun and five is using the right pronouns for her and its the most comfortable shes ever felt
she told five that she wanted to come out, but was really nervous about it and he offered to come out with her (he was kind of already waiting for her to be ready for that anyway but she doesnt know that)
unlike ben, she did not want to change her name! she really likes the way vanya sounds and its very much her name
tag any of this as ship and i will eviscerate you ❤ they are siblings and they love each other siblingly
So like- at first I thought that Five being the only one who wasn’t killed instantly by The Handler was just very convenient, but this is The Handler we’re dealing with. She’s good. She knows how to shoot someone fatally, she simply chose not to, she wanted him to be last one alive, for him to know what she had done. She knows him and his biggest fears, she wanted him to suffer.
Five with Diego: Fuck you. You’re a piece of shit, you’re lucky I fucking found you dickhead
Five with Vanya: 🥺🥺 Take your time sweetie, ♥️ No pressure 💙💖
This is hands down one of the cutest things I’ve seen today! Credit to @/shuimilk on Instagram.
All these lovesick idiots did was talk about running away together and then they actually did.
- lowkey mocking Carl at the dinner table
- playing hide and seek with Harlan
- "Is there any way tacos will cause the end of the world?"
- drunk finger guns
- her little hops into the group hug (big uwu)
- basically the whole salon scene with Klaus and Allison
- Vanya vs. Five standoff
- "oops" :3
- every moment of being gay with Sissy
- "Who I am is not a disease."
- learning to control her powers!!! strong independent woman!!!
- taking out a buttload of Commission agents at once
- The Scene With Ben (*sobs aggressively*)
- saving Harlan twice because she's just that badass
Feel free to add any of your favorites that I missed!

"My God, it's over?"
"Did we... actually succed at something? That's incredible!"
Is it weird a part of me is hoping the sparrow academy are just the guys from the hillywood parody?
OKAY THAT IS GENIUS AND ALSO HILARIOUS

reginald: even if, god forbid, i raised children, i would raise them with MANNERS
also reginald: kids! it’s 4pm!time for your emotional manipulation!
Wouldn’t it be fucked up if the seventh member of the sparrow academy was a box like in the comics?
I don’t know how to tell u this...
The Umbrella Academy Season 2 + foreshadowing
+ Bonus:
“Is there any way that tacos can end the world?”
THEY KIND OF DID THOUGH
Because they went out for tacos, her siblings convinced Vanya to tell Sissy how she felt.
That’s how they had the fight.
So Sissy came and found her afterwards, resulting in Carl seeing them and later threatening Vanya.
Which lead to Vanya and Sissy running sway, Vanya getting arrested, and then...
Her blowing up the FBI building.

little things i never want to forget about the hargreeves:
all of them used to defy hargreeves, sneak out to griddy’s, and in five’s own words “eat donuts until we puked. simpler times, eh?”
luther wrote poetry while he was on the moon, especially about comets
tom hopper and the UA crew have said that the scratches all over luther’s body were made by him. he couldn’t stand the loneliness, especially during that first year, and would often resort to harming himself as a way to vent his frustration
it’s also pretty likely that he’s had body dysmorphia at one point or another
he also has a habit of stress eating
diego has the cross stitch grace made specifically for him on the wall of his basement apartment, and in a frame no less
he’s also a big-ass momma’s boy
and he’s the only one grace calls “silly” as a term of endearment
and he has a fear of needles due to getting that tattoo when they were kids (y’all know which one i’m talking about)
plus his stutter only comes out when he’s under extreme emotional stress
and a close rewatch of 1X03 shows that his bedroom had an overflowing abundance of books so what if him and ben used to bond over that😭
allison speaks seven languages
she told her daughter about her siblings, and claire obviously knew them well enough that she was calling them "uncle” and “aunty,” and that last one is especially heartwarming because this was around the time that vanya’s book had just come out, and yet, allison–who has the option of never telling claire about her–still does, and even explains why she wasn’t allowed to go on missions
klaus was smoking blunts at fourteen
klaus was clutching dave’s dogtags right before five teleported all of them to the past
and i’ve noticed that he has a habit of doing that in general in season 2, especially when he’s feeling kind-of low, but sometimes it’s also an unconscious habit and that’s cute, too
klaus would write the things the dead would say to him, all over his bedroom wall
klaus has a habit of going barefoot whenever he’s at home
five was the only person vanya felt comfortable enough with to present new violin pieces to
five outright says that everything he’s done so far was to get back to his family and keep them safe
@me-evil-never wrote in the tags: “five has watched his family die/be dead like 3 times if i’m counting correctly (YES YOU ARE AND IT’S A PAINFUL FACT WE MUST ALL LIVE WITH), plus all he has ever done in his life since age 13 was to get back to them so he could spend time safely with them” and YES I AGREE why would you hide such an excellent point in the tags because, sometimes, even i forget that it’s only been two weeks for him, and they’re probably the roughest he’s had since being stuck in the apocalypse as an actual child, and idk about you guys, but i just really want to give five a big hug because lord knows he deserves needs it
allison used to paint klaus’ nails during meals
and was apparently a daddy’s girl, though how one could become a “daddy’s girl” if the father in question was reginald hargreeves is beyond my capacity to understand
ben was reading chekhov as early as 14
ben was a bookworm, both in life and death
vanya had the smallest room
vanya openly called ben the kindest of their siblings in her book, and said that when he died, none of them had any more reason to stay
before he left, diego gave reggie a piece of his mind
all of them know how to dance
they all know how to speak and read greek (ancient fucking greek, as one of you oh-so-eloquently put it)
vanya knows how to speak russian and god knows how many other languages
she also has a mr. snuggles teddybear
according to klaus, vanya used to cry when the others would step on ants as kids
klaus is pansexual
he also dated twins once (though i’m not sure if he dated one then the other or both at the exact same time)
and has mild claustrophobia from being locked up in mausoleums all the time as a child
diego swore a pinky promise with lila and called it “the pinkiest promise” he’d ever make, and even though he’s a hard-ass who won’t hesitate to cut anybody in half, he’s still at his gentlest when he’s around her and he doesn’t even try to hide it
off her meds, vanya got first chair and a solo on her first try (as a violinist in a professional orchestra, lemme tell you that this is no easy feat to do)
she also seemed to have an affinity for bach (again–not easy!!)
even though he was barely out of puberty, ben was smart enough to reprogram allison’s teddy bear to say “luther smells dad’s underwear.”
upon possessing klaus for a few minutes in season 2, ben could be seen clutching various flowers and smelling them repeatedly
klaus can actually levitate in the comics
according to @valkerymillenia, ghost!ben once saved klaus’ life in the comics after he overdosed on heroin yet again
both klaus and diego repeatedly tried to open the lock to vanya’s old anechoic chamber and were absolutely furious when luther wouldn’t let them
diego called elliott “one of ours” despite knowing him for all of a week and a half
he also calls herb “herbie,” calmed him down after accidentally drawing a weapon on him, and created a secret handshake with him, all within two hours tops of meeting him
if one really thinks about it, diego is actually good with people? and that makes sense because he left the academy as early as seventeen, and he would’ve had to talk to a lot of people just to make ends meet that first year alone, and even though reggie tried to squash that part of him down, he’s still a good person at heart, you go prince of pointy things, make us all proud
Diego, you’re not Commission material, all right? You got an obstinate nature to you.
The Umbrella Academy | 2.10 - “The End of Something”
the umbrella academy season 2 + who needs context?
Sorry to bother you but could I request some headcanons for autistic!Vanya? Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!
aaaaahhhhh I didn’t realize other people hc’d Vanya as autistic!! As an aspie, this makes me very happy.
She learned to read sheet music overnight. Actually playing the violin was a different story, but within a few days she could sight read better than many adults.
Unexpected physical contact makes her very nauseated! Do not!
Long sleeves keep you safe.
If someone starts talking or the music playing has words, she can kiss her train of thought goodbye.
Allison has to train her on how memes work.
She only writes her name in all caps, because VANYA is made with all straight lines.
Only verbal when she absolutely has to be.
She wrote her entire book in five days: No leaving the house, only sleeping when she couldn’t physically stay awake, etc. Her orchestra director even called to make sure she hadn’t died.
Often completely misses sarcasm when other people use it, but can sling it herself left and right. Even she’s confused by this.
She’s incredibly reliable. With a memory like a steel trap and an intense fear of letting people down, she has no choice but to be.
Rock concerts seem like they would be her worst nightmare, but she loves them. She just has to have time to prepare herself for that much stimulation.
Dissociation Queen
She wasn’t diagnosed until her twenties, when she actually went to therapy.
At first she was very upset by it.
“Great. So not only do I suck at everything, but my brain is messed up on a fundamental level. Love that for me.”
She’s since learned to identify and manage her symptoms. She can now avoid situations that would cause extreme distress, and somewhat keep track of Social Mistakes™ and learn from them.
She even joined a group for autistic adults at her therapists suggestion. She related to them more than anyone in her life.
“They’re just people. There’s nothing wrong with any of them. Maybe that means there’s nothing wrong with me either.”
