1 week to want to give Vanya a hug again
Cool beans
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.
I had way too much fun with this. Basically what I think each of the siblings would make Five wear if he had to get rid of his blood stained uniform. Fratricide was nearly committed from all sides during the process

Watch this. And then watch it again. Focus on someone different each time
Hug Vanya2
White Violin because we didn’t get to see Vanya play this season
I'm seeing a few posts about vanya possibly being Confused and Perturbed about her Number Buddy in The Sparrow Academy being A Cube (and they're Wonderful posts) but think it would just be hilarious if Vanya looks at Christopher for Five Seconds and just decides "okay yeah we're cool we're friends now" and both the Sparrows and Umbrellas are like "???????"
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 crouching down to speak to Vanya in season 2 remains one of the funniest things to me.
leave vanya and her pink nokia alone
