Diego, You’re Not Commission Material, All Right? You Got An Obstinate Nature To You.

White Violin because we didn’t get to see Vanya play this season

Merry Christmas 🎷🐛

I’m calling it

I think they’re gonna kill Sparrow!Ben in season 3.

the umbrella academy season 2 + who needs context?

What do you think it was like for Vanya when she was in that weird trance in 1x10?

Because I’m partial to autistic!Vanya I see her trance as kind of a sci-fi version of a meltdown: She goes completely nonverbal, displays out-of-character levels of aggression, wants to stick to her routine by attending her concert, and only shows signs of self-awareness when Alison is nice to her instead of trying to attack her like her brothers. I think internally it may have been a similar experience to the one they showed us in season 2 when she’s being electrocuted. The cataclysmic power just adds some  *✧･ﾟ:*spice.･ﾟ: *✧

The Little Vanyas

Vanya’s mind

i have a lil canon divergent trans vanya story that’s been on the slow cooker in the back of my mind, here’s what i’ve got so far. his name is ivan bc vanya is a diminutive of ivan and also ivan is a cool name that slaps hard

- he sits down to write the book and does actual introspection for the first time in his life and he’s like ohhh my god im not a girl. idk for sure what i am yet but it sure as hell isn’t a girl. so he calls up diego and is like “hey so you’re trans” and diego is like “…….hello to you too” and ivan’s like “okay so fun fact! so am i” and diego is popping bottles

- diego comes over and mayhaps they both get a little drunk and diego’s like so what’s up? and ivan is like “okay so i was writing this tell all memoir about our childhood-” and diego goes i’m gonna stop you right there. no you absolutely are not. so the book doesn’t get written, ivan and diego get a lot closer, and ivan doesn’t burn bridges with the rest of his siblings

- after a while ivan is like fuck it……hrt time. he goes to the doctor and the conversation goes a lil like this: doctor: are you on any prescription medications? :) ivan: uhhh yeah 500000 milligrams of fuckshit, take twice a day and supplement as needed :) doctor, picking up the phone: okay so we’re checking you into the hospital right now immediately. also i think you need to fire or maybe kill your psychiatrist 

- so he gets off the meds way sooner! this has two major impacts: he learns about his powers, and he gets more in touch with his emotions. his powers scare the hell out of him but he’s got diego, and klaus too when he’s reachable (he/they solidarity)! klaus is the one who puts it together that allison must have rumored him and it’s a good thing she’s on the other side of the country bc in that moment ivan may have killed her. but she’s not, and he has time to calm down and process how he feels about it.

- he gets a lot more confidence and self esteem and starts going to Real Therapy. he becomes much closer with his coworkers at the orchestra, he gets second chair, the kids he tutors LOVE him. one day he and allison are able to have a (mostly) civil talk about it and they start rebuilding that bridge together, allison even invites him to a couple movie premieres. there are still setbacks and bad days and things aren’t perfect but they’re getting better and god they could be so much worse 

- so all in all things are going pretty well! the Conflict would come from reginald somehow realizing that ivan’s off the meds but like i don’t actually have any more details, i just think it would be interesting

- i think the apocalypse could still happen, but it would be a result of reginald himself trying to contain ivan rather than what actually happens in s1. it would be interesting though bc five wouldn’t have ivan’s book in the future and wouldn’t know anything about what happened after he left 

Sparrow Academy Information

⚠️Season Two and Hotel Oblivion Spoilers⚠️

The Basics: Who are they?

The Sparrow Academy is another version of the Umbrella Academy. They are another group created by Reginald Hargreeves, or The Monocle in the comics, to help save the world. In the comics, they are top-secret, and exist at the same time as the Umbrella Academy. They recruit Vanya in the comics to be part of their team. Grace, or Mother in the comics, is in charge of them. In the show, it seems to be implied that they overwrite the Umbrella Academy, and are the only superhero group.

2. Their powers

Here are some of their powers in use at the end of Hotel Oblivion:

- Turn into sparrows

- Voodoo (Attack self, others take damage)

- Super strength

- Eye beam

- The cube guy?

- Rumor power

The other powers are unknown.

3. What happens next?

Lester, who is supposedly with the United States government, is tired of all these superheroes and villains nearly destroying the world. He is going to do something to regulate it. We don’t know yet, but I have a feeling it will have Captain America: Civil War vibes.

I hope this answered some questions you all have! Feel free to send some asks!
