tua as Brandon Rogers clips
Im finally doing it- i'm finalky watching umbrella academy. And it all because of your Klaus reblog and art. Whatever happens to me im blaming you
FUCK YEAH! I hope you’ll enjoy it because it’s a really good show!!!!!!!!!
Happy super dysfunctional family birthday ☕️🎻🖤 (and happy inktober too!)
mother mother songs as umbrella academy characters because i got harassed to do it on discord LETS GO
Luther - Body from O MY. you can't convince me otherwise. that man is ⭐MONKEY DYSPHORIC ⭐
Diego - I'm rationing either Free for the complete attitude it brings for Diego, or Arms Tonite for the fact my brain cant and will never stop connecting it with him and Patch.
Allison - difficult one. EVERY bit of me wants to say Oleander. I'm attached to the connection, with no reasoning. sorry folks
Klaus - HE FITS SO MANY OF THEM. BUT I HAVE TO SAY IT. Verbatim. Verbatim for the WIN. i would say Slip Away as a animatic i did months ago where it showed his experiences with Dave and his family and the release of drugs but Verbatim has me. im sorry
Five - THIS ONE WAS OBVIOUS AND I HAD SO MANY I WANTED TO CHOOSE BUT ; Little Pistol. I have an animatic planned for it anyways so that's all good. i also connect him with Wisdom, which i think relates to how naive he was at a young age with hatred to his father.
Ben - Ghosting. leave me alone Tumblr. it's true.
Vanya - DIFFICULT ONE AGAIN. i want to say Dread in My Heart but overall.. Carved a Name.
extras!
overall siblings - Family by Mother Mother
Reginald - Business Man
The Handler - either Waiting for The World To End (which also fits Five and his apocalypse desperation!) or Oh Ana
Five is arrested for “public drunkenness, loitering, and the violent physical assault of three” outside the library and taken in to the station for some standard documentation and a night in juvie (its his first trespass with the law so he gets it pretty light), but a few days later, the station receives a notice: the fingerprints they pulled off “Five Horgreaves” came back with a match. The cold case from the 1930s, and the shooting at Griddy’s.
In this essay I will....
Ahem McDonald’s five au pls?
goddamn it’s been forever but i can’t stop won’t stop so you’RE GONNA HEAR ABOUT MY MICKEY D’S FIVE AU LET’S GO
so. the legal age you have to be to work at mcdonalds is? 14 years old according to google, but it may vary depending on the place. aidan is 16, five passes for 16 even though he’s 13 ok
there is absolutely no way he would actually let them say he’s 13 he’d be like “ugh at least make it 14 damn” even though,,, his birthday is in like,,, less than a year,, ok i realize that isn’t how ageing works but cut me some slack
POINT IS he passes for 14 ok. DOUBLE POINT is that he would wait until he’s legally 14 anyway so idk it works alright
but!! so !! plot time! this is the part i’m bad at but bear with me i’m onto something i swear
five is pissy bc he doesn’t really have anything to do. he takes school online bc he’s way above middleschool obviously, and like?? he moves fast with those classes too bc hes a genius like he knows big brain things yk
so anyway somebody (klaus) jokingly suggests “oh well maybe if youre bored you should get a job or smth it’s not like extra money can hurt anybody ever”
five’s thought process is like
if i get a job i earn money
if i earn money i can spend money how i want and not need to drag my idiot siblings along with me constantly
i GUESS it would be good to have job experience or something whatever
lets be real folks
nobody except for fucking mcdonalds would accept this garbage racoon child celebrity looking 14 year old asshole. i know im exaggerating and there are 100% other places that would employ this walking shitshow but my point stands
klaus and ben chanting: mc donalds! mc don alds! mc donaaaaaalds
five: ffffffffffffiNE
mc donalds it is
also yeah i know its not 2 words but this is my au and besides how can you prove it isnt 2 words in the tua universe?? you cant, check and mate
anyway
five marches his 14yo ass up to mcdonalds like “hire me” and they all just,, they look at this kid,, coming in in schoolboy shorts looking like a prep straight off the school website,, and they hire him instantly.
idk ive never worked at mcdonalds but lets say that there are mainly older teenagers there so like college/highschool students and five comes in on his first day in his too big uniform with a frown and messy hair, his older brother is waving at him from outside and they just “omg little sibling”
five is a prickly asshole! you know this! but they dont!! so they try to approach him and make him feel welcome and he just straight up hisses at them
woah there five thats not how you do social interaction
better luck next time?
anyway this isn’t actually the point of the au the point is five works at mcdonalds and the others take advantage of this always
klaus walks into mcdonalds and hes barely wearing a shirt, ben is trailing after him and the two walk up to where five is manning the cash register, klaus leans over and ruffles his hair, five rolls his eyes but doesn’t maim him immediately?
all of the other workers are like o.o
klaus, in the snarkiest fucking voice, asks five what he would recommend
“this is a mcdonalds”
‘yeah i know that what should i get’
“get a fucking smoothie i know you’re not gonna drink anyway and get out”
ben from behind: actually i wanted chicken nuggets–
“shut up ben you can’t even eat”
ben voice: smh rude
anyway. diego always. always. he fucking comes in decked out in his bondage gear and he walks up to the register completely deadpan but only when it’s five’s shift, and he stares deep into five’s eyes and orders
“one kid’s meal”
five stares back completely emotionless as he rings him up and says “anything else”
“no just the kids meal”
“do you want apple slices with that”
“yeah”
and then he gets the meal and just. gives it back to five. and he gives him the biggest shit-eating grin and tells him to enjoy his lunch and powerwalks out of there before five can get charged for murder
that only works once though bc next time five is READY but so is diego so he continuously orders frappes or whatever the fuck mcdonalds sells
i havent actually been inside a mcdonalds for months i can’t remember what the sell
oh wait lmao frappes are starbucks mcdonalds has uhh mcflurries???
is that what they’re called? mc flurries? what kind of fucking name is that akjdhfksd
ANYWAY THEY ALL BULLY FIVE AT MCDONALDS
allison walking in like “one fish fillet please :)” and everybody whispering bc ohmygod samantha look its ALLISON HARGREEVES what is she doing in our mcdonalds OHMYGOD–!!! and she just keeps smiling as five hands her the sandwich and she walks out, but walks back in seconds later
‘oh by the way luther’s picking you up today’
“i can walk”
‘no you can’t you have baby legs, i’ll see you when your shift is over bye!’
*five’s teeth creaking as he grins his jaw noises* “bye”
anywho
this au pleases me immensely ok
like
you don’t even know how much joy i have from picturing dead-eyed five in a mcdonalds uniform selling a doughnut
somebody keep this gremlin away from their coffee machines though. he learns to use them immediately and gets coffee constantly. they cant even call him out on it bc he pays everytime
well almost everytime but you know its whatever they’re all soft for their adolescent coworker anyway
ok this is where my brain goes bloop but i’ve began a shitty art for this au so like if i ever finish that i’ll put a link here ripppp
YEAH THAT’S IT aren’t you glad i exist because without me you wouldn’t have a mcdonalds five au, YOU’RE WELCOME
Character theories
Klaus’ powers will be explored more. But the fandom tends to focus on his Netflix powers and his comic levitation/telekinesis powers. I would be happy if these weren’t in the show (they’re a little much) but, instead, his comic possession powers were introduced. In the comic, he was able to kill cha cha and hazel by possessing Cha Cha and killing hazel and then making Cha Cha kill herself. Though Netflix Klaus is much softer than comic Klaus. I doubt he’d make anyone kill under his possession. BUT he could be great at infiltration js 🤷♀️
Diego will show off his aqua man powers.
Five will get a puppy, Mr. Pennycrumb. He will show more love to this dog than any human.
The timeline change could bring back Eudora. Maybe make it so that Diego never met her in the first place. Or Klaus could bring her back with his powers.
We will see where Hazel and Agnes ended up. I’m hoping we’ll see more of them. Maybe even join the team! Or settle down and adopt some kids together.
We will find out about bens death. Did he kill himself (As suggested by the quote on his statue “May the darkness within you find peace in the light”). This would explain why he doesn’t have any noticeable injuries.
Maybe he ripped himself apart so there wasn’t anything left to show as a ghost. That might be why he looks normal and aging as a ghost.
This is a stretch, but maybe he ended up in an alternate dimension. His chest contains an inter-dimensional portal with an assload of monsters. Would it be so hard to believe if he got mixed up with his own power?
Now more personal headcannons that aren’t based on comic/Netflix knowledge but I want them to happen anyway
The actions the Academy make in the past will cause a change in the future timeline. Maybe we’ll see the group with cellphones. I am here for a tua group chat. And then the off-brand “evens” group chat and “sisters” group chat.
Delores will come back.
At least one character will meet their birth mother.
Dave didn’t die. But more likely, they will meet him again in Texas BEFORE he technically met Klaus. Or Klaus will use the excuse of being in the past to look for Dave. (Vietnam war 1968—>JFK 1963)
The Academy will Groundhog Day the Apocalypse day until it works.
Kenny’s mom is in the commission. Or maybe even one of the 43 children.
The handler is not dead because she is one of the 43.
We will meet someone higher up in the commission.
Hazel and Cha Cha backstory
Bens power is not just to summon an octopus creature out of his chest. It’s to make a portal in his chest. So he would be able to summon other creatures as well (not just king Cthulhu or whatever). So we can see Ben summoning fairies, jackalopes, inter-dimensional kitty cats, giant dragon wings, etc. Maybe he has alternate dimension powers, similar to Five’s time and space manipulation.
Allison will be REDEEMED. She is a fantastic character and great mediator. Despite her past mistakes, she will be a vital part to the communication and relationships between the team.
Maybe coming back to life isn’t just Klaus’ thing due to his powers. Maybe all of the Academy have trouble dying (rip ben). Allison realistically should not have survived Vanyas attack. Luther shouldn’t have survived his accident.
Grace will come back. Diego will see her and MELT. She will also FINALLY finish her convo with Diego and tell him what she was going to before time reversed the first time.
Vanya will NOT be mad at her siblings she’ll just feel bad about what she did.
The siblings will find out that Allison rumored them in the past too.
The commission will un-monkey Luther.
There will be more communication between the siblings.
Hargreeves used the Academy to commit crimes for his personal benefit without them knowing.
Five does NOT get a girlfriend or boyfriend.
Allison will become a SINGLE MOM (with an appearance from Claire and maybe Patrick). She might get a new boyfriend in the past.
Ben will stay single.
Diego will get with somebody (Eudora or not).
The girl on the bus that smiled at vanya will come back. Maybe a new love interest to make Vanya rightfully into girls???
