Hes A Tiny Bastard

Diego: I turned out perfectly FINE!

Luther: This morning you thought a ghost made your toast

Diego: I DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN! YOU DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN!

Ben, putting more toast into the toaster: Toasty toasty for my broski

while everyone was at the front gate of are 51 Justin Min sneaked in through the back and got his bentacles for season 2

HELL yeah

So I've been drawing TUA again lately and yesterday I just managed to get both my tablet and twitch working correctly.

If I were to host a stream on Sunday to draw, listen to my TUA playlist, and just chat about the show, would folks wanna join?

My art account is @wireless-art and rn I'm working on a handful of fun portrait projects (tho I intend for more complex things later. I have many ideas queued up.)

Sorry not sorry he is my son

alcoholic!ben dump

So this one night, Ben stumbles onto someone's yard and thinks it his own. The cops get called, and bring him three doors down to his a c t u a l home. aka: the academy

Ben is covered is bruises and cuts. He doesn't say anything but he starts sobbing, like full blown, snot and tears mingling on his chin sobbing.

Diego and Allison are awake and they try to calm him down. It doesn't work, he cries harder. Eventually they say fuck it and pull Klaus out of his room (he was awake because like. fuck sleep.)

So they beg him to h e l p because they have no fucking clue what to do and they know that Klaus is the only damn person Ben will listen to.

So Klaus. Sits there. Holds Ben's hand and nods along to what Ben says even though he has no fucking clue what he is actually saying.

He hands him tissues and runs his fingers through his hair.

They don't talk. They sit. Ben cries and pokes at his wounds and keeps crying about how he got brought home by the cops. It's a thing-and-a-half.

Eventually, Ben stops crying and just, laughs. Because he got brought home by the cops and went to the same bar six times and barley remembers his name, and it's not funny but it is.

His laughter is hallow though. Empty. And it sounds maniacal.

Klaus feels like crying and tries to get Ben to got upstairs and sleep. But Ben keeps on insisting he wants a smoke. Changes the subject a million and one times.

Klaus has tried anger and kindness and exasperation. But it's not working, so he just, sits there, next to Ben.

Ben pushes him off whenever Klaus tries to comfort. Ben talks too loudly to even be considered sober.

And quietly, Klaus says that maybe Ben needs help. And Ben lets out a harsh laugh and says: "No shit I need help. I actually...I've been thinking about it."

Klaus knows Ben won't remember saying this. That he'll get up and start drinking again. But there's...a glimmer of hope. He has a glimmer of hope that maybe, maybe Ben'll be okay.

So Klaus listens to the birds chirp and sees the sun rise through his window, and he thinks about everything.

Klaus has hope; he won't let that go. Not yet.

Word of the Day: терапевт (Day 2)

терапевт /tʲɪrɐˈpʲeft/ noun, general – physician, general practitioner

У кабинета терапевта собралась очередь. A queue gathered at the therapist’s office.

Please note therapist in Russian would be психотерапевт, without that психо-part, it is just a GP.

TUA characters as the Greek Gods

Luther: Zeus, God of the Sky. Rules as king of the gods.

Diego: Poseidon, God of the Sea and Earthquakes. Known to be one of the most moody and ill-tempered gods. Vengeful when insulted. Often asserts his independence from the other gods and acts against the rule of Zeus. 

Allison: Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty. Many stories about her include themes of deception and persuasion. In Rick Riordan’s books, she’s said to change faces rapidly to appeal to the tastes of whoever is looking at her.

Klaus: Hades, God of the Underworld.  Kind of self-explanatory.

Five: Hermes, God of Travelers, Thievery and Cunning.  Though Five definitely isn’t the most hospitable in the family, he does travel across space and time.  He’s also cunning and willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants.

Ben: Hecate, Goddess of Ghosts, Magic, and Crossroads.  Not only is Ben a ghost, he also puts Klaus in front of a lot of proverbial crossroads by challenging his worldview and basically acting as his conscience. 

Vanya: Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution.  Often punishes people because they are arrogant, or because they’ve received good fortune that they didn’t deserve.

Him cracking a dumbass comment forgetting everyone can hear him. Or singing out loud. Him forgetting to eat and when he remembers he wants to try everything again. Ben forgetting he can hang out with the others rather than just klaus. Ben forgetting the people who interact with him aren’t actually dead. I just want a lot of Ben content tbh

If (when) Ben is brought back to life I better see him forgetting he is alive and walking face first into a wall thinking he can phase through and just making comments over people talking because oh shit they can hear too and now its considered rude

Seeking collaborators for Seven Umbrellas: A Super Unofficial Musical

For those of you who haven’t been following me/7U, hello! I’m an amateur theatre songwriter, and since last fall, I’ve been writing a Fringe-esque full-length musical adaptation of The Umbrella Academy Season 1 (with key bits of influence from the comics). With 90% of the score written, much of America still shut down, and Season 2 slated for July 31st, I thought now would be the time to throw together a polished album, reading, or series of videos of the material as a collaborative fan-filmy project!

I’m currently seeking folks with experience in singing/acting, media production, editing, music supervising, etc. to workshop this with. Here is a link to a Google Drive folder with rough demos of the first two songs as well as the corresponding pages in the current script so one could get a feel for the tone. Anyone who’s interested, please shoot me an email at 7uMusical@gmail.com for more info! I’m opening this up to the Internet at large, so feel free to share this post wherever and with whomever :)
