Reginald: Even If, God Forbid, I Raised Children, I Would Raise Them With MANNERS

1 week to want to give Vanya a hug again

Cool beans

vanya hargreeves + tumblr text posts

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 

The Umbrella Academy S2 - Hargreeves Siblings

Ok here's the essay (brought to you by Autistic Vanya Anon): I feel like Vanya has trouble with relationships, she avoids eye contact but I might be seeing things, I headcanon her to have cromesthesia which is a type of synesthesia which goes with autism sometimes, just interesting auditory issues in general, child!Vanya not wanting to eat certain foods (oatmeal), her hyperfixation on the violin, her apologizing for everything feels familiar too, and most importantly, I'm autistic and I said so.

Omg that’s so good

I’m jumping onto this bandwagon!

That’s such a good headcanon

Vanya Hargreeves from Netflix's The Umbrella Academy is autistic and finds verbal communication difficult. She's verbal because she's just barely capable of it and it's expected of her, but she communicates best through written words and music. She never learned how to use facial expressions. She does know how to use and understand voice intonation, since it's related to music, but she never has the energy to make her voice do what she wants. It's easier to use her hands.

i love these funky lil shits,,,,

just, who DOESN’T love one (1) dysfunctional family.

All these lovesick idiots did was talk about running away together and then they actually did.

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 world is full of injustice. Good people die along with the bad. This cosmic equation will never change unless evil itself is wiped from existence. Thankfully, there are powerful forces pushing back against the wicked and iniquitous. Individuals who have the strength to pull together against insurmountable odds, to face adversity with unblinking courage, and not to hesitate to sacrifice themselves for another. Unfortunately, none of you are such people.
