HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIOT PAGE!!!! Made This Tiny Cute Animation For My Greatest Idol And Role Model. Oh

About Five and Vanya

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.

It’s an obsession by this point.

Also, Season 3 please

I'm rejecting the narrative where umbrella academy takes place in one of those Out of Time worlds because like. just THINK of the online freakout that would've happened when Vanya dropped her book. that would have been the That Bitch(tm) moment of the millennium. #ReginaldHargreevesIsOverParty would have been trending world wide. the DISCOURSE over her siblings actions that would have been started....and they're always going on about how she exposed family secrets but we don't even know what the secrets were! anyway here's some shitty memes I imagine would pop up on twitter after her book came out

Dang, Vanya, you were so close to tripping him up.

Vanya Hargreeves goes to therapy.

Just remembered that J Edgar Hoover (who was the first director of the FBI) was hostile to homosexuals as well as black people and communists

If Vanya came to the FBI’s attention because someone (I’m thinking sissy’s husband) reported her for homosexuality and incidentally coming into knowledge of Vanya’s abilities, it might make a logical pretext for bringing vanya in as an insane and dangerous person because (at that time) they think there’s something wrong with your mind if you’re gay

If the fbi arrests vanya for homosexuality in front of Sissy my fear is that sissy might not be able to put up much of a fight even if she wanted to. In fear of being arrested/sent to an asylum herself and be away from her son who appears (at least from spoilers) to might have special needs

That might explain why there’s an orderly behind vanya in that snippet where she’s being interviewed and subsequently chloroformed

And remember the white light that Allison and Ben were facing, what if it’s vanya after being subjected to torture?

Because the siblings powers are evolving, what if Five can turn back the time on things other than people. Like he can make a house go back in time to what it looked like 20 years ago.

Another idea I had is he can make events that happened in the past play again. Like if someone gets kidnapped and Five can replay the event to find out what happened.

Vanya fucking people up like a boss

Fucking tomorrow

Enjoy... whatever this is- but anywho I’ve been thinking about this for approximately a week-
