Me Watching Vanya And Sissy Fall In Love:

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

THE SIT-IN

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: *✧

This is hands down one of the cutest things I’ve seen today! Credit to @/shuimilk on Instagram.

Is it weird a part of me is hoping the sparrow academy are just the guys from the hillywood parody?

OKAY THAT IS GENIUS AND ALSO HILARIOUS

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!

The things the Hargreeves each say to Vanya in the brain eating scene match up perfectly with how they see themselves/who they are.

Klaus accuses her of faking it, when we see a performance from him for the entirety of the show. He fakes almost everything the family sees from him.

Luther accuses her of not trying hard enough, and we know that Luther thinks he wasn't a good enough Number One. He pins this on himself completely.

Allison accuses her of using her powers too much and not being able to handle the consequences. This TOTALLY follows with her s1 plotline and her decision to use and use of her powers in s2.

Ben says that she isn't ready and it isn't her fault. This is how Ben views his death, we know from s1.

Diego and Five don't say anything because they don't REALLY know themselves at all. These two have declined getting to know themselves in favor of dedicating themselves to saving others. Diego literally says he doesn't have daddy issues. Diego. And Five does not know who he is without an apocalypse, or what to do with himself when it's over.

I think this is interesting. I dunno. I don't think any of these people (except Ben) ACTUALLY feel this way about Vanya. It's an analysis on them, done by Vanya in Vanya's head, but because Vanya is the way she is, it gets directed at her.

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
