I really love this series! And I’m REALLY looking forward to the second season!!!
So I kinda fell short on the tuapocalypse this March/April. Because of the recent tua S2 hype, though, I ended up finishing some of my drawings. Get ready for some very late tua posts this week
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
I doodled something during History class (online) so I might as well dump this here as proof that this blog is not dead yet. maybe.

В палату примчались санитары. The orderlies rushed into the room.
This is the Day 4 of the handwriting challenge. I’m very glad that many of you have been enjoying it! Three more days, and you are done!
Testing post with trash art of my best boi.

После пятичасовой операции хирург чувствовал себя измождённым. After a five-hour surgery, the surgeon felt exhausted.
The handwriting challenge is on, and your contributions and support so far have been awesome! Keep up the good job!
Day one Day two
Day 2: Partners in Crime
i made a post recently about how luther's four-year soirée on the moon was actually long-term solitary confinement and thus torture and could explain his actions during season one—
(—and yes i know five had it way worse but he also at least had time to adjust and get used to being around people again while he worked for the commission, whilst luther ended his four-year long solitary upon finding out that his father died, and was then immediately thrown back into the thick of things with a whole murder conspiracy and the sudden threat of the apocalypse, and—)
—but that doesn't even go into the fact that he was the only member of the academy who was permanently and severely disfigured due to their work as the umbrella academy.
no wonder he was so determined to defend the umbrella academy—because if not, then what was it all for.
he was permanently disfigured (he has the body of a fucking ape) and he may or may not have lost his powers (he threw a guy through a third-story window at thirteen years old and was completely unfazed after intentionally falling through the fucking ceiling—i don't care how skilled hazel is, there's no way he could defeat luther at full strength—super-strength and durability is his whole thing)
and sure vanya was drugged for years and five was reverted back to a child, but neither of those things are permanent, and five's issue has nothing to do with hargreeves
but luther? he has the body of a fucking ape.
hargreeves turned him into a fucking ape and then shipped him off to the fucking moon for four years straight of torture via extreme solitary confinement.
and you wanna tell him that was all for nothing?
that it wasn't worth it because his father wasn't who he said he was and none of what they were doing was actually saving the world?
i'd be in denial, too—holding onto the idea that it meant something, that it happened for a reason—that it was worth it.
jesus.
sorry for hating on you, luther, and belittling what happened to you :(
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.
This is the Day Two of the handwriting challenge. Join us if you haven’t yet! Here is more info about the challenge. Here is the Day 1 word.
Word of the Day: медсестра (Day 1)
This week, let’s honor healthcare workers.

Handwriting challenge reminder: reblog the word of the day with your handwriting added to the post and win a prize! More details on the challenge here.
Handwriting Challenge Starts Tomorrow!
Okay, we are launching a new challenge so that you won’t get too bored being at home all the time. This time, it is a handwriting challenge!
For the next seven days, I will post a word of the day at 6 AM Eastern Time (EDT) every day. Just as usual.
You write a word of the day by hand, preferably in Russian cursive, take a photo of it and reblog the word of the day with your handwriting. Step by step instruction:
1. Check a word of the day here on Proper Russian
2. Write it down on paper - preferably in cursive
3. Reblog the word of the day post with your handwriting added.
4. Repeat for the next 6 day, one week total
5. Get a prize: 100 most frequent Russian nouns - vocabulary card set (pdf, hi-res, printable)
I decided not to send out any physical items this time, because I don’t want to overload the postal services during the pandemic. Instead, I’ll send the printable pdfs to everyone who dares to participate.
Do you dare to practice Russian handwriting?
Good luck!
P.S.: I think it is going to be fun. My Russian handwriting is butt ugly, so the chances are your handwriting is better. Don’t be shy!
Rewriting tua: Diego is there in time to get eudora's call, the two of them rescue klaus together?
Everyone actually notices Klaus is gone
At least half of them apologise for not noticing Klaus was gone/ failing to rescue him
Klaus shares what actually happened to him
Klaus gets to beat a MF up at least once
Luther and Allison are BEST FRIENDS ONLY
We get an entire fun episode from Claires pov as a chill intermission without angst
Similarly we get an entire episode from Ben’s pov and it’s revealed that in between helping Klaus he just dicks around in the afterlife
Vanya is gay/bi/pan
Five stays in his old man suit from the 1st episode the whole time
Eudora joins the team instead of dying
Dave joins the team instead of dying
At the very end of the season in the after credits scene at the very very end Delores talks out loud to everyone and what she says is “fuck”. It’s never mentioned or brought up again

I hope everybody gets a little bit of positivity and fun from this! Like a big fandom group hug. 🥰❤️ RBs on this post appreciated, signal boost!
Ben strikes me as the only sane person in a room full of overdramatic weirdoes. Like Luther would be off puffing his chest and saving the world, Diego would be Brooding in a corner and Vanya would have one of her emotional speeches about being alone and he’d just be like
just a random headcanon:
where klaus has a really long an elaborate coffee order and ben has memorized it because he loves him.
ben also made his coffee order really simple just so klaus could remember it. ben still has to help him remember it sometimes though lol
klaus buys both coffees and drinks them both even though he doesn’t even like ben’s order.
i love my coffee boys :,)
I absolutely love it. Thank you!!

“You’ll get used to it,” Ben said gently.
There was nothing about this that Eudora could see herself getting used to. She knew that Diego’s dead brother was trying to help her, but how was she supposed to be taking this? She was dead. Eudora was dead.
“I know it sucks,” Klaus offered, “But hey. You’ve got options, here. It’s kind of complicated, but I can try to explain.”
Eudora nodded, “Okay.”
“You can move on to whatever afterlife you believe in if you want,” Klaus explained, “Basically just by believing it. Or if you don’t want to, you can stick around and haunt the living. You can’t affect the physical world, but you can go around stalking your loved ones until they join you, like some people.”
Ben’s swat went right through his brother’s arm, “You know you’d be lost without me.”
Klaus shrugged, “Fair.”
“I’m his impulse control,” Ben explained, “All of it. If I wasn’t around to look out for this loser, he’d have joined us a long time ago.”
“I’m not totally helpless!”
“Are to!”
“Am not!”
As the brothers bickered, Eudora tried not to throw up. Could ghosts even throw up? She was having a panic attack, here, and in life she hadn’t even had anxiety.
“I can’t do this right now,” she managed to gasp out before running, straight through the wall outside. The outside air didn’t make a difference.
“Eudora! Hey, Eudora, wait!”
Ben was following her, which didn’t make sense. Eudora hadn’t known him when he was alive. She hadn’t even met Diego yet when he died. Why would he want to help her?
“Eudora!”
Eudora finally managed to stop running, trying to calm down as she found herself in the middle of an empty street.
Ben wasn’t panting from chasing her. Ghosts didn’t need to breathe.
“Hey, I know how scary this can be,” he said gently, “Believe me. I know. I went through this, too. It’s disorienting at first. But you’re not alone, here. You’ve got me and Klaus to help you through this. If you want, I can convince my doofus brother to give Diego a message for you. Not sure if he’ll listen, since he’s still grieving, but...”
If possible, that made Eudora feel even worse. Her friends. Her family. Everyone thought she was dead, because she was. She’d left her family behind.
And Diego probably thought this was his fault. He probably blamed himself for not getting to her fast enough.
“It gets better,” Ben pressed, “Eventually, you get used to watching from the outside. You stop seeing it as just a curse.”
“What else could it be?” Eudora snapped.
“You get a chance to watch over the people you love,” Ben said, “You can’t talk to them, but you get to see all their accomplishments. You can see them learn. Watch them grow. And eventually... maybe you get the opportunity to let them know that you never really left them.”
Eudora took a deep breath, or what passed for one as a ghost.
“I’m going to stay and watch over the people I love.”
“Okay,” Ben agreed, “If that’s what you want.”
“I’m going to wait for a chance to tell them how much I love them.”
“Okay. I’ll be right here with you. Need a hug?”
Eudora chuckled, “I wouldn’t say no.”
To be honest, that hug from her boyfriend-ish’s super nice dead brother made everything feel a bit better.
