Benefits include:
They can literally just move to a different time period and Reginald will never find them
The world doesn’t end
Everyone calms tf down and becomes birdwatchers or something
Instead of being raised in an absuive mansion with illustrated lessons on how to kill people on the walls, they probably grow up on like a farm with cows and chickens and a goat and no Spikey Murder Dungeon in the basement, like seriously what the everlovin’ crap Reginald
Luther finally shuts up about the moon because he has no absuive billionaire of a father to send him there
Vanya gets to have like, emotions, which contributes to her not ending the world
The entire family goes to every last one of Vanya’s violin recitals
They wear matching T-shirts
Endless love and support for Klaus
His mom teaches him how to make vegan donuts and paper cranes rather than locking him up in a mausoleum
The world doesn’t end
Instead of, you know, death, Ben gets his own bookshelf and a garden and a cat named The Good Doctor Snugglebunches, Esquire.
Hazel and Agnes have to explain why/how they adopted seven children who were all born to different families on the exact same day all at once
Also why they named one of them Five
This is more of a problem than a benefit but it’s fantastic for anyone who gets to watch
The absolute hilarity of Hazel accidentally fangirling about Five’s Murder Escapades to a Five who was never recruited by a shadowy time travel agency
Hazel: “wow, it’s such an honor, your work in bukhara was absolutely legendary, I can’t believe—”
Little bebe Five, who has never been to Bukhara: “???????”
Five gets to break the laws of space-time as much as his little nerd heart desires without getting stuck in the literal apocalypse
Five: “I want to time travel”
Hazel, already pulling out his Time Travelin’ Briefcase: “okay, but I’m following along behind you just in case you get stuck sixteen years in the future, discover the world’s ended, and fall in love with a mannequin”
Five: “?????????????????????”
Agnes’s Vegan Donut Shop becomes a family business
They never have to deal with bad customers
Customer: *slightly raises their voice at Agnes*
Diego: *already pulling out his knives*
Allison becomes a Hollywood Starlet in any cinematic era she desires because time travel
Their interests are supported and encouraged by their parents regardless of what they are
Klaus: “I want to learn how to do makeup and wear skirts and also can I borrow your heels”
Agnes, who was unfazed by the whole Time Traveling Assassin thing and certainly doesn’t care about this: *gets out her car keys* “lets go shopping”
Diego, age six: “I want knives”
Hazel, a literal assassin who is fuzzy at best about the whole “raising children” thing and whose murder idol turned out to be a thirteen year old boy: “here’s a butterfly knife now try not to stab your brother”
(He stabs his brother)
The world doesn’t end
Hazel slides Vanya a donut every time someone tries to make her eat oatmeal. It causes a fight about properly balanced diets and good nutritional habits but no one dies
Allison never rumors her daughter because she was raised to respect others’ boundaries and to not abuse her powers
If anyone tries to pull the same “I’m the only one who has ever loved you, you can’t trust your family” crap on Vanya again, her five brothers, Scarily Competent Sister, Literal Assassin Father, and Rolling Pin Wielding Mother time travel to the moment before he says it and beat the living daylights out of him
The Commission isn’t a problem because the second someone touches a hair on Agnes’s head, her overprotective superchildren steal their dad’s briefcase, show up on the Commission’s doorstep, and utterly destroy them.
Vanya flattens them with a violin solo but not before Diego stabs everyone in sight and Five becomes newly confused as to why everyone here pisses themselves when he looks their way
The Handler, Dot, Gloria, the entire office pool, everyone caught in the Ol’ Grenade Incident of ‘19: “crap it’s number five, someone hide the bazookas”
Five, pausing in his quest to beat a man into unconsciousness with nothing but a stapler: “???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”
They go caroling every Christmas as a family, not because they like it, but because everyone secretly derives pleasure from the pure unadulterated despair that they see in the neighbors’ eyes when the Rofa Family shows up on their doorstep and starts screeching Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer at the tops of their lungs
Yes, they all take Agnes’s last name
The world doesn’t end
I rewatched Kiki’s Delivery Service recently, and it inspired me for a little Kliego AU ~
Klaus is a witch whose power is to see dead people, but he’s afraid of them. So when he leaves for a year like any witch, he tries to prove himself without using his power.
(the picture behind is a picture from a town named Colmar)
Luther (Number One): House of Memories
I think of you from time to time More than I thought I would You were just too kind And I was too young to know That’s all that really matters I was a fool
Diego (Number Two): The Good, the Bad, and the Dirty
If you wanna start a fight You better throw the first punch Make it a good one And if ya wanna make it through the night You better say my name like The good, the bad, and the dirty
Allison (Number Three): LA Devotee
Static palms melt your vibe Midnight whisperings
The black magic of Mulholland Drive Swimming pools under desert skies Drinking white wine in the blushing light Just another LA Devotee
Klaus (Number Four): Don’t Threaten Me with a Good Time
I was the king of this hologram Where there’s no such thing as getting out of hand Memories tend to just pop up Drunk pre-meds and some rubber gloves Five-thousand people with designer drugs Don’t think I’ll ever get enough
Five (Number Five): Crazy=Genius
If crazy equals genius Then I’m a fucking arsonist I’m a rocket scientist If crazy equals genius You can set yourself on fire But you’re never gonna burn, burn, burn You can set yourself on fire But you’re never gonna learn, learn, learn hey!
Ben (Number Six): Hallelujah
Then the time for being sad is over And you miss ‘em like you miss no other And being blue is better than being over it
No one wants you when you have no heart and I’m sitting pretty in my brand new scars and You’ll never know if you don’t ever try again
Vanya (Number Seven): Impossible Year
There’s no good times This impossible year Just a beachfront of bad blood And a coast that’s unclear All the guests at the party They’re so insincere They just intrude and exclude
the gays stay winning
The original idea came from @coffiero who did some nice edits and I recommend you to check it out, but I love Palaye and I have some hot takes, so, enjoy!
(all the gifs are from @veganvenom show some love)
Luther Hargreeves - Clockwork
"Time, lonely dreams
I have lost everything
Seasons change, colors fade
Lifeless flowers on the floor
Blooming on my grave"
Diego Hargreeves - Morning Light
"We live for, we yearn for
The things that we're born for
Yesterday's today's tomorrow
We try for, we die for
The things that we long for
If needed beg steal and we'll borrow
The morning light will lead you
No weapon will defeat you"
Allison Hargreeves - Die For Something Beautiful
"You got to die for something beautiful
Diamonds break our aching minds
Elegance is turning us sober
You'll regret the time"
Klaus Hargreeves - Dying In A Hot Tub
"I can see behind your eyes
Your mind is getting wasted
But you're always getting wasted all the time
Getting concerned about your lonely days
You're doing some more drugs
And your getting caught in your drug phase"
Five Hargreeves - Primary Propaganda
"Never know what you got
Chasing down the word of God
People can't afford their lives
Dying from the organized
Don't look back on what you've done before
Don't follow the lines that lead you out the door
Don't look back at your mistakes
Kids you only got a few more days"
Ben Hargreeves - Where's The Boom?
"God saved the queen
But didn't saved me
Didn't had time for me
And I want to say
My dreams are dead again"
Vanya Hargreeves - Death Dance
"I can't take it, all these memories
I can't fake it, I'm trying but I am dying
I just want to, oh, just be myself
I have tried to, but now I'm someone else
So please be kind, I'm losing my mind
I'm really not fine"
lookie here its our fave ghostly duo !!! finally finished this after a long while OOF–
Five is arrested for “public drunkenness, loitering, and the violent physical assault of three” outside the library and taken in to the station for some standard documentation and a night in juvie (its his first trespass with the law so he gets it pretty light), but a few days later, the station receives a notice: the fingerprints they pulled off “Five Horgreaves” came back with a match. The cold case from the 1930s, and the shooting at Griddy’s.
In this essay I will....
☂️ The Umbrella Academy - 2 & 4 ☂️
Diego and Klaus are a meme team of spiraling destruction and I love them both
