All These Lovesick Idiots Did Was Talk About Running Away Together And Then They Actually Did.

How I would open tua season 3

If they used the alternate selves in the timeline:

Dark stage. The Umbrella Academy theme starts playing (the one Vanya plays on her violin in season 1 episode 1) except with an electric guitar.

We don’t see the face, just hands playing on a dark stage.

Cut to the plant from Luther’s moon base. Pull out to reveal it is one of many plants Alternate!Luther is tending to. He has his body before the accident, he’s in the sunshine, he’s happy.

Cut to scene of the family being robbed. Same as before, a man in the shadows saves them. This time we see his police badge before we see Alternate!Diego’s face (free of scars.)

(And yes before you ask his charatcer arc in season 3 will be realizing how terrible the police force is.)

Alternate!Allison walks down a red carpet. Cameras flash. Pull up, the carpet is just a hallway. A little girl runs up and hugs her: Claire. She picks her up and they smile together for a camera. The camera is lowered revealing Patrick.

An orchestra’s rehearsal room. We see musicians taking their seats, readying their instruments. We don’t see Alternate!Vanya until we get to the front of the room. There she stands, baton in hand. She isn’t a musician, she’s the conductor. The music laid out in front of her is titled The White Violin- Vanya “last name.”

Sparrow!Ben in his uniform. He stands in front of the paparazzi, covered in flecks of flood. His team stands behind him. They’ve just saved another bank.

Each time we see a sibling, their number pops up just like the first episode of season 1, but then is crossed out and replaced with the same first name but different last names.

Cut back to the guitar on stage. Again, the musician is kept in shadow but more sound filters in. There’s a shouting audience. More lights, smoke, a band appears behind the guitar player.

Similar to the first episode we then flash over to each (ex) sibling watching a news story but this time it’s of the (new) Hargreeves foiling the bank robbery. Each looks on with a flicker of confusion, but then shake their heads. It’s nothing, it’s normal. They just imagined the sense of deja vu.

Final scene is of the stage, this time with a full band behind the guitarist and a cheering audience. We pan up to see Alternate!Klaus holding the guitar. At the crescendo the crowd goes wild. He holds the note and smiles at the audience, happy with the performance.

We follow Klaus walking backstage. His band clap him on the back. He turns a corner to find:

A portal opens. Our Five tumbles through.

S1E01 “We Only See Each Other at Weddings and Funerals” // S2E10 “The End of Something”

The best thing the Umbrella Academy ever did for me was Allison and The Gays™

I like the way they were all stood at Ben’s funeral

Luther is standing closer to Allison but also Pogo and R*ginald, which we already know that he was closest to those three.

Allison is standing next to Luther and Klaus. Klaus and Allison definitely had little sleepovers in each other’s rooms as kids.

Diego is standing away from everyone else and is standing by Grace, which shows he was probably only nice to Grace. We know he is a Mama’s boy but it is Grace, who wouldn't be?

Klaus is far from the adults so he probably only spent time with his siblings. I feel like his relationship with Ben was just him annoying Ben, while he was trying to read.

Vanya is not standing next to anyone but the coffin and an empty space. This is to show she is fully alone now that Ben and Five are gone.

Klaus, Vanya and Allison: A relationship that is in the right time period

What I'd get for the Hargreeves siblings for Christmas 🌲🎅:

Luther: Therapy sessions

Diego: Therapy sessions

Allison: Therapy sessions

Klaus: Therapy sessions

Five: Therapy sessions

Ben: A life, then therapy sessions

Vanya: Therapy sessions

What would you get them? 🎄

Allison: So, Vanya, do you have a crush on anyone?

Vanya: The only crush I have is this crushing anxiety.

Vanya: Also Sissy.

tua s2 spoilers without context

I'm seeing a few posts about vanya possibly being Confused and Perturbed about her Number Buddy in The Sparrow Academy being A Cube (and they're Wonderful posts) but think it would just be hilarious if Vanya looks at Christopher for Five Seconds and just decides "okay yeah we're cool we're friends now" and both the Sparrows and Umbrellas are like "???????"
