Watch this. And then watch it again. Focus on someone different each time
☂️ the umbrella academy:
allison & vanya reacting to men saying wild and unexpected shit
The Umbrella Academy as Vintage Book Series (aka if the Umbrella Gang stayed in the 60s and got book deals)
It’s an obsession by this point.
Also, Season 3 please
I spent like 20 hours on this, but it was worth it. I just wanted to make a poster for TUA S2! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Sorry to bother you but could I request some headcanons for autistic!Vanya? Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!
aaaaahhhhh I didn’t realize other people hc’d Vanya as autistic!! As an aspie, this makes me very happy.
She learned to read sheet music overnight. Actually playing the violin was a different story, but within a few days she could sight read better than many adults.
Unexpected physical contact makes her very nauseated! Do not!
Long sleeves keep you safe.
If someone starts talking or the music playing has words, she can kiss her train of thought goodbye.
Allison has to train her on how memes work.
She only writes her name in all caps, because VANYA is made with all straight lines.
Only verbal when she absolutely has to be.
She wrote her entire book in five days: No leaving the house, only sleeping when she couldn’t physically stay awake, etc. Her orchestra director even called to make sure she hadn’t died.
Often completely misses sarcasm when other people use it, but can sling it herself left and right. Even she’s confused by this.
She’s incredibly reliable. With a memory like a steel trap and an intense fear of letting people down, she has no choice but to be.
Rock concerts seem like they would be her worst nightmare, but she loves them. She just has to have time to prepare herself for that much stimulation.
Dissociation Queen
She wasn’t diagnosed until her twenties, when she actually went to therapy.
At first she was very upset by it.
“Great. So not only do I suck at everything, but my brain is messed up on a fundamental level. Love that for me.”
She’s since learned to identify and manage her symptoms. She can now avoid situations that would cause extreme distress, and somewhat keep track of Social Mistakes™ and learn from them.
She even joined a group for autistic adults at her therapists suggestion. She related to them more than anyone in her life.
“They’re just people. There’s nothing wrong with any of them. Maybe that means there’s nothing wrong with me either.”
Did you know: After Ben’s death, Sir Reginald Hargreeves punished his children by confiscating the only brain cell they shared. He forgot to return it, resulting in their questionable life choices as adults.
