okay but like… autistic vanya?  god tier.

like, think about it!!

-hates the texture of oatmeal with a fucking passion

-doesn’t like it when people (reginald) yell at her

-auditory processing issues (she doesn’t do what daddy tells her to do because she can’t understand him)

-Strange Child

-hard time connecting with people, even normal people/strangers/people she’s known for a long time

-quiet as fuck

-epic meltdowns because of small/strange stimuli

-special interest in superpowers (reginald did his very best to suppress this) and music (violin specifically)

i swear if none of the Hargreeves run up to Sparrow Academy Ben and try to hug him because they're so happy to see him alive in season 3, I'll be throwing punches

Vanya’s Room:

Ok so Vanya’s room is actually pretty interesting. Sadly we really don’t see much of her room in the show except for this tiny shot and it’s kinda hard to see anything besides the basics (bed, chair, books, violin, and so forth)

But!

Thanks to bts pics, we actually can get a better look at some of the props inside.

This is pretty much just a clearer/closer shot of the hallway scene, but I can see:

Some wall art

A completely white suitcase in the corner? (Maybe for extra storeage/clutter?)

A teddy bear on top of the suitcase

A clock and a small/book journal on the nightstand

There’s other little stuff on the nightstand and in the cubby below (like a little box?) but I can’t really tell what it is.

There’s a small stack of books on the radiator and some more on the floor next to it. 

I think there’s some stuff under her bed too

Now for the other side of her room that never actually appears in the show.

We have:

A wall mirror

Some hooks for clothes

Sheet music stand

Some books propped up in the corner on the floor?

A dresser behind the door

On the dresser:

A little metal cat statue

A white bowl with some stuff in it?

Some plain white books (I really like how they added in the white details, I think it’s a nice nod to her powers/alter ego)

There’s some other stuff on there, but I can’t really tell what they are besides more books and maybe a little picture?

There’s also a shelf above her dresser, but again, I can’t distinguish much of what’s on it besides:

Even more books

A little red box thing that’s sticking out

And a metronome! We also see a metronome appear on her character poster.

There’s also another very interesting detail about Vanya’s room, it eventually becomes apart of Klaus’s room.

If you watch the flashback scenes vs the 2019 scenes, you’ll notice Klaus’s room (which is right next to Vanya’s) is much bigger in the present than it was when they were kids in the 1x03 flashback.

That’s because at some point Klaus expanded his room and took down the wall (on the right) between his and Vanya’s.

Notice the gray bricks and the black radiator in front of the window.

You can also see the divide where the wall used to be (and that Klaus’s bed is still in the same spot)

I’m not really sure when it happened. One theory I had was that perhaps it happened because Vanya was sent away to school like in the comics?

But on the other hand, it looks like Klaus’s room had already been expanded in the 1x10 flashback where Vanya destroys the house. (And we know Vanya was still living there at least when Ben died at age 16.)

However, that flashback is *technically* a splice between the past and the present (because Vanya is remembering things but she’s also looking at their rooms in the present) so perhaps it doesn’t give us an accurate time frame? I’m not sure. 🤷‍♀️

But either way, I think it’s a very interesting detail. Vanya lost her room at some point and it’s kind of sad because the rest of the siblings still have rooms to come back to and even use them over the course of season 1...but Vanya doesn’t.

So like- at first I thought that Five being the only one who wasn’t killed instantly by The Handler was just very convenient, but this is The Handler we’re dealing with. She’s good. She knows how to shoot someone fatally, she simply chose not to, she wanted him to be last one alive, for him to know what she had done. She knows him and his biggest fears, she wanted him to suffer.

how ba a a ad can i be

i drew this just in case he gets a costume change in s3 and i cant make this joke anymore

maybe five doesnt change out of his uniform because he likes to be quirky
