the kid wants coffee. black.

five: ok listen up i’ve got some important things to say and only a minute to say them

the others: is the world ending in a minute?

Family disputes

Bonus ❤️

sure, he bit back a little when we see them interact in s1e5 and 6, with his usual snark and defensiveness, but even then, he let a lot of her weird comments and condescending actions slide by because she was his employer again. he was doing what he could to stop the apocalypse and keep his siblings alive.

but even then, he had already figured out the equation to escape. she wasn’t his last option, so he had just a little bit of wiggle room to stand up to her.

what about when he had absolutely no other options if he wanted to have a warm bed to sleep at night? or food in his much too-shrunken stomach?

can you imagine how much worse she must’ve been when she knew that he knew he had nowhere else to turn to if he wanted his siblings back?

because obviously five hates being young again, it makes him look weaker and is a constant reminder of the biggest fuck up of his life. but what if he looks at his reflection in the mirror sometimes and just wonders if there was ever any room for him to just be a stupid thirteen year old that didn’t have world-ending consequences

time botched body aside, do you think five ever misses when he was allowed to be a twenty-something naive kid. do you think every time his siblings says something stupid he wonders about how long ago he would’ve died if he had had the privilege (and, simultaneously, the curse) to be that naive.

do you think five ever wishes he was actually a kid again. so he could redo everything he fucked up the first time. do you think five ever wishes he could hide behind his kid body, like he’s not a cynical old man with too much blood on his hands to ever feel clean again
