run boy run

Vanya: Five you have to take care of yourself, but you can't expose yourself like this.

Five : What do you know, Vanya?

Vanya: Maybe nothing, but I would be sad if you are not here with me.

Five: Van…

Five: Van…

five & vanya || i was alone.

I’m not sure if I’m entirely happy with how this turned out. It seems sloppy and sucky so I’m just gonna chuck it into the world and make a run for it. 

Not even sure what I wanted to do with this edit but I’m a sucker for parallels, so this edit was more like a parallel scavenger hunt for me I think?? 

This also isn’t a shipping edit, just FYI, but feel free to view it in however you like :) 

I’ve been kind of obsessed with their dynamic because I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. Their past and reasons for being close is never explained at all, it’s only subtly hinted at. And you’d expect that the last person in the household to give Vanya the time of day when they were kids would be Five, or at least I would assume since he has such this hefty superiority complex. His whole personality and his actions towards others just make you think that he wouldn’t be the person that he’d be Vanya’s bestie, but for some reason, he was. Even became a confidante to her. It is just perplexing. I just love their sibling dynamic because it’s unexpected and I find it very sweet. 

Few things I want to point out: 

1. I find it kind of funny that the apocalypse revolves around them pretty much, her being the cause and him being the one trying to stop it constantly. Not that there’s anything to laugh at, it’s just ironic since they have a close connection, that Five has some sort of soft spot for the cause of the apocalypse he was stuck in for 45 years, and somehow doesn’t hold any resentment against her because of it. 

2. They both have similar traumas and loneliness that derives from their trauma. Vanya’s cage was a soundproof vault. Five’s cage was an apocalypse. I’ve been kind of waiting for them to bond over their loneliness or at least mention it. Hopefully, they touch on it in season 3. 

3. Also, think it’s dope that their powers are visually similar in terms of color and how it radiates off of them in waves. It’s cool.

She’s drunk on a rare swell of pride, Vanya realizes. She’s never considered herself boastful – nethertheless, prideful – but now she understands why men fall to their knees at the mere notion of it. In the arms of her estranged childhood friend, Vanya feels like she’s won a game she never realized that she was playing. (by nightcoast on ao3)
