Think it’s underrated how when five was in the apocalypse and all he had was Viktors book to cling on to remember the family. It wasn’t a happy book. In 60 years as memories faded and deteriorated, what could have became memories tinted by nostalgia into something happier was grounded by the only physical remnant of them left. A sad book that realistically talks about how broken the family was. A book where the wallflower of the family drills into the cracks of the public images.
#five as a person wasn’t over emotional and probably would have became content with the memories he had of the family and rose tinted in#some ways. he would have always became bitter but I do think a large reason he came back so disillusioned by his siblings is that he#couldn’t have hope. not only did everyone else but viktor move on from him. it didn’t bring them together#he knows what happened after his disappearance. silence and drifting. he knows who everyone became#he couldn’t have held out hope that their lives at least got better. the only memeber of his family that continued to grieve him in some way#beyond the obligatory period wrote it all out to him. then dedicated the truth to him.#the umbrella academy#the finale news has me thinking about it#I only watched 1&2 years ago#viktors name was hard to get used to here cause I stopped watching before Elliot page came out#number five#tua five#tua viktor#viktor hargreeves#vanya hargreeves#(just in case)#fivya#fiktor#kinda I guess. not really
