the messed up thing about tua 3.02-3.04 is that if they just edited a lot out and fixed a few plots (that on for way too long), it could of been a really interesting start to the season. ya, we were on our third apocalypse, but the way they’ve intro them has always been interesting imo
the “real” season 3 doesn’t start until 3.05 (arguably aspects of 3.01 and 3.04... basically any mention or references to the Kugelblitz). that’s the real problem i’m having this season. the show wastes so much time establishing plots that often time don’t go anywhere or stop midway through. the moments that really stick out in a positive way are when the hargreeves are all together, working together...yes, they can still fight among themselves and develop relationships outside of this family, but at its core it’s always been about this dysfunctional family coming together.

The Rewatch Academy: Episode 6 of Season 1
Tumblr media
“The Day That Wasn’t”
I am in no way a good analyst so my little analysis and speculations probably sound a bit goofy or pretty wild and probably mean nothing at all. Everything I put into this post about each episode is purely what I noticed or thought, whether it’s funny or serious. I will be making jokes, so please just leave it at that (in no way am I trying to make fun of an actor and or character!) I am also in no way saying I noticed this stuff first. This is just what I noticed while rewatching these episodes
☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂
| 1x01 | 1x02 | 1x03 | 1x04 | 1x05 |
☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂
Tumblr media
☂ Klaus is lucky that he never got the briefcase shot up
☂ *Hears Klaus flush the toilet and talk* Luther: Oh good, you’re up
☂ Also Luther gave Klaus about two seconds to get up before hounding him again on getting downstairs
☂ Sounds like Tom’s accent slipped a little bit when he said “three days”
☂ Yeah they needed to have a family meeting right away and yet they took the time to go get coffee or at least order it and have it delivered
☂ “Old bastard” and “Our little psycho” 
☂ I still don’t get at this point how they wouldn’t believe Five. Look at him, he himself is evidence of his time traveling! He was gone for 45 years, but to them it was only 17. Either way they try to grasp at that, Five would look older if he made it back without messing up. He knew about their father’s death without anyone telling him. I really think all the mistrust comes from the way he looks and the way he acts (they obviously believe he’s just crazy right now)
☂ “What did Five even see?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
☂ Also throw back to 1x02 and I didn’t realized this until now but Five doesn’t have his tie
Tumblr media
☂ I know it’s for the title card gag but no one questions the random umbrella falling and popping open
☂ I aspire to be as sarcastic as Hazel
☂ So where exactly is The Commission HQ at? Is it a random location in the real world? If so then wouldn’t normal people happen to stumble upon it? What about their location in space in the comics? Is this in space?? All we know is that it’s in/based off of the year 1955
☂ “I’d like to discuss the logistics of my family’s safety at your earliest convenience.” He cuts right to what’s most important to him. No “How will you stop the apocalypse?” or “What’s my job?” and even “How will my body replacement work?”
☂ Five sounds almost like he’s snapped back into a work mindset. He's suddenly polite and calm with The Handler. Maybe being back in a work environment has made his brain automatically switch into being more professional. However he might also be acting this way to try to throw her off of him being antsy with a plan
☂ Here's some Commission posters shown throughout 1x06
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
☂ One of us, one of us, one of us-
☂ So basically The Commission makes up history? How do they know what to do and when to make something happen? How do they know it’s right? And what’s The Commission supposed to do when the world ends? Haven't they already fixed stuff in the past or are there just continuous time loops so they need to make sure things happen over and over again? If multiple historical events happen with multiple ways they are made, then which one gets to be in the original timeline??
☂ Dot: No hard feelings! 😁
Tumblr media
Ma’am does it look like he’s going to accept that
☂ Wait why are Hazel and Cha-Cha considered the best Temporal Assassins if Five was/is the best?
☂ Well Five has the job of taking down the Hindenburg again but this time from behind a desk. So it’s possible to accomplish “corrections” without actually having assassins do the work. So I guess there’s just so many timelines that they need to fix every single one of them over and over? That sounds like a pain in the ass
☂ TUA portraits!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
☂ Y’know I have to agree with Allison on this one. Vanya was left out, however she’s offering to talk with her about the important family matter and Vanya is just denying it. I get she’s upset, but her sister is offering to include her. After Vanya leaves Allison immediately wants to go after her to talk with her. On the other hand Allison should have told her it was an emergency meeting and that they didn’t have the time to ask Vanya to join them
☂ Klaus seems genuinely concerned/upset for Vanya
Tumblr media
☂ “We need to figure out what causes the apocalypse. Now, there are loads of possibilities. Nuclear war, asteroids.” Wow spot on, Luther! I can’t believe they actually included foreshadowing for both apocalypses (even though technically it was a chunk of the moon, not an asteroid.) I wonder how much foreshadowing for S3 was put into S2.......
☂ I know it’s big joke about Luther and the moon, but the poor guy just really believes that he was on the moon for an important reason. I mean if I were in his shoes I would believe him too since he had to send a lot of daily updates and samples
☂ “Klaus shockingly has a point. What gives us a win this time?” Shhhh careful Diego, he’s right behind you
Tumblr media
☂ Luther is initially the only one onboard with Five on trying to stop the apocalypse. All the others want to go off and do their own thing before the world ends. He tries to get The Umbrella Academy back together to work as a team, but his leadership skills are now severely lacking. Do people *cough cough* mainly people who hate him *cough cough* overlook Luther wanting to also get his family together to stop the apocalypse with his family? Definitely. 
☂ “We need the full force of the Academy to stand a chance.” Well golly gee, Allison, what did did Luther just try to do? Was that not him trying to round up all of The Umbrella Academy to stop the apocalypse? 
☂ Even though Vanya is ranting, how does she not hear all the creaking metal and shaking cars?
☂ *it’s sunny around them but just the block they’re walking on is rainy until she calms down* “ThAt’S a CoInCiDeNcE.” 
☂ The hall floor and Diego’s floor are so dusty
Tumblr media
☂ It’s sweet that Diego wants Klaus to get clean in a safe way instead of going cold turkey 
☂ Dot, what does “utter silence” mean to you?
☂ “Look at you, deadly little thing.” You’re not wrong, but I don’t think he appreciates being called “thing”
Tumblr media
☂ Such a smug smile
Tumblr media
☂ So how does Five know all of this about Karl and his son? Does it talk about Otto never washing his hands in the file? That seems like an oddly specific detail but I guess in a case file it gives as many details as possible for the worker to figure out who needs to get assassinated
☂ There are a few cog references all relating to The Commission, so I wonder if this is a nod to “Teenagers” or if they’re just using this terminology
☂ Odd tattoos (sorry for the super blurry pic)
Tumblr media
☂ “Can I ask you a cuckoo bananas question?” Hazel is such a fun guy
☂ “Wouldn’t it be nice to kill who you want for a change?” You mean like straight up unhinged murder? 
☂ The first time I watched this Hazel and Cha-Cha scene I for sure thought that Hazel was a dead man
☂ This scene just absolutely breaks my heart 💔
Tumblr media
☂ *skips 25:24-27:42*
☂ Diego is just so accepting to everything Klaus is saying
☂ I’m sorry, are we suddenly on the set of The Phantom of the Opera?
Tumblr media
☂ Diego, I think you’re forgetting a very important person in your life who you let down too who is also dead......(poor Ben can’t believe what his brother just said so he leaves)
☂ “Ordinary is not a word I’d use to describe you.” You’re right, it’s “Extra Ordinary” ha! Sorry Vanya, I had to use that joke
☂ Well at least we know Five ate a sandwich 
☂ How exciting! The same division that made a simple candy taste like a candy from the past, but technically it’s not the past since The Commission HQ is based in 1955, is building a human body! That sounds so promising 
☂ Sooooo whatever happened to Five’s new body? Is it just sitting in a lab somewhere?? Or is The Handler just lying about it to try to get Five to stay at The Commission?
☂ With the amount of time Five was staring at the suit, it obviously hurt him to know that while he has a new body within reach, he’s not going to get it because he’s about to leave
☂ “Course it’s a bit easier to see from 30,000 feet.” What is she talking about Reconnaissance aircraft? There was no mention of aircraft though so why would she bring that up? My closest guess is that she’s referring to strategic bombing in general, or even the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
☂ It sounds like Five suddenly has a New York accent when he says “operator” when talking to The Handler about Gloria
☂ Fuck you, Veggie Tales Hargreeves
☂ *skips 36:47-39:48*
☂ Well there’s your hit, Klaus
Tumblr media
☂ I love the camera moving with Klaus as he falls and the transition into Vietnam
☂ “Lock and load, Charlie’s away!” Wikipedia’s definition of a “Charlie” is  an American military slang referring to the Viiet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers
☂ Klaus desperately calling out for a medic hurts my heart
☂ Well Luther if you had left then your body wouldn’t be the way it is now
☂ *fucking skips 45:41-50:00* 
Tumblr media
☂ Ooooh I just really love the entirety of the “Kill Of The Night” scene! If you listen to the lyrics it’s about someone luring someone into a trap to get revenge because they messed with the wrong person (it’s also about love but we’re going to ignore that part). I personally believe it’s aimed at The Commission from Five because the entire time it plays he’s messing things up for them and in some way it’s like a little bit of revenge from him
☂ Why is Gloria confused on who Hazel and Cha-Cha are? Hasn’t she heard their names a ton of times especially since they’re some of the best assassins?
☂ How did Five know which tubes to put the messages in? 
☂ You can see at this part how Five immediately gets anxious and antsy. He has a wild look in his eyes. From this point onwards he’s constantly moving, shaking with energy, anticipation, and probably a little bit of anger
Tumblr media
☂ “You’re a great disappointment to me.” That’s definitely not the first time he’s heard that
☂ “I don’t belong anywhere thanks to you. You made me a killer!” The first part of that stings. Obviously he feels like he doesn’t belong anywhere, but again I think has to do with the whole “good” and “bad” thing that’s going on. He feels like he doesn’t belong at home because he’s “bad” and has done a lot of dark stuff to get home (it doesn’t help that Luther voiced his acknowledgment of this  to Five and now he has that in his mind that Luther knows and somewhat views him as “bad”). Five 100% feels shame in what he has done, and definitely has an issue of coming back to his family with blood on his hands form what he has done. He doesn’t belong in The Commission anymore because he doesn’t want to stay there to do their dirty work to kill or give out kill orders. He’s done with that or at least wants to be done with that life.
The last statement though is Five taking his anger and guilt about being becoming an assassin out on The Handler. She brought him into The Commission, which in turn he became the best assassin across The Space-Time Continuum. It’s not something he’s proud of, and he never enjoyed killing (as much as I want it to be the DNA alteration I just don’t think it exists in the show or at least not yet). However The Handler replies with “You were always a killer. I just pointed you in a direction.” which you can immediately tell has struck a chord with Five. For the briefest second he looks taken aback and his eyes ever so slightly open wider in shock, whether he took that as the truth or just a terrible accusation isn’t exactly clear. Either way he doesn’t like being accused or hearing the truth out loud of always being able to be murderous, a killer. 
I believe it’s a mixture of The Handler just trying to get into his head and a combination of the truth. Reginald trained The Umbrella Academy to use brute force, but that doesn’t mean Five had killed anyone but he was definitely violent when it came to stopping bad guys (not to mention in the pilot script he was called a “Ruthless little war machine” after violently attacking and decapitating a bunch of mannequins)
☂ Diego: I’m going to go kill Hazel and Cha-Cha!........Riiiiight after I get done walking with my mom in the park
☂ He’s so happy to see Klaus again 
Tumblr media
☂ ✨Gremlin✨
Tumblr media
☂ Who exactly does Five owe a debt to? Maybe his family after accidentally leaving them and now he wants to save them? Or is it a singular person?  
☂ Ouch! Now that’s what I call a problem later!
Tumblr media
☂ 
Tumblr media
☂ Five using “Ya’ll” is weird to hear
☂ Five is talking to his siblings like he knows what’s been happening but in reality he’s rarely been at home so how would he know
☂ I love that Five doesn't even answer Diego at the end and instead just stares at his siblings

The Umbrella Academy - ‘Number Five’ Review
Tumblr media
At the halfway mark of Season 1, we finally are obtaining a sense that these siblings are slowly coming together in order to work as a cohesive team, as they each grow more and more acquainted to working with one another. Baby steps though, I feel that by the end of 'Number Five', there is still one major factor that's keeping most of the Hargreeves back and that is their respective pasts, whether it's the last decade or the last twenty-four hours.
When Five got stuck in the future for what looks like over five decades, he is eventually reached out to by his first human contact in years - a mysterious woman known only as 'The Handler'. Despite only having five minutes of screentime in total during this episode, she's easily the most captivating character that has the possibility of being a threat to our heroes (something The Umbrella Academy was lacking up until this point), though this may also just be the intrigue of not knowing anything about her, other than that she represents an organization called 'The Commission' that works to keep people from disrupting the timeline, and that she is Hazel's and Cha-Cha's superior. The Handler also reveals to Five that the imminent apocalypse cannot be stopped because it is what is meant to be. This is the emergence of a theme too that will run throughout the remainder of Season 1, the thought by some that time is merely a fixed constant and cannot be quite so easily as altered as our heroes may think at first. Five is offered a chance to work for The Commission as a hitman for five years, and then he can return to a year of his choosing.
Tumblr media
Five accepts, but during a flashback that involves the obligatory trope of overlapping timeline interference with the assassination of President Kennedy, Five chooses to make his escape and travels forward in time to where we first met up with him back in the pilot, albeit in the body of his younger self. I'm beginning to wonder though if we're just not meant to make sense of the exact mechanics of time travel in this series, because I'm still at a loss as to what 'calculations' Five was referring to when he explains how he reverted back into his younger body. In any case, present Five clues Luther in on his plan next to stop the apocalypse, but as many have jokingly pointed out, Luther seems to have quite the 'priorities-problem' in this series; only now is he choosing to listen to Five about what he's been doing since he got back, and suddenly takes issue with the fact that Five had to kill people left and right during his time as a hitman. Perhaps the series is trying to differentiate the way Luther and Five look at humanity - Luther seems to see it more as black-and-white - but Luther was also prepared to turn Mom off only two episodes ago purely because she was acting a little stranger than usual, so what gives?
Klaus meanwhile returns to his brief departure through time with Hazel and Cha-Cha's briefcase, and much the worse for wear. It seems Klaus accidentally took a detour through the Vietnam War, and now is wrought with anguish, grief, anxiety, and insomnia. These details are left for the audience to deduce steadily until Klaus straight-up enters a veteran bar and laments over a photo taken of his platoon. There's no dialogue either during Klaus' return to the present, and the sequence actually benefits incredibly from this; Klaus' muffled agony and his relentless thrashing of the briefcase speak volumes. His subsequent interaction with Five featuring attempts to maintain his original happy-go-lucky demeanor only to break down the more Five interrogates him is gut-wrenching to see.
Because of Klaus thieving the briefcase, it isn't long before The Commission learn about his deviation into Vietnam, and come down on Hazel and Cha-Cha for it. Fractures can be seen beginning to form in their partnership, which begs the question as to who it's going to be out of the pair to turn on the other by the end of all this. While Cha-Cha is purely all business when it comes to their work, Hazel at least has someone who's grounding him more and more to this timeline - Agnes, the waitress at the donut shop The Commission first fought Five at - so the money's on him.
The whole Vanya-Allison conflict over Leonard feels like re-treading at its worst, and their interactions mainly feel like filler in this episode because their scenes only reiterate what we know from before: Allison doesn't trust Leonard because of her own prior experiences with men, and Vanya doesn't care because she likes having someone in her life actually believing in her. And as I've mentioned, these are fine characterizations and motivations in and of themselves, but the heavy emphasis being placed over and over on them would lead one to suspect there then must be more going on beneath the surface that's going to rear its head soon; Leonard's inquiry into Vanya spending "quality time" with Allison lately further supports the theory that Allison could be his actual target. Why this would necessitate him getting rid of Vanya's medication remains to be seen, but we now know that those pills may in fact suppress a dormant ability of Vanya's, one that can manipulate vibrations as seen when she auditions for the first chair in her orchestra.
By the end of the run, Five has accepted another offer from The Handler to work in bookkeeping at The Commission's headquarters, so it's anyone's guess now what he's up to. Leonard is also revealed to have murdered the girl Vanya was competing with for the first chair, and also has Sir Hargreeves' book that Klaus pawned off in the pilot for drug money.
So to return to my point at the beginning, the divides between the Hargreeves that keep them from operating as a fully-functional team which can possibly ward off the apocalypse won't diminish unless they keep their respective pasts from clouding their judgments; Diego wants Hazel's and Cha-Cha's heads after he finds Patch's body and has enlisted Klaus to help him get revenge, Klaus himself looks like he won't be recovering from his trauma in Vietnam overnight, Allison still has gripes about Leonard, and Vanya is still chasing that high of finally standing out. Even Five, whose ultimate goal is to stop the end of the world from happening, now has to worry about making a deal with Hazel and Cha-Cha and keeping them off his brothers' backs when he learns Klaus has their briefcase. It isn't that each of these siblings is wrong to eschew the bigger picture, but in not doing so, their motivations being driven by alternate details is going to keep them from the status of a 'team' until whatever lecture or sitdown that will rally them all together finally occurs.
Name That Tune:
A rendition of 'Happy Together' by the original writer of the comics himself Gerard Way is the tune that closes out this chapter, a rendition that I'm unable to hear anymore without also associating it with the image of Klaus flipping the bird through a car's back window.
Hargreeves Humor:
• I understand that by dissecting the scene, I'm robbing it of some of its magic, but the rapid-fire transition from Klaus and Diego driving an ice cream truck, to that truck's blaring of 'Ride of the Valkyries', to Klaus joyously waving to Luther and Luther awkwardly waving back, and finally to Ben straddling the truck's hood with one hand and holding a Popsicle in the other, comedy which builds upon the preceding gag, could make the entire sequence a worthy addition to the golden years of The Simpsons.
Diego: "Nope! Get your ape hands off of me!"
The Handler: "Sometimes, people make choices that alter time. Free will, don't get me started."
Allison: "But I've been around long enough to know that when something seems too perfect, it's usually anything but." Vanya: "Like a woman who's based her whole life on rumors."
Diego: "I told you to wait in the car." Klaus: "Yeah, but you also told me that licking a nine-volt battery would give me pubes."
Aaron Studer loves spending his time reading, writing and defending the existence of cryptids because they can’t do it themselves.

🍏Who is your favourite LI? Why?
🍎If their route finished already, were you happy with how it ended? Would you have changed anything?
🥥Do you have a favourite CG of your favourite LI?
🎹What’s a storyline/plot you’d like to read that doesn’t currently exist in any routes?
🎺Do you prefer the contemporary or fantasy routes?
🎸What’s you favourite trope for a romance?
🍏Who is your favourite LI? Why?
OOOH!! That's so hard to choose!! I would have to say....Alex. Like I love Alex SO much. Diego has been dethroned. I love Alex and Diego and Arin AND LUCIEN. They're all three tied for my number 1. BUT away from those three bc I've made it clear that I love them so much, I'd have to say Zain is my other favorite. Mainly because of his development, the PACING (best friends/friends to lovers is my favorite🥺) is beautiful, and everything is amazing in his route! He deserved many more seasons but I'm glad he got closure AND YH SORRY IM RANTING ABOUT ZAIN-
🍎If their route finished already, were you happy with how it ended? Would you have changed anything?
HMMM!! Well, for Alex no. Alex is from an entire different app from Voltage (since AFK was a stand alone app for Voltage I believe?) and so they were written extremely well and everything was put together well. Especially since people had to pay for it. Their pacing was amazing. The way they genuinely began to admit their feelings to each other, face their problems together even if they struggled together, AND still developed over each season while loving each other so much?? It's beautiful and I love them so much, so no there is nothing I would change.
And for Diego I don't think I'd change much. I mean I love kids and usually want my LI's to have kids, but ik some people don't and it's a funny plot point that vampires can't lol. So, no for him I wouldn't. BUTTTT FOR ZAIN?? YESS?!!! While I love the private little wedding and marriage bonding for them, I also wish that they had an actual wedding. OR I wish he had more seasons. Like I kinda get why it was ended because where else would you go exactly? It's tough to keep going from where it was (in my head), so I see why it was ended there, but I still wanted more seasons. Maybe a season of their kids or at least a future they have. Like Alex's season 4!! Only 6 episodes of them facing trouble with MC and Jason (their son) and yeah!! Beautiful!!
And Roman and Lucien on the other hand (ESPECIALLY ROMAN)....There is so much I wish was changed mainly that they deserved more seasons and honestly I could rant but my rant is so long and this answer is already long-
🥥Do you have a favourite CG of your favourite LI?
Hmmm...not exactly. I love all of them because they're all so beautiful and the scenes that are related to them are all beautiful and emotional, so if I had to choose one to be absolute favorite from Alex, it would most likely be the one of them protecting MC from Ares. Like it's not necessarily the most emotional one, BUT!! It's still so...beautiful. Like...they really did that. They really jumped in front of her to protect her from Ares, THE GOD OF WAR. They love her and protected her from the fire and the CG itself is beautifully drawn and requires so much talent. The fire mixing together with the silver and the yellow of MC's shield?? Beautiful and it deserves so much love. Just like Alex does.
BUT ALSO!!! THE CG OF MC AND ALEX FLIPPING A PANCAKE TOGETHER!! AND THE CG OF ALEX PROPOSING TO MC??!?!?!?
First CG of Alex protecting MC I mentioned:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
BEAUTIFUL!! AMAZING!! JUST!! MC AND ALEX HAVING BREAKFAST TOGETHER AND SHE'S WEARING STAG SHORTS!! THE LOVE IN THEIR EYES WHEN THEY PROPOSE AND HOW THEY COULDN'T HOLD BACK ANYMORE!! I love them so much and almost every CG of theirs is beautiful and shows emotion. And other LIs CGs are amazing but Alex...gosh...
🎹What’s a storyline/plot you’d like to read that doesn’t currently exist in any routes?
Hmmm...I'm not sure. I'm going to answer this in the love plot and also the story plot. I usually love the best friends to lovers plot. It's practically my favorite and that's used in many routes. For example, ALEX, Zain (technically friends to lovers), AND ARIN!! I love that plot and the angst and the development and everything about it is BEAUTIFUL. So...I don't know which other kind I want. I guess the kind I do like is similar to the Be My Princess game (also from Voltage). I love the commoner and Prince relationship and how they break the rules and everything, but I mean...that can be kinda considered in AFK?? When you date Hades?? Since he's a god and MC is a human and it does have some struggles SO MAYBE?? And I just love the commoner with a Prince, but I do know that that is technically used (in some degree) in some routes of Lovestruck, so I honestly don't know.
NOW THE STORY PLOT!!! I. LOVE. MAGIC. YES, I do know magic is already done, but like...actual wizards?? or like I mentioned above, a prince (or a princess) falling for a commoner. It's an amazing plot (I love Roberto and Keith so much from Be My Princess and I miss playing them...but it costs money so nah for awhile). But many of the plots and storylines I do think of have been made before and if I have an idea, it's a storyline plot that is too sad and wouldn't necessarily make a full plot. Kind of. Does that make sense?? I hope it does kinda.
🎺Do you prefer the contemporary or fantasy routes?
FANTASY!! I LOVE MAGIC!! I've grown up with amazing games that aren't technically centered around magic, but they have magic in some sort of way. I always love those plots that are like SE (especially in Luciens and Zains way. Love the development and secrets), AFK (the angst in each route is so great. I mean I've only played Alex, Hydra, Cerberus, and Hades, BUT YEAH-). Wicked Lawless Love (the angst and the whole mystery surrounding each character is amazing), and I could go on about why I like fantasy. Fantasy is just a great thing because it can be made in so many different ways. There's so many ideas that can be based around fantasy, so many characters that could be made, there's just so much possibility in fantasy and it's why I love it so much
🎸What’s you favourite trope for a romance?
OHOOHOHOHOHOHO!!! I LOVE best friends to lovers. It's the best one. It's just...I've always loved it but I think Alex is the one who really put it as my favorite one. It's mainly because you've known this person all your life or at least for a long time and have become close and these feelings suddenly develop. The characters don't understand it and they both know something is happening and the development on BOTH sides is amazing. Especially if it has a scene like Zain's route where he and MC both say, "Can we talk?" before they take on Axia....and they both wanted to tell the other that they love each other...ugh I love it. OR the scene of Alex telling MC that they've loved her all along. They realized it when MC's mother died...her mother died and they realized that the same thing could happen to MC herself and it made fear take control of their mind and they want to protect her bc THEY LOVE HER SO MUCH AND-
Just any plot of friends to lovers is amazing bc the development is obvious and the feeling of knowing so much about this person and finally knowing more is amazing and UGH I CANT EXPLAIN IT-
ORRRR!!! The trope of two characters who are almost polar opposites, but still love each other. FOR EXAMPLE!! ZEUS ROUTE!! He is literally such a bad guy in like every route and I almost do hate him, but if you take in consideration an idea for his route and the possible development available, it is kinda cute and I just like imagining a big bad God in love with his tiny human girlfriend. A god who is THE KING and is so entitled and doesn’t rlly care for humans but eventually falls in love with a human. They are both strong and both stubborn but also opposites BUT the same and love each other :))). I have so many favorite tropes. Gosh-
Thanks for the asks!! I love you💙💙.
