You ever think about how five doesn’t think his siblings care much for him. Like they’ll say “we love you” and “we’ll be here” but five doesn’t believe them for a number of reasons but the main one was that—if they did care, if they did, they would have helped him. They would have listened. No one bothered until it was too late. They found him annoying, delusional, etc, and after seventeen years of being gone, no one hugs him, no one cries, no one does anything. They say they care, but Five isn’t too sure they do, so he thinks it’s fine to hurt himself, to not care about his well being, because it’s not like they cared that he was gone for years.

What he doesn’t know is that they came to his room every day for seventeen years. That Diego snuck in through the fire escape and made sure to leave whatever trinkets he found. That Allison fixed up his wardrobe, that Luther would sleep in his room and pretend he was talking to him. That Klaus would sit on his rug and try to summon him, sober and crying because there’s so much fucking ghosts but he has to see Five. That Ben gives over his old books, that Grace often said good night, dear to an empty room that never responded back.

Anyways, how are ya’ll.

The siblings end up on a roadtrip and they start pissing off Five so he threatens to walk himself there and when his siblings don't believe him he blinks out of the car so Allison slams on the brakes, finds Five walking on the side of the road and slowly drives beside him yelling at him to get back in while he's just going on about its such a nice day for a walk and that when he was a kid he didn't have such modern technology as cars because they were all destroyed by the fucking apocalypse until the siblings give in and tell him fine yes we can stop by ONE of your old man roadside attractions just get in the damn car and he giddily gets back in the passenger seat and immediately pulls out his big ass map to debate which attraction he wants to go to while everyone groans

He was so excited to see some roadside attractions and then boom..

is he really babygirl if he hasn’t committed at least two felonies

Friendly reminder that Five Hargreeves was thirteen years old - not a senior citizen in the body of a 13 y/o, an honest-to-god teenager - when he entered the apocalypse and saw his home demolished and all of his siblings dead in the rubble :)

One of my favorite things about five is that in the first episode he’s shown as this cocky motherfucker who has his shit together. He’s on a mission. He gets shit done. He can kill a room of mercenaries with nothing but a butter knife and a smirk.

Then by the third season you realize that he’s just a sleep deprived, dehydrated dumbass who really loves his family and is in desperate need of therapy.

ok but how did diego not immediately clock that stanley wasn’t his? why was he so shocked when he found out this white child wasn’t biologically his?

Five: if anything, I am the most mature adult here

Luther: don’t you hate the dark

Five: everyone hates the dark, you can’t see shit, there’s monsters, and the hat man is trying to kill you

Luther: THE WHO?!

Five just accidentally jumpscares his siblings 24/7 and is amused by it every single damn time

Comic!Five, but it's actually Show!Five posing as Comic!Five

Love how Five can just be.. peak gremlin...Horrible little feral man. 

okay call me cynical but i'm at that point where i want five's story to end with him dying. i know a lot of people are probably going to disagree with me because it's going to feel like a slap in the face for him to die after everything he's gone through but i just feel like him having a bittersweet ending is way more satisfying to me than some wishy-washy 'everything worked out and they all lived happily ever after' no consequences kind of ending. i want a five who spent years trying to save his family from dying, always being the one to survive, always being the one left alone at the end of everything, to die saving his family. i want a five who realises it's him that's been causing their fates this entire time, that it's always been him, that five is the apocalypse because his messing with the timeline had made such a mess of things that the universe tried to take the hargreeves out of the equation entirely. give me a five who finally realises the only way to save them is to take himself out of the equation instead.

In honor of the new clips we were so graciously fed today !!!

I'm actually so excited for season 3. prepare to be SICK. OF. ME.

Diego's secret pride and shame.

Ok this has been in my brain for a while and I have literally no other excuse than that, I regret nothing!

Diego's S2 JFK obsession arc was simultaneously one of the funniest and most infuriating things I've ever watched, which I imagine is how most of the Hargreeves felt at the time.
