Klaus/Luther
Mar. 24th, 2019 04:38 pm Oh hey -- baby's in a new fandom and that means I've already found a vaguely unhealthy rarepair to ship, I guess.
I guess Umbrella Academy is still a baby fandom so my hope is that I convert as many people to Kluther as possible by generating as much content as possible. I'm honestly shocked more people aren't flocking to it -- since it's got all of these elements that are so intriguing. On a purely aesthetic level, you've got the biggest character with the twinkiest and I know for a fact some people are wicked into that. But also, you've got these two forces of Lawful Stupid and Chaotic Stupid.
Lawful Stupid, on the surface, wants what is best for everyone but is really actually kind of selfish and a dumb idiot (something fandom doesn't cease to point out). Chaotic Stupid, on the surface, is a selfish junkie but actually cares so damned much for everyone. And like -- they were raised this way, one as the Leader and one as the Disappointment and that itself brings up fascinating quandries of nature versus nurture and family dynamics and good Deep shit for people who like that. But also -- for people who enjoy shameless smut -- obviously, Klaus is a fantastic fandom bicycle and Luther is absolutely fucking huge and has an energy of Raw Sexual Tension because he is so repressed. And you are trying to tell me that Klaus couldn't get him to loosen up? And that one time couldn't turn to a Series Of Times?
If your feelers are set to hurt/comfort and angst, well, good thing you've got two of the most deeply insecure characters in the show and if your feelers are set to fluff, good thing you've got a set up for hilariously cute situations -- with Big Clumsy Guy and little guy who has some of the most hilariously candid lines to say. If you want something wholesome, have them work through addiction together. If you want something dark, well, eat your twisted hearts out on the foundation of child abuse that underlies this whole series.
In conclusion, YOU should give Luther enough of a chance to ship him with Klaus. Here's a starter pack of porn I wrote over the weekend:
1 & 2 Go crazy. I hope you enjoyed my TED talk.
