I try to decide which Umbrella Academy member has the most tragic story regularly and it makes me physically ill.
Right now, my money's on Luther because he scratches my exact itch. Something about characters who have given everything only to get nothing in return really gets me.
I don't know if it's the childhood eating disorder, his years of isolation, his body dysmorphia, his incredibly simple wants that he can never have, his obsession with pleasing a man who fundamentally does not care about him or what but all of those things together make Luther just. So unbelievably tragic.
THIS IS EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD LUTHER
