Chapter Text
I'm currently watching Umbrella Academy Season 2 Episode 4 on netflix cause it was in the recommended and i have nothing else to do cause it's the weekend.
"What the heck? what kind of development is this?" sighs "Imma just go to the bathroom and freshen up cause this is frying my brain, they are doing a lot of stupid and unnecessary things. What a frustrating bunch of people"
i walk downstairs to go to our 1st floor bathroom. And then i slipped...
Is this the end for me???
Blackness---
"--ke up"
"wake up"
"GRACIE WAKE UP!!"
murmurs gibberish about being comfy and saying that they will have to pry her as a corpse first before she wakes up.
I blurily sees a guy that i don't know but looks like an American person? blonde and blue eyes, okay looking? Typical american face? But why is he here in front of me?
am i dreaming right now? why would an american person be in my dream?
"who are you??"
"damn kiddo, was last night's drinking session fried your brain? You just turned 18 and we had a party! it's me, your brother austin"
I squint my eyes and look around. Wait this is obviously NOT MY ROOM! cause first of all i DO NOT HAVE MY OWN ROOM! i sleep on a doubledeck bed with my sister! and i most definitely have never seen this "austin" person in my entire life who is claiming to be my brother! i do not have a brother for pete's sake! what the hell is going on?!?
"What?"
i stumble out of the bed and i see a mirror infront of me.
"Who is that?" I see a girl who is really prettty in American standards and she looks like a typical american girl,blonde, blue eyes and has white skin. SOMEONE OBVIOUSLY NOT ME! first of all i am asian!! i have black hair and black eyes and my skin is brown!! who the heck is that pretty girl on the mirror!
I raise my hand and the pretty girl in the mirror follows what i do. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
OH NO! that's me!! the pretty girl in the mirror is me!! but why am i "here"
"Sis you are obviously more crazier today? what the heck has gotten into you?"
"Austin answer me honestly, who am i?"
Austin looks at me like I'm crazy.
"are you shitting me right now?"
"no i am perfectly serious! please answer me!"
"You're Gracie Williams, my annoying sister who is acting crazy right now. does that answer your question sis?"
"yes! yes it does!"
"good, now mom is calling you downstairs cause breakfast is ready" squints at you "i'll see you downstairs"
"okay, thanks austin see you in a few" i smile as best as i can and make a shooing motion on this Austin guy who claims to be my "brother"
"right..." he leaves and closes the door behind him.
when the door closes. Y/N moves closer to the mirror and observes herself.
"this person is clearly not me, i never thought i would ever have natural blue eyes. That's pretty weird."
I sit on the floor and look around.
"What is happening? where is this? it looks like an american household.
I look around and i see a poster of umbrella academy. It looks old but I can't mistake it! I just watched this show! So is this a world inside umbrella academy or did i just posses a person who is an avid Umbrella Academy fan? I hoping for the latter."
But i see something that cements my idea of this being the Umbrella Academy world...
"you've got to be freaking kidding me. please tell me that i didn't get sucked into the umbrella academy universe."
"Oh no. Oh no no no no no no.” You rapidly repeat, totally panicking, pacing back and forth, hands clutching your head.
What the hell were you supposed to do about this? How was this even possible? Is this the transmigration bs that the manga community is obsessed about??? Truck-san?? BUT I DIDN'T GET HIT BY A TRUCK?? And why did it have to happen to you of all people? You’re absolutely, totally, completely one-hundred percent not equipt to deal with BS like this.
"I'm going to die! The grim reaper has called and it's SCREAMING MY NAME!" I say as i lay on the floor.
“Nnnnooooooooooo no no no no I can’t do this. This is- I don’t even know what this is. I’m going crazy.”
And this wasn’t awesome nor was it cool.
The complete opposite, in fact.
You got thrown into that stupid American series "Umbrella Academy" that frustrating series that had you screaming obscenities in the screen throughout the time you were watching the series! YOU DIDN'T EVEN FINISH THE SERIES!! You only got until Season 2 Episode 4 before this Bullshit happened
"I don't know how this series ends! I'm screwed! Why couldn't it be Friends or Big Bang Theory! Or better yet i would've thrown myself willingly into any book that Jane Austen has written!!"
I continue crying and clutching my head
"Of all the shitty series!" I look up on the ceiling "Well... it could be worse... at least it ain't a horror series like walking dead... there are fates that are much worse ____!! Get a grip of yourself!"
I slap my face and breath.
I pace in "my" room and start to think of a plan.
"First of all who is this Gracie Williams and why is she in the Umbrella Academy Universe? She's probably not important cause I don't see any fans or artworks or anything for her before all this BS happened"
I'll need to either return to my own world or survive in this. But did... did i die??? Am i dead in my own world? That's pretty tragic, I didn't even get to finish this stupid series and i was planning to eat at a restaurant after watching! OH MY GOODNESS! What about my job? You know what? I didn't care about my job that much... so... WAIT WHAT ABOUT MY FAMILY??? My friends? I've been literally stripped of everything i know!!
AND IM IN AMERICA?!?!? Whattt???? I always wanted to visit this place... but only for vacation! I DIDN'T PLAN TO TRANSMIGATE HERE?!?
"Okay... calm down! Let's see if i can find identification for this Gracie Williams girl or some type of diary??"
Rummaging through this overly cutesy and teenage room like it's out of a rom-com movie feels surreal. Wow... all these stuff are so teenagy feel... it's so cute
I'm in my twenties and i think all of this girl's stuff are adorable. Please own a Diary! I beg you gracie girl... whoever you are!
"Wait... are there cellphone on this universe? There might be some iPhone's right?"
I'm thinking and remembering if i saw any type of cellphone on this series... wait wait wait...
"OH NOOOO!! This is even worse than i thought!! This place doesn't have cellphones!! How do i search stuff on this place?? A library? what kind of old timey shit is this?? I'm literally gonna die here! Can i get a refund or something? Who makes a series set in 2019 WITH NO CELLPHONES!! That's utter bullshit"
Ugghhhhh... damnit I'm crying again...
"This... this is so unfair" *sniffles* "I don't even like the characters on this series!" More tears are shed "and I'll die in a few days cause of their fuck ups and issues with each other cause I'm just a normie!" Crying more " i want to go back! I hate this place!"
I NEED TO FIND FIVE! Can he dimension hop?? Or something?? He can right?? He might be able to throw me back to my own dimension/universe/reality whatever it was supposed to be called... i need to make a plan.
Umbrella Academy is a series about 7 kids. With super powers who tries to stops the end of the world in 1 week? That's the plot right??
Tbh this is too much to handle i wish i had more time but if 1 WEEK IS ALL I GET TO STOP THIS WORLD FROM BLOWING UP. I don't have enough time... wait... should i even like help? Or stop it? Essentially it's all vanya's fault and I don't want to be in the presence of any of the characters on this series and i especially hate luther... i might try to punch him the first time i see him.
Plus i might create some weird butterfly effect that makes it more worse or maybe this is a world that follows the plot no matter what i do?? Asdfghjkl i think I'm thinking too much...
I'll just talk to five first? I'll let that old man handle this. Ain't this guy all powerful. He can teleport and time travel. He can probably stop the end of the world with enough information and i can get a favor out of him to get me back to my reality?? Or something?? That might work right??
Here's to hoping that five won't gut me with a fork cause i sound crazy
-----Time skip----
Thanks to my "mom's" help i was able to find the donut shop but i almost turned crazy cause all of this is just overwhelming! I walk on the street and i see american people. This is a sight to behold, and they're speaking in english! I feel like I'm in a movie! (I am in a series so that's close enough)
This damn donut shop took forever to find!! How can such a shitty place like this be so hidden?? I hate the "no cellphone" thing!! My old pal google maps would've helped me navigate this shitty place!
I tried to find out more about this "gracie williams" though the diary and ID that i found but it's all so normal that I've thrown the title: Cannon Fodder on her name immediately. Typical american 18 year old teen shit written on it like crushes, assignments and music?
I swiped a news paper on the side of the road while i was walking to the donut shop. I still found it both hilarious and hateful that newspapers are a thing instead of cellphones! Like come on! It's set in 2019! Why news papers??
The bell rang, When i went in. I smell freshly baked donuts and coffee. At least this donut shop smells and looks inviting! Ohhh!! Look at this place! It's an instagram worthy place! I'm hating that I don't have a phone to take a picture of this place!
Let's order something first and wait for my imminent death *coughs* i mean my fateful encounter with the grim reaper *coughs* i mean five. Damnn~ I'm sweating and I'm scared right now.
I go talk to the sweet donut lady to order some coffee.
"Hi there donut lady! I would like to order a cup of coffee and just a normal glazed donut, please"
"Sure sweetie, anything else?"
"No that was all, how much for it?"
"$2.50" good thing "mom" gave me an allowance. It's so weird to buy stuff in dollars, being in America and using "dollars" as an exchange for goods seems so surreal.
I gave the donut lady the money and i seated myself on the counter(?) I don't know what this table thing is called but it's the one where you sit on long table near the cashier thing.
I start to read the paper... it didn't give me any useful information. It's just a piece of junk. What a waste of paper. The date of the newspaper was the only useful thing on this garbage.
I try to comfort myself "i'll die either way, might be from vanya's temper tantrum in a few days or die by five's hands in a few moments" wait... both fate are bad... uggghhh why is saving the world in the hands of this spoiled rich super powered kids?? The fate of humanity seems so bleak... can i just die here instead? This all seems so bleak?
They're the protagonists of this story. The world revolves around them in this world. I'm literally nothing and no one on this world. Can i even affect this world? Can my voice and actions help "save" this world? Or atleast to save me??
Damnit... this is all just depressing and annoying. I want to go back to my old life. I didn't have many friends but i had friends i can call mine. My family isn't perfect nor rich but it's mine. I didn't like my job that much but at the very least... it's all mine.... now... I don't have anything i can call as mine... fuck...
*slaps self
"Get a hold of yourself _____ you're about to meet one of the most powerful beings in this series and you're out here mopping around! Crying won't do shit!"
I just crossed my hands and put my head on the table and sighed. Donut lady has my order ready
"Hey sweetie i got your order, just call me if you need anything. Enjoy your food"
"Thanks lady"
I drink the coffee. Yeah it ain't special... just because it's another world doesn't mean coffee is now magical. At least the donut taste good.
I go and wait a few hours for number five to get here and die by his hands... *ehem* i mean.. and tell him my knowledge of this world and get a deal out of him to get me back to my old world. Probably(?) i still don't know if five can dimension hop or do something similar to that... Hopefully I don't die in the process.
While waiting i thought it was a good idea to write on the diary of "Gracie Williams" of the actual plot of Umbrella Academy.
"I think this should suffice" i look at my chicken scratch notes of condensed garbage of knowledge of this shitty world's plot. It doesn't help that i was in the middle of watching this shitty series before i got thrown in this mess. Season 2 episode 4 is the last thing I've watched before this "out of body" experience happened. Aka. My death.
"Why don't I remember the names of the characters well??" Who am i kidding I don't remember names that well anyway. But I'll remember the faces so that's good enough i think?
So i bullet point the important things to tell:
-The commission needs to be destroyed or stopped cause they will stop at nothing to continue the "timeline"
-Vanya needs to know her powers and how to control it.
-Vanya needs to the love of her family and get therapy for her temper and depression
(I think vanya has some serious mental health issues that needs to be addressed)
-The whole hagreeves sibling needs to get their sticks out of their respective asses and work as a family to cure their traumas and kinks with themselves and each other
-prevent the death of the nice police lady cause i actually liked her character from this series and i almost dropped this whole series when they killed THE ONLY DECENT character of this series. (Emphasize on this)
-luther and rumor hagreeves (dont remember her name tbh) needs to make up and start anew. (Don't know if i care enough for this two characters to help them... imma put them on the side note for now)
-klaus and ben... I'll just hope that they don't cause trouble too much. Maybe help klaus in his trauma(?) or prevent his time travel to a vietnam war(?) don't know? Probably...
-Five... I'm not sure about him? Maybe i could help him on his grand plan? But I don't have powers nor do i want to fight cha cha and hazel and the tall blonde lady who always carry a brief case...
Well I've written enough and five should arrive anytime now. I just hope he isn't gonna kill me and would at least listen to me.
---time skip---
I hear the bell. And i flinch.... it must be him. He's here.
I look at the door and i see... a kid... (well what was i expecting hahahah) what was the name of the actor? Oh!! Aidan!! Well it would be awkward to call him that. Five! He's here!!!
Oh my gosh!! I'm gonna die! Or not... let's talk to this guy and get this over with.
Five sits on the counter and talks to donut lady. I get my stuff and sit next to him. Whoa he's actually taller than i expected...
How does one start a conversation with an old murdery bastard who is stuck in a child's body and it suspicious of everybody without getting killed by said old murdery bastard?
Oh fuck it! Here goes nothing!
"Hi"
