As your admin, I feel it's my responsibility to let you know when I'll be taking breaks from the wiki, and while I do need to be more active on here (especially with the new season out today), I'm going to be taking a break from being on here before I see it for fear of spoilers. I should be back within the week, and while I'm gone, feel free to reach out to me with any questions and/or concerns you may have on my message wall. Just don't expect me to answer right away. Enjoy the new season and I'll see you all soon. Take care!

I loved all three seasons, but Season Two is easily my favorite. With the exception of the Sissy and Viktor subplot (which becomes more engaging as the season goes on), everything is done perfectly in the season, with very few slip-ups. Season One's gonna have to be the weakest by default, since they hadn't exactly worked out all the kinks of the series yet.
That's a tough one, but I gotta go with Diego and Lila
That’s not a bad idea! I actually like that a lot! I’ll get on that ASAP!
With the impending release of the new season, I think it's time to accept that this new Sparrow Timeline is the most radically different timeline we've seen yet in the series. So much so that there are counterparts of the Umbrella Academy in this new timeline that we haven't met yet (as illustrated by that hilarious moment in the trailer where Klaus suggests sleeping with them). So I think it only makes sense to create new pages for the counterparts of the Academy in this new timeline, similar to the page for Ben in the Sparrow Timeline. We can only do it for Ben, Sir Reginald, and Pogo for now, but it's a start and it'll make the wiki a lot easier to navigate. If anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to ask.

I feel like I've been waiting forever for this trailer
In universe, we don't know yet. In the real world, Elliot Page came out as trans, and this was to accommodate him.
Viktor came out as trans BECAUSE Page came out as trans. And referring to someone by their chosen name and pronouns even when referring to past events before they came out is just generally how it works, or so I find. Plus, we've already accommodated for the pronoun changes by acknowledging that he is trans and noting what his deadname is.
Trans people, such as Elliot Page, Viktor's actor
A trans person had pronounced their old identity and gender dead. We should be as respectful of that as possible.
I haven't been very active, sadly. You'll see me more in the coming months as Season Three approaches.
I know I haven't been that active on here (trust me, that'll be changing when Season Three comes out, and you can always message me if you need/want to), and while I did some editing of Viktor Hargreeves' pronouns and names, you guys have blown me away with your dedication to fixing this across the board. There's still work to be done, yes, but holy shit, your dedication is amazing. This community is incredible and I feel blessed to be a part of it as your admin. Love you all and keep up the good work!
Welcome to Fandom, glad to have you around! Now, on the Viktor pronouns thing, I'd say yes, you should alter his name and pronouns on those pages, since his old pronouns and name are effectively dead. I think that's the most respectful.
No problem! I guess I was like, "well, I've changed out about a third of the names and pronouns on Viktor's page and changed the page name, I'm done for the day!" lol
Done. You're welcome.
@Sisi7304 Whoops, sorry, I'll deal with that now!
I think it's because he was born in Russia, so he picked the Russian spelling
At long last, we now know that Number 7 will come out as trans in Season 3, and take on the name Viktor, much like his actor, Elliot Page. Here's an image from Elliot Page's Twitter.
I'm hyped as hell for this! June can't come soon enough!
Dark Horse Diego's more powerful
Very much so
