Schism Headcanons
The Netflix adaptation in general was making the story more streamlined and trim, such as using Larry and Jacqueline as story glue characters to use across books, as opposed to doing things like Hal reappearing in book 12. So it makes sense from that perspective that they would fuse together the schism that split VFD with the sugar bowl theft and the murder of Olaf’s parents that split the friend group of that generation.
I get it, but I prefer the books’ account. Especially as several facts (including one’s still carried over in the Netflix series) don’t make a lot of sense unless some amount of fragmentation is already occurring. In the books, Kit says the schism happened when she was four, and the young volunteers are already being forced to move between multiple headquarters regularly (Unauthorized Autobiography). And why would the Baudelaire’s believe Lemony was dead (as indicated by their naming intentions) before Violet was ever born, if there weren’t already problems? The schism gets talked about as if it was one singular event, but that doesn’t make a lot of sense either. The ATWQ books take place post-schism, and there are still VFD-organized trainings and apprenticeships and systems, they’re just continuing to crack and corrupt with multiple internal conflicts. (Lemony “almost gets kicked out” of VFD for his speech, Gifford and Ghede should have helped Kit but don’t), but at the same time, Olaf and Beatrice are still allies and working together. I think VFD members talk about the schism the way people talk about historical events such as “The Cold War” or “The Jazz Age”. In an American classroom (or on Wikipedia) the “Civil Rights Movement” refers to a specific time period of American History from 1954 to 1968. The movement itself wasn’t just one event- it was multiple actions on behalf of multiple activists with multiple sources of opposition, working together or separately, and visible as one thing only in hindsight. And furthermore, calling it “The Civil Rights Movement”, while useful as a shorthand and academic term, obscures the fact that there are many civil rights movements in many places and many times, and one could argue a continuous narrative starting in the beginning of recorded history to the present day. And to think of the schism in similar terms- that it wasn’t any one split, but a series of internal conflicts that ultimately shredded VFD as an organization- also lines up with Lemony’s speech about VFD as an organization and his own principles. The idea that VFD in this particular iteration, with these initials and these tattoos and these headquarters, is being lost. But that the general concept of good people banding together to fight fires has happened always and will continue to occur naturally and take many forms across history.

@unfortunatetheorist to your question for the 'ask blog' ask game:
Why did the Netflix series decide to swap Esmé and Georgina's hair colours from the book canon (and what, if any, is the significance behind this decision)?
Personally, I think they went for acting abilities over appearances for the roles; no real significance to it. But to play into the argument of that there is logic to the hair color swap:
Madame Lulu said that Esme is not a real blonde, which could mean Esme in-universe has natural dark hair (I thought it feels of a jab/insult than legit claim, but...)
Regarding Georgina, IIRC Klaus after he said his dad didn't trust optimists or optometrists, Georgina goes into a little 'I wonder' talk about the person that is clearly about herself, and mentions plastic surgery to assume a new identity. It's possible Georgina post plastic surgery she either dyed her natural blonde hair as part of her new identity, or she was a bottle blonde who stopped dying her hair and went back to her natural dark hair color.
Regarding your question for the ask game itself...
Netflix!Esme:
"Am I a bottled blonde? Darling, I swear to you that this is my natural hair color. If I were ever to dye my hair a different color, know that I would do so when it's in. And currently, a dye-job is out."
"It's a shame that some people choose to ignore it."
Netflix!Georgina:
"You think that I-oh, that's the funniest thing I ever heard!"
"I assure you that I don't dye my hair, just like how I don't hypnotize anyone to get the best dates possible for balls and parties."

Entirely unverifiable headcanon
Larry: Their new guardian is the most fierce and formidable member of our organization. (Meaning Josephine) Olaf: Wait, not Snicket? (Meaning Kit) Larry: What? No. Isn't he dead? (Thinking Lemony) Olaf: Is he? (Now thinking Jacques)

Personal ‘Book’/Headcanon interpretation of Dewey, Ernest, and Frank Denouement with their Netflix counterparts.
(Trying to figure out the layout for these edits were harder than making the edits themselves.)

back in my day we experienced mr snicket’s work the way it’s meant to be experienced: through half words, speculation, wishful thinking and pulling every piece of vfd info out of our asses

ASOUE casting department: Beatrice will be on screen for like...five minutes total yet it needs to be believable that Lemony would simp for her for the rest of his adult life even after her death. ASOUE casting department: ... ASOUE casting departemtnt: Morena Baccarin. Nailed it!
