*Joint Theory 4: @unfortunatetheorist with @snicketstrange* :

Liar, Liar? Quag's on Fire? - (BCT & NCT)

We're back! This time, to discuss the apparent contradiction surrounding the Quagmire fire:

How did Duncan and Isadora get out of the Orphans Shack if their parents were already dead when they got there?

But perhaps, more importantly, When did the Quagmire fire occur?

Well, there are some key excerpts that further our understanding:

The letter to the editor found in TAA indicates that the Baudelaires stayed a half-term (half-semester) at Prufrock-Prep.

According to Nero, for a child to live in the good apartments of Prufrock-Prep, a signature from a parent or guardian would be required. It could not be Mr. Poe, who was in charge of their inheritance.

TAA - Chapter 3: "My sister and I went through the experience of a terrible fire, and we know what it's like. Did your father die in the fire?" "Our parents also died in a fire. It's horrible to miss your parents, isn't it?" "For a long time," Duncan confessed, "I was afraid of any kind of fire. I didn't even like to look at heaters or fireplaces." "Duncan and I had to live there for three terms because we needed a father or mother or a guardian to sign our authorization pass, and we had no one."

According to Quigley's account in TSS, the fire occurred after the events in TRR.

Brett Helquist's Letter to Lemony from Ch 11 of LSTUA:

Note: There was a Quagmire case that Lemony Snicket was accused of being involved in that PRECEDED the Baudelaire mansion fire. (Mr. Helquist arrived at the mansion while it was still on fire, and made the drawing that can be found in TBB).

Quigley's speech from Ch 8 of TSS:

You can verify that the Quagmire fire, according to Quigley, happened after the events described in TRR, that is, after the Baudelaire mansion was destroyed.

And all the main events described from TBB until Ch 13 of The End, take place within a MAXIMUM of 1 year. We know this because Violet and Klaus start the story at 14 and 12 years old, respectively, and have birthdays during the story: Klaus in TVV and Violet in TGG, and when they arrive on the island they are 15 and 13 years old respectively.

Actually, this is something the showrunners of the Netflix series picked up on - and SOLVED:

THEORY: The Quagmire parents faked their deaths. This means the children would've been sent to the Orphans' Shack before the revelation of Mr & Mrs Quagmire being alive allowed Isadora and Duncan to live in the apartment section of Prufrock Prep - they would've been alive to sign the necessary paperwork, and thus get out of the Shack. Then they died for REAL, meaning that the two triplets went back to Prufrock, but they STAYED at the dormitory because the papers had already been signed.

Netflix clears a lot of it up [hence 'BCT & NCT'], answering the questions we posed earlier:

Q: How did Duncan and Isadora get out of the Orphans Shack if their parents were already dead when they got there?

A: They were sent to the Orphans' Shack during the time when their parents' deaths were faked. The problem was that they didn't have someone to sign the paperwork. The Orphans' Shack is a temporary location until the parents can sign the paperwork. They only managed to get out of there, because their parents weren't really dead, and they signed the papers. When their parents actually died, they had already signed the papers.

Q: When did the Quagmire fire occur?

A: As Netflix states it, during the events of TMM.

devastated that I will likely never truly understand the deep and erotic connection between a writer and their illustrator

#like Guy Who Brings Your Writing to Life #and in so doing adds to it in a way you could never have imagined #surely you have to fall in love #I’m really thinking of Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler and Brett Helquist here

“If the 2004 movie had gotten sequel(s), who would have been cast?”

Inspired by an ASOUE subreddit thread that asked the same question (which I deleted from bookmarks a year or so ago, I discovered I still had in my history so here is the link) I did my own fancasting for some characters. Netflix ASOUE is used as a comparison to see a what could have been in the 2000′s. Round four (and the last round for now because I ran out of steam for this), is Jacques and Kit Snicket, and Esme Squalor!

In all honestly, Esme what if casting was the easiest. Nicole Kidman was listed on the subreddit, and it fitted all too well. Considering how her character looked in The Golden Compass (2007), which is the photo reference, it would have been 100% perfect for a hypothetical ASOUE movie sequel(s). Blonde!Esme reign. I think any adaptation will make Esme a blonde, actually. Something about her character screams, ‘blonde’ despite having canonical* dark hair.

Jacques and Kit were a bit of nightmares to make a what if 2000′s for because of Jude Law. British!Lemony is a thing for the movie, and because I think the movie would keep some details of the canonical age difference between the siblings (unlike Netflix), I had to look for UK actors older than Jude Law (born 1972), and could fit the ASOUE-vibes.

So for Jacques, I went with Mark Strong, photo reference being Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008). I feel for Jacques, the movie would show Jacques investigating, like how the movie did for Lemony. They’ll even include shots of his face, which no doubt will has people wondering, ‘Wait, is this Lemony? Did they change his actor? Because Jude Law is still narrating?”

And then it gets to TVV and the audience goes, “WAIT WHAT HIS BROTHER?” and then eventually the movie will show Lemony for real, maybe with his actual face at the end, in his investigating, learning of his brother’s death and considering on with his research with the Baudelaires.

(I also think Movie!Jacques wouldn’t be balding, I guess like Movie!Olaf. Mark Strong in a role where he has hair is in affect in this what if 2000s.)

In regards to Kit, I went with Catherine Zeta Jones, photo references being No Reservations (2007) and Ocean’s Twelve (2004). I honestly wasn’t sure if I wanted a long hair Kit or short hair Kit, or hair that goes to her neck and or shoulders. No way the movie would have Kit in her canonical bun.

I think for long hair Kit, the movie would keep her hair in a ponytail. Like, a low ponytail (I can’t really see a high ponytail). I also feel that the movie would have Kit tying her hair up in a similar matter to Violet, which makes TPP of Kit giving and doing Violet’s ribbon tying a bit more impact (especially if they keep Kit’s dialogue of Bertrand).

Short hair kit, or at least hair that goes to the neck and or shoulders...I think could work. Really depends on how it’s style. Like, there’s a reason I used Ocean’s Twelve as a photo reference. Because I think a movie Kit with short hair would have it in that style. And like, if the movie makes her sporty athletic, it works very well.

To celebrate spooky October, my twin sis has been writing a fun, long 'what if' fanfic of Rainbow Rowell's wonderful queer monster romance, Simon Snow. Here are some of my illustrations for it. Inspired by Mary Grandpre and Brett Helquist.

The fic reimagines Simon, Baz, and Co.'s life at Watford if they were forced to become friends. Playing with some fun tropes and lots of worldbuilding. I was impressed by the research my twin put into this fic! Illustrations up through most of Year 4 of Magick School in her AU.

Hopefully to be posted soon!
