My nerves were bad for those kids and I was constantly frustrated, especially since every book started with a warning

i am once again thinking about a series of unfortunate events and the way that it twists the idea of being doomed by the narrative. specifically the song at the end of the first season and the effect of having the villain, a cartoonishly evil and awful man, sing about the inescapability of tragedy. because he IS the tragedy he is what causes all the unfortunate events and suffering… but when he sings that there’s no happy endings it almost seems like he’s also trapped in the narrative. the story has already happened, its being told to us after the fact when it’s too late for anyone to change how it ends, but the song creates this strange feeling that olaf is also doomed, except he’s doomed to be the villain in this story. it’s not as if he makes any effort not to be the villain of course, but for just a moment, you realize that his fate is also already written and his role in the story cannot change because the story cannot change. he has already done all these terrible things and the story has already been written but then there’s this brief moment of awareness, where all the characters turn to the audience and say “this is a tragedy and it has no happy ending and that’s just how the story goes,” and it’s as if none of them have any control over the narrative, not even the villains. that’s just how the story goes

My favorite trio:

Oldest Daughter Syndrome

Autistic Nerd in Denial

Feral

And their adventures trying out outrun a theater kid turned abuse allegory narrated by basically depressed Rod Serling in a fedora.

I will love you as a thief loves a gallery, and as a crow loves murder, I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence, and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong. I will love you if I never see you again and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love until every fire is extinguished and every home is rebuilt.

Lemony Snicket is an avatar of the eye oh my god his series of unfortunate events could absolutely pass as a series of statements by the Baudelaire siblings like actually

#i never actually read all of them #i read a couple random ones cause they never had all of them in the library at once #but i kept hoping it would have a happy ending #but i love lemony Snicket #tma #the magnus archives #the eye #the beholding #avatar of the eye #asoue #a series of unfortunate events #the baudelaires

Bad drinking game ideas: literally just watch asoue and every time something could be solved by the adults just listening to the baudelaires you drink a shot

(Caution: may eventually develop into a blacking out game)

Is Jacquelyn at fault in the Netflix series? (NCT)

Jacquelyn Scieszka is one of the most notable differences between Book- and Netflix-Canon. Her character is often portrayed alongside Larry Your-Waiter, with the pair acting as 'noble', working against Olaf and his accomplices, throughout the series.

However, there is one point I have picked up on to argue that Jacquelyn caused the heinous events of The Wide Window to occur: Jacquelyn chased Olaf onto the SS Prospero, and this was, arguably, one of the greatest mistakes made in this show.

Of course, as viewers, we understand her intentions:

Bring Olaf to justice, as nothing can happen once he's in Peru (even he knows that!)

Bring back Klaus' half of the Baudelaire spyglass

But this act made Olaf jump into the water below, where he would've made it back to shore, to meet with his troupe, before taking a boat out onto Lake Lachrymose, where The Wide Window's events begin.

If Jacquelyn did NOT get onto the SS Prospero, this would've happened:

Olaf sails away to Peru on the SS Prospero, to (in his words) "wait for the manhunt to die down, eat some cuy"

The Baudelaires go to live with their Aunt Josephine

Poe gets his promotion (probably)

Manhunts take YEARS to die down; Osama Bin Laden's - for example - took 10-15 years, before the US Navy tracked him down to a compound in North-West Pakistan.

So, here's the real genius of this part: by the time Olaf returns because the manhunt has died down, the Baudelaires already have access to their fortune!

As the phrase goes,

"It [was] a wicked thing to do, for a noble reason."

Did she have a choice?

I could talk forever about how, despite Lemony Snicket telling us every single episode and every single chance he got that things would not go well for the Baudelaires, that this was a series of UNFORTUNATE events, we still kind of all thought that they wouldn’t be?

Each new guardian or place they stayed at, you got the feeling that, maybe, this is the one (except for the obviously terrible ones). There was something inside (it was actually usually the other people, the small good things that gave us this hope) telling us this one would be it, and they’d live happily ever after. Even though they never really did.

It is literally human nature to hope.

if you like doomed siblings who only have eachother watch/read asoue. rant underneath the cut

- you dont have to wait for it to get good because it immediately gets to the point

- there are books so if you prefer reading over watching theyre fucking amazing, i read the shit out of them when younger and can confirm that they are still the best book series ive ever read

- speaking of which the book covers are beautiful, which obviously isnt mandatory for a good book but just LOOK AT THEM!! (theres more than this but these r my personal favorites..)

- theres not a bunch of romance so if ur romance repulsed or just dont like that stuff u dont have to really worry about that

- kids who are intelligent and not in the stereotypical "oh this guy is annoying" type of way (this was my favorite thing about asoue growing up because im audhd and seeing main characters around my age that were like me made me feel more seen and less alone)

- really funny disguises. not going to spoil it but just really funny disguises

- heavily coded + canon queer characters

- idk if this is the case for everyone, but if ur in an abusive/toxic home it helped/helps me distract myself and focus on the characters problems instead of getting absorbed in mine. also helped me get out of the mindset that i have it worse than everyone else

- banger intro (in my opinion, apparently some people hate it but younger me was singing that shit LOUD)

- MORALLY GREY CHARACTERS!! god i love morally grey characters

its genuinely SOOO good, both the show and books. i dont recommend the movie but some people like it.. if u watch it and enjoy it u should send me an ask about why u liked it because i personally dont see the appeal but im open to opinions!! :3

Underrated Shows/Books that I will never stop recommending (might add on more later):

1. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket (Netflix Series/Books): Brilliantly made, beautifully written, amazing actors, amazing for bookworms like me (Esme is a queen fr)

2. The Unlisted (Netflix Series): Amazingly crafted, top-tier plot, suspense keeps you on edge, very lovable characters (Dadi, Kymara, Jiao and Bua are so lovable bro AHJFJSHF)

3. The Mystery Series by Paul Moxham (Books): Very addicting, albeit corny yet still enjoyable, gives old nostalgic vibes even though I'm Gen Z lmao (Amy x Will SHIPPP 🚢)

4. Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi (Books): Beautiful graphics, tragic beginning, good character growth up until book 6, ending was absolute horseshit BUT it's a really genius concept, just wasted potential (Riva is such a badass I love her)

5. Maze Runner (Books/Movie Trilogy): Gripping mystery, terrifying ahh jumpscares, very likeable characters, well-written villains/morally-gray characters (Brenda is such a queen, but I'm always gonna remain a Teresa defender)

A book cover I made for A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning! Just for fun/hoping for more work like this. I absolutely loved this series when I was young & reread all of the books a couple of years ago! Forever rooting for the Baudelaires.

I had a Lemony Snicket poem as a reading at my wedding!
