#I love asoue so much

[watchoutpaul-hemightkickyourhead]

Klaus. Adhd.

need I say more.

(He's me I'm him-)

[d00medyur1]

whoever buys me the asoue books is my favourite person

[laurrelise]

they would be friends argue with the wall

[random-knowone]

rereading asoue as an adult is WILD. those are fjkucking CHILDREN

like when youre their age youre like "aw man this sucks but they're strong and capable" which they are, but they shouldnt have to

totally changes the whole feel of the series, being klaus or violet's age vs being an adult and suddenly sunny isn't the only baby

it's crazy the level of discourse there is about antis/pros and how teenagers just devolve into purity culture so quick. I'm sure I used to be like that, but somewhere between dating gang members and reading copious amounts of philosophy the world became a lot more gray to me when I entered my twenties and I've realised three things that I think are important for teenagers to know:

To quote my favourite childhood book series: "People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict." Sure, going to car meets, selling drugs, drunk driving, stealing cars, playing chicken with cops are all examples of bad things that you shouldn't do but am I going to sit in my lovers bed and tell him that this life he was born into that saw all his friends die in drive bys and that saw his own dad pull a gun on him when he was a kid makes him a shitty person? Even though I can see all of the good in him, and can tell he doesn't want to do this, I should ignore it and focus on the negatitives? We have all done bad things, we all do bad things, and we all will do bad things. It doesn't make you a bad person.

Purity culture hurts everyone. There's a great book about this called the History of Sexuality that delves into how purity culture and the censorship of sex is at its essence the capitalist authority controlling the means of reproduction. At large scale 'pray the gay away' and 'contraception is a sin' make it so that men and women couple up more (instead of same sex coupling) and have unprotected sex. On a smaller scale 'AO3 is evil because it has pedos' and 'watersports is the grossest thing ever' do the job of the capitalist authority on a more digestible level. Us vs Them no longer is 'alt right vs communism' they use your words to make it 'pure good hobest people vs pedos who like piss play.' you are making bullets for your enemy and handing them your own damn gun. I promised I wouldn't make this whole post this one point tee hee sorry if you want me to elaborate just ask lol

Fetish ≠ real world experience. I'll build my own pyre as an example: I love me some good CNC (consensual non-consent) in my fanfics but in real life sex I have a praise kink so bad I have cried during sex multiple times. I am into tooth rotting sweet stuff and the kindest people in the world in real life. The media you consume 1000% has an effect on you, I'm not arguing that. I am however arguing that if you have media literacy and know what media is and is not harmful to you, it shouldn't effect your real life drastically unless you have other shit going on. I know this is rich coming from the "I have dated people in gangs" guy because that may show what kinda guy I'm into but prommy that's not a sexual attraction thing, it's 100% a lifestyle thing that again I will elaborate on if you want. Point being, porn ≠ reality and what gets that blood flowing isn't necessarily a reflection of how good or bad you are (ofc there are kinds of porn that are bad but that's beside the point and a very complicated thing for me to type while I'm this sleepy)

thank you for coming to my ted talk. pls I am begging on my knees for people to stop having black and white world views but i also know that's just a product of being a teen so if you are a teen pls! go out there and! consume media from different cultures and people with different lives to you! the world is at its best when it is wide!!! and full of love <3

beatrice baudelaire!

my girl!

How I feel about this character: I've always been really interested in Beatrice because of how mysterious she is. Like, as a fandom we have a lot of headcanons and stuff we've extrapolated from the books and supplementary material, but on pure canon there's a lot of gaps in what we know about her that makes her interesting, especially when it comes to fans trying to fill in those gaps. And I like that she was just this super cool and super hot woman that everyone was so incredibly obsessed with no matter what side they were on, everyone and their mother had a complex about Beatrice.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: If Daniel Handler didn't want me to become far too obsessed with Lemony and Beatrice as a couple, he shouldn't have written five hundred thousand words of Lemony going "Beatrice I love you so much let me list it all" as a way to reassure her when she asks 'hey do you still love me' in the 200 page break up book she wrote. That's just insane, of course I ship it. I'm also really into Beatrice/Bertrand as a couple too, people can have multiple great loves. And depending on my mood I can be really into the lemonberryice throuple.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Beatrice and Kit's relationship is always gonna be interesting to me, and Olaf and Beatrice just seem to have had the most fascinating dynamic, legit friends in childhood to some more vitriolic friendship and then she murders his parents and then he torments her innocent children, it's Good.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't know if I've got any necessarily unpopular ones because this fandom in general, and especially the bit focused on the sugarbowl generation, is very small and most of the stuff I've seen I agree with. I guess I might characterize Beatrice as a bit, idk, colder than most? For all her other facets, Olaf was someone she knew and seems to have gotten along with well on a personal level, and she still doesn't seem to have spent much time outwardly agonizing over what might have been straight cold blooded murder. I don't think she was evil or unfeeling, and there's a reason she pulled back from VFD stuff especially after having children, but there might be a more ruthless streak there in my view than in some other people's.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: idk man, that she fuckin lived? It's a bummer that she's dead, she was a devoted mother and a good friend and an important part of a lot of people's lives and it seems like a bunch of worlds were dimmer without her in them, her kids are gonna miss her for the rest of their lives and Lemony is still deeply affected by losing her literal decades after the fact. I wish she'd been able to meet little Beatrice too, I think they would have gotten along great.

honestly wanted to write some fucked up dialogue for a saiki brothers drawing but i dont know if i can come up with anything more distressing than “can you really kill me kusuo? if i’m going into this prepared to die, can you really stop me?��

thinking so hard about quigley quagmire. while the baudelaires and duncan and isadora always had each other, quigley had no one. he had to deal with the death of his parents, and maybe duncan and isadora, by himself. he had to learn to survive on his own, learn VFD on his own, had to get from one place to the other on his own. by saving him, his mother was condemning him to forever be separated from his siblings and alone; there is no scenario here in which he won. and when the baudelaires found him, they were separated again. there he is, once again, alone.

This is critical information for any ASoUE blogs that follow me, I hate Lemony Snicket (the character not actual Daniel Handler) with a passion that rivals the burning of Wolf-Rayet star WR 102 and I will take every chance I get to shit on him. No I don’t take criticism. No I’m not sorry.

How about 💙💗💖 for the Quagmire triplets?

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this wholesome ask, Anon-friend! 🥺💖 I'm not sure I have the words to describe how much I absolutely love the Quagmire Triplets. They were my favorite ASOUE characters when I was kid and remain favorites of mine to this day, and I would absolutely love to write some headcanons about them for you. I hope you'll like them! 💕

Quagmire Triplets Family Headcanons

💙-- Hurt/Comfort

For the first couple of weeks after being reunited, Quigley, Duncan, and Isadora could only fall asleep if their sleeping bags were side by side. They never really discussed it, but they knew the reason was that they each feared that they would wake up and be separated again. They kept a dim light on as well because Duncan and Isadora had developed an intense fear of the dark due to their experiences being trapped in dark, crammed spaces and Quigley desperately needed that reassurance of seeing that his brother and sister were still there with him when he awoke from his nightmares. On particularly rough nights, they would all stay up into the early hours of the morning taking turns distracting each other by talking about mundane things like books they had read, recipes they liked, or even little facts about their hobbies they remembered. Occassionally they even reminisced about happier times and memories until they all finally felt safe and calm enough to fall asleep. On better nights, all it really took was Duncan patting his sister on the shoulder or Isadora ruffling her brother's hair or Quigley wrapping him arm around his siblings to let them know everything was okay now and they could all drift off to sleep.

💗-- Family

When the Quagmire triplets were very young, they each had matching raincoats and rainboots only in different colors. On rainy days, their mother and father would dress them up in their raincoats and rainboots and take them outside to jump in all the puddles together. Quigley was always concerned about making bigger and bigger splashes, so one day he had the bright idea that if the siblings all held hands and jumped in the puddle together they would make "the biggest splash ever." When they tried out Quigley's idea, however, Isadora ended up tripping and pulling her brothers down into the puddle with her on accident. Their father got a picture of the triplets sitting in the puddle and laughing together, and it used to be framed on one of the side tables in their living room.

Bonus: On one such rainy day in the faraway future, Quigley helps his son put on his tiny raincoat and rainboots and takes him outside to jump in all the puddles with his Uncle Duncan and Aunt Isadora excitedly joining in the fun.

💖-- Alternate Universe (AU)

In a Present Day/Modern AU (Where Everyone Lives)...

The Quagmire triplets and their parents live next door to the Baudelaire family, and the children are all best friends with one another and attend the same school. The kids hid a mailbox in between some of the hedges dividing part of their backyards and will often use it to write secret messages to each other. Mr. Quagmire and Bertrand Baudelaire (with the help of the children, especially Violet) also built a big treehouse that connects their backyards, and the kids play there together for hours and hours.

When they get a little older, Duncan and Quigley use a corner of a treehouse to film videos which are mildly successful online. Duncan mainly posts videos ranking various newspapers on different topics such as factual accuracy, op ed quality, choice in fonts ect. whereas Quigley compares different maps of the same area (i.e. a historical map versus a modern map or a topographical map versus a population map). A secret from even her brothers, Isadora has a bit of online fame herself as she publishes her poetry on the internet under a pseudonym.

just finished the first 2 books of asoue and oh my GAWD the utter incompetence of the well-meaning adults in the beaudelaires's lives is just sooo indicative of what happens all the time, and just reading about it makes me want to tear out my hair
