YEEES HYDROMANCYYYYYY!!! Ori looks like a sad wet beast the poor lad 😂😭 very much a cat no likey water!!
Scholarly Turtlenecks
Left: @embras-grace // Middle: @tortor-sauce
Maddox makes a discovery and it’s not about Ori and Astro trying to decipher his divination
It’s the fact that both scholars are wearing body tight turtlenecks
Astro’s out here with hip holes !
Must be an academy approved outfit …
// It’s dem flow proof fits. How do you know? It’s got a shimmer to em
• • •
Everyone’s a little wet since Astro is relearning his hydromancy
Also Ori kinda looks like Jing Yuan from Honkai
They’re looking at the Peacock Constellation
#palia OC#palia#other's art#my oc#c: Ori Tian#listen Ori is a very hot man he works out eats well and gets good sleep#gotta stay fit to fight the Order#also tight turtlenecks are the main thing I draw him in its my go to xD#adore this look at the 3 of them!!#Ori like “look water's okay but consider.... fire”

To America, From a Worried European Friend
A country convinced that it is irredeemably racist can’t lead the world as the ‘indispensable nation.’
By Daniel Schwammenthal.............Brussels
History and evolutionary biology teach us that the normal course of human affairs is tribalism, oppression and poverty. The emergence of liberal democracies isn’t the inevitable endpoint of supposedly linear Western progress but an aberration—and a rather fragile one at that.
This is why the rising illiberalism in the U.S. is so troubling. Activists who seem to understand George Orwell’s “1984” not as a warning but as a manual see free speech—the lifeblood of democracy and human betterment—as a fascist tool of oppression. Other classical liberal ideals—a colorblind society, rational discourse, the scientific method—suffer the same fate.
These unenlightened views have spread with lightning speed. Once confined to the campuses of the nation’s elite universities, they have moved into the mainstream of public discourse. America’s future leaders have been spoon-fed two theories born of Marxism. One is postmodernism, so called because it rejects the liberal ideas of modernity and the very notion of objective truth. The other is critical theory, which is preoccupied with uncovering hidden power structures that have supposedly stood in the way of a communist revolution.
These once-fringe theories have given rise to quasireligious dogmas that divide society into hierarchies of oppressor and oppressed, setting the stage for eternal societal strife. In this new cult, dissent or insufficient fervor is interpreted both as validation of the doctrine of ubiquitous racism and a punishable thought crime. As in medieval witch hunts, both denial and forced confessions prove the defendant’s guilt.
On the other end of the political spectrum we find right-wing populism, which imagines “pure people” taking on a corrupt elite, and of course the far right, with its Nazi infatuation. The wide availability of guns in the U.S. isn’t only a subject of dispute in the unfolding culture war but could help turn it deadly. Witness the recent synagogue shootings by real white supremacists. Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are obsessions shared by the far left and the far right. America is headed for unprecedented polarization and possibly civil unrest.
But why am I, a German Jew living in Brussels, so worried about U.S. domestic affairs? As the adage goes, when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. Right now America has pneumonia.
I learned to cherish the U.S. long before I had the privilege to live and study there. History can be very personal. What Madeleine Albright called the “indispens-able nation” meant the difference between life and death for my family. I was brought up in the firm knowledge that had it not been for those unimaginably brave American boys storming the beaches of Normandy, I wouldn’t have been born, and my parents and the rest of my people would have been extinguished. No doubt I’m leaving out entire libraries of nuance, but that is the quintessential truth.
America today is what it has always been: a flawed society, like all others, but also a unique force for good in the world. No other multiethnic, multireligious society can credibly claim to be more democratic, more prosperous and more just than the U.S.
But America can’t remain the leader of the free world if it is itself no longer free. To be the guarantor of Western security requires military and economic power, but also a sense of mission. And right now Americans are committing mass character suicide. If the country goes beyond acknowledging that racism and inequality persist and must be fought, and instead convinces itself that it’s inherently and irredeemably racist, it can’t possibly continue to believe that it has any right to lead. Such an America would reject the notion that the West is worth defending and regard Europe as also inherently oppressive. We know who will fill the vacuum left by an America in retreat and at war with itself. As they watch America’s self-immolation, leaders in Moscow, Beijing and Tehran surely can’t believe their luck.
Any functioning society must extend tribal loyalty beyond the ties of blood. Ethnicity and Christianity were the glue that helped hold the more homogenous European nation states together. America’s Founding Fathers laid the foundation of a society worthy of the motto “e pluribus unum”—out of many, one—by replacing ethnic and religious loyalties with liberal ideas and deist ideals. A shared loyalty to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution allows Americans to see each other not as strangers but as fellow citizens.
Yes, the U.S. has not always lived up to its ideals. But to claim that the Founding’s “promissory note” was never anything but a scam to maintain a system of white oppression is ahistorical revisionism that will erode the country’s foundation.
European anti-Americanism constantly imagines the rise of fascism in the very country that defeated the real thing and constantly predicts the end of liberty in the world’s oldest democracy. I have always proudly opposed this view. But I am reminded now of Benjamin Franklin’s famous line: “A Republic, if you can keep it.” For the first time I have terrifying doubts.

The Incomplete History of Secret Organizations - How to Crack the Code
Now that Season Three of A Series of Unfortunate Events has aired, I feel it’s about time to finally tell y’all the Code from The Incomplete History of Secret Organizations- for those of you who can’t get the book, haven’t read it yet, can’t figure out the code, or who just don’t wanna spend time finding it out yourselves.
On page 188 of The Incomplete History of Secret Organizations, the key to cracking a code sprinkled throughout the book is provided:
WARNING �� THERE IS A SECRET MESSAGE IN THIS BOOK
You may have noticed a cross-referencing technique that appears throughout these pages, looking as such: (See: Notorious Researchers, pg. 30). This device is a helpful way to direct readers to relevant information that can be found elsewhere in a text.
It is also a handy way to send a secret message.
Every librarian knows that books contain secrets, and hiding a secret message in the pages of a book is a frequent VFD tactic. Volunteers who cleverly cross-reference will discover the message, while their enemies, who rarely finish a book, remain unaware.
If you have read this far, you may be wondering how to discover this message yourself. First read the book carefully, making note of any parentheticals shaded an unusual hue. This is no printer error; it is a key informing you that part of the message can be found on the suggested page. Follow the references and locate the letters colored a corresponding hue. These letters are scrambled, not unlike an anagram. Once you have unscrambled the word, write it on the color-coded line of this telegram. Completing the telegram will reveal the answer to a question that has stumped philosophers, police inspectors, and even Lemony Snicket:
What comes after the end of The End?
Next to this description is a photo of a telegram, which is fourteen words long:
___ ____ __ _______
____ ___ __ _____
____ ____ _____
__ _____ _____
And, indeed, each word is underlined in a different color.
Now... onto cracking the code.
As referenced, there are occasional cross-references in the text. And sometimes, the See: is in the color you need to look for.
If you follow each See to its corresponding page, you’ll find letters scattered across the text that are in the color you need to find. These letters make up each word.
Word-by-word, let’s see what we can find:
The first word, in dark purple, is on page 133: The Reptile Room. To be honest, this is the hardest word to find: the dark color is very close to the color of the actual text. There are three letters here, in the following sentences:
You always want to do something new, but at the same time, I wanted to see if there were clues I could integrate into the design.
This flips it so the priority is the reptiles, and his own living space is sort of diminutive.
And in “The Reptile Room,” [Monty]’s delighted to share his world with these kids.
otw
The second word is on page 99: Toupees for Toddles, in an orange-ish color. There are four letters, which can be found in the following sentences:
“Well, we can’t put a wig on a baby.”
It’s one of the oddest things I’ve ever done in my career, applying a little wig on a baby.
When we started the second season, Presley had grown her hair long enough that we could actually create the ponytail with here own hair, which was a relief.
ests
The third word, in a hot pink, is on page 130: Mr Poe’s Office. There are only two letters, which can be found in the following sentences:
It can be goofy, but it’s never goofy-stupid.
He’s the guy that’s literally standing between Olaf and the Baudelaire fortune.
of
The fourth word, on page 110: How to Dress for a Masked Ball, in a gray-blue color, can be found in the following sentences, with seven letters:
The flashback that opens “The Carnivorous Carnival” is set at a Venetian-style masked ball, where masks conceal a number of familiar faces. Cynthia Summers designed each mask with the character in mind, including Dr Orwell’s “eyeglasses,” a Medusa-inspired snake mask for Uncle Monty, and theatrical comedy/tragedy masks for the Snicket Brothers. (Jacques wears the comedy mask, while Lemony, of course, is tragedy.) The ball also marks the first on-screen appearance of the mysterious Beatrice, described in the script as “a beautiful woman dressed as a dragonfly.”
eidnrsf
The fifth word, four letters long, is on page 45: Olivia Caliban/Madame Lulu, is in gray:
A dangling thread from Season One was a certain book on secret organizations discovered by Justice Strauss - a book whose title will be familiar to anyone reading this.
Still, they liked the idea of a character finding The Incomplete History of Secret Organizations and having the book change your life, as it will no doubt change yours.
While the book’s version of Olivia is a veteran agent of dubious morality, the show reinvents her as a noble school librarian struggling against institutional corruption.
There, disguised as Madame Lulu, she fulfills her mission of passing the book to the Baudelaires - and sacrifices herself at the lion pit to save their lives.
jtsu
The sixth word, colored light orange, is on page 109: How to Dress for a Career in Food Service. The three letters can be found here:
Author Daniel Handler explains that the VFD agents we meed in the show are the types of people whom children notice by adults overlook.
You’re going to notice things that are invisible to the adults talking over your head.
Take a good look at the restaurant’s terrifying logo.
uto
On page 141: The Miserable Mill is the seventh word, in two red letters:
“The Wide Window” left us with no more stage space, so it forced us to shoot the mill at a real location, an old dock building which we then tried to make look like a stage.
Klaus comes back from the eye doctor, but he isn’t quite himself.
fo
The eighth word is on page 97: The Real Sugar Bowl. There are five light purple letters:
According to Esme, it was stolen from her by Beatrice, and according to Olivia, it may have been the reason for the VFD schism. It’s not the first sugar bowl to play a vital role in a work of classic literature (interested parties may seek out We Have Always Lived in The Castle at their local library), but Daniel Handler muses on another possible inspiration: “There a whole sugar scene in the movie Midnight (See: Snicket, Jacques, pg 44) that must have seeped into me when I was a child. Somehow I think that was one of the sugar bowls of literature that ended up sneaking in.”
The existence of four identical sugar bowl [props] may be of interest to Esme Squalor, or at least her actress, Lucy Punch, who requested to keep one when the series wrapped. “My character was so desperate for it,” says Punch. “It seemed appropriate.”
eahrc
The ninth word, in blue, is on page 172: The Carnivorous Carnival. There are four letters:
There’s literally no program you can watch that’s any wierce.
The aesthetic of carnivals and circuses is naturally creepy and absurd to begin with. And then you add the overlay of our material, where everything is filtered through the Baudelaires, so the sets are designed to be seen as if you’re a vulnerable child glimpsing this horrible world and trying to maintain hope.
Count Olaf arrives at Caligari Carnival, where he hopes the fortune-teller can help him.
wlli
The tenth word is on page 89: The Many Faces of Barry Sonnenfeld. There are four green letters:
and in “The Vile Village,” he’s the fire chief posing with his Dalmatian int he firehouse-turned-saloon.
A common ancestor to our series’ interconnected families?
Barry birthday is April Fool’s Day, and for his birthday, I decided to knock off a painting with him in it.
We’re shooting the Hotel Denouement right now, and the whole hotel isi based on the Dewey Decimal System, and each floor is a different subject.
eetm
On page 64-65: The Sinister Songs, you can find five magenta letters for the eleventh word:
“I was a huge fan of the books in my twenties, and I was also a huge fan of Barry Sonnenfeld, so to see those two come together and actually be a part of it was unreal.”
Count Olaf introduces himself to the Baudelaires with this song and dance - ignoring the fact he’s already met them. Handlers says, “Singing is perfect for Count Olaf because he imagines himself so wonderful.”
All of the dance numbers were choreographed by Paul Becker, who pulled double duty in the first half of “The Carnivorous Carnival”.
She’s had quite an exciting / Time on the road
agina
On page 24: Violet the Inventor, there are two gray letters for the twelfth word:
But now those inventions, like the Baudelaire mansion itself, are gone.
She promised her parents she would always look after them, and while Count Olaf’s schemes have put that promise to the test, Violet’s managed to stand strong in even the most unfortunate situation.
on
Pages 116-117: Deciphering Code: Using the Dials of the Spyglass, has five purple letters for the thirteenth word:
As a volunteer, you already know why and when the spyglass was created (See: Motion Picture, Pg 10) but we will briefly recap its history here.
A permanent mark has its advantages, since even the most absent-minded member rarely leave the house without their ankle (See: Peg Leg, pg 86), but it has its drawbacks too, particularly if the organization undergoes a schism, so that the same symbol that once stood for comradery and literacy suddenly represents treachery and pyromania now that it is inscribed on the ankles of your enemies.
But just as a movie might be more than a movie, a spyglass can be more than a spyglass.
Critics called these films terrible, which was the point: Sebald wanted to ensure that no one would want to see them besides other volunteers, who would be more interested in their secret messages than their artistic value.
The cinema’s projectionist assigns the film a production code made up of a unique combination of numbers and symbols.
riynb
The fourteenth and final word can be found on page 32: Who is Lemony Snicket? There are five pale green letters:
He is currently investigating the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, though his reason for doing so is unknown, as are his whereabouts.
Mr. Snicket can be identified by his dry wit, his tailored suits, and his ankle tattoo, as well as his tendency to launch into wordy monologues containing Very Frequent Definitions.
But when developing the series for Netflix, Barry Sonnenfeld and Daniel Handler independently felt that their Snicket should be seen as well as heard.
And they both independently thought of Patrick Warburton, a frequent Sonnenfeld collaborator whom Handler had loved in a little-seen film called The Woman Chaser. Volunteers who track it down will note that it features Warburton speaking to the camera in a suit and a deadpan style that one might call Serlinig-esque - or Snicket-esque.
haebc
The Code
So now we have all the words:
otw ests of eidnrsf
jtsu uto fo eahrc
wlli eemt agina
on riynb haebc
Which do not take a long time to unscramble...
What comes after the end of The End?
Well, it turns out... the code is a couplet...
Two sets of friends, just out of reach
Will meet again on Briny Beach.

Look at the lads!!!!! Gosh i love that style on Ori!! I love the clothes for them all 👀 look at em!! Such Styles
Your Muse

// The Jel's play dress up with their boyfriends
— Whether it’s the OCs actual aesthetics I’m not sure. I just drew before they could respond
// IDont know if ill finish this tbh. I got the point across of Astro and Ori getting Maddox into a turtleneck and fitting gloves. Astro is heavily inspired by genshin and Chayne
// Embras-Grace mentioned thinking Ori would wear a corset so i put him a corset but it was hard finding a fit that could show off the turtleneck and corset since they don’t really fit together lmao
