es rarepair week 2024 day 1 | AU/future

lil ghostic au of mine!!! yuzuru and the rest of fine are long since trapped souls in an abandoned mansion of which rst come across while looking for shelter during a storm :] it doesnt um. particularly end well

[astheworldgoesonitswickedway]

This is vaguely disturbing ASoUE information but if I have to live with it in my brain, so do you. (insert diabolical laughter)

In the Carnivorous Carnival, Violet finds her ribbon in Count Olaf's pocket. (In his coat from the trunk) She theorizes he must have taken it when he prepared her for surgery. Now this idea is bad enough. That's disturbing already isn't it? Well, I have been informed that Violet was mistaken. That would be completely understandable, considering the chaos, but she was drugged on top of that. Anyway, here is the thing. Last we saw that ribbon, it was part of the set of fake keys in Hal's possession. Which, if I am remembering correctly, he holds out on display during the scene in the operating theater. So. This means Olaf not only decided to keep her ribbon, he went to such lengths as to steal it. I’m assuming he ran across Hal at some point between that scene and getting in the car. But agh, he was really like, "Hey give me that?" Like, the building is on fire and this is his priority? We know he is a trophy taking villain, he has their parents lion's head on his wall. But still. That's some dedication. I'm just saying, it is both creepy and disturbing. So there.

[beatricebidelaire]

The children looked at each other in shock. “You and Olaf know about the file?” Violet asked. Esmé laughed in a particularly nasty way, and, from behind her veil, smiled a particularly nasty smile. “Of course we know about it,” she snarled. “That’s why I’m here—to destroy all thirteen pages.” She took one odd, tottering step toward the Baudelaires. “That’s why we destroyed Jacques Snicket.” She took another stabbing step down the aisle. “And that’s why we’re going to destroy you.”

-- the hostile hospital

the way esme said "that's why i'm here. to destroy all 13 pages. that's why we destroyed jacques snicket. and that's why we're going to destroy you."

part 2 to the. Sinners interacting with the Order. but it's the Narrative Foils.

< Yi Ha-neul finally being to crack Azrael's own "fakeness" around him and learning about his past from Azrael himself, not through flashbacks. Becoming particularly quiet when learning about V-02-5917 and what she meant to Azrael, the same way Ephai meant to Yi Ha-neul at one point. He simply can't just forgive Azrael for his actions but he can understand him a bit better now. He is able to Empathize with him because it shows why Azrael has come to such conclusions because of the environment he grew in. It was all a fight for your life, where happiness wasn't heard of. It's understanding why Azrael had wanted to keep it so hard. Azrael has never seemed so lost in thought and quiet, but Yi Ha-neul was open. Open to the idea of giving him an another chance, properly this time. Welcoming him.

< Amor learning more about Maude, seeing how he was also heavily mistreated and dehumanized to the point of thinking that violence and wrath would be the only way to stop this from happening. It is all the instinct reaction of an abused dog - yelling and fighting your way as a defense mechanism. It is the same way Amor had reacted when he was being mistreated and thought of as just a tool for the company. They've both only known aggression as a defense mechanism but it is Amor's own path that he treaded that teaches Maude that he can also heal in peace. It is being shown that Maude is also welcomed here, welcomed to finally be treated like a person without having to fight for it.

< Liliosa and Yi Ae-ra are really about stopping yourself from having your life dictated by something else you thought that defined you. It is really about giving Liliosa the cold truth that she has been in the wrong about her way of dealing with the problem that stemmed all of her issues. Being blind to your own mistakes is what was dealing her damage, but Yi Ae-ra was always open to helping her forgive herself first. It is, once again, showing that you're capable of change even though you thought you were doomed. Liliosa's insatiable desire to know real love is what made her become lost to the point of no longer knowing her own sense of who she is, and Yi Ae-ra lent her a hand to guide her back to the surface. Showing that she is welcomed even despite her mistakes, that she can be forgiven

< Aridam and Alaya is showing that Aridam can relearn compassion yet again, how it is like to properly love and show love for others and yourself. Aridam has always felt like nothing, like no one wanted to deal with him. Neglected as a person, which was indeed happening to him. His pride is a fake act to try to seem Grand. To seem importance. Losing what was that defined Him. Through the beauty of space, it is Alaya teaching him that despite being at a loss when it comes to understanding yourself and others, you can always start over and let the support of others be your guide like the stars. Being shown exactly that beneath the starry sky, the celestial bodies. Understanding that in this galaxy, there will always be space for you despite how insignificant and unwanted you've once felt. That you were Always welcomed.

< Agatha being shown by Tao Yuqi that dooming yourself to wither with regret until the end of time is not the way. Again being shown that instead of sabotaging your chances to change, you can forgive yourself and take the first step. Being confined to a certain role for so long made her think that she was not capable of breaking the cycle of suffering she had to endure herself. But Yuqi was there, in that kind of role. She was always just scared to even take the first step. By seeing how Agatha used to fight to survive an another day being one of the folks at the bottom, it is clear that her desire for authority was because she wished to Know. Know how it is like not to worry about her life the next day. Now Yuqi's own experiences with being forced into a role of an authority tell Agatha that it will be alright, and that she is welcomed here.

< Sora always losing something in her childhood is what messed her up this much. She has lost family members, her happiness, her joy - it is what she wanted to live for and preserve. Sora wanted nothing but the best, but in the end made it her own source of fear. Fearing that the worst will come for her and her happiness. And deciding to constantly flee, a child's only defense mechanism. Jef's own history with having to lose many things dear to him in life, including his own memories, has shown him that there will always be something new that brings you joy. That being afraid of change is something that you can overcome. Lending her a pencil, he shows that she is also welcome. That she can count on him to overcome this fear.

< Kenix and Yaku.. the most Complicated one. Kenix staying overly quiet, not wanting to look in Yaku's direction out of shame. It is Yaku who reaches out to him. Yaku has always been aware of Kenix's personal struggles but after becoming more familiar with what he has been going through, he wants nothing but to help. To show that Kenix could always break free. That putting his true feelings behind a mask isn't the way to resolve this. Yaku's own experiences with an abusive family show that you can always become a better person than those who wronged you. Kenix just. Being so hesitant to reach out too. His own perspective on people still being ever so flawed. But Yaku's kindness shows that he can also be helped despite his own conclusions. And that he will always be welcomed, as who he wants to be.

A darker twist on ‘The Hostile Hospital’

Inspired by @dearest-solitude‘s “Mercy”

[veryfashionabledesigns]

[bklynmusicnerd]

One more thing, the firing of Shannon Peace is just more signs that the show is moving backwards. There aren't many writers in that room that actually value Trina and now that's one less one.

Also getting rid of their only black breakdown writer is their initial response to the announcement of a new (and already anticipated) black soap being developed by a rival network? May ABC's loss be CBS' gain cause The Gates is coming and SP clearly would be an asset when it comes to black soap storytelling 🤷🏿‍♀️

[beatricebidelaire]

highlights mine

Like a church bell, a coffin, and a vat of melted chocolate, a supply closet is rarely a comfortable place to hide, and this supply closet was no exception. When they shut the door of the closet behind them, the two younger Baudelaires found themselves in a small, cramped room lit only by one flickering lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. -- the hostile hospital

reasonably suspicion of lemony having hidden in melted chocolate before

vs

My discovery of a puddle of water suggests that Violet, the oldest Baudelaire child, invented something at the dinner party held at the Baudelaire mansion quite some time before it burnt to the ground. Crackers with meat and cheese were served, and at least two guests were disguised as desserts. [......] Mr. Baudelaire was about to cut into one of two unusually delicious-looking desserts when Sunny, the youngest Baudelaire child, began to scream. Klaus had recently been reading books about his baby sister’s development - as you know, Klaus has read more books at twelve years old than most of your teachers - and was the first to suggest that Sunny must be “teething” - a word which here means “shrieking in misery, although nothing truly terrible would happen for quite some time.” -- the dismal dinner

bertrand's experience of almost cutting into two people disguised as desserts

Engie, don't threaten to 'lay' anyone out. These people are freaks. They like their fair share of murderous men.

[free-my-boy-grumbot]

Ranking the ASOUE parts because I’m bored and my friend isn’t online

i would love to keep it extensive but i also don’t want tumblr to crash so i will keep it brief. spoilers, obviously. also charcater death.

13. The Grim Grotto

Listen just because it’s 13th doesn’t mean it’s BAD, it just means i’m kinda indifferent to it as opposed to obsessing over it like i do with the others. It’s just that I’m not THAT into nautical themes and I have 2 nautical-themed assignments to do in school today so I’m a little sick of it.

Also, I’m just not that big on Fiona as a character. I didn’t really like the two-girls-hate-each-other-for-no-reason thing that she had going with Violet (especially because it was really out of charcater for her), her romance with Klaus seemed out of place, and her being related to Fernald just seemed like it was pulled out of nowhere to get an emotional reaction. Again, I get why you’d like her and the part, it’s just not for me personally. Also esme’s worst outfit was featured here. Also in the netflix series it just wasn’t as funny as the other ones and that’s a huge thing for me

12. The Wide Window

Honestly didn’t expect this one to be so low, but it’s difficult to choose between these bc i love them all </3 anyways I actually liked Josephine as a charcater, I like the idea that she wants to help the children but is rendered basically incompetent because of her fear, they really popped off with that. HOWEVER they did a very similar thing with Hector but way better so alas </3 12th place

Also like I said, not a massive fan of sea-themed aesthetics. Also also I LOVE all of count olaf’s disguises but I’m kind of indifferent to captain Sham so that also might be why. Also, again, the rest of the netflix series was way funnier

11. The Carnivorous Carnival

Honestly, not much to say about this one. The “not really feeling strongly one way or the other” section has come early this year apparently. Esme and Olivia both SLAYED in their outfits and we got introduced to the circus crew which was cool as fuck. Sadly I have knocked SEVERAL points off for horny count olaf. The scene where he describes madame lulu as buttered really makes you appreciate how little force it takes to rip one’s ear off. It provides me with a new and informed understanding of the phrase “skin crawling”. other than that it’s pretty good :)

10. The Slippery Slope

Now I was one of those people who didn’t know what Mount Fraught syndrome was before reading this book, and the reveal of why the mountain was named that fucking eviscerated me. I was used to this series pulling shit like this constantly and yet this one destroyed me for some reason. If you already knew what mount fraught syndrome was before reading/watching this scene then you didn’t get the full experience and i’m sorry for you.

I also don’t LOVE quigley and violet. I know i just said that about klaus and fiona so it kinda seems like i hate romance, but i really dont. i hate forced romance. romance just isn’t daniel handlers strong suit but he insists on writing it anyway, and that’s fine. it’s what i do with basically everything i write about. Especially since in the netflix series duncan also has a crush on violet so it’s kinda ??? for her to end up with quigley. like do you guys think when quigley and duncan reunited quigley told him about this really cool girl called violet he met and duncan was like “…”. anyways imagine getting cucked by your presumed dead twin brother could not be me

9. The Austere Academy

okay so i felt bad putting this lower because i know someone that really likes this part but i’m sorry it’s just kinda there. i mean it was super funny and the dead horse bit is literally everything but that’s pretty much it. idk maybe there’s a metaphor in there that i’m missing who knows

also olivia was introduced so bonus points for that i guess. she reminds me of miss honey from matilda <33

8. The Ersatz Elevator

honestly i feel bad that this is only 8th but there are so many good ones imsorry. anyways esme and jerome got introduced in this one which gives is a LOT of extra points. i love esme and i pity jerome which makes me also love him. also shoutout to günther for being the only count olaf disguise that could theoretically get it.

my only issue with it is that jerome disowning the baudelaires was kinda forced yk?? like i know it had to happen for the plot to carry on but i don’t think he had a good reason to do it. i guess points for doing something other than just killing them off again?

7. The End

OKAY so you might be thinking “oh, this part is exactly in the middle! surely that means you’re neuteral about it” LMAO I WISH i have extreme positive and negative opinions.

okay so first off it took me a couple of rewatches to get this one because when i first watched it i didn’t know about the quote that it was referencing (“religion is the opium of the people”) but MAN they mentioned that quote in class and i was catatonic for like 2 minutes because oh my god. not only did the incredibly deadly viper come back (yippieee) but they also implied that in the bible adam and eve were actually saved from something by eating the fruit?? the 4chan atheist that lives in my head really likes this one, is what i’m saying. also i know i say that about all of them because my sense of humour is basically based on this series rn but it was so funny. i live and breathe for olaf’s lil christopher columbus moment.

sadly it does have its downsides (olaf and kit) (i really hate olaf and kit) (i don’t think they’re good together). i mean SURELY kit has better taste than that. i mean don’t get me wrong they’re both my favourite characters but they have no common ground on literally anything. plus this is biased but i liked him better with georgina or esme because they remind me of several songs i really like. they literally just pulled the kit x olaf thing out of their ass so that olaf would have some semblance of a reason to die. oh yea i also think olaf didn’t need to die, i know Kit didn’t eat the antidote because it would have affected the baby but olaf could have totally eaten it!! he was offered it!! he wasn’t pregnant!!! it was so out of charcater for him not to eat it!!

6. The Hostile Hospital

Okay this one is SUPER biased because as y’all probably know i love the mad scientist trope it is my favourite trope ever AND i love count olaf so seeing them get put together was so cool. I know I keep bringing this up but i really do love the aesthetics they’re so cool. also also loved all the horror film references. most importantly (actually not that important) esmes outfit went so fucking hard literally i will never recover from the sheer power and moxie of Knife Heels. When I become actually talented at textiles i will recreate her outfit and probably ruin my carpet with those heels.

5. The Bad Beginning

a classic <33 the netflix version of this was literally one of the funniest eps of anything i ever watched i could feel my brain chemistry being rearranged as i watched it. also count olaf’s best era idc what he did he was literally just being sillay. also it has one of the best songs in the series honestly. OH ALSO justice strauss <33 and the troupe <333 literally all the beloveds are here there are no flaws

4. The Reptile Room

MONTY <333 HIIII MONTYYYY <33333333 literally my fav character he has never done anything wrong in his life ever. Also I love his fucking house it’s so cool if I had that much money I too would base my entire house on my special interest. also one of the only parts of the nickelodeon movie i didn’t hate so that’s fun.

3. The Miserable Mill

Lots of cool shit here!! First of all Shirley served astronomical amounts of cunt she had zero bad lines. Also I honestly think Georgina and Olaf were so underrated they remind me of several songs i like also they’re both fucked up and evil <333 she’s like esme but without the ulterior sugar bowl motives. also the fact that her name is GEORGINA ORWELL like ok. queen of subtlety. Like I get it if I was named that I would prolly start hypnotising people too. I also kinda love orwellian themes yk those are always fun.

AND OMG HOW COULD I FORGET CHARLESSS i feel so bad for him constantly he has never done anything wrong in his life and is also inexplicably british i love him sm

2. The Penultimate Peril

I love a good reunion episode tbh i love seeing all the characters together <33 also like this episode is so fun to dissect? (is that the right word?) i loved figuring out who JS was i loved finding differences between Frank and Ernest I loved figuring out what the fuck was going on it was so fun it’s like the best thing about this series.

of course that’s only partially true tpp would be nothing without those sexy sexy monologues

1. The Vile Village

TVV BELOVED <33 I have a separate post about the but they literally have everything. it’s a metaphor for autism it’s a metaphor for religion it’s a metaphor for the school system is there anything they CANT do. Also this is like my 5th time saying this but there are 300+ characters and i’m an indecisive bitch so i will do it again. Hector the actual loml is literally my fav charcater hes so me. don’t worry dude i cant openly defy authority despite knowing its unjust either <3 literally we would be best friends irl. she’s RELATABLE she’s MORALLY AMBIGUOUS she has SEVERAL INTERPRETATIONS I AGREE WITH she’s STRANGE she’s everything you want in an asoue book honestly

Also detective dupin and officer luciana kinda slayed what was Wrong with them <3

[babybluelove2]

currently watching melanie martinez’s K-12 movie and ive always thought that her music and asoue give the same vibes.

Dont get me wrong, the aesthetics are totally different but the nursery rhyme melodies w dark lyrics/meanings is so asoue

[chatpileroan]

one of those "well good attempt however the world post this is about to get 1000000x worse" because now the invisible man Threat these people has been told exists over and over is tangible and theres now Awesome Photos of trump pumping his fist covered in blood and suddenly all the violence his supporters have done and Will do is even more justified in their eyes. john wilkes booth baby we've failed you. whoever the hell got jfk also
