What's more important to VFD - justice or peace?

N.B. This post follows on from my theory that Jacquelyn is at fault in Netflix Canon: https://www.tumblr.com/unfortunatetheorist/740049868985352192?source=share.

Following on from the above,

If Jacquelyn didn't get onto the SS Prospero, the Baudelaires get ahold of their fortune and Olaf returns from Peru an empty-handed free man.

This seems to imply a sense of relative peace...

...as far as the Baudelaires are concerned.

Connecting the dots further, it's possible that Olaf was (albeit very briefly) going to run in to his mentors, who were busy hunting the Quagmire parents. Olaf has had fewer mess-ups by this point (compared to TSS), so he may be able to swindle them out of things he needs to get back to Baudelaire-hunting, including getting out of the manhunt.

He's not completely stupid, he knows that manhunts take years to die down, his included. So he needs to be a free man in the city, by roughly the next three years, before Violet turns 18. His High Court mentors can easily get this. After all, Justice Strauss has known them for years, even referring to them in TPP as "my esteemed colleagues".

(Olaf could then sneak onto the Quagmires' plane from Peru, back to the city, where he'd be free by the arrangements ± legal loopholes of his mentors. This could result in Olaf killing the Quagmires; they're all witnesses to his crime and, hence, risk his newfound freedom).

Arguably, this puts a greater sense of fear into the Baudelaires: they spend three to four years not knowing if, when or where Olaf will hunt them down for their fortune. Plus they're living with a phobic Josephine.

So there isn't really any peace for them either.

But... why would Jacquelyn do this? If she's such a noble character, member of the V.F.D., why would she not stop and think about the consequences of her actions on the Baudelaires?

Because:

1. VFD members are taught not to do this. From ATWQ, Lemony says "Do the scary thing first and get scared later". In TGG, Fiona and Fernald say that an old VFD saying is "They who hesitate are lost". Note: these can apply to both sides of the schism.

2. The V.F.D. knows that the Baudelaires are intellectually curious and that they won't stop searching until they find out the truth. If Jacquelyn didn't act, it would have taken them longer to discover the truth about the VFD, the secret tunnel under their home leading to 667 Dark Avenue, and that fateful night at the opera, when Olaf's parents died. As far as the VFD are concerned, ignorance is not bliss. It's... whatever the opposite of bliss is. Torture?

...in answer to our original question, justice/revenge is clearly more important than peace/diplomacy, but the greatest priority to the VFD is intellectual curiosity.

Hope it makes some amount of sense,

“She is the greatest to advise All I have to say and all that comes to my mind I hope she knows she is divine I hope she knows she’s the one for my kind Girl you know, you are divine

And I hope to god That she sees it on my face When she looks at me that way Oh god I’m afraid You won’t take my girl from me I will love her anyway She tells me she’s afraid I tell her it’s okay They love to chase me

And I love her lips, her kiss and the way she looks at me Girl, they say I’m just a kid who is playing with the devil disguised in jeans But she is just so beautiful She says I’m not alone It’s easy

I hope to god that she sees on my face When she looks at me that way Girl, I’m in trouble You can see it on my face I would do it all again” - Ana Hazl

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?

Have a Jacquelyn Scieszka wip for now, I'll post the final piece when I've finished it! :)

She's my wife, I love her sm 🫣

[just-an-enby-lemon]

I should stop having fanfic ideas. I'll likely never write any of them and they aren't good (though I do want to finish my WTNV because I did start if) but they invade my mind and I can't stop thinking about them.

Right now, my brain decided that the best way for me to not be thinking about all the thing that I have to do and how they will go wrong was to think about what if series!Olivia had read the book and had the same ideas but was recruited by a way more book accurated morally gray VFD to a Jacques that is still cool and suave but also overworked, ready to implode in unadressed trauma and not as heroic. Larry and Jacqueline should still be there. I like them. I think they can easily be integrated to the grayer, older and even more complex book version of VFD easilly.

Now I think that Olivia being there (and Lulu being a separated person) as well as Jacques not being a lone agent would have changed things. But mostly I just want the story of a lonely young woman thinking she finally got something that can change the world for the better and slowly realizing that it can only really work if a lot of things change. How someone who didn't "volunteer' as kid would deal with it and how it would be likelt way closer to what VFD was when it started (because I do think it was a good thing at first). And I like stories of disapointment and the end of hero workship specially if this idea still has the hope of understand people are mixed salads and trying to make something better with the broken pieces.

Summary: "Olivia?"

She looks up in surprise, "Sorry, is everything alright?"

"Yes, better than alright! But... are you okay?"

"I'm okay," she smiles fondly, "Promise,"

She is okay. Her wounds have healed, and without them, she might never have escaped that organization with her fiancée, never met these children, her children, never to be snatched away again. They had been burned down to their lowest, until they built each other back up from the ground. And she would do it all over again, if it meant to be where she was now.

Or

Jacquelyn, Olivia, and the Quagmires get the home that they deserve.
