(featuring the particular agony of knowing nobody else who has read a series you've finished so your fan art is incomprehensible and cannot be fully explained without spoilers)

So I’m watching the Series of Unfortunate Events movie (while high because I’m an idiot) and I’m realizing just how fucking terrifying this movie is. I forgot it gave me nightmares the first time I saw it as a kid (in theaters because I’m an idiot. )

gotta say, reading lemony snicket as a kid: ah yes, the normal childhood experience. unwanted by all the adults in your life and actively abused on a near constant basis 🙂

me as an adult rereading lemony snicket:SOMEBODY FUCKING DO SOMETHING! THESE POOR CHILDREN HAVE BEEN TBEOUGH ENOUGH AND INEVITABLY THEY GET SENT TO >ANOTHER< UNSAFE HOME OVER AND OVER AND OVER

FUCK

a series of unfortunate events is really the blueprint for characters doomed by the narrative like i think that series changed my brain chemistry forever… the title tells you how the story will end and the author repeatedly tries to warn you away but still you pick up the book. the first sentence is that it’s a tragedy and you keep reading anyway.. you read through the whole story and it’s terrible and tragic and unfortunate and then after you’ve stayed up late reading it under your covers with a flashlight, you go to your school library as soon as class is over and check out the next book in the series because you need to know what happens even though really, you already know. the end is right there in the title, it’s there in every page .. before the story even begins you know it’s a tragedy and you read it anyway and—

I was cleaning out a flat file and these Unfortunate Events drawings. I don't remember how they were used but thought they were fun.

Happy (???) 25th Anniversary to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events!

(It was yesterday actually but I was to overwhelmed by a few things to post this across every platform)

[drowninginredink]

The one detail in Penultimate Peril that I will never, ever get over is that Lemony Snicket smokes. He shows up and offers to take away the Baudelaires, and he's smoking a cigarette.

All through the series, fire is the ultimate Bad Thing. The good guys are firefighters and the bad guys are firestarters. Arson is the worst crime. And the Baudelaires' descent into moral ambiguity is shown through them starting multiple fires.

Lemony Snicket might as well be the poster boy for VFD. He was raised in it since infancy. He lost Beatrice because of the consequences of being a volunteer. He has been on the lam for at least fifteen years because of his dedication to it. He lost both of his siblings to it. There are plenty of people in the series who question VFD and its motives, but for all it's done to hurt him, Snicket is very loyal. He does point out some flaws, but not as many as you'd expect.

And yet Lemony smokes. Lemony starts fires every day to feed his own addiction. He carries a lighter or matches with him at all times, just like the villains do. He regularly engages in a massive fire hazard. He says himself that a man who smokes cigarettes is somewhere in between wicked and noble. I want to know how someone so deep in VFD even started smoking.

I think the one thing I am the saltiest about Netflix not including is that. Truly Lemony being a smoker is everything to me.

I love no one but you, I have discovered, but you are far away and I am here alone. Then this is my life and maybe, however unlikely, I'll find my way back there. Or maybe, one day, I'll settle for second best. And on that same day, hell will freeze over, the sun will burn out and the stars will fall from the sky.
