Incoming: spam of good questions. (Sent on Anon bc I want this to be about you having positive stuff, not about whoever-is-doing-this being nice.)

THIS IS SO SWEET on all the levels. thank you so much!!! i’m gonna just copy-past these questions here and answer them sequentially + directly

When did you first start shipping Giles/Jenny? At what point did you know that they were the OTP for you?

tbqh, it wasn’t till s2 that i realized how cute i found them. like they’d had the whole tensiony thing going in s1, and i loved the way they interacted already, but when i saw them giving each other big heart eyes in when she was bad it was like. sign me the fuck UP. the moment i knew for CERTAIN was like literally all of some assembly required because that whole sequence of events was so adorable.

not to derail, but i maintain that giles and jenny were a slow burn couple who burned way too damn fast. they were barely friends at the end of i robot and suddenly she’s giving him the soft eyes in prophecy girl???? where are all the awkward tense uncomfy conversations???? we were Robbed

Do you ship Jenny with anyone besides Giles? If so, who?

canon does not give me many age-appropriate options (which says something Significant about btvs and its lack of female mentor figures). the only 2 ships i see regularly in fic (besides g/j of course) are jenny/xander (ick.) and jenny/joyce (which i just don’t see; they have like nothing in common whatsoever). tl;dr i ship jenny with lilah in a friends-with-benefits situation (or in very very specific circumstances, like in my detective au, where jenny doesn’t know from the get-go that lilah is straight-up evil), and i HARDCORE ship jenny with olivia caliban from asoue. because olivia is soft and kind and warm and that is jenny’s type of person, no matter how hard she likes to pretend she goes for the badass people

Do you ship Giles with anyone besides Jenny? If so, who

ETHAN RAYNE. god. those two were Chaos Boyfriends it’s canon and they have such a flirty angry charged dynamic. i swoon

What flavor milkshake would Jenny order? What flavor would she order for Giles?

jenny would order something with coffee, cookies, or caramel, and then wheedle giles into trying some of hers. she wouldn’t order a milkshake for him bc giles thinks milkshakes are stupid (”ice cream was already milk!!! milk is milk is milk!!!!”). they are probably having an argument in an ice cream parlor right now

Have you ever written a fanfic that explored Jenny’s heritage as a Romany woman?

i have not. very specifically because canon did a horrible job of it and the last thing i want to do is echo that, + i don’t think i know enough about romany culture to do it in a way that did jenny or her culture justice. 

What’s your favorite Jenny quote?

“i just wanna help.” i want to shove this at anyone who says jenny’s a cold, callous, vengeful person, because all that woman has in her heart is love and she just does not know what to do with it. she deserved to love and be loved and it breaks my damn heart.

ASOUE Season 2 Thoughts

I thought the acting and the pacing and general setting of the show felt more natural in S2. Not that it didn’t have that weird unreality feeling but it just... flowed better? Or maybe it was just because I was used to it.

I was wondering why K. Todd Freeman was still listed as a main character and I’m glad they got to incorporate him into the episodes he wasn’t in in the Book!Verse. They did a good job with that and it never felt weird or forced since Poe is so useless and oblivious anyway. Like of COURSE he’d show up randomly. (Also K. Todd Freeman’s Poe is just amazing)

Kinda sad that they cut Violet’s scene at the end of the Hostile Hospital where she loses hope for a minute, kinda like Klaus does in the jail of TVV. They sort of brushed over that scene too. I guess they’ve had more recruiting scenes for them, though, so it’s not like they haven’t been given development it’s just been different. Also Violet needs to get her ribbon back stat

So the casting on this show is constantly surprising me in a good way. I wasn’t at all sold on Neil Patrick Harris or Patrick Warburton for season 1 and I wasn’t sold on Lucy Punch or Tony Hale for season 2 but man they’ve all been fantastic so far.

They did SUCH a good job with Hal. Betraying Hal is the first “wicked” thing the Baudelaires do and in the books it fell a little flat just cause Hal is... sort of just a friendly but oblivious old man? And it’s not “right” to trick him but you know, it has to be done. But in the SHOW oh man they really milked the betrayal thing hard. And that never gets resolved, either. He just... genuinely believes that the people he trusted most turned on him. Poor Hal.

They did a good job with Nero too. I think Book!Nero would have gotten grating really quick because he yells everything and is a jerk. In the show he’s still a jerk but he comes off as more... unhinged and not completely aware that he’s obnoxious, as opposed to an intentionally caustic asshole.

Granted they didn’t give him the snail tie. RIP snail tie

“Those who can’t do, teach.”

Larry Your-Waiter is a gem. I don’t know what’s going to happen with him, I’m like 98% sure he’s not going to ‘be’ anyone as a twist (unless he’s the Snow Scout leader? Actually that I could see, since he’s heading to the mountains...) but I also don’t know if he’s going to die or live or WHAT since he wasn’t really in the books.

Jacqueline too? She’s not Kit, so who is she?

Speaking of Kit, it occurred to me that they’re probably teasing Kit as Beatrice. Which is interesting but doesn’t quite have the right impact since book readers won’t fall for it and show watchers don’t know who Beatrice is, other than Lemony’s ex.

They’re doing the ‘survivor of the fire’ Quagmire twist twice. Granted this one was in the books too.

I don’t really like how they adapted Olivia, that’s the only one so far that’s disappointed me. It doesn’t make sense especially since the Calibans are an old VFD family and we actually meet Olivia’s sister Miranda and Miranda’s daughter Friday in book 13. I also liked the inclusion of a character in the books who wanted nothing to do with the schism since as far as I can recall, Olivia was the only one. And in the show the Baudelaires don’t really need another person helping them on the sidelines; they’ve got Jacqueline and Larry. I just didn’t see the point.

However, the mini plotline with Jacques and Olivia DOES give me hope that they’ll do a similar thing with Kit and Dewey. Maybe just Kit, since Dewey works undercover, but he could pose as his brothers. Or be her agent on base or something. (I’m almost certain we’ll get Extra Kit Scenes but I’m not sure about Dewey)

What the heck happened with Olaf and Josephine

Who taught Sunny to swear

Fernald is perfect and I am so hyped for TGG to see his development

Speaking of Fernald/the Henchpeople... they didn’t kill off the Henchperson of Indeterminate Gender or The Bald Man which I’m happy about, since it wouldn’t have hit the same way with the way the henchpeople are played in the show, but... I sort of liked watching Olaf’s troupe die off and leave him, one by one in the books. It gave everything a more serious tone. Like I still hope Fernald and the White-Faced Women leave, and maybe the Bald Man and the Henchperson do as well? But who knows they might just take that bit out entirely.

Two lions

The Dance Scene had me looking for Widdershins and the Denouements shook. Also they said the night at the opera the sugar bowl was stolen but I thought the opera was when Olaf’s parents got murdered? Or was it the same night? Does the sugar bowl contain poison darts?

By the way today, October 25th, is Esmé and Georgina’s anniversary of any of you even give a single flying fuck about it

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.
