more ASOUE fanart because i’ve been obsessed with it for 7 years and only now realised i have the power to draw

[ven10]

Something about the Baudelaires+the tragedies they face being associated with fire (the fire that destroyed their home, the fire at the Caligari Carnival, the fire at the hotel Denouement…) vs the Quagmires+their tragedies being associated with water (Duncan+Isadora being kidnapped+stashed inside a statue of a fish then later inside of a fountain, the Baudelaires finding Quigley in the Hinterlands surrounded by ice, Quigley+Violet having a key moment on a frozen waterfall, Quigley+the Baudelaires escaping via said waterfall, Quigley being seperated from the Baudelaires by the Stricken Stream, Quigley sending a telegram to Violet whilst she is in a submarine fully submerged in water, the Baudelaires almost reuniting with Quigley after travelling in the depths of the sea in ‘The Grim Grotto’, in ‘The Penultimate Peril’ when it’s revealed that Duncan+Isadora are in danger of drowning as eagles attack their self-sustaining hot air mobile home which is flying over the sea and,of course, all three Quagmire triplets becoming lost (in the sea) to the great unknown.

This is especially evident in ‘The Vile Village’ when the Baudelaires have just rescued the Quagmires who at that point were “two dripping figures” bc of the “rushing water” of the fountain they were trapped in which is then contrasted, merely one paragraph later, by the man who causes the majority of the Baudelaires troubles brandishing fire, “Detective Dupin, holding a torch and heading straight toward the Baudelaire orphans.” [evidence taken from pages 210+211 of ‘The Vile Village’.]

This could represent a number of things:

1: The Quagmires trying to help the Baudelaires like how water extinguishes fire.

2: The cold way in which Olaf uses the Quagmires solely for their fortune and his own sadistic purpose as opposed to his hunting down of the Baudelaires being fuelled by burning revenge.

It’s also interesting how Duncan+Isadora are associated with water whereas Quigley is initially associated with ice in TSS until he+the Baudelaires begin to rely on each other and then he is associated with water (the ice of the stricken stream cracking and Quigley being carried away with it). Due to this, there is solid reasoning to view water in asoue as a metaphor for friendship (at least in the case of the Quagmires).

Day 15 snicketober catch up: the last safe place

Just reminded me of this scene <3

[fanonical]

quigley: why did my parents look at their new baby and decide to call him 'quigley quagmire' lemony: you too, huh? dewey: join the club

[cygninae]

Whatever you do, don't start thinking about those months where Quigley was lost and alone and trying to find his siblings. Don't think about him speaking to himself, pretending he's with his siblings, just so he doesn't start crying. Don't think about him pacing, waiting for Jacques to return. Don't think about him shivering and starving and feeling guilty for not making the most of the life he used to have. Don't think about him overthinking the last conversations he had with his family members. Don't think about it.

I don't like A Series of Unfortunate Events because of everything we know about its characters and world. Rather, I like it for everyone we don't know.

I WANT TO READ A FANFIC WHERE THE BAUDELAIRE ORPHANS JUST. MAKE COUNT OLAF GO MAD. GIVE HIM A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE?

VIOLET CREATES A VERY ADVANCED VOICE CHANGER THAT ALL THREE OF THEM USE TO MESS WITH THE ENTIRE CREW AND COUNT OKAF IS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS THAT ITS THE BAUDELAIRES BUT NOONE BELIEVES HIM

SUNNY MAKES THE OUTFITS, USING HER TEETH AND CREATIVITY TO CUT EVEN THE HARDEST OF FABRICS PERFECTLY

KLAUS IS THEIR SCRIPT-WRITER, MEMORISING HUNDREDS OF FACTS TO CREATE FULL-PROOF ALIBIS

THEY ASK THE QUAGMIRES FOR HELP, WHICH THEY MORE THAN HAPPILY AGREE TO.

And just… yesss….

One of the Quagmire triplets canonically plays the violin! If it was Isadora or Duncan then Nero’s “concerts” would have been so much worse for them….😀

ALSO!!! Quigley plays the ACCORDION!!! 🪗 I’m saying it’s Quigley who plays it bc in TSS he mentions reading a book by L.Snicket on how to play the accordion!

(Also there’s some pretty cool foreshadowing of ‘The Carnivorous Carnival’ with there being a miniature circus tent under the table in their bedroom!!! 🎪)
