Navy: I will steal your sugar bowl
NOT AGAIN!!!
Little do you know I've been deploying countless decoy sugar bowls, leaving them out, making them known. You may steal a sugar bowl from me, but will it be the sugar bowl? Make your play, but know you'll only get one chance. Choose wisely

kit/georgina for the ship meme
Oooh that's an interesting one, thank you!!
The idea that their dynamic is "the scientists among theatre kids" is definately very appealing to me—the idea that they are both very mechanically-minded (Kit with actual machines and Georgina treating the human mind the same way) and can actually discuss things with that straight-forwardness without being sidetracked by metaphor is a super fun one
On the other hand, they could be seen as almost an "opposites attract" scenario in the sense that I've always imagined Kit struggling with hiding her emotions, while Georgina is an expert at it. The lack of balance in that regard would absolutely be really fun to explore
I also just love adding to my "Kit's type is villains" headcanon (though does it really count as a headcanon at this point) but (because I like angst) I also love the idea that for once Kit thought she'd picked someone sweet and good and then....... got to know Georgina better and felt utterly betrayed
Send me a ship and I’ll tell you three things I like about it!
#the lesbian herself#virginian wolfsnake#this was very fun!!!#i haven't thought about the two of them much before#but i certainly will be now#i'd like to clarify that kit herself does have a questionable moral code#but she also has a very strong sense of right and wrong#i know how my headcanons fit together i promise

beatrice baudelaire!
my girl!
How I feel about this character: I've always been really interested in Beatrice because of how mysterious she is. Like, as a fandom we have a lot of headcanons and stuff we've extrapolated from the books and supplementary material, but on pure canon there's a lot of gaps in what we know about her that makes her interesting, especially when it comes to fans trying to fill in those gaps. And I like that she was just this super cool and super hot woman that everyone was so incredibly obsessed with no matter what side they were on, everyone and their mother had a complex about Beatrice.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: If Daniel Handler didn't want me to become far too obsessed with Lemony and Beatrice as a couple, he shouldn't have written five hundred thousand words of Lemony going "Beatrice I love you so much let me list it all" as a way to reassure her when she asks 'hey do you still love me' in the 200 page break up book she wrote. That's just insane, of course I ship it. I'm also really into Beatrice/Bertrand as a couple too, people can have multiple great loves. And depending on my mood I can be really into the lemonberryice throuple.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Beatrice and Kit's relationship is always gonna be interesting to me, and Olaf and Beatrice just seem to have had the most fascinating dynamic, legit friends in childhood to some more vitriolic friendship and then she murders his parents and then he torments her innocent children, it's Good.
My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't know if I've got any necessarily unpopular ones because this fandom in general, and especially the bit focused on the sugarbowl generation, is very small and most of the stuff I've seen I agree with. I guess I might characterize Beatrice as a bit, idk, colder than most? For all her other facets, Olaf was someone she knew and seems to have gotten along with well on a personal level, and she still doesn't seem to have spent much time outwardly agonizing over what might have been straight cold blooded murder. I don't think she was evil or unfeeling, and there's a reason she pulled back from VFD stuff especially after having children, but there might be a more ruthless streak there in my view than in some other people's.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: idk man, that she fuckin lived? It's a bummer that she's dead, she was a devoted mother and a good friend and an important part of a lot of people's lives and it seems like a bunch of worlds were dimmer without her in them, her kids are gonna miss her for the rest of their lives and Lemony is still deeply affected by losing her literal decades after the fact. I wish she'd been able to meet little Beatrice too, I think they would have gotten along great.
#personal#answered#virginian-wolfsnake#beatrice baudelaire#i remember when writing the lemony and beatrice ii fic i did make a conscious decision not to have him refer to her by name#and just constantly go 'my niece'#one because i have a lot of thoughts about the way lemony uses names vs when he characterizes people through their connection to him#(he tends to avoid calling jacques and kit his siblings in asoue except for the moment he describes their deaths)#(as that's when he loses the separation between himself and the story and needs them to be his brother and his sister not just characters)#two because he's again very obviously still mourning og beatrice#she was there she left quite a mark on a lot of people#really the way she was tangled up in so much of the story and in other people's lives and they had such a strong connection to her#and strong feelings about her#lemony obviously and her children duh but also kit and olaf and esme#she's this bright red silk thread of connection for so many people#and as a poe (poet) enjoyer always love a lost lenore motif

for the character thing if you’re still doing them… how about monty?
How I feel about this character: Monty my beloved. I think he's my favourite among the guardians - sure, he fucked up too, but he was really trying to make the Baudelaires feel welcome and at home. And he's really funny and charming! And he loves animals! And Netflix made him ridiculously handsome! Yeah, love this guy.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: I imagine he and Gustav had a very sweet romance before the Horrors.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Can't remember how and why I came up with the idea of him and Bertrand sharing an apartment when they were younger, but I am very fond of this headcanon of mine
My unpopular opinion about this character: I think I remember seeing well-argued posts on why he must be older than Lemony, Olaf, and most other Sugar Bowl Generation volunteers, but I've been imagining him the same age as everyone else for so long that I'm not gonna try to change my mind at this point.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Part of me wants to say "not dying", but from the narrative standpoint, all first guardians should die, isn't that so? It's not even the kind of situation where the kind of ambiguous fate faced by many characters in the later books would have worked. So instead I'm gonna say that it would've been nice to get more mentions of him in the later books, either by other characters or within Lemony's narration.

25 & 26?
25. What other websites or resources do you use most often when you write?
hm, this is a really interesting question. i don’t know that i use a lot of resources when i write. i do almost all of my writing in google docs, and i use google so much to do basic research and check what words actually mean. what with the AI stuff, i should probably stop doing that, pick an online dictionary, and go straight to the source.
i do also watch youtube videos for research purposes a lot—like the rabbit holes i went down tying to explain how to hand make noodles or re-string a lute. i get hung up on explaining little tiny details, that are not remotely plot relevant, correctly.
oh, actually, a digital/ctl+f-able copy of the source material and the sprint board i keep in my bullet journal are actually the most important resources for me.
26. Would you rather write a fic that had no dialogue or one that was only dialogue?
dialogue only! i think if you’re writing drabbles either is fairly easy, but (probably obviously from my love of drabbles) i love arbitrary structural constraints so the idea of writing a longer fic that is all dialogue does really appeal to me (adding this to my mental list). also, my go to solution to something feeling flat or too passive is to re-write it with more dialogue, so having no dialogue in a longer fic seems like it would be really really difficult.
thank you for asking!

@thefinaljediknight, thanks for the tag!
Last reads: I've just finished 'Dune' by Frank Herbert and I really enjoyed it. There's such a pervasive sense of doom throughout the entire book.
Current reads: Nearly done with 'Als ich ein kleiner Junge war' (meaning 'When I was a little boy', there seems to be no English version) by Erich Kästner. A super heart-felt and witty memoir.
Next reads: Spooky season is upon us, so I'll pick up the one creepy book from my TBR, which is 'The White Dominican' by Gustav Meyrink. And I need to check out some horror fanfiction.
Tagging: @al-val-meadow, @volunteerfelinedetectives, @snowdropnature, @dragoneyes618, @cleverqueencommander, @jacobsnicket, @acacia-may, @virginian-wolfsnake, @wimplee, @insane-author, and anyone I forgot and/or feels free to join. 😊

hey! i hope you're having a good day! i just read your (amazing!) asoue fic "ashes to ashes," and i was fascinated by the way you portrayed kit and olaf. i thought i'd send this ask because i'd really love to hear more of your thoughts on their dynamic if you feel like sharing? but if you don't feel like expanding on it, i totally understand! thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work on ao3!
OHH anon you are so kind...i apologize for being so extremely late but i just finished writing a little analysis so i figured now's about the right time to write a semi-legible response. might have been scary and incomprehensible otherwise. but i am finally here to scream and cry and thank you so desperately because im SO happy you enjoyed them AND decided to ask for more info! <3
to begin, i'd be absolutely inconsolable if i didn't point you towards @virginian-wolfsnake's fic the eye of the storm, probably one of my fave k&o fics of all time that delves into the meat of their relationship through the years from the perspective of kit. they're young and still excited by missions and flirty and tender and genuine, and, in time, when the rest of their world collapses, so do they--messy and tense and so wonderfully realistic you have to read it and then read it again. honestly, if you don't want to read the rest of this but still want an answer, just read that. but also read it anyway
and now i have to ask you to forgive me...i have not read the books in a very long time and while i know the netflix series (in comparison) is bad and awful and terrible, i have watched it a million times. so if i'm wrong on anything. that's why.
to begin, the version of olaf i depicted in my fic is at the height of his...how do you say...pathetic misery. not including the spiral he has during the series. to me, the death of his parents are the beginning of his downfall into something-like-insanity, but he's still (and will continue to be) recognizably himself, if that makes sense. he's always been messy and emotional and dramatic (see the line: "...Kit has seen him in worse states and with a much better view..."), but only now does he reveal not a different side of himself per se, but a different angle of one that already existed.
im a fervent believer that olaf's always been a little self destructive and a lot crazy. hes spent the greater half of his life coming to terms with the fact that he is intrinsically not as noble as the rest of vfd--hes impulsive and obnoxious and self-obsessed, barely even literate at times--and it takes a special kind of guy to carve the insignia of the organization full of people he despises into his own front door. still, his parents' death was a catalyst, meaning he wasn't entirely opposed to vfd beforehand. he probably liked the missions and the secrecy and the dramatics, obviously the disguises and everything, but i think before the night at the opera it was really just a source of fun for him. he never truly grasped the reality of it, the nature of his actions and the weight of his involvement. whether that was out of naivety or pure neglect of the facts is up for debate. (there's a little bit of this in the shattering of thalia and melpomene if that interests you at all, beloved anon. see the line: "...[Esme] could never compare to the extent to which [Olaf] removes himself from everyone else entirely. How he spends so much time worrying about himself he almost forgets to worry about himself...Esme could never truly get lost in her own greatness. Could never turn a blind eye to the inner workings of V.F.D.")
kit, on the other hand, definitely did. serving as a volunteer was her purpose, the sole thing she had to cling to. she dedicated her life to it, making conscious decisions to go against her moral code in the hope that it all truly was for a greater good. i think, at times, she could fall into her own little fits of self-destruction, putting vfd above herself entirely (see the line: "This wouldn’t be the first time she’d done something she would never truly volunteer for...he’d still spent year after year watching her run off...to do something she could never speak of." "...she still returned with clenched teeth and knit eyebrows, as though she had no choice in the matter at all.")
to avoid any more convolution, in my mind it goes something like this: both are volunteers--olaf born and raised (along with beatrice), kit torn from her family and thrust into the thick of it so early on its all she knows. they grow up, probably-definitely know each other but dont know each other until, say, late teens-early twenties?
up until then, they've been everything previously described, but intermingling with one another changes this. olaf's easygoing approach rubs off on kit, partly because she finds more joy in his company than in missions, partly because he makes every attempt to keep her from leaving. i like to think she tries to keep his relatively flimsy moral code in check, or at the very least restrain his temper to the best of her abilities.
to me, they're a simultaneously great and terrible couple. at their best, they counteract each other in a positive way as described above and serve as a welcome distraction from the realities of a crumbling vfd, a little island of tenderness and domesticity in the ocean of turmoil that surrounds them.
and at their worst, their personalities combat so violently it's hard to see how they ever could have been together. olaf deals out the worst of it, prone to neglect and self-isolation, a deeply inset refusal to discuss anything with her, an inclination towards firestarting and an increasingly poor reputation with everyone kit knows. then again, kit isn't free of blame (if you can call it that), she's just as opposed to talking anything out as he is, and her isolation takes on the shape of running off to do as many missions as as she can before she's dead on her feet. she's pulled in different directions--a well-instilled hatred towards firestarers, only further influenced by whatever rumours olaf's growing list of enemies supplies her, versus her love for him, her knowledge of who he really is, a concept that is often tested. (see the line: "He’s reminded of a fight they once had, about something or other, that ended in her angry admission that it was easier to be upset with him when he wasn’t nearby.")
anyway, the idea is they grow further and further apart both ideologically and physically/relationship-wise until the opera night and the crash following that (see: the whole fic!) and from then on i think they fall into something like an evil situationship. they barely see each other, complete opposite sides of the schism. i say situationship because i think when they do see each other (on missions, at events/in public, in private, etc.) it is just a terrible experience no matter what. they're both torn between hating the other for what they know about them/what they did (i like to think olaf finds out about kit supplying the darts) and reminiscing/yearning for what they once had.
for the sake of this i wont give my thoughts on whose baby kit has because that's a whole other thing (not really. its just more of a fun hc i think about on occasion as opposed to something concrete in canon or even my version of canon) but their scene in the end does make me insane. its a culmination of all the time spent wishing what happened didnt happen, almost as though theyre seeing each other for the first time once again, perhaps not blind to the past but looking away for (on olafs part) one final moment of normalcy.
i hope thats what you were looking for to any degree, anon. im a little rusty on my lore but they matter to me soo much. if i have to leave this on anything, its go read eye of the storm. kitlaf fic of all time.
#im so sorry this took approximately one million years#i hope it suffices anon...#also i hope its ok to tag u out of the blue my wonderful mutual#that fic is so good....makes me crazy everytime i think abt it#asoue#a series of unfortunate events#count olaf#kit snicket#kitlaf#answered asks#analysis#fic posting

The R - Part 1:
What is the connection between Mr Remora and Duchess R [of Winnipeg]?
One of the many mysteries that Lemony Snicket has left behind for readers (and viewers, to a certain extent) is 'What does the R stand for, in "Duchess R" ?' I am going to attempt to answer this question using any resources available, under the title 'The R'. This will be over a series of unfortunate posts, in this format.
Firstly, we must look for any and all clues that can give us even the slightest hint as to what R might stand for.
For this, I have gone through every character in ASOUE and this is produced: (after the cut, but feel free to skip ahead)

Mr. Spats
Mrs. Spats

Baron van de Wetering
Yeah. Every single one.
Now, let's rule out everyone who does not have a name beginning with R, or is unclear: (again, feel free to skip ahead)
Bald Man with the Long Nose
Mrs. Bass
Henchperson of Indeterminate Gender
Incredibly Deadly Viper
Kind Editor
Man with a Beard but No Hair

Ms. Marlow
Madame Nordoff
Mr. Pitcairn
Robinson
Beekeeper
Duchess R
R's Mother
R's Father
Young Rölf
Mr. Spats
Mrs. Spats
Town Fathers
As the title states, we'll keep some focus on Remora, but we'll eliminate all other minor characters:
Bald Man with the Long Nose
Henchperson of Indeterminate Gender
Incredibly Deadly Viper
Kind Editor
Man with a Beard but No Hair
Mr. Remora
White-Faced Women
Woman with Hair but No Beard
Wart-Faced Man
Madame diLustro
Monty Montgomery's Sister
Bertrand Baudelaire's Cousin
Robinson
Duchess R
R's Mother
R's Father
Young Rölf
According to Various Fan Deductions:
TMWABBNH & TWWHBNB are Gifford & Ghede
The White-Faced Women are Zada and Zora
Lemony's Kind Editor is Moxie Mallahan
Madame diLustro is Sunny Baudelaire
This rules out the 4 of them.
Bald Man with the Long Nose
Henchperson of Indeterminate Gender
Incredibly Deadly Viper
Mr. Remora
Wart-Faced Man
Monty Montgomery's Sister
Bertrand Baudelaire's Cousin
Robinson
Duchess R
R's Mother
R's Father
Young Rölf
Logically speaking, why would there be a connection between Ink and Duchess R? Let's eliminate unlikely possibilities:
Mr. Remora
Monty Montgomery's Sister
Bertrand Baudelaire's Cousin
Robinson
Duchess R
R's Mother
R's Father
Young Rölf
Monty Montgomery's sister would be (_insert name here_) Montgomery. This, to me, rules her out too... and the same logic applies to Bertrand's cousin.
Mr. Remora
Robinson
(Duchess R)
(R's Mother)
(R's Father)
Young Rölf
Obviously her family are related:
Mr. Remora
Robinson - Islander
Young Rölf
So, the above names are generated. I will, henceforth, analyse a link between each character and R, starting with Remora.
POINTS:
a. It's known that a few characters in the Snicket-verse have alliterating names, such as Quigley Quagmire, Beatrice Baudelaire.
b. It's also known that some characters have WEIRD connections to others, such as Quigley's 'relation' to Mr Poe.
THEORY: Given a. and b. to be true, Mr R _______ Remora, has some abstract connection to the Duchess.
This connection can only really be established if one goes by Netflix canon and assumes Nero's surname to be Feint, and combines this with ATWQ:
Duchess R is Remora's boss' ancestor's murderer's friend.
R's friend is Lemony, who murdered Hangfire, who is the ancestor of Nero, Remora's boss.
Part 2 Still to Come...

🌹
for every "🌹" received in my inbox i'll post one random sentence of a random WIP i'm currently writing
There's a current moratorium on facial mutilation in place at Goddard right now, at least for their particular circle, so Rachel settles for getting most of the latte to splash and burn on David's neck when she flings it at him.
#personal#answered#virginian-wolfsnake#pretty sure i don't know a single person who's in this fandom but i'm surprisingly far along in this one#also cuz it's either that or og work none of y'all understand/definitely some historical fiction i'm the only one that cares about

Tagged by @badtzbot (thank you ❤)
Rules: Go to your (current/main) AO3 account and find the following:
What ratings do you write most of your fics under?
T. I can't really write sex, alas, but I love making characters swear and drink alcohol, especially the latter (I suspect I'm sublimating my own wish to drink way more often than I actually do), and I feel like that's the most appropriate rating for that.
What are your top three fandoms?
ASOUE with 20 works, Dracula with 6, and Turn: Washington's Spies with 5. All statistics are going to be not quite accurate in my case though, because a lot of my fics are posted both in English and in Russian. So that's technically one story, but two works. For example, the 5 Turn fics in question are two fics in original Russian, the English translations of both of them, and a collection of my old fandom poems in which one poem is for Turn. (I am very much not translating poems into English because trying to make them rhyme would drive me insane). On the other hand, most of my ASOUE fics in Russian are posted as a single work, each chapter being a new short fic, but their English translations are posted as separate works. If I was posting both Russian and English versions separately, the number of my ASOUE works would've been even higher.
What is the top character you write about?
Lemony Snicket appears in 12 of my fics (counting stories, not works, i.e. not counting the original and the translation as separate stories). Fitting for the first-person narrator and a fucking legend.
What are your top three pairings?
I want everyone to know that this is the point at which I realized that I don't need to count all that manually because the list of my own works also has the same sorting and filtering menu as each fandom tag. I may be stupid. Anyway! Lemonberry ice is, of course, on top with 9 works, or 6 stories if we don't count the original and the translation separately. Next is Duchess R/Beatrice with 7 works, or 4 stories. The third relationship on the list is actually a platonic one - Duchess R & Lemony with 7 works/4 stories too. If "pairings" here are to mean romance only, then Smoker/Tashigi, Quincey/Jack, and Duchess R/Sally Sebald all are at 4 works/2 stories.
What are the top three additional tags?
Not trying to subtract originals and translations here - Pre-Canon (15), Post-Canon (15), and - see the first question - Alcohol (8), lol. Oh, and Canon-Typical Violence also has 8.
Does any of this surprise you?
No. Perhaps the only surprising part is that I've written two R/Sally fics? Neither of my stories in which they appear is centered on this ship, but it's there. I can't even say I ship them, it's just that they're among the few Sugar Bowl Generation characters who are likely to be still alive by the end of the series, so I like to give them a little happy ending together.
Tagging @patron-saints, @enchi-elm, @littlestsnicket, @tangentiallly, and @virginian-wolfsnake - if you want to do this, of course :)
#talk talk talk#about me#fandom things#god but that alcohol (8) thing is funny#so is the way i can almost never spell 'alcohol' correctly at first attempt#yes i have a BA in english philology. yes some english words just escape me every time. it happens

bertrand/ernest for the ship meme?
thank you! this is an excellent ask!
1. they both are *always* wondering if the other person would rather they were someone else (its not true though, neither of them interact with anyone else with quite the sort of honesty they show to each other (not that bertrand isn’t generally an honest person, he can just allow himself to be a worse version of himself around ernest (beatrice knows he has it in him and wouldn’t care but bertrand cares, he wants to be the best version of himself for her)))
2. i think this is vera’s head canon but they’re pan pals post schism. they send each other letters full of mundane things they wouldn’t bother anyone else with
3. bertrand wouldn’t hesitate to kill ernest if he thought it was necessary. ernest thinks killing bertrand is inherently not necessary. (but that has more to do with their views on morality and the schism than how they feel about each other specifically.)
(now i want to write fic for them delving into their relationship with vfd! probably too much of my brain is plotting witcher fic and i really really want to write two other asoue things first… but we’ll see)
