Me, a child, reading A Series Of Unfortunate Events and seeing that Duncan, Isadora, and Quigley Quagmire are meant to look eerily similar to one another: "Ah. Identical triplets."
Me, a teenager, learning about how genetics work and realizing that a boy and a girl cannot be identical twins/triplets/etc: "Nevermind. Fraternal triplets who just happen to look super similar."
Me now: "They are in fact identical and Isadora is trans"
there’s something about sibling relationships in asoue/atwq that is just,,, unique, for lack of a better word. or maybe wholesome. because most siblings in the snicketverse are like,,, in threes. the snickets. the baudelaires. the denouments. the quagmires. hell, even the white-faced women. it probably means something. i’m too tired too figure out what. it’s just something about them. like i could maybe analyse them tomorrow when i’ve had a good night’s sleep but for now have some of my ramblings.
I exist, in the missed steps of your way to self discipline.
In tragedy and inspiration
In broken tradition and consequence satisfaction.
I exist,
despite being stepped over and made to feel inferior.
A moment in time separating stillbirth from abortion
A choice, to be unidentified
Like a work of art that everyone claims to have its rights
Yet no one have the privilege to touch.
I exist, a simple fact that makes those who view the world cursorily uncomfortable;
and I refuse to apologize.
I exist, somewhere between the lines.
Something they’re not sharp enough to understand
I exist in lost credit cards and offhanded remarks
A puzzle with more pieces than they know where to place, but i can’t be solved with less
they said it’s high maintenance.
Yet I compartmentalize and I exist.
I exist in the journey of searching for answers to questions they never asked.
In never ending childlike wonder
In nameless hours, before tomorrow but not today.
I exist despite lacking confirmation I exist despite stigmatization.
I exist,
In petals that can only smell good when crushed and boiled..
In vivid dreams that we mistake for memories
I exist in idyllic poetry that tastes bitter if not read at the right time
A ripe fruit that’s forbidden
It’s never the right time to taste me but i still am the way you dream to be loved,
even when you know I have potential to be rotten.
More than a desire less than a demand
I can be yours to admire…
I’m not.
But i do, I exist.

After a good minute or two passed, Frank pointed at Petel and proudly proclaimed, "You're a wolf!"
Petel ended up grinning as well. "I'm a wolf."
"Who doesn't believe in shirts, apparently." Abraham grumbled, rolling his eyes.

Roland's Descent (L'Épine's The Legend of Croquemitaine) by Gustave Doré
“The earth shook & gaped at Roland’s feet. He felt himself launched into space .. He heard around him the flapping of wings; it was a troop of afreets & djins.”
