unpopular opinion but show olivia caliban is way less interesting as a character than book olivia caliban? like I already said before how the introduction of characters like jacquelyn, etc take away from the theme of the baudelaires’ self-determination, but making olivia a sweet, quirky librarian with only the best intentions was one of the few things the show did I personally disliked. I thought it was really interesting how she double-crossed both olaf and the baudelaires because of her desire to “give the people what they want,” and what that has to say thematically about morality and entertainment. I love the show ofc, and while I like its olivia as a character on her own, I don’t like her as an interpretation of the more conflicted character from the books.

To me, this is a compelling, brilliant scene. It's the turning point for both Lemony's character arc and the story.

Here, Lemony realizes that Hangfire is most certainly Armstrong Feint in disguise. This confronts him and us readers that the story is bound to end in tragedy. Until now, there was the possibility of a happy ending if the good guys only managed to defeat the bad guys. But Lemony was set up for failure from the beginning. No matter what he does next, there won't be a happy ending. The best thing he still can hope to achieve is to save the town and its children from Hangfire, but there will be no way to spare Ellington her suffering.

On a storytelling level, this marks the passing from a children's mystery series to a full-on, unapologetic tragedy. On a character level, this might be a key moment to understand Lemony and his entire generation of volunteer children, such as Kit, Dewey, Olaf, Beatrice, etc.

These children were kidnapped by VFD at a very young age. Many of them were also orphaned. They were isolated from people they knew and trained rigorously since day one. They had it drilled into them that their basic needs and emotions didn't matter and that they only existed to serve the greater good. In return, they got a notion of nobility: They were an aristocracy because their skills and sacrifices made them morally and intellectually superior to regular people. Being stripped of everything they had, these kids clung to those dreams of greatness.

But as they got older, they realized that their elders at VFD didn't live up to their own promises. They were incompetent, callous, and caught up in internal conflicts. So at the beginning of ATWQ, Lemony and his friends seemed to have come up with another notion to fix their emotional crisis. VFD may not be as great as it should be, but they would make it so. They would be overcome the older generation and save the organization and the world from evil. They were going to be heroes. Everything they had gone through would be worthwhile.

But here, Lemony is confronted with the horrible truth that destroys the coping mechanism he's relied on for so long. So now he has to choose to either accept that and be honest about his suspicion or go into complete denial. He chooses the latter. Up until the very last moment, he clings to the illusion that Armstrong may be innocent after all, that he may still save the day. He tries to solve the problem by killing Hangfire, thus going against the very principles that he's been preaching. At the end of ATWQ, he's just traumatized, running away mindlessly and living on the streets.

I think the other volunteers from his generation have to face similar disillusionments. As the schism worsens, some leave or turn against VFD, such as Olivia and Ernest. Others fight teeth and claws to recreate this quiet world utopia they have been raised to believe in. They resort to increasingly violent tactics that only worsen things, like the Volatile Fungus Deportation, the burning of Anwhistle Aquatics, or the murder at the opera. And so they die before their time, by each others' hands or their own poor decisions. They end up as just another failed generation that leaves their children a pile of debris and unanswered question, but also the hope to do better.

If Esmé didn't trust Olivia during the events of The Vile Village, what would have happened?

***N.B. This is a Netflix-Canon Theory - in future, I'll just use NCT, but I don't think I'll do [m]any book-canon theories, all the masters (@snicketstrange, @snicketsleuth, @thesnicketfile, etc.) have picked a lot of it apart, in INSANE-ly brilliant detail.***

This is a question that I have pondered for a while and, frankly, it's about time I made a theory for it.

Ok, time to focus.

In TVV, we see a desperate Olivia make a deal with a sugar-bowl-hungry Esmé to get out of jail. In fact, this is something that is done by many characters throughout the timeline of the series - it's the reason Beatrice and Bertrand Baudelaire stayed alive for so long.

The sugar bowl is undoubtedly a symbol of power, and a crystal-clear reflection of Lord Acton's (rather) famous quote:

Power/The Sugar Bowl corrupted the entire organisation! In the flashbacks of TPP, we see the start of the schism that will literally, figuratively, and a bit ironically, "burn V.F.D. to the ground".

The series gives us a Very Frank Description of why Esmé craves her beloved sugar bowl - "it completes [her] tea set".

So it makes complete sense for her to scream like a madwoman (well, to me at least) when Beatrice and Lemony (more or less) run off with it.

But if Esmé didn't trust Olivia during TVV, what would've happened? I think:

Everyone, the Baudelaires included, would still have ended up at Heimlich Hospital.

Esmé would've focused on helping Olaf (again) in trying to capture the Baudelaires (again).

The Baudelaires would NOT have found out that one of their parents may have been alive; Olaf, Esmé, and the troupe would've searched high and low for them, and would've found them at about the same time as they did in the show, if not, earlier.

Kit would've taken the sugar bowl to the V.F.D. HQ, in the Mortmain Mountains, in a storyline where the events of The Slippery Slope get brought forward to the end of The Hostile Hospital / the start of The Carnivorous Carnival - The Sinister Duo threaten Kit to hand over the sugar bowl, or they burn the V.F.D. HQ; she uses Beatrice's wings to fly, but The Duo burn the HQ down in addition to sending the eagles after her.

So, in short, nothing much. Well, as far as I can work out...

Jacques has a real problem of having only "yes man" as his non-VFD connections. And that goes to all versions of him!

.

Book Jacques: Buy that penthouse. And NEVER EVER EVER sell it to anyone.

Book Jerome: ... uh sure... why?

Book Jacques: No reason. Don't ask.

Book Jerome: okay. *buys the penthouse and doesn't ever sells or investigate it*

.

Netflix Jacques: Join my shady secret organization.

Netflix Olivia: Okay. I did read a book about it after all.

#he may not be able to control his sibblings #but he can order his friends/love interests around very easy because jerome is a doormat and olivia is just happy to be here #Jacques Snicket #jerome squalor #olivia caliban #netflix olivia caliban #asoue #a series of unfortunate events

Hi! I saw your comment, and I will definitely be checking out your blog!! :))) Are there any fics you would reccomend starting with? (They can be about anything haha)

Also omg a fellow Loveless and Radio Silence fan yayyy :D

Hi! Thanks for the ask!! :) (it’s good finding another fan!) Here are some of the fics I’ve read that I recommend starting with! :)

Summary: "Olivia?"

She looks up in surprise, "Sorry, is everything alright?"

"Yes, better than alright! But... are you okay?"

"I'm okay," she smiles fondly, "Promise,"

She is okay. Her wounds have healed, and without them, she might never have escaped that organization with her fiancée, never met these children, her children, never to be snatched away again. They had been burned down to their lowest, until they built each other back up from the ground. And she would do it all over again, if it meant to be where she was now.

Or

Jacquelyn, Olivia, and the Quagmires get the home that they deserve.
