no book series does a visual aesthetic quite like a series of unfortunate events and miss peregrine's home for peculiar children do

if you like doomed siblings who only have eachother watch/read asoue. rant underneath the cut
- you dont have to wait for it to get good because it immediately gets to the point
- there are books so if you prefer reading over watching theyre fucking amazing, i read the shit out of them when younger and can confirm that they are still the best book series ive ever read
- speaking of which the book covers are beautiful, which obviously isnt mandatory for a good book but just LOOK AT THEM!! (theres more than this but these r my personal favorites..)

- theres not a bunch of romance so if ur romance repulsed or just dont like that stuff u dont have to really worry about that
- kids who are intelligent and not in the stereotypical "oh this guy is annoying" type of way (this was my favorite thing about asoue growing up because im audhd and seeing main characters around my age that were like me made me feel more seen and less alone)
- really funny disguises. not going to spoil it but just really funny disguises
- heavily coded + canon queer characters
- idk if this is the case for everyone, but if ur in an abusive/toxic home it helped/helps me distract myself and focus on the characters problems instead of getting absorbed in mine. also helped me get out of the mindset that i have it worse than everyone else
- banger intro (in my opinion, apparently some people hate it but younger me was singing that shit LOUD)
- MORALLY GREY CHARACTERS!! god i love morally grey characters
its genuinely SOOO good, both the show and books. i dont recommend the movie but some people like it.. if u watch it and enjoy it u should send me an ask about why u liked it because i personally dont see the appeal but im open to opinions!! :3

things i think about CONSTANTLY:
daniel handler said that everyone in a series of unfortunate events and the surrounding universe is jewish "unless stated otherwise"
the only time it could possibly have been considered "stated otherwise" is in the netflix tvv, when poe and his wife mention being the only kids in their class without b'nei mitzvahs
literally the only non-jewish characters in this series are the bankers
daniel handler is the funniest man alive

still so charmed by that time i picked up a series of unfortunate events as a kid and the back was like IF YOU WANT A HAPPY STORY THIS IS NOT THE ONE FOR YOU… YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED… PUT IT DOWN AND PICK UP ANOTHER BOOK… and so i, wanting a happy story, simply put it down and picked up another book

UNRELIABLE NARRATORS; FINALS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eugenides Propaganda:
the entire plot hinges on a detail he lets the reader (and every other character) assume is true. I don't want to spoil it because it's a really fun reveal but he is lying from the first second he appears on the page and you can't trust him to tell the full truth about ANYTHING related to himself and his goals. he mostly does it to keep his advantage and not have other characters be suspicious of him but it's just so fun when you realise he's been lying the whole time
Lemony Snicket Propaganda:
(I would like to preface this by saying that Lemony Snicket is the author's pen name, not a real person, and he exists as a character in-universe as well as being the one in-universe who writes the books!) I'd say he's unreliable because he spent time collecting information about the Baudelaire kids and then... wrote books about it. He has no idea what any of their dialogue actually was, what they were thinking, or even the whole plot, he's just doing research into the incidents and then filling in the gaps to make it a story. What ACTUALLY happened to the Baudelaires? Nobody really knows for sure
While the Baudelaire siblings are in potentially life threatening danger, he will randomly start talking about his own life and just leave the siblings hanging. For example, once Count Olaf was threatening to kill Violet, and then Lemony randomly began talking about how he met the love of his life at a costume party. This man CANNOT stay on topic. Usually when a new character is introduced, Lemony tells us right at the start that they’re either going to die or that the Baudelaire siblings will never see them again. Foreshadowing is not subtle in these books. CONSTANTLY emphasizes how miserable he feels while writing these books. At one point he admits that he had to put his pencil down and go cry for a while because of how sad it made him. Once he filled an entire page with nothing but the word “ever” to emphasize how dangerous it is to put forks in electrical outlets. He also repeated a paragraph about deja vu later on in the book to give the reader deja vu.
