THE TIME HAS COME TO TALK ABOUT JACQUES SNICKET AND OLIVIA CALIBAN, MY FRIENDS!
(Spoilers for ASOUE Netflix ahead and some book spoilers as well)
So I am absolutely loving these asks about [Netflix] Jacques and Olivia (Thank you so much, friends! 💖), but I feel bad for my anon-friends because I am sensing a sort of hesitant, nervous, making-sure-we-all-know-this-is-for-NETFLIX-Jacques x Olivia-so-this-ask-is-justified kind of energy which I can completely understand given the circumstances, however, I am the absolute last person who would ever, ever, a whole page of 'ever's judge anybody about this ship in particular. 😅 (Or maybe I'm off base here, and my anon-friends just really, really don't like the idea of Book Jacques x Book Olivia and want to be sure to differentiate? Which is a fair point too!)
Regardless, I feel it is time to come to come clean with you all about me, Jacques Snicket, and Olivia Caliban...
Jacques x Olivia was my ASOUE crackship before the Netflix series was released!
Maybe it was the drama™️ of it all? (A/N: Gotta love that sweet, sweet angst) Or this feeling I got while reading The Carnivorous Carnival that they had history maybe as good friends, maybe as something more, who knows? (A/N: It's the vibes) Maybe I took one (1) specific line from Olivia's whole 'confession' sequence in TCC, ran with it to the hinterlands of my mind and created an angsty betrayal subplot that had no business existing in the first place? (A/N: I did. I did do this. Pretty sure it was L.S.'s intention, right? Just kidding…) Whatever the reason (A/N: those are all the reasons, literally in the preceding sentences), I crack-shipped this for years prior to Netflix, and I will present the following texts from an exchange with my sister "Jackalope" (A/N: her nickname is a meme-y reference to ASOUE actually) as evidence that I was on board for this ship all the way back in the dark ages of February of 2018 when the trailer for Season 2 dropped...

(A/N: My sisters and I took these screenshots at the time & saved them as proof of this phenomenon so I was able to find them more easily that you might think 😅)
And well, my friends, (as I'm sure we all know), I am happy to say he did so much more than just sit in that car with her...
Tumblr media
(Image from Shipping Wiki which I didn't know was a thing until just now! Glad that Jacques x Olivia is included there 💕 Image brightened up/edited by me)
After both of my sisters teased me mercilessly about even entertaining the possibility of Jacques and Olivia as a crackship, I cannot express to you my utter joy and delight in watching their Netflix counterparts fall deeply in love and be given this incredible romance storyline! I was so blessed and so vindicated, and I literally screamed when the kiss happened. Meanwhile, my sisters were watching in total shock like "I can't believe you actually predicted this!" 😂 We literally had to pause the episode after the kiss because everyone in the room just needed a moment to collect themselves (myself included).
All of this said, I promise I really do see Netflix Jacques x Netflix Olivia as a completely separate relationship (which I do actually ship to the highest, OTP levels). I am happy to report, however, that though Book Jacques and Book Olivia will always be a total crackship, my sisters did eventually concede it to me and never teased me about it again. And that is just how the story goes, folks. 😁
[A/N: Other fun facts about me, my ASOUE Book Series OTP is Dewey/Kit so as you can imagine, the Netflix series was a very, very good time for me overall, but that is, perhaps, a story for another time...]
TL;DR: I am the real Madame Lulu, and my inbox is always open to discuss any and all iterations of the Jacques Snicket x Olivia Caliban ship no explanation or specifications needed. (A/N: Of course, if you'd like to specify, that is welcomed and up to you. Just letting you all know this ship will never need to be defended or justified to me. We're all friends here 💖). Cheers, associates! 😁

Okay, stupid challenge time; LIST THE DUMBEST headcannons you have for any characters in any of your fandoms (i.e; Hatchetverse/starkid, Club penguin, goosebumps, etc)
Thank you anon for this delightful challenge.
-There is a Hatchetfield timeline in which Ziggs's plan to get a bunch of dogs to chase away the weed birds actually happened. In this timeline, every dog in hatchetfield has telekinetic powers, but as Ziggs suspected, they are surprisingly chill. The worst they've done is get dog treats off the counter using their new abilities.
-Blinky and Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls once fistfought eachother while invading the subconscious of a human. There can be only one sadistic people-watching god with a B name in this mindscape.
-Those who possess the gift are subject to many dangers, we know that well.... but also, some forms of the gift make for a really authentic cosplay. There's a subsection of those with the gift who would much rather dress as their favorite superhero than fight as rich people watch.
-In Goosebumps, a curse is automatically placed upon everyone between the ages of ten and thirteen. This curse makes you 98% more likely to encounter a supernatural entity than at any other age.
-Furthermore; kids who do not experience the supernatural (or don't have a friend/relative/neighbor who did) are the supernatural entity. Looking at you, Hannah.
-In the movie universe, Curly and Slappy have a rivarly, due to both being Goosebumps mascots. Slappy doesn't actually care much about the rivalry, he just uses it as an excuse to cause mischief. Curly, on the other hand, will never forgive Slappy for replacing him, or for his constant "ribbing." Get it because- because he's a- he's a sk- he's a skele-
-The Sugar Bowl from A Series Of Unfortunate Events doesn't contain sugar, or a medusoid mycelium cure, or VFD secrets, or anything else that people have theorized. What it actually contains is that rootbeer float Lemony was looking for during All The Wrong Questions.
-The kids who attended Prufrock Preparatory school brag about how they met "the Baudelaire murderers." The stories they've told get more and more far fetched as time goes on, and the stories get passed down each year. Ten years from The Austere Academy, kids are talking about how Sunny Baudelaire once ate the gym coach's leg in front of the entire school. It's an awful, elongated game of telephone that will continue in Prufrock until the school inevitably gets shut down for its unethical rules.
-Herbert P. Bear from Club Penguin is in terrible debt. Building elaborate lairs and then abandoning them really eats into your wallet. He has yet to pay his debts and most likely never will.
-In addition to the headcanon above, Herbert does not pay his taxes. Who's gonna stop him? The EPF? They can't even arrest him for his several other crimes.
-Most disputes on the island are settled by dance battle. Disagreement about the property line between igloos? Dance battle. Divorce settlement? Dance battle. Tax evasion? Well, typically that's handled in the courts since it's not really a dispute, but since I know Herbert would absolutely hate it, we're settling it with a dance battle!
-If you cuss in the Club Penguin universe you instantly vanish from reality. All that's left behind is a giant floating orange sign that says "oops! You said a bad word! Your life account is now banned for: forever." That's why the alternative "grub" was cultivated, so penguins wouldn't have to worry about the hellish floating sign of doom.
So yep, those are some of my sillier headcanons. Enjoy!

As much as I love the ambiguous ending of a series of unfortunate events and unhappy endings, I think things turned out ok for the Baudelaires. Every book has 13 chapters, and even though the main problem of the book is resolved by the end of the book it just leads to more trouble with the next. However, the thirteenth book has 14 chapters, with the 14th being referred to as “book the 14th”. I interpret this as the Baudelaires breaking out of their unhappy cycle and finally being happy and safe

Unrelated to anything, but I think what was in the Sugar Bowl ultimately doesn’t matter. Maybe it mattered once, but now it’s just a symbol for people to continue fighting each other. What was in the Sugar Bowl isn’t important, what’s important is the never ending war that happened over it. By not telling the readers what is in the Sugar Bowl, the entire point of the story becomes clear, it never mattered, because nothing is as important as the lives lost in the fight over it. The point is to show how people fight, and refuse to stop, believing they are right above all else, both sides of the Schism are guilty of this.

i saw a tiktok where they stitched a video that asked “what is a red flag that isnt that bad but an ex had it” and they said something along the lines of “a tattoo of an eye on the inside of their left ankle because i cannot trust that they wont be count olaf again” and i cannot get over the implications that they dated count olaf

Haunting the Narrative Round 3 Side B
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Haunting the narrative means that the character’s absence heavily impacts the plot. They’re not present or active in the story when their influence is most strongly felt, whether they’re alive or dead!

Do you ever think about how Lemony and Bea II are essentially the sole survivors of the entirety of the series. Do you ever think about how Lemony is ultimately the one who haunts the narrative, not Beatrice. Beatrice was dead from the beginning…but so was everyone else. It’s Lemony who is stuck on the other side. It’s Lemony who is a ghost in this world…and other than Bea…completely alone.

The Toymaker putting the Master's consciousness in his tooth, that's so Count Olaf of him

Assigning each ASOUE book a TMA entity (+why)
*Also taking the Netflix show’s portrayal/atmosphere into account.
The Bad Beginning: Web 🕸️
The Baudelaires are beginning to realize that things have been going on behind the scenes that they can’t understand; they are almost completely trapped in Olaf’s scheme til Klaus finds a loophole.
The Reptile Room: Hunt 🦷
The Incredibly Deadly Viper is initially percieved as a threat, if short-lived, and the Baudelaires are surrounded by dangerous creatures. Simultaneously, this is the book in which they truly realize Olaf is determined to keep chasing them.
The Wide Window: Lonely ☁️
Imagery of a large, empty house in a grey, foggy lake setting combined with the theme of grief. They are also without their guardian for a while after she faked suicide and was temporarily presumed dead.
The Miserable Mill: Dark 🌑
The Baudelaires do not know what happened with their parents here; information is being hidden from them. Klaus’ vision is literally impaired at several points in the story due to his glasses being damaged, in addition to the mandatory nightly “lights out” immediately after dinner.
The Austere Academy: Slaughter🔪
Vice Principal Nero’s fixation on the violin provides frenzied music, a common theme of the slaughter. The children are collectively cruel to the Baudelaires via Carmelita’s leadership. They demonstrate moblike behavior at the pep rallies.
The Ersatz Elevator: Spiral 🌀
The penthouse has hundreds of rooms and corridors in which one can easily be lost; there are repeating patterns on walls and furniture as well as the children’s clothing. Proportions seem exaggerated, ie the scale of the house, the limo, Esmé’s hat and fur coat, etc. The elevator is a false door that acts as a deception. Esmé is the first character to convincingly lie to the Baudelaires, and the contradictory rules of the In/Out system are nonsensical and confusing. And, of course, there is literally a Red Herring at the auction.
The Vile Village: Buried ⚰️
The Baudelaires are, in a literal sense, in a dry and dusty desert village full of sand. In addition to this, Duncan and Isadora are trapped together in the cramped, dark space of the fountain for the bulk of the story. In a more figurative sense, the Baudelaires are also buried under extensive suffocating and restrictive laws.
The Hostile Hospital: Eye 👁️
Heimlich Hospital contained files of information on nearly every conceivable subject; a massive gathering of knowledge by a man who ironically has poor vision. Olaf keeps a constant watch through the security cameras, and when Klaus is being forced to operate on his sister, an entire theater is seeing him.
The Carnivorous Carnival: Flesh 🥩
While the “carnival freaks” are of course not actually examples of body horror and are just people with deformities, they are still viewed as such by audiences within the narrative. Additionally, Madame Lulu is literally eaten alive by lions.
The Slippery Slope: Vast 🌊
In this case, the Vast mainly refers to the sky and heights, though the ocean is incorporated at the very end leading into the Grim Grotto. Falling off the mountain is a constant background fear; Sunny’s cage is thrown off the edge, and we see Kit do her little falling-and-flying trick with the dragonfly wings.
The Grim Grotto: Corruption 🪰
I was tempted to put the Vast here, but honestly the ocean itself was more of a unusual setting than a legitimate source of fear. The major conflict of the story was the infection/contamination of the Medusoid Mycelium.
The Penultimate Peril: Stranger 🎭
The Baudelaires do not know whether they anyone are speaking with is trustworthy, especially Ernest vs. Dewey.
The End: Extinction 🏭
The island is partially covered in garbage and debris, and everyone there is poisoned by the Medusoid Mycelium and will presumably be wiped out.
*Honorable mentions to the Desolation (fire, suffering) the Lonely (very few believe or help) and the Hunt (Count Olaf’s constant pursuit) as overtones of the entire series.
