No, you don't understand. I'm sure. like, 100% sure that Miraak listens to The Amazing Devil, vibes with every track, and in his hours of scheming loneliness in Apocrypha, after stealing a dragon soul from the LDB, dedicates them the lyric "give me back my heart you wingless thing" and cries pathetically while Hermaeus Mora plays The Horror and the Wild on repeat, just to spite him.

a thing i noticed while rewatching asoue.
ok so. there's this consistent theme of count olaf not being able to work with other villains, right? and that was always implied to be because he's bad at teamwork (a traditional bad guy trait), and just kind of left at that.
BUT. HERE'S THE THING:
olaf being bad at teamwork makes perfect sense for his character. he's extremely self-centered, and never really had that "other people exist in the same way as me" realization that most people go through during their childhood. in other words, he completely lacks any sense of sonder, which is why he won't hesitate to leave someone the second they deviate from his plan.
but ohh no, that's not all.
see, another thing i noticed is that the reoccuring reason for other villains ditching olaf/olaf ditching other villains is a lack of understanding.
esmé and olaf never worked well together, because their motives were so different; esmé just wanted her sugar bowl back, meanwhile what olaf was seeking was much more complex: both a material good (the baudelaire fortune), but also a symbolic, indirect revenge on beatrice baudelaire for her involvement in his father's death. the reason the two couldn't work together was because they couldn't understand each other's perspectives.
it's even more interesting of a pattern when it comes to olaf and carmelita: in my head, it seems like olaf genuinely was reminded of a younger version of himself at first, but got irritated when she was too much like a younger version of himself (no experiance of the real word, spoiled rotten), from before his father died. in other words, a version of himself that was still in that place of privilege that he'd lost with his father. so olaf wasn't just annoyed with carmelita's entitlement, her presence and personality reminded him of what he'd lost and how that loss had changed him.
overall, i think a lot of olaf's actions have this theme of not having a lot, or having lost a lot. his house, his outfits, all of it indicates that at this point in his life, he's at his lowest. his dad's status implies he grew up in a place of privilege, but his life quickly went downhill afterwards.
i think that that's, to some degree, the reason he hates displays of wealth or wellness so much. even on a moral basis: he openly criticizes members of vfd for their perceived moral pureness or goody two shoes attitudes, because he sees it as dishonest. he's seen the bad side of vfd, and no longer has any sympathy for the "good" side. but beyond that, i think he envies their morality, since it's something he never had despite being raised the same way.
i also think that maybe olaf feels like he was never given a fair chance to do the right thing, since he was approached by the man with the beard but no hair and the woman with the hair but no beard right after his father's death, when he was emotionally vulnerable and easy to manipulate. he thinks that this means that he had no real choice, and is therefore not responsible for his actions.
but vfd members that have been through similar tragedies (the snicket siblings, larry, monty, josephine, etc) and still continue to do the right thing constantly remind olaf that the problem is his own nature (irresponsible, emotional, irrational, morally bankrupt) making him easy to manipulate, not just the circumstances of his life. their very existance proves that he had just as much of a fair chance as anyone else; that's why he hates them so much. he doesn't want to be responsible for his actions.
uhhh this got very off-track, and turned into me just analyzing count olaf's character, but oh well-

(A thought just occurred to me and now it has me in a chokehold.)
(I've seen a lot of different biological fankids for Shadow and Amy, and often, the colouration is somewhere within the spectrum of black, pink, and burgendy.)
(HOWEVER, and hear me out, red and pink make a mix akin to sunset/peach colours- really pretty oranges with pink or red undertones.)
(Do with that as you will.)

it's so weird wanting to make a magical girl story because honestly, I don't fuckin WATCH magical girl stories-
like sure I've watched SVTFOE but i stopped watching it after I got bored of it. i watched like an ep of that one Madoka show and then stopped when it was actually some horror show,,,,
i don't got a good track record of watching them, but honestly making one sounds super fun so LMAO
