[afterthegreatunknown]

hector never held fernald as fully responsible for the anwhistle aquatic fire + gregor's death. hector understands that as a child (teenager by fernald's insistence), fernald was manipulated into being an accomplice of being the way into anwhistle aquatic, and his role got out of control very quickly due to the failures of the adults (his stepfather, his mother) who were suppose to keep fernald out of it.

but the fact remains by the present itself, fernald is not the kid who was manipulated into being an accessory to crime. fernald is a former criminal feared due to his sharp hooks who took pride in his 'work', like kidnapping and murder and arson. fernald willingly ruined and made lives miserable. lives like the baudelaires and the quagmires.

while fernald is now retired from being a criminal, wanting to start anew with his sister (and stepfather, but that's a touchy thing fernald denies due to the complications of their relationship) by double-crossing the firestarters and olaf...

it doesn't forgive fernald's past crimes. his crimes aren't forgotten, nor forgiven, and the quagmires make that very clear, especially duncan and isadora. the three 'accepted' that while fernald is their travel companion (as well as his sister and his stepfather), they are also under no obligation to be polite and civil to him. they don't even call fernald by his name; just the name they know him by.

the quagmires are all passive-aggressive to fernald; quigley is more passive than aggressive, being 'cold' and willing to ignore fernald, but does attempt small talk when fiona and widdershins are around. duncan and isadora are more aggressive than passive; they glare at him at random, tells fernald to shut up if he's trying to take part in a conversation with any of them, as well as occasionally poking him up with sticks they found (which is an improvement compare to beating him up with sticks).

hector knows he should get the quagmires, especially duncan and isadora, to stop. to prevent an escalation that would likely have fiona and widdershins upset and angry and worry for fernald. to keep the tensions of the group at low as possible, hector needs to get the quagmires to tame their rightful dislike for fernald.

but hector knows that he can't. if hector tries hard enough, he can recall the boy that watches hector and widdershins (even before the man was fernald's stepfather) and others in their activities, making comments that occasionally get on their nerves or a laugh. hector can recall the boy who would curse and look embarrass, before getting told he's free to curse as long as his mother or little kids aren't present. hector can faintly recall fond memories of fernald the boy.

and that's why hector can't stop the quagmires. hector can only recall, and not even completely. fernald the boy is a distant memory to hector. fernald the boy in a way, no longer exist.

the fernald who hector knows now is just the hook-handed man.

Even More ASOUE Characters (Still The Adults)

And the Beatles Songs I Can't Help But Associate Them With, Part Two.

Montgomery 'Monty' Montgomery, Penny Lane (~Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs/Of every head he's had the pleasure to know/And all the people that come and go/Stop and say, "Hello"~)

Josephine Anwhistle, Octopus's Garden (~We would be so happy you and me/No one there to tell us what to do/I'd like to be under the sea/In an octopus' garden with you~)

Isaac 'Ike' Anwhistle, Here Comes the Sun (~Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces/Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here~)

Gregor Anwhistle, Strawberry Fields Forever (~Let me take you down/'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields/Nothing is real/And nothing to get hung about/Strawberry Fields Forever~)

Hector, Blackbird (~Blackbird singing in the dead of night/Take these broken wings and learn to fly/All your life/You were only waiting for this moment to arise~)

Madame Lulu, Tomorrow Never Knows (~Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream/It is not dying, it is not dying/Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void/It is shining, it is shining~)

Olivia Caliban, I'm Only Sleeping (~Keeping an eye on the world going by my window/Taking my time/Lying there and staring at the ceiling/Waiting for a sleepy feeling~)

R the Duchess of Winnipeg, Boys^ as cover by The Beatles [~My girl says when I kiss her lips/Get a thrill through her fingertips] + I Want to Hold Your Hand* (~Oh please, say to me/You'll let me be your man/And please, say to me/You'll let me hold your hand/You'll let me hold your hand/I want to hold your hand~)

^Originally a song by The Shirelles about how a girl feels about boys, I picked the cover version for R because given the irony about a man (Ringo, who sings the cover) singing about boys, I feel there's more irony by associating the cover with R, an implied canon lesbian, by changing the context of the cover: a woman who loves women 'singing' about the boys her lover dated/kissed before.

*Given that a cover version of I Want to Hold Your Hand appears in the movie Across the Universe (2007) with change of context being about a female's singer unrequited love for her female friend who is straight, I couldn't help myself but associate the song with R.

Captain Widdershins, The Fool on the Hill (~Day after day/Alone on a hill/The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still/But nobody wants to know him/They can see that he's just a fool/And he never gives an answer~) + (~But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down/And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round~)

Fernald, Hey Jude (~And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain/Don't carry the world upon your shoulders/For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool/By making his world a little colder) + (~Hey Jude, don't make it bad/Take a sad song and make it better/Remember to let her under your skin/Then you'll begin to make it/Better, better, better, better, better, better, oh!~)

near dark (1987) but make it asoue

@carnivorous-horses-lover first of all, thank you for enabling me

Secondly, imagine, if you will, a small-town young man who works at his stepfather's farm. The young man's name is Fernald, and his life is pretty miserable - his attempt at an acting career in the City failed, forcing him to return to his hometown, and now he's stuck in a routine he doesn't enjoy. His relationship with his stepfather Widdershins isn't great - in part, probably, because his stepfather is a pretty miserable man too, a former sea captain now bound to live on land after sustaining injuries that made him unfit for life at sea. Nearly the only bright spot for Fernald is his teenage sister, Fiona - she's talented and smart, and surely won't become a failure like him.

One evening, as Fernald is getting drunk at the bar after a particularly angry row with his stepfather, he meets a cute and charming person called Orlando (I think this name would fit in fine in this AU - iirc, Sunny refers to the Henchperson like that at some point either in the books or in the series, and Virginia Woolf's Orlando is able to live for centuries without growing old). They hit it off right away, and damn, this might be the drink talking, but Fernald feels like he's falling in love. At the end of the night, just before sunrise, as Orlando is about to leave, he kisses them.

And then Orlando bites him. Bites him and sucks his blood.

After that, Orlando runs away without explanation, so at first, Fernald doesn't understand what has happened to him. But then the rising sun starts burning his flesh. As he's trying to hide in the shade, an RV drives up, and Orlando pulls him in. Inside, he finds a group of people all screaming at Orlando that they should kill Fernald, but then Orlando tells them that they've already turned him, and, after some discussion, the strangers inform him that they'll let him live - for now. Fernald learns that his new acquaintances are a band of vampires who roam the Land of Districts under the guise of a travelling acting troupe. The band is led by Count Olaf, a man claiming to have been an 18th century nobleman. Apart from him and Orlando, there's Olaf's girlfriend Esme, a Bald Man, two White-Faced Women, and Carmelita, a tween girl recently turned by Esme when the latter decided she wanted a daughter. They travel from town to town, kill people to feed, and occasionally steal a new vehicle and burn the old one to cover up their tracks.

The Count and the others tell Fernald that they're going to give him a probational period of sorts - he gets a week to learn to hunt, and if he doesn't, they're going to get rid of him. The problem is, Fernald can't make himself kill people. His thirst is strong and he can feel his organism starting to reject human food, but he cannot overcome his fear and disgust. Orlando helps him by hunting for him and feeding him their blood after they have fed themselves, but they tell him this cannot go on, and Fernald knows that eventually he has either to become a murderer or be murdered. In the Village of Fowl Devotees, where the vampires attack a bar, he fails to kill a local handyman and lets him escape. Everyone but Orlando is furious and wants to kill him, but then the police arrive, and Fernald risks his life to help the rest of the group escape. This pacifies the vampires, and they decide to give him more time to adjust.

Meanwhile, Widdershins and Fiona follow the trail of the vampires' rampage from town to town, hoping to catch up with Fernald and see if he can still be saved. They meet the handyman, Hector, who has seen which direction the vampires drove off to. After driving all day, they decide to stay at a motel, not knowing that Olaf's troupe is also staying there. At some point, while Widdershins isn't present, Fiona goes out of their room and runs into Carmelita. They strike a conversation, and Carmelita, happy to finally have someone her age to talk to, invites Fiona to their room. When Fiona sees her brother, she is overjoyed, but he immediately gets worried and tells her to leave. It is, however, too late: Carmelita wants a friend, and even though Olaf hates the idea, Esme is still fond enough of her toy - pardon, her child - to indulge her whims.

Luckily, Widdershins arrives and threatens the vampires with a gun. A scuffle ensures, and the whole family, including Fernald, manages to escape. For some reason, Widdershins is sure that a blood transfusion might help Fernald revert to human state. They try it, and it works.

The family returns home and wards the house against vampires ("but Stepfather, how do you even know all these things?" - "don't worry about it"), yet it turns out they've been followed. At night, Orlando comes and persuades Fernald to go out and talk to them. They try to convince Fernald to let them bite him again and go back with them, but eventually, unable to lie anymore, they break down and reveal that the other vampires made them distract him. Turns out that while they were talking, Olaf's troupe somehow broke through the protection of the house. Fernald discovers that his stepfather is grievously wounded and his sister is gone. Widdershins tells him that the vampires took Fiona away and urges Fernald to follow them. Fernald calls the ambulance for his stepfather and leaves to chase the troupe, who have by then picked up Orlando and driven away. He is attacked by the Bald Man and the White-Faced Women, but manages to defeat them.

Orlando, who is genuinely in love with Fernald, decides to risk incurring Olaf and Esme's wrath and help Fiona escape. Together they break out of the car and run towards Fernald. The sun is rising, and Orlando has to cover themselves with a jacket, because the sun keeps burning them. Furious Olaf and Esme, with Carmelita in the backseat, pursue them and attempt to run them over with their car. Fernald manages to push Fiona and Orlando away, but the car crashes into him, and he passes out.

He regains consciousness in the same small - and, honestly, shady-looking - hospital where his blood transfusion was performed. He is aching all over, and one of his hands has been amputated, but he's alive. Fiona is there, and so is his father, bruised but still standing - and Orlando, who has also been cured by a blood transfusion. Another person present, strangely, is the handyman from the Village of Fowl Devotees. He tells them that the car with the vampires exploded in the crash, but no human remains were found when the fire was extinguished. Perhaps they burned to ashes completely. Perhaps not.

Okay, says Fernald, what the hell. Why are you here? How did Stepfather know that the blood transfusions would help? What kind of hospital is this?

Widdershins and Hector share an awkward glance.

There used to be an... organization some years ago, they tell him. An organization created to battle supernatural threats. It was founded long ago by people privy to the secrets of the world. But it has been dying out for decades, and their generation was the last. Too many died, too many quit out of fear (Hector looks away, embarrassed), too many were seduced by the occult and joined the other side. But the few still remain - the ones who don't seek out the enemy actively, but still remember how to fight against it.

They call themselves volunteers.

And it seems no one can hide from what one is forever.

#the ending is kinda... nothing of that sort happens in the movie but i wanted this to have its own version of vfd #and it could probably be integrated more smoothly but i can't think of anything better at the moment #anyway! near dark! a good vampire road movie. highly recommend #asoue #a series of unfortunate events #fernald widdershins #captain widdershins #fiona widdershins #hector #henchperson of indeterminate gender #count olaf #esme squalor #carmelita spats #gella talks snicketverse #talk talk talk #snicketverse

quagmire triplets + hector and the widdershins family and what they do/what happens to them when at the (indoor) shopping center mall in a nearby city (first year of living together when things are mostly calm):

duncan: browse a music store and reorganizes the vinyl records, cassettes, and cds by year release, not band or artist

isadora: goes to the claire’s and buys herself a few pairs of clip-on earrings because she’s not allow to pierce her ears yet

quigley: makes his own hand-drawn map of the mall because he brought his commonplace book with him on in the trip

fiona: gets perfume spray on her whenever walking pass a perfume/make-up kiosk and always enter a sneezing fit as result

fernald: a security guard nearly throws him out and avoids said throwing out after proving himself as non-threatening

hector: complains about how the mexican food offer at the food court isn’t very authentic, but still eats it because he’s hungry

widdershins: constantly stares at the mall’s many fountains as if he’s thinking about taking the coins thrown in there

so like. as much as I’m loving netflix asoue, I’m kinda iffy on a lot of the new/expanded adult characters who help the baudelaires, like jacquelyn, etc. like they’re cool and all and fun to watch, and I know they’re fan favorites, but a big part of the books was the baudelaires learning self reliance because all the adults around them were either well-intentioned but incredibly flawed to the point where they unintentionally harmed the baudelaires (like jerome, mr. poe, justice strauss, hector, etc), or actively malicious, like olaf and esme. I like the expansions on a lot of the characters- monty, josephine, sir and charles, and ofc the henchpeople- but I’m not sure what to think about the more competent adults with regards to how they help the baudelaires. I feel like the vfd stuff being introduced early on is somewhat understandable, given handler initially only planned to write the first four books, so having the full story planned out allows for more foreshadowing, but I also kind of wish the pacing there was a bit slower.

really liking the series so far tho!

the craziness of lemony in atwq telling hector and josephine of the events that went down in atwq 1 and atwq 3, which includes bringing up ellington fient. their responses of ellington feint is along the lines of not trusting her (almost disliking her), despite not meeting her.

the craziness of lemony in atwq telling widdershins of the events that went down in atwq 2 and excludes ellington feint, only telling him of hangfire and his still not yet done treachery. in fact, the omission of ellington feint makes it seems as if she doesn’t even exist.

there’s something about this detail, but what i don’t know.
