Hidden Biblical Allusion in ASOUE

The subject of Biblical Allusions in ASOUE has been a very controversial one. It is the reason the series has been banned in some places, and it's the main reason for the series' criticism.

There are some very clear Biblical parallels in ASOUE, e.g. The Baudelaires receiving an apple from Ink in The End (alluding to Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden).

However, there is something that has caught my attention - 3 characters in particular - Ike Anwhistle, Ishamel and Jacob Snicket.

Ike's full name is Isaac, giving:

Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob

Which are the names of 3 Biblical characters.

Ishmael and Isaac were half-brothers and Jacob was Isaac's younger son - but they all stem from Abraham.

But how does this fit into ASOUE?

Well, in the Bible, the age order is:

Ish > Ike > Jake

But in ASOUE, it's:

Jake >= Ish > Ike

However, if we consider the numerous clear allusions to the Bible throughout the series, we could also interpret this as saying:

The Anwhistles, Snickets and Ishmael are RELATED to each other.

Of course, given the family tree in LSTUA, we see that most members of V.F.D. have some ludicrous connection to each other, but my theory is their genealogy is CLOSER to each other's than everyone else in the organisation.

This is why, in book canon, there is a CHANCE (albeit very slim) that Josephine MAYBE survives.

Also, thinking about this has led me to think of other things:

If Ishmael doesn't have a last name, and readers don't know what Bertrand's surname was (before he married Beatrice)...

Is Ishmael Bertrand's grandfather?

This would explain his overtaking of The Island - he may THINK Bertrand is far too child-like and irresponsible, and is unaware of the dangers of the world, allowing him to act 'in loco parentis' to Bertrand.

It's possible, but it's also just an idea.

Maybe I've gone to Very Far Distances with this one...

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!~)

Careful Girl

(AO3 link is here.)

Every day, Josephine’s internal alarm clock wakes her up at six o’ clock. Monday through Friday, and on the occasional Saturday. Josephine sets her actual alarm clock set up to wake her up ten minutes after six as a failsafe, though she always wakes up before it gets the chance to do so. On Sundays, and the occasional Saturday, Josephine turns off her alarm clock to catch some extra sleep. However, her body gotten use to waking up early, so Josephine never gets the chance to do so.

It's rare for Josephine to find herself waking up before six o’ clock. This Saturday though, Josephine found herself waking up at four-thirty with an empty stomach that couldn’t be ignore. What does someone do regarding an empty stomach?

Get something to eat, of course, and Josephine is doing just that. Josephine is quietly traversing the hallways to get to the kitchen. Most of the adults stationed at the City’s Headquarter arrive at six o’ clock. Some though, like the cafeteria staff, tend to arrive between five and five-thirty to prepare breakfast, before moving onto lunch and dinner.

As Josephine makes one more turn, she thinks about what snack she’ll be making. She thinks about two slices of toast rubbed over by tomatoes, drizzle it with olive oil, sprinkle on some salt and pepper, and top off with anchovies. It’s a snack Josephine can somewhat recall her mother making, sometimes without the anchovies when guests arrived to their home.

Josephine really likes it with the anchovies.

Josephine continues to walk down the hallway that will lead to the kitchen directly, she plans on also stealing a few dried fruit packets for Olivia, her dormmate. Olivia, unlike Josephine, never got her weekend free time privileges for the week. That means Olivia, like several other students, has to attend the full half-school day.

Weekend free time privileges determines if a student will get out of the half-school day early, or get the whole day off. Losing those privileges is different than never getting them. Losing them means having to attend a regular full day of school and getting assigned extra homework. Never getting them means you endure the regular half-school day.

Josephine is lucky with her privileges, for she always gets the whole day off. Olivia normally gets the same deal too. At least until this week. Josephine as such plans on stealing Olivia the dried fruit packets, for lunch is pushed back from twelve to one on Saturdays.

“Maybe I’ll get Olivia the dried fruit packets with the cantaloupe,” says Josephine, opening one the metal double doors to the kitchen. “Olivia loves cantaloupe. But would she—”

Josephine finds herself going quiet upon entering the kitchen, with the onset of panic rising through her body. There in the kitchen, is Hector A. (full surname unknown), and Isaac ‘Ike’ Anwhistle. Ike is standing right beside the counter, holding a bag of open tortilla chips. He’s mid-way pouring them into one of two bowls meant for soup.

Hector is also standing right beside the counter. Hector however, is holding a sharp metal knife, hovering it over a big circular block of white cheese. He’s holding a sharp metal knife even she can’t use, despite being thirteen-years-old and thus moved on from children’s cooking tools.

“Put. The knife. Down.” Josephine speaks with clear emphasis on what she wants Hector to do.

Hector does just that. He puts the knife down on the counter, though he doesn’t look happy about it. Ike however, is oblivious to Hector’s dismay, as well as Josephine’s own worry and frustration. Ike stops his pouring and smiles and wave at her.

“Good morning, Josephine! It’s good to see you awake!” Ike briefly glances at the soup bowls and then back at her. “Would you like some bootleg chilaquiles for breakfast?”

Josephine blinks a few times. “…Bootleg chilaquiles?”

“Yes! Bootleg chilaquiles!” Ike shakes his head as he speaks, still smiling. “Do you know what chilaquiles is?”

“No.”

“Chilaquiles is a Mexican breakfast dish that is made from corn tortillas cut into quarters and then fried or baked,” says Hector. “It’s then poured over by green or red sauce, depending on the person’s preference, and topped over with crema, queso fresco, sliced onion, and avocado slices. You can also put an egg or shredded chicken over it, if you want.”

“You’re using tortilla chips though,” replies Josephine.

“That’s why it’s bootleg chilaquiles, Josephine!” Ike continues to pour the bag of tortilla chips into the soup bowl, before moving onto the second bowl. “Hector and I can’t use the stove and fry anything, and we don’t know how to work an oven. We discovered that tortilla chips make a good substitute!”

“You know you’re using bootleg wrong, right?”

“Oh yes,” answers Ike, nodding his head. “I just think it has a nice sound to it.”

Josephine couldn’t help but nod her head in agreement. “It does, actually. Well, I’m glad to know you’re not using the stove or oven for your bootleg chilaquiles, but I’m still concern. Hector was cutting into cheese with a sharp metal knife meant for adults. Why not use pre-shredded mozzarella, or any other pre-shredded cheese available? It’s better than shredding your own with a hand grater and risk cutting your fingers.”

“This isn’t the first time I used an adult knife in preparing food,” says Hector, picking up the knife once again. He then carefully cuts into the block of cheese, cutting out three wedges of uneven proportions. “And pre-shredded mozzarella, and any other pre-shredded cheese for that matter, doesn’t taste the same as using queso fresco. Using the real thing is more better.”

“You mean ‘much better’ Hector,” corrects Josephine, now curious about the block of cheese itself. “Are you saying that is queso fresco?”

“It is!” Ike sets down the bag of tortilla chips onto the counter —behind the bowls — and grabs a nearby paper towel roll. He tears off a sheet, and walks over to Hector, picking up the biggest wedge out of the three. Ike then walks over to Josephine, and gives her it.

“You should try it,” says Ike, “at least once.”

Josephine stares at the white wedge of cheese in the paper towel, then at Ike, and then back at the cheese again. Josephine soon shrugs her shoulders, and quickly pops the whole wedge into her mouth. It’s a big wedge, but it’s one she can eat in one bite and in a few chews.

The cheese, like many other cheeses kept in the refrigerator, is cold. The cheese is also soft and moist. It’s soft and moist unlike any other cheese Josephine ate before. To say it melts in her mouth is wrong, but Josephine thinks there’s a crumbly texture to it that makes it seems it’s melting in her mouth. She chews a bit more, and then swallow the cheese. Josephine now understands why Hector would want to use queso fresco instead of pre-shredded cheeses.

“That is pretty good cheese,” says Josephine. “Where you get it from? I doubt the City’s Headquarters would have queso fresco as an ingredient on hand.”

“Not typically,” answers Hector. “Headquarters also doesn’t have tortilla chips lying around either, as well as salsas. The meeting the adults had last week in auditorium apparently served food though. Food offered at the meeting included tortilla chips, salsas, and queso fresco. I suspect the last one was used for a cheese platter of sorts.”

“So, Josephine,” says Ike. “Do you want some bootleg chilaquiles?”

“I don’t see the harm of trying it,” says Josephine. “It’s not every day you get to try something new to eat.”

Family Tree Headcanons

I’m the kind of person who often holds multiple contradictory headcanons because I like exploring possibilities. Within the space of this blog, I use headcanons for some internal consistency, but even so, I treat threads as independent and may play with different headcanons thread to thread. That being said, I wanted to lay out a ‘default’ for this blog/my own writing regarding the Snicket family tree.

ABC Generation The family tree starts here. This could mean C was the first Snicket to join VFD, much as R was the latest in a long line of duchesses, but was the first VFD member. But Lemony mentions in EE that he learned the code from his grandfather, who learned it in turn for at least four generations (two grandfathers) back. And the map of the city which includes “sketches of costumes” and VFD tunnels, has had “twelve previous owners”. Whether or not it was formally VFD, Snickets have been involved in codes and conspiracies for way before ABC. 

I personally headcanon ABC as brothers, possibly identical triplets (similar to the Denouements. Twins/triplets skips a generation and re-appears in Jacques and Kit). Charles’ name is canonically known. In previous threads I’ve used Aaron as E’s uncle and I might stick with that. Though I also like Abraham for its literal meaning (”father of many” as the eldest of this massive Snicket clan) and for the VFD parallels of the story of Abraham and Isaac, as a father willing to sacrifice his son on faith. B I headcanon as Benjamin. The reason his whereabouts are uninteresting is he never joined VFD. He was just never interested. Benjamin Snicket lived out his life having a normal, mundane job like being a florist or something and never got caught up in the codes and plots his brothers were into. 

DEF Generation I’ve personally established F as Fiona in a thread before and I’m sticking to that. I like the idea of Fiona Widdershins being named after someone two generations earlier. E, is of course, the Snicket mother. I’ve been personally calling her Esther in my head but I’m not locked in on that. I do accept the common fanon that D is the parent of the Anwhistle brothers (see below) with one eyebrow and ear. However, I will typically not be following the other common theory that this is also Ishmael’s student. Ishmael’s student was orphaned, and C lived long enough to meet and teach Lemony and Kit. Personal headcanon name: Delilah.

GHI Trio I will be following common fanon that  G and I are Gregor and Ike Anwhistle, taking their last name from their (unnamed) father. This does mean that Gregor and Ike are first cousins to Jacques, Kit and Lemony. VFD families are often interconnected. Some people theorize H is Hector, who is a VFD member. But Hector’s interactions with the Snickets in both VV and WCTBATH? don’t really fit a ‘first cousins’ vibe for me. There are enough repeated initials in VFD to go around. No locked in name (Heather? Hailey?). Tempted to say H is named Helvella after a family of mushrooms.

Connection to Beatrice It’s mentioned in the Wide Window that Ike is also Beatrice’s cousin, and whistling is a family trait. There is a way for this to be true without Lemony and Beatrice being related, if Beatrice is Ike’s cousin on his father’s side of the family. This, again, gives a neat way for the Baudelaire family to get involved in VFD and repeates the motif of layered VFD families. Betrand (as stated by Poe in TPP) was an orphan, so might have taken on the Baudelaire family name, as Jacob did for the Snickets. This does mean Lemony and Beatrice, while themselves unrelated, would share cousins. (It makes me think of stories where sets of sisters marry sets of brothers).

JKL Jacques, Kit and Lemony. The classic Snickets. Firmly established in canon.

MNO I do not think O is Olaf, it does not make sense given how the characters interact and talk about one another for him to be cousins with JKL. M and O being Miranda and Olivia Caliban is more plausible (definitely not in TV-based threads where J and O are a couple) but even in book verse I don’t think there’s any indication Lemony and Jacques interact with O in a familial way. This is something I might use in a thread-by-thread basis, but as a rule of thumb MNO will be different characters.

the anwhistles:

the beloved ike

And none of the Baudelaires would ever meet some of the organization's most beloved volunteers, including the mechanical instructor C. M. Kornbluth, and Dr. Isaac Anwhistle, whom everyone called Ike, and the brave volunteer who tossed the sugar bowl out the kitchen window so it would not be destroyed in the blaze, and watched it float away on one of the tributaries of the Stricken Stream.

-- lemony snicket’s narration

the volatile gregor

The poisonous fungus you insist on cultivating in the grotto will bring grim consequences for all of us. Our factory at Lousy Lane can provide some dilution of the mycelium's destructive respiratory capabilities, and you assure me that the mycelium grows best in small, enclosed spaces, but this is of little comfort. One mistake, Gregor, and your entire facility would have to be abandoned. Please, do not become the thing you dread most by adopting the destructive tactic of our most villainous enemies: playing with fire.

Hi! Love the blog, really helps with some confusing bits. I was wondering, and I know you spoke about this a little in another post, but could VFD be trying to train the Lachrymose Leeches?In chapter 2 of Who Could It Be At This Hour, Lemony mentions that leeches were impossible to train. Could this be some kind of connection or just me trying to look for clues even though they aren't there? Thanks a lot!

Hello, @o-with-a-taku! Glad you like the blog, thank you very much!

I believe your theory is correct, it’s definitely an allusion to the Lachrymose Leeches.

“Thatis exactly what I’m talking about,” Theodora said sternly, and quickly ran herfingers through her hair in an attempt to tame it. It was impossible to tame,like leeches.[Who Could That Be At This Hour?, Chapter Two]

V.F.D. has an history of trying to tame animals they come across for spying purposes. I don’t see why the leeches would be any different.

What confirms this is a passage in “The Beatrice Letters” where Lemony mentions getting a paperweight from Isaac “Ike” Anwhistle as a graduation gift (LS to BB #3). We later see Beatrice examining this paperweight (BB to LS #2) and it pretty clearly represents a Lachrymose Leech. Given that Lemony went to V.F.D. school, it’s pretty clear the organization kept an interest in these animals for quite some time, even after the events depicted in “All The Wrong Questions”.

It’s also been theorised that Hangfire used Lachrymose Leeches to recreate the legendary Bombinating Beast, though it could be some sort of transgenetic hybrid. Lemony describes the baby Bombinating Beasts which bite him as “tadpoles”. While some tadpoles have teeth (’tadpole” refers to the young form of any amphibian), it would make much more sense if they were leeches, hungry for blood.

The paperweight in “The Beatrice Letters” is in the shape of an “S”, but it could also be seen as a question mark. Both these shapes are associated with the Great Unknown, Ellington’s eyebrows, Stain’d-by-the-sea and the Bombinating Beast. So it’s possible there’s a hidden connection Daniel Handler intended to highlight. Maybe V.F.D. tried to exploit Hangfire’s research for its own ends.

Volunteers' Fanmade Descriptions: Anwhistle family

Gregor Anwhistle

- He really changed after his sibling, H, died in action against the firestarting side

- He became very privative and spent most of his time in his work at Aquatics Anwhistle, sometimes even ignoring his duties as a volunteer and the messages he received from the headquarters.

- He was not the only mind behind the Mycelium experiments, but ended up being remembered as the main one. One of the people who helped him was Fiona's mother, but that's another long, complicated and sad story.

- He hid everything about the operation from his brother for as long as he could, and wished he never knew about it.

Isaac "Ike" Anwhistle

- A big dork

- He was in love with Josephine since when they were young, at the academy together. He admired her courage, but also the softness she showed when she helped younger volunteers in their language homework

- He was an excellent chef

- He became interested in grammar only because of his wife

- He had a reason to jump in the lake before 1 hour passed. An important object was there, and it could be lost forever in the dark, unmapped waters if no one grabbed it. He knew he wouldn't survive but it had to be done. He managed to throw it to Josephine and to tell he loved her one last time. These were his last words.

Sugar Bowl Generation Siblings - Gregor and Isaac ‘Ike’ Anwhistle

(Day one prompt for Woevember, event created by @asouefanworkevent)

Gregor and Ike were very close to one another, especially when they were children. When they became adults, not long after Gregor began what would later be known as the Volatile Fungus Deportation project, did the two started to drift away. Whatever remains of their relationship that could have been save, tragically burned into ashes in the Anwhistle Aquatic Fire.

Many speculated what made the siblings part ways was the project itself. While Ike did had words to say about it, it wasn’t the driving force of conflict. But it was nonetheless an conflict that help torn the brothers apart.

“I still think what you’re planning with the Medusoid Mycelium is something you and your team of scientists should have thought over. You’re walking too close to the edge, Gregor. One wrong step and you’ll fall in.”

“It’s not like I’m gazing into the abyss.”

A Trio Consisting of G, H, and I

(Day seven prompt for Woevember, aka, Free Space Day, event created by @asouefanworkevent)

Around the same time Gregor and Ike were recruited, a boy from the Village of Fowl Devotee was also recruited: Hector. In fact, when Hector first arrived to the Mortmain Mountain headquarters, it was Ike and Gregor who met Hector first out of everyone in their generation; Ike’s curiosity had him wandering off and finding the car Hector was in, and Gregor was off looking for Ike. 

Not long after that, Ike insisted Hector should stay in the room the two brothers were staying in, and Gregor agreed with the idea. Such decision had the adults at the headquarters soon enter a frenzy, believing Hector had ran off after escaping the car. The frenzy only ended after the three boys attempted to make breakfast that had Gregor nearly setting the kitchen on fire.

Their initial meeting and circumstances allowed Gregor, Hector, and Ike to form a strong bond with one another. It’s so strong, many people (volunteers who don’t know the Anwhistles well, or outsiders) believed them to be brothers, before getting corrected. Gregor and Ike eventually started saying Hector is actually an Anwhistle, for he got adopted at a later point in time.

Is that the truth? Does the truth matter? What’s important is how they see each other, and that is family. The bond they forged that day, and what grew over the years is what made them brothers. And almost nothing could change it.

With one swift movement, Ike sends a punch through the air, and knocks Gregor right onto the floor, as well as his glasses. While his vision is blurry, Gregor can see Ike towering over him, his chest moving up and down.

“Forget about him? Forget about him!? You’re insane to think I want to forget Hector. And you think that hell hole in the Hinterlands would be perfect for him? That place went bonkers ever since the fire! No volunteer wants to be there. There’s no way anyone can survive their rules!”

Gregor clicks his tongue again upon hearing those words. Gregor quickly grabs his glasses, puts them back on his face, and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand.

“On the contrary, Isaac,” replies Gregor, getting back up on his feet, “Hector will survive! If he survived the Volunteer Fire Department, he can do it again at the V.F.D.!”

:D The answer is...they’re ‘adopted’ brothers!

A headcanon of mind is that out of the three Anwhistle ‘Brothers’, Hector and Ike were very close with one another because they’re the same age.

Outfit reference taken from this photo of Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna. Considering how my face claim of sorts for Hector is Gael García Bernal, I should probably make my face claim of sorts for Ike be Diego Luna; it’s very fitting given the actors’ friendship.

A collection of headcanon edits of a scrap project that is set in the ASOUE Movie-Verse that I first mention here, and will explain in this post. Face Claims: Dakota Fanning as Fiona (source image from: Push), and Willem Dafoe as Captain Widdershins.

Gregor was one of the initial leaders of VFD alongside Monty, Beatrice, and Bertrand. Gregor died when the Volatile Fungus Deportation Project was in the early stages, leaving the rest to his partner Petunia, Monty’s wife. With Gregor’s death, Ike is forced to take over as leader, investigating fires (more than usual) to figure out who murdered his brother.

Unknown to Ike, his sister H (Helen) is Gregor’s killer. H thought thought by killing Gregor and Ike being his replacement, Monty, Beatrice, and Bertrand will abandon the project, which sadly, never happened.

Ike insisted they continue the project, working alongside Petunia. H fear Ike and Petunia will become volatile, and rope in her first and third husband Widdershins (H’s second husband is Fiona’s father who is now dead) and Fernald into helping her destroy the project by setting Anwhistle Aquatic on fire. Ike barely escaped with his life after attempting and failing to save Petunia and her children (who were visiting). 

During the fire, H and Fernald got trap, and Widdershins could only save one. Widdershins for once hesitate on what he should. In the end, he elected to save Fernald.

Fernald due to survivor guilt, fought with his father about how he should have saved mom instead. Widdershins believed otherwise, but nothing could convince Fernald from leaving (Fernald switched sides due to other factors). Fiona knows her mother is dead from a fire, but she has no idea it’s the Anwhistle Fire due to Widdershins feeling guilty for driving Fernald away.

Something I find fascinating is that in Photos One and Two, Josephine is sporting brown hair, while Photo Three (Movie VFD Group Photo; I’ll go more into this one) and Four have Josephine with what looks like blonde hair, though Josephine herself has white hair. The young girl in Photo Four could possibly be a young Josephine, but her hair color is hard to figure out, but I assume brown as well. Meryl Streep’s natural hair color is (light) brown, so I’ll chalk up Movie!Josephine once having (light) brown hair before it turn white, and her photos being in black in white makes her white hair be mistaken for blonde. 

Something else I also find fascinating is Movie!Ike’s ‘actor’ is unknown. Using the Way Back Machine, in June of 2006, IMDb states in its trivia section Photo One of Josephine and Ike is a still from Out of Africa (1985), with Meryl Streep (who has her [light] brown hair in that film) and a co-star, Klaus Maria Brandauer. By January of 2011, the trivia is gone. I never saw the film (just clips), but someone who must have seen it did realized Ike isn’t Klaus Maria Brandauer and remove it, since 100% Dorky Ike with Josephine in the Movie VFD Group Photo is also 100% serious Ike with Josephine in Photo One.

I wonder if Meryl Streep’s hair color play a role into this (what’s also help is Josephine and Ike’s attire look like it could from Out of Africa) as well as Movie!Josephine in Photo One really looking like a younger Meryl Streep (it’s almost like Meryl Streep use photos she had to make everything believable).

Three Words Description Self Challenge: Gregor Anwhistle, Hector, Isaac ‘Ike’ Anwhsitle, and Josephine Anwhsitle.

Notes For the Anwhistle Family + Hector:

Everything for Gregor is mostly headcanons, as little is given to him. I pictured him as a smoker for some reason.

I do headcanon Hector as H Anwhistle, but I didn’t make it a main focus for this. Also, I have a random headcanon he’s an (terrible) amateur photographer.

Everything for Ike is mostly headcanons. A random headcanon I have is while he can have ice cream, he prefers fruit sorbet, popsicles, and shaved ice.

Bananas what I headcanon as Josephine’s favorite fruit, so that makes her death worst. Also, I picked ‘Adventurous’ and  ‘Formidable’ due to the adaptations.
