#snicketverse

i always imagined vfd as a vast network and those that gathered in the last safe place were only a small number of a larger figure, and that whilst this branch may have "failed" there will always be others

forever mourning who every character in vfd could have been if they weren't kidnapped

i've removed my imagines so completely from canon that i just got jumpscared by a jacques snicket edit and remembering he died felt like being slapped in the face

As much as I enjoy the Netflix series and generally like these characters on their own, I’ve always found the inclusion or Jacqueline and Larry Your Waiter and even the changes made to Olivia Caliban to undermine the core theme of the adults in the Baudelaire lives constantly failing them. If anything TPP makes in explicit that in the best case scenario for VFD children are put in precarious situations. And all the attempts to make these adults competent can only go so far because it would interfere with The Word of God. Like the banality of the Baudelaires predicament is that they’re failed by both their Allies and their adversaries at every turn - coincidentally the same lesson lemony learns by the end of ATWQ

Taking a trip to Boston and this hotel has so many eye logos that I think it might be a front for the VFD
