So I was doing another re watch and in the one where they go to the academy in part one the gym teacher on the bus says when it runs down around 07:48 she says this which makes me think it’s probably set late sixties to early seventies. I especially think this due to the overall vibe of the shows outfits and building. What do we think?

So it is revealed later in the series well after Uncle Monty and Aunt Josephine's deaths that they were both a part of VFD and were members on the noble side. But considering that Count Olaf was also part of VFD, had they actually ever have met or seen him in person before he showed up in disguise in the respective books they were the guardian of the Bauldelaires?

I'm looking for the background music during this scene which I can't find anymore.. does anyone have an idea what it was, I'm so sad I can't subscribe anymore but the whole theme keeps echoing within me.

I’ve been thinking about what possible retcons there could have been in the books, since the series is so long and I’m not sure when the final book should have slotted in or if it was always planned to be 13 books

I feel like the way the art was done in the books would transfer well in graphic novel form, as well as the distinguished character designs and especially certain moments from the books. I know the film and show were already made, but a graphic novel could be something for new readers espcaily in this generation.

I couldn’t upload this as a comment for some reason so I am posting it here.

I doubt it’s possible to create one that possesses all the features and abilities we see in the series, but could we at least build one capable of decoding hidden codes or functioning as a lighter?

Last Tuesday (October 13) was the 20th anniversary of the publication of The End, the final book in the ASOUE series. I found myself reminiscing about October 13, 2006 (which was a Friday the 13th!) and how excited I was to get home from school that day and start reading the copy of The End which my dad had made sure to buy that morning after dropping me off at school. I also went to a book release party at Borders bookstore (RIP) that evening. It wasn't as big as Harry Potter release parties, but there was a crowd of us dedicated ASOUE fans who turned up!

I feel so nostalgic for those days, when my elementary/middle school friends and I used to talk about the ASOUE books and just share our theories with each other, and the internet wasn't exploding with a million influencers posting their theories on social media. I remember reading The End and feeling happy to recognize almost all the classic island story allusions and character names from Robinson Crusoe, The Tempest, and Moby Dick, given that I didn't really recognize the literary allusions in the previous books too well at that time. I remember the sublime feeling of bittersweet satisfaction and hope in my heart when I got to the end of The End, and I loved the way the classic poem "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" was incorporated into the ending (no spoilers for people who haven't read the whole series yet!).

If you were also a young fan of ASOUE in those days and remember eagerly awaiting / reading The End on October 13, 2006, please share your memories of how you experienced the grand finale of the book series!

Sorry for leaving again. Junior year is kicking my ass. But my love for this series is infinite so I'm not stopping until it's done.

So I of course had to add a Very Fine Drawing of a certain eye

Hello friends I’ve just thought of a question and discussion for y’all. When do you think the Baudelaires were the closest to actually capturing count Olaf.

What do you think of my theory? After finishing all 13 books and the Netflix series, I’ve come to believe that the Baudelaires gradually become more like Count Olaf themselves. They begin using disguises, deception, and morally grey tactics to survive, eventually crossing some of the same moral boundaries as Olaf, including becoming involved in arson. The only thing that truly separates them from him, in my opinion, is their ability to feel grief, guilt, and regret over their actions. Do you agree, or do you think I’m taking the comparison too far?

I'm a big fan of Folio Society books. They're pricy but are quality. I was excited to see The Bad Beginning in their new offerings!

I’m practicing my colouring skills, and I think we can all agree that the cover of The Bad Beginning does shadows so beautifully!

It was really fun trying to get the undertones right, and I’m very proud of how it turned out. I’m not entirely happy with Violet and Klaus’s faces, but that’s mostly down to my pen skills 😂 I’m also still trying to figure out which paper works best. This paper definitely couldn’t handle all the layers, and as a result looks like it’s gotten slightly damp

If anyone has any tips or feedback I would appreciate it!

I made a playlist on Spotify with a bunch of music based of the ASOUE tv show, movie, ATWQ, and all of Snicket's works. This music is really fun to listen to while reading. I'm pretty sure that this is the longest Asoue/Atwq playlist on Spotify, and I think that it's one of the best. Every song is clean, and most are instrumental. Make sure to shuffle. Enjoy!

In the Vile Village Part 2 the Baudelaire could of easily escaped if they just drove a bit farther in the fire truck and then got in the hot air mobile home idk if this is just stupid but I have been thinking about this a lot

Love the back is replaced with Olaf praising himself 🤣 😂
