Guys I found the first fic I ever read which is amazing because I only remembered like 2 things about it:

1. Jaques and Olivia had to go to this store before they scaled the building because Olivia needed her badass leather outfit.

2. At one point Jaques called Kit on a payphone and she asked something along the lines of if he had screwed Olivia in the back of his taxi yet, and that she didn’t want her to end up in her position (pregnant)

Keep in mind I was TWELVE when I read this, and it got sort of spicy so I stopped reading. It was a bit scarring but it’s a good read now!

#i blatantly ignored the point in the beginning #where the author literally stated that this should not be read by children #but i was like #how bad could it be???#and then proceeded to get traumatized #asoue #jalivia #olivia caliban #jaques snicket

hello, I was wondering which asoue character is your - well, i would say favourite, but I mean the one who fascinates you most, and why that is. I found your post about Duncan's idea to kick the fake sunny around hilarious, by the way.

Hi! My favourite characters are all three Quagmire triplets however the character who fascinates me the most is Quigley. 100%.

His actions are questionable at best, alongside who he chooses to place trust in. I get that Jaques was the first person Quigley was in contact with after the Quagmire fire so he would be more easily swayed by Jaques but still…the fact that Quigley CHOOSES to stay seperated from his siblings, allowing them to believe he is dead is intriguing, especially for someone claiming to have ventured to the Mortmain Mountains searching for them.

Quigley could have let Isadora and Duncan know he was alive at any time during their stay at Prufrock. On page 48 of ‘The Austere Academy’ Isadora states that she and Duncan had been living at the school for “three semesters”. Three semesters is approximately the equivalent of 45 weeks.

Why did Quigley not send them a letter during this time? Yes, Jaques said it was dangerous for people to know Quigley was alive, however Quigley was willing to risk sending a telegram to Violet in ‘The Grim Grotto’. Although, at that stage the secret of his existence had become known to Count Olaf and Esmé Squalor, which may have influenced Quigley’s decision to risk sending said telegram. This does not take away from the fact that Quigley still could have sent his siblings a CODED letter revealing his status as alive. Or, a coded newspaper article in ‘The Daily Punctilio’, as he knows of Duncan’s interest in journalism and how it would mean his brother is likely to see it. (‘The Austere Academy’ page 49 “I plan to be a newspaper reporter…figure it’s good to start practicing”-Duncan) (‘The Ersatz Elevator’ pg 143 “I’m still a journalist”-Duncan)

It is endlessly frustrating to me that Quigley waited until his siblings were out of reach (kidnapped) before he went out searching for them. The fact he went investigating in the Mortmain Mountains of all places is also somewhat incriminating. VFD headquarters was located in the Valley of Four Drafts so it is possible that Quigley was telling the truth: he was searching for his siblings and seeking information/help from VFD recruits. It’s possible he began searching after his siblings’ kidnapping to keep them safe, the same reason he didn’t reach out when they were ‘safe’ at Prufrock was because Jaques told him it was dangerous. That would align with what Quigley claims his intentions were: “set out to find the organisation. I thought they were my best hope of rescuing my siblings”. (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 8, page 155)

In ‘The Slippery Slope’ book version Quigley claims he got ready to search for his siblings prior to their kidnapping, “started to gather…supplies” (Chapter 8, page 147) but “was interrupted” by “Jaques Snicket” who Quigley did not know at the time but trusted because Jaques knew a lot about the Quagmire family, the secret passageway and because Jaques was “very well-read.” (The lack of sense in Quigley’s reasons to trust Jaques is very intriguing to me. Factors Quigley deems trustworthy I would see as suspicious and [“well-read”] irrelevant.)

Moreover, Quigley’s blind trust in Jaques portrays him as a sort of naïve character -maybe a manipulated one- as he obeys Jaques by remaining hidden even though Jaques neglected him during their stay at Montgomery Montgomery’s house, prioritising VFD work over the newly-orphaned, isolated child.

“Jaques spent a long time at Dr. Montgomery’s house, but he was too busy”… “to explain everything to me”… “He would”… “sleep all day, or disappear for hours at a time” -Quigley about Jaques Snicket (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 8, page 152)

Another possibility is that Quigley was not searching for his siblings in the Mortmain Mountains. He was searching for the sugar bowl.

Reasons:

1: Quigley is very likely a VFD recruit, VFD recruits are searching for the sugar bowl.

Reason to believe Quigley is a recruit: when explaining the function of ‘Verdant Flammable Devices’ Quigley says

“so another volunteer will know where you are” (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 7, page 126)(not originally bolded) The word choice “another” implies that Quigley himself is a volunteer.

Another reason: Quigley suggests that Isadora-his triplet- may be a member of VFD already “I wonder if that’s a code she learned from V.F.D.”-Quigley (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 10, page 187)

2: It could be interpreted that Quigley has already been inside of VFD headquarters. If he had been there searching for his siblings why would he lie about never entering the headquarters whilst it still stood?

“I read that there was a large window”… ‘moving his gloved hand in the air as if it were still there’. “When it was your turn to cook you could look out at the waterfall while you were chopping vegetables or simmering sauce” -Quigley Quagmire (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 7, page 136)

^The hand gesture in particular suggests Quigley’s familiarity with the building as it conveys how he knew the precise spot where the window was situated. Even possessing the information‘through reading’ that you could “look out at the waterfall while cooking” he should have needed time to work out where the kitchen worktop would be positioned to figure where the window would be. The specific actions “chopping vegetables” and “simmering sauce” especially hint towards this being something Quigley tells from personal experience rather than reading. Unless it was a diary or an encoded message why would somebody write in such detail about a secret headquarters? Unless Montgomery Montgomery kept a diary which Quigley found whilst staying in his house?

^Additionally, volunteers “chopping vegetables” has extra relevance. Quigley is a TRAVELLER at this point, he should only have food on him that is long-lasting, otherwise is SURELY would have gone mouldy… so where does he get the carrot sticks he offers Violet on the frozen waterfall? (See Chapter 10, page 188 of ‘The Slippery Slope’.)

Carrot sticks=A chopped vegetable. What did volunteers do in the VFD headquarters’ kitchen? Chopped vegetables!

3: Quigley has written about the sugar bowl in his notebook,

“Jaques Snicket mentioned a sugar bowl once” … “said it was very important to find it” …”I wrote it down on…a page in my commonplace book” (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 11, page 219)

4:The sugar bowl is located in the Mortmain Mountains whilst Quigley is there.

Asides from the endless theories surrounding Quigley’s actions, I find his characterisation interesting. Likeable too, if you couldn’t tell that already by the sheer amount I’ve written about him…

He’s so isolated and very much in denial about that.

“Not quite by myself”… “I had this backpack” … “and I had my commonplace book”-Quigley (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 8, page 155) This is just SAD.

“I wish Isadora were here”-Quigley (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 11, page 217)

He’s so LONELY! Everyone thinks he’s DEAD! His siblings are kidnapped; Quigley has no way of knowing that they’re even still alive! His mother left him in that secret tunnel then the first adult he saw (and became attached to-) after her kept leaving him continuously without even SAYING he was going anywhere! (Implied by word choice “disappear” describing Jaques’ actions) Only for Jaques to leave and never come back! Then-and this gets OVERLOOKED- the snow scouts he spent time with when disguised as one, were KIDNAPPED! They were literally swooped up and taken away right before his eyes!!! After THAT he gets SEPARATED from the only friends he still has!!!! Somebody give this child a hug!!!!!!!!!!!

The isolation he’s in has caused Quigley to become INDEPENDENT and capable, unable to rely on others he can only help himself.

“We found it in a coded map”-Klaus Baudelaire

“I had to draw my own map.”-Quigley Quagmire (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 7, page 126)

Despite not having any of the advantages of childhood (receiving help) he is still vulnerable to the drawbacks: “Bruce saw my matches and confiscated them, because children shouldn’t play with matches”-Quigley (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 9, page 163)

He’s selfless too, to an extent, when he helps the Baudelaires save Sunny even though it risks his safety and well-kept secret of being alive

“You don’t have to risk your life any further”-Violet

“Don’t be absurd” “Of course I’m going to help you” -Quigley (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 9, page 182)

Although, the fact he risks his identity being leaked to help the Baudelaires circles back to the question of why he let his siblings believe he was dead.

Point out of his favour: Quigley helps to convince Violet to leave her baby sister to spy on villains, “Sunny can find out for us, but only if she stays here.” (Chapter 10, page 202) but everyone has flaws. We don’t need to criticise Quigley for this, right? If anything it depicts how brainwashed he is.

He’s naïve:

“I never thought of learning about maps as training,” Quigley said. “I just liked it.” -(‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 11, page 213) [Referring to his home-life pre-fire]

^The fact Quigley keeps placing trust in adults with hidden intentions is heartbreaking.

He’s MORALLY GREY in the books especially!!! He has the idea to hold Esmé Squalor hostage:

‘ “We could take her prisoner,” Quigley said’ … “thinks cigarettes are in. If we lit some of them, she might smell the smoke and come down here.” (‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 11, page 221) The fact that he’s willing to do bad things to protect the people he cares about contributes to why he’s one of my favourite characters.

Although he helps the Baudelaires, Quigley did not reveal his identity to them until there were no other options of people he could turn to. He kept his mask on when they were working on the lock but thought nothing of revealing VFD secrets,

“very centre of the Valley of Four Drafts, so the smoke is scattered… V.F.D doesn’t want anyone to see the smoke.”-Quigley(‘The Slippery Slope’ Chapter 7, page 125)

meaning he was intentionally keeping his identity secret from them until they finished helping him with the lock. He was using them, if only for a small thing, redeeming himself when he helps them later.

In conclusion, Quigley is the most fascinating ASOUE character because his actions and words compose of half-truths and veiled intentions, leaving him open to interpretation. He is not straightforward. I see him as a character who doesn’t always do what he thinks is good but will try to display himself as having good intentions, even if that means lying. Quigley leaves behind more questions than answers and is therefore the most intriguing character.

Thanks for the ask! (+thanks for the compliment! I’m happy you enjoyed my post!) :)

This may be…a little longer than you anticipated… it is far lengthier than I thought it would turn out anyway! Whoops?

Please, feel free to send more asks! :)

HEADCANON: VFD

BASICS. VFD is a secret organization throughout the series. It stands for Volunteer Fire Department and it’s members are dedicated to extinguishing both literal and figurative fires. They represent the “true human tradition; the best chance of extinguishing chaos and cruelty throughout the world.” (Jaques Snicket, season 2 episode 5)

VOLUNTEERS. The Baudelaire parents were the leaders of VFD, and other volunteer members included Josephine Anwhistle, Esme Squalor, Monty Montgomery, and even Count Olaf. Jaques Snicket states that he and Olaf did some “noble work” in the Village of Fowl Devotees once.

THE SCHISM. Before Violet was born, VFD had split apart into two groups. One side started fires while the other put them out. The catalyst for the schism, according to my own observations, is the death of Olaf’s father. He was shot with a poison dart by Beatrice Baudelaire and Lemony Snicket by mistake; her original target being Esme Squalor. Olaf wanted revenge for his father’s death, so he burned the Baudelaire home. His hatred towards Beatrice extended to her children.

THE SUGAR BOWL. The cause for this accidental murder is because of the contents in a particular sugar bowl. We learn in The Grim Grotto that Gregor Anwhisle of Anwhisle Aquatics had developed a deadly fungus: the Medusoid Mycelium, which could kill a person in an hour if the spores are inhaled. It was developed with the intent to use as a weapon against the fire starting side of VFD. The contents of the sugar bowl contained a cure that made the consumer completely immune to the fungus (series canon, not book canon). Beatrice Baudelaire stole the sugar bowl from Esme, for reasons unknown, but I am guessing that it was because she thought it would be safer in her possession and she didn’t want such an important thing to fall in the wrong hands.

Olaf: would you remember me in a minute?

Klaus: unfortunately.

Olaf: in an hour?

Violet: regrettably.

Olaf: in an hour?

Sunny: igosh... (meaning: you already said that)

Olaf: I have no idea what that means.

Olaf: what about in a day.

Klaus: woefully, yes.

Olaf: in a week?

Violet: alas, we would.

Olaf: a month?

Sunny: hisfik...

Olaf: a year??

The Baudelairs, in unison: yes...

Olaf: well then, knock knock!

Klaus: nobody’s home, it burned down.

Olaf: knock. Knock. Orphans.

Violet: I open the door, greeting you with a warm smile.

Klaus: I offer you a cookie

Olaf: which I humbly accept.

Sunny: upsig!

Violet, translating: 'I hug your leg, refusing to let go'

Klaus: your eyes widen

Violet: you realize that the cookie is poisoned, and you start to feel rather faint.

Sunny: asgoof!!

Klaus, translating: 'I bite your leg, causing you to tumble to the ground.'

Klaus: I close the door—

Violet: —politely, because we wouldn’t want to be rude—

Klaus: and wish you well.

Lemony Snicket, narrating: I am jovial to tell you that soon after this encounter, Count Olaf left the room. After the Baudelaire children managed to escape from the chair they were poorly tied to, they fled the scene.

Lemony: two days later, the scenario happened, much to the surprise of the baudelaires. Of course, the children were far too shocked to poison the horrible man.

Snicket: but soon, Sunny was no longer under the effects of The Element of Surprise, and quickly bit Count Olaf’s ankle. Before long he began stumbling, failing to notice the oncoming cars.

Lemony: of course, it is rather rude to poison someone or cause them to stagger into oncoming traffic, but that is how it went. The trauma, the Baudelaires knew, would stick with them forever, just as every unfortunate event that had supervened with Count Olaf’s involvement

some headcanons about snicket siblings:

kit used to cut her brothers's hair in the summer.

lemony and jaques were a bit overprotective of kit sometimes and she got tired of it at some point

ever since lemony started to write(at a very early age) he read his stories to his siblings and they were very supportive but at the same time couldn't help but joke about how dramatic lemony is sometimes

of course kit and jaques are very dramatic, too, but not as much as lemony

when they were kids they used to play little theatrical performances they wrote themselves (mostly lemony) and show them to their parents
