I love looking for fanfics for the It movies and then seeing a majority of them being tagged with some variation of “alternate universe- no pennywise”

Man literally got evicted out of his own series 🤡

dude i just finished rereading six bauds au for the first time since it came out (i remember reading the new chapters as they came out every day which is crazy bc its been like five years) and i forgot how good it was omg

like ofc i remember it was good but its been so long since i read it that i forgot a lot of the smaller changes

also chapter 12 in part two was expected, but nicks condition and mentl battles hit me like a TRUCK he was so so traumatized it made me tear up at work while i was reading. i did not remember just how horrible he was treated in this (i loved every second of it i promise)

i am platonically kissing you on the mouth

A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and the Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch were like superwholock for weird little autistic kids who liked to make up secret codes and write messages in invisible ink

Thinking about how a series of unfortunate events could be read as mostly paralleling to an abusive home life. Fuck.

Wanting so badly for someone to help, and almost getting that but no one can fully fix the true problem. Being failed by authority figures. Not being Believed. Being openly ignored. Being only understood by other people who are powerless in their own situations. Encountering people in the exact same spot as you are and having a bond because of that but being separated and forced to just hope that they're ok. Something always messing up no matter how far you get. None of it being your fault. Just your situation. Accidentally hurting others along the way. Seeing people who never had to even think about what you do, and will never understand. Grieving the only people who gave you a sense of comfort because you had to leave and they'll never even know how much their kindness truly meant.

asoue is actually a masterpiece of postmodernist fiction. i'm being 100% serious there is no irony involved here. i'm too tired to explain so jsut trust me on this for now

People who say "I don't like asoue bc it's formulaic" miss the point bc

-it starts as a formula, a cycle of the Baudelaires being abused and mistreated bc IT'S A CYCLE THAT THEY'RE STUCK IN!! A cycle of evil and ignorence. They're being tossed around by the world and they need to get out of the cycle themselves.

-the cycle: they go to a new guardian, led by Mr. Poe, who ignores the problems about the situation. Count Olaf is stalking them, trying to kill the Baudelaires and steal their fortune.

-as is the rules with poetry and writing, you have to repeat something a few times to mess around with the formula, which you see is changed as early as the Miserable Mill. There's a poetic quality to the repetition, as well as when and how it changes.

-as it goes on, you see their passiveness being increasingly replaced with action that culminates at the end of the Vile Village, where they run away. In doing so, they've cut off the "new guardian" element to the cycle.

-they're trying to save the Quagmires and figure things out on their own. But two crucial elements to their cycle haven't been broken: they still are trying to contact Mr. Poe and they are still being hunted by Count Olaf.

-in the Grim Grotto, they break Mr. Poe out of the cycle.

-in the first chapter of the Bad Beginning, Mr. Poe meets the children on Briny Beach to inform them of the death of their parents. They come with him.

-at the end of Grim Grotto, they meet him again at Briny Beach and refuse to come, choosing instead to listen to a mysterious stranger and coded message. They choose autonomy. They choose to try to learn and figure things out. Active, not passive.

-in the Penultimate Peril is an effort to cut ties with Count Olaf once and for all as well as obtaining roles from both sides of VFD.

-but they can't get rid of Olaf and they can't let him go. Bc the last part of the cycle needs to be permanently put to rest.

-YES; Olaf hunts them throughout every book. That's. The. Point.

-Olaf needed to DIE before they could leave the island in The End.

-Olaf needed to die before they could move on.

-Olaf's death cut the final current in their cycle, ending the formula and therefore ending the series. Cutting out all the "repetitive" elements of the series made it finally end.

-they broke the cycle. That's why they could be free.

UGH I have so many thoughts

One day I'll write up this theory more cohesiveness.

happy whodunnit official reveal day!!!! hooray!!! some commentary below the cut for fun

it came to my attention that not everyone knows this one of my many sideblogs, aka the same person who owns ae-jurumi asdfgfsf. though every bracket i saw had me set correctly, so maybe it wasn't that tricky!

special shoutout to frances mysteriouseggsbenedict in the discord for inadvertently fulfilling my childhood dream: having a secret identity people speculate about. in my radio rebel / 1/2 prince era rn
