Friend: “Hey, I haven’t seen you in forever! how are you?”

me: “Fine, thanks.”

Lemony Snicket from outta nowhere: “Of course, in this case, ‘fine’ is only meant to reassure. She has never been less fine, nor was she ever fine in the first place. Here, the word ‘fine’ could be defined as ‘I am actually slowly dying on the inside, but don’t wish for anyone to worry’.

“It will be.”

“And what if it is? What do I do then?”

“Well, that’s the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.”

THEORY: Lemony Snicket is Violet Baudelaire’s Father

Anyway since I’m evidently not making a theory video anytime soon, let me resort to mediocre text when presenting this theory. The word ‘mediocre’ means ‘I am so sick of people making videos about my theories and getting paid for them but have neither the time nor energy to make my own videos’.

But I digress.

I think Lemony Snicket is Violet Baudelaire’s father.

My evidence?

We know that Lemony Snicket and Beatrice Baudelaire were romantically involved and that she had to abruptly leave him, breaking his heart and potentially his bank account. Although we don’t know how long they were together, it only takes one night, you know?

It’s stated in the final book that Violet’s name would have been Lemony had she been a boy. You can make the solid argument that this is due to him being her father.

In the TV Show (written by Handler and considered ‘canon), Olaf offhandedly mentions to Violet that he’ll be like the father she never had. A throwaway line, perhaps, and it did lead to the best line in the entire episode. (”[You had] a mother too. Remarkable woman. Flammable.”) But he could also be referring to the fact that her biological father was never in her life. And Olaf would know. I mean, he’s known the Snickets and Baudelaires for decades. He’d know. And would think the whole thing was infinitely amusing.

It explains why Lemony Snicket is in the series at all. I mean, the entire series is built around the fact that he is trying to find these children while always being a few steps behind, writing and recording everything that happened to them. I mean you could say that he’s just doing this because he’s an amateur detective/author but isn’t it more plausible that he wants to track down his daughter (and her siblings) and make sure that she’s okay, always being one step behind in what you could call a series of unfortunate events?

Let’s talk about headlines.

Earlier today, I was on Facebook and I saw something in the ‘trending news’ list (I know, I know) that said: “2 Fatally Stabbed on Portland Train After Trying To Calm ‘Ranting’ Man”.

For proof, here’s the headline of the actual article:

Straight from NBC News — a major news corporation.

I didn’t have the energy to click on the article at the time. I assumed the ‘ranting man’ in question was mentally ill and did not want to deal with article upon article condemning the disabled community for one person’s actions.

So imagine my surprise when I logged onto tumblr and saw these headlines:

I immediately went to various sources to read the actual story.

The man in question wasn’t just a “ranting man”.

His name is Jeremy Christian, he’s a proud white supremacist, he was targeting two young Muslim women, screaming hate-speech, and when several people tried to intervene, he stabbed two of them.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40073974

And all I can think of is how many other people saw that small headline on Facebook about a ‘ranting man’ and brushed it off, automatically assuming that the man was mentally ill, never knowing about this horrific hate crime, never knowing about the clear example of white supremacy in America.

It’s worth noting that it’s 7:58 PM. NBC News has still not changed their headline and Facebook has removed the story entirely.

Why Mona Being A to Protect Her Friendship with Hanna Makes Total Sense (submitted by skinnyappeal-blog)

I know people doubt that Mona’s real reason to become A again was because the girls were taking Hanna away from her when they weren’t even friends yet, but I think this actually makes a lot of sense when I re-watch the first episode. Think about it:

1) Mona had spent enough time being tormented by Alison that she snapped and became A (that shows a lot of trauma), and the theme of most of the flashbacks with all the girls together is that they never stood up to Alison’s bullying. In fact, this is directly said to Hanna by Lucas later in the season.

2) Hanna had clearly changed since Alison’s disappearance. In later seasons, we learn that Mona purposefully sought out Hanna’s friendship and helped her reinvent herself. Mona clearly really cares for Hanna who, as Mona says, is Mona’s best and only friend. As someone who had snapped to defend herself before, she would be very protective about losing the one thing she felt she had.

3) While Mona and Hanna are shoplifting, Hanna leaves Mona to go talk to Spencer. We later learn have not kept in contact, which means this kind of interaction would have been unusual. And once again, Mona is left behind.

4) The very next day, Aria returns and is hanging out with Emily when Mona first sees her. Look at this reaction when Hanna waves at Aria:

That’s not a neutral expression. Not only has she been deserted by Hanna for Spencer, now Aria has returned, is hanging out with Emily (there weren’t assigned seats, but they’re sitting together), and Hanna is being friendly.

5) Next, Spencer walks in and takes Hanna’s attention AGAIN. Mona reacts to this as well:

While we can’t see her face, the scene makes it clear that she quickly checks to see who has Hanna’s attention.

All of a sudden, the girls are all together again. In Mona’s mind, she’s already gotten rid of Alison. Now these girls are back, the others all having been cruel to her by not standing up for her to Alison, and Hanna is already showing interest. She defended herself before, and she can do it again; in fact, she already has the perfect scheme since she’s done it before. This is why Aria gets the first text–she’s the instigator because of her return and the easy opportunity that presented itself with Ezra. Mona didn’t know exactly what had happened, but she has an especially quick mind and everyone in that classroom knew something was up with how Ezra reacted to seeing Aria. It was an unfortunate side effect that returning to being A drew the girls back together. From Mona’s perspective, who had never had a friend, threatening someone with their secrets would keep people silent and isolated. It certainly worked with Alison.

In the end, Mona unwittingly proved that Alison was right (and Spencer was wrong): As Alison said at the very beginning, “Friends do share secrets. It’s what keeps us close.”
