my feelings on count olaf are very complex. I think about him and kit snicket and la forza del destino and i'm like 'wow, he's such a complicated and tragic character! vfd turned him into a tortured, torturing shell of a man fixated on revenge, but even in his depravity, there is still a faint glimmer of humanity. things could have been different for him, in a better world, but that's not how the story goes'. and then I think about him and violet baudelaire and i'm like 'he needs to be repeatedly hit with tiny hammers until he is dead'
