If the Baudelaire children and Quagmire triplets were in VFD, who do you think would be their mentors?

Violet would definitely get Kit; it’s implied in TGG and SYBIS that Kit is some kind of engineer, and Kit seemed to know Beatrice and Bertrand pretty well. (Plus, if we go with the Violet Snicket theory...)

Klaus would either get Dewey or some other librarian, depending on how secret the wanted Klaus and/or Dewey to be

Sunny would likely get some kind of cook, but honestly I can’t remember any because my vision’s going red from the idea of VFD splitting the Baudelaires up for brainwashing

Duncan would get some kind of reporter- we know Jacques, Lemony and R worked for the Daily Punctilio, but Lemony seems to have left VFD so the other two are more likely

Isadora would get another poet - if Bertrand was still alive and active in VFD, definitely him, but if not, maybe Josephine (grammar), Dewey (we know he did poetry with Bertrand) or maybe Fernald if the firestarters got to her or if Fernald is a Volunteer in this scenario.

Quigley might get Jacques because TSS book and also ANGST, but he could also get another traveler. Olivia would be real interesting but she seems to be off-the-grid. Perhaps Josephine? or even Widdershins, as he travels around, though he doesn’t seem to know much about maps

Also, for funsies:

Carmelita would probably get Beatrice if she was still alive and active in VFD, as she seems very interested in theater and performance. If not, Jacquelyn seems to be into acting, or perhaps Gustav and Sally, filmmakers

Friday would get a researcher, such as Dewey, Jacques or Lemony (restrictions listed above still apply here)

What would unfortunate gen go as for Halloween? (Could you do six baudelaires too)

WELL SINCE YOU ASKED

Violet - She always chooses some complicated (usually steampunk-ish) cosplay to make herself. She’s made her own flappable wings for a dragon-girl outfit, color-changing wigs, and dresses that spin into other dresses. Most “mainstream” she’s gone was when she made a cosplay of Rose Tyler, though she still made herself a glowing wig (that she later re-used for Yang Xiao Long outfit) and added glow-in-the-dark paint to her jacket that read Bad Wolf.

Klaus - He always chooses a book character to make an impressively accurate cosplay for. Usually nobody recognizes him but he doesn’t care because he’s having fun. His costumes range from mainstream-ish stuff like “Ravenclaw but it’s a book-accurate costume” to “So yeah I decided to be Odysseus this year but it’s vaguely modern because it’s cold out.”

Sunny - Baby Sunny’s first Halloween was spent dressed as a shark. Afterwards, she is ALL about the vampires and witches.

Quagmires - they LOVE doing themed costumes. earliest Halloween they remember, they went as the Aristocats. As they get older, they get more into “creepy halloween makeup” so they definitely do, like, Horror Monster stuff. One year they did 3/5 of the Teen Titans and Isadora was Raven because goth.

Fiona - much like Klaus, she likes to pick obscure characters to cosplay; Merricat Blackwood (no this isn’t inspired by my one-shot), Nancy Whitman from Wayward Children, Eleanor Vance, Rhoda Penmark, etc. Most mainstream she went was Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Carmelita - Always some princess or fairy, usually with a very expensive costume she can show off. She adores doing makeup for herself every year, too, and if in the future she gets redeemed, she def does the makeup for the rest of the unfortunate gen, no matter how much Klaus tells her to stop.

Friday - she is SO pumped to do Halloween on the mainland that she has a different costume for every Halloween event she attends. She at first likes to buy costumes from movies she likes, cheap stuff she can afford with her allowance, like Party City Elsa dresses or cute witchy outfits, but eventually Fiona and her new mom Ellington teach her how to make her own. She still likes to be princesses, though, and she definitely does Moana quite a lot.

Bea - Sunny and Bea think it’s cute if they match. When Sunny’s a vampire, Bea’s a bat (which she LOVES, she gets to flap around the wings!). When Sunny’s a witch, Bea’s her cat. Once they went as Elsa and Anna.

Lilac - Halloween is her JAM. She will wear ANYTHING and scare the SHIT out of everyone. All the creepiest costumes you can think of, she has done, with no regard for how long it will take nor how dangerous the costume could be. (No, Klaus, nobody will mind if I can actually breathe fire outta this.) The only time of the year she has no concern for anybody else.

Nick - He likes to piss Lilac off by wearing a tshirt that says “this is my costume” or just dressing as Klaus. However, he will sometimes do group costumes with Violet and Klaus, and he’ll dress up as anything Soli asks him to.

Solitude - she just wears a lil snake or dragon costume and hisses/roars at anyone who comes near her

A Series of Unfortunate Events ~ Modern AU

↳ Unfortunate Generation + tumblr

the unfortunate gen reads atwq and constantly references it to fuck with lemony

obviously violet and duncan do the what’s the news thing, lemony’s mostly disturbed that violet’s always the one asking. it’s almost like she knows they’re related

sometimes someone will say something similar to a title of one of the books (”shouldn’t you be in bed?”) and another person says “that’s the wrong question”

when discussing their childhoods occasionally someone will say “i was almost 13 and i was wrong”

one time they take a taxi somewhere and tip the driver with a book recommendation

#lemony: what the fuck is going on.#asoue #atwq #lemony snicket #unfortunate generation

Ooooooooooh ok for the Unfortunate Sisters AU where are you putting the Quagmires and Baudelaires??? Or do they cease to exist???

well... here’s what i’ve got SO FAR. all subject to change

Violet and Klaus take the role of Duncan and Isadora. Their Mother and Sister disappeared in a shipwreck while their Father died in a fire. They were sent to Prufrock Prep until their Uncle can return from Peru.

Quigley takes the role of Carmelita- his entire family “died” in a fire, and he was also sent to Prufrock. While he’s on good terms with the Baudelaires, he has a track record of being a teacher’s pet and trusting literally anyone who claims to be an authority figure.

However, of course, the Quagmires aren’t at all dead. Their parents got them into the tunnels, but Isadora was separated from them.

Isadora takes the role of Quigley; she finds The Incomplete History after climbing out of the tunnel and learns about VFD. She joins the Snow Scouts to reach headquarters. Quigley is there, but he believes the rest of their family to be dead; as much as it pains her, she doesn’t reveal herself to him, as she can’t get him alone to tell him, and revealing her identity to anyone else would be a huge risk. She communicates through sign language until she gets the Calibans into a tunnel.

Duncan takes the role of Fiona. His parents have him temporarily apprenticed under them while they try to track Isadora, Quigley, and several other things of importance- namely, the Sugar Bowl, which may be headed their way at the Newspaper Office they’re undercover at...

Sunny takes the role of Friday. She and her mother have been on the island for as long as she can remember- well, sort of. She can barely remember her siblings and how much she loved them. Due to this, she’s suspicious of Ishmael and the island society.
