#snicket siblings :(

[constancecontraire]

lemony and ellington... kit and olaf... something about snickets killing the parents of people close to them

[thelightfluxtastic]

Entirely unverifiable headcanon

Larry: Their new guardian is the most fierce and formidable member of our organization. (Meaning Josephine) Olaf: Wait, not Snicket? (Meaning Kit) Larry: What? No. Isn't he dead? (Thinking Lemony) Olaf: Is he? (Now thinking Jacques)

[navree]

it’s about lemony processing his grief over jacques’s death even as he prepares it for public consumption. it’s about lemony describing his own brother’s death. it’s about lemony who has been telling this story through the baudelaire’s eyes having himself bleed into it as he describes the death of his brother. it’s about knowing lemony likely found out the nitty gritty of it through his research. it’s about lemony losing his brother. it’s about lemony losing control of the narrative for just a second.

snickets.

day 1. sugar bowl gen siblings.

it's a part of woevember, an asoue fanwork event by @asouefanworkevent ☆

The Snicket whom the least is known about is actually Jacques, not Lemony.

Lemony’s the narrator. The reader picks up quite a bit about his life, even if it’s all very confusing. Kit actually appears in three books, and is mentioned in several more. Jacques dies in the first book he appears in.

Plus, in ATWQ, Lemony is constantly thinking and worrying about Kit, and she actually appears in the last book. Meanwhile Jacques gets maybe three or four mentions. I get the feeling that Lemony was a lot closer to Kit than to Jacques. Which is ironic, because it’s Jacques and Kit who are twins.

WOEVEMBER DAY 1: SUGAR BOWL GEN SIBLINGS

[Image description: A drawing of Lemony Snicket, Kit Snicket, and Jacques Snicket from A Series of Unfortunate Events. On the upper half of the drawing, Lemony Snicket is crying, holding a hand up to his face, and writing. He is in a barren room next to a window with blinds and a bed and bedside table in the background, the table of which is holding a picture of three people. There are papers hung up on the wall. The papers he is writing on fall down to the lower half of the drawing, Jacques on the left side, and Kit on the right. Jacques is crying while being dragged away, looking back at the Baudelaires. He is in a prison uniform. On the right, Kit is lying on the sandy ground with a painful smile on her face as the Baudelaires surround her. End description.]

Kit: In Scooby Doo there is always a hidden door behind book shelves.

Jacques: Can we not base our whole opperation around things that happen in Scobby Doo?

Lemony: Hey, guys, look at this secret door I found hidden behind the book shelves.

I'm playing with AI to create members of VFD between "Series of unfortunate events" and "All the wrong questions".

This is how I imagined Lemony would look like - composed, innocent with some sort of sadness in his wise eyes.

What do you think? Let me know who you'd like to see next!

The Snicket siblings for your game, to spoil you a bit ;)

Thank you so much for your ask and for feeding my (probably unhealthy) obsession with complicated fictional sibling relationships, Anon! I adore the Snicket Siblings and would be happy to provide a song and a headcanon for them (below the cut)! Thanks for playing my song + headcanon game! 💖

I know I never shut up about this song, but seriously, "Forest Fire" by Brighton is probably the tragic, complicated sibling anthem and it works so incredibly well for the Snickets! The fire imagery, their lost childhoods, the tragedy of it all... I feel like L.S. himself would probably approve given the grief and the guilt he feels in having lost his siblings (and vice versa when Jacques and Kit think that they've lost Lemony). It just fits them so perfectly in a sad but beautiful kind of way.

And how was I to know I'm not strong

I should have saved you

And oh I hope you know that you're my home

But now I'm lost, so lost

Brighton - Forest Fire - YouTube

I also highly recommend, "Burning House" especially the Tyler Sowards and Mass Anthem cover (YouTube link to original Cam version since I couldn't find this cover there). This song was probably a love song in its original intent, but I don't think necessarily has to be taken in a romantic and obviously in this context I mean it in a completely platonic sense. Again there is lots of great, fitting fire imagery and this deep sense of loss, sadness, and bittersweet regret in this song that I really feel is characteristic of the Snicket siblings who, despite their best efforts, were never really given the chance at a normal family life but still care for each other very deeply.

Related Headcanon:

All of the Snicket siblings suffer from recurrent nightmares about fires (among other traumas they've suffered during their time in VFD). When they were particularly young and all together, they used to comfort each other through them, without ever really discussing it. They just quietly knew that their siblings were suffering from the same kinds of nightmares they each were themselves. When they grow up and are forced to go their separate ways, these nightmares always make them think of each other. When Lemony can't sleep from them, he'll fix a cup of Kit's favorite tea. Jacques will try to think of outlandish definitions for words that Lemony might come up with. Kit will practically hear Jacques' voice trying to cheer her up by playing Beethoven with the words in her internal monologue/thoughts. And they'll each hope that wherever their siblings are in the world, that they are happy and safe.

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

@asouefanworkevent - for woevember!

[dragoneyes618]

Lemony: I can do many things.

Lemony: But admitting to Kit and Jacques that I'm cold after they told me to bring a coat is not one of them.
