When Lemony Snicket said "I will love you as a thief loves a gallery and as a crow loves a murder, as a cloud loves bats and as a range loves braes. I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong. I will love you as a battlefield loves young men and as peppermints love your allergies, and I will love you as the banana peel loves the shoe of a man who was just struck by a shingle falling off a house. I will love you as a volunteer fire department loves rushing into burning buildings and as burning buildings love to chase them back out, and as a parachute loves to leave a blimp and as a blimp operator loves to chase after it" I felt that.

Ive wrote test on romantic literature (romanticism) a few days ago and realized something.
Couldn’t most of stories nowadays be classified as part of romanticism?
The main signs of a romantic hero is that they suffer, are considered weird, have some tragic love story going on, someone dies in some brutal way and the media is often mixed with some other (novel wrote as a poem).
This way you could technically say that Percy Jackson, RWBY, The series of unfortunate events or Never ending story are part of romanticism.
Correct me if I’m wrong 🤷

I’ve just finished the first season of The Mysterious Benedict Society and I must say that it gives me The Series of Unfortunate Events vibe.
Not the “smart and talented kids constantly find themselves into horrible situations and can’t catch a break because of moronic adults” kind, but the “mysteries, secret societies and retro aesthetic” kind.

But I must admit I miss you terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby.

things i think about CONSTANTLY:
daniel handler said that everyone in a series of unfortunate events and the surrounding universe is jewish "unless stated otherwise"
the only time it could possibly have been considered "stated otherwise" is in the netflix tvv, when poe and his wife mention being the only kids in their class without b'nei mitzvahs
literally the only non-jewish characters in this series are the bankers
daniel handler is the funniest man alive
