Klaus baudelaire - Blog Posts

Esmé: *starts trying to get into Olaf's pants*

Me with my 6 year old cousin: *Puts hands over her eyes* Look away! Look away!

Post on Tumblr: The elevator of success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs...

Me: How well did that work out for the Baudelaires?

Finished the Baudelaires. Hopefully they look traumatized af.

So the background is hell on a leash. 💀💀 All I thought was "VFD VFD VFD VFD".

I think my art is getting more shit?

Violet and Klaus Baudelaire. I'm going to do Sunny soon. These don't take much time.

I know that they have black hair. I just suck at making black hair not blob-like.

Look away.. Look awaaayy

I wanted to try out a very stylized style! It was fun to not have to worry about proper portions and stuff

Otra serie de eventos desafortunados au

Ok, dejemos algo en claro , no e terminado los libros, voy en "una escuela muy austera " , la que si me termine fue la serie , a si que , acompañenme a ver este au

Los baudelaire , si bien son mayores de edad(bueno ,klaus y violet) , han seguido fugitivos por su juicio injusto

Terminan en el interior, viviendo en una casa muy pequeña, y polvorienta , pero todos hacen lo mejor que pueden

Klaus duerme en el sillón, violte en el sotano ,mientras sunny y Beatrice en el ático

Violet tiene 29 , entró en crisis , por todo lo vivido, a si que termina refugiándose en sus inventos , tratando de negar su situación actual, siempre llorando,porque cree no pudo proteger a sus hermanos y descubrir la verdad de su padre , vende sus inventos bajo el nombre de " laura sniket " , de allí sacando dinero para la familia , elude mucho la realidad , y ya no usa su listón

Klaus tiene 26 , por otro lado , se volvió un josephin 2.0, siendo paranoico ,y llevando una escopeta siempre, igual trata de ayudar a su familia, ya sea con clases para sunny y beatrice, o alejando , cualquier "peligro ", el no a dejado que las niñas salgan de la casa , desde que llegaron allí, hace más o menos 5 años

Sunny tiene 14 años , para este punto , a olvidado mucho de sus aventura, solo sabe que su vida nunca fue fácil, y que por eso, tiene horribles ataques de pánico en la noche , provocados por " pesadillas ", o mejor dicho , recuerdos ,ella cocina en la casa , y también tiene la manía de amarrarse el pelo ,para pensar

Beatrice tiene 12 , al igual que sunny,no sabe mucho ,a tratado de usar sus dotes detectivescas, para saber que pasa , pero su familia es más lista , su relación con sunny, es como la que tenían violet y klaus, cree que klaus está chiflado, pero lo hace por amor ,y le gustaría que violet dejara de fingir que los padres de todos viven

Cuando ella escapa de la casa , para conocer a su único familiar vivo, y limpiar el nombre de sus familias, para que tengan la vida que siempre quisieron , klaus y sunny van por ella , solo para descubrir que violet fue secuestrada , y klaus sigue siendo prófugo

Absuelven a sunny de crímenes, pero las 2 niñas , terminan en manos de sr.poe ,y sunny solo sabe que apenas lo vio ,lo odio

Klaus es separado de sus hermanas, y decide salir de la cárcel, unirse a snicket, y limpiar sus nombre de una buena vez

Violet es secuestrada por el lado malo de vfd , para ser más específicos,por los mentores del conde olaf , al principio quiso recuperar su ilusión feliz , pero cuando la mujer le peina ,con un listón negro , algo se activa en ella , decide trabajar con ellos , solo hasta limpiar el nombre de su familia,y recuperar a sus hijas

Sr.poe lleva a las niñas con varios tutores, que extrañamente, le parecen familiares a sunny,y que mueren como peces dorados , una poeta amante del peligro y los disfraces , que termina "suicidándose", no sin antes,dejarme pistas a un hombre de gafas ,para encontrar a sus hijas

Un periodista que tenía información para limpiar sus nombres , muerto en un "accidente " de auto , pero las niñas dan con sus apuntes , y el libro de las organizaciones secretas , donde descubren todo

Terminan con un cartógrafo, con una gran casa voladora ,que les promete encontrar a violet, como termina ?, obligando a sunny a quemar una casa , y manchando más el apellido boudelaire

Llevadas a la prufrock , donde prometen reformarlas, solo para descubrir que la directora ,amante del tap,quiere a las niñas muertas, es allí donde klaus las encuentra, y logran limpiar su nombre

Mientras , violet se reencuentra con quigley , el cual a desertado del lado bueno , este le promete el cielo y las estrellas, y aunque violet lo ama con locura, se prometió no volver a caer , seguir luchando ,por su familia, y termina traicionandolo,más, cuando descubre que el mato a su propia familia

Quigley se vuelve el nuevo "olaf", cuando su lado , no pudo proteger a sus padres , y solo puso a sus hermanos en su contra , decidió que haría las cosas de forma más cómoda

Descubre dónde están los boudelaire, y secuestra a violet, logra encerrar a klaus , y aunque escapa , como fugitivo no puede hacer mucho , mata a sus hermanos ,para tener a las niñas , para tener una "familia " con su amada

Después de que violte le traiciona , logra hacer con la custodia de las niñas , y ver que sunny es idéntica a su hermana, mientras beatrice tiene todo el carácter de klaus ,hace que quiera a la mayor de aprendiz, y deshacerse de la otra , en cuento pueda , trata de engañar a sunny para quemar la casa , con su hermana dentro

Arreglo que terminarán en la prufrock , pero cuando un nuevo bibliotecario, de nombre "fausto"( klaus), entra , las niñas escapan de sus manos

Klaus lemony ,sunny y beatrice, termina en un submarino, y con ayuda de una vieja amiga, logran dar con violet...solo para que fiona los traicióne

Vfd no aceptó a su familia de vuelta, a si que se fue del lado malo, en medio del desastre, quigley y Carmelita, se encuentras con sus viejos rivales

Todo termina con un arpón, y violet, muriendo para proteger a su familia, lemony le entrega toda la información que rescató, a los huérfanos

Con sus nombres limpios , klaus puede reclamar la herencia de sus padres , y darle una vida normal a su familia, publican la obra de lemony snicket

Talvez, te gustaría creer que todos vivieron felices, que klaus, beatrice y sunny,lograron tener una familia...pero cuando cierto hombre, prende una chispa en la cocina, todos sabemos que no es el final

"you're so pretty", okay so write something for me like lemony snicket.

was going through my asoue tag yesterday (of posts i’ve reblogged, not my own posts) and found the post about klaus thinking even years later that he should’ve done something to help uncle monty and prevent his death and how important and heavy and terrible that guilt is and i was reading my tags on it and wanted to make them into a bigger post bc like, this really is heartbreaking, and so is reptile room in general

reptile room is such an important book!! bad beginning sets up olaf and his desire for the baudelaire fortune (and general abuse), but reptile room is the one that creates the set up for the rest of the books – new guardian (or new circumstances), olaf eventually appears – and is the first time it happens!! the kids go from suddenly losing their parents, to getting olaf, who’s a terrible, abusive person, to then getting a new guardian, who’s, nice. monty is still, incredibly misguided and a well-meaning but ultimately useless adult, because he doesn’t recognize olaf and focuses more on the herpetological society than baudelaires telling him olaf is a threat, but he’s also still a good person, and he’s the first good, kind, decent person the baudelaires meet after losing their parents.

he gives them their own rooms, with things he knows they’ll like, and he lets them be involved in his life and work and help prepare for the trip to peru. (this is also assuming that peru was not vfd-related, which i don’t think it was.) he makes them feel important and needed for themselves, not for the money they’ll one day have. he gives them a home, a safe place, somewhere they’re cared for, by someone who genuinely cares about them. it’s not like being at home with their parents, because nothing is going to compare to that, but it’s close. especially after living with someone like olaf, who hit klaus, locked sunny in a cage, tried to marry violet. and in no other book do they have the opportunity to be as comfortable and safe and cared for as they are with monty in the reptile room. (josephine’s fear prevents her from really being a parent and connecting with them, sir makes them do child labor, nero doesn’t care about his students and puts the kids in the orphan shack, esme and jerome are, esme and jerome, the vfd village also treats them as child labor, after that they’re on their own and the adults they meet still can’t do anything to really help. even dewey’s offer of the kids staying at the hotel falls flat in the face of, it is a vfd hotel, and even as neutral territory and ‘the last safe place’ it’s never going to be completely safe. the only place they have ever been remotely as safe as they were in their parent’s house is with monty.)

(and especially in the way that monty isn’t just montgomery montgomery, he’s introduced as uncle monty. it’s unlikely that he really was related to beatrice and bertrand, but he’s considered family.)

and then olaf comes back. and he corrupts that safety, and murders monty.

and it’s like the baudelaires lose their parents all over again. but this time, it was supposed to be different!! because before, when the fire killed their parents, they weren’t home, they were at briny beach. but now!! this time they were home!! this time they were there!! they were with a guardian who was family and like a parent and supposed to protect them, and the baudelaires could protect him, too!! and they were there when monty was murdered and just didn’t know!!! this kind of loss wasn’t supposed to happen again but it did! of course klaus would still think even years and years later that he should’ve done something, because he feels directly responsible for this loss that wasn’t, by any stretch of the imagination, supposed to happen a second time!!

and there’s no way he could’ve possibly changed anything about how it played out. olaf would’ve murdered monty eventually no matter what, because monty was in his way, and olaf was always going to do it in a way no one could interfere with. even if klaus had called out to the taxi driver to take olaf away when he arrived as stephano, likely nothing would’ve happened. but klaus’ survivors guilt exists and stays with him because it’s a horrifying loss that he blames himself for, because he was there, and monty was alive and then he wasn’t, and there’s proof this time, there’s a body this time, there’s a house that remains that didn’t burn down that klaus was in, monty’s possessions are left behind, his peaches are still there, such tangible things that only reinforce what was lost and wasn’t supposed to be lost this time. klaus is twelve years old and just lost his parents and then lost the only other adult who could’ve come close to them. (and it’s not going to stop there, but how this loss functions first in bb/rr specifically is pivotal)

and that trauma never stops! ideally he should know better as an adult, that it was never his responsibility to save monty, or his parents, and there was nothing he could do, but he still thinks it was because they were so close and so similar. it’s heartbreaking that even some time later klaus can’t stop re-imagining what he could’ve done differently

Woah Mr Mentally Ill posting twice in one day??

...who cares lol

Anyway– I'm here today to talk to you about the use of color in ASOUE. So let's get into it!

Okay let's start off with basics: yellow represents innocence and purple represents evil. In the early days of the first season, Sunny wears yellow colored clothes. As she gets older however, she wears more colors like pink and grey.

Purple is the color that Esmé wears at the opera. It's also the color that the man with the beard but no hair and the woman with hair but no beard wear. In the scene wear the baudelaires help burn down the hotel and help Olaf get away, Violet wears purple.

Again, going back to yellow, look at the island. Now this might be a bit of a stretch, so take it with a grain of salt. So yellow and red make orange right? So someone with not much knowledge on the subject might think that orange and white makes yellow aswell.

This is where the stretch comes in, Ishmael wants to recreate that innocence like we see in Sunny at the start. That's what VFD was supposed to do, keep childlike innocence.

While you would think red would be a color associated with evil in ASOUE, but it doesn't. It mainly represents good. The uniform on the Quequeg is red. In the show, Kit wears it at the opera. In the books, the baudelaires wear it while working at the Hotel Denoument. Klaus also wears it in some early episodes.

Blue would usually be associated with childlike innocence, but in ASOUE it's usually the loss of childlike innocence. Beatrice wears it when she throws the dart that kills Olaf's father. Klaus wears it when they steal a boat, get arrested, in the movie, and all illustrations. Sunny also wears it in later seasons, showing how she is no longer innocent. It is also the color of the sugar bowl.

Green is a neutral color. The hypnotized mill workers wear it. In the show, the baudelaires wear it when they spy on bad people. Olaf wears it in the song "Not how the story goes".

Black and white funnily enough, aren't black and white. They're blurred, both bad and good characters wearing it.

But hey– that's just my two cents!!

(If you guys wanna send me theories to talk about, send me them!)

okay this theory might be a little controversial..

First things first, we are ignoring the show's "genetically altered sugar" sugar bowl excuse, because that feels like it was pulled out of someone's ass.

Hear me out: there is nothing in the sugar bowl + esmé is still good.

So we know that the schism didn't start with sugar bowl gen, but thats when it really exploded. Esmé Squalor is personally mad, not because Beatrice Baudelaire is a volunteer, but because her trust was betrayed.

Esmé while talking to Dewey Denoument gets told, "The container is yours. Not what it contains."

This means VFD believes the sugar bowl itself is still Esmé's. We know sometimes Lemony will use metaphors for the plot, like the great unknown.

I believe the sugar bowl is a physical stand-in for the betrayal Esmé felt with Beatrice.

When VFD split, friends became enemies. We know this, right? And we know that Esmé and Beatrice were friends that became enemies.

What if the sugar bowl is just a figurative(?) show of that? Esmé doesn't really care about VFD or arson, she just wants her sugar bowl.

And while we get the 'olaf knows' scene, Esmé probably already knew. It doesn't say 'olaf and esmé know'.

Now hear me out again– Esmé holds out the information, not telling Olaf. In hopes that Beatrice will see that she is trustworthy and give back the sugar bowl.

Esmé was obviously there when the dart was thrown. She was standing directly across from Beatrice. She definitely saw Beatrice throw the dart.

So why do we still get the 'olaf knows' scene? If Esmé was truly evil, wouldn't she immediately tell Olaf so they could incriminate them?

Esmé wants to be trustworthy, she wants to be Beatrice's friend again, she wants to hold the sugar bowl again.

Esmé only hurts the baudelaire children at Olaf's command.

"I helped you chase those orphans through the least in places in the hinterlands" That's what she says. She could care less about revenge.

In Penultimate Peril, Esmé has the opportunity to poison everyone. She doesn't. She genuinely does not want revenge.

(This is definitely less believable than my Poe is an ex-volunteer theory.)

But.. thats just my two cents lol

Is Mr Poe an ex vfd volunteer?

We know that the baudelaire parents threw parties with very specific friend(s), Poe being one of them. All other friend(s) of the baudelaire parents are implied/stated to be ex/current vfd volunteers. Why would they be friend with just a random banker?

Adding on to this, Poe is always there when misfortune falls onto the baudelaire children. As if his presence there causes it. What if it actually did?

Think about it, what startles the baudelaires that leads to Dewey Denoument's death? Poe. Who gets Jacques Snicket arrested and killed? Poe. He is always there.

Who gets the news first? Poe. Who tells the baudelaires about the fire? Poe.

Adding on to @femmefatalegoth Poe is a villain theory, if he wasn't an ex-volunteer, why else would he insist on never listening to the baudelaires? He only listens when indisputable evidence is shown.

Mr Poe gets treated horribly by Olaf when they 'meet', yet he speaks of the count kindly while talking to the children.

If he was an ex-volunteer– he must've left vfd. Why, you may ask, would he have a reason to leave vfd as a volunteer? Easy.

His children. To protect them from vfd recruitment.

Also, what reason would he have to be at the Vile Village? He says he's "running with this crowd!" A vague answer. Likewise, he's familiar with the rules of the VFD village— an old vfd station.

This all makes sense if Poe is an ex-volunteer. Why he knows so much about the baudelaires personal lives? He knew their parents very personally.

A cause for his cough? One theory from popsugar.com suggests it could be from fires he might've helped set. Another personal theory of mine is that it could be to do with the medusiod mycelium. We know it makes you cough a lot as by what happens to Sunny when she ingests it.

Could a younger vfd volunteer Poe be on a mission when he was exposed to the medusiod?

In both the book and the show, one of the lines in "The End" is "at this time Mr. Poe was better known as his stage name" suggesting that he was an actor at some point. Acting is a profession that a lot of vfd volunteer take on.

It is also stated that the baudelaire(s) smell smoke around figuratively (and sometimes literally).

We know that sometimes ex-volunteers that join the 'evil' side of the schism will put on a dumb act as to not be caught. Could this be why Poe is always so stupid?

Anyways.. thats just my two cents!

Reading ASOUE as a child, I didn't end up with a Violet Baudelaire complex (tying my hair up every time I have to think), or a Klaus Baudelaire complex (reading a shit ton of books about everything), but a rarer third thing I like to call a Lemony Snicket complex (I am very very sad, I write, I love desperately, and I still hope for the best)
