Wassup! Mr Mentally Ill Is Back With Another ASOUE Opinion!~
Wassup! Mr mentally ill is back with another ASOUE opinion!~
I really didn't know that this was an unpopular opinion, but who cares?
Neither side of VFD was completely correct. Neither side of VFD was completely wrong. Both sides of VFD have good and bad.
That, in my opinion, is the point of the series. Everyone is capable of corruption. The 'noble' volunteers aren't opposed to murder. The 'evil' arsonists aren't opposed to saving someone.
VFD is not a cult. Volunteer Fire Department. You might say "but mr mentally ill! tons of cults use the term volunteer to indoctrinate!"
And to that I bring you the last scene in S3 E4. Kit Snicket says "I can take you to the Last Safe Place if that's still what you want to go."
Notice what specific words she uses: *if*. She doesn't say "I will take you to the Last Safe Place since that's were you want to go."
If VFD was a cult, they would use words to make you feel like you want it.
Now going back to the 'evil' side of VFD. Esmé is on the 'evil' side, but if you've seen my sugar bowl theory, you know I don't believe she's evil.
I'll bring up a point I made in that post: Esmé only wants the sugar bowl. She could care less about hurting people. If they gave her the sugar bowl, she would've probably stayed in VFD.
Olaf just wants revenge. Fernald no longer believes in VFD. The only two characters who are evil with no explanation are the man with the beard but no hair and the woman with hair but no beard.
Back to Fernald: he actively states "there is no wrong side of the schism". This is literally word for word! No theory needed!
For me, it reminds me of SHEILD from the MCU, especially with the 'evil' growing inside of it.
But hey! That's just my two cents!

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!)
Logan: I made tea.
Roman: I don’t want tea.
Logan: I did not make tea for you. This is my tea.
Roman: Then why are you telling me?
Logan: It is a conversation starter.
Roman: That’s a lousy conversation starter.
Logan: Oh, is it? We are conversing. Checkmate.


Avengers Endgame, but Team New York went forward in time instead of back in time on accident.
I had this idea in my head for awhile, and since this is the year that Endgame is supposed to take place, I thought it’d be time to make this.
