for the character opinion bingo thingy:

ornette lost?

Ornette Lost was a character with enough potential in her skills, backstory and potential VFD involvement to become a main character on the same level as Moxie or Ellington, but it seems Daniel Handler thought her up a bit too late so she ended up just sort of decorating the story without much room for character development. I don’t even have many headcanons about her. The only thing that stood out to me about her is how much more Daniel Handler could have done.

In the town where I grew up, there was a large statue in one of the parks, of a famous historical white colonizer. I'm not going to say who specifically, suffice it to say that it was someone who wasn't worth memorializing for their deeds. And as you can imagine, this statue was a frequent target of vandalism, with paint or toilet paper or eggs on multiple occasions. Now, the local council was generally pretty lax when it came to repairing potholes or other public damage in the town, but every time, 24 hours after this particular statue was hit, the same person would always appear in a Hi-Vis vest, hat, mask and sunglasses, carrying a bucket of water, and wash it clean. They would do it as quickly as possible, but always made sure the face and the name carved at the bottom were generously scrubbed. This only encouraged people to do it again, and so it became a vicious cycle.

Within a year, the statue had sustained so much damage that it was unrecognizable and the lettering unreadable, so eventually the council came and took it down. Also apparently, the person in the Hi-Vis vest didn't even work for the council. They were supposedly just some 'good samaritan' who cleaned it, often before the council even discovered it needed cleaning, so they just let them do it and ignored the problem. They didn't bother putting the statue up again.

Much later, we found out that the anonymous 'samaritan' had been deliberately washing the statue with a bucket of saltwater, which had dramatically corroded it, causing irreversible accumulative damage far worse than spray paint ever would have done. It's even theorized that they were also often the one spray-painting it, just so that they had an excuse to come back after a day to wash it.

Happy Pride guys!

Happy Pride!

Just thinking about how tragic it is that Ellington only betrayed Lemony out of loyalty to someone else: her father. Ellington wasn’t a bad person, and however much Lemony idolised her and put her on a pedestal, he didn’t mean as much to her and as a result was hurt by her perfectly good actions and intentions. He was collateral damage; someone she didn’t know too well who she needed to hurt to protect those she truly loved.
