S Theodora Markson - Tumblr Posts

I once had a dream in which a poster for the ATWQ Netflix series was released, and it was terrible.

And when I say terrible, I mean it was a set-in-present-day-America, typical-teen-drama, riverdale-ised mess. Oh, and the casting, costume design, hair and makeup were ghastly: Lemony looked like any random annoying boy you’d see in the school playground, (and they got rid of his hat!) Moxie was Black and Ornette wasn’t, Moxie was also dressed super informal and girly, and Ellington’s hair was red and Theodora’s was short and neat.

Suffice it to say that I am praying that isn’t how it actually turns out.

Asoue for ask game? :D

Since there was another request for ASOUE, I’ll do ATWQ.

Blorbo: Ellington Feint my beloved ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎❤️‍🔥💕💞💓💗💖💘💝

Scrunkly: Pip, Squeak and Moxie, major cinnamon rolls.

Scrimblo Bimblo: Jake. He’s talked about, but not nearly enough.

Glup Shitto: All of the FU:13SI kids.

Poor Little Meow Meow: Theodora seemed so stressed out all the time and Lemony was terrible to her, poor girl.

Horse Plinko: Lemony, I loathe him with every ounce of my being.

Eeby Deeby: Stew Mitchum. Who else?

𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆:....yea

𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗮: good. i'm here to keep it that way.

Lemony’s relationships with Theodora and Moxie are both subversions of the ‘Holmes and

Watson’ trope as it is traditionally found, in which a highly intelligent but arrogant and somewhat manipulative detective is accompanied by a close friend who admires them greatly and narrates the story.

First: Lemony and Theodora. Lemony is Theodora’s apprentice, and is therefore technically in a position of lower status to her. From Theodora’s perspective, this makes her the Holmes figure, and him the Watson, which is backed up by the fact that Lemony is the one to narrate the story. However, although Theodora has the almost narcissistic self-confidence and the tendency to keep Lemony in the dark, she lacks the academic intelligence and detective skills of a true Holmes figure, and Lemony does the vast majority of the work, mainly without her. It is quite possible that Theodora deliberately opts out of cases and lets Lemony take care of them due to the insecurity she hides behind her arrogant exterior, subverting the arrogant part of the Holmes archetype and adding a creative edge to the aspect of manipulation.

Secondly, Lemony and Moxie. They have a far more traditional Holmes and Watson relationship, with all the traditional aspects. They are good friends, Moxie admires Lemony greatly, he quite often uses her and keeps her in the dark about things but she stays loyal nonetheless, they have vague romantic subtext, and the scene where they meet at Handkerchief Heights in ?1 is even a homage to Sherlock Holmes story The Hound Of The Baskervilles, which interestingly enough also features a villainous naturalist and local legends regarding monsters being used by the villain to frighten people and conceal his scheme. One of the main things that sets them apart from traditional incarnations of the trope is that despite the fact that she constantly writes everything down, she does not in fact narrate the story. In other words, she fulfils the role of a classic Watson figure in every way except for the most important one.

My wrong opinions. Except for Ellington, she should be legally obliged to be everyone’s favourite.

I made a favorite character picker for Snicketverse! just select your faves from each group and then screenshot the tier list it makes whenever you want. heres my top row!

feel free to screenshot your top results in the rbs, im really curious who's most popular :0

Tilda Swinton by Glen Luchford (2010)

Atwq characters summed up by me

Lemony Snicket: a nerd but plotting your murder, probably via sarcasm

Moxie mallahan: tiny and cute but will fight you

Cleo knight: badass chemist extraordinaire nerdo

Jake Hix: ruler of the cinnamon rolls

Ellington feint: could punch me in the face and I’d say thank you 

Ornette lost: gay origami hipster

Kellar Haines: second in command of the cinnamon rolls. Tries to be cool but is a nerd, must be protected at all costs.

Kit snicket: actual gryffindor stereotype, cute but sneaky

Jacques snicket: the one everyone forgets about, also a nerd

Stew Mitchum: the cliche jock bully stereotype but murderous

Hangfire: good dad but deeply flawed human being

Theodora: misunderstood sad dust mop
