This piece will take place right after the events of ATWQ, with Lemony questioning his morals and having to reconstruct his image of himself and his fellow comrades. We all know that this experience didn’t quite make him rebel against VFD and everything it represents, but the grain of doubt strongly lodged itself deep inside of him, and made him into a broken and miserable man we all know and love
True to his nature he was an absolute pain in the ass to draw. idk what is it about his face i don’t like, but i’ve been relining him over and over for the last two days and i’ve had enough. I’m gonna move on to Kit and maybe revisit his face sometime later.
ps Madeline Duke’s How Villains Are Made turned on spontaneously when i was bloodying the hands
What if “The Little Snicket Lad” was made up by Jacques and Kit when they were children to explain the story of their recruitment to little Lemony?
This would explain why the song does not name E. Snicket. Because Jacques and Kit may not have known their mother’s name. Only her initial.
It would also explain the mentions of Robber Road and the cattle farm despite Robber Road being on the other side of the county, and Lemony actually being born on a dairy farm. Jacques and Kit were just mentioning a random street name they remembered from their early childhood. And when Lemony was born, they wouldn’t have known the difference between a cattle farm and a dairy farm. They just saw the cows.
It would also explain the mentions of silk diapers and a silver crib. This would have been Jacques and Kit either teasing Lemony, or embellishing their memories of their early childhood with their parents to their little brother, who had none.
you don’t have to wait until you’re 100% ready. it’s okay to be scared and maybe a bit unsure. if you wait until you’re ready, you’ll be waiting your whole life and you’ll miss a lot of opportunities in the process
“If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.”
“Certain people have said that the world is like a calm pond, and that anytime a person does even the smallest thing, it is as if a stone has dropped into the pond, spreading circles of ripples further and further out, until the entire world has been changed by one tiny action.”
What is a word you learned from a book that you absolutely love?
Mine is Penultimate. A word which here means ‘second to last’. It’s the best word. I don’t know why. But I love it. And this is the book I learned it from!
