You are the eldest Baudelaire child," they had said, kindly but firmly. "And as the eldest, it will a l w a y s be your responsibility to look after your younger siblings."

                                                      IT  is  not  her  brother  that perturbs  him  so,  RATHER  the  task  of  finding  out  who  MADE  such  weapons  — her  brother,  BLESS  his  soul  was  perhaps  LACKING  in  some  areas  of  expertise  when  talking  to  General  Washington,  READING  words  off  the  palm  of  hand  as  if  someone  else  had  instructed  him.  Alexander’s  job  was  SIMPLE :  to  ensure  that  the  ARMY  was  in fact,  NOT  working  with  TRAITORS  that  perhaps,  against  ALL  odds  Alexander  had  just  SIMPLY  misread  the  gestures  of  her  brother,
                                                           ❛❛  —  I  believe  that  we  have  become  even  more  paranoid  in  these  times  Miss   Roueliiae   …   WAR     has  a pretty  way  of  doing  just  that.  ❜❜  HE   too   avoiding  her  inquiry  like  the  plague.  INSTEAD  a  moment  of  silence  as  the  sound  of  LEAVES  shifting  in  the wind  can  be  heard,  and  one  would  swear  that  a  SIGH  is  given  out  by  the  EARTH  as  she  goes  to  give  thanks  that  NO  blood  has  been  split  upon  her  ground.  HAIR  on  the  back  of  neck  stands ( he never did  well with the QUIETNESS of it  all ),  and  he  CONTINUES  once  more,   ❛❛  This  war  has  changed  us     ALL    … ❜❜

                                                LEANS  back  in  chair  as  chair  creaks  from  the sound of  weight  shifting,   ❛❛  Do  you    still     BELIEVE  in  the  cause ? Acts  as  if  the  two  of  them  are  having  a  PRIVATE  confession;  and   HE  the  priest.  RUTHLESS  nature  getting  the  better  of  him  when  he  realizes  that  he  will  stop  at  NOTHING  to  get  the  truth,  ❛❛  Surely … ❜❜ A  SMALL inkling  of  a  smile  ghosts  upon  lips,   ❛❛  THIS  isn’t  the  way you  saw  your  life  going …  ❜❜

                                        breath   T R E M O R S    slightly    as    he   carries    on   ,    hitching    when   the   chair   creaks    .     TOO CLOSE     .   He   was   too   close   to   the   truth  .   KLAUS   could    come   down   any   moment   ,   clueless   as    to   the   nature   of   their   guest   -   SUNNY   could    wake   up   wailing   ,   secrets   from   nightmares  spilling   off   her    tongue    . 

                                     Eyes    look   anywhere   but   his   .   It    is  late   ,   and   rude   of   him   to   wear   out   his   welcome   .    This    is   what   she   will   say   to   see   him   from   her   hearth   and   back   from   whence   he  came   .  She   will   answer   him   this   one   question   -    wet   his   palette   ,    and   bid    him    g o o d n i g h t   .    For   how   could   he   suspect   her   ?    HOW   COULD   HE   KNOW   ?   The  only   evidence  he  might   claim  is   that   which   would   come   forth   from    her    weary   head  -   and   she   would   not   let    that   abide   .

                                       The  h i s s i n g   sound    of    water   meeting   hot   iron   pulls   her   from  the   formulation   of   her   plan   and   she   jolts   up   ,   removing    the   kettle    from   the    stove    and   placing   it   on    a   cool   slab    of    stone    below   .    THE  TEA   ,   SHE   FORGOT   ABOUT   THE   TEA   .    How   to   bid   him   goodnight   when   he   hasn’t    yet    received   her   token   of   hospitality   ?

                               Grimace   mars   otherwise  pleasant   facial   features    as    she   ruminates   on   his   question   and   prepares   the   tea    ,   placing   loose  leaves   into  what   appears   to   be   a   large   infuser   attached   to  the   handle   of    the   kettle   .    An   invention   of   her   own   (   of   ‘  VLADS   ’   if   her   secrets   were   to   survive    this    night   .    )  

                                                 it   is   N O T   ,     no   .     But   we   all   do   what   we   must   to   garner   our  f r e e d o m   ,   to   gain   respect   .   My   family    still   fights   for   the   cause   .   Surely   you   must    know   that   to   be   true   .    Have   the   weapons   my   brother   provides    not   been   to   the   troops   satisfaction   ,  is   that   why   you’ve   come   this   night   ?

                                    the   question  leaves   her   lips   in    an   innocent   tone   as   trembling    hands    place    the    infuser    in   the   kettle   ,    she    grabs   two   mugs   from   a   shelf   beside    her   and   wraps    the    cloth   of   her   nightgown   around   her   palm    ,   pouring    the    brew   and   bringing   them    back   to   where    he    sits   .   Gently   she   places    his   beside   him  and   precociously    takes   her   seat    once   more   ,   gaze   focusing   on   the   light   reflecting   off    the   liquid   in   her   own    cup   ,   brows   knitted   tightly   as   she   nervously   awaits   his   response   .

               alright  kiddos,   strap  in,   ‘cause  this  is  gonna  get  hella.   i’m  also  tagging  kai   (  @elclest  ),   because  she  told  me  about  this  theory  so  she  may  have  stuff  she  wants  to  add  !   there  are  many  assumptions  to  this  theory,   the  chief  of  which  is:   B  &  B  WERE  GOING  TO  LEAVE  THE  VFD,   &   withhold  their  children  from  the  organization.   this  is  also  assuming  my  version  of  kit,   not  the  fanon   “distraught   &   pregnant”   noble  one,   but  that’s  beside  the  point.

               now,   daniel  has  already  said  that  the  vfd  was  meant  to  be  like   SCIENTOLOGY,   a  very  controversial,   almost  cult-like  religious  group.   they’re  known  for  making  it  hard  for  their  members  to  leave,   among  other  things.   given  that  vfd  has  condoned  the  murder  of  parents  before,   kidnaps  children  regularly   &   tattoos,   murdering  members  who  decide  to  leave  ?   NOT  OUTSIDE  THE  REALM  OF  POSSIBILITY.

                so,   the  baudelaires  call  kit  over  to  discuss  their  leaving  the  organization,   because  by  this  point  kit  is  sort  of  in  charge  of  most  things.   as  much  as  one  can  be  in  charge  of  a  dwindling,   fragmented  organization.   the  children  are  sent  to  the  beach  so  as  not  to  meet  kit,   who  is  always  very  selective  about  the  people  who  get  to  know  her  name   (  especially  now  ).   but  the  baudelaires  —-  NAMELY  THE  BAUDELAIRE  FORTUNE,   which  isn’t  really  theirs  according  to  the  canon  of  this  blog  but  hey  —-  their  money  is  important  to  the  fire  fighting  side.   they  need  that  to  keep  going.   &   kit  won’t  allow  their  side  to  lose  it.

                so  the  solution:   kill  the  baudelaires,   set  the  house  on  fire,   frame  olaf  /  fire  starting  side  for  it,   then  send  the  kids  to  stay  with  montgomery,   a  trusted  fire  fighter,   &   their  fortune  is  kept  in  the  hands  of  the  vfd.

                 ELCLEST IS OPENING UP COMMISSIONS ! 

HELLO MY LOVES ! after about a month of playing around with the idea i’ve officially decided to open up RP commissions for theme backgrounds, icons, promos, and help with coding. I’m in desperate need of money right now as I need to pay for matting/plexiglass/framing for my upcoming BFA show, general art supplies (mostly film for my photo class), and just general cost of living stuff. 

s/b: get a job !!!!!! >: ||||| me: I am currently a college student taking 22 credit hours. That’s ABOVE maximum credit hours that most schools allow. Most of these courses are studio courses that require 6-12 hours outside of class every week. I cannot handle this kind of academic load AND a job without literally putting my mental health in a blender. Commissions are currently my only mean of income without burdening my parents who are also in a financially tight situation. 
NOTE: If you don’t want a commission but would like to donate me money anyways that would be super appreciated. I’m in a pretty tight spot right now and have holds I need to pay off on my student account, as well as a ticket that I promised to help my parents with the cost of. You can donate by going to my ko-fi here

BACK TO COMMISSIONS !  okay so here’s the drill. I have THREE SLOTS open for the month of APRIL, these slots are first come first serve and once they are full I will not take any more commissions until I’m ready or the month is over. If you want to commission me to do work simply roll into my tumblr IM’s and let me know ! commissions are open to both mutuals and non-mutuals

When you ask for the commission please specify what you would like done (bg, icons, coding, promos, etc.) and be prepared to answer questions concerning your character, aesthetics, budget, time, etc. 

All payments will be made to my paypal, and I will not ask for payment until you are satisfied with your commission. Throughout the process I will be sending you updates and asking your opinion of the work - this way I can make sure that it’s 100% what you want

That’s all the basic information, more information on pricing and examples of my work under the cut !
