IN A LAND OF TERRIBLE THINGS , WILD THINGS roared their terrible roars , gnashed their terrible teeth & showed their terrible claws. they crowned a most terrible KING who swore to them no sadness would ever come. they played & played until the king GREW from childhood to terrible adult. who became just as wild as them. who roared his terrible roar , gnashed his terrible teeth , & showed his terrible claws. EYES OF CRIMSON , SOUL OF GOLD.

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 !
