this is so not the point of ur post hfjshfjsjsks but what's the mr poe coughing theory??
no you’re good!! I almost included a link to it bc I know not everyone has seen it (the theory or soue). but anyway!
There’s a theory that his constant coughing (which often tends to happen when the kids need him) is a metaphor for him being unfit to help Violet/Sunny/Kalus. And Dana’s allergies reminded me of that. Like I couldn’t help but laugh when she came in Ali’s classroom and announced herself by sneezing. We’re supposed to take that seriously?
for those who are unfamiliar with a series of unfortunate events: Mr. Poe is in charge of making sure three children are safe with a guardian after their parents are presumed dead. He’s really bad at the job. He genuinely thinks he’s doing well but he’s very incompetent. He has a cough throughout the entire series that never gets better.
