reading this book years and years later is wild. the shit that happens and some of what olaf says are so fucked up 😃 like?? the lowkey grooming and attempted murder and all that?? this is some grown up content for a children’s book

“Count Olaf had taken out a bottle of wine to pour himself some breakfast. . .” okay but same

“Some mornings, his father would come into Klaus's room to wake him up and find him asleep, still clutching his flashlight in one hand and his book in the other.” i swear, these books are one of the reasons i fell in love with reading as a kid

i blame these books for my smartass-ness and extreme sarcasm, i stg

the way count olaf tries to marry violet 😭✋🏼

the amount of coughing mr. poe does cannot be healthy ✋🏼
