What she says: I’m fine
What she means: What time period does A Series of Unfortunate Events actually take place? There is mention of horse-drawn carriages, but also of motor cycles and automobiles, but the way the three Baudelaires dress is indicative of the nineteen hundred-something’s. Characters are dressed in both early twentieth century clothing as well as up to date clothing. There is mention of computers, fax, and phones but some things seem rather dated. What time in history is it??
I remember reading an interview with Lemony Snicket when I was a kid, where they basically asked him that exact question.
His answer was “the year of the Rat”.
when i watched the film i was extra confused because i thought they were Victorian but count olaf was drinking a slurpee so i just lost all sense of direction
I think that’s the point
Lemony Snicket’s entire career was based on fucking with everyone
theres internet but the world is still steampowered
“gay couples should be allowed to show affection/pda/kiss at pride” and “kink doesn’t belong at pride, especially not events with minors” are not contradictory statements and idk why y’all think they are
sex/sexuality have historically been a part of the lgbt movement and a gay couple kissing is a revolutionary form of protest because of how our sexuality has been criminalized in the past (and present). y’all equating a lesbian couple sharing one kiss in public to someone turning up to pride in a gag and harness is literally employing the same rhetoric used by homophobes to criminalize gay sexuality
and i want to make it 100% clear when i say “kink doesn’t belong at pride” i am referring to the fact that kinksters are not inherently lgbt or part of the ~~queer community~~. you can be lgbt and into kink and you can be cishet and into kink. in no universe is kink equivalent to being gay/trans and being into kink does not make you queer
