୨୧╼ Life was not all puppies and rainbows, even as much as one wish it were. Often reality was often cruel and unforgiving. Yet Violet could not give up hope for a peaceful and happy existence. Or else the tragedy she endured and atrocities she committed to survive would be for naught. In Beatrice’s best interest she decided to settle down. Even if it meant she had to disguise herself and become someone else. All that mattered was her daughter felt secure and experience joy. 

        Klaus had managed to get into Harvard. While technically he submitted his application with falsified documentation, he was more than qualified. It was merely out of necessity for them – as being on the run since you were children didn’t give you the best references and schooling on paper. Sunny had gotten into an accredited cooking school overseas. Violet was happy to see both her siblings thrive, but she was having a harder time adjusting.

       Massachusetts was a pleasant enough place to settle. After all the horrors she had experienced she found little to complain about. Harvard’s campus was beautiful. A wonderful place to wait to pick up Klaus while she scribbled about new inventions in her common place book. The bench Violet usually sat out was occupied by another. With a polite smile, she approached them. “Do you mind if I sit next to you? I am meeting my brother in this area – and this bench has the best visibility.”

@intothemacabre ୨୧ starter call. 

the awkwardness of being helped by someone very nice but also extremely incompetent. Idk what to do. 😭

୨୧╼ ribbonup. a mutually exclusive book canon post - series violet baudelaire of lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events. open to a variety of aus and verses. as haunted by phantom (she/her&36). previously found @prettydead. 

Violet, despite being a volunteer and considered a protagonist, has committed a variety of crimes. She:

Interfered with a train's destination in the film, although she would have been killed by it if she and her younger siblings did nothing.

Opened Stephano's briefcase in The Reptile Room and took his items, although her intentions were to prove her uncle's death was a murder and not a snakebite.

Stole a sailboat in The Wide Window in order to save her aunt, although she wanted to borrow it and it was owned by Count Olaf.

Hitchhiked without the driver's permission in the TV series.

Broke many rules of Prufrock Preparatory School and had Isadora Quagmire impersonate her so she could skip a S.O.R.E. meeting in order to study for a crucial exam.

Broke Rule #62 of the Village of Fowl Devotees: "No citizen is allowed to build or use any mechanical devices." - Violet secretly assisted Hector with the construction of his mobile home.

Broke rule #1,742 of the Village of Fowl Devotees: "No one is allowed to escape from jail." - Violet broke out of jail during The Vile Village, although she was wrongfully imprisoned and she would have been burned at the stake.

Hitchhiked a ride in the trunk of Olaf's car without permission to avoid asphyxiation coupled with being arrested by the police in the TV series.

Aided in burning down Caligari Carnival in order to travel with Olaf's group.

Pretended to be a staff member (a concierge) of Hotel Denouement, despite not being legally employed there.

Burnt down the Hotel Denouement (as a signal to fellow VFD members), likely killing many people inside.

Is guilty of indirect manslaughter (Count Olaf tossed a harpoon gun into her hands, which Violet accidentally slips and sets off, killing Dewey Denouement).

Partially responsible for infecting the Islanders with the Medusoid Mycelium poison and potentially killing them, as she knew it was brought to the island and kept it a secret from the Islanders.
