conundrum-esoterica:

As a fandom we don’t talk enough about this theory though. And i never do a lot of analyses in this blog, but i did a lot, over the years in a small blue notebook sitting in my library waiting to shine. 

So it’s your time to shine little blue notebook, because i really want to share all of the theories i wrote there over the years. 

I think that every asoue fan, thought about that at least once in their life. It’s a theory that makes sense. Beatrice met (and married) Bertrand in a short period after her break up with Lemony, so it’s not impossible. Maybe Lemony and Beatrice had an… ugh… tender night, she broke up with him after that (we dont know why, but still) and some weeks (?) ago she ended up with daddy Baudelaire. Boom. 

This explains a lot of things. 

• Why Lemony feels so dedicated to the Baudelaire children and especially to Violet. Yes i always thought that Lemony discriminates Violet, in some ways. He gives to her a little more attention than Klaus and Sunny. He seems to be really ‘‘fascinated’‘ by her, but not in the disgusting, creepy and sexual way Olaf is. Of course she’s the daughter of his lost beauty, and also Violet is a beauty herself and she makes a strong reflection of Beatrice in a lot of ways, but what if Lemony just feels a fatherly love towards her?
• Why Violet remembers Jacques. Maybe when she was still a baby, Beatrice went to the Snickets with her, so they could meet their baby niece. 
• Why Kit was so tender with Violet, when she tied up her hair. She couldn’t tell her anything (about Lemony being her father) of course, everything was already too messed up at this moment. But she had a sweet moment with her niece. 
• Why Beatrice wanted specifically to name her first born after Lemony. But her first born was a girl so they probably named Violet after someone else of the family, but why she didn’t gave the name to Klaus? She didn’t want to give the name ‘’Lemony’’ to one of her childrens, but in her first born children. 

Also i think that this theory fits pretty well with the ‘’Count Olaf is Beatrice Jr’s real father’’. As @snicketsleuth pointed out in one of their theories, asoue is full of reflections (the whole ‘’reflection theme’’ in the 12th book is a pretty good metaphor for this). 

Lemony being Violet’s father, and Olaf being Beatrice Jr’s father, is two similar events. Two ambiguous characters, being in a relationship with a woman. The woman gets pregnant and after that they break up. They end up with another man (Dewey, Bertrand). Their child is a girl. And both mothers die at the end. 

It’s the exact same situation.

 If Violet is Lemony’s daughter that explains Olaf’s creepy attraction to her too. She reminds him of Beatrice (i always thought that younger Olaf was in love with Beatrice. I think in the third book of ATWQ Lemony saw a graffiti‘’Olaf is in love with B.’’??? Or something like that??? I’m not sure about that it’s been so long since i read ATWQ for the last time, if i’m wrong correct me) but she also reminds him of Kit. It is possible that she maybe has some characteristics of Kit. So he reminds him both of Beatrice and Kit. 

He couldn’t have Beatrice. He couldn’t have Kit. So he didn’t just tried to steal her fortune by marrying her, but also make a victory and finally be with one Baudelaire/Snicket girl. Yikes. 

The whole theory of Violet being actually a Snicket creates so much dramatic irony through the series. And also there’s more dramatic irony on the Baudelaires raising their worst enemy’s daugter.

Sounds like a soap opera, but make so much sense. 

Give me your ideas too people!

Also I mean, they had to go out there and give show Violet the exact same blue eyes Lemony has when Klaus and Sunny have brown ones. How convenient lol

The timing is ambiguous enough for it to work. 

The real fuel for the theory in my book is Kit telling Violet in 12.2:

“You look just like your father.” Kit sighed. “He wore the same frown whenever he was
confused, although he almost never tied his hair up in a ribbon when he solved a problem…”

Kit would have spent a fair bit of time with Bertrand, but this sounds very much like something a sister who believes her brother to be dead would say to her niece. 

ALSO there is a lot of Lemony being associated with breaking the gender norms in ATWQ. “Almost never” implies that Violet’s father would occasionally wear a hair ribbon. This is consistent with the Lemony we get to know in ATWQ. We do not see enough of Bertrand to know whether or not he would be comfortable breaking gender norms, especially on more than one occasion. 

Regardless of whether or not Violet actually is Lemony’s child, Kit may believe that Violet is her niece.
