Lucretia had definitely had taako’s elderflower macarons before the candlenights episode like they’re one of his signature recipes and she had loved them for 100 years 

BUT she also knew that they were his own, secret recipe that no-one else knew so she was like ‘hmm ok if i eat one i have to be sure to react like i’ve never had one of my favourite macarons before, if he thinks i’ve had them before he’ll get suspicious, ok Lucretia just… act… natural’ 

& long story short that’s why ‘hot diggity shit that is a baller cookie’

Lucretia, mentally: nailed it

Taako: haha the whole recipe is in my book!!

Lucretia: …

Lucretia: this pretense has been wholly unnecessary

*later*

Lucretia: *leafing through a newly purchased copy of taako’s cookbook trying to commit to memory which of his recipes she can and cannot admit familiarity with* okay okay okay this is fine okay

penny-anna

*still later*

Lucretia, sweating: *pointing at recipe for a dish taako made almost every week on the starblaster* hey taako… this looks… good… could you make it??

Taako, drinking a milkshake, only half listening: do i look like i work for free

penny-anna

Magnus: why don’t you just make it yourself there’s instructions right there

Lucretia: um

Taako: the director’s a terrible cook

Lucretia, panicking: how do you… know that..

Taako: i can smell it on you

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”.

I’ve wondered the same thing, and as a professional writer and editor, don’t know how he got away with it–like, how were his editors and publisher like, yeah, sure, okay

I actually really liked the little anachronisms of A Series of Unfortunate Events because it adds to the subtle absurdity and abstraction of the story space. 

The whole narrative perfectly constructs this slightly ‘off’ world where three orphans can somehow be passed around the same group of (barely disguised) people from place to place, an infant child can become a gourmet cook before learning to form sentences, etc. In this world, evil is both carried out and vanquished by complete chance, or the intervention of deus ex machina that actually never feels out of place because of just how weird everything else is. Why wouldn’t a Scooby Doo-esque button be concealed in a village statue in a world where a man can burn a mansion down with a strategically placed mirror? Why not have a narrator define words at random, but only ever in a single context, if said narrator is also going to devote an entire page to the word ‘ever’?

It’s just the same with the date; the things that happen to the Baudelaire children are the product of a backwards world, and in their perennial adolescence they too seem to be a little unstuck in time. Count Olaf has an outdated title, but despite being anchored to this by his very name he floats between a frankly unmatched number of false identities. It’s just one of many characteristics of a series that does the absurd/unsettling exceptionally well at every level.

I like it too. It’s an “unreality.” It’s not that writers can’t do it and can’t do it well, it’s that I feel like a lot of them don’t actually get the permission to do it. And it’s awesome that this author got away with it.
