When i was 10, I sent a letter to Lemony Snicket. I didn’t receive a personal reply, but I got one of these. 7 years later I realized that there’s a message

ABORT MISSION

This is fucking scary

I dont get it..

@explainingthejoke

The images are of a reply from Lemony Snicket, an author known for his A Series of Unfortunate Events, a book series aimed at older children. The reply is written in the voice of his narrator character. The narrator shares his pen name and frequently writes in vague references to the reader, who is included in the mystery as the correspondent to whom Lemony Snicket is sending his information.

The reply is titled “via VERY FAST DELIVERY.” The letters V.F.D. play a big part in the series. The note reads:

 nly two things are more hazardous than writing to me during these times. They are eating mussels in July and receiving a rep y from me, both of which may leave you feverish, shaking, and alone.

However, it c n also be very uncomfortable to wait day a ter day for a reply that never comes, as I have since my last letter to a dear frie d.

Consequ ntly, I am sending you a lette  containing Very Few Details.

Accept my humble thanks and fervent wishes for your continued safety, as well as the safety of the familiar-looking neighbor with whom you have never spoken.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket

Several letters from this note are deliberately missing. If the reader wrote down each letter that was missing, they would spell out: OLAF NEARBY

Count Olaf is the major villain in the series. Lemony Snicket is writing in code, suggesting that he can’t be candid because Olaf may be observing him or the reader. Creepy!

This isn’t a joke. It is just cute.

Bonus:

I really like how this post shows when something sad happens, Thirteen pockets her hands.

Thirteen’s a lot more touch adverse than her former selves but its less noticeable because she’s so bubbly and friendly. The most she’s done is hug Nadja and then the shoulder pats Ryan and Yaz as gestures of affection (Resolution).

(Holding hands with Yaz as a necessity in ‘It Takes You Away’.)

In ‘It Takes You Away’, its Thirteen herself who feels sad and nostalgic for something she can never have. It’s one of the few times we’re allowed into the Doctor’s head and its so poignant.

Yes, and these also are times when she’s trying to be quiet and gentle.

Usually Thirteen gives off a lot of manic energy: rambling and grinning and running around. Putting her hands in her pockets underlines how careful and deliberate she’s being. 

Part of her is still open, but part of her is also closed off as well – which sums up a lot about Thirteen really.
