Summary:

“Grammatically Correct Lemon: He’s a… friend of mine, from back home.

force of courage: GASP

smol fucker: le gasp

shut up all of you: YOU HAVE FRIENDS OTHER THAN US????”

Lemony Snicket has the brilliant idea to make a groupchat for his new friends. Involves dumb names, too much grammar, too little grammar, brunch, incredible powers of memorization, and memes. So many memes.

Notes:

for the stain’d squad section, because most of their usernames are different there:

Pip: taxi toddler #1

Squeak: taxi toddler #2

Jake: Designated Mom Friend

Kevin: sword gay

Florence: don’t call me flo

Oliver: it’s an AMPHIBIAN

Moxie: force of courage

Also, this takes place after most of FU:13SI and before SYBIS, which is why Kellar and Ornette aren’t here, and also why Lemony doesn’t talk about VFD outright.

Work Text:

E. Feint: the fuck kinda name is this

L. Snicket: It’s a good one! It’s got wordplay, professionalism…

E. Feint: i can do better

( E. Feint renamed The Association of Associates to The Association of Dumb Names )

L. Snicket: How is that better?

C. Knight: good luck adding pip and squeak to a chat and expecting “professionalism”

L. Snicket: Wait, is “professionalism” a real word? I’m not sure. 

P. Bellerophon: omg what are you doing

L. Snicket: What? Am I doing something wrong?

P. Bellerophon: he’s 

P. Bellerophon: he’s actually using grammar

M. Mallahan: WHAT

L. Snicket: What’s wrong with using grammar?

L. Snicket: I’m so sorry to do this to all of you, but…

L. Snicket: Inside you there are two wolves.

M. Mallahan: NO STOP

L. Snicket: One of them, due to your… unusual education, recoils at the idea of imperfect grammar.

P. Bellerophon: oh so it’s an Unusual Education thing

L. Snicket: The other one wants desperately to be a memelord.

L. Snicket: You are Lemony Snicket. 

S. Bellerophon: man FUCK your unusual education

L. Snicket: It’s not that bad.

force of courage: DAMN

shut up all of you: if your gonna be that way then

Grammatically Correct Lemon: Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway, because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.

Grammatically Correct Lemon: Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Coming! Hang on a second. Hello? Barry? Adam? 

Grammatically Correct Lemon: Can you believe this is happening? I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's.
