olaf is the prime example of a genuinely bad character who did a few good deeds in his life and doesnt get redeemed because of it. the baudelaires did not mourn for him. they buried him because to them, they felt thats what they should do. they still hated him. count olafs ending is not an excuse to crown him your “uwu precious angel who was misunderstood.” he is a bad person who had a few good moments. dont romanticize his abuse of the baudelaires just because he carried kit to the island.
I think they buried him because watching a corpse decompose is traumatizing and unhygienic. Plus it would not smell good at all.
Burying him was more their gift to themselves than any commentary on his worth as a character.
It’s incredibly important to take account of your thought and behavior patterns. I have been psycho analyzing people for years, and it is so easy to see other people’s ways of thought and action and be hyper-critical of them. But lately I’ve been trying to see myself from that same lens. Looking at my own problematic behaviors and fixing them before they happen. It’s so easy to be fast and lash out in spontaneity. But to sit back and dissect what it is that upsets you in that moment, instead of immediately reacting, has been saving my serenity.
One mindset that stuck with me from this year was “Never let it disturb your peace”
Because in the end, why are you so bothered? Like why bother letting dumb shit get to you.
So in 2019 I wanna carry the mindset of not letting anything fuck up my peace.
