The series ended with an open and ambiguous ending,and most fans seem content with that, but what is your personal theory about the future of the Baudelaire?
For what I've investigated some fans interpret the mention of Klaus lying awake many years,violet third return to briny beach, and sunny appearing on the radio as proof that they eventually clear their names and live reasonably happy lives,but is that the case?
Let's start with Klauss. I think the problem is that some interpret it as that he is in his home and he could not have bougth a house while being a wanted criminal but could he not be lying in a cheap motel bed while on the lam? Or in a prison cell? Violet could have returned to briny beach after the Beatrice sunk. sunny may have used a fake name, or anagram even more depressing there are many shows that interview prisoners inside jail could this also be the case?
On another note do you think the Baudelaire are together or separate? It would be inordinate sad if they separated after the Beatrice sunk and never Se each other again.
although after everything they been trough they certainly deserve a happy ending, I think that would go against the tone of the books no happy endings not here not now What you guys think?
I think I would prefer them all to be together, though you could call that too happy an ending, too. But I'd be content with them all being together in death, also.
Realistically? I think Snicket was trying to allude to the Baudelaires dying when "Beatrice Sank", which was maybe shortly before Kit's daughter, Beatrice, started contacting him to help her find them.
What do I hope? I hope the children are all alive, living their lives, and their names have been cleared. But that doesn't quite make sense to me, because I would think Beatrice would be able to find them. Where are they if she can't find them, but they are still alive?
Faith is being sure about what we hope for, being convinced about things we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16
I'm confused. I thought that TBL made cannon that they survived (do some fans think that they died on the shipwreck?) if a baby survived how could they not, but you are absolutely right. if they survived and collected the fortune they should be pretty easy to find.
TBL strongly suggests that Sunny is still alive, but we know essentially nothing about young Beatrice's early life or her situation when writing her first letter, and so there is enormous room for interpretation. What is clear is that she has been separated from the Baudelaires for a long time, and that Lemony Snicket doesn't want to meet with her. There is a conclusion which can be drawn from that.

I absolutely believe that they are alive — there are so many things which point to this/outright confirm that they at least survived beyond their voyage to the mainland, as you mentioned already. And I also believe that they managed to stay together. They always made that their priority.
As to what they are doing, I think that’s just entirely up to each reader to decide for themselves. I personally imagine that they would have returned to VFD, or whatever remains of it, and are ‘engaged in brave errands to this day’, as Snicket mentions they might be in The End. I think they would be trying to make the world a better place day by day, and that they would be gathering information still on all sorts of things. Of course they would still be inventing, researching, and cooking. I think they would be as happy as they ever could be, but that is not to say that I think their lives would be nothing but sunshine and roses: indeed, I think misery and misfortune would probably still be their frequent companions, but they would be more secure, and able to be more independent than ever before, and that they wouldn’t be constantly on the run/terrified for their lives as they were for so much of ASOUE. And personally, I like to think they would have been reunited with the Quagmires and perhaps some of their other friends and acquaintances.
That might all sound too much of a happy ending, but I don’t see it like that: I think it’s happy enough, but that really their lives will always echo with the sorrows of their past, and indeed with the trials and tribulations that any involvement in VFD seems to bring. Bittersweet, I guess.
I never really have any credence to the idea that the Baudelaires didn't survive, save for a really embarrassing time when I was a particularly edgy preteen who wanted any reason to excuse my enjoyment of a "children's story."
As for what I do believe- I believe they reached land, albeit scattered and separated. I think they'll have almost entirely disengaged from VFD. I'd like to believe Snicket will reunite the family someday. I think they'd offer Snicket an out, and a new home. A new family. But he'd decline. I don't think he is really capable of leaving the VFD anymore.

Optimism is my Phil-osophy: If Dante were that dinosaur, I'd be very proud of myself for not guessing the location of the last Spyfall.

Tiran O'Saurus: At Prufrock? I think they just stayed in school. Some were rowing on Olaf's submarine, so he might have doubled back and kidnapped them.

Hego Tablespoon: Hmm. Well, I suppose we can conclude a handful of the students of Prufrock hit rock bottom.
