Violet mentions in the grim grotto that she does not envision marriage any time soon or romance for that matter,but if she were to have children some day do you think she would make the eldest to promise to take care of his/her siblings considering the burden it cause her?
Or would a better alternative be teach them teamwork like the three Baudelaire children do in the books?

Family comes with responsibilities. Violet may have felt the burden of that responsibility, but I don't think she ever wanted to shift or abandon that burden. With that said - bit of both?

Here is another tangent to consider: assuming she marries Quigley, triplets run in the family. So while technically there would be an "eldest," really, they would all be the same age. Therefore, I am thinking teamwork. As parents, they also may be far less secretive with their children than their parents were with them, considering how much confusion their own parents' secrets caused them.

I agree that they would be more open with any children they had than their parents were with them, but only to an extent; we know, of course, that the Baudelaires kept certain parts of their own story back from Beatrice II. That said, they also clearly told her quite a bit, and certainly a good deal more than their parents confided in them. So I imagine they would try to find a healthy medium between protecting & preparing them -- between truth and secrecy. As Violet herself says, 'Everyone should keep a few secrets.' |

Wasn't quigley swallowed by the great unknown? The Netflix version should be treated as a different continuity.My guess is that if the Baudelaire marry at all would be with completely new characters.

Yes, but after that his fate is unknown; he could absolutely still be alive. If we are to truly treat the Netflix version as a different continuity then TGU remains unknown -- we don't have direct confirmation of what it is, though I grant that ATWQ very heavily implies it to be the, or at least a, Bombinating Beast. However, even if it definitely is a BB then we still don't know for sure what the Quagmires' fate was. They could very well have still escaped from it or perhaps it wasn't even aggressive towards them. Kit, the only witness we have to their exit from the series, is unsure as to whether they were 'swallowed up or rescued by that mysterious thing'. And then t here's a specific line which mentions that the Baudelaires hoped to see various people again when they left the island, and though the idea seemed unlikely to them, it was not impossible.
None of this is to say that the Baudelaires would definitely marry characters we know about already, of course -- who knows if they would ever even have the time/desire to get married at all? -- but it is certainly a possibility.  |
