I personally would NOT appreciate being stuck with a person who is extremely anxious. I get anxious over small things like presenting in class, but cooking? Answering the phone? REALTORS? Come on, Josephine.

Come on, Josephine. I don't usually get anxious over class presentations (after all, this is something I've had time to prepare and people I know). Answering the phone, however, is a somewhat scary social situation because it just comes right out of the blue, and the person on the other end has had time to prepare while I haven't. That said, I wouldn't marry J, either. I like grammar and appreciate its correct usage, but I wouldn't want to spend my life with someone who feels obliged to point it out every time someone makes an obscure grammatical mistake. Oh, and also her betrayal of the Baudelaires, I guess. |

I am on Josephine's side when it comes to phone calls. I can talk to people face-to-face or I can 'talk' to them online via words, but I absolutely hate having to speak to someone without being able to see them. |

Everyone sees things differently, I suppose. But can we all agree that a fear of carnivorous leeches is a LITTLE over the top? *wink*

The funny thing is, I don't remember Josephine ever expressing that much of a fear of the leeches. Perhaps because being afraid of carnivorous leeches is, when you live at Lake Lachrymose, actually a very rational fear indeed.

Perhaps because being afraid of carnivorous leeches is, when you live at Lake Lachrymose, actually a very rational fear indeed. She says "oh no" when they entire the leeches' territory on the boat, but she was muttering that throughout the entire journey. Ike's death seemed to spark a fear for the lake in general rather than a fear for leeches specifically, which as you say would not be a particularly irrational (or at least, not abnormal) response. Some of your fanfiction, if I recall correctly, shows Josephine as much less frightened when Ike was around. I think it makes more sense to view her many phobias as an overreaction to the traumatising death of her husband, rather than something she's always had. Otherwise, it must have been very, very tiresome for Ike and for all her other friends and family. |

The whole joke is that Josephine only has irrational fears. She's mainly terrified of doorknobs and Realtors, but her house teeters off the edge of a cliff that borders a lake full of flesh-eating leeches.

An astute breakdown. Yes, I agree, though the joke goes mostly unstated, and given that she is eventually endangered by the leeches then it's not as clear as it could be, especially when you're looking back on events.

Otherwise, it must have been very, very tiresome for Ike and for all her other friends and family. I like this interpretation, too, and it is definitely supported by her appearance in ?3, in which she doesn't have her anxiousness hinted at, like Widdershins' personal philosophy and Hector's like of mexican food are, and even dares to fly over the Clusterous Forest in a single-person helicopter without seeming to have any particular nerves about it. If we were supposed to believe that Josephine had always been overly anxious, she would probably have behaved more nervously in that appearance. |

I'd marry Lemony, but I honestly can't imagine him being in love with anyone but Beatrice, so I'd take Klaus.

I would only marry Violet if she was played by Charles Vane Conradt. It'd have to be some time down the road though, right now she doesn't look old enough to play a 14/15 year old. |
