#f: professor layton

[british-gentleman]

Luke was born in London, the son of archaeologist Clark and his wife Brenda Triton. When he was still a small child, Luke's parents moved with him to Misthallery in the Triton mansion and his father took over as mayor. He returned to London for a few years for his "apprenticeship" with the archaeologist Hershel Layton before his parents decided that he should move with them to America. Layton's influence had an effect on the boy, so that after leaving school he studied archaeology in Calgary and has been on the trail of the great mysteries of the past ever since. - Lukas Clark Triton: archaeologist, animal whisperer, owner of the airship 'Phantom'.

a study in: archaeology, talking to animals, solving puzzles, drinking tea, mysteries

novelist (german); semi-selective; crossover-friendly; not 24/7; open for plotting; based on the 'Professor Layton' games (don't worry, you don't need to know them); own version of the adult Luke -- fyi: I can't follow back

"Compared to the stars, we are all very small."

Die Schwüle des Regenwaldes trieb Luke dicke Schweißperlen auf die Stirn, die er in einer wischenden Bewegung mit dem flachen Handrücken für wenige Sekunden entfernte. Manch eine konnte sich aber dieser Entfernung entziehen und perlte über Nase und Wangen, um dann zu Boden zu tropfen. Behutsam strich der junge Mann die rankenden Triebe saftigen Grüns beiseite, die eine Felswand wie einen Vorhang verhüllten. Sie fügte sich perfekt in das Grau des Berges, der sich hier erhob. Doch Luke war schon einmal die eine Vertiefung in einer sonst so makellosen Fassade aufgefallen. Aus einer kleinen ledernen Tasche fischte er die gemusterte Steinplatte, die bequem in seine Handfläche passte. Mit Argwohn betrachtete er sie, dann die Vertiefung, ehe sich Beides, durch sein Zutun, vereinte. Abwartend trat Luke zurück und starrte gebannt auf die Wand. Als nichts geschah, stemmte er die Hände in die Hüften und brummte erbost, als wäre es eine Frechheit, dass sich nichts tat. Er zückte ein kleines Notizheft und begann enttäuschend ein paar Worte zu kritzeln, als ein Zittern durch die Erde bebte. Luke stauchelte und hatte Mühe sich auf den Beinen zu halten. Massiger Fels bewegte sich in rüttelnden Bewegungen beiseite und ermöglichte dem ersten Menschen seit Jahrtausenden einen Blick in ein unterirdisches, längst vergessenes Paradies.

*Kicks the door down* I have an idea

Okay so the Professors always the hero, the big strong smart guy we always look up to

But you know how Phoenix lost his badge?

Okay, okay, hearrrrrrrrr me out. Layton loses his archeology license, his teaching license, and on top of that, gets exiled from England. And let's say it was because of a false criminal accusation...

And news reaches Phoenix...

Someones gonna save the Professor, for once. For once, he's the one in a dire situation. And his heroes gonna be Phoenix

#AND HE'D HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO RESPOND #CAUSE HE'S USED TO BEING THE ONE WHO DOES THE SAVING #AND NOW THIS LAWYER WHO HE'D GIVE ANYTHING TO F- #WHAT? #AND LIKE I THINK HE'D BE CONFUSED BUT HAPPY #BECAUSE OMG #HE HAS SOMEONE TO LEAN ON #SOMETHING HE PROBABLY HASNT HAD FOR YEARS #BESIDES ANDREW SCHRADER OF COURSE I LOVE HIM #plvsaa #plvspw #phoenix wright #laywright #hershel layton #professor layton #ace attorney #professor layton vs ace attorney #professor layton vs phoenix wright

why clive is THE ‘tumblr sexyman’ of the professor layton fandom; a short thesis written at 5am.

“descole fits sexyman tropes more than clive does” no he doesn’t. look at my url. this is coming from someone with a long long background of once-ler fandom and sexyman studies (and terrorising the pl fandom with clive/once-ler ship art LOL). SO. im educated in this matter is what im saying. the once-ler, AKA the ORIGINAL tumblr sexyman, SHAPED an entire generation and put the term tumblr sexyman in the internet vernacular which also made this whole competition exist in the first place so you better show some RESPECT to that man’s name.

clive’s polarising personalities: outwardly charming and friendly (future luke), inwardly malicious and spiteful (clive). his story arc: his selfishness and delusion leading to irredeemable destruction followed by his commitment to atonement even if it meant his lifelong imprisonment. he’s even got a weird kind of father figure in his story who tries to save him from himself. and then how the fandom that sprouted up around him was a microcosmic version of the once-ler response: some skinny white villain in a suit who was barely even the main character of their own media, their SINGLE piece of media (not counting precious versions of the same story here re:the lorax), suddenly taking an internet collective by storm to a surprising degree and giving impetus to a fandom-wide legacy of fame and infamy for said character. you see this in the fandom response to clive even today in 2022. look in his tag; you will either get people passionately devoted to him or people who passionately hate him for the chaos he wrought upon a community and also the general annoyance of seeing his face everywhere unjustified for the amount of media he actually was present in. THAT’S the once-ler response.

descole, on the other hand, has been a largely well received character after his four media appearances. you either get people passionately devoted to him or people lukewarm on him. people don’t complain of fatigue and annoyance at seeing descole’s face everywhere, because his appearances in the entire prequel series justifies his popularity. yes, descole fits some of the aforementioned tropes mentioned: namely the polarised personality, the suit, the villainy, tragic backstory. but the term tumblr sexyman is not solely rooted in tropes; it is equal part trope and equal part fandom meta. the term itself was coined by not the fans, but the critics; those in response to the once-ler fandom  who had grown fatigued by tumblr’s affinity towards the same flavour of charismatic villain in a suit. when you think of the phrase “i want that twink obliterated” and the people who genuinely mean it, which is the professor layton character that springs to mind first? it’s probably not descole.

a slight digression, but it’d also be wrong to write about the once-ler response without a mention of the absolute avalanche of once-ler OCs and askblogs that unexpectedly flooded out of that ONE kids’ movie. an entire fandom UNIVERSE was made from literal scraps (seriously have you seen the lorax 2012 the once-ler is barely fucking IN IT). these scraps AKA missing information about a character led fans to compensate by filling in the gaps which is what ended up birthing the infamous oncest ship - in its essence, a response to the largely unexplained and sudden jump from ‘nice once-ler’ to ‘bad once-ler’. this was what created a literal ‘once-ler fandom’ as opposed to ‘lorax fandom’. ANYWAY. this is a digression because neither clive nor descole had a ‘clive/descole fandom’ of their own (sadly) and selfcest was not a defining feature of their respective eras (thankfully). but that’s not why i raise this point. i do because THIS was the phenomenon that truly allowed the term ‘tumblr sexyman’ to come to fruition. it was a marker of not only just fatigue, but cringe. 

CRINGE is an important and defining factor to what TRULY makes a tumblr sexyman, and those in the tags this past week dunking on clive for being embarrassing and wearing kneesocks and being ‘the sexyman of the past’ (AKA a teen girl’s crush) is only proving it. that thirst that brought about the once-ler fandom from literal scraps was created by the most important demographic in internet history: neurodivergent teenagers circa 2007-2014. THIS was the one demographic with the POWER to make the most unexpected characters and media popular with their sheer passion and creativity, and yet the characters and media loved by this era specifically became the first subjects of cringe culture. cringe culture itself is a topic for another day; why it matters here is that there is an unmistakable element of cringe today surrounding clive as a character most of all. there are far too many examples of this to count but see this post for one example. this one post is really important because OP really gets it; the insane fandom response to one unlikely character, the main era of his popularity (cited 2013), and a question of cringe from a 2022 fandom perspective - why DID he inspire such lust and loathing when he looks like that? it’s because the neurodivergent teenagers wished it so, and thus it came to be. 

to most people, thanks to current tumblr’s over-categorisation of the term in an attempt to “cringe” at its past in a self-aware manner, “tumblr sexyman” has been watered down to mean “any character conventionally attractive and popular enough who sometimes skews towards the morally grey.” seriously, look at that sexypedia wiki, there are hundreds of these characters now. ANYONE qualifies if they had a sad backstory and had a reasonable fandom following. but this is only a cheap imitation of what the term really means. a majority of these characters haven’t actually earned what truly makes a “tumblr sexyman”, which ultimately boils down to the factors of tropes, unlikely fandom response, and their following notoriety based in cringe culture. in only a short time, we are forgetting the history. we’re forgetting where this phenomenon came from, WHO it came from, and how this essentially defined an entire era of the internet.

anyway im going to bed so what i’m saying is that voting clive represents and respects what the term “tumblr sexyman” really, actually means at its core and origin, because in the end, the character has earned it. descole on the other hand may very well be the ‘sexyman of the modern age’ - a cheap, watered down imitation only replicated by those who have forgotten their internet history.

#professor layton #clive dove #me: descole f*ckers write too many essays also me: writes an essay #anyway posting this because idgaf what the layton fandom thinks of me like yeah yeah im cringe #yeah im that one weirdo who draws clive/onceler shipart (feel free to enjoy btw) #but the tumblr sexyman is my academic area of expertise so. respect it <3

You know, this game really isn’t very nice to those of us who didn’t buy it firsthand and are instead playing loose copies we found out back behind the Pizza Hut while meeting the guy with blue hair who says he can see the future.

#professor Layton #professor Layton and the diabolical box #I’m kidding guys I didn’t find it behind a Pizza Hut #I found it behind dominos #and gregg with three gs wasn’t there #jef with only one f was #but this puzzle isn’t very nice to me! #I don’t have an instruction book! #of course if you put it together then you can still solve it #but I’m a pretty tactile learner so it’s a bit of a blow to not have it #especially when the game encourages me to #queue takumi defense squad

hershel layton and angela ledore's friendship is so important to me you have no idea

#professor layton #hershel layton #angela ledore #like. idk if you get it but it just. it matters to me!! #i mean. i have always been a sucker for a platonic f/m relationship #it really makes both of them feel more like regular teenagers #like i mean. it's just normal for them to be friends!! and there is zero romantic tension!!! #they're friends! and layton is the *only* person in stansbury that they don't try to imply had feelings for angela at all #and that's probably for other reasons but it just #it makes them feel like regular teenagers and it fleshes angela out more #they're similar in some ways and it makes their friendship really great like they both have this understanding of each other #not to wear my ran/lay shipper hat or anything but like. there's a couple points where layton and angela are even compared #in their respective bonds to randall #they have the mutual understanding that they're both able to like. handle? randall #i don't like the phrasing of handle but i can't think of anything else #they have a comfortable bond with each other as teens that feels...lived-in #and then as adults you can still see those foundations but they're both changed #she didn't know how to give up and he didn't know how to hope at the time #it's just. so important. they could have neglected it but instead they chose to give this friendship to us! #brotp: quiet contemplation and coexistence

Does anyone else want Flora Reinhold to have her own series?

Like??? I really like Flora and I'm really upset that she rarely gets the spotlight in many of the games, as she mostly gets ignored and pushed to the side. I just want Flora to have a series of her own, following her adventures, self-discovery and personal growth.

Which is why I'm thinking about making a fanfic series all about Flora's adventures in secondary school, up to adulthood, while possibly throwing in some brief moments with the main cast to showcase Flora bonding with her found family.

I'm also gonna add some original characters I made for the sole purpose of Flora having friends(plus one enemy👀) her age. Don't worry, I'll make another post about those characters soon!!

Idk what I'm gonna call this series, hell i don't even know if I'm actually gonna make this happen, but I just wanted to get this idea out there before it disappeared from my brain forever. Cuz goddamn it, Flora deserves appreciation.✊😤❤🍎
