‘It was no wonder that you hadn’t noticed, Descole. Someone like you would never understand Janice’s kindness, or the nobility of sacrificing oneself in order to keep others alive.’

Taken from @lutiaslayton’s fan-translation for the novellisation of Eternal Diva.

"How has Layton not snapped from all the trauma" because his story is that of grief and acceptance. He's known pain and has suffered from it but after many years he learned to move on because life will continue whether he wants it to or not so he may as well make the most of it. He carries the painful memories with him but is also capable of seeing the beauty in life. He cries for his loved ones who have died but appreciates the people he has in his life now. Layton is an amazing character BECAUSE he hasn't snapped.

#OH AND THIS DOESN'T MEAN HE DOESN'T MOURN BTW LOOK AT HIS FACE TALKING ABOUT RANDALL IN MM LOOK AT LITERALLY ALL OF UNWOUND FUTURE #he feels his feelings i love him #speaking of UF I think that game rlly drives home the point I'm trying to make here #he's a good parallel to Clive who spent 10 fucking years making an expensive revenge plan #and Dimitri who worked tirelessly to keep Claire in the present despite her telling him like #'bitch if you try this again you're gonna kill even more people let it go' #you can argue Dimitri's case and say all he wanted was to save her life which is fair #but ultimately it's presented as him being unable to move on #and I think if it had been Layton he would have also tried to save her at first but would have listened to Claire when she told him to stop #professor layton #hershel layton #professor layton and the unwound future #professor layton and the lost future #professor layton and the miracle mask #professor layton and the azran legacy #i haven't even touched Azran Legacy btw i'm going off UF and MM

I SAW THE TAGS U LEFT ON THAT DES ART I DID AND YOU GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GET IT SO GOOD!!!!!!!!! the fact that hershel did the exact same thing his dad did and how des loves his brother so so so much but is just so angry because hershel fell for the same thing his father fell for, and how desmond did everything right as a parent but lost his wife and daughter but hershel, the golden son, got to have three kids and he just left them, and how in LBMR al is mad towards his father but in LMJ/LMDA kat seems so happy to have him back and how it furthers the parallels of al/des and kat/hersh and not even to think about how flora feels about all this, always being left behind by the prof and now it’s her siblings’ turn to get left behind with her, just OOOOUUGGGHHH THE LAYTON FAM… AAAAUUUUGGHHH

I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABT DES'S FAMILY FUCK THIS MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH WORSE (/pos)

looking back at the post itself i am now realising that it cut off the last couple of tags for some reason. probably hit a tag limit or smth idk. so since it didnt keep it there i'll mention it here; there's no way in hell that the happy ending we got in LMDA is going to last

its like. kat's satisfied but al's pissed, des is pissed, and flora doesnt even know how to feel about the whole situation. i imagine with her its like "well this happened before but then it got better but then it got infinitely worse so how do we know it wont happen again." she cant trust that he'll actually stay this time, and it'll probably lead into her growing distant from him. she'll still stay close to her siblings, of course, but how can she trust that their father will be there to, yknow, be their father

meanwhile alfendi and des are unable to put the past behind them and move forward (des i think more so due to trauma but knowing al i think he'd be more vocal about it). so with alfendi it's more like "you left your family behind and we all went through hell and back in the meantime" but with des its more like "you are not only abandoning everyone but you are also continuing the cycle." and its like, the parallels between des and leon are way more obvious and in your face (mostly in the character designs) but with hershel you gotta think about it for more than five seconds. so it makes me wonder how much of leon does des see in hershel...

not to mention the fact that des suffered so much with at least two of his families being stripped away from him and here's his little brother--the one family member he has left, the person who was so disconnected from his bio family that he didnt even know he was a part of it for most of his life--pulling the same shit that fucked up des's entire life in the first place

istg trauma spice and abandonment issues just run in this family... i want to send all of them to therapy

#i love lmda actually #grrr i need to get to work on that post canon oneshot ive been writing bc it deals with exactly this but from hershels perspective #im a sucker for parallels between protags and antags <3 #also yknow. generational trauma #my dumbass ramblings #professor layton #hershel layton #desmond sycamore #flora reinhold #katrielle layton #alfendi layton #inbox

Unbelievable that I can’t be a professional guy who walks around and mysteries just occur around him that he can solve with a weird assistant. It’s what I was born to do.

Thinking about the Clive and Bill parallels again...

Both started with pretty average goals (gaining money / getting closure). Both became obsessed with said goals to the point of going through with their plans no matter the cost. Both became consumed by the desire to pursue a goal that isn't actually achievable (You can get more money but it will never feel like it's enough. You can lash out in anger but it won't make the anger go away). Both ended up killing innocents.

And yet.

Bill getting rid of his humanity in the hopes of getting money. Clive getting rid of his money in the hopes of getting his humanity back. Bill claiming he despises people like Clive when he has himself killed innocents for his own selfish plans. Clive claiming he hates politicians and scientists but still using science to build a mecha and politics to justify its use. Bill hiding everything, hiding from Claire that the machine isn't ready, hiding his crime from everyone. Clive exposing everything, exposing his secret base to Layton, exposing Bill and Dimitri's crime by his staging. Bill covering up the incident while Clive broadcasted his crime inside the fortress.

I don't know where I was going with this. Maybe that prime minister Bill looks like a honest citizen, just your regular Londoner really, while Clive is so obviously violent and destructive : and yet, Clive is the dove and Bill the hawk. Funny.

#In today's episode of 'Syl states the obvious' LOL #But yeah basically looks can be deceiving for them both I guess =) #This is once again a very simplified version. Hence why I don't go into too many details #Like Bill losing his humanity is the very moment he decided the risk was worth it. It's not even the explosion itself #Clive doesn't feel like a human because he's so alienated. He's ready to kill people. But he's hoping to get saved. Wrong actions ofc #It's actually so very important to me that Clive goes to jail but we aren't told a thing about Bill. Bill keeps everything a secret #Dimitri also has parallels with both. One day I'll write a good detailed analysis about these 3 #clive dove #bill hawks #professor layton and the unwound future #professor layton and the lost future #unwound future spoilers #lost future spoilers #my analysis #This goes without saying but they're both assholes btw. Idc about the actual goals or characters they're both in the wrong and messed up

The little nods they give each other in these moments…

PL4: Layton comforts a frightened Luke after they’re attacked by the spectre, asking him to keep a clear mind and remain rational

ED: In another perilous moment with a monstrous machine… Luke bravely insists he can save Melina from falling— after all, he wants to be a true gentleman! Layton agrees to let him go.

HD screenshots from @dearesthershel’s PL4 HD video.

#Professor Layton #parallels #luke triton #hershel layton #eternal diva #spectre’s call #Luke’s character development in the prequels is so good #He doesn’t get as many moments to shine in Miracle Mask but he is so much HAPPIER #And in Azran Legacy he’s the one with clearest mind #While the adults are backstabbing each other or sharing tragic backstories Luke’s just willing to step up to sacrifice himself #He doesn’t care about the Bronev family soap opera— he just wants to save everyone

Lucas is just surrounded by tall people good luck little fella

He just a lil guy and wherever he looks there is someone who is taller than him and whoops he simps.

#you may have noticed this happened with hilda too #literally the minute he parallel met her when lu was talking to her #he saw this tall non-physical powerhouse of a woman and just went weak #oh dear god he'd probably react the same way to Florence now that i think about it #since she is canonically tall #according to the manga at least #layton anon #anon answered #anon ask #anonymous #ask answered #answered #professor layton #layton #layton oc #layton series

The statue that is in Future London seems to be connected to both Luke and Clive as both see something to it. It's probably more than likely that Clive meant the statue to represent how he thought of Professor Layton and himself. Professor Layton did save him 10 years ago when he was still a child. Clive probably dedicated this to that important moment.

I think that the story of the author and little boy is metaphorical and not an actual event. The boy is most likely a metaphorical version of Clive as a young child while the author is the metaphorical version of Professor Layton.

Luke sees this as a representation of his and Professor Layton's friendship. Luke had a couple of times pointed out how this statue reminded him of himself and Professor Layton. I think that Luke grew an attachment to this statue because of what he thought it meant to him. The story of the "author and the little boy" shows how close these two were during the time the little boy was sick.

The author stayed by the boys side and the two's relationship grew until one day the boy passed away. The part of the boy passing even though sad the bond between him and the author is everlasting. Luke saw himself within the young boy as he was going to be separated from Professor Layton just as the boy was from the author.

Both of them saw something special in this statue and have a separate interpretation. I just thought of this as one of the many story parallels that comes from Luke and Clive as characters.
