Why is processor latent so sad 😢

[cayenne-twilight]

What if, when Layton gets so angry that it makes him break character, he briefly has an American accent

I headcanon Layton would be one of those professors who makes his class a practice test to study before exams, but makes it way harder than the actual exam

Me after eating several mouthfuls of pasta and getting so full because I’m so petite and tiny that an average serving size of fettuccine alfredo looks like Scrooge McDuck’s money pool to me and the sheer amount of butter in the sauce could single-handedly carry me through the harsh winter

My calling-it-now NWOS prediction is that the soundtrack is gonna incorporate banjos this time. Fiddles are a given, and it’s not Layton without accordion, but in a game where the mysterious evil guy is a gun-toting American cowboy they’ve gotta sell the Wild West ambience. Bonus prediction is that the cowboy will have some sort of harmonica theme play when he shows up.

You guys may be wondering why I’m putting so much focus onto Hino’s erotic and violent games comment in regards to the Layton series. Or maybe you’re not wondering at all. It’s obvious, this is a Layton blog and naturally, I’m desperate for any news. But that isn’t the whole story. The truth is that I don’t want to imagine what he might have planned for that disgusting freak Manjimutt from Yokai Watch.

This is so true how could I forget bringing Phoenix back into the mix. If things go far enough south maybe we could recreate the dual destinies scene that made the game M rated. In PLvsAA 2 the executions should be real and the slutty knights should get more screentime.

I would love to hear Layton say fuck, but I don’t think there’s anything in the world that would make him angry or distraught enough to snap like that. If Layton said fuck it would be because something so absurdly bizzare happened that it would make him break character and go, “what the fuck is that”.

I want the little gnome to run past and make Layton say fuck in confusion, but only once. Never again after this.

Earlier this year Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino said, “[…] I want to make things like erotic games and 18+ games with violence”. I’m putting in my predictions but also suggestions for how he can do this with the Layton IP

Professor Layton and the decision to move on and look for love again

Professor Layton and the assassination attempt

Just a normal installment of the series exactly like all the previous ones but there’s a realistic amount of blood when people get hurt or killed instead of a # on their cheek to show they’re beat up or them gasping and falling over after getting stabbed

Mystery room 2

Miracle mask director’s cut

Let Luke curse people out

Professor Layton and the deeply unfortunate steampunk fatal industrial accident

Edgy fucked up dark and twisted puzzles

Sexy puzzles

This strip club reminds me of a puzzle

A horror-leaning murder mystery spin-off starring Flora who isn’t fazed by anything that happens. Acting like the little schoolgirls from Porco Rosso who dgaf about danger and are always giggling about something and going, “yayyy!!!”

Characters’ tragic backstories beginning at their conception

Injuries so jolly they were Christmas for a month

Eternal Diva remake that is basically straight up Squid Games

Sexy puzzles

Anyone else Layton-pilled and puzzlemaxxing

I think I’ve brought something like this up a long time ago, but I’ve always had this headcanon that Flora has some sort of disability or something that causes people to infantilize her.

Her dad has a bunch of robots built so she’ll always have guaranteed friends who’ll treat her nicely, people who can’t get her sick or do anything against their programming. He gives her an isolated tower to live in when he dies, and puts his inheritance behind a treasure hunt to make sure someone else will come look after her, so she’ll never have to work a job or live alone outside the village.

When Layton kinda “adopts” her, he tries to leave her behind on adventures. He says he’s worried about her safety, but then, why is it okay for Luke to come with him? He behaves like looking after Flora takes more work mentally than looking after Luke, which could just be because of her lack of life experience, but what if he doesn’t want her to start having symptoms of something while they’re out?

They both treat her like she’s very fragile and younger than she probably is. I don’t have a specific condition in mind really, it could be anything from autoimmune problems, chronic illness, a developmental disability, neurodivergency, mental illness, whatever. I just think something like that would recontextualize the many moments when people treat her differently from others. What do you guys think? Does anyone have similar headcanons?

The first few notes of Iris from the end credits of Pandora’s/Diabolical Box sound just like the first few notes of Memories by Maroon 5, and naturally I can’t think about that song without replacing it with the YouTube video of the man singing it in family guy and simpsons voice impressions. What if Peter Griffin was Anton and Stewie was Katia.

We need a couple more Laytons now! We overshot it!
