…says the guy whose first idea for a revenge plan was “use my inheritance to build a fake future London in an underground cavern beneath the real London, lure an archeology professor there by claiming his future self is a mob boss ruling London with an iron fist, cosplay as the future iteration of his 13-year-old protégée, and con a scientist into thinking I’m helping him get back his dead girlfriend with a time machine while all the while I have his coworkers (who I’ve kidnapped and believe they’re working on a time machine that’s they’re last hope of getting home) secretly make me a giant mech to destroy all of London with”

s...squish mallows...I totally missed the boat and didn’t realize just how popular these guys are BUT i had fun going through the master list and finding some name-twins hehe... (Clive’s squishmallow is bc his name is Klaus Albatross in Japan fyi!)

Hi Clyde, I've a question. Where did you pick that little Clive statue? Thank you and sorry for my bad English.

Hi there! You're actually the second person to ask me this. I don't remember the exact seller or listing, but I got it on eBay several years ago.

The figure is called "Professor Layton Prop Plus Petit" by Bandai, the name could be Klaus Albatro or Klaus Albatross since it's Japanese (or sometimes he's listed as Luke Triton?) and he comes with Subject 3.

Good luck finding him! I have no idea how hard Layton merch is to find these days but hopefully it's not too bad.

band au now. Here it is. God damn it.

So anyways this is all Emmy’s fault. Girlie just wanted her own rock band and made it everyone else’s problem. Now there’s a group of mid-twenties to forty somethings trying to relive the glory days.

On another day:

And lastly:

And to top it all off I have a relationship sheet. Sometimes you think Desmond is baby girl, sometimes you remember that by curious village he’s a 43 year old man. Sometimes that doesn’t stop him from being babygirl. He’s like the trap of the group, where teens will see edits of him online and start stanning him. Bro doesn’t know what that means and is too scared to bother finding out. Emmy finds it hilarious.

In this au, Desmond works as a renowned archeology professor with a loving wife and a daughter under a fake identity. His relationship with his father is none-existent, having cut all contact in his teens. His brother, Theodore, was taken by child-protective services in his youth and doesn’t remember Des at all.

Emmy, is a journalist for the company, Targent. She used to travel the world in search of good stories, but recently settled down in the area to follow the story of a famous archeology professor, one Hershel Layton. She also recently connected with her cousin Desmond. He is unhappy about this.

Clive, is also a journalist for a competitor company, World Times. He and Emmy were fast friends due to their mutual love of compelling stories and teasing. They get drunk on Saturdays and complain/gossip to each other. He seems to have a vendetta against a local politician, Bill Hawks, but Emmy can’t quite pin down why.

Bloom is a local investigator on the force who keeps the police in line with Targent’s goals. He influences the top brass and the police’s young prodigy. He and Emmy see each other often during Targent briefings and are close workmates, though not entirely by his choice.

anyways that’s all from me idk man that original drawing of Clive wasn’t supposed to have lore

[beezonia]

So I have decided to name the professor Layton psychonaut au More then meets the eye or just MTMTE au

And here’s some story stuff fleshed out cause this is most likely gonna be the au I’m focusing on atm (probably not lol)

——

Clive Dove gets dragged back into the life of being a psychic when his old Mentor and his now wife find him and ask him to join them at the newly improved Motherlobe

There he meets Amelia Ruth, who is now his partner Dr Foley says.

Together they become Agent Albatross and Agent Pelican and are forced to fight a battle that should’ve been won long ago, both their minds and hearts a pushed to the limits.

And they find out much more the they thought about the history of the psychic 6 and the part they played in the creation of the group named Targent.

To whoever is reading this file, you must keep your eyes on these two. They will stop at nothing to uncover our lives and our lies my dear friends.

What is the quote sidebar from?

((Gonna assume that this is the quote you're talking about. Its a stanza from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Tyler Coolidge, published in 1728. I used it because the Albatross, and the poem itself, is one of Qrow's allusions.

In the poem, the titular Ancient Mariner shoots the albatross out of the sky, dooming his sailors to a spate of bad luck. The men tie the albatross around the Mariner's neck as a show of shame. These are big birds, so its quite a burden.

Eventually, the albatross falls away when the Mariner pays penance for the death of the bird and the deaths of his crew.

Qrow calls himself an albatross in "Bad Luck Charm," and it seemed fitting that the poem feature heavily on this blog. On a more personal note, the poem features heavily in the works of Clive Cussler, and as the Dirk Pitt books are old comfort books for me, I figured that I'd let that influence shine here.
