#Double-Tracking

[1000rh]

So the wheels of gentrification turn. But on such an occasion, when a tear opens up in the fabric of things, and the theatre of authenticity reveals itself, I found myself compelled to ask: what is this fantasy of hardship and labour endemic to those parts of the city catering to the rise of affluence, the empire of the flat-whites, draining neighbourhoods of colour, and leaving in their wake a mild-mannered army dressed in Breton stripes and vintage labouring apparel? What is this love of the workshop, the jailhouse, the farm, and the forces, which has caused a swathe of the population to tether their identities to the gates of histories and industries that they will never enter?

so on the subject of the "Crowley is secretly Revaan/Laverne/Levin/please Twst give us his name" theory, I think my feelings are best summed up as "I don't really buy it, but it's funny". like, in all seriousness, I'm not opposed to it; I have enjoyed the writing in Twst so far and I'm willing to trust that whatever happens will, you know, make sense and not be terrible. but I'm just not really convinced by the current evidence! maybe that'll change once we learn more, we'll see!

with that said, may I propose a few alternate theories about the possible Crowley/Revaan connection:

Am I dreaming too big in hoping that lawyer dude is helping Eddie update his will - because now he has a house he would need to update it.

Give me Eddie doubling down on his choice to name Buck Chris’s legal guardian by also putting the house down as an asset to go to Buck - to be held in trust for Chris!!

…no self-respecting eighteen-year-old would ever admit to spending their money on anything so transparently hedonistic as a lengthy luxury holiday. So dawned an unusual era for the travel industry, a time of customers willing to part with their money to sleep in shepherd’s huts, spend time in historic slums, and experience the once-in-a-lifetime pleasure of working as a farm-hand. Indeed, what distinguishes the traveller from the tourist is key to understanding the double-tracking state of mind. Today’s traveller is the tourist’s embarrassed progeny, ashamed of their parents’ laminated itinerary, beige money belt and sensible walking sandals. But rather than considering the root of this embarrassment – how narrow our sense of normalcy, how patently foolish we appear beyond familiar terrain, how ugly inequality – the traveller quells their anxiety of righteousness by engaging, a la Mailer, in an immersive type of role play.

Saw you were looking for requests. I’ve had Spirit Tracks Zelink on my mind lately.

I think they are supposed to be twins???

(maybe originally in the concept art, but in canon it seems they aren't anymore? dion has been stated to be the oldest, but my thoughts are maybe like he's the older twin lmao. i will probably be 100% wrong if there is ever a future installment in this series.)

Funny story, I originally wanted to color these sketches, but I found that most of my traditional art supplies are unusable (the pencil colors has a very faded color, and most of my markers have a diluted yellow coloring lmaoooo ToT). I haven't been using them from 2019 and it really shows.

Oh yeah, here's a full page sketch.

"Oh, I know very well. How the puzzles beckon so sweetly...

As expected of you, Layton.

Only an honest death will cure you now."

...

expanding on that Lady Maria vibe for Descole from the first Laytonborne post, and that famous boss intro.

Descole would make a hellish boss fight, i know it. i mean have you SEEN how he moved during Eternal Diva and with that big ass sword? now imagine that with Soulsborne-scale strength and possible other additional powers.

plus his theme could be pretty easily adapted into a Bloodborne boss style piece I think, just add more orchestra heavy brass and cellos and some ominous Latin chanting choir and presto. that organ goes so hard too.
