I hate to be rude, but don't suppose you could *also* put your ava fic on ao3?

I'm trying to show a friend who doesn't have Tumblr and the screenshots are killing my phone

...I forgot to link the AO3 version, didn't I?

(Sigh) Here you go.

-----------------------------------------------

Adam is actually adjusting rather well in Hell which, honestly, baffled Charlie and the others. Lucifer not so much because he's pretty sure Adam was not meant for Heaven but they didn't wanna embarrass themselves by having the first human soul fall in Hell.

And they say Lucifer's the prideful one.

Sure, the dickhead bitches and complains but he deduced the guy would do it regardless of where he was. He always thought that Adam was a lazy ass son of a bitch who's all dick and no brains; like one of those jock characters from Charlie's DVD collection.

Maybe that's why he's adjusting so well. His attitude is very on brand for Hell.

Still doesn't explain this, though.

Lucifer: How are you so good at this? I thought you said you hated it.

Adam: I said I hated it not that I'm shit at it. Besides, who the fuck loves doing paperwork?

Today, Lucifer is at the palace catching up on centuries worth of documents that he missed during this 'me-time'. The Sins initially offered to take over so that he could rest but he insists on doing it himself. He feels bad about relying on the Sins too much every time there's a problem. He's supposed to the older brother! The-uh- King of Hell! And what King can't even do simple paperwork?

Apparently he is, because he and Adam have been at this for days now and the pile just never seem to lessen. He's beginning to think someone has cursed him to be stuck here forever.

Speaking of Adam, Lucifer won't admit it to his face but the other has been a very big help; like they're actually making progress and none of the work is half-assed too.

He can't help but look on in wonder at how the first man is just zooming through the endless papers.

Adam: Oi. I know I'm a fine piece of art but can you stop lookin' at me like that? Take a picture, it'll last longer.

Lucifer: I just can't get my head around all this.

Adam: What's not to get, bruh? You know I'm good at everything; even the boring shit. I handle Sera's when she's too busy doing fuck knows too, you know!

Lucifer: Excuse- what?! You handled Sera's documents?? And she didn't stop you the first time???

Adam: Okay- why the fuck are you acting like that's such a shock?

Lucifer: Helloooooo it's freakin' Sera? It's you? I just-

Lucifer makes an exaggerated gesture of scratching his head in mock confusion.

Lucifer: -is she out of her mind? Did she suffer some form of brain damage?

Adam: Okay, look. You are making this into a way bigger deal than it needs to be, I don't pry into your stupid skills and insecurities.

Lucifer: Bitch, you literally do that all the time!

It was nice, in a weird way, how they're bantering. It almost reminds Lucifer of the first days he came to Eden; how Lilith and Adam pretended for a bit to get along for him.

As an angel, he was taught to see the good in everything. After all, everything was made by Father's hand so why would they be anything less than good and perfect?

They say that God is omnipotent and all-knowing, so he often wonders if his Father intentionally made the humans that way. Still does not explain why he would cast him out when the mistake was in his Father's hands.

Because.

Adam was fun until he said something about Lilith. Adam was fine until he acts like a 'man'. Adam was a friend until he wasn't.

Eden was one hell of a reality check. Pun intended.

Man, was pre-humanity Heaven always been cult-like?

Adam: Bro, how bout you shut up and let me do the work you've forced upon me. And why are you here anyway? I thought you live at that hotel now.

Lucifer: Oh? Would you rather do the work there? I have to warn you; Nifty goes in and out of rooms as she pleases to clean so-

Adam: Ah!!!! Don't say that name!

Lucifer: What? Afraid she's gonna come out of the mirror like some sort of Bloody Mary?

Adam bearing his teeth at him like a wild animal is a funny sight to see but then a got a very genius idea, a literal lightbulb turned on above his head.

Lucifer: Nifty...

Sensing what Lucifer is doing, Adam scrambles up and charges at him. Lucifer dodged him with ease and flies high above the room away from prying hands.

Lucifer: Niftyyyyy~

Adam: Lucifer, stop that shit!

Lucifer: Niffffffffffffffty-

Nifty: Hey guys!

The scream the two let out at the sudden voice were embarrassingly high enough to be mistaken for a teenage girl's.

Adam: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Lucifer: Jesus Christ!

Despite the panic in front of her, the little cyclops just smiled on.

Lucifer: Nifty, what in the world are you doing here?

Adam: Get that thing away from me!

Lucifer: Oh don't be such a baby, it's just Nifty.

Adam: You screamed too, asshole!

He gave Adam a wave to say 'whatever' and turns back to Nifty who has her eyes locked on the panicking demon behind him.

Maybe he should let her have at it at him just a little.

Nifty: I'd love to start a goat collection hehe~

Okay, nevermind. With Adam's surprising skills at organization, he can't afford to die yet until he finishes Lucifer's paperwork.

Lucifer: Uh Nifty, my question?

Nifty: Yes, roach queen?

Lucifer: Roach what? You know what, don't answer that. I asked why are you here.

Nifty: Oh! Miss Charlie is calling for you. Seems pretty urgent.

Lucifer: Did something happen at the hotel?

Nifty: Not really!

Lucifer: So?? What is it???

Nifty: Have you been outside at all, Mr. King?

Lucifer: Well no. We've been holled up all day doing this-

He vaguely gestures to the mess of his office.

Lucifer: And I put up a sound barrier so we wouldn't get distracted. I've also turned off my phone sooooooooOHHHH my god!

What the shit?? 666 missed calls??? Most of them are from Charlie.

Nifty: Said that no one could reach you. The others are trying to calm the panic cause most of the icky demons went straight into the hotel. I wanted to stab them but Miss Charlie told me to just come here and get you!

Probably to prevent bloodshed. His daughter is so smart but-

Lucifer: What actually is happening, Nifty?

Nifty: Oh! The sky is falling!

-----------------------------------------------

Sorry if it's a bit short but I just wanted to write AdamsApple banter and a bit of introspective.

Also, is that a chicken little reference???

Kudos to you if you saw that Spring Broken reference (arguably my fave Helluva Boss episode all because of the creative insults)

Cohesive List of Notable Layton Projects I'm Working On

I'm Yusei, mostly active on Discord as of late. I entered the Layton Fandom through the subreddit and have been spreading the plague that is me since then. Since I just set up this account, here's a cohesive list of my notable Layton-based works: 1. Professor Layton and the Dreadful Food Service (2023 - On-going)

Above is a video playthrough of the (currently broken) demo of the game. It contains 1 puzzle and some shotty concept art. Development on the game has progressed much since the demo, including new assets, more puzzles, and some storyboarded cutscenes. Current project status: On Hiatus. Team Enigma, College, and Calamity Witch Arianna have taken precedence over this specific fan game, but it will be returned to in time (breaks from school, usually).

2. Professor Layton and the Mansion of the Deathly Mirror: Reflected (202? - On-going)

I would like to make it known that this is not my endeavor alone. I'm the head programmer, but this is a group effort so please take a look at the other department heads -- their work is incredible, and I'm very proud to be part of a team with such pleasant folks. Together, we are Team Enigma! There's plans to make more games than just this, so keep an eye out for any news post-MotDM:RE.

Current Project Status: In development. It'll be a slow process but we're making good headway already. Look forward to updates as development progresses.

3. Calamity Witch Arianna Tetralogy (2024 - *anticipated* 2025)

Want to "play" it yourself? Check it out (supposedly it work on phones, too):

This is planned to be a four-part mini series about Arianna from Professor Layton and the Last Specter. The idea is that each new chapter gets progressively more complex (longer runtime, new features such as puzzles, more actual art from my end, etc.) -- chapter 1 is already out, but it's simply a visual novel for now. Puzzles and basic investigation have been coded for chapter 2, which is currently in development.

Current Project Status: In development. Essentially working on this when I have time and the energy. On scene two, thinking up puzzle ideas. Doing voice work, as well.

4. Coin Forager -- a Layton-community-lead hint coin finding game! (2024, like last week - hopefully as long as people want to submit entries)

Coin Forager is a fun little idea I had whilst browsing the Reddit-Discord. The idea is that whoever wants to can enter a photo they've taken from a place they feel like would have hint coins hidden around and I enter it into this little searching game. So far, we have 9 entries. Version 1.0.0 will be uploaded to itch once I get 20 submissions. Hint coins found through each location can unlock information about the area, such as the name of the place or a fun fact about it. Everyone is free to enter a location!

Current Project Status: Always in development. The goal is for this to be open for as long as I can. Folks will always be welcome to submit an entry, and I'll find the time to add it!

So that's it, for now, at least off the top of my head. Thanks for reading, and I'm sure there'll be many more projects to come in the future!

Ameliorate Chapter 14 Progress Update!

Hello, lovely people! Happy holidays!

So, chapter fourteen has ballooned into a massive undertaking, far more than I originally planned. It may end up being split into two chapters, but I can't decide that until I see it all together and see how it flows (and decide how mean I want to be).

I'm still not entirely sure how I want it to go, but it's going to have at least three POV shifts if not four, instead of the typical 1-2. All that to say, it's taking a little longer than anticipated and it's hard to give a perspective date as to when it'll be up. I'm shooting for over the weekend, if not earlier??

Here's a little snippet to hopefully make it up to you!!

-

“Evening, Kiramman.” Ambessa stated simply. “Out for an evening stroll?”

“Assuring the perimeter is secure, though I could ask you the same.” Caitlyn replied, relaxing her posture to pull out her weapon. “Now that we’ve located Viktor, I wanted to assure she’s not still lurking around, lest we have a repeat of last time.”

“If only you knew.” Jayce thought with a wince.

Ambessa hummed. “A wise action, if not unnecessary. My men will be the first to alert us of any movement. As for myself, I’d like to officially meet this Viktor, this ‘herald’ as they keep referring to him as, so I’m on my way to see him now.”

Jayce’s heart stopped and he had to bite his tongue to keep from sucking in a sharp breath. Unfortunately, that didn’t keep his shoulders from going entirely rigid and his fists from clenching. It drew him a glance from the body guard, but thankfully nothing else. 

Caitlyn jumped in immediately to snatch their attention back. “All of you?” She asked with a frown.

Ambessa nodded, gesturing to the other two with a sweep of her hand. “The doctor thinks his argument will have more weight if I am able to witness his points with my own eyes. I thought it best to take care of it immediately so a decision can be reached.”

“What decision?” Caitlyn pressed further, even though Ambessa had begun walking again, breezing past the two of them without a second thought. They glanced at each other and spun around to jog after her, Caitlyn speeding up to walk beside her while Jayce kept his distance just enough to seem respectful but still be able to hear their conversation.

“What to do next, of course."

Thank you for your patience and continued support, I look forward to seeing your reactions and theories!! :) 💜

Two parrots are given a laptop

To those who have been following this blog before I changed the name; This is the "Three Parrots Writing" blog. I have since changed it due to personal reasons.

I won't divulge specifics as this blog was always intended to keep our anonymity; But the short and sweet of it is that one parrot has left. The other two — Myself and my proofreader — we're still here.

The Mystreet Rewrite project we'd been working on with the parrot that left was dead in the water before we lost contact with them, which is unfortunate but inevitable considering our habits as a collective.

The intitial intent of the project was to roleplay everything chronologically with a few OCs thrown in and then turn it into something legible for ao3.

But that was unrealistic and naive. The parrot that left tended to hyperfixate on media before leaving it behind to be forgotten and brought back up months later, my proofreader shifts fixations nonstop, and I tend to burn out rather fast.

So, as the only one with nothing better to do; I'm rebranding this project as the "Mystreet Reimagining Project".

My intent now is to flesh out the main characters for each arc as much as I can, flesh out the supporting cast that reoccur over the course of the arc somewhat, and then work on it chapter by chapter going chronologically through the source material whilst also bringing it to my proofreader every chapter for a second pair of eyes to look over it.

The arcs being the equivilent of each season of Mystreet. (I.E. PDH season 1 would be an arc, PDH season 2 would be an arc, Graduation days would be an arc, and so on and so forth.)

Verde, my aforementioned proofreader, hasn't watched Mystreet. But he's mainly there to give it a once over and make sure the story isn't insensitive or anything like that, so no harm done there. Though, I am open to finding more proofreaders. If your hearts so desire to read drafts of the final product you are more than welcome to contact me, anything to improve the story as a whole once I start writing it.

When I do start writing it, I highly doubt that it'll be consistent progress. I work best when I'm shifting between projects, that way I don't burn out as quick.

For now, while I'm still fleshing out the characters and figuring out what they look like, I'll focus on salvaging what I can from the project's early days.

If there's anyone else who's at least mildly interested in following along with my reimaginings, whether it revolves around Aphmau or not (but not necessarily interested in proofreading), that would be very much appreciated and encouraged.

The discord server linked here is a good place to follow along with my projects. You can also find my other social media via my Linktree.

Once again, I feel the need to reiterate that;

1. This is only a reimagining, this project no longer aims to replace the original source material in any way, shape, or form.

And 2. This is just two friends working on a passion project together. There's a big possibility it'll end up going on multiple hiatus' so I can recharge, or — alternatively — that I'll just lose motivation for it entirely.

Which ever the case, I welcome anyone and everyone to follow along if they want. Though, I can't promise that it'll be very interesting journey.

Sincerely, Typewriter.
