my favorite fact about the layton games that most people dont realize is that even though hershel is the protagonist every game is through luke’s POV

Finally figured out why Descole’s mask always looks wrong when I draw it lol anyway there’s a bit of writing under the cut for Layton Brothers stuff :3

Edit: Pose by _doodles_i_guess_ on TikTok! I keep forgetting the pose credit :(

It had been quite an eventful time recently. First the return of Dimitri Allen, then the kidnapping, then the destruction of a large portion of London. All over some silly experiment gone awry a decade ago.

Now, to cap everything off, there was someone knocking at the office door. “Eliza, I told you no visitors!” They knocked again, louder, as the man stood. “I’m a very busy man, so this had better be important.”

As he yanked open the door, Hawks noticed that not only was there no one knocking, but his secretary was nowhere to be found. “Eliza,” he called out down the hall, “no slacking!” He then shut the door as hard as he dared without sounding like a petulant child.

“My, my,” came a dangerous voice, accompanied by the creak of a leather chair, “I wonder who that could’ve been?” As Hawks whipped around to his desk, the hard surface was knocked into by a wooden boot heel.

“You?! Now?!”

“Yes, quite a shock, I’m sure. Devilish fiend [Descole] vanishes from the public eye, only to return right after London faces its largest scale tragedy in years.” He waved grand gestures around as he spoke, emphasizing the moment. “I’m sure at least once you considered I had been behind everything. But no.”

[Descole] swung his legs down and stood abruptly.

“Lock the door, Hawks. I would like this discussion to be private.”

A chill ran up the Prime Minister’s spine then. “What on earth could we have to discuss?”

“Oh, I’d merely love to confirm some… suspicions of mine… that seem to have been nearly confirmed with recent information coming to light.” [Descole] splayed his gloved hands on the desk. “Some… unsavory incidents of your past… and some unfortunate connections you carry with those who assaulted an innocent man nearly a decade ago.

I won’t repeat myself again, Bill. Lock. The. Door.”

~~~

A note, in case anyone’s curious: I put Descole in brackets in case I change his name in the future ,’P

I have a legion of questions

Why is Lani bringing Layton art to the Sonic the Hedgehog event

Flora and Emmy are key art so why do the Lukes look like fanart

Why is Future Luke even here, she didn’t voice him, Yuri Lowenthal did

Why wasn’t this available on her Streamily while it was open

And most importantly, how am I going to get to San Diego with barely a month’s notice

Welcome to another episode of "One of your comments triggered an Eternal Diva Fun Fact"!

We do cannonically know where the notebook came from, just not from the movie, but from the thing itself, because the notebook was made into merchandise for the movie!

The first page has a dedication from Layton to Luke so you guessed right, it is a gift from the LSO to the boy :D

Oooooh that's really neat!!! Thank you for the fun fact!! Did the dedication say something specific or was it something generic like "for my best apprentice, may your puzzles be solved and your picarats abundant"?

Anyway, that's really cool, the attention to detail and all! I didn't know they made merchandise of the movie, and the notebook of all things!

You also mentioned this name, a Layton... Now, I don't know who that is, but it seems he is very fond of Luke. Who wouldn't! That's a really sweet gesture!!

[smile-files]

we immediately get a ton of details on luke's current situation. his mother has been away for quite some time and he almost completely refuses to talk to his father. layton has only ever seen luke as a baby, so neither would know each other personally at this point; in any event it is concluded that he might be willing to connect with someone outside his family (which suggests familial conflict).

and luke, just like how we've seen him in the main series, is usually bright-eyed and bushy-tailed: he's only so withdrawn now. the maid suspects this is because of the absence of his mother, which is interesting, as this being just a suspicion suggests that luke himself has said nothing explicitly to that end - even if it is true, luke has not communicated this. and indeed, he acts very grown-up: it is unclear if this is a behavior he's always exhibited, or one only picked up in recent events (relating to his mother, the specter, or something else).

despite neither layton nor luke knowing each other personally, luke seems to know a great deal about layton - calling him "esteemed", and knowing his aptitude for puzzles. as it is, luke was the one writing for layton's assistance, so he clearly knows much about layton's ability to solve baffling mysteries. and isn't it fascinating how their relationship began over luke seeing layton as this genius celebrity? that surely leads into the way luke would proceed to idolize layton, and call himself "layton's apprentice" (over "layton's friend").

clark, upon learning that luke wrote the letter in his name, immediately lashes out at luke. he seems to care about luke, sure, but he's incredibly dismissive and easily assumes the worst. clark doesn't give luke the benefit of the doubt, or even the time of day to explain himself - so no wonder luke has refused to talk to his father! he wouldn't be allowed to get a word in edgewise anyway! (i apologize for immediately seeing the worst in clark, but immediately yelling at your son for doing something kind of bad before even listening to him is a red flag to me...)

and even after layton gets him to settle his anger, clark continues to be dismissive and reductive. of course, he has reason to question the prophecies his son claims to give, but it doesn't even seem like he's tried to ask luke about them: he just calls the whole matter ridiculous and leaves it at that. but then, interestingly, clark blames himself for this behavior... firstly, this is further evidence of his dismissiveness towards luke, as he sees his supposed soothsaying as something to be blamed for; secondly, in some way we do not yet know (he changed the subject and left before elaborating), he feels responsible for luke's current state, as if he's aware of his shortcomings as a father.

this fellow seems to be friends with luke's mother, and finds it odd that she's left for so long without speaking a word, suggesting that perhaps she's had a spat with clark. notably, even though he proceeds to dismiss this, saying the two are a happy couple, luke briefly interjects as if his parents have indeed argued recently. in general, i'm inclined to believe luke's home life isn't the rosiest...
