an inanimate insanity x professor layton au...

cuthbert (steve cobs) is an incredibly intelligent and wealthy inventor who invented numerous technologies influential in the modern age - but he never got the recognition he deserved for his ideas, or so he felt. he wanted someone to finally worship him like the god he thought himself to be, so he used his skills to create a synthetic human, an automaton nearly indistinguishable from a real person: the only difference was that this person could be brought back from "death" by his creator. this automaton was infused with and powered by the shimmering shell cuthbert had once discovered, a relic belonging to an ancient civilization on a remote island which its people had once used as a source of perpetual energy.

this perfect automaton was named merle phenom (mephone), and was made to be cuthbert's son and inferior, always looking up to him. but over time, it was apparent that merle's code was faulty: he did not respect cuthbert in the way he desired. instead of simply admiring the skill that went into his father's inventions (including himself), merle wanted to learn that skill for himself. to cuthbert, this was like man wanting to be god: it was utter hubris, utter blasphemy. he soon grew sick of his son and sent him away from the house. but as he was leaving, merle snuck out with another, unfinished automaton named milo padden (mepad) - who, apparently, was supposed to be merle's replacement.

merle was upset by his father's dismissal, and, out of spite, worked hard to learn his father's craft - to invent, even better than he did. part of this was possible on account of a flaw in merle's code: he knew he was an invention, an automaton, and so had the mind to look at his own programming to see how someone like him could be made. his skill in invention increased rapidly, resulting in the completion of milo's construction, and merle soon amassed his own massive wealth. merle and milo both knew each other to be automata, but that was a secret between them, one merle made him swear to never tell - and merle felt alienated from the rest of society, only truly himself around milo. he could never be truly happy, he thought, living in a world of humans...

so merle used his money to fund an expedition to find a hidden, uninhabited island to claim (which his soul seemed to draw him to), build houses and infrastructure on it, and create an entire population of automata to live in that island town and keep him company. he wanted to be their equals, for it to never come up that he'd made them, so he made sure to program them to think they were real people with real lives before and outside this town - he also made milo promise to never tell them their true origin. merle specially coded his townspeople to have exaggerated, cartoonish personalities, such that there'd be entertaining tomfoolery and mischief at all times. also, on account of being automata needing power to function, and lacking any sort of battery, the townspeople could not leave the island - they didn't know it, but it was the shimmering shell within merle which brought them life. lacking individual power sources, they all would "die" if they left merle's presence; but why would they want to? it hadn't been merle's intention to trap them all there, but he found it very convenient: his friends would never leave him now! they could play and fool about forever, in an eternal, naïve paradise...

...but, in recent times, not everything has been so rosy. while the bickering and bantering between the townsfolk had been mild at first, it soon turned into bitter fighting, to the point where people have wanted to move out - only to find they couldn't, for they would collapse on the shore right outside town. tragedy struck when one townsperson, bella (bow), got swept away into the ocean after powering down on the beach, never to be seen again... worth noting is that, even if the fighting has become more severe, merle finds it entertaining all the same.

on top of this, someone named tom lesley (toilet) from outside had somehow found the island and decided to move into town - with nowhere to live (there were only enough houses built for merle, milo, and the townspeople merle made), he decided to move in with merle himself. merle acquiesced at first, but soon became frustrated with tom, whom he found incredibly annoying. this opened the door for merle to be mean to him, and then he started to be mean to the other townsfolk, including his best friend milo. from there the town became a locked box full of people who despised each other, and things descended into chaos.

(little did merle know, tom is another automaton made by his father: an automaton designed to 1. spy on merle and 2. piss merle off, such that all of this fighting would happen. unlike merle, tom's source of energy is a simple yet powerful battery: long-lasting, but ultimately finite, unlike the shimmering shell.)

one of the townsfolk, tess, has developed a knack for inventing, not knowing merle's own proclivity for it - and she used this skill to create her own automaton. with the help of her friend finn, she created a replica of bella, powered by solar energy. but this new bella, much like the rest of the automata, began to expand outside the confines of her programmed personality - partly because, like merle, she wasn't specifically programmed to think she was real. one of the first things that made her discover the discrepancy between herself and everyone else was the fact that, despite everyone fearing the beach and telling new bella not to go (as this was how old bella died, and nobody knew the power source was to blame), she was totally fine. new bella took on a new name, blythe (bot), and soon started investigating the town's curiosities (listed in no particular order):

1) why can none of the townsfolk leave the town's boundaries except for blythe?

2) why is everyone fighting so much, and why is merle the only townsperson to not be bothered by it?

3) why don't the townspeople's life stories (life before the island, how they got to the island) add up or make sense, except for merle's?

4) why are there so few inhabitants on the island?

5) why does the librarian, cassidy (cabby), not believe the town history display in town hall?

6) where did the ancient ruins right outside of town come from?

7) why is casey sue (suitcase) so keen out of everyone to leave, and what does she mean when she claims that she isn't real?

8) where did tom come from? how did he find the island, and why?

9) how do the townsfolk keep coming back from what would otherwise fatal injuries?

10) what are merle and milo hiding?

but when blythe found no answers to their questions, they built a boat and set out for land. there, blythe heard of professor layton... and sought him out for assistance.

and that's where the adventure would truly begin! below is just some fun dialogue i wrote for when blythe is first talking to layton...

layton: "now, blythe, i do apologize for asking such a blunt question... but i cannot tell if you are a gentleman or a lady by simple observation, and i do not wish to offend you by assuming you are either. would you kindly tell me how i should refer to you?"

blythe: "no worries, professor! i am neither gentleman nor lady, in fact. i appreciate your asking; not many people do."

layton: "of course. thank you, blythe."

luke: "but professor, how could blythe be neither a boy nor a girl? i've never heard of such a thing before in my life!"

layton: "the world is full of interesting things, my boy. it does us no good too reject something, or someone, on account of it being foreign to us. and i'm sure our friend blythe would appreciate if you did not talk about them in the third person."

luke: "them... oh, my apologies, blythe! i did not mean to be rude! i do find it cool that you're neither. i'm glad to know that's possible."

blythe: "you learn something new every day!"

I have suffered many years with PCOS- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome  from a teenager, I was diagnosed officially in 2008 and I hit a huge depression state because the symptoms was terrible and once I really wanted to try to have children I was told it would be impossible (and i tried for 4 years).

PCOS- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges along with other hormonal dysfunctions and side effects such as:

infertility

hair thinning/loss

severe cramping (especially during menstrual)

face/body acne and hair

weight gain or (RARELY:severe weight loss)

skin discoloration and skin tags

low energy/fatigue

cysts on the ovaries

pre-diabetes

diabetes

blood pressure issues

glucose levels high

insulin resistant

and much much more!

I have done it all from starving myself,portion control,no salt foods,low fat, vegetarian lifestyle and much more but although i lost much weight and got rid of some symptoms… I just could not get rid of them all permanently! Unfortunately once i was able to get pregnant these symptoms tripled even when i ate clean and ate nothing but fruit,”healthy carbs” and popcorn because of morning sickness during my whole pregnancy so couldn’t stomach anything else and after my second child i just gave birth to in July 2017; I felt like i was going to DIE! I had heart issues and everything was out of whack! I visited my doctor a month after labor in Aug 2017 and he told me i needed to start a low carb diet,exercise and i needed to take all these meds to manage not just my PCOS but my IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), Joint Pains,Fatigue etc. too! I was so scared so i tried lowing my carbs but i felt deprived and even more hungry,sore all over and fatigue (now i know its because i wasn’t adding fats to my meals). So i gave up! Started eating “low fat and clean” again because that’s what i knew about more and even worked out daily killing myself! My days was typically doing Smoothie cleanses on weekend(lots of fructose aka glucose/sugar), ate my whole grains lunch and dinner(more glucose aka sugar) and lean protein(way to much sometimes which spilled over as glucose/sugar in my body) plus fruits and veggies daily(which also caused insulin spikes and bloat) lots of water- Sounds very healthy right?…. My body didn’t think so

Late Oct. 2017 I went to see my endocrinologist and she told me that my glucose(sugar) was sky high and that i was pre-diabetic/borderline diabetic AGAIN but worse this time and she wanted to put me on all kinds of meds including metformin at a higher dosage but she wanted me to meet with her and her nutritionist first and she will give me the prescriptions next appointment, During this meeting they talked about foods that im currently eating thinking they’re healthy but they’re actually doing my body a disservice just like some people who apear “healthy” on the outside but really not inside. So they suggested a ketogenic lifestyle change… not just a typical low carb diet because i needed the high fat as fuel and they went into details but at that time i was so lost and confused because i was told the opposite for so many years to avoid fats,eat all fruits and veggies and low calorie plus no salt etc. that i just was not listening! Sad part is this was also suggested for my autistic daughter back in 2010-ish vs a gluten free diet from her old doctor because its great for the brain and kids with autism and epilepsy as well but that time i was still drinking kool-aid and eating processed foods so i really was not for it!…

I went home and acted like nothing happened and never set my next appointment,Got depressed because i thought i was eating clean and it worked before in the past so the ’emotional eating’ began! I kept telling myself that i couldn’t do something new with holidays and birthdays coming up(my biggest excuses) and although i did try some of these keto meals and i was partially looking into it for awhile, I still didn’t take it seriously…Until I did a Christmas photo shoot in Dec. 2017 and i realized just how much i let myself go! I always feel beautiful and full of spirit but health makes a huge difference to show it as well!!

Enough was enough… I started to research even more of the science behind ketogenic lifestyle watching people on YouTube like Dr. Berg,Keto Connect,thomas lauer,Jason Whitrock and many more plus i watched a very great documentary called “The Magic Pill” on Netflix and I WAS SOLD! I was totally starting to understand and listen. So i started eliminating carbs,keeping at 50 grams or less daily, removing stuff in my kitchen and although i had my cheats here and there i still lost 10 lbs going from 250lbs to 240lbs but then my anniversary month came and that threw me off my game for all of feb 2018 and march 2018 then last week of April came and i decided enough cheating and its time to really make this my lifestyle for the long hall and it was time to set a date for may 1st and just go all in… no sweet treat besides a cup of ice cream on the weekend once every  week or two, I didn’t do the bread,pasta or rice instead i found alternatives and i actually love it more now! Once i did this for only 6 weeks with occasional tracking and checking in with my app called “Carb Manager” then i decided to jump on scale and i lost 30 lbs in just a short 6 weeks, My mind was BLOWN.

I noticed right then and there that this was gonna be my new lifestyle forever! I guess they was not lying when they said ” Results have you addicted and coming for more” becuase this was truly how i felt and still do! So far it has been 5 months since starting my keto lifestyle journey and i’ve already lost 53+ lbs and counting!

After watching a very close friend of mines have outstanding results of 90+lbs in only a little over a year! NOW i want to help others do the same and have partnered up with The Ketogenic lifestyle company Wakaya Perfection owned by the founder of the very own Fiji Water David Gilmour and is also one of Oprah’s favorite things in her magazines! The company focuses on using the keto lifestyle and incorporating hydration,detoxing and using holistics such as very high impact Fijian turmeric and ginger,essential oils and much more! So far it has made a difference in making my joint pain go away completely and giving me the energy to be a busy mom with 3 kids at home,working and helping people live this lifestyle . Im super excited to whats to come with Wakaya Perfection and if you have any questions about the system or the products i use, please contact me or comment below and ill reach out!
