THE LIVING MUSEUM: CHAPTER 1

(interactive puzzle at the bottom!)

As luck would have it, the detective had a case that had just been given to her by the Chief Constable Barton (talk about a high order!) I watched as she leafed through the folders on her desk before slipping out a small stack of papers and bringing them over to me. Clearing her throat, Detective Layton ran over the details…

“At approximately 2:00pm, a fire alarm in the Natural History Museum sounded. Around 5 minutes later, visitors in the museum reported that they witnessed several exhibits, and I quote, ‘come to life before their eyes.’ There were visitors who told officials that the suits of armour on display had started to move and raise their weapons, visitors who reported that paintings on the walls started to melt and blink, and visitors who said that the dinosaur skeleton exhibits had opened their mouths and moved their heads. But the most damning of all seemed to be the Tyrannosaurus rex exhibit, who not just moved but assumed a lunging stance with its full body, as well as somehow roared.”

“Right, that’s odd. And?”

“Well, since the officials were only able to question the visitors outside of the museum due to everyone having been evacuated because of the fire alarm, naturally they went inside to check the exhibits themselves.”

“And they found…?”

“Nothing. They did a whole sweep of the area, but they found nothing out of place. All exhibits were in their normal places, the paintings were just fine, and everything was untouched.”

“Wow…”

“I assume the reason that Barton held onto what information they had on it and handed it to me was due to the witnesses. Despite the fact that the Yard found no obvious signs of tampering, everyone swears up and down the walls that the museum had seemingly come to life at that moment.”

“...That is a proper mystery. And these files are all we have on the matter?”

“Well, in a sense, yes. These are all the files we have,” Detective Layton muses as she taps the bottom of the stack on the coffee table. Then, getting up, she drops the stack back in their folder. “...Which is why I was thinking of heading over to the museum myself to do a bit of personal investigation.”

“As expected of the great Professor Layton,” I say cheekily as I stand and follow her to the front door, grabbing my jacket off the hanger in the process. The detective sighs lightly as she places her hat on her head, pulling the brim over her eyes in mock disappointment. “Please, Ms. Altava. It's just Detective.”

Now lifting the brim, she smiles brightly as she grabs her umbrella.

“So, Ms. Altava… let’s go investigate this living museum with our own two eyes, shall we?”

And with that, our adventure into the peculiar museum begi-

“Ah, but before that, I have here the directions to the museum written for me by Barton, and it seems to be a puzzle of some sort. As you’re now my assistant, why don’t you give it a shot? Think of it as a warm-up of things to come.”

…Right. She’s Layton’s daughter, after all. How could I have forgotten? …And are we sure they're not really related by blood…?

PUZZLE 1: Where's The Museum?

Take your time and think about the answer, or Flora (and the puzzle master) will be very disappointed in you...!

Did Sonic said something insensitive regarding Shadow’s demeanor or/and past? About Maria ? ?? In Coraline AU I mean

no, he just knows deep down that shadow really does miss her, even if he has moved on. grief is funny like that

whatever created this world wants it to be perfect for sonic. sonic wants shadow to be happy. sonic knows shadow was happy with maria, simple as that

@peachmuses: theyre out shopping, shuuzou had found a nicer belt that he liked -- that he wouldn't wear himself but makoto would, and had disappeared leaving the rest of pb behind. he reappears, and tugs makoto closer to him, ignoring the others intently focused on his goal. fingers quickly, expertly, undoes makoto's current belt, tugs it through and is replacing it with the newest one. leather, black, golden accessories that matches makotos eyes more than the silver on the previous. he nods in approval to himself. he knew he had excellent taste in accessories and what would look good on makoto. he finally looks up, " there. "

when makoto said that he liked being manhandled — actually. this is what he meant / it falls into the category of it, but never did he think that shuuzou would take it upon himself to drag him off to the side to snatch his belt off in the middle of the store. makoto stares, stunned / he can also feel kazuya and tatsuya boring holes in the back of his head. answers. they need answers. answers that makoto doesn’t have — and shuuzou’s still not said a word as he begins threading a new belt into loops.

makoto could have, if he was asked to, easily have done this himself, actually. and yet, he’s too stunned to say or do anything about it, allowing best friend to decorate him as he pleases.

“ is it just me, ” kazuya starts, voice low as he leans into tatsuya, “ or….? ” his head tilts, hidden brow raises as shuuzou finishes, looking back at his work like some artist appreciating his work. volume raises, inquisitive and slow, “ mako? ”

“ i— ” makoto blinks himself back into reality, head turning to look towards the other two. ah. “ i… have no clue, man. i just let him do whatever. ”

carry. for your muse to insist on carrying my muse when injured.

             a  steadying  arm  around  maddie's  shoulders.  her  uniform  is  gritty  with  dust,  and  blood  stains  her  collar.  the  injury  has  her  hair  sticking  to  her  temple,  dyed  a  deep  red.  indra's  golden  brown  eyes  cool,  but  the  concern  she  would  deny  feeling  lies  somewhere  within  them.  dangerous.  bury  it.  eradicate  it.  a  gnawing  uneasiness  as  she  realizes  the  arm  supporting  maddie  is  more  tender  than  she's  comfortable  with.  why  had  she  worried  so  earnestly?  she's  weakened,  grown  attached.  how  does  she  go  back?

            she  masks.  a  smirk  twitches  the  corner  of  her  lip.  “  with  that  concussion,  it  is  a  wonder  you  can  talk,  let  alone  walk.  besides,  wouldn't  it  be  nice  to  be  in  my  arms?  now,  upsie  daisy.  ”

Kinda weird question- do you have any links to people talking about Mira from ZTD and ableist stereotypes? I mentioned that I was uncomfortable with her portrayal but kinda fumbled it and made some other ND people in chat uncomfortable. I searched for various keyword combinations but most of what I'm finding is like "and not to mention the ableism with Mira" and doesn't elaborate lol.

Not weird at all! And uh, you see, there's a recent post I made where what I complain about is the very fact I've never seen anyone post too in-depth about her at all, I'd love to see posts that do elaborate on that but I do not have any that I know of right now, sorry :/ hopefully someone else who sees this can point to one? Okay!! After some tag searches I have found exactly one post who kind of gets into it I like this take still would love to see. more than just one but hooray

And like though I complain I couldn't elaborate much on it myself I don't think, I believe most of the posts people make about Saito from aitsf would apply since it's a different uchikoshi take on the very same trope of "emotionless characters who cannot function without killing others" I guess he's a worse portrayal though since she's at least not stated to get reward brain chemicals when killing people and I guess her case also has the added layer of "femme fatale" to it? Which either makes it less bad or worse depending on where you approach it from As I said I am not doing a good job of being coherent on this oh and also there's her being "redeemed" and "cured" in the epilogue which in on itself is kinda not great to imply it just goes away like that and honestly I personally don't even buy it I think she'd just be like oh okay Akane over here has like a thousand reasons to hate me after all that oh and what's that she's the leader of a super wealthy underground organization who's organized one of these death traps before yeah no I'm better off going to prison I'll be fine there lmao bye

But I'll say as an autistic person with relatively low empathy I usually see a character who just doesn't understand other people's feelings and wants to feel them too and is just trying to survive despite getting no help and I just kinda go hm. yeah. shout-out to roxas kingdom hearts shout out to mary from ib shout out that's why I started hyperfixating on media art helps me with understanding others a great lot and Mira is just in a story too badly executed for me to care or even begin to wrap my head around tbh like god she's so fucking terribly used as a plot device in every conceivable way that it makes it difficult to see past it and into what she could possibly be if it weren't for the stereotype of equalling low empathy with no compassion what's with her killing off screen in ways that wildly deviate from her stated m.o? why or how was she even in cahoots with Zero why was that a thing? Honestly her dynamic with Sean could have been better fleshed out could have done something interesting about robot child and his aspd big sis but we just kind of don't get any attention brought to the subject of emotions and the authenticity there of except for the "reveal"...

YOU KNOW WHAT that's probably one huge reason it feels so fucked up actually! Like the whole fucking game is written so you could experience it in whatever order you want and therefore Mira being a serial killer at all is something that though not very well hidden it also cannot be a topic of discussion or explored Ever ever because the player may not have seen the fragment where that is revealed yet- problem being the menu design of that game sucks so bad and practically everyone gravitates towards the same few more interesting looking thumbnails first and then the rest is kinda just there, I mean that is part of the reason A Lot of characters feel half-baked I think but also I think it definitely does impact perception of her character specifically probably The Most and then there's just the general not being given nuance not being able to see the minutiae of how that disorder manifests in her character aside from the killings about how she acts aside from being overly flirty trying to lure in Eric but that affects pretty much all of the new cast we don't have last names and in her case we barely have any backstory at all like Saito is a harmful stereotype sure but we get So Much Context for him that people still love talking about him and delving into different aspects of his life since we have that very well telegraphed in the narrative meanwhile for Mira all we can do is fill in the blanks guesswork that only highlights the worst aspects of the surface level portrayal we got and ultimately that people just don't care enough to dissect because there isn't much there character wise once you remove it

i didnt see the hug i wanted so .... iako LEAPS INTO KAEDE'S ARMS SHES SO SMOL SHE CAN DO IT

{Different Ways to Hug Someone } - The Iako Way!!

"Oh-!!" Thankfully Kaede was able to react quickly, gasping when Iako suddenly leaped into her arms like that! She caught her and, aside from a slight stumble back, was able to keep her nice and secure in the hold without dropping her.

"Woah, you surprised me, Iako!! I'm glad I caught you! Heh heh, you fit nice and snug in my arms~!" She teased, due to how much taller Kaede is compared to her. Iako looked even tinier when she's held up in Kaede's arms so easily like this...

With a giggle, she holds Iako even tighter against her, nuzzling the top of her head with her chin! "Well, I hope you weren't trying to stay like this for a second, because I'm not putting you down until I feel like it! You're gonna get spoiled by me and you're gonna like it~!"

So from what you told me and what I can tell, orv is about a guy who gets teleported to the novel he was reading to help fix the ending, the other guy and girl who he's with in the fanart are characters from the novel. And then at some point in the end he went back to his own original world. What about the other 2 characters though? Are they now just considered fictional characters from his world's perspective?

this is actually a very good guess considering the content ive reblogged recently

its less that he gets teleported to the novel and more that the novel becomes real. the other guy hes with is the protagonist of the novel and the girl is a writer who plagiarized the novel. explaining the whole worldline thing would probably take me awhile and include heavy spoilers so i dont know if ill get into all of that but there is some worldline shenanigans with him at the end of the novel. many of the novel characters who became real eventually learn of their origin and begin to move beyond their circumstances and are recognized as no longer 'characters' at some point in their arcs.

the whole novel toys around a lot with what it means for a book to become reality or for reality to be a book. some very fun mind games, and after 6000 pages everything takes on a whole new meaning

[charles-leclerc-official]

Hiii luci I just finished reading your analysis, and also watching Charles’ French interview where he said “the feeling was good” but the result just wasn’t there. It’s starting to make sense to me (I think!). The thing is, I’m trying soooo hard to not fall into this recency bias but I just don’t understand why Carlos seems to get better times out of the car this race (and last race). Is there specific things we can point to that will explain this? I’m worried because of how baffled charles seemed in the post qualifying interviews. (Also sorry I know I’m probably being annoying by being so worried/panicky all the time about this, with my limited knowledge 😖😖 thank you for being patient with me and always explaining this stuff 😖🙏) —🍊

Yes there is.

Last race I already explained why Carlos was ahead. And remember last race Charles was faster.

This time I think it's mainly because he isn't as gentle on the tyres and usually that's a bad thing, however on a car where tyre warming is an issue and with the cooler temps as a factor that can actually help(being rougher on the tyres will get them warmer). He also wasn't that far off, 1/10th off in qualifying really isn't anything huge. So to me the Ferraris are basically the same as far as the car is concerned. So the difference between what they got out of the car really isn't that different. It's more a symptom of how close the entire upper half of the field is more than anything.

F1 has a lot of ups and downs, we have a long season so I am really not worried over the possibility of mid results for one race (especially this early in the season)

@peachmuses: a cave! a trove ! a something that shuuzou doesn't know the actual word for, but he's hopelessly lost anyways. he probably shouldn't be in here, but he's only a mere years of age, and exploring is his favorite thing to do. he sees something that glows yellow, and twists tail to swim over. he blinks, surprised, and excited, tail flashing orange. " oh you're a person too ! " silence, and shuuzou flips over, tail twisting, " I haven't seen anyone glow like this besides myself. " and even then, he doesn't always glow. he leans forward, " thats so cool. " mere seconds before he's shocked when he touches fins. he falters, sinks a bit in the water,and sees stars. when vision finally focuses again, " ow okay. no touching. sorry, sorry. I'm shuu, who are you ? "/ oceanverse uwu

makoto notices the other before he's seen, simply choosing to hide away instead of coming out, fearing that it'll be more of the same. trying to avoid this, makoto swims towards the rocks, lowering himself and dimming himself as to not be noticed / a failed effort as the other person begins swimming over. he speaks and makoto blinks at him, slowly pushing himself further behind rock before he's followed more and makoto comes out from the other side, staring at the new person, head tilted. new person -- creature -- shuuzou, he calls himself, touches his fin just as makoto tries shying away, only for makoto to shock him before he shifts to sit atop the rock. again, makoto tilts his head, watching shuuzou recollects himself, only tilting his head the opposite way in response.
