Oh my god. The shapes in their faces, their color palettes, the way their poses are effectively opposites with Raymond a bit more hunched with his hands close to his face whereas Leon is standing at full height with his hands down and open. I don’t remember Raymond’s eye color but I wouldn’t be shocked if it was a similar shade of red-brown. But we don’t see that often because he keeps his eyes closed similarly to how Leon wears his shades at all times.

This I think feeds into the theories that a) Raymond was once part of Targent but has since retired, and b) that it was Raymond’s family that took Desmond in as a child. Even if it wasn’t like that, I’d wonder if Desmond takes comfort in the fact that he looks like Raymond more than he looks like Leon because of his darker, more brunette hair.

Raymond became Desmond’s caretaker, and while neither of them would admit it openly, perhaps it did evolve into a bit of a parent/child bond eventually. Or maybe Raymond would, just not to Desmond’s face.

One thing I find very interesting about Des and Layton is the fact that their color palettes are almost identical. Everything about character design is intentional, so the creators knew what they were doing and setting up.

But there's a very minute difference that I've noticed as I've made the Layton Brothers stuff. Desmond's hair is a touch more blonde than Hershel's. Just the cherry on top of the shitty cake he was dealt, making him look that minute bit more like Leon. Bigger nose, large light brown eyes, and the barest hint of blonde.

Perhaps that is why Desmond prefers the appearance of Descole, the persona. Because it hides everything that ties him to Leon.

⚠️AL SPOILERS DOWN HERE, open at your own risk⚠️

(Lately I'm being more cautios than usual since a fellow italian pl fan who's playing AL for the first time followed this messy blog a few days ago so... gotta be careful not to spoil the juicy stuff 👀)

Why if I have to imagine a post-AL Des I always imagine him as some kind of hot mafioso-looking guy?

(The first person that makes a joke abuout me being italian will be wearing cement shoes and become fish food 💀)

Jokes aside how do you imagine Des' life to be post-AL? Feel free to reblog and spam your opinion/designs/whatever! I really missed interacting with you ><

I feel he'd have some kind of healing and embrace both his Desmond and Descole personas finding a good balance in between. He would not be a nerdy archaeologist with heavy glasses and at the same time he would not be a crazy masked man thirsting for revenge, he would be just… Des.

This post by @popcorndispenser got me thinking about young Raymond and Des..

[brambletakato]

im not into animal crossing anymore (i sold my switch copy) but i think des would be a deer disguising as a wolf in his descole attire

Was thinking about that Descole-Janice teamup AU I came up with a few months back and decided it needed Keats.

RAYMOND SO TINY OMG

(csau - me & @snekatiemainy )

Desmond Sycamore and Keats, after the Events of Azran Legacy.

He definitely would buy or build the cat a gigantic cat tree, while he himself continues to sleep on the couch.

He’s training Des to stay in character

i did not expect to be as enraptured with this freak as i am. but here ya go. (MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE JUST STARTED AZRAN LEGACY NO SPOILERS)

[jesterday00]

My headcanon goes the opposite way specifically for the funny idea of tone deaf descole trying to unlock ambrosia on his own but it doesn’t work. The Azran rejecting his shit singing voice

I can see it tho. I think he used to sing to his daughter a lot. Before. You know. Haha. :3

God, the idea of him shakily trying to sing the song of the sea while Raymond hangs back with ear plugs in is so fuckin funny

[mortallychaotickingdom]

I'm firmly convinced that everyone needs a Raymond in their lives 💕

However this is my part for the art trade with the incredible ✨@mirza-majoris✨

She’s such a talented artist and lovely person so please if you’re into pl stuff and gorgeous art check her out! >:3 

[jistda]

been doodling some more young Raymond and Desmonds

[mirza-majoris]

Because we all need some old Scottish butler !

I drew these doodles a few months ago after seeing other peoples' edits of Descole and Janice together but didn't feel confident in cleaning up and posting them 'til today.

It was just supposed to be a joke, but I kinda like the idea of a spin off game/story where these two meet again and are forced into a mystery because reasons. Janice technically didn't get to be a proper character in her own debut movie, and Descole deserves to face at least some consequences of his actions.

+Bonus: Janice helping Raymond on a shopping trip.
