#professor holly

[sneasedtomeetyou]

Do you guys mind if I complain a little bit? Get a little candid with you? We came all of this way because Professor Holly absolutely refuses to travel at her age. Sure! Fine, I get that. We come all this way here, drive all the way out here through the snow which let me tell you really increases the drive time when roads are icing over. Anyway. All of that and then we still have to wait overnight for the test results.

Wanting to see a rare specimen is one thing, you don't exactly see a shiny Hisuian Sneasel every day, but GODS I'm so tired. All this way when we could've sent some DNA samples through the mail or something. My eyes hurt. I want to cry. I'm cold and I'm bitter.

Round 1 the top 4 were Kukui, Sycamore, Birch, and either Elm or Sada. I'll hold an elimination round later if need be.

Round 2's top 4 were Clavell, Jacq, Hassel, and Raifort!

It's past time for round 3 of planty intellectuals

Bellis is named from the Genus containing the common daisy

Fennel is related to the carrot, and is said to have health benefits of improved heart health, reduce inflammation, and apparently suppress'es appetite.

Cedric is the professor Junipers father

Cynthia is a Rhododendron catawbiense hybrid that was developed by John Standish and Charles Noble of Sunningdale Nursery in Devon, England in the 1840's and 1850's. Look it up it's really pretty.

Cynthia herself is a researcher and archeologist

Lusamine is named from Balsamina plant, which has many uses in traditional medicine. Some include burns, snake bites, warts, constipation, and fractures, depending on which part of the plant is used. It is native to India and Myanmar, and invasive on several Pacific Ocean islands. More common names include touch-me-not and spotted snap weed.

Her whole family has plant names, and her which kid takes over the family science business depends on the game variant you play. (Original or Ultra) Gladion is named for Gladiolus, the Sword Lilly. In African medicine treatment it is used in treatments for diarrhea, constipation and colds.

Lillie is likewise named, and given her white colour scheme, may be named for white Lilly. Lilies are edible plants (unless you are a cat), and are traditionally used for coughs and sore throats, though are said to have many other uses medicinally.

Mohn is named for the German name for Poppy. It too has medicinal uses, most well known for Morphine.

Even Faba is named for an edible plant here, particularly after a type of bean.

Now for DLC stuff (or game I haven't played)

Cyanococcus is the scientific name of Blueberry. English threw some other influences in there and added the r. He and his fellow professor Briar (named for thorny shrub plants such as wild roses), are technically from Unova, for all they show up in the ScarVi DLC.

I was tempted to put Hop (climbing plant commonly used to grow beer) on the list, but like Lillie and Gladion, they do not start their studies in game. Closest would be Lillie who was actually a research assistant at game start.

Heath (shortened form of heather) could have worked for the poll too. Personally, I would have gone for Calluna as a name, that sounds nice to me.

One who has a name that could have hit plant, but went for a spelling and meaning for sinister was Sina, which could have been swapped to Senna, a herb whose leaves can be taken for constipation relief.

Plenty of research "rival" trainers who become assistants don't have a plant name, such as Bianca, who goes for a light name meaning, in contrast to Cheren's black.

Some people like Bill and have a plant name in Japan, that was changed to something else for English.

Bill was from masaki, or evergreen spindle, a small evergreen tree,

As it was changed in translation, I decided against including it as an option on the poll.

[dewgongs]

been playing a lot of pokemon tcg online and noticed this professor gets no love so i doodled her...

[pinkpinkmermayyy]

au where lightning’s mom was a spy, but was killed by the lemons when her home was invaded when she least expected it. Before the invaders could flee however, grem heard a baby monty mcqueen waking up in his crib, starting to cry when he fully gained consciousness and saw grem’s face. With a little persuasion from him to acer, grem was able to kidnap take in the kid and raise him in the oil factories without miles axelrod (or anyone outside of the “lemons mafia” really) finding out about his existence. Monty was renamed Lightning so that it would be harder for people in the outside world to identify him, and rarely had anything like television or connections to social media. Most of the lemons were like uncles to Lightning, with Grem and Acer being the “fun” uncles and Professor Zundapp being the scary but actually really caring one.

Zundapp obviously hated the idea of having some “snotty nosed whiny brat” as he put it running amok around the factories, but he actually grew fond of the kid over time and showed him his lab and latest inventions despite Lightning not understanding any of it at a young age. Would also call him “mein sohn” once in a while if he especially feeling fond of Lightning. In fact he actually becomes the lemon who genuinely loves and cares about lightning the most, and when he goes out into the real world for the first time (spoiler alert) along with finn, mater and holly, zundapp assumes that they kidnapped him and nearly mauls and murders them on sight before lightning quickly defuses the situation.

also btw lightning has never seen the sun before 😭😭 like he wont be allowed outside the buildings and onto the platforms during the day so hes usually just seen everything from night time so when he actually does leave the factories and sees the world at day time for the first time he just looks right into the sun and immediately gets flashed by it followed by mater being like “well dont look straight at it!”

so uhh if u guys have any other thoughts on this au lemme knowww lol

Found Family Tournament Round 2 Part 8 Group 39

Propaganda and further images under the cut

(Mod’s Note: Couldn’t find the source of the original Professor Layton photo. I think it might’ve been stolen fanart? Gonna feel real stupid if I’m mistaken.)

Lockwood & Co.: Anthony Lockwood, Lucy Carlyle, George Karim (& Quill Kipps, Holly Munro, Flo Bones)

Hershel Layton, Luke Triton & Flora Reinhold:

Sorry, I got no propaganda for them yet :(

Lockwood & Co.:

They are so witty and funny while being incredibly loving and tender with each other!

they are the best because they have all of the tropes the comfort the angst the hurt the drama and the love of a found family and they just AJSHHDHSGSGSHSHSHSJHA yeah.

They're traumatized teenagers who hunt ghosts and randomly proclaim they would die for each other! What could be better?

:{ Hello!! I am Echo, The Professor's Personal Porysistant™!! We've been at this for days but I think [Doppelganger] is finally starting to get it!! }: :{ A video file is embedded. [LOCATION UNAVAILABLE], Kanto. 12/24/23 4:45 pm. }:

This video starts with the hushed sounds of our two professors talking amongst one another, though the quiet words seem to be lost on us. Echo doesn’t seem too interested in this, however, and instead turns to look around this new-to-her space that we find ourselves in. This lab, though not too dissimilar to Amy’s in some ways, is much larger. Extensive bookshelves line the largest of the visible walls, and a large picture window lets in the warm evening light as it looks out over the nearby forest- quite the view really. 

As her attention refocuses on Casi and Amy we find them sitting at a table clearly meant for young students, the furniture scaled down to better accommodate them. Amy in particular appears out of place, shifting their legs and attempting to get comfortable in the small seat, favoring that left hip. Casi is able to fit well enough in his seat, a fact that seems to bother him more as he watches the taller professor, before making a bit of a face down at his own desk.. 

As echo comes closer the soft whispers between the two become more distinct, though still difficult to make out on the recording. They hold hands and Casi rests her head on Amy’s shoulder for a few moments.

Casi: Hey, we’ll get through this together, okay? I love you.

Amy: I love you too.

When Professor Holly enters the room, an extremely short older woman with gray hair streaked with the remnants of her natural green, Casi abruptly straightens up, flustered. His hand does not let go of Amy’s, however, dropping a bit in between them almost as if to hide the affection from the newcomer. Instead of tea this time the older professor has brought them a tray full of cookies. They smell amazing,- :{ Echo note: Who programmed me to smell?? Why is this something that I can do?? ‘:3 }:  -but combined with the classroom setting it becomes unclear if she is treating them more like colleagues or students. When Holly speaks her voice is gentle but holds a bit of a teasing humor in it. 

Holly: How are you two lovebirds feeling today?

Casi flushes at the word lovebirds but tries to ignore it. His voice is noticeably a bit higher when he speaks. 

Casi: Much better thank you! I do apologize for my… Outburst yesterday. Traveling can be stressful. 

Holly: Which is exactly why I refuse to do it. Did you manage to find a place to sleep last night that wasn’t your car? 

Casi: Am…Professor Amaryllis made the hotel arrangements, actually. 

Amy: It’s rather easy to do when you only have to book one hotel room. 

The statement itself is rather vague and casual, but the way Casi visibly reacts makes it clear what Amy is referring to. They chuckle under their breath at the dismayed look on Casi’s face, apparently finding a bit of humor themselves in the teasing. Almost as if to change the subject, Casi clears his throat and picks up a cookie.

Casi: Anyway… Umm.. Any results with the DNA test? 

Holly: The tests confirmed the Sneasel is in fact a cloned specimen. 

Casi: That isn’t possible.. If she was then I would’ve known about it. There’d be a record of her! 

Holly: It’s the truth. The evidence of the cloning process is clear in her genetic code. Casi: We don’t even have anyone working in Hoenn right now–

Holly: Are there any other programs that you lent DNA samples to? 

Casi: None that I’m aware of…

Holly: Then it may be best to get to the bottom of this quickly.

Casi starts nervously drumming her fingers against the table. She gets increasingly fidgety throughout the conversation, finishing one cookie and taking another, and then another, she doesn’t seem to notice how many she’s eating in her distracted state. Despite the obvious discomfort with the topic she tries to keep her tone level and respectful whenever possible- A tone of disbelief, nervousness maybe, but not anger. 

Casi: Could you trace the DNA back to anything specific? 

Holly: I wouldn’t have access to any of those records. 

Casi: I suppose I do… Next time I’m in Sinnoh I can look through our records for anything…

Amy: Think you’ll find something? Casi: I sincerely hope that I don’t…

Casi: ...Could you run the tests again? 

Holly: It won’t change anything, but I can rerun the sample if it will put you at ease. Casi: I need to be completely sure. If she truly is a cloned specimen then that’s a serious accusation to level.-

Amy hums and squeezes Casi’s hand- Bringing him a little bit back to the present and out of his head. Casi looks over at them and then down to the now half full plate of cookies and the new one that he’s just picked up. 

Casi: …These cookies are good.

Holly: Thank you! I made them myself.

{: Transcription ends :} {: Now imagine this conversation over and over again and [Doppelganger] eating cookies until he's sick and you have a rough outline of the past week!! ':3 :}

Ok but with the real Professor being called Concupiscence "Connie" McNasty I would like to put forward the name Hologram "Hollie" McNice for our glitchy fake Professor (or The Substitute via @moth-yknowtheartist)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to y'all!!! 🫶🎄🎄🎄💖💕🎄💖

Not much but have more Clarie content 🫶🫶

[masculinepeacock]

i keep seeing news about anti-trans and anti-queer bills and while yes, absolutely everyone should be safe to live their life openly and without fear, i feel like this is a good time to offer a reminder that you dont owe people information about yourself, especially strangers. you dont owe them personal information, you dont owe them your True Name, and not coming out isn't deceitful or outright lying, even if you are "safe". you do not owe people information, especially information that they could directly use to harm you. it all feels like something that will never happen to you until it does.

Descember Day 1: Holly

I have been on a Professor Layton hyperfixation recently. In between news of one of my favorite game series coming back, replaying the games I already have, and searching for the Prologue-series (that I was stupid enough to pass over back when they were in circulation), one character alias Descole has gotten me back into this series by the throat.

So, of course, I had to participate in Descember. That makes perfect sense.

I may not be able to post everyday due to internet issues but I will try to make something for each day and post it eventually.

[ultra-puzzlemaster]

Here's my first contribution for @descember ! The prompt is "holly"

Could Descole make a holly wreath? I'd say yes:

"A finely crafted wreath, if I do say so myself"
