i corrupted Pandora's Box so hard that Layton began speaking in filenames.

(if you can't read what he's saying, it says "map/main5.bgx". he kept repeating that over and over until the game crashed, even when there wasn't supposed to be dialogue.)

[lexplained]

Two more maps from Diabolical Box, this time of Dropstone. One of the only maps I believe that changed depending on the time of day. Wish we could have spent more time there in game honestly.

Glad to be back!

Sorry for the long hiatus, things have been changing in my life lately. I still need some time to process, so I might not post for a little bit again. Hopefully things will get better!

As I like to say, I view the Layon series as one big lesson about dealing with loss, be it death or departure.

What Will You Leave Behind, the credits song from the game SpiritFarer (a game all about death and saying goodbye), seemed like a perfect fit.

This video (obviously) contains spoilers for every main Layton game and the film.

As always, thanks to @dearesthershel for the Spectre's Call, Miracle Mask and Azran Legacy cutscenes. The Pandora's Box and Lost Future cutscenes are from Professor Layton Extra ITA, while Curious Village I got from BlueFlareLegend. Eternal Diva scenes are from the English dub posted by gr1309.

It's my favorite Professor Layton post of all time, but I can't find the original so...

I told myself I would go to sleep early and yet I still stayed up until late just to make this

welcome once again to bee thinks and cries over anton, sophia & katia

——

just think about it anton waited how ever many years for her to come back, he let himself practically to rot waiting for sophia to someday come back to him

and when “sophia” supposedly comes it’s not even her, it’s his granddaughter who came to tell him that sophia is dead and that he’s been blind to the truth this whole time

no wonder he goes out with a fit of rage! Anton has only just found out the woman who he loved, still loves has gone left him alone.

only for his granddaughter to tell him sophia never stopped thinking about him, she told their story because she never fell out of love

and his heart begins to heal once he reads the letter, the only thing, apart from the memories that were left of sophia

but I’m sure he sees Sophia in katia every day and it hurts that she’s not there with them to celebrate this new bond between grandchild and grandparent

but they make the most of the memories they have of her, even though she’s not there with them she lives on in their hearts

this is so jumbled but take my thoughts anyway

Me too, Luke

Me too

Wait hold on hold on hold on

How old is Anthony supposed to be before the reveal?

Because it's always about how funny the swords fight is in hindsight but his whole plot is like old teens early twenties stuff.

And isn't Katia implied to be 18 or so? And he resembles Sophia in the flasbacks. I gotta check the Old Diary but

The sword fight is "guy fights a man twice his age" both times.

Screenshots I took while playing the Layton games on mobile

Diabolical/Pandora's box edition:

I just love his little glare

Just a fun drawing I love Layton in the background and Luke's perpetual :0 face

So true Luke

Luke: 😟

This used to be funny before I started the third game (which I'm not finished with so no spoilers) but now it's just sad

A very cute Luke I love him

Luke once again being a cutie

♥️💞💚🩵💗💜

"Flora... What did you just say?"

why is the professor layton fandom so unanimous in the fact that Pandora’s (diabolical) box is the best game. SHUT UP. IT SUCKS. SHUTTTTTT UPPPPPP. liking any game other than Pandora’s box should NOT be a hot take and the fact that my fave game is in the prequel trilogy is NOT WEIRD. they had an established universe, colourful characters, and way better puzzles, but fuck that because Pandora’s box plot twist is good??? NO. SHUT UP. LET ME LIKE SOMETHING ELSE.
