“The unwound future” MORE LIKE ME CRYING ALL THE TEARS MY BODY WAS KEEPING

[beezonia]

Brain wanted to speak about Claire and Clive so you get this little rant

I really like how both of them realise their mistakes, yes it’s a different times. But they still atone for what they did.

Claire pays the price of her own life, and in her second chance not only gets to atone, but gets to see the man she loves once more in action

Clive pays the price with prison time, but thanks to the man who saved him once, stops even more damage to a world full of good and bad people

(Also Hawkes gets arrested that must be banging for both of them)

I just love how Claire and Clive are so similar but so different (Claire tends to stay behind and watch until she decides to take action, Clive comes up with elaborate plans to enact revenge.)

I love them a lot guys

Professor Layton "This has been such a quite an evening..." original edit

When looking at my files in my old computer I found the original version of this edit I made before settling on the my second try at this audio with the more concise narrative. Though I do prefer the prequel P.L games version, this is one of my oldest edits and thought it might be nice to see what almost was.

I hope you like it!

Also of note in this version its more of all the characters confessing to all the crimes they've done rather than just Descole like in the original Studio C sketch.

A Critical Role and Professor Layton crossover was NOT something I expected when I did a random google search but okay!

(for context, Liam O’Brien voices Subject 3 and Dimitri Allen in Unwound Future and Clark Triton in The Last Scepter, Laura Bailey voices Angela Ledore in Miracle Mask, and Matt FREAKING Mercer voices Henry Ledore in Miracle Mask)

New Professor Layton announcement

Me frantically searching for my DS charger so I can Binge all the old games in preparation

[sassyminnesotan]

The Professor Layton games are very funny on many levels but I think the funniest part how they've set up this quaint world full of whimsical characters and then every game we get some more genuinely dark and tragic backstory for our mild-mannered main character.

Like, oh haha, this bland looking dude has a kid sidekick and lives in a world of Scooby-Doo logic. He's also a master swordsman who has lost half the people he's ever cared about in a number of deeply traumatic circumstances.

Mystery-Man Layton..

Saw this post about how he's basically built his personality from bits and pieces of all the other people in his life and felt like drawing something...

MORE CLAIRE ANALYSIS!!

No’1

This is at the end of curious village right, that’s Claire’s outfit in lost future. What was that doing there?

Was it trying to foreshadow something to do with the next game or was it something deeper idk I just wanted to bring it to your attention!

No’2

Look at her, her joyful/proud “you did it” she’s so proud and in awe of what hershel does.

Claire as Celeste gets to support her boyfriend once more, gets to praise him and tell him how amazed she is with what he does.

Same goes for hersh when he says something like “you clearly know more about machines then I do” I’m a really amazed tone.

She’s so soft for her boyfriend and seeing him again it allows her to show her love for him one last time.

No’3/4

This whole conversation she has with Clive show’s her compassion and her regret, even after everything Clive has done Claire still shows him kindness and goes after him.

We can see it’s partially because of her guilt, I’ve said this before in my previous analysis that she knows what she did was wrong and this second chance is her doing everything she can to atone for it.

Second reason is my personal opinion/head-cannon of Claire being that sort of mother figure to some, she’s both extremely strong and caring and this is where it shines.

A innocent child hurt and probably still grieving needs a shoulder to lean on and what does Claire do she goes back for him, she doesn’t want anymore lives to be negatively effected by this tragedy she doesn’t want anymore deaths because of the project she was part off.

She puts the blame on herself, it’s like she’s punishing herself (far reach idk about this yet) for something that she didn’t stop and couldn’t control.

So Claire does what she does and chooses to yet again sacrifice her life and save Clive instead of doing the safe thing and leaving with the rest.

It’s her guilt again I think specifically with the second picture where she’s talking about how this was all because of scientists.

No’5/6

This is yet again Claire showing her love for Hershel.

She’s searching, wondering if he would actually come back, which may look like she doesn’t believe it.

But we hear he gasp of relief when she spots him and her eyebrows crease in a sort of sad happiness, Claire gets to see him again.

She gets to spend that scarce amount of time she has left watching him thrive in his element. Somethings she hasn’t seen in a long long time.

———

God I love Claire Foley so much, bring her back lvl five pls. I hope you enjoyed this rushed analysis.

But at least I’m writing a fic where she’s one of two main characters so that’s a bonus.

After all if lvl 5 won’t do it that fandom surely will.
