@magnifiico continued from here!

Hershel was a man with a love of puzzle solving. No matter their simplicity or intensity, the professor could figure out the solution in only a matter of minutes, if it even took that long at all. It stumped him as to why he couldn't have been able to figure out something as easy as a precise address, but the residents of Rosas seemed to have no ideas either. Was he sent on a wild goose chase? Was this what he was meant to believe? There was no other indication from the letter, which started to make him doubt his selflessness. He had hope he hadn't been tricked; how foolish he would be to be sent away from his home to help nothing. No, he had to have missed something, somewhere.

Before the professor can delve too much into his own mind, a wave from an incoming person drags him from the desperate depths. Simple, formal finger flutters, and the beaded eyes had the king's full attention. Royalty was unbeknownst to Hershel, but it wouldn't take very long to find that out. Most people were open with him, as he was to them, unless they had something to hide. If this well-dressed gentleman had stepped out of his way to assist him, that gave the idea to Hershel that he had nothing to fear. Unless, of course, he was proven wrong. He'd cross that bridge when he got there.

"Greetings to you too, sir," Hershel replied, tipping his hat carefully in his own modest introduction. He wouldn't argue with the new face that surely was no stranger to Rosas. Not only was he somebody unfamiliar with the kingdom, he was his own beacon in some unpractical way. The archaeologist was lost, stiff in the ways he stood, and confused. Almost everyone in the kingdom Hershel came across had some sort of joy to them, something he unfortunately was lost to for the time being. That didn't stop him from giving Magnifico an inch of a smile, though.

"Right you are. My presence has been requested within this general area, however to where I'm meant to be is beyond my knowledge. I've searched outside of this kingdom for my answer, but only now do I venture within its boarders. I asked plenty of townsfolk for assistance, but I've had little luck." A nervous chuckle escaped the professor and then gave Magnifico a somewhat wider smile. "Your help would be grateful! I appreciate your offer, kind gentleman."

A hand reached under his coat, only to pull out a letter. The piece of paper was handed to Magnifico. "This is the invitation I had received, alongside an address. Would you happen to know where I'm meant to be heading?"

Said address actually lead to somewhere inside Rosas! Unfortunately for Hershel and the residents the professor had spoken to prior, this is a very tucked-away street. Most wouldn't have heard of it, but the king might've. Hershel's eyes gazed at the letter, then softly up at the noble, silently waiting for him to give him the final piece of the puzzle he needed.

In the pokemon au, what would Aurora be? My first thoughts were Diancie or Magearna

havent fully decided juust yet but i think she'd be an aurorus !

i want to make her a fossil since shes like a million+ years old and i think out of all the fossil pokémon aurorus definitely fits her the best

^ heres a drawing i made of aurorus aurora i made a lil while ago

(i may or may not redraw it in the future to have it match her design better?? [trying to draw clothes on a quadrupedal pokémon is weird lol])

[deadinsideart]

They're old friends, your honor

[vespalover24]

Simon and Indiana and Layton and Tintin like antiques and are good at history and archeology and have various adventures and the three of them are great parents except for Tintin he is just a famous reporter who solves mysteries and is good at antiquities

[melcsmedleyofmalarkey]

This one is not meant to be a funny meme, apologies!

Found a german song and thought the lyrics at this particular part fit our dear sad Professor quite nicely, so I translated them and put them over the video.

--

I have been listening to "Baumann Bergmann Pokinsson", a german indie rock band, and as the members previously worked in the games industry, they have decided to create a "Playable Music Video" for this song.

If you know german, I can recommend the game a whole lot, it is called "Dünnes Eis" (Thin Ice) and is available on Steam!

POV: you run into Layton and Luke solving puzzles

media recap 2023…

[lovelandfrogman]

what does the original of this say? the suspense is killing me

ID: a picture of professor layton in what appears to be a flashback, laying face-down on a brick road. a santa hat has been photoshopped over his usual top hat. he's saying, "my injuries were so jolly i was christmas for a month. i was lucky to be alive." the words jolly and christmas were obviously photoshopped on. /end ID

TO BE HONEST i also have no clue and i’m incredibly curious AHAJSA i played some professor layton when i was younger but i don’t think i played all of them and also i barely remember them

professor layton fans help me out here

@mouseywousey continued from here!

Fortunately for Mousey, Hershel didn't mind their obvious height difference. It was a little jarring sure, but through a lifetime's worth of puzzles and mysteries, this was the least concerning. What really would attempt to stick out to the professor was their ability to speak. Normally his apprentice, Luke, would translate whatever an animal had to say. Mousey was a separate case, he assumed. Not that it bothered him. In fact, it made things not only convenient, but more interesting.

Hershel was about to question what it meant by not being around for long, but it went along its way with stories that were far more down-to-earth. More personal, more real. The professor wouldn't mind listening to both stories, or any others Mousey could recall, but one was good enough for now. Hershel raised a hand to his chin, rubbing it in deep consideration. This was like a fork in the road; would he choose the grapes or the serpent? He found himself drawn towards the latter, a sentiment he's sure most others would share. At least he was being given this opportunity at all from it, and Mousey seemed overjoyed to even spare the slightest of details. That enthusiasm made him smile warmly.

"Tell me more about this serpent, if you may." It made Hershel recount one of his first investigations. He'd spent some time around a serpent, one could call her. The young being's enthusiasm and love brought joy to two young children, same as his apprentice, assistant, and himself. Loosha… this wouldn't be a relatable story to him, but if Mousey would allow it, he could share the story of the Last Spectre.

Hershel hoped they would, but time would tell. "It sounds rather adventurous. Be sure to not spare any detail. I wish to picture the whole event myself through description. It's… immersive, that way. Does that make sense?"

I haven't drawn anything from Layton lately, but I've been watching too much Adventure Time

And hmmmm, maybe I'll do some sketches doing a Crossover or an Au.

because, look at them, their stories are just as tragic and my mind said "What if we mix them?" because I like to suffer

[another-clive-blog]

Say what you want, there is no greater power move than Clive going "And should you try to move him from that pod, this whole fortress will detonate" AND THEN having the nerve to start his next sentence with "Also-" as if this situation was still a bit too minor for his liking

[tarn-ati0n]

My @layton-secretsanta for @milfglue!

This one took longer than I thought it would, simply because I just kept sketching different scenes over and over again until I was happy with it. I hope you like it!

(Also there’s a different version under the cut where I was just playing around but I actually like how this one looks too)
