“It’s a disgrace and a travesty sir!” —Clive, Despicable Me 3

Here is Clive the robot as a human! Bratt’s number one friend and sidekick! I hope the colors don’t clash too much! Since he’s a white robot I have him super pale skin and white hair! Along with some white accessories/clothing! Of course, he has his red eyes!

rattles around a couple coins in a tin can. scrapgun for the crowd? scrapgun if you please? 💥

His eternal existence is tied to the remains of his robot body. He tries to keep it safe, not knowing this.

Also, he keeps little parting gifts from his family in hidden compartments. There's a few where his heart would be.

She's here, she's queer, and don't you dare call her "dear", iiiiiit's CLIVE!

Okay in more seriousness, her character sheet has been needed to be updated for like 4-5 years and I've just been putting it off. I finally sat my butt down and got to work.

Technically I have a version without the coat, too, but didn't see it as worth a third image in this post (though you bet it will be up on her Toyhou.se later!). As always her robotic arm was fun to draw and colour. Her scar map (not all of them are visible with the under clothes on either, so I have ANOTHER version without genitals or nipples that DOES have a few more scars, for personal reference) was not as fun at first, but once I got my groove it worked out really well!

Ever since I posted the mobile fortress poll I got quite a few asks saying "hear me out on [some other mechanical doohickey]", so I've decided to put them all in one poll and let everyone go wild.

Someone has probably mentioned this before…

But do you ever think about how Layton invited Aurora to explore the world with the Bostonius crew, as they collected the Azran eggs and Aurora’s memories… but then, Descole stole the Azran key and Layton had no qualms about chasing after him (with Aurora, Luke and Emmy in tow), and then they got caught by Targent at the Azran sanctuary, Emmy betrayed the gang, and Bronev stabbed Aurora in the heart, unleashing the Azran legacy.

Turns out Aurora survived that because she was a golem! But then she still died in the end after Layton refused to take the knowledge and power in the Azran sanctuary. I’m not saying this was Layton’s fault- the Azran were awful for viewing Aurora and the golems as disposable- but wouldn’t Layton still blame himself for Aurora’s death? He still apologises to her (his quiet “I’m sorry” to Aurora always gets me) and then he has to leave her behind because the sanctuary is literally falling apart around them and he needs to get Luke to safety?

A couple of months later, Layton solves the mystery behind a village filled with robots, rather like the golems if they had been given the chance to live a peaceful lives. Turns out the Golden Apple treasure they’ve been searching for is, in fact, Flora Reinhold, an orphaned girl, who’s spent years waiting up in her tower. (Flashback to the mysterious girl trapped in the ice.) They find the room containing the Reinhold family fortune. Layton, very clearly, gives Flora the choice about what she will do with the treasure and her village. Flora decides to leave the treasure and the village as it is, with the villagers continuing their daily lives…

And then, Layton takes Flora back to London with him and Luke. Maybe he would have done the same for Aurora, if he’d been able to save her. Maybe he finds some solace, thanks to Flora…

Still, Layton keeps leaving Flora behind whenever he and Luke go on dangerous adventures. Sometimes he doesn’t even tell Flora when they’re leaving. These fears aren’t completely unfounded - Flora is new to the big wide world and she does get kidnapped. Twice. Layton can no longer depend on Emmy to protect them. There are people who, like Emmy, will betray them. Clive kidnaps Flora and imprisons her in a glass cage in the Mobile Fortress.

I hope Layton had a long talk with Flora after PL3. Maybe he apologises for his treatment of her and admits that he’s still traumatised by the losses he’s faced. (Aurora, mainly, but Claire, Randall and Desmond count too.) Rather than keeping Flora in a metaphorical glass box, he needs to open up to her. Maybe spend time with her outside of adventures, introduce her to some new friends or encourage her to join a self-defence class. Something…

Then, hopefully, when Layton gets a letter from Luke in America, he’ll invite Flora to come with him and investigate the mystery…?

Or maybe Flora will decline, because she’s already got her own plans with some new friends she’s made. Who knows.

Midnight Pals: The Sower

Octavia Butler: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the parable of the sower Butler: the parable of the tale of the sower Butler: the tale of the sower Butler: boy that's really not working

Butler: for this story, i think it's time to look to the future Poe: the future? Butler: yes the far distant future Butler: of 2024

Butler: so in the future of 2024 Butler: a christo-fascist government comes to power over a crumbling America bedeviled by climate change and wealth disparity King: Poe: Koontz: Barker: Butler: now you may be asking Butler: how did she know? Poe: how DID you know?

Butler: an America falling apart, states are their own military dictatorships, police are corrupt King: that's crazy that you're so good at predicting America's future King: it's like you live in America or something!

Poe: for real, how are you doing this? Barker: eh i'm not impressed Baker: i feel like predicting the rise of a christo-fascist government in a crumbling America bedeviled by climate change and wealth disparity is pretty much a gimmie

Butler: ok fine Butler: but what if this christo-fascist government comes to power using the slogan "make American great again" Barker: Barker: ok yeah that's impressive Poe: how ARE you doing this??

Butler: simple Butler: i simply looked at the America of the present day Butler: and asked myself what would the future look like King: that's good! i gotta make a note of that King: anyone got a pen? King: these writing tips are gold!

King: that is seriously incredible King: some scary accurate predictions! King: why is everyone always talking about Margaret atwood's predictions? these are way better! Barker: yeah these leave Margaret atwood in the dust! Barker: like, there's no comparison! Margaret Atwood [under cardboard box, through vocoder]: beep boop :(

Margaret Atwood: [under cardboard box, through vocoder] beep boop i am predict-o-tron, the robot that predicts the future Barker: oh we're not interested in that anymore Margaret Barker: your predictions are all so obvious Margaret Atwood: [under cardboard box, through vocoder] beep boop :(

Barker: but go ahead Barker: give us one now Barker: if it makes you feel better Atwood: [under cardboard box, through vocoder] beep boop reproductive health will be threatened by conservatives Barker: oh damn wow Barker: you must have fuckin crystal ball to come up with that one! Poe: clive Barker: oh come on edgar we all saw that one coming

Butler: anyway this christofash government in a collapsing dystopian America only lasts one term Butler: then they vote him out Barker: wait, they still have elections in this collapsing dystopian America? Butler: oh yeah Butler: yeah i mean why not?

King: this is a real downer King: can we hear some future predictions that DON'T come true? Diane Duane: i have some stories about the utopian post-scarcity star trek future King: no i meant like King: bad things that don't come true King: not good ones :/
