Mild Curious Village Spoilers Under The Cut

And another thing

I'm so glad we all agree

@samthecookielord @justkillingthyme tagging for reach

reblog for larger sample size

I think Ford and I would get along like a house on fire, but I just like Stanley's good heart more than Stanford's intelligence

Ford is bright and quick but Stan is soft and warm

Reblog for sample size and also tell me why in the tags. I want violence. I want discourse. I want bloodshed

Question

Are there any medical doctors that we know of in Professor Layton? I know Andrew Schrader, but I don't think that doctorate is in medicine.

every time I think of twelve year old Sophie deciding to vanish from her family's minds instead of letting them grieve her I get sick to my stomach honey no one deserves you

This growing sideways chapter will be built on hopes, caffeine, and my fuckass characterization memory without checking canon

@justkillingthyme LINK?!??!?

I need to draw him getting socked in the face.

I imagine child abuse is treated like grief is in the Lost Cities. We as humans are aware that some parents abuse their children, and that, although our systems are flawed, we need to help kids get out of the bad situation. We humans are also accustomed to grief as a part of life, and have researched and come up with ways to help others and ourselves cope.

The Lost Cities...don't have much experience in those aspects.

There's a bunch of reasons elves might not pick up on signs of abuse, similar to how humans might not. But the number one difference is that elven denial runs SO DEEP throughout their society. They deny the existence of rebellion, discrimination, social shaming, and more on the basis of "our world is so perfect and not at all like those humans!"

With that, Keefe is practically stuck. Running away to another elf will get him sent back home, whether by the elf he ran to (think perhaps Alden "no reason to worry" Vacker) or by Council interference (like if he ran to Sophie; she'd fight tooth and nail for him, but the Council is has more power than her, both in manpower (goblins) and political power). And goodness knows the Council won't do anything about it. They didn't do shit for the Song twins OR Keefe. So Keefe is between a rock and a hard place.

Elves aren't better than humans. Elves are deeply, truly, alarmingly HUMAN. They just refuse to acknowledge it.

okay but can't keefe just move out now. now that it's all done and gone and his dad no longer has any leverage on him. and "keefe was the kind of guy who was always willing to take the hit if he thought it would help a friend" . . . sure. let's put it that way. mhm

perish

Am reading a fic where the author doesn't want remnant to be supernatural, so they changed the canon a bit (https://archiveofourown.org/works/45313468?view_full_work=true for anyone interested). That's all well and good, except now I have the concept of William Afton going "ah yes, the secret to immortality" and it's just. blood plasma or something.

"I am unstoppable" and he doesn't figure it out because he never bothered to investigate anything not related to engineering. He dies too soon to figure it out as his body continues to age.

Henry and Michael don't figure it out, since neither of them are too keen on killing a child to look at it. Michael is still alive after the scoop for unknown reasons. The Missing Children possess the suits via regular possession. Of course, the Missing Children don't know either, since they are, you know, little kids.

It's kinda tragic too. All this destruction and death for something you could find at the blood bank.
