I think a nicer twist to this is that Forkle all but FORCED Elwin to stay quiet. Because Elwin said in Legacy(??) that Sophie deserved to know who her bio parents are. Even if their relationship did take a hit, it might help that Elwin WANTED to tell her.
That said, I'm about 90% sure it isn't Elwin tho.
If Elwin ends up being Sophieβs bio dad (I donβt think he is) it would probably cause like a major rift between them, if that makes sense. Sophie sees him as a father figure and heβs been her doctor for years of her life, in which most of her visits were fatal or just really bad.
I understand that if he was her dad, he wouldnβt be able to reveal himself but regardless it would be painful for Sophie. This is how it is between Sophie and Oralie, when she starts to resent Oralie (I think Iβve forgotten the specifics) once learning she was lied to for years by someone she trusts.
She would most likely have the same reaction if Elwin was her bio dad. And Elwin and Sophie were closer than Sophie and Oralie (makes sense he saw her in almost all of her near death experiences).
In my opinion this would also result in Sophie not going to Elwinβs office when she needs to, just to avoid meeting him. This would make her near death experiences WAY more serious and may end up with a disability or death if not treated (I think, Iβm not a doctor obviously)
Kinda wanna see it. Keefe has been so one tracked with Sophie and focused on the Neverseen that someone outside of it all (doesn't have to be romantic) would be a breath of fresh air. I want someone who would be his friend without all the drama of the elvin world.
you know what's gonna happen in unraveled, right?
some random human (or secret elf) love interest is gonna be introduced and they'll be with keefe by the end of the story for no reason and that's gonna suck
I don't have a specific puzzle that makes me want to tear out my hair, but the matchstick puzzles always get to me. They're clever, and I always enjoy the answer when I see it, but it is hard for me to visualize for some reason.
This plus @justkillingthyme 's tags, because I played games 2, 3, 5, and 6 before playing 1 and 4, and lemme tell you, I could NOT figure out the beef (but I still had a GREAT time).
Perks of having played Miracle Mask as your first ever Layton Game:
You get introduced to Layton knowing how to fence as a natural part of his character, and not as something that might seem out of nowhere in a very epic scene
You're nostalgic for the very epic Carnival World
Very epic minigame flashback section in your first Layton Game
Very epic section where you can figure out what happened at the scene of the crime and feel really smart in your first Layton Game
Sth, sth, advantages the 3DS has gameplay wise I guess, since I like the way you play on the 3DS a little better
Disadvantages of having played Miracle Mask as your first ever Layton Game:
What is a Descole and why do they know each other???
Henry and Angela are very proficient, but Dalston's an absolute ARTIST with it. Everyone is very impressed and a little scared.
Hnnnnnnnnnnnn my heart πππ
You write so lovely β€οΈ
yes there's a lot of things to criticize about Star Wars but one thing i will always love it for is being so unabashedly tragic
i'm sure it's been said before, but one of the main things i think powers the SW fandom (fics in particular) is the (in)evitability of it all
time travel fix-its are one of the most popular sub-categories of fics that i've seen (for the prequels at least) but i see it much more rarely in other fandoms. i know each fandom has their own niches that they dig into but star wars fic writers took one look at this decades long story of people who were doomed from the start and said 'not in my house bitch'
and i'm never tired of it, because there's so many places where just one different action could have changed the story entirely, but didn't
was it over the moment Palpatine succeeded in feeding Anakin's fears and his distrust toward the Jedi? the moment the Sith gained control of the senate? what about when the war started, when the Jedi were made generals of men designed to be their executioners? what about when Dooku left the order? when Qui-Gon Jinn died, leaving barely-knighted Obi Wan Kenobi to raise a child he had no idea how to care for? when the Jedi massacred the Mandalorians at Galidraan, leaving Jango Fett primed (hah) for revenge? when Palpatine, and thus the Sith, first gained influence? when the Jedi were tied to the Republic, all the way back at the Ruusan Reformation?
there are so many little moments that turn into this huge web of cause and effect when you take a step back. and in canon, these characters are dooming themselves while we watch, but what reason do they have to do anything different? they don't know they're in a tragedy - its dramatic irony at its goddamn finest
but there's this thing about decisions: for it to be a choice, there has to be another option. and our heroes make their mistakes because that's what they do, while we aren't privy to that other option, leaving that little what-if. it's a favorite human pastime, to think about what might have been.
we start at episode 4, though, fourty or so years after what you could arguably call the start, and find ourselves watching the dominoes fall in place throughout 1, 2, and 3.
and we can hate the choices, hate the tragedy, hate what happened to our beloved characters, but we knew. we had the luxury of knowing.
it's a love story, it's political intrique, it's sci-fi at its finest, and they were dead from the start.
love love LOVE this series! Go check it out if you haven't! Featuring Padme, Vader, Baby Luke and Baby Leia trying as a family.

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.
