Knock knock, fanfictioners! Bona is back in business!

For those of you who've read my Hetalia stories, sorry, but I will not be continuing them. I might eventually upload the rest of Carnevale Magic, but it is not high up on my list. At all. ...sorry...

On a happier note, I am now writing for other fandoms! surprise surprise! As of right now, my big one is Professor Layton, Level-5's puzzle-solving games starring the eponymous Professor Hershel Layton and his super-adorable apprentice Luke Triton!! Oh, pardon me, apprentice NUMBER ONE. Other fandoms will include Harry Potter, Pokemon, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fairy Tail, The Legend of Zelda, LEGO Ninjago, The LEGO Movie, and Wreck-It Ralph, amongst others. Oh, and Sherlock. I forgot Sherlock * God, he's going to kill me.

If no one knows about Professor Layton, I advise reading up on it. Most of my stories are likely to be from this fandom. The movie, 'Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva', is, in my opinion, a great way to get into the fandom. For those of you who don't want to do that... Here's the gist of it:

Professor Layton is an archeology professor at the fictitious Gressenheller University in London. The thing is... he doesn't really spend a whole lot of time there. Most of his time is spent solving puzzles people around the world send him. He also helps Scotland Yard out a bunch (remind you of anyone? A certain high-functioning sociopath, perhaps?). Most anyone can recognize him by his extremely tall top hat, which he hardly ever takes off (as in, once in the entire series, discounting when he was a kid). Of course, he truly is an archaeologist, so he does get a little, *ahem* excited when he finds something of archaeological importance. He's known for being the perfect gentleman, always polite and kind to anyone he meets. Of course, that often gets him in trouble. He just can't resist helping every damn person he meets... *sigh* It makes him adorable nonetheless.

Luke Triton is the professor's apprentice number one; at least, that's what the kid says... He's the son of the professor's best friend from university, and Layton treats him like his own son. Like his mentor, he loves puzzles LIKE FREAKIN' CRAZY. However, unlike his mentor, the very picture of the British gentleman, Luke is a bit rash and occasionally rude to people he doesn't approve of (fans know who I'm referring to. *cough* Descole *cough*) The plus side is, the kid can talk to animals! ANY animal... *sigh* Luke certainly loves his animals. He strives to be just like his mentor, and, by the chronological end of the series (WAH!! D':), Luke is certainly a match for him when it comes to puzzle-solving skills. However, he still hasn't learned to control his emotions... poor kid...

THERE BE SPOILERS AHEAD, YE FOOLS!!!* Srsly, though, if you don't want a whole bunch of things spoiled for you, don't read.

So, here are several things that will come up in my stories:

1. Layton's top hat was gifted to him by his girlfriend, Claire, on the day she died in a lab explosion. As a result, it is said that he hasn't taken it off since. While I admire his devotion to his first AND ONLY love... DUDE, SRSLY, YOU CAN'T KEEP A HAT ON FOR 7 TO 10 YRS STRAIGHT. PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. I don't even WANT to know how long his hair would be if that were indeed the case.
2. Layton's rival, Descole, is actually his older brother, Desmond Sycamore. It is revealed in Azran Legacy that his birth name was Theodore Bronev, while Sycamore was born Hershel Bronev, and their parents were kidnapped by a cult organization by the name of Targent. His older brother gave him his name, Hershel, in order for him to be adopted. It is implied that, in thirty years, his clearly loving older brother never once reached out to him until the beginning of Azran Legacy. While it makes for a good plot twist... DUDE, SRSLY, YOU CAN'T BE SEPARATED FROM YOUR BROTHER FOR 30 YRS. EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL IMPOSSIBILITY. Therefore, my personal headcanon is that Desmond reintroduced himself to him four years later, and they became almost like brothers again, despite Layton not remembering him. AS A SIDE NOTE: Layton blocked out the memories of his early childhood, due to the traumatic nature of his parents' kidnapping and having to leave his only friend (his brother).
3. Layton always appears to be one of the tallest characters in the games due to the unusual height of his top hat. As he is never seen without it, it is difficult to gauge his real height. While he seems to be quite tall... DUDE, SRSLY, YOU CAN'T BE THE TALLEST ONE IN THE GAME. PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. Why, you might ask? He is canonically stated to be 5'9" with his hat on. If you look online, taller top hats are usually about 7 to 8 inches tall. This places his actual height at about 5'1" to 5'2". While this isn't exactly a spoiler, I include it here because it does change how you view him, and it becomes a very prominent fact in my stories.
4. Because Layton never takes his hat off, players only ever see the back of his hair, and that's very briefly during cutscenes. However, his hair appears to be straight from the back. While this seems to be the case... DUDE, SRSLY, LOOK AT HIM WHEN HE'S YOUNGER. PHYSICAL CONTRADICTION. In Miracle Mask and Azran Legacy, players get to see Layton as a young adult and a child, respectively. As a young adult, he has a hairstyle that looks similar to an afro in the artstyle. As a child, his hair is shown to be rounded, which is used for curly haired characters in the artstyle. While he is shown with scruffy hair when he removes his hat in Unwound Future, this is likely due to the fact that it's cut very short for professionalism. Again, not necessarily a spoiler, but it's an important fact in my stories.
5. Many characters in the Professor Layton games have simple black eyes with white sclera. Layton, as a singularity, has little dot eyes with no visible sclera (it is, however, possible that his sclera are visible in this screenshot from Azran Legacy; don't ask about the duck face, you don't want to know). Very few characters actually have visible irises. While it adds a very nice, simplistic look to the character design... DUDE, SRSLY, NO ONE HAS TRULY BLACK EYES. PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. The condition of having no irises, or aniridia, is extremely rare, and even then the eyes are not perfectly black; rather, they sometimes appear completely blue. Not a spoiler, but as a note for diehard fans, I will be giving most characters an eye color (i.e., Luke has blue eyes, Claire has green eyes, and Layton has golden brown eyes when his pupils aren't dilated (my reason for why his eyes look like cute little dots)).

SPOILERS END HERE, FOLKS. READ ON.*

On one more PL note, I do have a couple of OCs that are mostly for use in my personal stories, which take place after the original trilogy (to get an idea for how the chronology works, think Star Wars: the original trilogy, and then the prequel trilogy). However, one OC is, in my headcanon, introduced during the events of Eternal Diva. I'm done here. No more ranting about my favorite professah. Sorry, Indiana Jones, I think Layton's got you beat.

Wow... I'm officially obsessed now. *\(o)/* WHOO-HOO!! XD Srsly, I'm done now. Now, go out there, and be awesome!!! Bona is *twirls* out!!
