semi-formal intro to my(?) new au: the Reinhold Mystery Journey AU!!
based directly from @dearesthershel's (not so glowing) video essay on LMJ, i wanted to really take the idea and try and run with it!! details under cut~
RMJ officially takes place 16 years after the events of Unwound/Lost Future, Flora Layton Reinhold is a relatively well-known detective making rounds as following in her guardian's footsteps as a brilliant mystery solver. A now 32 year old Flora (formally known as Detective Layton by her peers, Flory by her 14 year-old sister Katrielle), having opened her office a year after UF/LF, is being given her assignments by the Chief Constable and soon-to-be Commissioner of the Yard, Barton.
Joining her is her assistant and now world-renowned journalist, Emmy Altava! Now 43, she's mellowed out quite a bit since the Azran Legacy (though she still hits and hits HARD). Summoned to Flora's side by an unknown individual, she vows to help the good detective however she can, either intellectually... or percussively.
Together, they're thrown into a myriad of cases dredging up places and faces both old and new, as each mystery resolved leads them ever closer to the cold case of the mysterious disappearances of the Professor and his blue-clad assistant years ago...
.......at least that's the idea i have in mind anyway. i'm not the most skilled writer lmao

You know what, it’s 2026, it’s time we have this conversation Professor Layton fandom:
Layton’s Mystery Journey is way too over hated.
Whoa, whoa, put down your pitchforks, let me explain. I won’t lie, LMJ has its fair share of major flaws; its storytelling and puzzle design suffer quite a bit. However, we can’t deny that things like the LMJ anime are actually very solid pieces of Professor Layton media that deserve far more attention than they receive. Even though I often find myself disinterested in LMJ and what it adds to the Professor Layton series, I can still find aspects of it to enjoy.
I believe a huge reason the fandom has doomed LMJ to an eternal pit is simply because we’ve been told to. Much of the hate comes from people who haven’t really experienced LMJ for what it has to offer and only have heard about how “bad” it is. I’m not saying you have to play LMJ, but at least consider watching some of the anime. I think it’s time we start realizing that even though LMJ has its fundamental flaws, it’s still a very decent game, and so is the media that surrounds it.

One of the reasons I like Katrielle Layton is that she's the kind of character who, when planning for the possibility of confronting the person who captured her father for 11 years, is trying on dresses because "What if it turns out he's an attractive edgelord? I am NOT showing up and wishing I was dressed better." And then when she does meet him she just yells at him until he combusts.
