hello everybody, cliveposting here about to do some clive blogging on my clive blog.
I'm a 24 year old chronically ill they/them from england who's only joy in life is putting clive in a hydraulic press to escape the crushing weight of reality
while the main focus of this blog is clive, there will be posts and reblogs about all other layton things

I was asking myself this question for days. We know (deep down) that Clive is a good person. But let's take a closer look
He might be a good boyfriend /husband because...
1. He cares a lot about the people he love. I can imagine that he would do anything to protect the people he love. He don't want to lose someone else.
2. Spring and Cogg described him as a sweet, gentle boy too.
3. He's really smart and a journalist too
4. Goddammit, I was trying to find other arguments, but he's HOT
5. Knows how to dress
6. I think he's the perfect British Gentleman
He might not be a good boyfriend / husband because
1. He can lie straight into your face. And you wouldn't even notice. (I wasn't noticing that when I first played Unwound Future when I was 8! 😭)
2. Well he basically destroyed London?? (I'm trying to forget that, in my alternative universe in my brain that didn't happen)
3. well he's OBVIOUSLY IN PRISON
4. Somehow that's not working how I imagined to find arguments why he is a good husband 😭
Is he still husband material or not? (I mean, in all the fanfictions he's out of prison and everybody loves him, come on!)
I hope you guys know that when I say I love Clive (which I should say more often, what the Hell. I love Clive 💙🕊️), I don’t mean it in a “He’s so silly and pathetic” way, nor do I mean it in a “I love torturing him” way. These are perfectly valid ways to feel about him and I’m sure both are very fun! But that is simply not me.
When I say I love Clive, I mean I love Clive. I am deeply, genuinely, irrevocably in love with this character! I think he’s smart. I think he’s handsome. I think he’s the best antagonist in the entire franchise, Hershel’s true intellectual equal, arguably the only adversary who eventually outsmarted him (because that fortress did detonate despite our hero’s best efforts). I stand by every fic who ever characterised him as a smug sexy bastard (starting with mine)! I stand by every fluffy fanart and found family fanfic ever written (starting with mine)! I stand by 13-year-old Nina, who basically learnt to write, draw and edit for him!
Why am I saying this? Because we need to bring back the concept of unapologetically liking things without feeling the need to add a “but” afterwards. “I like Edelgard but I don’t condone her actions —” fandom purity culture is getting to you. “I like The Great Gatsby, I hope you guys don’t think I’m a pretentious bitch —” why does that even matter. “I like Miraculous Ladybug, even if the writing is objectively terrible —” what the fuck are you even on about. “I like N, I know it’s cringe, I know that makes me basic —” KILL THE HIGH SCHOOL BULLY IN YOUR HEAD. LEARN TO HAVE UNRESTRAINED SUMMER FUN ALL YEAR LONG. As a wise man once said, #YOLO
I got mad at the twink once because he came over, ate a stupidly large plate of mac n cheese, and then just lay on my couch groaning in pain repeating "I shouldn't have come here.....this was a mistake.....I want to leave...." for like a full hour
I should mention, it took him three hours to drive here just to do this
I should mention, it
took him three hours to drive
here just to do this
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Having a hyperfixation while being in a depressed episode is so fucking crazy. All Food tastes bad and I can’t bring myself to shower and reading for an assignment sounds like waterboarding but show me a good fic of Boo Boo Johnnykins and suddenly the world is sunny and for Boo Boo Johnnykins I won’t kill myself for another day
i glance at my tumblr mutual reblogging from me again.. blushes and looks away..... my trasured mutual, you mysterious and charming being.....what are we? i hope... maybe someday, we could be something more... something like..discord friends
