Character bingo Clive and Felix for comparison reasons

Ooooooh, you’re spoiling me. 💜

Clive Dove — Professor Layton 🎩

How do I even begin to explain without spoiling you more than I already did.

Well, by now you must have figured out that there’s something very very fucked up about this young man.

But he’s not just fucked up. He’s the only antagonist from the main series to be explicitly stated to be just as smart as the protagonist (Battle of Wits my beloved 🧡) and, arguably, to achieve their end goal.

AND IT’S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO HIM.

But he’s so willing to accept the consequences of his actions — which is more than any other Layton antagonist can say for themselves. Like yeah, I guess three of them Did That Spoilery Thing at the end of Azran Legacy, but they ended up being fine, and then what. Bronev went to prison, but not before trying one last manipulation tactic. Emmy, who I adore, escaped the legal system entirely to go on a… Self-discovery road trip, apparently? And Descole flew off to do Descole-like things.

When I first played Unwound Future, I was 13. It was the first time I was introduced to the absolutely crazy concept of a villain taking accountability and accepting their punishment, instead of being killed/captured/"magically turned good" through the Power of Friendship™.

But unfortunately, the game needs to wrap up there, so we don’t get to see his full redemption arc.

He absolutely deserves to be smacked in the face with a crowbar, but you won’t see me do that. I want him to be a smitten husband and a happy stay-at-home dad with a dog. Sue me.

Felix Graham de Vanily — Miraculous 🦚

They’re the same picture, your honour:

Blue bird boys rocking the vest + tie cimbo

Rich but traumatised British orphans

Extremely smart

Strong ressemblance to one of the protagonists, which they use to commit shenanigans (including but not limited to: manipulating dumber antagonists and terrorising European capitals)

I feel like they gave me everything I wanted for Clive in the form of this little feather full of love and rage, to the point I sometimes refer to Emotion as "the Clive episode".

Except, of course, Felix is a child who went through horrifying abuse. That makes it a lot easier to forgive a lot of things.

The point is: I love them both so much, Feligami is what Clemmy could and should have been, redemption is cool, life is beautiful, and HEY would you look at that it’s a double bingo! 💙💜
