#mary gold

I was in a weak mood and made some more family doods. I like to think Mary wears her gloves less because she has Clive around all the time now showering her with love.

Finally reunited after years of Clive in jail, happily married and even with a family of their own now.

Since Clive is at home a lot, he takes care of the chikdren mostly. It’s hard to find a job with a criminal record like he has. Meaning Mary has to work full time, he’s really guilty about that. Maybe he finds work as a freelance journalist?

The end of unwound future definitely left its marks. Because Clive’s face was all over the news, bet people recognize him on the street. And it doesn’t end… well. So he changed his appearance up a lot. And to not have to face his mistakes in the mirror in the morning.

Plus taking on Mary’s lastname lifted a HUGE weight of his shoulders. Everyone knows Clive DOVE but Clive GOLD? Nah entirely different man. Still I can’t imagine them staying in London. There is so much hurt associated with it. He did awful things and deserves the punishment but beating himself up over it every day isn’t a way to live. They would move far away. Yet despite everything they couldn’t be happier to be reunited again. They don’t need more than each other to be happy.

Future flora ref||home outfits||(warning very old and cringe)

Everybody wants mom.

Aka they messed up something and are trying to appease her before she finds out

Mary and Clive’s kiddies

I-I had a moment of weakness, I’m cringe I know sndn. Their parents would spoil them so much, they’d want them to have the best childhood they never had.

Clive gets very late out of prison and they didn’t think they could even get one child anymore as they’re old but then they get TWO. They’d be so incredibly happy.

They’re finee everyone, more than fine.

“… I never meant to hurt you.”

Happy 15th Anniversairy Layton franchise!

I was mad they didn’t dress up Clive so I gave him a partyhat for the occasion. And then added a friend cuz he shouldn’t drink alone.

I’ve always wanted to make a height comparison since it’s kinda an important fact. Mary is just a little smaller than Flora but small enough to cause problems if she’s found out. So Mary has to wear very high heels when she’s future Flora.

I had this thought for a long time… His jacket just- engulfs her entirely if it’s the official Layton scale

Some Mary facts

-She’s a great cook! Usually does all the cooking when living with Clive. (He sucks at it. Well he had servants for that aka Spring.)

-Singing and playing the piano are a hobby of hers. I imagine her parents wanted her to learn at least one instrument.

-She helps out in her adoptive parents clockshop and since then has learned how to repair as well as make her own clocks.

-Spring probably taught Mary knitting since it’s mentioned as her hobby in her bio. But Mary prefers to sneak of to Cogg and help him with clocks.

-She’s very nerdy when it comes to machinery. She’s very interested in the mechanical aspect of Dimitris time machine.

-She never cries. Ever. The last time she cried was when her parents died. And the only other instance she has ever cried again was… after unwound future. When Clive left.

Them but canon.

I call this dorky Clive because he looks so goofy. Is it the floofy hair or head scratch. Also may I add how huge he is compared to Mary?? He’s twice as wide as she is. The Layton girls really have very petite figures.

And return of the pocket watch. I like to think it’s a gift from Mary. Oh yeah Mary perhaps got a little upgrade herself, do you spot it? I gave her clock brooch on her frill thingy. She looks much more like Spring and Cogg’s adopted daughter that way and it’s cute dndn.

I liked the hug in the previous comic so much so I made a continuation.

They’re very clingy. Well what do you expect from two people that basically have lost everyone important in their life lol. And Mary just looks so huggable in that comfy sweater come on.

What do you mean you don’t kiss your best friend good night.

Pretty in anything darling

Lil writing wip thingy about Mary and Clive, much fluff.

“Well what do you think?”, her timid voice asked.

The soft smile returned to his face as he turned around to see her in the beautiful dress she had picked out. It was off a beautiful midnight blue elegantly shimmering in the light. Her fingers fidgeted with the new ellbow long gloves. The fabric of her dress. Brows pulled into a miniscule frown.

Ah… he knew her in and out. Knew exactly what to say.

“You look perfect in anything you wear Mary.”

A bright blush blossomed on her cheeks. Surprising her was a beautiful sight. These moments were rare. She blinked once before a big grin spread on her face which she quickly hid in her hands.

“That’s not true.”, she giggled. “You only want to leave faster.”

Her laughter was addicting. He found himself join in before he knew it. Taking her gloved hands in his, revealing her rosy cheeks. The touch made her lean forward and their foreheads touched.

“I am speaking the truth, you are always pretty.”, he chuckled. “I don’t need to see the other dresses.”

Still giggling and eyes closed, he had a perfect view of her. Could take in her beautiful smile… her long lashes twitching from laughter, her pretty lips pulled into a smile, feel her vibrate against him from all the laughing.

Her eyelids fluttered open and she looked directly into his eyes. “You flirt.”, she said jokingly.

He couldn’t look away. He found himself staring deep into her eyes. Those pretty dark pools of light. Her gaze met his and it was as if the world stopped for a second when her expression softened and she smiled back gently.

His knees went weak.

Oh how badly he wanted to kiss her at this moment.

Before he knew it his hand was on her cheek and she sighed into his touch, closing her eyes in a blissful moment.

“Pretty.”, he mumbled, the usual snarky reply stuck in his throat. She looked down shyly, her lips still curled into a timid smile.

“What’s up with you today?”, she asked softly.

I realized again how much I have fallen for you.

She looked up and her dark eyes continued to draw him in. He found himself at loss for words. Their noses touched. Eyes shimmering with unspoken words. Her lips parted slightly and he found himself mirroring her.

“…Not much.”, he replied softly. Closing his mouth.

There was too much on the line. He could never risk loosing her because of what he felt. It could wait. He was happy like this.

Her eyes dulled for a brief second. He could have also imagined it. His thumb caressed her cheek. She melted into his touch, nuzzling into his palm. Her lips accidentally grazing his skin. His lips accidentally touching her hairline as he pulled her close into a hug. He was happy like this…

She was warm. Warm and familiar in his arms. He burrowed his face into her hair. She was his place to always come back to. He couldn’t loose that.

Blink

Time for some sadness. Takes places after Clive gets knocked unconscious by this metal pipe thing. He’s sorry for staining her gloves with his blood.

I imagine that she didn’t know about the whole huge ass war machine death robot as Clive wanted to “surprise” her with it. She wasn’t thrilled about taking revenge on innocent london with a war machine at all and immediately sought out to stop him. While the Professor and Co are busy with Clive, she’s climbing the fortress to confront him directly.

And she succeeds. Right as the building is about to collapse. Their argument is cut short when Clive gets knocked unconscious by falling debris and she twists her ankle. With a hurt leg she can’t run anywhere and stays with Clive, not that she could leave him alone in the collapsing tower anyways. She doesn’t support his decision of revenge or justice as he calls it, but he’s still the person she holds dear to her heart and that will never change… She’ll stay until the end.

The way they look at each other is special

“I wasn’t aware how much you grew attached…”

—

It really hurt Flora when her future self turned out to not be her future self.

The two grew really close. The Luke’s half liked, half hated each other so neither cared as much, but the Flora’s? They really bonded. Flora was just so amazed by this elegant lady that is her future self and is respected by everyone. Never left alone. Future Luke is always by her side. Even younger Luke treats her future self differently and the Professor sees her as an equal now rather than a young child. She is finally one of them. Her personal most desperate wish came true…

Future Flora’s reveal as Mary Gold felt like a personal betrayal.

happy to be home
