I'm gonna share some of my fav ace attorney fics with y'all please enjoy. It's mostly narumitsu but there's some klapollo there too

@girlanachrotism sent me all but one? Two? Of these btw. I just think I should say that

A brief for the defense by Ophelia_writes (18 chapters, ONGOING, one of the most well-written fics I've ever read. Takes place during the first trilogy with the last few chapters taking place during Bridge To The Turnabout. This fiction gave me whiplash genuinely I think it did something to me. Highly highly recommend even though it's still ongoing)

Pressure (pushing down on me) by ApprenticeofDoyle (7 chapters, COMPLETED. A few different cases, all original trilogy. This one's real good)

If I woke up (next to you) by ApprenticeofDoyle (1 chapter, COMPLETED. Same universe as Pressure ^. Takes place after the engarde case, love confessions between phoenix and miles. Implied sexual content but nothing explicit)

You ever been in love? By hechima (6 chapters, COMPLETED. Apollo justice trilogy. Slow burn, miles and phoenix are so in love)

Things are as they are by hechima (3 chapters, COMPLETED. Same universe as You ever been in love?. Miles sets Apollo and klavier up with a cabin for a few days. Love confessions)

darling i'd wait for you (even if you didn't ask me to) by sondersunrise (1 chapter, COMPLETED. Miles brings phoenix to a wedding as his plus one. Love confessions)

kick up the dust as we dance in the sun by whackamacka (11 chapters, COMPLETED. alright trust me on this one guys - 1930s dustbowl au narumitsu. Phoenix is an orphan farmboy who works ad a farmhand for the von karma estate. This one is so fucking good please try it I'm begging you)

come find me south of heaven by whackamacka (2 chapters, ONGOING. Sequel Fic to Kick Up The Dust. Phoenix as a defense attorney in Chicago)

i always want you when i'm finally fine by whiskeydmay (6 chapters, COMPLETED. This one's a hanahaki fic I am so weak for hanahaki. Five chapters from Phoenix pov and then one from miles pov.)

love most definitely requited by The_Eclectic_Bookworm (1 chapter, COMPLETED. Another hanahaki piece. Phoenix adopts trucy, and miles contracts Hanahaki. Franziska and Kay insist he confesses to Phoenix, so he does. Love confessions, fluff)

In The Dead Of Night by Harrowdeon (1 chapter, COMPLETED. Miles invites phoenix and trucy to Europe for a bit. Trucy wakes up from a nightmare and miles comforts her)

i'm getting so tired of coughing out my lungs by heiiskltchen (3 chapters, COMPLETED. Phoenix wright and his relationship with food after dahlia. This one is so heartbreaking tbh I fully agree with this concept)

A Brief for the Defense by Jack Gilbert

Jack Gilbert (February 18, 1925 – November 13, 2012) was an American poet. Gilbert was acquainted with Jack Spicer and Allen Ginsberg, both prominent figureheads of the Beat Movement, but is not considered a Beat Poet; he described himself as a "serious romantic." Over his five-decade-long career, he published five full collections of poetry.

---

Sorrow everywhere. Slaughter everywhere. If babies are not starving someplace, they are starving somewhere else. With flies in their nostrils. But we enjoy our lives because that's what God wants. Otherwise the mornings before summer dawn would not be made so fine. The Bengal tiger would not be fashioned so miraculously well. The poor women at the fountain are laughing together between the suffering they have known and the awfulness in their future, smiling and laughing while somebody in the village is very sick. There is laughter every day in the terrible streets of Calcutta, and the women laugh in the cages of Bombay. If we deny our happiness, resist our satisfaction, we lessen the importance of their deprivation. We must risk delight. We can do without pleasure, but not delight. Not enjoyment. We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world. To make injustice the only measure of our attention is to praise the Devil. If the locomotive of the Lord runs us down, we should give thanks that the end had magnitude. We must admit there will be music despite everything. We stand at the prow again of a small ship anchored late at night in the tiny port looking over to the sleeping island: the waterfront is three shuttered cafés and one naked light burning. To hear the faint sound of oars in the silence as a rowboat comes slowly out and then goes back is truly worth all the years of sorrow that are to come.

It's hard being a ghost. It's hard and no one understands.

(I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good by @dandylovesturtles really has no mercy for Leo, he can't even chill on his own bed after having his soul ripped out of his body, this is the worst thing that happened to him, ever 😔)

#fic: i may be invisible but i still look good #rottmnt #rise leo #i think about all the sad moments in this fic and i cry about them constantly- #then i go to my tablet and i decide to draw THIS #*leos voice*: thats how i cope! #this moment was very brief in text but for some reason it stuck with me?? #in my defense- i imagined leos limbs sticking out of his bed after he fell and it was so funny to me i had to built on this fhdsaj

No one

Absolutely no one

Me and my broken brain: What if I made a Nevermore Trimberly Au?

#maybe they do have a similar dymanic as Lenore and Annabel #they were lovers but the thing os #they don't remember and of course they butt heads #trini has so much potential #she already manifested but she also just does not care about coming back #what is the point if she is just gonna suffer again? she'd rather face an eternal void #meanwhile kim is desperate this is her chance to get it right #to not fuck up for once and be who she could should be #of course at first they only remember the worst things and they are just so sooooo bamboozled when they starg seeing glimpses of each other #trini remembers things first like going to school and being ignored by kim #and kim one day just gets a fucking flash of kissing trini ans she is like wtf???? so she tries to approach trini but get a cold shoulder #kim wass trying so hard to remember how she passed away but now she is intrigued #because trini is someone from her before and from those brief glimpses #someone who loved her but now she is just so defensive and a little distant #anyways trimberly unburied itself from my chest #trimberly #nevermore webtoon #ref

After I finished the ace attorney trilogy, a friend told me to read A Brief for the Defense. Here are some funny bits I enjoyed

Hound Dog: Maybe Izuku has trust issues because you two - his homeroom teacher and mentor - make it to where he feels he can't confide in anyone.

All Might: You're right. I need to do better by him. I'm ashamed of myself.

Aizawa:

*This is from the fourth light novel, where when confronted with Izuku's trust issues by Hound Dog... Aizawa chooses to ignore his part in it.

and yes im replaying my otc (one true character) again 1. because of the clown make up but 2. bc when i looked at astarion in a thumbnail of a yt video recommendation i thought 'i dont even know you anymore'

#hkddidkdk it is that serious!!!!! #none of my other characters have him in the party so seeing that image i was truly like '🎵 whooooo is that girl i seeee🎵' #and thank GODDD i did bc this way i discovered that all the other times getting gale was overriding some camp dialogue with astari0n #and shad0wheart AND bc having gale and getting that overriding scene triggers astari0n sneaking into the woods which THEN overrides #a brief scene of introspection from your main character #so yes by long resting somehow EVEN MORE frequently i was able to get even more dialogue with my faves that i missed #and to me extremely importantly a scene that adds more development to my beloved aka my character #but listen...... i dont know if i can do this...... idk if i can have wyll being a warlock 🤧🤧🤧 #i like to have pure class builds for everyone in my (one true) characters campaigns to keep it more authentic to me #but i just cant make myself play warlock a single time more it just sucks every bit of joy from my being ⚰️ #like i gotta do 4 warlock/8 paladin right? its lore accurate right 🥹🥹🥹🥹 #(okay i just read these tags and the sentence structure/grammar is actually unforgivable #but in my defense its 8am and i havent slept and writing tags on mobile is hard bc you cant see what youve written ⚰️ #maybe you can still get what i was trying to say even tho some of the parts of sentences dont connect 🥹) #(actually no its not understandable at all. the 'thank godddd i did' in the beginning is referring to me starting this replay. this is #the only correction i have the energy to make hjffkjdkdkd)

Something I always found hilarious in Dragon Ball Super is that Bulma has a sister and both Goku and Vegeta didn’t know about it.

Like Goku, sweetie, she is your CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND, you have known her since you were 12! And Vegeta, she is your WIFE! You have been married for 10 years and had a child together, and yet you didn’t know either??

#in Vegeta’s defense he never told bulma he has a brother too #so they’re even #I also headcanon that Bulma has mentioned she has a sister to goku many times but just doesn’t listen or forgets #random thoughts #dragon ball #dragon ball z #dbz #dragon ball super #dbs #bulma #bulma briefs #dbz bulma #tights #tights briefs #dbs tights #vegeta #dbz vegeta #prince vegeta #goku #son goku #dbz goku #Vegebul
