#also an Ace Attorney character

[lgbtlunaverse]

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

#this is about tenko bnha #but it is also about dahlia ace attorney #watch the nezumiVA videos on ace attorney trilogy they're great #anyway dahlia saying she (at like. 6 years old) apparently convinced her father to abandon her sister. hmmm #also everyone including herself thinking of her as the manipulator in control with terry when she was 14 dating a 20 y/o #anyway these characters both did do terrible things but feel the need to pile on more and remove nuance from where it exists #to convince themselves that this is what they really want. that they chose this. #it's about the loss of control it's about being a victim feeling worse than being a villain #at least if you were the bad guy you had autonomy #shimura tenko #shigaraki tomura #dahlia hawthorne

playing ace attorney I honestly can't tell what's funnier: miles being the only man in the room seemingly unswayed by april may, who canonically steals the heart of every other man she meets, or this very same woman less than an hour later calling phoenix "bottom-feeding scum" and him echoing only "bottom...?" while asking himself if she has something against him personally. world's most efficient gaydar

#I know phoenix gets nervous around april and had a gf yadda yadda yadda he's just bisexual to me #also I don't like how they wrote her she's got issues as a character imo but like. again. moments like these are pretty fucking funny #julian.txt #ace attorney

i got distracted and started drawing scene phoenix instead of posting this

#ace attorney #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #narumitsu #wrightworth #(Implied) #could be suggestive? #it was based off the 'I can take (character/amount of men)' 'in a fight?' '*smile*' thing but idk he means in a fight #phoenix could 100% beat the shit out of miles but would feel too bad to do it #he's not stronger than miles (the anime turnabout samurai spear scene) but he IS strong (breaks doors in one shot) #and he's also insanely tough??? immortal????? #I think he's a god #haha because he's a FUCKING PHOENIX #BJSGJBHSGBHJJSGBH

Out of every ship i have been invested in, which isn't a whole lot but still, I think that narumitsu is the most justified in being the most painfully slow burn to ever have burned. Like, it's obvious to literally everyone around them that there is something between them but it still takes twenty years to do anything about it. Not because they're stupid but they're both just specific types of fucked up that make getting into a relationship kind of impossible.

They're both seemingly very reluctant to get into any sort of romantic relationships in the first place, one due to general disinterest and a truly incredible amount of emotional constipation, and the other due to his last (and only known) relationship being so fucked up that he kind of gave up on the concept entirely. Them being excruciatingly in denial about being in love for decades is just so in character because they're just Like That.

Their history is also complicated enough to warrant waiting around for each other forever, there's so much baggage and trauma and hurt between them that it's just crazy. They've saved each other and they've hurt each other and they push each other away, they owe each other their lives and their jobs and their hopes. They would do anything for each other but are still pretty justified in being afraid to take the last step into making their relationship not just platonic.

idk it feels like a lot of other ships fall into the infuriatingly slow romance because the characters are too stupid to take a hint and it's just kind of painful after a while but these are the most hilariously repressed characters I have ever seen and while they might be stupid about their own feelings, it's usually stemming from trauma which is far more interesting for me personally lol.

#my pet peeve in fics is when they admit to being stupid after pining for so long like NO YOURE TRAUMATIZED #THEY'RE JUST MENTALLY ILL #also they are some of the most non explicitly aroace characters I feel like I've come across #also its so funny to think about how gradual their attraction towards each other could have been #they start out pretty strong but are constantly toeing the line between platonic and romantic while thinking its all platonic #everyone thinks theyre married but they haven't even kissed yet #narumitsu #wrightworth #pheonix wright #miles edgeworth #ace attorney #sorry for rambling again

like strangers all over again

#ace attorney #thinking. about how in the original cases of aa1 (meaning everything except ep5) #edgeworth doesnt have any smiling sprites outside of his courtroom ones #which makes for some funny moments but also says a lot about his character at the time i think #but then when he shows up in aa2 farewell one of the first things he does is. smile #it just rlly stuck out to me #and how much he mustve really changed in his time away #and now phoenix has to catch up to him again #posting this at fuck o clock in the morning i dont care

[rivalsforlife]

I found it funny (derogatory) that the 456 announcement trailer, when showing off all of the major characters in each of the games, showed Edgeworth in DD. that guy barely even does anything there. but it's obvious they put him in because Edgeworth's one of their most popular characters and showing him off in the trailer is more likely to interest trilogy fans.

now, if only there was some way they could promote Edgeworth in a larger role. say, if he was the protagonist of some other ace attorney games. which they could port to all modern platforms. I bet that would interest a lot of people. if only it was possible.

#ace attorney #also noticed going through it again that trucy doesn't get a highlight for 5 or 6 #which makes sense since they all but wrote her out #but even athena doesn't get a soj highlight #seeing them zoom in on apollo when he's so obviously not the focal character of the 5&6 posters gets funnier to me every time #like that one pointing at the tiny window spongebob meme

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

sometimes i think about an AA universe where Edgeworth didn't have to be shuffled off every 5 seconds so he could maintain credibility as a rival....where Phoenix didn't have to win every case...yes AA is a game yes i understand why it did that for the narrative. but when I look at those lonely scared 24 year olds from AA1 i can't help but think that their version of a happy ending would be to be able to get used to each other. to face each other over stupid cases and small things. Sometimes one winning, sometimes the other, until it hardly matters anymore, all that matters is finding the truth together. I want them to take each other for granted!!! i want them to look at the other across the courtroom and say "time to face this bitch for the hundredth time i guess!!" these poor bastards have never had anything approaching emotional stability before let them have each other damn it

#idk im just. emotional #i feel like at that age?? at that place in their character development??? romance aside that would be legit be #the best happiest situation for both of them. and i feel things when i imagine it #we see so much of the grand gestures intense moments side of their relationship #they're always helping each other in their darkest moments and stuff like that but i wish they could also have #a very mundane professional dynamic. bitchy and prickly and earnest cause they both care a lot. and loving in their way #it's sad to me that so much of fic revolves around the idea that 'when phoenix and miles start dating miles will finally stay' thats #so tragic!!!!!!! am i the only person who thinks that's tragic #the game had to keep them apart for Narrative Reasons but i know my boy miles edgeworth and he would want to get bored of that spiky hairdo #and that handsome face. from seeing it in court so much. #narumitsu #wrightworth #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #ace attorney #aa1 #aa2 spoilers #aa3 spoilers

One of the DGS details I really like is how they use forms of address to imply different languages (honorifics for Japanese, miss / mister for English) and the tiny little character moments that come from it. It was neat to realize in case 2 how Ryu and Susato would speak in Japanese while alone investigating, then switch to English whenever Herlock or a crew member entered the room, or how Susato and Ryu use English to discuss clues in British courts despite no English-only speakers being part of the conversation, or how the prison conversation with Natsume is a mix of both languages or how Ryu’s internal monologue is consistently Japanese. Little details via dialogue my beloved

#ace attorney #DGS #TGAA #ryunosuke naruhodo #susato mikotoba #susato’s specific use of honorifics is also rlly helpful in character relationships

I've been playing Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy (just started the 3rd case in Dual Destinies) so I drew some doodles

#fanart #ace attorney #apollo justice #klavier gavin #athena cykes #klapollo #tall athena!!!!!!!!! let her be tall!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #I used to never draw fanart bc I felt like I could spend that time drawing my own characters #but surprisingly I had a lot of fun doing ace attorney doodles #still don't know how to draw each of them but I'm trying stuff out #maybe if I have time in the future I will draw more of them and actually try do to it right #also I love apollo athena and trucy as a sibling trio

[ind1c0lite]

(Basic context is that AU of Duel Desinties where the phantom impersonates Phoenix to get him found guilty of Clay's murder, I talk more under the cut abt it jkhlj)

-Basically meant to be a parallel to turnabout trump, cause if you can have ONE boss get found guilty of murder, why not a second one?

-OK basically: everything in DD happens normally until like- a day before clays murder, Phoenix gets yoinked by the phantom somehow (he is still alive, just being held captive), Phantom is still Fulbright, but they've decided to be silly goofy (target Phoenix and get him found guilty of murder, escape police custody and then murder phoenix and make it seem like Phoenix accidentally died while on the run, thats why they didn't kill phoenix right away unlike the real Fulbright) there is an imposter amo-

-I dont have the logistics as to how this affects solving Metis's murder, and how it effects what evidence is used n whatnot and turnabout for tomorrow as a whole, so im just going nuts HGJKHLJ

-Originally I was actually imagining this taking place during turnabout for tomorrow and I wanted that case to be apollo v klavier instead of phoenix and edgeworth and thats why klav is in here instead of Simon (I decided that Simon got badly injured and couldn't stand in court for the retrial, so klavier was asked to step in)

-The courtroom bombing still happens the same way it does normally, but Apollo decides to take up the case again instead of taking a leave, instead of like, you know, healing from the traumatic event that just happened, turnabout countdown still happens as well

-Apollo and Athena do not find out about the phantom's existence until well after this trial, so they have no idea that Phoenix could've possibly been replaced, though simon, after hearing about the trial, might be suspicious about whether or not that was the real Phoenix

-The Phantom had been not only keeping an eye on Simon for a while, but was also stalking Phoenix and Edgeworth after they both started looking into UR-1, so they were able to impersonate phoenix so well that not even his own daughter thought that anything was up (though while Trucy did find him a *little* bit off, but she figured that it might've been the bombing that caused him to act ever so slightly weird, so she didn't pay much mind to it until she heard about his confession in court and realized it might've been because he possibly, ya know, killed someone)

-it's pretty much just switching Athena being framed for murder with Phoenix, and instead of the trial ending on a cliffhanger, it continues on (probably with Klavier insisting on it) ending with soloman being found innocent and Phoenix being declared guilty

-There's a couple days inbetween the end of the cosmic turnabout and the start of turnabout for tomorrow, so Athena, Apollo and Trucy all get a little bit to process the fact that "oh god my boss/my dad killed someone" (simons execution date is pushed back a bit in this au) and they probably get to talk with Klavier and eventually a lil bit with Simon after he gets out

-Im not sure how it all winds down in turnabout for tomorrow (Phoenix escaping and being at large is basically the perfect cover for the phantom to resume being fulbright for that trial) but they do eventually realize that the phoenix who confessed wasn't the real one and now there's a search on going to find out where the real one is being held captive, hes fineeee just ready to take a week long nap and a good vacation (along with every other waa member)

-I dont have anything else to add on rn but if you want to add something or just throw in a scenario feel free to!! this idea has been bouncing around my head for like a month now and Im very happy to finally show yall it

#ace attorney #ace attorney dual destinies #apollo justice #athena cykes #klavier gavin #phoenix wright #copycat au #indys art #apollo faints like- 0.5 seconds after the verdict is called which is very understandable #Apollo and Athenas horrible no good very bad court trial #and klavier isn't fairing any better tbh HJGKHL #no one is doing well at all and it gets worse before it gets better hjgkhl #Im both very excited but also TERRIFED posting this #I rarely try to actually write actual serious dialogue for characters cause im not a writer-so im hoping it's like- halfway decent HGJKH #I may be anxious as hell but Im going to be very brave and post this instead of- not doing that HJGKHL #I also tried to push myself a bit with this one so I included more panels to work on and coloured it #I like how it came out though!! #I hope u enjoy <3 #also if something doesn't make sense blame it on the fact that I wrote the caption and these tags at like 2:30 am

The real loss of Capcom putting Kristoph in the basement is that we can no longer get any more scenes or context about the weird gay shit he and Phoenix had going on. I think they painted eachothers nails and shotgunned cigarettes together during the late hours and explored eachothers bodies once or twice, you know what I mean. I just feel like we could have had a scene where Phoenix talks about him in passing and says some shit like how when they drank together they only used one glass between the two of them; both because they were close and because it guaranteed to Phoenix that he wouldn't be poisoned by Kristoph if they were using the same glass, and then apollo looks at him like he just said he kissed his old boss with tongue. I just think it would be funny, you know

#ace attorney #apollo justice ace attorney #aa4 #aaj #kristoph gavin #phoenix wright #apollo justice #krisnix #i have a LOT of thoughts about how so many apollo justice threads were lost and especially how Kristoph just never gets mentioned again #i mean it's tragic from a writing point of view because we lost some good narrative dread and character conclusions #but also because it just would've been funny as shit #you're telling me these guys spent 7 years together and never once played gay chicken??? what? because they hated eachother? #absolutely not phoenix would do it for the bit and kristoph would do it for the even smarmier and more condescending bit #and apollo and klavier get to have the worst time of their lives together listening to this of course
