Ghost stumbles on the body countless days after he ran away. Protectively wrapped in vines and flowers, the man isn't dead — his chest is raising and lowering in a barely visible rhythm — but he doesn't seem to be quite alive either. Every time Ghost tries to untangle him, the vines seem to wrap more securely around his limbs so Ghost gives up.

He can't bring himself to abandon the sleeping man, though. He begins work on a shelter for himself and his horse.

Days blur into months and soon he has a small farm. It's nowhere near the size of his home, but the ground is more fertile than most and everything he plants produces in abundance. He's also accumulated quite a few animal companions - many of them wandering in from the surrounding fields or the forest, seemingly abandoned or having run away from their old lives too. He doesn't build fences to keep them in, but, like himself, many of them stay anyway.

Ghost begins to call the sleeping man dreamer, and without other human companionship, he talks to the dreamer most days.

One morning, after a heavy rainstorm, Ghost walks out his door and comes face to face with himself. A wave of fear spikes through him and settles heavy in his gut. He's been found.

Then all at once the panic drains out of him when he recognizes his dreamer. Seemingly awake, if a little glassy eyed, and staring right at him.

Playing the Original Trilogy Ace Attorney games back to back, it really struck me as early as 2-2 how much Franziska is very bad at the whole "Demon Prosecutor" schtick

What made Edgeworth so tough isn't just how he would run logic circles around you, but also because he shut down every line of inquiry that was not directly related to the case and substantiated with hard evidence. His one weakness was that he still followed the due proceedings of court and the Judge's rulings without a fuss. And, you know, that he still had morals

Manfred von Karma is on a whole other level. He's even more ruthless than Edgeworth, but he's also so intimidating that he essentially takes over as judge in the beginning, and his moral compass was surgically removed because it hurt his shoulder.

But Franziska, while she also controls the social dynamics of the court, lets so much shit fly that Edgeworth would not. If he was the prosecutor, he would have needed hard evidence that Pearl was in the Winding Path, and he definitely wouldn't have let him badger Ini about the sports car she drove all those years ago.

Hell, Edgeworth's most common dirty tactic in the first game is concluding a cross-examination before you can squeeze the info out of the witness. And just in 2-2, Franziska lets, and sometimes forces, the cross-examinations to continue, even when said cross-examination reveals she was concealing evidence.

Even Winston Payne, the jobber prosecutor par excellence, is more ruthless than her IIRC, as in he tried to conclude a trial early before Phoenix could finish his reasoning, whereas the Judge literally tried to declare Maya guilty and Franziska objected

You could interpret this behaviour in many ways. In fact, Phoenix even gives us his own: he thinks she's being arrogant, à la "hit me with your best shot". It would track, as she's been pretty arrogant up until now, but I think it's a little shallow.

My own interpretation goes a little deeper into Franziska's character: We know Franziska has been raised by Manfred "my card PIN is 0001 because I'm number 1" von Karma to believe perfection is the ultimate goal. She HATES lying witnesses, but is perfectly fine with "preparing" testimonies. She's the most volatile and youngest prosecutor to date. Lastly, she felt pressure to live up to the von Karma name all her life, but when her father died, she was more concerned with Edgeworth's presumed death than it

My conclusion: Franziska's truest desire pre-character development is to win fair and square, but because she associates her father with victory, she forces herself to emulate him and tries to play dirty. All of her Manfred-like tactics are done outside of court, where she would be able to think it over, letting her conditioning kick in. But in the thick of legal battle, especially facing Phoenix Wright, who thrives on hectic trials, she would let her heart decide what to do.

netflix one piece live action feels a little like fanfic in that it makes sure it hits all the important notes but doesnt do all the work to make them hit which works in fic where the reader is supposed to bring all the emotional story investment from the original but doesnt work in a multi million adaptation that is supposed to be able to stand on its own or even serve as an intro to the series. it even does this in service to have more koby and helmeppo gay moments in this essay i w

#one piece #opla #the fleshing out of koby and helmeppo is like honestly good its a beacon of light its truly really fun #and all the actors are great it is just what they are given . #they didnt let nami do any real betraying. they didnt even have her steal the merry!! she just stole the map that they added in!!!! #ddont get me started on the gutting of sanjis intro. i dont give a shit about if don krieg appears or not i need to see this guy fuckin #feed the hand thats about to kill him im going to start shaking like a dog. #im almost madder krieg appeared for just a little id rather have that time be used for. anything else really. #like have one of arlongs guys starved half to death when they get to arlong park!or idk anything! no gin appears look its gin! you know him #sanji doesnt even get to beat the shit out of a shitty guest. like i guess he does a little but it feels so blink and you miss it #+the first like two eps were good!! buggys great hes scary and weird and fun. i dont mind that he sticks around longer in theory #but the way he is comedic relief instead of basically every character having funny bits is like. ahghhhgggg. its a symptom of this really #mean and edgy feeling the whole thing has. like the removal of people missing usopps pirate calling :( and how cocoyashi didnt know #nami was working to help them. like p. please. can we have caring and bonds in this world?? trust and love??? #anyway. sorry for having expectations of a netflix show im so close to putting this into a more proper form rather than tags. just to get i #all out of my system cause fuck man. #anyway solid 7/10 not as bad as it couldve been

so i was following a game guide (i always follow a game guide to catch everything in one go, bc i hate backtracking) and it cautioned me that on first rest after charname turns into the slayer, charname will turn into the slayer again and start attacking the party, so it's best to put a barrier between them before resting, and i filed that info away in my head for later. fast forward to later and i completely forget about that and just rest, but it's okay! radri doesn't turn because i rested in an inn

#slayer avoided simply by finding a nice cozy bed with a nice comfy duvet #anyway that's not the real reason i was thinking about this i was thinking abt this bc it only just occurred to me that xan Must have #dialogue for this terrible moment and in conveniently reaching an inn i completely missed it #so i reloaded and let radri turn (she killed anomen btw. bummer) and do you know the first thing xan said after she regained control? #''i am still alive‚ if you are interested.'' like ''if you're EVEN interested.'' WHUH???? #i wouldn't even blink at a ''don't touch me'' or a ''stay back'' or a ''you almost killed me'' but THIS--?? #of course she's interested in knowing he's still alive! of course she cares! radri's crying at this point btw. if he's even interested.

The inherent romance of the Guidance cantrip.......

#dnd #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #i like to imagine that what tips off the rest of the camp that lark & astarion are like. a proper Thing now #(or at least moreso than whatever ambiguous Thing they've had going on before) #is that when astarion is picking the lock on the chest in balthazar's hidden room the following day & lark casts guidance on him #rather than casting it her usual way (a poke in the arm or like a goofy 'you got this!' shoulder clasp) #she does something like brush a finger along his jawline. & he SMILES at her #it's a quick little thing blink & you miss it but meanwhile shadowheart & gale who are hovering right behind them are like 👀👀❓❓❓ #meridian on the other hand is still in her era of a terse discreet tap on his arm or between the shoulder blades #almost like she doesn't want him to notice (even though of course he does) (i think meridian's guidance feels something like sunlight) #only now. since the night she read his scars. & the night before that. maybe she lingers the sliiiiiightest bit longer than she once did #like there's more of a comfort in touching him & that unsettles her somewhat #THE ROMANCE!!!!!!!!! #tav: lark #tav: meridian

Carlos licks his lips when he's excited, is feeling cocky, or feeling nervous/uncomfortable.

This isn't even a personal headcanon either, it's just a canon habit that he has and honestly same buddy.

#carlos musings #i have a carlos scene pack that i downloaded a long time ago which i'm currently looking at right now #and i just now noticed he has this little habit #tbf almost all the scenes where carlos does it are “blink and you'll miss it” type scenes

just realized my follower count has like... quadrupled in the past few months. meaning about 3/4 of y'all haven't experienced my vampire lore whore side that's been on hiatus :)

#o ho ho #out of the crypt it comes #it's dracula daily time again my friends #also i'm almost done with the next installment of my vampire comic #and ALSO i'm almost done with the script for one of my vampire video essays that was on hold for about a year #look 17th~19th century gothic literature is my jam #it's all about the metaphors #the social stigmas #the allegories #t; vampires #dracula is actually one of my least favorites #i have beef with bram stoker's portrayal of women #(his contemporaries were doing much better in that regard so no it wasn't just a different time it was just him) #and the whole second half of the book is a pacing mess #with an anticliamactic blink and you miss it ending #but the first half of the book? stunning incredible amazing showstopping #also renfield's whole part is so good #and quincy p morris #love our cowboy

[sapphire-weapon]

am i really about to fucking sit here on my day off and rewatch fucking infinite darkness

lord help me

#it occurred to me that i remember almost nothing of ID #i remember the ending really well because it pissed me off because leon's justification for what he was doing made no fucking sense #and i remember the blink and you'll miss it ashley cameo #and i remember that scene in that shitty apartment where leon hauls off and fucking murders a man #(well no he lived but for A GOOD CHUNK OF TIME the show leads you to believe he's dead) #because my heart rate kicked up and my breath caught in my throat #because that was the single hottest thing i've ever seen leon do in this entire fucking series #and it took me by surprise because like #ID came out during a time in which my focus was not on RE at all #and hadn't been for like #YEARS AND YEARS by that point #and now suddenly out of nowhere i'm sitting there fanning myself #and looking up at my monitor with my eyes wide and a scandalized little smile as my jaw hangs open #just all like #'mr. kennedy you behave yourself *i am a lady*' #but that's it that's all i remember about infinite darkness LMAO

i love rewatching mine cutscenes cause even if he tries to be about as emotional as a boulder there’s always at least one single frame of him where a thousand words couldn’t really encapsulate everything he’s feeling in that moment

#rgg #yakuza 3 #yoshitaka mine #snap chats #spam bots please dont touch this blog ty #utterly compelled to draw him again so heres my warning for mineposting later Potentially #BUT NO LISTEN HE'S SO FUNNY HE'S MY FAVORITE #i love that in characters when their feelings are so Blink And You Miss It- it makes it fun to spot #like i was rewatching the last cutscene of Y3 because it tickles my brain and also daigo makes me cry #but on that note like.. when daigo just asks mine if hes ok and doesnt really care too much about the situation at hand yk #like granted he probably just assumed the cia banged them up but he really doesnt even look for an explanation #he's just going off that assumption Presumably and so when he asks mine- totally none the wiser about what ACTUALLY happened- #and you just see the /slightest/ twitch in mine's eyes- like mine's expressive through his eyes i find #or maybe ive lost it but i feel like thats where you find his feelings best #my man's about to cry right there and then for almost killin the dude he loves and that kills me every single time #another instand i like with mine's Displays Of Emotion is that scene with him and kanda #where kanda just demands money and men from him and mine grimaces #like kanda can wreck all the shit in his apartment for all he cares but that line from kanda just plays into mine's mentality #of only really being perceived as useful if he can provide something material #it just makes it more evident that the matter's severe enough to him to shake the stoicism #i could vomit about mine all day i just think he's fun to look at under a microscope #i finished Y3 a long long while ago but it's still rotting my brain and at this point i should just replay it- but the blockin....

[pepsitwist]

#SOOO hype but i have that anxiety feel of like. yeah this CAN only happen once #i can only truly enjoy this for the first time once #what if i’m not as ready as i think i am. what if i blink. what if i take a bathroom break and miss it. #i want kenny back i want him back SO bad and im not worried that HES gonna mess it up im worried that IM gonna mess it up #anxiety over one of my faves coming back after almost a whole year? more likely than u think

[yenpondering]

anyway I came home from work and chopped off my hair, how’s everybody doing

#Yen gibberish #it was half an impulse but also me missing having short hair lol #also shoutout to my brother who finished work almost 2 hours after I came home #took like 2 steps out of his room when I asked him to even out the back of my hair #and only blinked at me before saying ok #I love how much shorter it is now and the swishy feeling lmao

[fooltofancy]

ever spend like two hours fucking about with a drawing and then by the end of that two hours you actually have fewer lines than you did when you started.

#like i drew that whole time but have accomplished nothing! #that's untrue what i have accomplished is determining which lines i Don't Like #it wasn't even something important i was doing. warmups. extended warmups. #and then i spent two hours on the phone and now i need to go to bed and i've done NOTHING #related i miss my carrie #i miss my CATS #sophie blinking up into the phone didn't make me cry but it did ALMOST make me cry #that's my lady!!!!

the reflection of the sun on the windows of the train is casting light in rivers + woods + streams + fields . anyway photons are made of angels .

#the sun glitter from the rim of my glasses and lipgloss and the gold snowflake necklace my mother gave me reflected in the window mixed #with the glints of sun on water . sunwine . everything turns into angels and wine (which is also love which is also blood) again . #the boy with the long hair had his head in a mess that time. took a drag of a cigarette offered by a lovely addict . J with tears in his #voice and too much to drink . i looked him in the lungs with my broken heart and i asked why are you doing this and he took a drag and #took another step . ice cold eye to vodka-blessed eye . sighed the smoke out in my face and smiled . #later it was 3 AM and it was us in a park lying on the floor and talking about everything and nothing and i was studying the writing on his #shirt and the way he blinked more when he laughed . i dragged him away by the elbow (pain inhibited by alcohol but either way his black #belt could stop me and my lousy one year of cranes and bloody knuckles) and i asked him i love you and what the fuck was that and you said #you wouldnt you said you wouldnt . and by the end of that conversation i loved him more than i did before and his hair was tidier and #twice as long . today i gave him a ticket and hugged him goodbye tight enough to almost break his neck. #you and her are the only two i showed my canines to. (i cannot evenly remember the steps are full of glass) ill miss you forever. #even if i see you again. especially if i will see you again. her hand on my back when i dont stand straight the life you have is the life i #lost to messy politics. saturn jupiter confer breaking of the wall in the morning . server of heavens silent wanderers break oh holy light #each time someone ruins our collective lungs ichor i miss the ichor inside malboro gold . pinprick tears when my mother #told me to wait until morning . wait until morning and we can figure this out. otherwise i am on the verge of cold blooded murder. #either i am a horrible person or almost 20 ( both equally sound explanations ) #mei with an e ، meaning wine. hate the wine but love the poetry and the angels and what hating the wine means at all.

Snap.

A balancing act.

Threads too thin

and weight too much.

A hummingbird heart

in a broken cage.

Scales left unbalanced

to rust underneath a crimson sun.

/

Snap.

Tears in pretty eyes.

Teeth too sharp

and touch too heavy.

A lonely boy

in a broken home.

Lips twisted into false smiles

above an empty pool.

/

Snap.

A bleeding heart.

Wanting too much

and getting too little.

A broken fighter

in a bloodstained bed.

Hands combing through hair

in a well-deserved embrace.
