wow i'm just looking at roy's thought process in the lead up to this call:
he's just gotten a ridiculous amount of flowers from the armstrong intelligence agent and he needs to do something with them, and his mind immediately goes "give them to riza".
like, bradley JUST called this man's ass out for wearing his heart on his sleeve and yet he just. keeps simping.
(you know what that is folks? king shit.)
(maybe he thought since he's not her boss right now he could get away with it. high key obsessed by that manga panel in the 'selim b is homunculus' convo where roy asks her out and riza shoots him down not having a CLUE that's what he's doing:
man's REALLY trying to shoot his shot pray for him y'all.)
and not only does roy decide to give her the flowers he decides to start off the call doing a goofy little bit.
like, my precious subordinate must be super stressed working under wrath! i know, i'll bring her some flowers and also use them as an excuse to check in on her and i'll ALSO honk my clown nose to get her to laugh or roll her eyes fondly at me! yes boyfriend of the year right here
i repeat, roy knows riza's going through a tough time and his game plan is to bring her flowers and try and make her laugh.
i'm frankly amazed these two weren't written up for fraternization before this. only the bad guys ever bring it up and no-one else ever calls them out on it in-universe but these two are NOT subtle.

Kinda random but what is the kevlar carapace au about?
DUDE. I'VE GOTTEN SO MANY ASKS ABOUT IT I'VE BEEN MEANING TO ANSWER. BUT I KINDA WANT TO DRAW SOMETHING FOR THEM SO I KEEP PUTTING IT OFF ✌️✌️
uhh cliffnotes version? post-canon au where donnie gets himself into some shit with the EPF and instead of handling it like a well-adjusted person and getting backup he decides the logical course of action is to go get stronger in the battle nexus and exchange information with big mama.
it's been a while and i never wrote down the details of it so it's a bit blurry... but i also thought it'd be interesting to explore how donnie's tech and fighting style could potentially develop along the line.
here i'll dump some silly 4-month old doodles of it

My preconceptions of Ace Attorney before actually playing the games
[Based on the whole franchise rather than any individual games since I don't know what happens in what game specifically]
I only remember like 3 character names but it seems like everyone has the weirdest sounding names imaginable
Before checking if The Great Ace Attorney was on the switch, I thought it was a sequel series to Ace Attorney and that Apollo Justice was the protagonist but it turns out it takes place in the late 19th century so never mind on that
There’s something heartbreaking that happens just before Christmas even though this is meme by the fandom every year. I think someone important to the main cast dies or something
Refining my new take on Apollo Justice (since I was wrong about what The Great Ace Attorney was) is that he’s actually in the first series and he’s Phoenix Wright’s nephew (either biological, adopted, or a found family situation)
The magician girl is Phoenix’s adopted daughter and she’s bffs with Apollo Justice
There’s a racist vampire. I think he’s in TGAA but either this series is an urban fantasy or there just happens to be one vampire who’s there for some unknown reason and everyone rolls with it
Phoenix went to art school but discovered that his childhood friend Miles Edgeworth (whom he hasn’t seen in years) had enrolled in law school so he also goes to law school so he can catch up with him
There’s this one guy who has a huge mental breakdown from law school and he goes through major depression but his friends try to help him through it (I’m sorry I can’t be more specific I really don’t know any of these characters names, I just recognize him from angsty fan art my friend has drawn before)
This Tumblr post does a great job summarizing how I imagine Phoenix and Miles to be like during the trials https://pauladrawsnstuff.tumblr.com/post/720025716031356928/audio-from-themornal
This is less of a preconception and more of a wish. But, like in danganronpa v3, I really hope that there’s an option to lie in court cause that’d be so funny. Let phoenix have a little perjury as a treat
There’s straight up a dude named Herlock Sholmes. I really wish he was the protagonist of one of the games but I know he's a side character more than anything
It turns out that there is a trilogy for Apollo Justice so I was super wrong about him showing up in the ace attorney trilogy (I guess I have no idea who Apollo is in this franchise)
Apollo is somehow going to be the most normal protagonist not because he's actually normal but because everyone else is so much more ridiculously eccentric and weird
Oh my God is there a sentient magical hat named Mr hat??? Out of everything I most want this to be true. I'm begging (but for real is ace attorney an urban fantasy?? I thought this was about a normal ass lawyer??)
Omg one of the characters does the ghost trick death pose and I can't wait to learn these characters names cause I super don't know
There's some sort of martial artist who's part of the cast and I think hes quick to square up with people, like he has a super short temper except around his friends
Ace Attorney games 5 and 6 are straight up bad it turns out (I'm hoping these aren't part of the Apollo justice trilogy cause he looks like such a neat guy and he deserves everything good in the world)
Phoenix canonically calls Edgeworth "daddy" (this isn't a preconception, my friend straight up told me and this convinced me even more to play the games)
I know ace attorney predates ghost trick and danganronpa but I bet there's gonna be some of the most complex murder schemes known to mankind that'll be uncovered in the trials like the two games I mentioned (I have heard danganronpa described as ace attorney meets battle royale so I'm super stoked about the mystery investigation sections of aa)
I don't know how much later the Apollo justice trilogy takes place from the aa trilogy but phoenix is gonna pretend that he's not really phoenix and there's gonna be some big plot twist where reveals himself and he tells Apollo how proud he is of him to solve a near impossible case

Question the sanity, not the writer
Me, pondering: I wonder what would happen if someone touched the mind of an Elf during one of the recall memories.
Eragon: I'm gonna pull Arya out of one of her recalls via mental connection, brb
Glen and Brom: *absolute panicked screeching because they couldn't warn him in time*
Saphira: *confused and panicked screeching because whaT THE FUCK IS THAT*
Eragon: *just screaming in general for like 30 seconds*
Arya: Well, thanks for that, I'm usually fine if you leave me in till it stops but NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU KNOWING NOT ONLY THE EXPLICIT DETAILS OF MY TORTURE BUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU JUST EXPERIENCED IT FOR HALF A MINUTE WHAT THE FUCK–
Eragon: *spends the next two days curled up in a corner hugging himself and rocking back and forth*
Arya: *joins him due to the immense guilt and violation of privacy and utter failure of protecting Eragon and Saphira from ever experiencing what she had to in order to keep them safe and the fact that Eragon now knows*
Me: ............
Me: *sllloooooowly closes laptop and goes to have a long, long think about my sanity in the bath*
Also me: *brings the tablet to keep writing it anyway*
Guys what the fuck is wrong with my brain this past week, I've been exploring the dark things more than usual.

i never ever have time to write info up in my carrd and now that i’m working on a second one for lore dumps i’m making even less progress so. releasing hc’s into the wild again, this time of the angsty pre-canon variety.
kazuha has moderate nerve damage affecting his palm and fingers. the injuries he suffered were severe and tomo’s vision, in it’s final moments, gave him an electrical burn as a parting gift.
he also definitely didn’t escape those soldiers unscathed. though incredibly skilled in evasion, he was in complete disarray. hyperventilating. terrified, and but one man against an army. none of those wounds come close to the burns though.
while he recuperated very briefly at a resistance camp, he did not let anyone near his hand or seek any immediate medical assistance that went further than trying to deal with the burns on his own. nobody looked at it until he was aboard the alcor (and scolded) but even then, there was only so much they could do for him, and his first stop in liyue was most certainly bubu pharmacy. he needed something to help him sleep too LMAO
the timeline on his escape is very unclear from canon dialogues considering he somehow spent time with the watatsumi resistance and had ayato’s help but ??? for the sake of tying those two together, ayato sent someone looking for him after the warrants for his arrest were spread. ofc you have to be something very, very special to go undetected by kazuha, so when they finally caught up to him at the camp, he cornered them immediately, listened to their plans, and acted entirely clueless while complying with them.
by that point of course the damage was done and kazuha had lost most sensation in his hand. he had to completely retrain himself. while he is not naturally ambidextrous he did have the ability to switch between hands in combat knocked into him growing up, which was a small mercy and a good starting point. he also taught himself to use every one of his heightened senses in order to find the balance and special awareness that he could not feel. through stubborn determination he comes as close as is likely possibly to his past proficiency, however it takes him well over a year. basically: kazuha during the archon quest is not kazuha at peak performance, but getting back in shape in the timeframe he did speaks volumes for his willpower.
he isn’t ashamed of the scarring and he doesn’t care if people ask. he only keeps it covered bc he knows it’s pretty gnarly looking to others. it doesn’t bother him.
kazuha is a known lightweight but that is not the reason he isn’t supplied drink one the alcor. beidou is not his mother. in reality he found himself staying dry because on the initial journey from inazuma to liyue he was… a mess. a mess that scared her, in the midst of a breakdown over details he had only barely begun to recount to her sober. he’s fine now but a joint decision was made on that front and he respects it.
he holds juza in just as high a regard as he does beidou. they both made equal effort in pulling kazuha from his thoughts turned inward. they saved him fr
beidou paid him more than enough to survive while not out at sea and so he has a very small apartment in liyue harbour. it’s really just a room to crash in, but it was the first thing he’d owned in a long time, and it has a nice view of the docks and the sea beyond. between his time with the crux and his personal travels he isn’t there often, but it’s special to him. it’s getting to be something like a home.
during the first few months in liyue, kazuha was extremely paranoid. he knew that the sakoku decree limited information passing between the two nations but… he was a fugitive, probably wanted for treason, and he couldn’t rid himself of the fear that this might have been somehow passed on to the milileth if there was any stirring suspicions that this is where he’d made for. the shogun he knew was ruthless and he wouldn’t put it past her to search beyond inazuma’s borders for him, so he was overly secretive. it took him a while to realise he was genuinely safe enough to lighten up.
he always planned to return when the time was right. the war in inazuma was not only a pressing, personal issue, but now unfinished business: he kept tabs as best he could while sailing and intended all along to return and carry the torch that tomo lit.

I was gonna write a Drabble where the gang decides to make a mixtape with everyone’s favorite song for Vecna fighting purposes and I was thinking of what Steve’s would be and I was thinking of a few good ones that would be kind of nice and unexpected from him (Son of a Preacher Man, If I Can Dream, Roadhouse Blues) but let’s be fucking real.
Everyone is saying their favorite song and it gets to Steve’s turn and he says, completely serious, “Never Gonna Give You Up”.
