Literally less than 5 minutes ago, I finished persona 3 reload. Of course, spoilers and very self indulgent rambles ahead.
I am not good with my words...but I absolutely need to say something. I have never had a story resonate with me as deeply as persona 3's did. No piece of media, not a show nor a book or any other game had me closing my eyes and heaving in silence as I sobbed. What a beautiful story. What a bold move, to base it on such a daring concept. What is the meaning of life? Why do we exist?
Aigis' 9th social link is the most precious to me. One of the most important lines to was.. "I think that might be the true joy of being alive...It can be sad, but as the same time so warm...Beautiful because it is destined to end." Both Kaminari and Aigis drive the bittersweet beauty of life home. To fight for what you can change. And to accept what you can't.
As someone who struggled with the concept of death and the meaning of life, playing this game actually put it to rest, completely. I used to randomly get panicked about my death, and what would follow. That I hadn't yet truly lived. That my life hadn't even begun. I truly treasure what learnt from this story. I feel like it has changed my outlook on the world. The real meaning of life isn't about living every single possible moment to it's fullest, getting top marks and becoming rich. It can be that time you laughed so hard with your friend you got stitches. It can be the time you spend on your hobbies, as useless as some people would describe them. It can be when you rushed outside to take a look at a rainbow, the sunset, or the moon.
This game did something illegal to my tear ducts. Cried at Shinji's eulogy, (as well as hearing his voice during the very last fight.."alright, let's end this" I covered my mouth and that's when my crying session began for tonight.) Cried at Chidori's death. However, I cried especially the day before March 5th, when you can just check in on your social links. Straight up started sobbing when I heard Miyamoto's knee was healed, when Keisuke told me about his new and improved outlook on life, as well as when I got news about Maiko's new entire life. And I have cried numerous other times throughout the game for various reasons. Everyone grew in ways I cannot even begin to put into words. I am truly, irrevocably touched by the narrative and the characters it presents. With absolutely no doubts in my mind, persona 3 is the best game I have ever played.
Do not EVER play 'memories of you' around me.

hello !! Id like hcs of what being the younger brother of phoenix and miles (separately ofc) would be like :DD thanks !
Hellu sorry for the wait, I'm finally alive again, I hope this time for a longer period. Thank you so much for waiting if you'll ever read this piece, luv u<3
Remember to drink water daily and eat correctly >:(
------------------------------------------------------
What's like being Miles Edgeworth's and Phoenix Wright's younger brother:
Tumblr media
Miles Edgeworth:
Being the younger brother of Edgeworth isn't something bad, neither exciting;
He surely knows what he's doing, between you and Franziska;
When you were little, he preferred to spend time alone, with his books and his dog;
Same as you, Franziska was your age, so you preferred to play with her and sometimes go together in Miles' room to bother him;
As you two grew up, it didn't change much really;
Franziska was a more serious woman and Edgeworth too, but now it was easier to spend time with your brother, speak to him freely and ask advice when needed;
Childhood experiences weren't really a thing, but now wherever Edgeworth went for work or pleasure, he gladly brought his brother with him -if possible- or simply a keepsake for him (and Franziska);
He invited you over often, so you two could spend some time together even if he had to work;
Miles also likes to help you with school or whatever project you have going on, an opportunity to learn new things;
One day, he introduced you to Kay, and since then it's like when you were younger;
Kay always convinced you to get Miles in some problems, or in creating ones during his investigations or in the daily;
Those few times in which you, Miles and Franziska can be together again, are always good ones;
Those two never speak about their work, unless you ask them about it, and the three of you can have some time to talk about life, anecdotes or just spend some time in each other's company.
Tumblr media
Phoenix Wright:
Phoenix always liked the idea of having someone younger to take care of;
So since you were born, he loved to play with you, teach you things and help you when you needed it;
Growing up, you were always the first one to know whatever happened in school and with his friends;
He also helped you with school, doing the homework you couldn't do, but not for free;
Either money or something you would ask your parents on his behalf;
When he left home, everything became much more boring and monotone, but sometime after he started his career, Maya was introduced to you;
Whenever they had a case together she would call you to help in the office and then spend time together once they finished investigating;
Then Maya had to go away, and yes, soon came Trucy, but also Phoenix's worst years;
You stayed by his side, mostly helping him with Trucy;
When he finally came back, with Apollo, and sometimes later Athena too, it was like having a big family;
Phoenix would always divide his time with you and his second family, but more than sometimes you were incorporated by the group.

18th Birthday
Thanks @abbiescholler for the request, sorry its late. 
A/n-OMG, tumblr, wattpad-Hello how are ya? It's been a crazy amount of time but omg it feels good to be back. I got this request way too long ago and I have some more free time now so here I am finally writing it. I missed y'all and I can't wait to revisit Riles and Lucas. Happy reading.
not proof read lol.
Riley skipped her way up the fire escape of her apartment, she was gleaming with excitement as her feet hit each step, her smile growing continuously. She reached the final step of the fire escape and slowly peered into the bay window, expecting to see her best friend and boyfriend patiently waiting to surprise her. However as her head slowly continued to look into the window she quickly realised neither of them were there. Her smile faltered slightly but she quickly brushed it off and considered that they were probably waiting for her inside. She jumped in through her bay window, her favourite starbucks drink that she had gone to get earlier in her hand, and grabbed her phone from her jean pocket. When she looked down at her phone she saw she had two texts from Maya and Lucas;
Lukey; Hey Riles, sorry I had to run out before you came back this morning, had to help my mum. Maybe see you tomorrow? xx
Maya; Won't b ova today Peaches, art stuff u get it, luv ya.
Riley sighed confused, 'Surely they didn't forget, this is way too 16 candles'. At that moment her Mother, Father and brother all burst in to her room, Balloons and cake in hand.
'HAPPY 18th RILEY' They screamed, partially in unison except for Auggie who glared at his parents because he thought they were yelling 'Happy birthday' instead. They all laughed at Auggie’s anger and gave Riley a hug.
'So sweetie, where are Lucas and Maya, I thought for sure they'd be here?' Topanga questioned while attempting to clean up Riley's room. She had grown to love cleaning Riley's room lately because it meant she could snoop on whether Lucas had stayed the night or not. She always laughed at how discrete Riley and Lucas thought they were being, but really they were anything but subtle, whether it was clothing left behind or both sides of the doona where clearly slept on. Topanga truly didn't care if Lucas did want to stay the night, the kids had just never asked her.
'No they're not here, I left this morning to get a drink and I swore they'd be here when I got back. I think they're pretending they forgot.' Riley sulked, she really didn't want to believe they forgot, but Lucas and Maya were horrible liars and it's unlikely they could pull off a big surprise, especially not later in the day. They usually would get too excited and cave before 10am.
'Look, I'm sure the group is just surprising you, I mean have you heard from Farkle, Smackle or Zay yet?' Cory questioned, he was quite concerned considering he really hadn't heard anything about a surprise from the group, so he wasn't really sure if their actually was one.
'I guess not, you're probably right, and maybe they just wanted me to have a morning with my family alone' The family burst into laughter at this statement, Maya and Lucas wanting Riley to be alone with her family and not spend time with them? It was unheard of. Alas, Riley brushed it off considering that she hadn't heard from anyone else and there's no way they'd all forgot. She scrolled through her facebook timeline as her family left to go make breakfast when a facetime notification popped up on her phone.
FARKLEY <3
Riley quickly answered hoping it had something to do with her surprise and was greeted by the faces of Zay, Smackle and Farkle.
'Happy birthday sugar.' She heard Zay yell from the back. Smackle quickly turned around and hit Zay on the arm.
'Zay, we promised Farkle he could say happy birthday first.' She scolded and Zay just rolled his eyes.
'Look, I'm new to the group, I've gotta let Riley know I care the most so I'm the favourite.' He retorted making Riley giggle. It was at this point that Farkle turned around and hit Zay.
'Zay, are you fucking serious, you've been our friend for two years and you still aren't the favourite, it's not gonna happen.'
'Umm guys hello.' Riley yelled as the three friends started to bicker.
'Sorry sugar, I know Lucas is the favourite cause ya know' Zay stated winking through the phone making everyone roll their eyes.
'Anyway happy birthday Riley, can we come up, are Maya and Lucas done with their surprise?' Farkle questioned through the phone.
'What surprise?' Riley inquired.
'We all just figured Lucas and Maya where surprising you, that's why we didn't come over. Now that I think of it they never mentioned it.' Farkle replied while climbing through Riley's window with Smackle and Zay in tow.
Riley got up from her bed and quickly hugged her friends who all had a balloon each and a big teddy bear. They all sat back down in the bay window and looked around for any sign of Lucas and Maya.
'Surely they didn't forgot, its your 18th. Although I mean now that I think of it Lucas didn't say anything, I thought it was just cause I can't keep a secret. But surely you brought it up Riles, you mentioned it to me like 8 times.' Zay spoke attempting to comfort Riley.
'I never brought it up around him cause I thought he was planning a surprise and I didn't want him to spoil it.' Riley peered sadly, she had accepted it, they must have just forgot. The group sat for a moment contemplating the situation, had the others really forgot?
'Well, for now let's do something fun, how about your favourite activity, Mini golf?' Farkle beamed and the group jumped up and ran out the window.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Riley stumbled into her bedroom at 8 after going out with her friends. After mini golf Riley had still heard nothing from Lucas and Maya, so in an attempt to cheer her up, while Smackle and Farkle weren't looking,  Zay gave Riley some alcohol he had bought with his fake ID. Although Riley thought she was fine, the tequila had really hit her just as she reached home and she was now feeling really tipsy. She burst open her door and jumped onto her bed feeling a little lethargic. Just as she was closing her eyes she looked up and saw Lucas walking slowly out of her closet.
'Hi sweet girl' Lucas hummed walking over and embracing Riley. As soon as Riley was enclosed in his arms the smell of alcohol hit his nostrils and he jumped back.
'Riley-' He started but she bounced up and slapped and his arm.
'You're silly you forgot my birthday' She pouted her arms folded on her chest. It was at this point she had realised that Riley was most definitely drunk.
'Maya' Lucas called causing Maya to slid out from under Riley's bed.
'Ok, Huckleberry what don't you understand about pretend you forgot and I'll jump out in twenty and surprise her' Maya sassed pulling out her airpods.
'No Maya, abort mission she's drunk' Lucas spoke ushering to Riley who was singing and playing with her hair.
'NO fair, you said I couldn't get her drunk' Maya pouted hitting Lucas.
'OWW, no I didn't get her drunk, it must have been Zay.'
'Oh, well mad respect he did what I wasn't brave enough to do.' Maya beamed while pumping her fist to the sky. Lucas rolled his eyes and looked down at Riley, pushing her hair out of her face.
'Well what are we gonna do now?' Lucas questioned.
'I mean she had her fun today, let's just take her up there and sleep, she can see it in the morning.' Maya replied. Lucas picked Riley up as she was now silently sleeping and walked her to the roof, he placed her down right in the middle of himself and Maya and kissed her on the forehead.
'Night beautiful, Happy birthday'.
------------------------------
Riley woke up with a pounding headache, she groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. It wasn't for a second that she noticed that the sun was quite a lot brighter than usual. She stretched her arms out expecting to be in her bed but instead was met by two hard objects.
'Ow', Lucas groaned after Riley's fist connected with his face. Maya laughed as she looked over at the exact moment that Riley's fist had connected.
'What are you two doing here. Why are we outside?' Riley questioned looking around. They were on the roof of their building laying on about 20 pillows and a large tarp was in front of them.
'Well princess, if you hadn't have gone out and gotten smashed, this was your birthday surprise.' Lucas replied kissing her hand.
'Yeah it's not gonna work now but we set this up with a projector we bought you and we were gonna watch your favourite movies, we still can we just have to wait till tonight .' Maya laughed pointing to the projector.
'That's why we had to hold off seeing you, we wouldn't have been able to not tell you for that long, plus we wanted some suspense and for you to spend some time with your family.' Lucas followed, embracing Riley in a small hug.
Riley stiffled a laugh and replied, 'I love you guys, even if your surprises never work out'. They all laughed and hugged each other while Riley looked over at her 'Happy birthday' sign. Best birthday ever, she thought to herself.
A/n Ok so thanks for reading, I can't believe these characters would be all grown up now, its crazy. I had no idea where to go with this but it carried well I feel. Let me know and send prompts, I have one to do which hopefully I'll do soon.

do the whole aa ensemble. all of them. i dare u
sondcr said: ok fine at leaaaast trucy, gumshoe, pearl, edgeworth :p
i was honest to god sitting here thinking “i wonder how long it’ll take me if i actually tried” and i almost opened the character roster on court-records.net adn started a draft
HERE ARE HEADCANONS UNDER A READMORE!! and here’s the original meme
trucy!!!
headcanon a: she always gets detention at school for doing weird shit like pulling snacks out of her magic panties in front of the principal. jinxie is usually in detention with her for falling asleep in class so she doesn’t hate it too much
headcanon b: she secretly taught herself how to use throwing knives from a youtube video tutorial
headcanon c: she has no idea how to form attachments properly. it’s either she has no interest in you or you’re her whole world, and there’s no way to know which. also: she’s constantly in doubt that phoenix and apollo actually care about her since she’s so used to family popping in and out of her life, so every time phoenix flies off to europe during the seven-year-gap she’s deathly afraid he won’t come back (’:
headcanon d: OK LOOK THE WHOLE STORY OF HOW PHOENIX ADOPTED HER IS SO WEIRD TO ME so i’ve retconned it. in my head, the day that she lost her father & nick was still in a daze from losing his badge he was like “uhhh sure i guess you can stay with me til another family member comes to pick you up” but then no one.. did….. so he sort of accidentally ended up assuming a parental role rather than being like “alright i’m ur new dad” from day one (which always seemed a lil creepy to me ngl)
richard “dick” gumshoe
headcanon a: HE LOVES HIS WIFE MAGGEY AND THEIR 2.5 KIDS AND THEIR DOG (MISSILE) SO MUCH
headcanon b: he loves singing and humming all the time and it annoys the shit out of edgeworth (and ema at first but then he grows on her and they have singalongs sometimes at the precinct)
headcanon c: he’s probably got sickeningly low self esteem because everyone uses him as their punching bag and he keeps getting paycuts so his healthcare is probably shitty so like :’’’’’’) he’s probably depressed as hell (at least during the trilogy) and it WORRIES ME
headcanon d: this isnt so much a headcanon as just a Rant but i really wish we got to see more of gumshoe getting the proper recognition and appreciation he deserves…. u don’t just accidentally become a detective so clearly he is super smart and good at his job
pearly (hers are a lot shorter but it doesnt mean i luv her any less i promise..)
headcanon a: she doesn’t get a very good cell/wifi connection in hazakurain so she and trucy send each other snail mail and decorate the letters with doodles and stickers and glitter bombs and whatnot
headcanon b: she’s got the scariest death glare in the whole village (she inherited it from her mother).. don’t u dare fuckin cross her
headcanon c: she misses mia almost as much as maya does and regrets not getting to spend more time with her before she died
headcanon d: it would have been cool if pearl aged a single day between aa3 and her cameo in aa5
edgeworth (hoooOOO BOY)
headcanon a: pess is his psychiatric service dog who helps calm him down during earthquakes and other things that trigger his ptsd!
headcanon b: sometimes he lets klavier, simon, yumihiko, & ema (and kay whenever she sneaks in) come in & take naps in his office because look, somebody’s gotta use that couch and his subordinates are all just about as traumatized as he is. they all deserve a break
headcanon c: ha ha haaaa………… i have so many Sad Thoughts about this guy how do i pick which ones to write about. uhh ok this one is pretty common among members of the fandom but i think about it a lot and it’s pretty crucial to my understanding/interpretation of him as a character, so: (( #suicide tw )) when he left the “miles edgeworth chooses death” note, he wasn’t sure at that point whether he meant it literally or not. this has been explored in lots of fics before too, including either l/egal p/artners or t/urnabout t/oast, i can’t remember which (maybe both?)
headcanon d: seeing edgeworth’s discarded aa5 concept art at first was VERY!! ALARMING!!! to me bc some of it looked dangerously similar to manfred von karma’s style, which you’d think he would be like, actively rejecting at this point in his life? so in my head he’s starting to chill out a bit. like he even wears t-shirts on the weekends sometimes. they’re ridiculously expensive t-shirts and he looks bomb as hell in ‘em but still. he can be Casual sometimes. sometimes.
