BUF @ DAL (01.23.23)

Child advocate lawyer Miles Edgeworth. He's this big scary looking guy who Immediately folds under the slightest bit of pressure from a child. (Your honor he said he wouldn't testify without the camera. I told him it was illegal. He restated his terms. So he gets the camera in court. Very well then Prosecutor Edgeworth.) But they call him a demon for a reason. He met Jessie 8 minutes ago and if ANYONE was mean to her he would kill everyone in the room and then injure himself trying to make her smile.

His office is pink. It is full of children's toys and he Has actually seen every episode of them yes i would love to discuss it's merits right now do you have three hours? These two facts mean children either 1. Flock to him or 2. Have something easy to bully him about. Which he takes in stride from children. (But rip to the adult who tried to join in) See: Ema.

He knows first hand the Terror of being on the stand. Of being Alone on the stand while your world collapses around you. But he's there. They are Never alone while he's there with them. He is calm, eloquent and the most powerful person in the courtroom for sure! And still he walks the stairs because "my father died in an elevator. So im scared of them. It's okay to be scared of things. We can always take the stairs."

He's a pathetic mess. More than once a child has been brought to him early in the morning and asked if they've brushed their teeth yet. "Because if not I still need to. I have some spares if you'd like one. Even some steel samurai ones." He is still not nice to the detectives. Some children scold him (which he accepts) and some laugh. (which he wears as a badge of pride for the rest of the week.)

He is on the emergency housing list for kids taken in after incidents. It's just supposed to be for a night but a few times it became extended stays. He was pulled off the case for one of the girls because "Prosecutor Edgeworth i think you'd make a more valuable witness than prosecutor don't you?" The word around the courthouse was Edgeworth nearly killed the defendant so the judge pulled the demon out.

Adding an inconsequential, undeveloped character from the 2001 horror flop Thir13en Ghosts? More likely than you think.

Yk realistically if the om bros were fucked up like demons should be, they wouldn't be that disturbed by bloodlust el's personality.

However, I think the terror and angst comes from the fact that they lived with him his whole life, and for the most part, he was very passive and calm and never immediately resorted to violence, so to see [what used to be] their human revel in bloodshed is.. unsettling.

I have this funny headcanon/theory that the gold and silver demons are just like, low key working for monkey king.

they just get sent out to give MK goofy little adventures with the advertising money (and hoarded junk) sun wukongs collected over the centuries

its good exercise for MK, sometimes gives him problems to solve that dont involve combat, and theres no chance of the two actually hurting or scaring MK as far as sun wukongs concerned, and they notably took on a job in the lantern city that was entirely out out of the way/not causing anyone problems when a real threat came to town.

I think it being revealed later in the series with like, sun wukong bossing them around to get them to go grab something for him when he's busy would just be funny and MK would react in a funny way

if they do work for monkey king though I hope their payed well, MK puts them through the ringer

Aw, super cute headcanon!

I just found the last bit you posted and I AM HERE AND ALL THE EXCITED FOR JOKER'S SHATTERED KNEECAPS. GO GETTEM, DANNY!

Ahem. I mean, yeah, it sounds like it could be fun.

Sorry it took awhile for me to respond. I've been really sick the past week, and I'm still sick and too exhausted to write. But! I wanted you to know i appreciate the ask, and the interaction. Honestly the interactions keep me passionate so continue to feed me.

I'm glad you're excited for Danny confronting the Joker, so have a treat.

💚

"Oh! What is this? A little game of freeze the clown? Who's playing? Is that you, Mr. Freeze?" The Joker called out, sitting up from his cot and clapping his hands.

"No," Danny spoke, voice tinged in static as he let himself be seen, knowing his body was distorting. Limbs too long, too many joints, teeth too sharp and smile too wide. Like someone who had never seen a human tried to draw one off the words of a blind man. Uncanny, unnatural, not quite right.

and it's like despite all the awful shit he's done and continues to do, like, i get it. he's employed like 24/7/365. he never got to live a life, despite spending a childhood clinging to the hope of having one someday. He knew companionship and love but lost it and can't ever get it back. His circumstances are so anomalous and gruesome that it completely isolates him from pretty much every other human being on the planet. he knows hell is real and he is basically guaranteed to go there if he can't break this demon curse thing.

like it doesn't make the kidnapping and spreading the curse around any better, but i do get it.

} There really is something to good music making things memorable

so, perhaps i am a bit too invested

i may have realized that harlot is actually going to be very difficult to ship with IUHRGUIEGTKJR

truly i think what all the terrible fandom wikis need is to learn to use citations more

the thing about the USA is you will go online and meet 50,000 other americans and not one of them could tell you how their government works.

i know this is going to end up being Headcanon Tags again but i'm thinking about william and his Famous Casserole™ again

ok so I just wanted to pop in and say that because of your blog and the post/ask you had a while ago about aki doing laundry has legit motivated me to do my laundry a few times since then. I always think “I’m in my aki hayakawa era” when I decide to fold laundry, so thank you (also I love your writing)

GOOD FOR YOU ANON!!! THE AKI-ISM IS SO POWERFUL!!!!!!!

living is difficult
