I will say this rarepair with my chest: Larry butz/dick gumshoe yes I will erase Larry butz's canon heterosexuality, I just know him better

I do respect you for declaring this off anon. Why these two specifically?

I FORGOR TO LINK THE CARRD FOR MATERFRED (materfred.carrd.co) IN MY SUBMISSION.

Thank you for the carrd! Though I will say, I’m not sure if I can legally accept materfred into the tourney due to it breeching containment. As someone who is not in the ace attorney fandom, but was well aware of its existence for about a year now, I think it might be too well-known to be a ‘weirdass’ ship, and is just a regular crackship/rarepair.

I’m looking for entries with little to no staying power in the minds of people, so I think something that’s managed to achieve recognition outside of its given fandom wouldn’t work for this type of poll. I’ll be doing pre-bracket arrangement polls on wether or not something should count as a ‘weirdass ship’ later on, so I might put them there if you wanna debate it.

✍️🌦️💞☕️💘 for your ace attorney insert!! <3

wahhh yay, thank you!!! I've been on an ace attorney kick lately, so I'd be happy to talk more about my insert!! ♡

✍️: Overall, how does the fandom treat you? Are you a beloved character, or hated? Are you popular, or a minor side character? Anything in between?

I feel like my insert would be pretty looked-over in the grand scheme of things, honestly. She wouldn't be a major main character like Phoenix or Maya or Edgeworth, and would only show up as the defendant in one case and a witness in another. Some people might dislike her, for whatever reasons (I can also see her being compared to someone like Maggey a lot), but I think the general consensus would be fairly neutral.

🌦️: Would you be accompanied by mostly fluff or angst fanfics? Both? Explain why.

Hmmm, I suppose that depends. I think there'd be a lot of angst surrounding my insert's relationship with Godot and how she fits into his narrative (initially reminding him of Dahlia/prosecuting her trial despite her being innocent/him later being convicted guilty of his own crime and being imprisoned for it/etc). But I think whatever angst that would come out of our ship would be accompanied by a lot of comfort fics. I think our main genres in the fandom would be "angst with a happy ending" and "hurt/comfort".

💞: Aside from with your f/o, who else would you commonly be shipped with? Why?

I really can't imagine her being shipped with anyone else, tbh. Not necessarily because I'm only interested in Godot, but because I don't think she'd be a major enough character to warrant shipping her with anyone else. There might be a couple rarepairs and crack-ships out there involving slightly-related characters like Mia or Dahlia (or maybe even Larry if you take into consideration his role in Bridge to Turnabout, but that's a stretch imo), but I don't think there'd be anything outside of shipping her with Godot.

☕️: What are the most common plots of shipping fics between you and your f/o?

Post-canon coffee shop AUs, for sure. I have it established in my canon that we do open up a coffee shop together a while after Godot is released from prison and makes a small cameo later down the line (probably in one of the Apollo Justice games tbh), so I can imagine a lot of fics centering around that. Also, I'm sure a lot of fics would probably dive deeper into the time period where Godot is still in prison that would otherwise be offscreen.

💘: Why would people love your ship? Why would people dislike your ship? How might it start debates?

Oh, the Mia vs Hannah debates would be horrendous, I can already tell. There would be a lot of people who would really hate our ship because 1) my self insert is pretty vastly different from Mia and therefore doesn't "suit his type" and 2) because showing Godot actively moving on from his previous relationship and finding someone new after Mia's death would make a ton of people mad.

I do imagine that there would be people who really like our ship, however, because having Godot move forward with his life and find someone new to love is a pretty blatant display of his character growth and shows that he is finally learning to not cling so desperately to a past he can't change and instead start creating a new future for himself. It's what Mia would have wanted for him — to move forward and be happy — and it makes me glad to think that some people would recognize that and want that for him as well.

Haha, what if I made a klemapollo ita bag.......haha, just kidding.............................................unless 👀

hear me out. lang/godot. the two hottest men in ace attorney get together so no one else can have them. they'd be spouting barely-relevant faux philosophy at each other 24/7. lang zi says: a cup of coffee is only worth as much as the beans it's made of. think about it

Yes!!! Your brain is huge anon

not a rare pair but literally larry x any female character

he's a simp

Based purely on my inbox atm, any ship where Larry is with a woman actually is a rarepair. The ace attorney fandom apparently looked at his canon heterosexuality and was like Nah. And I respect that deeply

rarepairs: has anyone said gumshoe/larry butz yet. that’s my rarepair from like middle school. i don’t rly have feelings on it anymore but i think it’s sillay

They have indeed. Consequently, DickButz is now my OTP

I’m not sure who I ship among the group, but I think Maya, Franziska, Kay, Ema, Penny Nichols, and Regina Berry should be good friends and become a girl power squad (which then guides the next generation girl power squad of Trucy, Pearl, Athena, Juniper, Rayfa, Armie Buff and Robin Newman)

ron delite x matt engarde. ron can have a type

Desiree x Ron x Matt throuple when? Cos I like this, but don't want Desiree and Ron to divorce. "this is my husband Ronnie and this is his boyfriend Matt" type energy

luke atmey x godot.

They can't smooch on account of that giant pinocchio nose and the visor get in the way... Tragically beautiful

I lowkey ship Maya with Penny Nichols, the PA from Turnabout Samurai, like they stay pen pals afterward and send each other Steel Samurai trading cards, it's so cute

Plus Penny is like one of the only people to comment on Maya looking different when she's channeling Mia so you know she was paying at least some attention to what Maya looks like

Honestly? Same

A rare pair I love and want to see more content of: Robin Newman and Myriam Scuttlebutt! I just think their dynamic is cool, and the little art I've seen of them is some of my favourite around. I've heard the name myrobin as a ship name, but I think manbutt is funnier

manbutt.

gregory x manfred is my absolute favorite (inside joke) rarepair believe me it’s so fun to woobify them. anyway thoughts on gregfred?

Not to out myself as a former Homestuck, but... They're kismeses...

I feel like people forget that FranMaya is a rare pair with its more recent boom in popularity. It only exists in the English speaking fandom (I've checked) and Franziska and Maya barely interact in canon at all. And yet it is so perfect that it makes me kind of insane. Also I'm kin with Franziska and Maya's my dream girl so I think it's kind of a win for me personally. What were we talking about again

This is very true, like is a popular rarepair still a rarepair? What would you call that? An ascended rarepair? Idk.

No idea if timeline wise this lines up so just imagine they r both adults- Penny Nichols and vera misham

The general ship concept of autistic girls in love? We love to see it.
