At my job I always need to consider the fact that my severy disabled clients will be exhausted and out of power much faster than I'll be, and that they won't always be able to put in effort to move.
But I'm confident in saying my girl Becky is just lazy as fuck-
When she is lying down to get her nappies changed and I don't sing, she will sit up in a second to touch my face like "I aint lying down here in silence, woman. Sing a song."
But when I'm done and tell her to sit up she be like "I can't do it, man. You do it." And when I repeat it a few more times, she holds her hand up like "I need help."
To which I say: "Becky, I know you can do this on your own, very fast even. Sit up."
And boom, she sits up.
Told my coworkers that she can do it on her own, and one of them came to me like: "Yeah, she refused to do it."

The new trilogy means we finally got official French translations of the fifth and sixth games (the fourth already had one) so I did my thing and played through them, since they're always a lot of fun. Here are some things about French Dual Destinies I thought you might like to know:
Yes, it's set in France as per usual. They are all French people who live in Paris. And yes, that means that in this universe there is a Japanese village themed around yokai within throwing distance of Paris.
Athena lived in America in this version, and therefore peppers her speech with English and Spanish. My favourite unhinged franglais line was "let's get au travail" which I will be using from now on because it's hilarious
Many characters got French pun names again. Simon's name is "Jack Lamenoire" -- Jack, because the French version of Simon Says uses the name Jack/Jacques, and "lame noire" means "black blade". (Also he's not British or anything in this version, he just speaks in somewhat old-timey French.)
He has multiple nicknames for the judge that are all slight variations of "Your Baldness". He doesn't do that "-dono" suffix thing but he does refer to Phoenix in particular as "Maître Wright".
...I don't like pointing out things I didn't like buuuuuut his voice is a huge downgrade. Actually, to be honest, I don't like the new French voices that much in general... idk man they just don't sound very enthusiastic...
Filch's name is "Arsène Loupet", reference to the famous fictional thief Arsène Lupin, which I thought was pretty cool! (Herlock Sholmes was also a reference to that series too btw!)
Athena and Apollo use informal pronouns for each other pretty much from the get-go, but there have been some changes from the previous games: Phoenix now uses the informal "tu" for Apollo (and Athena) whereas in the prev game he didn't, Pearl now uses "tu" for Phoenix as well, and Klavier uses "tu" for Apollo now (but Apollo still calls him the formal "vous" lmao)
SPEAKING OF... SPEAKING OF. The French localisation continues to utterly baffle me when it comes to Klavier (or Konrad as he's called in French). No listen, liSTEN. In the previous game he was specifically stated to be English and did his law exams in England and dropped English words into his speech (and this is still the case in the trilogy version, I checked). But now?? They seem to have gone back on it and in this game he says he's German again, like the in English translation??? But he's still dropping English words into his speech randomly????? Look I already went through the five stages of grief when I found out they'd english-ified him, I made my peace with it, and NOW they change it???????
God and his new French voice sucks too (his old one was actually good)... what have they done to you my poor boy, was making you English not bad enough T_T Oh and he and Athena didn't even get their little language club moment where they both start speaking in the same foreign language?? Like, that just straight-up didn't happen here and I had been waiting for it aauuugh it's cool it's fine it's cool i'm okay i'm--
True to Dual Destinies fashion, there are still typos. In an emotional moment, Apollo took a leave of asbence from the office. Not absence. Asbence.
I can't put my finger on it but Robin's coming out scene felt more... respectful in French? The English translation was done over a decade ago so it feels somewhat dated, maybe that's why... I obviously don't know if she was purposely written to be a trans girl but she very much comes across that way, and it feels like the French translators were aware of that interpretation and took it into account, idk maybe it's just me
THEY GOT RID OF MY FAVOURITE LINE. THE FORESHADOWEY ONE WHERE SIMON TELLS ATHENA THAT THE PERSON SHE WANTS TO SAVE MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD DOESN'T DESIRE HER DEFENCE, AND HE'S CLEARLY TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF. THE FRENCH MADE HIM SAY SOMETHING ELSE WAY LESS COOL. I don't wanna be like "FRENCH TURNABOUT ACADEMY IS DEAD TO ME" because most of it was awesome, but man these occasional things made me wanna flip tables
Cosmic Turnabout and Turnabout for Tomorrow were great in French though, so there's that. Clay's French name is "Pierre" which worked surprisingly well because it means stone or rock, and the moon rock was also called that, so like, the phantom had to kill Pierre in order to get the pierre... idk it worked and it was cool
Simon and Athena switch to using informal pronouns for each other very near the end of the game, in the scene where they work together to psychologically mess with the phantom. It's around the time when they start openly calling each other by first name since everyone knows now that they're old friends.
Phoenix and Edgeworth also occasionally refer to each other by first name in this game, which threw me off completely. (Reminder that Edgeworth's French name is "Benjamin Hunter". Just picture Phoenix standing in front of Edgeworth and calling him BENJAMIN. Now you understand how absolutely bizarre it felt.)
Here's the entirety of The Dissin' of Phoenix Wright in French

T S A W K S Y U L - sun lilly
Pairing: agedup!Neteyam x omatikaya!fem!reader
Words: 1k+ (7 min.)
Warnings: fluff, love confessions, mentions of mating, use of y/n, a slight insecure reader, wounds, bit of swearing, sexual thoughts, making out, jealousy
A/N: ok so I don't even know why I made this but I am completely obsessed with Avatar and Neteyam sooo why not write if I enjoy reading it sm? Btw English ain't my first language so there might be some wrongly written words, nevertheless I hope you like it!
Translations:
Oel ngati kameie - I see you
Paywll - water plant (used for medicine)
Maite - my daughter
Tumblr media
"Sometimes two souls are matched by Eywa herself."
His grandmother once said, and that was exactly what crossed Neteyam's mind when he first saw you. You were both about 11 and he, alongside his brother were walking towards the healing tent after Lo'ak fell because of a vine.
And there you were, mixing up medicine with your new friend Kiri for the Tsahìk.
"You can't never get away from trouble can you child?"
Lo'ak scratched the back of his neck and sat down waiting for his grandmother to patch him up. Neteyam on the other hand found himself gawking at the new girl, with a tsawksyul resting on her ear, standing right in front of him.
She was beautiful, no, alluring. Everything inside him tingled when she turned her face to hand Mo'at a misture of plants and now Neteyam was wishing he was the one tripping over vine so that he would be cured by whatever was made by the girl's hands.
"Oh brother, this is my new friend Y/N."
Y/N Y/N Y/N, her name rang on his head like a song that never stopped musing.
"Oel ngati kameie, Neteyam." She held 2 of her 4 fingers to her forehead and dropped them, greeting Neteyam in the most unintentionall graceful way.
"Oel ngati kameie, Y/N"
He struggles to breath, the mighty warrior Neteyam was shaking because of a girl?
He knew his siblings noticed his flustered behavior, but he didn't care. He only cared about finding out everything about this Y/N, this behavior seemed to stay untouched for the following 7 years...
Tumblr media
"Mama! I'm going to pick up some more paywll for the Tsahìk."
Your voice rang inside the tent you and your family lived. "Okay, maite. Just be safe and do not come home after eclipse, yeah?"
"Yup!"
You say as you walk out of your house, casually jumping to fasten your step. Teníu your ikran seemed to be already waiting for you and you immediately hop on top of him to sore in the beautiful sky, although you enjoyed being a healer sometimes you wished you could just fly across Pandora with no due time.
That was always on your mind but you cared too much for your people, who else would cheer up the young children while healing their swollen bruises, or patch up the hunters?
Well, someone else probably would but you like the fact everyone liked you, even the most sour kids.
While caught up with your own thoughts you fail to notice the na'vi in front of you preparing to make a clean kill on an animal.
"Oh shit-"
You bumped on the boy's back and he missed his target, something unusual for him. Him being no other than Neteyam.
"I am so sorry 'Teyam, I didn't see you- well I did see you but I didn't really mark your presence."
You ramble an apology to your friend and crush, hoping he could endure your stupidity, but the boy was barely listening to you if he was being honest, your voice was now a background sound while he discreetly admired your body and how your skin was glowing from the sun.
"It's all good Y/N, no need to tire yourself, I wasn't even interested in the kill." That was a lie. He actually needed that kill to bring home for lunch, but speaking with you was far more interesting than a meal. Plus, he made a promise to his parents to start courting you at the Hunt festival, not he didn't think to do it since forever but he just didn't have the courage. What if you rejected him and it made things awkward? He couldn't bare being apart from you.
"Oh, good then." You smile and your eyes wondered his body looking for wounds, a habit you seemed to pick up ever since you tasked yourself with healing.
"Come, you have a big cut right here, on your shoulder. I shall patch you up before it gets infected."
"Y/N, there is no need for that I am fine and it's not that big."
You looks at him with your doll like eyes and he immediately knows there is no way he can convince you to not patch him up.
You grab his forearm and he immediately took a deep breath, calming his body, or more so his cock. He did this everytime your hands were on him and he loved and hated when you patched him up because as soon as you were done with it, he knew he had to pleasure himself while thinking the most obscene things about you.
He knew it probably wasn't the right thing to do, and he sometimes felt shame for having these thoughts about you but he couldn't help it.
You arrived back into high camp and dragged the boy to the healers tent, your second home.
You unwrap the paywll you picked up and immediately started working on your favorite patient.
His skin was soft, and his gaze was stuck on you, amazed by your concentrated face. He was always struck by how beautiful and graceful you were, and he knew he wasn't the only one who thought this. In fact, he heard everyday comments from other hunters on your beauty. But they don't know you like he does, they don't deserve you like he does. If he could choose when to take his last breath, it would next to you, just so he could take your devine scent with him.
"Y/N?"
His voice was a whisper now, hell, he could barely hear his own voice now.
"Yes, I'm almost done."
"Y/N, do you like anyone?"
Your freckles glowed and you avoided his eyes at all cost.
"Y-yes of course, I like everyone."
You say, trying desperately to cover up your massive crush on the boy you were healing. He couldn't know, not when he probably already has his mate promised, not when he basically see's you like a another little sister of his.
"Not like that. Like, is there anyone you would like to mate with? We're at the age of finding a mate..."
You felt sadness wash over you now, although you knew what he was saying is true, you didn't want to talk about mating. Not when the one you truly wanted to mate with was far from your reach.
"Maybe..."
The silent was scratching your skin in a very uncomfortable way and you were counting the seconds till you where finished with the cut.
"Who?"
His voice was stern and with a hint of jealousy, but he couldn't control it. You with someone else but him? Never.
Your silence was not helping either, not that he wasn't confident but you always seemed so distant and uncomfortable when he talked about love or mating, perhaps even sad...
"Is it Naran?"
You shake your head still not daring to look at him.
"Heatey?" "No, no Neteyam it's not-"
He grabs your thigh with one hand and your chin with the other forcing eye contact with his eyes, looking desperately for an answer.
"Who is it then?"
He was starting to get close, too close. You could feel his hot breath on your plump lips and his fingers gripping your thigh ever so slightly.
"Neteyam..."
You sigh, it was him you liked. It was him you loved but you weren't able to make yourself say it, not when he's so close and-
His lips connect into yours. It was sweet and perfect just like you imagined, maybe it even surpassed your expectations. You both start moving in sync like you've done this for your whole life but it was only the first time your lips met someone else's.
He licks your bottom lip asking nicely for permission to enter your mouth, now what started as an innocent puppy love first kiss, turned into a heated make out, both craving each other. Not that you didn't want it but you were question if you were doing it right.
After a rough minute you pull away, a string of spit being attached to your swollen lip.
"Say it Y/N. Please..."
He begged with faded eyes.
"You, you are the... I love you 'Teyam"
He absolutely despised when other girls called him Teyam, with their annoying squealing voice. But you... Eywa, you said it in the most pleasing way for a word to be spoken. All he wanted to hear for as long as he met you was just said in the most perfect way.
He kissed you again, wanting to be stuck in your mouth forever.
"I love you Y/N, I love you so much it's arduous to breath when you're not by my side. It hurts to walk when I know that at the end you won't be there greet me. I am madly in love you."
You huff a breathy chuckle not believing your dream has just changed to a reality.
He smiles still holding your heated cheeks.
"I have something for you."
Your ears twitch in curiosity, as he pulls out a neck piece, obviously made with tsawksyul. It was beautiful.
"Wow Neteyam..."
You admire the accessory, stunned by it's beauty.
"Y/N I was originally going to give this to you tomorrow, to ask you to be mate but I cannot wait any longer. When I saw you for the first time, you were wearing a tsawksyul on your hair. It was beautiful, you were beautiful. It became my favorite flower and my favorite material, everytime I see one I think of you, I guess that's why I love them so much, I see them all the time."
He looks down and takes a deep breath like he always wanted to say this, but took himself back everytime.
"I want you to wear this necklace so I don't have to see a tsawksyul to have your image on my mind. I want it to be backwards. I want to think of tsawksyul's when I see you."
Tears were threatening from falling off your eyes as you hug him and feel a grunt coming form him.
"Oh fuck, I'm sorry I forgot about your cut."
"It's fine, I can handle a cut. What I can't handle is your rejection."
He arched his eyebrow and you giggle softly to yourself.
"I would love to be your mate Ma Neteyam."
Ma Neteyam... He could definitely get used to this. In fact, he wanted to hear that every day.
"I love you."
He says again connection both of your foreheads while cupping your cheeks like he always wanted, like you always wanted.
Tumblr media
Is it just me, or does this lowkey slap? 🤭
Anyways I hope you guys liked it! (And lmk if you want a part 2, perhaps with some smut)

summary: how is it as miguel's wife?
warnings: none
pairing: miguel o'hara x spider-wife!reader
notes: headcanons! reader can speak spanish >:)) btw i'm using google translate for the translations.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
despite being a complete brood in the office, his entire mood is different with you—naturally, you're his wife after all.
okay, but he threw a chair at you once.
you weren't as phased as anticipated, anomalies throw debris at you all the time!
in actually, you were suspecting he'd launch something your way one of these days. considering his foul attitude towards things or people that irritate him, you'd expected at least one thing to be thrown at you.
but soon enough you wiggled your way into his cold heart. (wiggled—like a worm. you once asked him if he'd still love you if you were a worm. his response was to just stare at you with a confused smile.)
the relationship blossomed pretty quickly—and so did his reputation as a "lovesick missulena around his wife".
your husband doesn't like the nickname, but since you find it hilarious he won't say anything, for now.
the kids think of you as a second mother; gwen, miles, and pav do. hobie does think of you as a suitable mother, but to him you're more of a cool aunt.
peter b often leaves mayday with you when missions call for high-risk danger. meanwhile you don't mind, she's just too cute!
miguel sometimes (always) gets peeved when all your attention is on her, he wants you to show him that kind of affection too! :‹
you do, of course, but not without a few teasing comments here and there.
"awe, you big baby."
"..."
"what? too needy to say anything?"
"...cállate tú." shut up, you.
"hm, what was that, pretty boy?"
"i said shut up!"
"oh, alright. whatever you want, mi amor." my love.
and some say miguel snuggled closer to you after that.
everyone in the spider-society overall loves you! even before becoming something to the boss man.
though, with many of the spiders being fond of you, miguel has had to fend off a lot of enamored arachnids.
he's overprotective of you. (he's already lost one loved one, he can't lose another)
most likely will not let you go on missions he deems is too dangerous. don't get me wrong, miguel knows you can handle yourself, but if a mission proves too minacious, you'll bet he's dumping that responsibility onto someone else.
since he's a workaholic, you are definitely bringing in lunch for the pair of you. because of this, you're the designated chef in your relationship. (yes, miguel does cook as well, but he's usually too swamped with work to do so)
your husband is always grateful for the lunches you bring him.
"querido? where are you?" dearest.
you wonder aloud as you swing into miguel's office. the familiar voice of your husband draws you to his platform mid air. you grin, your webs sticking on the ceiling of the room while you swing onto the platform.
there your husband is, ignorant of the happenings around him as he continues tapping on the orange screens. lyla is hovering over his shoulder, briefing him on whatever it is.
the aforementioned man turns toward you with a smile, and you feel your heart practically melt at the sight.
"mi preciosa, what are you doing here?" my precious.
"hey, estimado. i brought lunch!" dear.
miguel's smile seems to grow as you hold up two lunch boxes filled with home cooked meals, beaming from ear to ear whilst you did so.
"i thought we could eat at the cafeteria instead of this sunlight deprived vampire cave. no offense."
your husband gives a laugh, planting a kiss on the crown of your head.
"let's do just that then."
you and lyla get along really well, and by really well, it's to the point where miguel doesn't have the ai show up whenever you're around anymore.
i mean, what if lyla is speaking badly of him and you fall out of love because you've heard his deepest darkest flaws?! he wouldn't be able to handle that.
a/n: i'll definitely write more if i think of anything else!

Deep Cover ENG Translyrics
Tumblr media
*shaking* hhi so i've mentioned a few times that i actually sort of. write translyrics a-and i wrote these like. in an hour. i am not insane btw. i am so normal.
a note: we don't have an official eng translation rn and i do learn japanese and can speak it a little bit, but i am definitely not fluent, so there can be some mistakes and also these lyrics might not be the most accurate because i changed some stuff to add more rhythm (?) to the lyrics and just because i thought it sounded cool. but i still tried my best to keep it as similar to the original ones as possible!
also i do write translyrics often but i don't have that much experience with translating stuff to english so. um. pls be nice ;w;
i wish i could add a recording of me singing it to show how they're supposed to sound, but. my voice is too weak for this song djdkkd i think these should sound good though :'D
(UNDER)
Feeding off of you, don't say it's over
(UNDER)
I've achieved my goal, but it's still getting colder
It's so dumb, it's so dumb, but
My rage can't be stopped, can't be stopped!
You're so lame!
(UNDER)
The queen is here, that's the role she's playing
(UNDER)
You think a thief like you can save them?
It's so dumb, it's so dumb, but
My love can't be stopped, can't be stopped!
It's so hard!
I wonder who should I get rid of?
Oh, you're guilty? It's what you deserve
That's why I have become your fangs and claws
The hero that everyone has been waiting for
My answer? You should already know
"Stop it, please" Oh, please, I thought you wanted more
Why would you stop me now?
A mission, a motive and a goal, that's what I need
I beg you, beg you now
Please give me my next reason to live
(UNDER)
Put your mask on, king, and don't stop faking
My faith's too strong and you'll never break it
It's so dumb, it's so dumb, but
It's true, I forgot, I forgot!
I'm so bored!
(UNDER)
Your memories are lost inside this prison
(UNDER)
Wish to defeat me? How funny, what's your reason?
It's so dumb, it's so dumb, but
Let's go and knock this damn door down!
That's why you have become my reason to live
What you're waiting for, go and choose "Not forgive"
Empathy is an illusion, don't listen to it
Evil is evil and that's what you have to defeat
Why would you stop me now?
A mission, a motive and a goal, that's what I need
I beg you, beg you now
Please give me my next reason to live
(UNDER)
(UNDER)
What I'm looking for has to be correct and just
This hopeless future, I want it to be crushed
It's so dumb, it's so dumb, but
I'm the one that you can trust
That's why I have become your fangs and claws
The hero that everyone has been waiting for
My answer? You should already know
"Stop it, please" Oh, please, I thought you wanted more
Why would you stop me now?
A mission, a motive and a goal, that's what I need
I beg you, beg you now
Please give me my next reason to live (x2)
(UNDER)
Number one! A parasite, good for nothing
(UNDER)
Number two! A slut that has no shame
(UNDER)
Number four! A queen wearing a fake crown
(UNDER)
Number five! Cutting them open, failure of a savior
(UNDER)
Number seven! A liar wanting to stay hidden
(UNDER)
Number eleven! A useless prison warden
It's so dumb, it's so dumb, but
Can you stay behind, stay behind, just shut up
Translation notes:
"Feeding off of you" is a reference to Kotoko calling Haruka a parasite and "don't say it's over" is a reference to Haruka's relationship with his mother and "wanting her to hug him again as she once did".
"The queen is here, that's the role she's playing'' I really wanted to keep the "queen game" part, but I just couldn't make it sound good, so at least we have this :')
"You really think a thief like you can save them?" The original one had "stealer" but I thought "thief" sounds better in this version!
"It's true, I forgot, I forgot!" At first I wanted to keep the "can't be stopped" bit, but I just really couldn't come up with anything related to it and then I thought that Mikoto having a part that sounds different would be really cool in a way.
"Wish to defeat me? How funny, what's your reason?" Please feel free to correct me, but I genuinely don't know if Kotoko is asking Es if they want to "defeat" her or if she's talking about Es assuming that Kotoko wants to "defeat" them, it doesn't help that she also says "Laughable justice" after this, but I went with the first option.
"This hopeless future, I want it to be crushed" The original lyrics mention the "dirty future" and I. Have no idea what she means by that, so I went with this.
"Number one! A parasite, good for nothing" LISTEN, HER SAYING EVERYONE'S NUMBERS LIKE THAT SOUNDS COOL. Also, I really did want everyone's parts to rhyme, but I just couldn't come up with anything and all my ideas sounded weird, so I decided to keep it this way, sort of like Kotoko is yelling at them and really calling them out?

Deep Cover and YONAH spoilers!
First impressions time! (Looking at this translation for Deep Cover, this one for YONAH). Btw I actually haven't listened to Deep Cover yet because it's not out in my time-zone rip.
Add plagiarism to the list of crimes committed by Milgram prisoners lol. I actually love the Undercover callback it's fantastic! And the diss track? Eminem got nothing on wolf girl over here.
But this does raise the question of how much she actually knows about the murders. Like, she talks about very specific things such as Shidou being a "priceless stealer", so she has to know something. I saw someone bring up she may have been spying on all the interrogations, and I have to assume that's the case because how else would that happen.
I'm really interested in the fact Kotoko seems to want everyone to be Unforgiven, though.
Which one do you pick? I want unforgiven
And the fact at the end she lists all the T1 innos and insults them, as if she wants them to be Unforgiven too. Like, I get it, she enjoys feeling like she's dealing out justice, but what. I hope the MV clarifies a bit more because right now she just sounds unhinged. Which is fun! I like characters who are just unrepentantly evil. But I get the feeling there's something more going on. We already know some of her motivations from HARROW, but you have to wonder if they've evolved in some way during her time in Milgram.
Speaking of the MV, my prediction is not only that the other prisoners are gonna be there, which I have to assume will happen-
(Please show Amane as a monster please show Amane as a monster please show Amane as a monster)
-Ehem. Apologies. I don't know what possessed me there for a moment.
You wanna know the wildest prediction I have for the MV? (Which is most likely going to be wrong don't get too excited) It think every prisoner's crime will be related to one of the crimes we saw in HARROW, and perhaps others we'll get introduced to in Deep Cover.
Shidou: “UNDER” Unsalvagable Priceless stealer.
Probably the guy that stole a bunch of luxury bikes, since it fits the idea of stealing from a lot of people.
Kazui: “UNDER” I stay hidden, fake prosperity and greed.
Either Mikio Oshii (the guy from the alleway), who pretended to be a bank employee to steal money, or the "It's me" scammers, who called people, pretended to be a family member and asked for money.
Fuuta: You’re being a jerk. You’re being a jerk.
Either the "It's me" scams, or the guy who took upskirt photos, because they're connected to phones.
Haruka: “UNDER” It’s a stupid dependency. Muu: “UNDER” Unchanging. A spinning queen’s game. Mahiru: I still like you though, still like you, it’s difficult.
One of these would be the paper bag robbery done by two people. I don't know about this one, but I think it kinda works.
Mikoto: I really don’t remember, I really don’t, it’s so bad.
It could be the guy who took upskirt photos since he said he did it because of stress from work, but knowing Kotoko, I wouldn't be surprised if she connects him and John to the serial killer in the white hoodie. She does not like them.
I'm not sure about the rest of them. Again, that's just a silly prediction, I'm not expecting it to happen, I'm just putting it out there because if it does happen I will feel like a God lol.
About YONAH, I'm slightly disappointed we didn't get much about Kotoko herself, but it's still really good! I think it's fun that she sorta encouraged Es to Forgive at the end of TASK and now she's like "yo your weak-ass needs to stop forgiving people."
But I do want to say, I'm surprised at the amount of people who are shocked Kotoko wanted to attack Amane. Like, we even had that one timeline conversation when she said she wouldn't treat Amane differently just because she's a child. I thought we had an universal understanding that the only reason Amane wasn't attacked is because of the Kazui ceasefire and John's time-wasting fight (and out of universe, because we can't have a character dying in T1). I guess I was wrong though. Anyways, Worst Girl enjoyers are rejoicing right now. Not gonna lie, this is making me like Kotoko more and more by the second. I don't know what that says about me.
Anyways, what do you think Kotoko's percentage will look like on the day the voting opens? Not her verdict since... well. Like, I was always expecting her to Guilty sweep, but what we have so far doesn't really help her. I would not be surprised if she ends up easily beating Muu as the widest Guilty margin. Hell, do you think it can beat Shidou as the most decisive verdict in general? I think it's unlikely, since Shidou got nearly 82% inno this trial which is insane. But honestly, unless Deep Cover MV does some insane leg-work, Kotoko might get more than 82% Guilty. I think it'd be funny.
Not like I'm gonna stop it. Sorry inno truthers, I highly respect your commitment to wolf girl and fully respect the decision, but I feel like Not Forgiving her this trial would be for the best. Still, I'm open to having my mind change when the MV drops. Take care!

Aaan today I dreamt with a tensimm space stress adventure.
They both were on this enormous ship, no TARDIS around btw. The ship contained all of the human race from Earth (the first Earth, this one) and they were trying to escape the end of our solar system as the sun was going to explode. (No Cassandra around this time)
However. Everyone spoke Russian except for Karvanista who was there, and the Doctor didn't know Russian for some reason. Since the TARDIS wasn't there there was no automatic translation so the Master had to translate everything because he definitely is a Russia fan we all know that- so apparently he learnt Russian at some point. They were there for about five days, until the spaceship was about to take off... BUT. The spaceship was operated by AI! And the AI was EVIL. Except it wasn't it was just programmed by someone evil who wanted the human race gone, and it was heavily implied this was the Master, but actually never confirmed. He certainly had a blast watching the Doctor panic and trying to override the controls so the ship could escape the solar system. And he succeeded! The AI wasn't happy about this. Everyone was safe now though...
...or so they thought. The AI started depleting the ship from oxygen, determined to murder the entirety of the human species. The Doctor tried to save the day by being smart and saying "hey but I'M A TIMELORD... And so is this one. Oh and that's a huge dog. We're not human, so you're killing non-humans! You can't do that" and the AI went "lol don't care colateral damage" so actually he just looked really dumb. He managed to bring back oxygen but the AI kept trying to do shit. Electrocuting people, opening gates to the vacuum of space and whatnot. One after the other the Doctor would solve those things so it was a constant sensation of danger!! safety. danger!!! safety. (Let me tell you I can feel my body exhausted after such loop) - Also people kept dying to all of this and the Doctor was eventually cut off from a big part of the ship so he didn't know hOW MANY PEOPLE were dying which drove him fucking insane meanwhile the Master was like lol why do u care let's save our own asses. (OUR... mind you. Plural.)
The Master was just watching and laughing at first but eventually realised this AI indeed would kill him too so he collaborated, I remember him on a spacesuit outside the spaceship trying to sabotage the AI or smth. Yelling at the Doctor for being stupid and whatnot. I think they communicated telepathically? The last step to finally ✨win✨ would be to disconnect it, but ofc it didn't make it easy. I woke up just when this was going to be decided 🥲
Oh and Karvanista asked the Doctor if "she had gotten surgery and cut her hair". And Kate was there too at some point. So that was two non-russian speaking people.

Heathers (1889)
my heathers obsession i think was what first got me into horror which quickly transformed into my gothic horror obsession so im honestly shocked i haven't made this earlier in the past 3 years.
Despite it being set in the 1980s, heathers literally has all of the gothic tropes and themes etc its so insane
Like!! The way the underlining theme is how young people's agency is repressed and how they aren't taken seriously and instead expected to obey their elders is literally the basis of Queen Victoria's beliefs. She and Reagan had SO MUCH IN COMMON. those facists are probaly fucking raw in the bottom layer of hell somewhere
ANYWAY the whole of the show/film really hits different if you think about it in the victorian era
I forgot to say: This version is absolutely set in England. Western society in America back then was more about themes of progress and such- although white people back their were just maintaining the same genocidal colonialist principals as the british (cuz they were), they thought they were being soooo cool and progressive which is thematically irrelevant to heathers
BACK TO THE TOPIC: in the musical most of the teen's emphasis in wanting to grow up. ie have autonomy vs Martha being accociated with childlike imagery- really emphasises the division between 'adults' and 'children' Victoria was so fond of
I don't actually know what age ppl were considered adults but i think Martha would wear more childish clothes like this- exept she would absolutely wear white representing her innocence
Tumblr media
In contrast, the other girls would wear women's clothes
Jason Dean's black trenchcoat translates really well to Victorian era fashion
Veronica's heatherified outfit would have a prominant bustle- a newer style
Tumblr media
In contrast Heather Chandler would wear a more traditional longer gown- like how she represents the older more bougeoise regime of Queen Victoria according to JD which needs to be destroyed
Speaking of which there are SO MANY parallels to heathers and picnic at hanging rock- (which is set 11 years later but whatever) JD is the rock
I do think Chandler's general vibe of the 'blonde popular girl who's doomed by the narrative' whose idolised after her death is 100% from Miranda btw
but also her position in the narritive reminds me of Mrs Appleyard
I think to make Heathers more gothic there has to be more of a clock motif than there already is
Also i can't belive i forgot to say this but the ideas of Madness and depression and shit. i can't spend all day writing these but they're There.
The one problem i have here is that schools in Victorian england were ABSOLUTELY not as diverse as schools in 80s america ie. ppl of different genders/class would never go to the same place

I have full executive authority to modify my text posts for another audience - to express the exact same sentiment but in words that the new audience will understand. To translate, if you will, from "broad and unknown Tumblr audience" who speak the Tumblr lingo and dialect and who could be literally anybody, to "close family with a humongous bunch of shared experience and similar language to talk about them," who share my worldview and understand what I'm saying without getting offended by a caveat I forgot to include or a specification or detail that I thought was unnecessary. (E.g. on Tumblr I might say "my friend X", but to family I'd just say "X")
Translation from one to the other, and vice versa, is necessary for both clarity and brevity. Different audiences require different approaches.
Tumblr audience might have sentences providing caveats or clarity or introduction to a concept that the family audience already knows or doesn't need. For brevity, I would cut those out, but I might also add sentences to help with transition or to aid in pacing of the ideas, concepts, or story. (This also goes for fic; is the fic for fans only or is it friendly to fandom-blind readers? Same story, told in slightly different words sometimes.)
But they are still my words and all those words remain as true as they were in the original form (assuming I didn't decide to lie to one group). In fact, if somebody had access to both versions (and understood both), they could see more of my mind, heart, and will than otherwise; for example, my willingness to even do such a thing as translating or providing two different versions. A family member who forgot my relation to X might be reassured by the label "friend" when describing her. (It might also mean a lot to the friend, if she read both accounts.) It always helps to see further caveats, examples, side notes, details, or even just different phrasing that I thought would help one group's perspective but wouldn't be too useful for the other unless they were doing a deeper study of my words, for whatever reason.
Now if I DID decide to lie, of course, you can't believe either version (or any new one I came up with), because now I'm a liar and you can't trust anything at all. But assuming I'm not a liar (and nobody has messed with my words, or it's not an outright faked screenshot or deep fake or whatever) - assuming I am truthful and you trust me (and/or my messenger), you can learn a lot from the differences of how I convey the same idea.
Between the two versions I might also do things like update typos or accidental occurrences of misgendering, clarify grammar, institute proper capitalization, and so on.
It makes me think of a post I saw once about the differences between Hunger Games books and movies; how the books tell a story of how awful war is to kids, and how awful the capitol is to make them have a love triangle to survive, and how awful it is for them to sit back and watch it as entertainment. And how the movies have us sit back and be entertained while children have a love triangle and fight each other. It seems like a classic case of "movies butchered the books," but the author was actually involved in and had quite some say in the production of the movie. Looking at them, they both together tell a more powerful story than otherwise. I'll see if I can find that post because it was a JOURNEY.
Anyway. The author has ultimate authority to translate their work to different audiences, with different emphases and details, whether the work is a Tumblr text post or an essay or verbally telling a friend what happened to me today.
Same goes for the Lord Jesus Christ, the word of God (John 1). (For one thing, translating God Himself into human form while preserving his divinity? Major translation skills there.)
The four gospels are an example of this; Matthew, for example, is addressed primarily to the Jews and includes many extra details, adding things like "BTW this was in fulfillment of XYZ prophecy" and including the genealogy through David and all like that. Luke is written by a Gentile to Gentiles, and tells similar stories but often with different details.
Only one gospel mentions that when Jesus fed the five thousand, it was at evening; only one mentions that it was a little boy who had the five loaves and two fishes; when Jesus asks a disciple what they're going to do, only one gospel mentions that Jesus said it "to try him."
John is far more focused on Jesus' divine nature, including many stories not included in the others. Different details, different emphases, different audiences, although ultimately, all four are available to us who have lived after the first century AD.
The gospels also show off another aspect of the author having final authority to translate while still being pure, truthful, and accurate: quotations from the Old Testament.
The OT was written in Hebrew. Jesus reads from a Greek translation and calls it Scripture. (I.e. equally as inspired as the original.) The apostles and writers of the New Testament often do likewise.
The same can be true of other translations as well. Translations into Latin, into German, into French, into Old English, into Early Modern English... God is the master of language. He created it, after all. Jesus is the word. All Scripture is inspired and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for instruction in righteousness...
But only the author has that authority. If I tell my sister one thing and she tells my friend something in anything other than my own words, it may still be true; but it's slightly less true than my own words. Hopefully, usually the difference is negligible, but in a contest, anything I've ever said or written on the topic is more accurate than what somebody else said.
Hence, if there's something strange about the story my sister tells, my friend would do well to take it with a grain of salt (or more than one, if she knows I have a bad relationship with my sister.) If not, this can pass from one to another like a game of telephone until it devolves into gossip that's wholly untrue, outright malicious, etc.
I and only I retain the right to point to two different versions of my words and say both are equally true. My sister can't say "her words and mine are equal" unless she was there, and even then, any differences would be down to her own different perspective (and level of honesty), not mine.
You never know when somebody might embellish a Bible translation. I hear Satan has quite the interest in perverting God's words (just see Genesis 3). Compare your translation carefully with both itself and others.
On that note, let me share some comparisons to get you started.

One of them has to be wrong. What do you think?

Omg the Colin thing in season 6 is the most irresponsible thing his and Logan's friend group did, and they actually jumped off of a cliff with no proper support or safety precautions! Maybe it's because I'm from another country so I know how disorienting a new place can be even with knowing the language in it but the fact that a) NONE of the guys in the group were like "uh guys maybe we need to leave the girl be in her own country", b) none of them thought of what they would possibly do with her once she was in a foreign country to her that's the size of half a continent, and c) they were all annoyed and inconsiderate of her when it was clear that she didn't speak the language and didn't even know how to navigate in such a big place, just tells me everything I need to know for how they really behave. Like people can go on and on about how fun the LDB is but the show gives us numerous examples (even within the revival) that they truly would put another person's safety or even their own in jeopardy if it meant "having a good time" in the rich people's sense. Even the club scene in AYITL is so obnoxious because it's just a bunch of grown men annoying other attendees in the dance place and then being all "I'm buying the place so that you people can't get a piece of it!", like genuinely what an asshole
No but seriously when you are or have been a foreigner what Colin did goes from being a dark joke to downright horrifying. Not only did he drag her over to a country where she doesn't know the language, he flew her across the globe. It's not like he took her over to London, where she could always grab a one-hour-ish flight or even a train (because yes you can do that in Europe), he took her across the Atlantic Ocean to a country with some serious border control (no Schengen in the US) and then expected her to what? Hang out? Apparently this girl is a milkmaid who only speaks Dutch (which btw stereotype much) so I'm guessing she doesn't have the resources to book a flight back home or the ability to get a translator who can help her do it. Call me dramatic, but in a much much darker show this could have been a trafficking storyline.
The whole situation just really points out how Colin and the LDB not only don't care about anyone but themselves but genuinely view other people as sources of entertainment that they can push around however they want until they get bored and just ignore them. Like, did Colin think to maybe arrange for her to get home safely? Did the thought of telling him to, or to not let him take her to the US in the first place, even occur to Logan and Finn?
And these are the same people who hold a public party celebrating Rory's felony. The same people who apparently steal boats themselves all the time, and so much more. The same people who claim that a meticulously organized bungee-jumping event in ball gowns is somehow closer to real life than anything in Rory's life. The problem isn't them being rich people who have fun. It's that their idea of fun is doing literal harm to other people through theft and manipulation and almost kidnapping, all the while ignoring the incredibly expensive and important degree they got into Yale to actually work on and waiting for their parents to bail them out of jails and pay their university to keep them on for yet another year and spit in the face of higher education again.

Decided to do a "live" commentary on a show I'm currently watching, so yeah Idk I guess I'll just write my unfiltered thoughts about Crash Landing on You starting with the end of episode 2.
She had depression and other mental health issues which explains why she acts so suicidal from time to time, for example when she acts really stupid, like the time she ran through a mine field, or when she displays a no-one-can-do-me-anything attitude whilst talking to the soldiers (because even if she is a spoiled rich girl and in shock, she is generally too smart to underestimate the situation) because she seems to not care that much whether she survives.
So I didn't expect that to evolve into a fake dating trope but I'm here for it. I mean we already had forced proximity and enemies to lovers so they didn't need to go so hard but they did anyways.
She really is going to girlboss her way through this crisis, isn't she?
Oh shit, the bad guy has a surveillance device?!
This guy really never saw curly hair like mine if he thinks hers is messy.
Okay update to epidode 5: Shit, the Major bad guy knows she wants to leave the country, the con artist bad guy knows she's in North Kroea and the real fiancé kinda knows about them?! How the hell are they supposed to get out of this mess?
The hair cut the fiancé's mum has in episode 6 is so feaking ugly, I can't.
"Oh fuck, not that bitch." I say as I smile and lean back to enjoy the drama that's about to ensue.
I don't know about you but I wanted her to be the one who shoots the attacker in episode 6.
Him speaking German (aka my native language) was just hilarious no matter how sad the scene was. Also damn, that Swiss guy couldn't be less sensitive when he told him his brother died. And why were the piano and his bags on that landing stage? I mean the pictures where nice but what's the logic behind that?
The thing about K dramas is that if they already kiss around the halfway point of the series, something bad is going to happen and make everything difficult...
Btw they really couldn't find an uglier hospital gown for him to wear.
Wow, the con man actually has a consciousness. And he actually gives the fiancé some solid love advice? I'm a little bit impressed, he's not as flat and one-dimensional as I initially thought.
Now, all of the antagonists know that she is a South Korean citizen, the angst this gives me is so bad.
It is physically not possible to hear a piano tune from that far away on a boat which's engine is on.
Idk using an ambulance for something personal feels very wrong.
The K drama obsessed guy translating the dialects will never not be funny. Btw I ship him with the K Pop girl.
She pushes him away to protect him, but she is hurting herself, him and me.
That one soldier is such a snitch, he is so lucky that the mum couldn't restrain her drinking.
I love how hearing that the main guys father is one of the mighty broke the brain of the queen bee.
This maybe a bit unhinged but when Se-ri says that the main guys dad looks like his fiancé and we've been told that her dad is dead I made up the insane theory that Dan could actually be the result of an affair. I don't think that's true but whatever.
His mum really just went "mother-in-law mode activated".
I want a scene where she is like "How can you say you're fine when you literally got shot, beaten and had fever in just the last few days?" And the parents giving each other the biggest wtf side eye ever.
As a booklover the bookshelf I love you kills me.
She really is that bitch that makes THE most dramatic entrance just to say "Guess what I'm back from the dead". A true girlboss.
The auntie squad found out who she really is. Idk their dynamic gets me.
WTF the end of episode 10 like what is going on?
Bro goes on a cave expedition and doesn't even have one of those forehead lamps? Poor planning and here I thought they were equipped better.
Finally he's got a decent haircut!
Okay but I actually ship the con man and Dan.
The auntie squad is being supportive and I love that, okay, let me fangirl, I somehow need that right now.
Their hugs mean much more to me than their kisses because they mean they're there for each other and comfort each other.
Did they really just kill the con man, I was so inversted in his love story with Dan!
Their goodbye at the border was a bit too melodramatic for my taste.
The ending is okay, I expected something like this but still it's sad that they can't have the future they dreamed about when they were drunk, the future where they marry and have children but I also don't want that to happen at the expense of their lives as they know them. So yeah the ending was the best compromise.

First off, I LOVE your head cannon where pike has assistive technology to promote his independence via speech. I LOVE how you utilize that new kind of technology that probably does exist in his time! So I was wondering when the Betazoid interpreter reads Pike’s thoughts out loud, does it sound like his voice? A natural voice? Or does it sound monotone like a machine?
Oh dear. I think somewhere along the lines in my synopsis post I lost you, and made you think the interpreter was a machine. It's actually a person! It's my OC, Stanna Dashi, the Betazoid
Tumblr media
You can read more about her here!
But your ask gives me an excuse to go on about the translation. Yeah, it would just sound like her own voice, though she tends to change noticeably when translating the Captain. Both because she's also conveying his tone and emotion, but also to differentiate from her own responses. After all, if he asks her a question, she has to say that question out loud and then answer it. Doing a different voice when she translates for him helps the others in the room to be able to tell who said what.
When no one else is around when they're talking, she can just answer his conversation without enunciating his thoughts, for the sake of convenience.
If Pike ever upgraded his chair with a speaking computer - something that would be perfectly possible, given we already have that technology in real life - I believe it would have a monotone cadence like the star trek computers tend to have. And it would probabbly take a little longer for him to write out the sentences as well. It would probabbly have to be through his eye movements, because at the time of TOS, brain-enhancing technology hadn't been developped yet. It's why I assume his wheelchair can't already speak for him just by reading his brain.
For that reason, an interpreter who can translate him in real time and portray his intonations would still be a good choice. But he could totally use both these tools of communication. In certain situations, a computer might be a little more convenient, and also, Dashi needs breaks too.
...wait did I just call my own oc a tool
Thank you for the ask and your interest in my AU!
Btw, maybe the problem was my own wording in the synopsis post. How coould I rephrase it to be less ambiguous? 😅

Barbara + Jean
Seeing Jean hanging out with her younger sister Barbara gives you a sense of relief, knowing Jean would always bury herself in her work. It's nice to see her relax and enjoying herself.
Shopping and trying out food is probably more of the sisters' thing, but they are open to playing the games available.
"Tada! I got some spicy dried fish for us. Hehe, I can't believe that they would have them here. I can already imagine how delectable it would taste!" Barbara said happily.
Unfortunately for you, you don't really like spicy food. But you're willing to try, just this one time. Who knows, maybe you'll start liking spicy food because of this?
"Here Y/n, you got to have the first bite. Open wide!" Barbara said feeding you the dried fish with a fork.
You hesitantly took a bite out of the fish and surprisingly it's actually quite nice.
"Well, what do you think? Was it tasty?" Barbara asked.
"I don't think Y/n would like it that much. You know that spicy food isn't really their thing," Jean said.
"No no, it tasted delicious. I'm actually surprised myself that I would like it more than I thought."
Eventually, your words backfired on you. After taking the sixth bite, you started to feel the spice stinging the back of your throat. Followed by your face turning as red as a tomato.
"Oh, Y/n are you alright? Would you like some more?" Barbara asked.
"No no no, I think they don't want any more. Y/n, stay there. I'll get something to cool you down," Jean said then she rushed to somewhere in the carnival grounds.
And there you are, running around like a crazy person while Jean looks around the carnival for something to cool you down.
Minutes later, Jean came back with a cup of coffee and a glass of (favorite flavor) milkshake. You immediatly snatched it out of her hands and chugged it all down.
"Slow down Y/n, you could choke yourself. Are you alright now?" Jean said while taking the empty glass from you.
"Yeah, let's not eat something like that ever again."
"Oh, I'm so sorry Y/n! I didn't know that you dislike spicy food," Barbara shrieked hysterically.
Bennett + Razor & Fischl
"Benny's Adventure Team assemble!"
You, Razor, Fischl and Bennett himself poses as Oz takes a photo of you four with Fischl's phone (Oz is a human here btw).
"Ahahaha, as expected. Your Excellency looked glorious in these photograph!" Fischl said as she looked through the photos Oz took.
"Of course, mein Fräulein. I will always try my best to satisfy your needs," Oz said, bowing down.
"Uhh, I don't get what's going on but... let's go win some games! Come on Razor!" Bennett said as he dragged Razor away, leaving you, Fischl and Oz behind.
"Hey! Ugh, how dare you leave us behind! After them!"
After walking around the carnival for a while, you spotted Bennett and Razor sitting down on a bench while munching on a turkey leg.
"Oh hey, over here! I got you guys a turkey leg, I share mine with Razor. I don't really know how to eat it but, seems like Razor's enjoying it," Bennett said while pointing at Razor.
"Yes. Turkey meat, good..." Razor said briefly.
"How do you expect a lady such a oneself to gorge down on a turkey leg in such unsightly manner?" Fischl exclaimed.
"Calm yourself down, mein Fräulein."
"Aww, then here. You can have it, Y/n. Looks like Fischl doesn't want to eat it," Bennett said sadly as he gives you the turkey leg.
"W-wait! Y-young man, you seem to misundertood one's true intention...! What I meant was--"
Misunderstanding seems to be a common case for your group, due to Fischl's 'unique' way of speaking. Luckily, her butler Oz is here as your translator.
When playing the games available, Fischl probably went with any game that require shooting. She actually won a small black and purple dragon from it rawr
"Ahaha, as expected from yours truly. For you my little friend, your color scheme matches one's aesthetic," Fischl said, probably talking to the stuffed animal.
Razor would probably just stay back and watch, but he'll join in time to time.
As for Bennett, well his bad luck always seem to catch up to him. Either the mechanism somehow broke or he manages to hurt himself somehow.
You decided to play the game where you throw the ball into containers that floats on water (excuse my horrible explanation but you get what I mean). You each take turns to throw the ball and Bennett went last.
"Guys, I don't think I would win anything. My first few attempts didn't went so well," Bennett said as he scratches the back of his head.
"It's alright Bennett, at least you tried your best!"
"Yes, Razor trust you."
"Alright then, here goes nothing," Bennett said, looking away as he threw the ball randomly.
And guess what happened, it actually fell into a container with a large prize. Immediatly, Bennett grew confused when he heard you clapping and cheering.
"Bennett, you did it! You won a large prize!"
"My words, you've truly impressed me young man."
"Bennett did good. Razor proud."
You ended up parading around the carnival showing off Bennett's accomplishment. And of course, Oz took a photo of you all holding the prize :)

Mark Forster's role in the Ace Attorney franchise
Okay, first off:
I'm not a fan of Mark Forster's music, please don't take this post the wrong way
There might be some aa trilogy spoilers
Also, I admit this title is pretty bold for what I'm going to say on this topic, but I watch The Voice of Germany with my sister every week and one of the coaches is Mark Forster who I only know like five songs of in total, but his song "Au Revoir" (which is actually a terrible song btw. It's so catchy, I've had it stuck in my head since I woke up this morning and it ruined my day.) kind of reminded me of the whole "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death." thing, because the only thing I knew about this song was the refrain:
Tumblr media
which would be roughly translated to:
"There is nothing that's holding me back, au revoir / Forget who I was / Forget my name / It will never be the way it was before / I'm off / Au revoir"
But as I looked further into the lyrics I found out there is a "rap part" which tells you about the places the lyrical I will go to when they're away and it contains a passage that adds a beautiful twist to my theory/headcanon (I'm not sure what to call this yet).
Tumblr media
"I'm sitting on the Mayan throne in the jungle / [...] / The phoenix is taking off now"
You see where I'm going with this? I know, it's not Phoenix who's leaving and I know the lyrics refer to the Maya Civilization from Mesoamerica, but I thought it was a funny coincidence, that not only does the word "Phoenix" appear in the lyrics of this song, but so does "Maya".
So when I first saw this part of "Au Revoir", I started imagining how Miles Edgeworth would listen to this song and like dramatically sing along to it and start crying or something, but this only posed another question:
How could this scenario happen? How and why would he even come in contact with this song?
My first guess was, Miles probably went to Germany after he left his note, because he grew up there (I think), when he had been adopted by Manfred von Karma as a child, and he heard the song somewhere in the radio because in Germany they blast Mark Forster's music in almost every public space, so there is no escape from it ever. I tried to find out, during which timespan Miles left America, just to make sure if there was a chance that he actually could have heard it on the radio.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the Ace Attorney wiki this timespan isn't clearly mentioned, but since the last case (Rise from the Ashes) from the first game is set in February 2017 and Edgeworth returns to America in March 2018 I'm guessing, this is exactly the time window in which he's in Germany* (minus some days/weeks of course, because I don't think he'd just leave on the exact same day he had his last trial in America). *to make this easier for me I'm just assuming he spends the entirety of his travels in Germany
But this brings me to my problem, the German Charts of 2017/2018.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you can see, the only songs by Mark Forster that were in the charts while Miles would be in Germany are the ones above. This means that it is highly unlikely that he knew of "Au Revoir" from the radio, because why would they play this old song if they could also play Mark Forster's more recent songs that are popular right now?
But when exactly was "Au Revoir" popular enough to be in the German Charts?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
During my research I looked up these years, too, and it came down to 2014 (the year "Au Revoir" was released) and even a year later in 2015. So there is no way he could have known of this song if his most recent stay in Germany was in 2017, right? (I mean, unless the German people he met then, had literally no taste and forced him to listen to it.)
But I have a pretty simple and logical explanation on how he could have still known of this song, even though he probably wouldn't have heard it in Germany in 2017.
I tried really hard, but I couldn't for my life find real data on Mark Forster's demographic, so just believe me if I tell you that his demographic is mostly preteen and teenage girls. Also, it's worth mentioning that Mark Forster's music is pretty much only known in German speaking countries like Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Now, let's take a closer look at the years, in which Au Revoir was most popular: 2014 and 2015
Who could Miles Edgeworth possibly know, who in 2014/2015 is 1. German, 2. a teenager and 3. a girl? The answer is quite obvious:
Tumblr media
His younger sister Franziska von Karma.
Considering that she was either 14 or 15 when "Au Revoir" was released, she fits Mark Forster's demographic perfectly and although I'm not 100% sure if she was in Germany then, I still believe, she must have had at least some connection to Germany in some way, maybe a German friend who she still was in contact with or maybe she had access to German tv, maybe German YouTube channels or social media. And don't get me wrong, I love Franziska von Karma and I wouldn't wish anything bad on her, but at the same time I strongly believe that she'd be the kind of girl who'd have gone through a Mark Forster phase as a teen.
Now remember that I, myself, have a sister. I know what siblings do to annoy each other and I just know from the bottom of my heart that if Franziska really was a fan of Mark Forster's music, she would blast it on any opportunity she'd get. Or she would at least talk about him and his songs with her brother. Believe me. If Franziska really listened to Mark Forster, Miles would have known of him, too. There is literally no other way. (For reference, I know every 1D member's name, birthday and relationship status, although I literally do not care about any of them at all, only because my sister is obsessed with them and talks about them 24/7. Meanwhile the only MCR member I know, is Gerard Way, even though I listen to their music on the daily.)
So here is my conclusion.
Miles Edgeworth definitely listened to "Au Revoir" by Mark Forster on the plane from Japanifornia to Germany and he also definitely cried, after he made sure nobody could see him (especially during the part "Der Phönix macht jetz 'n Abflug"/"The phoenix is taking off now"). Also, he probably listened to the song multiple times during his stay in Germany and you literally can't prove me wrong on this. I mean you could try, but I invested way too much of my time in this to actually care about another person's opinion on my shitty headcanon.
Also, the moment Franziska met Phoenix and Maya, her memories vaulted her right back to her Mark Forster phase and her hatred against Phoenix wasn't solely based on the fact that he was accountable for the conviction of her father Manfred von Karma, her hatred was also ignited by the fact that she probably had "Au Revoir" stuck in her head because of these two for the rest of the day and I just know that this must have completely ruined it for her.
Also, unrelated to anything I've said prior:
Klavier Gavin would definitely collaborate with Mark Forster on at least one song and however severe Franziska's Mark Forster phase might have been, I am convinced Klavier would have outdone her by far. I haven't played AJAA yet, but as much as I've gathered from the fandom, he's like a weeaboo but with Germany, I think? I'm absolutely sure, he wouldn't ever miss a chance like this.
Finally, here is the song this whole post is about:

A list of my MANY Draco Headcannons
Draco had an older sister who died a few weeks to a month before his first hear
His sister gave her life to save him, had she not done so, he would've been ran over. He watched her die in the hospital, after a few weeks of being in a ventilator (his father making them take her off of it), meaning he can see Thestrals.
He's bisexual and GNC (No! N O T Nonbinary. He's gender nonconforming, meaning he doesn't conform to gender roles), and is supportive of trans people, he has a younger cousin (the youngest of all his cousins) who is Trans (MtF) and woukd protect that girl with his life.
He finds Harry hot, and is jealous of him, but would not date him because he also hates him.
He can speak MULTIPLE languages, and is fluent in Japanese, he can speak conversational Japanese and can translate advanced slang. He can translate MASA songs, that tells you everything.
He has 3 different accents, he was born in Scotland grew up there for a time, then moved to Australia as a child, and then to Britain so he can do a Scottish, Australian and British accent. However, he cannot so an American accent and hates even attempting it.
He has a lot of exotic pets, a lot of tarantulas, snakes, even a few scorpions. He also has a dog, cat and horses. Of course he'd have horses, my mans he is filthy rich.
We're setting my headcannons in modern day setting, meaning like 2000s era, because it makes my life easier. With that said, as much as he makes himself out to hate all things muggle related, secretly he doesn't hate muggle things, he enjoys them but pretends he hates them because his father forces him to. He has a YouTube channel is amazing at using UTAU, Vocaloid, and other VSynths, he also works on his own VSynth and his own UTAU banks, he also is good at MMD.
If anyone dares misgender a trans person especially a trans person that is his family or friend, he will start a war
His mom is supportive of him and is the better parent. Draco favorites his mom over his dad
Megurien Luka is best girl to him and he would absolutely marry her if able to
When in around 3th year, some Icelandic kids asked him to help them start a language club, for those who wanted to learn languages, etc, because he knew the most languages, he agreed.
He's definitely had his fair share of boyfriends
Even though his father doesn't approve, he says fuck it down with approval
He more than likely finds Lil Nas X a little hot, same with CoryxKenshin and MacDoesIt, even if his gay cousin disagrees. I said what I said.
His first crush was a guy, back when he was about 9 to 10. That crush was his best friend as well, and a muggle at that. Unfortunately, the boy (who was also around his age), died of cancer. The boy was technically his first kiss. While in the hospital, the boy wanted to kiss a boy before he died, because that boy DEFINITELY knew he didn't like girls, Draco carried that for him. I made it sad didn't I?
His older sisters name was Alice
His cousins names, Oldest to Youngest, are Dominic, Darla, Demi and Jamie. Dominic is Gay, Darla is a Lesbian, Demi is Ace, and Jamie is a trans girl. Dominic and Darla are twins
Narcissa is SCARY when mad, and Draco is more likely to listen to her over Lucius
Draco loves playing Apex Legends-
He can speak Scots
This mans goes to Japan like every summer, he has some Japanese friends there, and goes to see Magical Mirai and NicoNicoCho Parties-
He likes playing VR Chat and often talks to the Japanese players, but also the French and Spanish players
He's trying to learn Chinese but is very butchered in the language
Since Hermione is a muggle, she definitely plays the game, and Draco has seen her in there over 100 times, and is often times speaking in Japanese when that happens so she never realizes.
He likes to insult her in game in various languages
This bitch made a freaking VTuber model you can't change my mind
He's good at math, and learned from his sisters friend Rowan (MAY OR MAY NOT be a reference to Hogwarts Mystery-)
He's Bipolar, has a hell of a lot of trauma, suffers from depression and has ADHD
He HAS been put in a mental facility quite a few times, and has tried to kill Lucius in his sleep
He has sleep paralysis
He definitely finds Blaise Zabini hot
He is unable to be canceled, he comes back from the grave
He hates Ron because, unlike Draco, Ron actually has siblings still (minus I think.. Fred dying, but Draco couod sympathize with George on that feeling), he's jealous if Ron because he still has his brothers and sister
My mans hates his dad so much holy crap
I plays a LOT of Project Diva and can complete a lot of songs on EXTREME and EXEXTREME mode
Common World Domination- he likes that song
His theme song(s): Rolling Girl, My Immortal, Unhappy Refrain, Unknown Mother Goose, Two-Faced Lovers, The Lost Ones Weeping, Futaride (The Two Of Us), World Is Mine
He loves Weekender Girl, Sadistic.Music♾Factory, and This Is The Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee
He definitely knows all the English Lyrics for This Is The Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee
He really wants to have like a Miku Expo or Magical Mirai esque show in Higwarts with nothing but the banks he has and holograms of them. Please just let him have holograms of the UTAU, VOCALOID, and SynthV Voicebanks he has- let this man's have a concert
Fuck you. Un-Dracos your Draco-
He absolutely goes to Pride and wants Hogwarts to have a Pride Month type of thing
He's a whole Atheist
I may or may not be projecting onto him
He's good at horse back riding
He plays piano
He for a while thought he was trans but just realized he's just GNC lol
We hate JK Rowling in this household
Tumblr media
The Draco picture belongs to Anyeka, I just added the Bi pin and the background...
That's my lockscreen btw-

Hi happy new year to you babe!!! Hope you had a fun time celebrating the new year, cuz I can't lmao. I dunno if someone already asked you this or if this is a spoiler or something (you don't have to answer this btw). But if I may ask, (1) would there be a mafia fic soon? (no pressure tho, just curious). (2) is the obsession of the boys already at its peak or nah? and if nah, would we see how worse they can get? (3) (if this makes you uncomfortable, I am sorry and please ignore this) as someone who is self-aware that I have a very shitty coping mechanism, the household bunny really speak to me and it kinda is my comfort fic, I just wanna know how the boys would react if the mc just shut down? Like for me, it's hard to speak my thoughts out loud because I am self-aware how others might see my thoughts as me trying to gain sympathy or that I'm just making it worse than it actually is or that I might influence their way of thinking and make them think like how I think (which is not good), so yeah I wanna know how the boys deal with it. (4) would Jungyoon, the mc, and the boys be in the same room in some point in time? I really wanna make Jungyoon feel really uncomfortable lmao.
Sorry if I'm just dumping this here. Again, you don't need to answer any of this as this may be triggering, but thank you for writing really. It helps me.
Happy super late new year to you bb!! I will answer the questions as best as I can without spoiling!
1.) Yes... I hope. I have almost 9k of the next mafia one written... and they haven't even kissed yet lmao, so this one will be a doozy but I hope to get it out the moment I finish!
2.) I am assuming this question applies to the household boys (if i'm wrong pls tell me and I'll answer it again!) Buuuut I would say none of em have reached their peak, Jungkook might be the closest to it? But yes we will see how the closer they get to her, the more they realize how precious she is to them, and they're all insane (not as insane as the mafia boys but still) so that will translate into some yandere-ness, nothing too crazy ofc but still crazy lmao
3.) (I'm so glad my fic is a comfort fic, this is a huge compliment don't worry!) Also the coping mechanism I believe you're referring to is the "freeze" response? *pushes up glasses in psych bachelor's degree* i'm jk i know this bc i read a lot and went to therapy lmao But the guys would freak out, not at her or in front of her ofc. THe only ones who would understand what's going on would be Jin, Namjoon, and maaaaybe Hoseok. Jin is a doctor, so he had to have taken some psychology classes in school and Namjoon is an educated fellow who reads a lot. Namjoon would take the more direct approach of sitting next to her, not too close, and talking, asking her questions, but not getting irritated if she didn't respond right away, he gets that she'll respond if she's ready but he would ask questions like "What color do you think that flower is? I say it's more pink than purple, but I don't know?" as a (not-so-sly) means to ground her. Jin would probably ask if he could hold her and if she says yes, he'd hug her, maybe sway a bit, as he reassures her softly.
I could go on for days about the four f's in trauma responses, both as someone with CPTSD and someone who somehow got a degree in psychology, but I'll just let you know that dealing with life is hard, and not everyone is going to understand how you deal with it, but that doesn't make you any less brave for doing so! Whatever people project onto your neutral actions is not your problem, no matter how much they try to make you feel like it is!
4.) ...yes >:) I won't say when, but I greatly look forward to writing it/sharing it with y'all. His discomfort fuels me.
Also don't worry bb! It's lovely to use all my psych knowledge on something, makes the degree and books feel like a worthy investment! I'm no licensed professional by any means but I like helping in whatever quirky way I can! Thank you for being so wonderful and thank you for entrusting me with this ask!
