Dear Mr. Edgeworth,
I recall from one of your previous postings that you are particularly fond of cats, and am interested in your opinions on other animals commonly kept for human companionship. What are your thoughts on dogs? Horses? Rodents? Birds and reptiles?
I would assume that last one would have interesting twofold connotations given your status as a law student, due to these creatures' association with the legal profession - the epithet of "legal eagle" on the positive side, and all the jokes about snakes and crocodilians' show of professional courtesy on the negative. As an enthusiast of all things reptile related, I feel it is a reputation undeserved by these misunderstood, scaly creatures... as well as those aspiring to take on careers in law, very important for society...
But I digress. Lastly, I would also take it that, for rather obvious reasons, you don't really like fish, the way they remind you of a certain someone...
Regards, Seraphine. Again, may you excel in your studies, and no slanderous jokes come your way.
Dear Ms Seraphine,
Thank you for the kind words and inspiring thoughts.
Despite, as you noted correctly, being fascinated by cats, I am not that fond of most domestic animals, and my liking for cats is simply an amusing exception. However, there are still some species that I could call charming and interesting in ways different from keeping them as pets.
The first animal that came to mind was a graceful black panther. Ever since I was a kid, I thought of panthers as majestic, powerful guardians, trustworthy leaders, and dangerous vigilantes. They might not represent justice in the traditional sense of court cases and hour-long debates, but if one crosses their road, they should be wary of seeing their eyes shine in the dark when the night falls.
On the other hand, I could never resist swift, elegant antelopes' beauty. As someone who has always strived for success and improvement, their efortless endurance and resilience resonated with me; antelopes are in a constant state of action, awareness, and searching for new paths, opportunities. For me, they are a symbol of motivation and energy.
As my final point, I would like to mention swans. Even though they are often depicted as an embodiment of love, from swan figurines being placed on wedding cakes to towel swans on hotel beds, these birds have always struck me as an exquisite representation of change. On another note, the concept of a swan song has captivated me ever since I learned what the expression meant. It is impossible to deny that I spent hours considering what my swan song could possibly be, and to tell the truth, I still think about it from time to time.
Unfortunately, I do not have a strong stance on reptiles. They are the most beautiful when admired from afar, and their quiet deadliness amazes me; snakes in particular have been painted as villains since the beginning of time, so despite me condemning the demonization of reptiles, I understand why people have those... preconcieved notions about them.
Keeping rodents and other smaller animals as pets does not make much sense to me. For me, it would be impossible to love something that is barely capable of communicating its needs. These fluff balls always seemed closer to decor than to actual companions.
As for fish, I would not say that a certain someone you mentioned has enough influence over me to make me actively dislike fish. Marine species look magnificent in acquariums when the interior is done right, and personally, I do not mind fish... served with a tasteful side dish, that is.
Best regards,
Vincent Edgeworth

For the wip game: edgeworth u stupid stupid bitch 👀
Tumblr media
also answering @mutxnts and @plague-agent !
SLIGHT AA5 SPOILERS AHEAD
Okay, so. I played aa5, and it was...alright. And then i was really excited for the last case, because edgeworth is in it. And theres so much GOOD NRMT CONTENT. There's a whole thing where miles and phoenix have an interaction if you present phoenix's badge to miles...its so. god its so good. it implies miles wanted to help more but PHOENIX wouldnt let him....i eat that up
Anyways. In the actual case though, edgeworth says something that...i don't vibe with, and I actually quite think is ooc for him. Like yes, he can be a bitch, thats who he IS but like. this was too far imo? I don't remember it verbatim btu basically at the beginning of the case, edgeworth remarks that phoenix hasnt changed at all, even in the last 8 years. And then LATER when phoenix was just STILL BELIEVING IN THE DEFENDANT (which is , his trademark thing) edgeworth says "I say you never change, but is it possible you regressed in these past years?" or some shit like that, and to me, thats an absolute no go. Like, yeah, totally bring up the most depressing years in phoenix's life, and say that he REGRESSED IN SKILL. (sarcasm)
Anyways, even though i just think its bad and inconsistent writing, i decided to write a fic about it. Basically, i explain it as like. Imagine a puppy that's playing, and gets too excited and gets too rough, and actually hurts either a person or another dog. Its like that. Edgeworth was in *my beloved is back in the courtroom PLAY PLAY ARGUE ARGUE* and accidentally went too far. He doesn't even realize what exactly he said, just that phoenix has been acting...very odd and standoffish. And on phoenix's side, i planned him to obsess over edgeworth's words and even have a nightmare that starts with what edgeworth said to him, and he morphs into kristoph >:) but yeah thats edgeworth u stupid stupid bitch!

Who Ace Attorney Characters Would Romance In BG3 (Warning: Spoilers for all acts.)
We're starting with Klav bc I thought of him first. Klav would not romance Astarion. He thinks Astarion is annoying bc he and Astarion have too much in common in an uncomfortable way and he does not want to examine those things about himself. Lae'zel would remind him of Apollo so do with that what you will. I think he'd def be a Shadowheart girlie, she's got his vibe and he can save her from herself. I think he would threesome with Halsin on a Shadowheart run, he is very attracted to Halsin, tell me I'm wrong. A calming chill guy who is hot and fucks nasty? Sign him up. I think he would like Wyll, he'd find Wyll refreshing as a genuinely nice guy who doesn't want anything from him and they are both romantics. He didn't even know Minthara or Mizora were romanceable/bangable bc he always plays good runs. Karlach. Yes. I think he has a 50/50 of trying for Gale bc I think Gale might remind him of his brother a bit, but if he misses any of those possible connections I think he would have fun with Gale.
As a side note for Apollo, he is constantly getting asked out by the ones he's not trying to romance or is accidentally starting something with someone he didn't mean to and is having a mess of a time. Karlach's immediate wanting to ride him line freaks him out, he never romances her. The 'we just met' option was put in the game specifically for Apollo Justice. Lae'zel's boldness also weirds him out but I think he would try it once before abandoning the run or reloading a save. He likes Shadowheart. He does a Shadowheart run. Astarion is not his type, he does get to the bottom of Astarion's character and appreciates him as a character, but he is not romancing him. He does try an evil run bc he gets fed up with helping everyone all the time and I think he would actually like Minthara. He doesn't go for Mizora when she asks, though. Halsin is a little too horny for him, I think. He likes Wyll, though. Wyll would be a fantastic option for him. I think Gale would annoy him.
Maya Fey, my beloved. Wyll is the only guy she'll do a romance with, but she would do a threesome with Halsin. She does one with each of the girlies including Minty. I think Karlach's story (minus the ending) would be her favorite, I think she might relate a little too much with Shart and Lae. She also does the scene with Mizora before reloading a save.
Look, do I think Miles Edgeworth is playing bg3? No. But if he did... He is so into Halsin. He does the bear sex scene. He is blushing the whole time but he's so into it. He tries Wyll bc what's on the label sounds fantastic, but he finds that romancing Wyll just doesn't excite him in the necessary ways. He doesn't try anyone else.
Franziska is pretending she video games are beneath her but she wants to know what everyone is talking about even if she refuses to engage and so she plays in secret, usually in the middle of the night and she does a Shadowheart run bc Shadowheart propositioned her first and as she goes through her story she is just constantly bawling her eyes out, vowing to save and protect Shadowheart. She thinks Astarion is a bitch, Gale is annoying, Wyll is boring, and Halsin is too horny. She might also just be denying the fact that she's not attracted to men. I don't think she does a Karlach run, but she does go through Karlach's story every time so that Karlach can get her heart fixed. She likes that Lae'zel knows what she wants and goes for it, but I'm not sure if she would do a dedicated run. If she does, she also starts bawling her eyes out as she goes through the story. I also think she only ever has the girls in her party until she hits a lock she can't get open. She's playing a paladin btw.
Phoenix Wright. Finally someone who is down for Gale. Tbh his savior complex makes him do a run with each of the main six. I think Shadowheart and Astarion hit him the hardest, but Karlach's endings make him quit the game for a while. He also does Halsin threesome.
Ema is 100% down for Karlach. She likes the other characters (mostly), but she is a Karlach girlie through and through. I think she reclasses Karlach to rogue, though, so she doesn't have to have Astarion in the party. She has Lae'zel there to be the big hitter and I think Wyll would be in her party as well. I think she would be a Lae'zel over Shadowheart kind of person. She is SUPER into the evil run, though and it hurts so bad that she can't have Karlach in her party. On her evil run she takes Lae'zel, Shadowheart, and Astarion until she can pick up Minthara and reclass her to rogue. She doesn't absolutely despise Astarion, hater recognizes hater, but he reminds her of the fop, which is a bonus bc when she tells Klav this he gets huffy about it. On her evil run she does romance Minty.
Kristoph Gavin cannot play bg3 bc he's on death row, everyone point and laugh.
Simon is also a Shadowheart girlie. She's mean and goth when you meet her and stays that way even as she becomes a better person. He's into that. He does not romance Astarion, but he always makes sure to absolutely annihilate Cazador. As a side not he also always does the House of Hope. He likes Wyll, he likes how uncomplicated everything is (compared to the other main 5), he would do a Wyll run, but he would still let Duke Ravenguard get blown up. Athena is side eyeing him for that one. He also does not romance Gale, but he doesn't let Gale blow up, either. I don't think he romances Lae'zel or Karlach, but he does see their stories through to completion. He lets Karlach turn into a mind flayer when she offers. He says he's doing an evil run to seem edgy but then Apollo starts talking to him about things that only happen in an evil run and he starts sweating bc he actually did not do that. So he just says actually he's doing a solo run and he's killed everyone possible and Apollo doesn't believe him and forms wild incorrect theories.
Athena is super into Karlach. She basically only does Karlach runs. She thinks Astarion is funny so she always has him in the party (plus locks). Her last party spot is up for grabs depending on what she's doing. She actually brings each of them out to their story locations instead of doing stuff and telling them after.
Am I suggesting that Maya channeling Mia so she could play a video game makes any sort of sense? No. But assuming she did, Mia does a run romancing each of them. She is super into the poly relationships and threesomes bc I hc her as polyamorous and this is my post. I think she would start an evil run just to see and then be so shocked by what Minthara's character is like (in a good way) that she decides to transition into a good playthrough so Minty can see what it's like to be good. She also does the Mizora scene before reloading a save.
Ok, in the same year Athena is playing bc they are the same age, Pearl decides to try it. She goes for Wyll first bc he's a romantic and is everything she thinks she wants. This is when she realizes she's into women. Shadowheart is the female companion you actually get to be romantic with from the start (Pearl is still a romantic), so she tries that and wow. Yuri.
They do not have bg3 in Khura'in, but they do have planes, so when Nahyuta is in the states they play. They are into Lae'zel and Shadowheart equally, actually, and romancing them is very therapeutic. He tries Wyll for the heck of it, but he's too nice, Astarion is too much of a project, and Gale is... Well Gale is really fun to make fun of, so even though they do a Gale run, they're making fun of him the whole time. They are besties with Karlach. They like Halsin's character but are not interested, and they can't bring themselves to attack the druid's grove and the tieflings so no Minty.
This is not an exhaustive list! lmk if there are other characters you'd like my opinions on! I love having opinions!

in reply to your recent post about the pirate au asks: i mean, what is there to say except for "tell us everything"? you mentioned coming up with a storyline in the tags, so im obviously wondering about how the characters met, esp phoenix and miles and phoenix and maya. also, the angst?? did you implement the dl-6 incident/disbarment/any other canon angst into this somehow? so yeah, whatever you can tell us, i'm happy with it. also my god is your art good, i'm endlessly fascinated by the sketches
hehe well EVERYTHING is definitely a lot to tell but i can answer specific things like how miles and phoenix meet (and meet. and meet again) and the beginning of phoenix and maya's friendship, but half the credit also goes to my beloved wonderful friend @/rendevok for allowing me to scream in her dms ^^
so! maya and phoenix :) they meet after the disaster that is the Hawthorne affair, where dahlia accuses phoenix of murdering another man, and he's saved by the wits of one mia fey, a clever blacksmith who's looking for a way to restore her family name after... less than pleasant events in the past. she later takes on phoenix as an apprentice, bc no one else would want to deal with a commoner who's made an enemy of nobles, even if they were at fault in the end, bc the social game is dangerous
obviously, mia's efforts end about as well as they do for her in canon, and she's murdered for her snooping. phoenix then meets maya, and after helping her keep the family smith in the aftermath of the suspicions over her sister's death, they both get into shenanigans over the next couple of years, out of their incessant need to help, and their talent of literally not being able to stay out of the center of attention (unintentionally), maya is essentially phoenix's partner in arms, all through the days of the smith, up until they're forced to skip town on a stolen ship with one trucy and one pearl in tow
miles and phoenix are far more complicated than they ever need to be, but that's like, half the fun yk? they've vaguely met when they were kids, and miles obviously still inspired phoenix's general moral code. But, gregory still dies, miles is still taken in by the von karmas and all of a sudden he's just a ghost in phoenix's memory.
fast-forward years later, and miles has definitely heard phoenix's name around, especially since the mia's death. how phoenix makes a habit of taking on strays and giving them the help they need to not end up alone, and his sheer blind faith in people, and it's almost too uncomfortably close to home for miles. still, he somehow manages to actually meet phoenix! a very limited number of times though.
Miles still has a high position as an advocate, and phoenix still is only a very busy blacksmith, and travel isn't as fast as it is in the modern day. But nevertheless, phoenix's words and conversations do enough to spark the need to truly understand what went on during his father's death, it's just only unfortunate that he decides to go about it on his own (but like. Think him solving this mystery with the help of his aai buddies so he's not completely alone :))
He still leaves, and phoenix watches him go, and as happy as he is that miles is trying to figure these things out, he wishes he could help, or make him stay. what's worse is that the world's worst game of telephone ensues and now phoenix hears news of the "miles edgeworth chooses death" bit, so fun times for everyone orz
but then the gramarye affair occurs, and all of a sudden there's a bounty on phoenix's life for hiding a murderer and possessing (faked) evidence linking him to it all. it's not a situation he can talk himself out of, so he runs with his family in tow and disappears onto the sea. And miles isn't there.
So his canon disbarment era is essentially his piracy era, and the changes are obvious. He's more jaded and cynical, and painfully efficient to a fault. You wouldn't be able to recognise the humble blacksmith anywhere in those eyes, and he knows it. whatever was left of him was buried onshore before they set sail, and he hasn't looked back since.
Miles only hears brief hearsay about the events of the gramarye affair and he's absolutely stunned because there is no way the phoenix he remembers could ever be the same as the criminal they're describing who's disappeared, but it's been long enough that he hesitates at the thought of searching for the man himself, he's not sure his presence would be warmly received either. However he doesn't have to wonder anymore, bc his latest voyage is interrupted by a pirates ambush, and it's led by the ghost of a man he never thought he'd see again.
From then on its only a matter of miles being taken as hostage, and as a bargain, receiving phoenix's word that if miles can beat the captain at a duel, he'll let him off scot free. But obviously it can't be that easy, where else would 90% of the tension in the story come from then?
and that's pretty much part of the set up for the au hehe, i wrote a whole heck of a lot and i hope you enjoy reading it holy hell fnkskf
also thank you so much!!! I'm very glad you enjoy my crazed doodles of this au it means a lot to me :3 💖

Phoenix Wright sits dejected behind the glass of the detention center visitor’s room, under the watchful eye of the guard and the security camera. At least his beloved Dahlia is safe, but somehow it doesn’t feel so much like a victory.
“How could you get him found Guilty?” a loud, angry voice echoes from outside the door on the other side of the glass. “You were against Payne, of all people!”
“I didn’t see you jumping to help! If not for your ‘victory at all costs’ maybe we could have caught her before any of this ever happened!” The second voice, Phoenix recognizes as his passionate, young lawyer, Mia Fey.
She strides into the visitor’s room, followed by the last person Phoenix expected to see.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Wright-” she begins.
Phoenix doesn’t give her the chance to finish, leaping to his feet with a grin. “Miles! What are you doing here? I thought-”
Immediately, the police officer moves to restrain him, but Miles waves the officer down.
“Miles?” Mia says dubiously, glancing between Phoenix and the friend he thought he might never see again.
However, Miles won’t meet his eyes. He looks away, the confident public facade of the ‘demon prosecutor’ gone, so anyone could see the pained young man underneath.
“I’m taking over your defense from this incompetent rookie,” Miles declares, though he doesn’t sound very pleased about it.
“Hold it! She believed in me and fought for me until the end,” Phoenix protests. “It’s really my fault…”
“Yeah, if Mr. Wright hadn’t eaten the key piece of evidence-” Mia catches herself arguing and takes a step back. “Mr. Edgeworth, aren’t you a prosecutor, anyway?”
“It doesn’t matter, I can’t risk you failing again in the appeal,” Miles says, simultaneously heartening and discouraging.
“Why do you care so much about Mr. Wright anway? I thought all you cared about was putting people away, guilty or not.”
Miles turns away again, but Phoenix jumps to his defense. “I can’t believe that! Everyone may think you’re the demon prosecutor, but it’s because of you that I’m studying to be a defense attorney! Or was, anyway…”
Miles scoffs. “See where your foolish naivety has gotten you? Now you’ll see first hand what it really means to be a lawyer.”
Phoenix braces himself to stand up to the boy - now a man - that he always admired so much. “I appreciate it, Miles, but Mia is my lawyer. If you want to help, then you’ll have to work with her.”
“Wait a minute!” Mia tries to protest.
But Miles answers sharply and definitively, “Fine.”

w[h]ip wednesday
day 5 sicktember! if you can believe it franziska's not the sickie in this one. hehehehehe
“Hey,” Maya says, finally finding the will to stride forward, one hand balanced on her hip. “When was the last time you actually got some rest?”
Franziska doesn’t acknowledge her. Which is likely an answer in itself. 
Holy shit.
“Franziska!” She raises her voice. “Hey, earth to the prosecution, do you read me?”
She punctuates the statement with a few hurried snaps of her fingers. This sound, for whatever reason, is what jolts Franziska back into her body—she blinks herself awake, pulling her eyes away from her screen and back up to Maya. Only when her face is angled upward does Maya see just how bruiselike the bags under her eyes are—it’d looked like a trick of the lighting, but…
“Babe, you haven’t left this room in…” she eyes the analog clock on the far wall, “twelve hours?! Are you coming to bed, or should I just take my little bindle and walk away all sadly with my big wet baby animal eyes?”
“I…” Franziska’s eyes dart back to the screen, “I won’t be much longer. Please, don’t wait up on my account, dear.”
“Franzzzyyyyy,” Maya whines, drawing closer and resisting the urge to drape herself like a needy cat over her girlfriend’s desk. “It’s not just that. I’m worried about you.”
Franziska blinks. “Hm? Why on earth is that?”
“Do you not see how insanely hard you’re working?” Her face twists in concern. “Like, it’s super cool how dedicated you are, but…. This can’t be good for you.”
“I assure you, it’s par for the course.” Maya watches as she smooths out her hair a bit, clearly growing aware of how frazzled she must look. “I suppose it would seem a bit shocking when you’re used to the likes of Phoenix Wright…”
“Hey! Nick works hard too. You know your youthful stride can’t compare with his old man energy, though.”
Brightening despite her obvious exhaustion, Franziska stifles one of her adorable little laughs into a cupped hand. For a moment, Maya forgets she’s supposed to be frustrated with the girl—that sound is divine, she’ll never tire of hearing it. The feeling of it there in her heart spills over, and then Maya’s drawing close, leaning over to meet Franziska there in her desk chair. Gingerly, then, she holds Franziska’s beautiful, chiseled jaw in the palm of her hand, rubbing soft circles into her beloved’s cheek. 
“Please come to bed?” Maya croons. “If you don’t I’m gonna miss you so much, and then I’ll die of a broken heart, and who’s gonna prosecute you when you’re charged for my murder? Edgeworth? Are you gonna let Edgeworth do that?”
“I highly doubt it will come to that, Schatzi,” Franziska says. “Do get some rest. I’ll join you as soon as I’m able.”
Franziska speaks it with such a tenderness to her, Maya almost can’t find it in her heart to be upset. That low, whispery sort of rasp she always talked in, on these late nights when no one could peer into the room and see her, walls down—Maya loved her like this, imperfect and soft. She loved even more that she was one of the few allowed to see it. 
Still, there’s something heavy that wells in her chest in the finality of the statement. That was that, then—Franziska was committed to running herself ragged, late nights and early mornings and little time for Maya at all. The selfish aspect of it truly wasn’t what guided Maya into that office—more than anything, she was just really concerned—but it didn’t feel great, either. Steeling herself, she tries to remind herself of the circumstances of why she’s here, but before she can lose herself in the thought there’s a hand on her face and a very, very beautiful girl kissing her lips. 
The blow, if it can even be called that, is softened. Maya leans into the embrace, feeling utterly breathless. 
Franziska, similarly, seems to hesitate in pulling away. Maya knows she must, though—she’s a legend, after all, and crime does not sleep. She wishes it did, though—if only so that one single, heart-stopping fox of a prosecutor had more time to spend on kissing her silly. 
“You spilled coffee in your lap,” Maya says, romantically, “bee tee dubs.”
Still holding Maya’s face, Franziska dumbly angles her eyes down, cheeks pink. “...so it seems.”
“Night, babe. I love you.”
“And I you, my dear.”

My goofiest idea yet: Ace Attorney Wrestling Crossover AU
Tumblr media
Starring Phoenix Wright as the guy I'll focus on the most, at least for this post.
The premise is: All culprits, Defendants, Legal Workers and some victims are all wrestling champions. Most minors are either not wrestling or are in junior/little league wrestling
- It follows the same storyline as the canon Ace Attorney games, but instead of murders it would be wins and loses or sometimes even decommissioning a wrestler due to an injury
- Much like in Ace Attorney AND in wrestling storytelling, there are heroes and villains, and long fleshed out conflicts and plotines
- Phoenix Wright's gimmick in wrestling is that he's a lawyer
- By "defending" someone, Phoenix is either winning a tag team match with his "defendant" or avenging his "defendant" over a loss that seemed unjust
I go more into his storyline below (vague spoilers for every game as it goes on)
- Phoenix was originally going to art school, but he started wanting to wrestle when he saw his former friend, Miles Edgeworth, as "The Demon Prosecutor", a wrestler known to use crude and exploitative tactics in "the name of justice"
- As Edgeworth's gimmick was being a prosecutor (I haven't drawn him yet), Phoenix models himself to be the opponent, and represent people fairly in their matches, so that he'll be more likely to cross paths with him
- They'd follow perhaps a similar storyline as the actual wrestling arc "The Golden Lovers", which btw got me into wrestling. They are both boys and one of them is from Canada and the other is from Japan and it's surprisingly emotional and I recommend you check it out
Tumblr media
- So yeah they're gay and there's some unresolved tension there
- Mia Fey, a rising wrestler in the women's league, takes Phoenix under her wing after during a match against Dahlia Hawthorne, a well known and beloved wrestler, she saves Phoenix from a sudden and violent attack into the stands from his then girlfriend
(The reveal later on would be that there were two Dahlias, the twins, which feels like a good cheesy plotine for a wrestling champion. Phoenix didn't know that he had actually been dating Iris)
- A few years pass
- Phoenix gets his first victory
- I think Mia actually dies, though I'm not completely sold on it yet (because I'm not sure how Maya's gimmick will work yet)
- Behind the scenes, someone had caused some serious physical damage to her, and she had to be rushed to the hospital due to wounds from Redd White, a pro wrestler with a rich CEO gimmick, and the rings he wears on his fingers (a pretty clear hazard)
- Phoenix faces off in a tag team match against Redd White, April May, with the gimmick of being a sexy secretary, and Miles Edgeworth
- He's not alone though: He's "defending" Maya, a fresh face on the wrestling scene, and to even it out, Grossberg, a senior wrestler, is also there (but as obviously he and Redd White are lovers, he's kind of a handicap for that match and doesn't fight anyone at full potential)
- BUT THEY WIN! The crowd is shocked but supportive, they never knew it was possible to take down the Demon Prosecutor
- They go through the other cases
- Phoenix beats Manfred Von Karma, an undefeated champion who had actually killed ("by accident") Edgeworth's real father, Gregory Edgeworth, 15 years ago after they concluded that the match was a draw
- More cases happen, Phoenix gets blackmailed and has to work with Matt Engarde, a shiny popular wrestler, in a tag team match, but manages to expose him (I guess meaning that Shelly De Killer is a paid professional of sorts for underground wrestling deals) and retrieve Maya safely
- Miles leaves wrestling but later comes back (Like in the golden lovers wink wink nudge nudge)
- Franziska is cool and so is Godot, I'll make art/posts for their wrestling attire
The next chapter of his life:
(Spoilers for Apollo Justice)
---
--
-
Tumblr media
- The Gramarye's are also wrestlers (you best believe it) with a magician gimmick
- Phoenix "represents" Zak Gramarye in a tag team match against rising star Klavier Gavin (He's 17 which makes it weird but idk how to fix that) and Valant Gramarye
- Turns out the wrestling ring had some tampered-with props, and Phoenix used one of them in a finishing move, causing unforseen injury to Valant
- Klavier, having received a "tip off" from his brother (who was going to be in the match until Zak rejected him, and so was Klavier's coach instead) that some of the props were tampered with and that he'd use them
- Phoenix gets exiled from the wrestling scene and Zak disappears, leaving his daughter alone in the audience
- Phoenix spends the next seven years compiling evidence against Kristoph, as well as coaching and supporting Trucy Wright, his adopted daughter, in little league wrestling tournaments she's in
- She wants to do magic-based wrestling just like the Gramaryes
- After a man named Shadi Enigmar is found unconscious at the Borshe Bowl Club, a restaurant in the wrestling stadium, there's some rumors going around and Kristoph, a well respected wrestler, is announced for a one-for-all wrestling match beside his new "understudy", Apollo Justice
- Phoenix comes back as a surprise audience member in that one-for-all wrestling match, and teaming up with Apollo (who accidentally uses a tampered with prop to win the final moments against Kristoph), manages to get in a loss for Kristoph
- Apollo is mad, and backstage he performs a very iconic punch to the face
- However, since Kristoph no longer wants to mentor Apollo, Phoenix is now seen helping him out during matches
- I'll go more into the end when I do Apollo, but using his evidence, he exposes Kristoph's lies in true lawyer gimmick fashion after Apollo wins a match against him
- Kristoph is like "But you can't truly prove it can you? You're not a real lawyer. I can get away with whatever I want. You can't do anything"
- And Phoenix smiles and raises his hands out to the thousands of people watching in the crowd and is like "You're right. But they can."
- So the reputation of Kristoph Gavin is tarnished beyond repair.
I don't have much to say for Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice but he's back babyyyy (minor spoilers)
Tumblr media
- He's now a senior wrestler but hey, he's cool
- Edgeworth played a big part in making this happen, so of course when he find out Pheonix is wrestling alongside an orca he is foaming at the mouth
- He still coaches Trucy, and also took on another gig as Athena's coach
- Themis Legal Academy is maybe the same but also now has a super popular wrestling league
- I'm not going to think about Khura'in yet but I'll get to Sahdmadhi

you reblogged 2 posts back to back correctly identifying the fandom and tagging appropriately (mdzs, aa). did you follow me into them and if you didnt then what fandom do you recomend? you are clearly a person of excellent taste. i'm looking for something that will leave me completely unhinged please and thank u
I have reblogged much of those fandoms, but i did not follow you into them!
A couple of my friends have loved AA for YEARS, and I've been (excruciatingly slowly) working my way through the first trilogy since like 2020. I just finished the second game. For as much as I adore Edgeworth, AA is.........not my favored game series. I'm debating figuring out how to rom the one with Simon Keyes so I can see my blorbo-in-law, though.
And my roommate got into MXTX right about when everyone else english side got super hyped up for the English release announcements, and ended up taking me down with her. MDZS is good, it's her favorite, but HOB/TGCF has my heart in a chokehold. You just can't beat 800 years of devotion like that!! Also the level of weirdo4weirdo hualian are is just *chef's kiss*. (Yes I've also read, and reblogged, svsss. Shen Yuan is just like me for real for real, and it infuriates me. I'd be more self aware if I transmigrated, and as soon as OOC lock came off? Fucking MY world now.)
Anyway, you're looking for recommendations. Uhhhhh. Truthfully, I'm not sure, since most of my unhinged brain rot series are (relatively) old and terminal at this point, as well as not being able to entirely account for personal taste. You're catching those two cause they're New and Active. And I apologize if i rec something you already are into, i can NOT keep track of all the fandoms I've seen people in over the years. But! Things I have brain rot over, in somewhat decreasing rot:
☆ D. N. Angel (manga by Yukiru Sugisaki) (the OG brainrot)
☆ Kuroshitsuji (manga by Yana Toboso)
☆ Devil Survivor & Devil Survivor 2 (jrpg video games by Atlus)
☆ Persona 4 & Persona 5 (jrpg video games by Atlus)
☆ K (anime by GoHands and GoRA)
☆ Fire Emblem: Three Houses & Fire Emblem: Three Hopes (jrpg video games by Intellegent Systems and Koei Tecmo)
☆ Amnesia series (japanese otome vn by Idea Factory)
☆ The Queen's Thief series (books by Megan Whalen Turner)
☆ The Queen's Blade series (books by TC Southwell)
☆ The Sylph series (books by L. J. McDonald)
☆ Captive Prince trilogy (books by C. S. Pacat)
Please be aware that most of these come with Content Warnings, and please either look them up or ask what they are if you're concerned!
I think most other things have brain rot characters in them, but aren't overall something I'm gone for. But!! I'm probably forgetting things!! Because I have a shit memory even for my beloveds!! If you want to know what gave me brain rot, even if only for a short time, checking out my tags or my AO3 bookmarks is the way to go. If I liked it enough to give it a tag or bookmark it, it's rotted some part of my brain at some point (esp bookmarks). I'd say if i wrote it too, but a couple things I wrote for an exchange despite not being what I'd normally care about. Good luck!!!

heya Buwan🥺♥️♥️I hope you are well
Want to give some fun asks (don't answer if you don't wanna of course) soo:
What are your other fandoms besides ROTTMNT?
Favorite characters from each?
Have you have made AUs for them?
Awww!!! Anon! Thank you 🥺🥺I love answering these types of questions!
Other fandoms/interests besides just TMNT in general:
Revolutionary Girl Utena (Anime): This is a bit obvious with how much I reference this show. My favorite characters is Anthy Himemiya, 100%. This show genuinely means a lot to me, especially in its themes. It's cathartic, but difficult watch for me.
Ace Attorney (Games): Lana Skye... This fucking series, god <3
Lupin III: Goemon Ishikawa XIII and Fujiko Mine my beloved! Got into it because of my sister
JJBA part 6 & 7 (Anime, Manga): Jolene and Johnny are my favorite Joestars, and I love (Scary Monsters) Diego Brando. I literally started from part 6 snd worked backwards out of spite for an ex friend and I don't regret it.
Usagi Yojimbo (Comics): My fave is Tomoe Ame &lt;;3 though Miyamoto Usagi was my first fictional crush-of-sorts when I was 11
My Little Pony (Gen 1, 3, and 4 Cartoons): Who could've seen this coming?/s In order of iterations, faves are - Fizzy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash
Etc... (can't think, I am the sleepy)
As for AUs? More-so a NaruMitsu fic idea, I think I mentioned this before, but I had one for Ace Attorney before the turtles kicked me in the shins last year.
From my notes app, Nov. 2022
Tumblr media
Additional info:
Miles Edgeworth is "Miles E. Von Karma" in this fic, still actively under the guidance as is the "son" of Von Karma.
It's a time loop fic by the way because of course it is.
Thanks for asking this anon! So so sorry this just... ended up so long.

I will be basic and say AA for the ask meme
put a fandom in my ask and i’ll answer:
otp: krisnix, my beloveds
favourite canon pairing: I would say miego but their canonness is a little nebulous. Like they were definitely *something* but it's unclear whether they were ever officially a couple--or just had feelings on both sides. So I am going to say Dessie/Ron.
worst pairing ever: what if I said narumitsu, what then? Honest answer is probably franmaya. Is it objectively a bad ship, not at all. I just don't "get it." Like I "get" narumayo, narumitsu, klapollo, etc even if I don't find them particularly interesting. But franmaya...it's just...they barely interact in canon and when they do, it isn't really particularly meaningful imo. Just slightly antagonistic but not in a fun, foe yay way like with klema or langworth. It feels like they just got paired because they are two female characters that are around the same age--and because fandom decided narumayo and fradrian were "too problematic." And even if we are sticking to the narrow criteria of female characters between 16-18 in the Trilogy timeline, both of them seem like they would "work" much better with Kay or Ema than with each other. Also I do feel like some of the potentially interesting aspects of the franmaya ship tend to get watered down by the fandom in favor of making them soft generic uwu girlfriends--which seems particularly ooc for Ziska at least.
guilty pleasure pairing: so many but the guiltiest is probably *whispers* Phoenix/Athena. Also Lanagantworth.
a pairing you want to see more: every ship that isn't narumitsu, klapollo, and franmaya lol. Honestly, there are so many really interesting pairings in this fandom that just get slept on, so I am going to try to limit myself to particularly rare "rare pairs" that I feel could and should have so much more content than they do. Lana/Godot (specifically in the post-canon, hurt/comfort way), Apollo/Nahyuta, Franziska/Aura, Lang/Franziska, Apollo/Edgeworth, Edgeworth/Blackquill, Lana/Blackquill, Klavier/Larry, Edgeworth/Justine.
that pairing everyone likes but you’re like “lol no”: narumitsu. I can only ever tolerate if it's a poly ship with Kristoph, Lang, or Larry--and even then, I prefer the other iterations of the triad. Ironically I think I could really like narumitsu if and only if it wasn't the fandom juggernaut pairing--as a lot of the things I like about krisnix, cykesquill and/or nahyupollo are the same things that other people like about narumitsu. But 90 times out of 100, my brain sees the popular ship and is just like "ha ha, nope" and finds a rare pair to be insane about instead.
favorite non-romantic pair: Kay & Edgeworth & Gumshoe (though it's okay if it's kay + romantic gumworth). Their dynamic just resonates with me in a way that none of the other play character + assistant(s) do nearly as strong. I was largely indifferent to Miles before I was exposed to Investigations. I liked him well enough, but I never really understood why the fandom was so fixated on him. But Kay and Gumshoe--and especially both of them together-- are such wonderful foils to him, as their differences and similarities allow us to get to see the "real" Edgeworth--as opposed to the idealized version of him that Phoenix has or the "Demon Prosecutor" that his reputation conveys.

Not super proud of this one... but, eh. @narumayoweek2023
Day 2: Investigations/Caretaking
Phoenix couldn't help but look around the office and wonder what was out of place.
            Despite his "out there" nature, people tend to forget that he is quite observant. Observant to a fault actually. He could recall certain little things almost like a photographic memory, a trait that he had been compared to that of his ancestor, Ryunosuke Naruhodo.
            Well… time to investigate!
            First, Phoenix went over to the old, worn, red couches. He saw clearly that the couple of mismatched pillows were still there, the television remote was still on the coffee table next to a four-month-old issue of some sort of magazine Maya had picked up at a convenience store. This area was the same.
            Phoenix then went by where he had his desk. His pens were still in an old mason jar that he had, his legal pads were askew as always with their random doodles, and a case file here and there was piled unorganized. The desk phone had a thin layer of dust, and the old dinosaur of a desktop computer was a nest of dust bunnies as Phoenix never really knew how to work it. That was the same.
            "Damn it… something is different…" Phoenix murmured, rubbing his chin. "I just know it."
            He observed the bookshelves, seeing the layers of just on Mia's old law books still neatly where she left them. His old case files and the ones Mia had done were still organized as well. Nothing was out of place…
            Charlie was by the window as always, growing fuller by the day from the daily watering and the proper changing of the soil for nutrients. Phoenix looked at each leaf - no signs of browning or withering. Perfect - just the way Mia would've wanted her beloved plant.
            "Nick, what are you doing…?" Maya's voice giggled from behind him.
            "GAH!" Phoenix yelped as he nearly rammed his head into a nearby cabinet. "Maya! A little warning next time please? You scared me half to death!"
            The Spirit Medium smiled mischievously at him. "It looks as though you're looking for something…" she cheekily said to him.
            He narrowed his eyes at her. "What did you do…?" he lowly asked, crossing his arms.
            "Me?" she drew out the word innocently. "Absolutely nothing…"
            "There is something off about my office, and I'm going to get to the bottom of it!" the attorney declared.
            "Act a little stuffier and you'd sound just like Mr. Edgeworth!" Maya giggled, putting a hand to her mouth.
            "Can it."
            Again, Phoenix made the rounds around the office. He looked over the lounge area again - it was the same. His desk - the pens were still meticulously in their same spots. Charlie was still green. The books needed to be dusted along with the shelves, the phone, and the computer.
            Why… can't… I… FIGURE THIS OUT!?
            "Do you want a hint, Nick?" Maya coyly asked, her leaning forward slightly.
            "I've investigated dozens of murder crime scenes!" Phoenix insisted, throwing his objection finger into the air. "If I can find the most subtle of details during hard time crunches, I can do this!"
            Another lap around the office. Then another. And then another… He did three more laps, his hands gripped into his hair as he looked at each thing again and again.
            "What is OFF!?" Phoenix then shouted.
            "Your tie," Maya laughed, unable to contain it anymore.
            "… What…?"
            "You've been focusing on the items in the office that you didn't focus on the other constant in the office - you."
            "… Me!?" He was completely bewildered. He then glanced down to notice that he was wearing his blue suit like normal, but indeed he was not wearing his dark pink China tie. Instead, he glanced up at Maya, who was wearing it loosely around her own neck with a wide smile.
            "That's why you need me on investigations!" Maya cheekily said, sticking her tongue out at him.
            "Give me my tie," Phoenix grinned at her, holding out his hand.
            Maya put her hand to her cheek. "Hmm… I think you have to get it from me first!" she teased. She promptly turned her back on him and started skipping away from him with a giggle.
            "HOLD IT!"
            "Nuh uh, Old Man!" laughed Maya, hearing him crash around behind her as he began to give chase.
            The two were laughing around the office as she just barely made it out of his grasp once again. When she faltered for a moment to stick her tongue out at him, that was when he finally caught her, and she squealed with laughter.
            "Well, I think all my evidence is here," Phoenix breathlessly said. "Now, can I have my tie?"
            Maya slipped it from over her head and untied it. She then put it around Phoenix's neck and made sure it went under the collar of his white dress shirt and she delicately tied it into a near perfect Windsor's knot. Phoenix made no move to fix it - he liked it the way she did it.
            "I still feel like something is off in the office though…" Phoenix sighed almost tiredly.
            "I swapped the one sticky note on the phone with the one on the computer," Maya then finally admitted with a loud laugh, her eyes squinting slightly.
            "Then why the running around with my tie!?" Phoenix demanded, clearly exasperated. "And why touch my sticky notes…!? You know I like my sticky notes…"
            "A rouse!"
            "You're ridiculous…"
            "And you love me for it, Nick!"
            "I… have no objections to that."
            Maya then clapped her hands together. "Now that you're fully dressed and not running around half-naked-" Phoenix's face fell when she said that. "- Let's go investigate the burger joint!"
            "Why…?"
            Maya gave him a wink. "Because they have a new burger…! And I fully intend to investigate it fully with my mouth!"
            Phoenix barked out a laugh as he put a hand to his forehead. "God, that sounded so gross!" he laughed hysterically.
            Maya shrugged. "That burger is not being investigated with us standing here! Let's go!" She then proceeded to grab his hand and the two made their way out the door.
            The sticky note the Maya stuck on the computer that was switched from the phone gently fell onto the desk as it had lost it stickiness. It was personally one of Phoenix's favorite notes that he randomly kept from her as it read: "You’re the Steel Samurai to my Pink Princess <3, Love you, Nick! Love, Maya."

My favourite things about Ace Attorney :>
Tumblr media
𖥔 ִ ་ ، ˖ ࣪ ་ ˖ ʿ𖥔 ִ ་ ، ˖ ࣪ ་ ˖ ʿ𖥔 ִ ་ ، ˖ ࣪ ་ ˖ ʿ 𖥔 ִ ་ ، ˖ ࣪ ་ ˖ ʿ𖥔 ִ ་ ، ˖ ࣪ ་ ˖ ʿ𖥔 ִ ་ ، ˖ ࣪ ་ ˖ ʿ
~ Part 1 ~ Relationships
Narumitsu. // >:) It's my favourite ship ever atm, they bring me so much joy ahhh (I have thought about them non stop for 4 months omg)
Mia Fey x Lana Skye // In college they dated and or explored each others bodies so to speak. (not actual but that's my hc) (Also there's rlly good fanfics on ao3 that take place in a timeline where Mia didn't get conked and Lana didn't get Ganted which r rlly wholesome.)
The sheer intensity of Godot's love for Mia. // That is true passion.
Ron and Desirée DeLite // THE STRAIGHT COUPLE EVER. This is real love! At points you wonder if Dessie is just with him because he’s rich but no! She just really loves him. 🧡
Franmaya // Very swaggy. Wholesome and I LIVE FOR THE FANDOM INTERPRETATIONS OF THEM!! 🫶🫶
Klapollo // I haven't played Apollo Justice but I eat minor spoilers for breakfast. Klavier just decides from first sight. That is the one. "I've never felt this way about a man" And he just flirts with the short king while Apollo is oblivious but also is madly in love IDK AGAIN I HAVENT PLAYED THE GAME YET BUT I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM. (THE SHIP)
Faraskye // So cute, idk much about Kay Faraday but their designs together r rlly cute and I've seen a few edits of them which r rlly wholesome. 🫶
Doug Swallow.. x Feenie. // I read a fanfic about them and da bunch of objection.lols and I'm ngl they grew on me.
Maggey x Gumshoe // The age gap is iffy to me but they are extremely wholesome. (Weenie lunchboxes, anyone? :3)
Adrian x Franziska // They are similar, that's for sure. I can't help but feel the perverse power dynamic though that would likely be their undoing. Or maybe, They could change each other for the better. Adrian lets Franzy get more acquainted with her softer side, and Franzy teaches Adrian to be stronger and more confident! Ok now I have to write a fic about that. Feel free to use that idea, my treat.
April May x Ini Miney // I saw some fanart of them on Pinterest 😼 They both got a bit of an act goin, but they r very cute.
Dahlia Hawthorne/ Melissa Foster x April May // April and Ini's acts, dialled up to 11. I read a really good fic of them. I drew them too and I would do it again :)
Franziska x Ema Skye // (As adults) Pretty wholesome ngl.
Mia x Lana x Godot. // I dub them the hottest polycule in anime. This is assuming that Lana isn't lesbian (likely story.) and we would have to do some timeline gymnastics to give these three a happy ending but I think they would make a very good poly ship :)
Lana x Angel x Mia // Kinda popular on Tumblr, actually. (I just remembered I am ON TUMBLR right now...) Very cute. I want to draw them.
(I had a rainbow sherbet mother energy drink today 🤤 It tastes like nerds, would recommend.)
Tumblr media
Edgeworth and Franziska siblings // They are bouncing in my head like a screensaver constantly. I love Sound the turnabout melody because it shows us how much love Franzy has for Miles.
“Why’d you go and dress him (Miles’ dog) up?”
“I thought it would make you smile..” IMSOBBING
And when Miles becomes Manfred’s disciple, Franziska is off to the side, literally in the shadows. But what does she do? The sweet girl who wants nothing more than to follow in her beloved papa’s footsteps and become a great prosecutor, watching as her papa gives his attention to the boy he took in as his own? She gives that boy the biggest smile she can muster. Her little head is filled with nothing but love and admiration.
Tumblr media
Even as an adult, Franziska admires Miles. Her main motivation for even BEING in the second game revolves around him. It is made clear that she isn’t going after Phoenix because of her father, but because of Miles. She believed that Phoenix was the reason for Miles choosing death, and she was NOT going to let him get away with it. (I will add more later, I could go on about them for hours.)
Ema and Lana Skye // I think about them at least once a day, let Lana go see her sister PLEASE she's done her time ok let my girls be happy and investigate together... 🙏 anyway Lana risked and lost so so much to protect Ema..
Dahlia and Iris Hawthorne // Iris loves her sister so very much. Dahlia sees her as dirt. Been thinking abt them alot today. Iris was willing to help with Dahlia’s schemes despite not being evil herself.
Phoenix and Maya sibling relationship // They will forever be siblings to me lel.
By extension I feel like Mia and Phoenix were like family cuz they were like 🥲 all they had
Signal samurai trio // Especially as kids they r so fcking CUUUUTETETTEEE give me lifeee
Also narumitsu art where they are kids makes me so happyyyy cuz they r so!! adorable!! <3
Phoenix and Trucy being father and daughter // 🥲 Phoenix, can.. Will u be my father too? 🙏 (father issues) They are the adhd dad & adhd daughter representation we need but ya'll aren't ready for that information. (Direct quote from a post I made on my main 💀💀)
Gumshoe and Edgeworth friendship. // Trust. They have their own ways of showing their respect for each other 😭 but they work very well together and r close even if they don't act like it! (Or if Gumshoe's salary reflects it. 😭)
MIA AND MILES’ DYNAMIC. // I love how many interpretations there are of these two’s relationship. For one we got them being besties. I love this and yes I have drawn art of it. Then theres them hating each other’s very guts. This is reasonable! Also interesting. I wish we were able to see Mia’s reaction to the reason Phoenix became a lawyer. That would be very interesting. Anyway they live in my mind. Novice bimbos forever <3
Phoenix and Franziska friendship // When they manage to tolerate each other they r very cute and fun!
Trucy and Franzy auntie and niece relationship // This one is specifically because of the "How to court a fool in three months" fanfic. But they work so well together and I rlly want to see more ppl to utilize them :)
Miles and Gregory Edgeworth // All the art and posts about them are so very wholesome and Gregory seemed like a great dad. (I can't wait to learn more about him in AAI :3)
Manfred VK and Miles Edgeworth //
Drops this and runs but I run into a pole and get knocked unconscious 😵‍💫 I posted this btw 😵‍💫
Tumblr media
Will be adding more cuz VK fam r the only thoughts in my brain rn.
Tumblr media
Larry Butz.. and Maya Fey.. but their relationship is that of a fun uncle and silly niece. // This one may need some explaining. This is very much projection cuz these two remind me of me and my uncle (literally the funniest dude I know) Well not actually my uncle but a family friend. But yk.
Then I played... 😡 trials and tribulations 😡 And this bitch ass Butz was flirting with Maya! WTF?! Was that necessary?? Did anyone laugh at that? No! I could write a whole essay on how Larry's character got obliterated throughout the trilogy. He went from one of my favourite characters, to me actually cheering a little when he had something bad happen. (I still love him tho and choose to pretend that he doesn't become a shell of himself after the first game.)
(“Not exactly a friend… but yes, I know him” Cracked me tf up. Deserved lmao.)
---Not plot relevant spoilers for bridge to the turnabout ---
Going off from that I want to touch on Larry and Pearls friendship. // This had potential! Just kidding! It was ruined from before they even saw each other. Larry hears Pearl over the phone and goes "oH wHaT a CuTiEeE!" in a weird way. My c*nt that is a whole 8 year old child. But if we IGNORE THAT GRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I like in the anime adaptation of farewell my turnabout, Larry is rlly nice to Pearl :) And in bridge to the turnabout, this could be a hot take but I think the whole 'loser shack' thing was hilarious. Larry was so enthusiastic and boisterous and Pearl was just like yeah guess I'm here.. and as soon as Phoenix comes around she turns her full attention to him. Idk I just thought that whole exchange was charming.
--- Spoilerz over ---

-- Hints at sexual shit ahead if you don't want to read that then all g — I removed some cuz idk 😭
These ones are just for shits and gigs.
Phoenix and Larry college situationship. // Had to throw a bit of a curveball at ya. I don't fucking know why this is in the back of my head but it is.
Ema and Franziska // This was from like one person on twitter or Tumblr but I like it. Bitter exes, get it. 💅
If by some miracle Edgeworth isn't a virgin (and also isn't asexual of course!) by the time he actually gets with Wright then I think he would do it with Gumshoe or agent Lang. Trust. I refuse to believe he would ever think about a woman that way 😭 And also the man's just married to his work he don't got time for that.
But why Lang gotta go around telling him to be a good little pretty boy or whatever the fuck gay stuff he says to him. (I have only seen a few screenshots, I have yet to meet Lang in the game 💀💀)
Anyway I just had to get that out there lmao. Don't take this too seriously 🤣

That's all for now! I was typing this for about 2 hours longer than I expected. Anyway please share your thoughts in the comments or tags!

Update:
Stfu tryna give people advice on when to sleep when I pulled an all nighter this week and got very disoriented the next night or maybe the night after (last night?!) because the last 48 hours had merged together to form a blur 😭

"...My learned Nipponese friend is obviously in training to be a clown, the way he regales us with such witticisms."
Barok just.... I mean I am still correct in what I'm saying, but damn, how do you even come back from that one?? Ryunosuke is going to need therapy for that statement alone.
Also I'm soooooo upset the games aren't fully voice acted, I would've loved to hear that!!
The more I play DGS the more I want a separate anime just for this whole era. I'm not even asking much. Just the cases and-
Okay wait I just clicked on my switch screen to prevent it from shutting down and he follows up with a toast to "my future career in the circus"???? Holy fuck, this man!!
Soooo I suppose you can definitely count me in for the Barok van Zieks Simp Club. I feel like I owe him my soul and part of my income.
Such an iconic statement that it even transcends timelines. Barok must be Edgeworth's ancestor, right? (Yeah, I know, the "you're the entire circus" thing is just a meme).
I can understand his thoughts, though. Think about it from Barok's perspective for a moment. You are the most celebrated Crown prosecutor in the country who only takes on high-profile cases, not that you care about your own status, but you do want to make sure that the good name of the British judicial system doesn't get sullied. This nobody from a different country who did not even properly study law and who does not have any real world experience whatsoever shows up in court to pretend to do real attorney work. This wannabe also makes his debut defending one of the most notorious individuals in town, who you definitely know to be shady (let's leave it at that, okay?). Surely this kid can't be trusted, right? What's he up to?
The youngster goes on to disrespect court procedures because he's not familiar with them, accuses people without any shred of evidence, bluffs, puts forward hypotheses merely based on ideas or feelings, disregards many of the protocols. Of course the prosecution is frustrated. Wouldn't we all be if we were part of the game? What makes Ryunosuke charming to us as the audience, makes him bothersome to the characters in the game that are involved in all of this. :D
I'm actually surprised that prosecutor Van Zieks just goes along with it, when he would have had grounds to ask this learned friend to be removed from the courtroom due to being unfit for court. Barok is very patient and even helps Ryunosuke quite a bit/mentors him, as well as cooperates with him when he technically doesn't have to, because in the end, this prosecutor only cares about justice. (Gosh, there's more I want to say, but I will refuse to use any spoilers because I know you haven't finished the game yet, so let's end it here).
You absolutely speak my mind! A well-made anime in the world of DGS would be so very amazing. Hearing our beloved characters speak (as you've mentioned), seeing them move. The character design is superb, the world is beautiful. I adore the whole franchise (some games/characters more than others), but this cast is my favourite. From Ryunosuke to Barok to Susato to Iris etc., I love them all! I am not the same since I have finished this duology. Barok is my favourite character in the franchise (surprise, I know), with Ryunosuke coming in second and Susato coming in third, which is quite the achievement against such all-time-greats as Edgeworth, Phoenix and Maya. :)
Enjoy the rest of the game(s)! 😊
Edit/P.S.: In case you read my blog here, I can only recommend you filter out the tags "tgaa spoilers" and "dgs spoilers", as that's how I tag my spoilery posts and reblogs. Other people may use the same or other tags.

I know it’s probably too late, but can I still make a last-minute pitch to have Mia Fey be the Ace Attorney narrative-haunter representative instead of Gregory Edgeworth? She just fits the trope so much better:
- She is quoted in basically every Ace Attorney game (“always believe in your client”)
- Her beloved plant, which she bought when she got her first office, sits in the corner of the office in every game, and most characters will mention her if you click on it
- Her actions and rivalries are the driving force for the entire plot of Trials and Tribulations, so much so that they needed to do a flashback to when she was still alive for the plot to make sense
- SHE LITERALLY HAUNTS THE NARRATIVE THROUGH SPIRIT CHANNELING
Gregory Edgeworth is great and all, but he was relevant for like, three games, two of which are spin-offs. If you’re gonna have an Ace Attoney character who haunts the narrative, it should 100% be Mia instead.
Thoughts?
Okay, I considered answering this when the other mod is awake to discuss my response with, but I think I'm the more qualified one to answer (having played AAI2, where Gregory makes his one and only true appearance) so I'm going for it alone. If the other mod wakes up, reads this, and wants to reconsider Mia that's fine, but we have discussed Ace Attorney's inclusion in this tournament, so I'm pretty sure I'm good to go in that respect.
Tl;dr: We will not be replacing Gregory Edgeworth, and have (unfortunately) long since disqualified Mia, despite her getting more submissions than Gregory did. See this post here.
As for my PERSONAL and over-long opinion. Ace Attorney Investigations 2 spoilers are kept as vague as I possibly can, but full spoilers for the first game:
Like we said in the post about it linked above, Mia is LITERALLY haunting the games, but she's not haunting THE NARRATIVE as much as Gregory is. I love her dearly, obviously, and her shadow falls over Phoenix and Maya especially, but she's also literally there as a ghost, which is not what this tournament is about. Yes, I'm aware she's an edge case like some others we accepted (for better or for worse, as we're only human) but her PRESENCE the narrative is there.
(In addition, the narrative doesn't give her weight as much depth, BECAUSE spirit channeling is a thing. I don't think this is a bad thing, but regardless, I personally see it as taking away from her influence on The Narrative.)
Gregory, on the other hand? He's NOT here. His death was the catalyst for the ENTIRE FIRST GAME, and it caused Misty to leave which rippled through the Fey family, eventually causing MIA'S death, and of course everything that happened to Miles Edgeworth after Gregory's death being caused by von Karma's hatred for Gregory.
Mia's flashbacks in T&T are significant, obviously, but she's a ghost, and gets to give her advice right here and now!!
Meanwhile in AAI2, we get a significant flashback case involving Gregory and get to play from his point of view, but the real meat of the case is in the present day over a decade later, dealing with what he left behind. That's HAUNTING THE NARRATIVE very directly since he's still affecting his son, the person he mentored, and more. I don't think brushing off AAI2 as "just a spinoff" is good when Gregory has such a strong influence on both AA1 and AAI2, but also I'm a huge AAI2 fan so take my opinion here with a grain of salt. I'm aware most people haven't actually PLAYED AAI2, so they might brush off Gregory's influence, which is fine tbh, I'll live as long as they're nice about it.
As for your arguments about her being mentioned, that isn't very strong to me, I'm sorry... I think someone needs a more important influence on the plot other than being just mentioned, though the thematic through-line of "always believe in your client" IS haunting the narrative imo, so you have me there. But Mia's real influence is limited to the 3 trilogy games even if she's mentioned afterwards, and Gregory's to AA1 and AAI2 (I'm not sure if you think he has some influence on the first Investigations game, because he doesn't really, unless his son being the protagonist counts?) which is only one number off from each other.
So in my opinion, though Mia may be an edge case who could've gotten in with other circumstances, her being a literal ghost for 3/3 of the games she's important for disqualifies her compared to Gregory, whose influence and death is HUGELY important for two games.
(Also shout out to all the other AA characters who got submitted, especially the ones like Thalassa who we also disqualified ^^ I love them all but obviously spots were limited lol)
