Ooh, question dump time! I hope you don't mind these being a mix of fandom and sickfic/fanfic stuff, haha

1) I know they haven't been released yet and we just have promos to go off on, but do you have any thoughts on Scarlet & Violet so far?

2) Which of the starters is your favourite? Are you planning on using that one when you get the game?

3) What about all the other pokémon we've seen? Do any stick out to you? Do you think any of them will make it on your team?

4) I've noticed you put some Godot posts in your kin tag, so I'm curious about what he's like- what's his personality and role in the games he's in?

5) Also, the above but for Dahlia Hawthorne?

6) You've mentioned you're not particularly picky on sickfics you read, but what would you consider the Best Sickfic™? As in, what tropes, dynamics and symptoms do you enjoy the most?

7) What are some other fanfic genres you like?

8) You've spoken about making physical copies of DTE before, so do you have any other fics of yours you'd like printed out? I think it'd be fun to have a physical copy of your Sicktember fills from this month

9) If you have any for her, what pokémon does Maya have in your AU?

10) What's been your favourite Sicktember fill to write? Out of the ones you posted, do you have a specific line or description you're particularly proud of?

If you'd like me to elaborate a bit more on a specific question, I don't mind sending another ask clarifying what I mean!

OMG THESE ARE SO MEATY THANK YOU TAHNK YOU THANK YOU I DONT MIND QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING IN ANY ORDER I LOVE. TO TALK WAH THANK YOU

1) I know they haven't been released yet and we just have promos to go off on, but do you have any thoughts on Scarlet & Violet so far?

we've gotten like... a weirdly scant amount of promotional material for this game, so i actually don't have a lot of thoughts beyond the typical 'OMG POKEMON IM SO EXCITED TO PLAY POKEMON' fdghdfhgf. i can't say any of the designs have stuck out to me yet but thats also cause we just haven't seeeeeen any like even the leaks have been quiet? its so weird. but i am excited :]

2) Which of the starters is your favourite? Are you planning on using that one when you get the game?

honestly i think sprigatito is my favourite because... it reminds me of jessica dfgjkhfsghgf she loves cat pokemon and grass types and when i saw the grass kitty i was filled with so much indescribable fucking joy on her behalf i could not contain myself. i'm using fuecoco myself but grass kitty is everything to me...

3) What about all the other pokémon we've seen? Do any stick out to you? Do you think any of them will make it on your team?

nothing yet. i like the little poison fucker but not enough to bother using him.

4) I've noticed you put some Godot posts in your kin tag, so I'm curious about what he's like- what's his personality and role in the games he's in?

diego is a double-sided character~ he has two distinct "eras" of his life by his own admission. in earlier days he was mia fey's partner in law and her mentor as a defense attorney. he's very calm and collected and has a distinct kind of poeticism with words, usually incorporating motifs relating to coffee into the things he says because he's a coffee autistic who makes his own blends fdghfg. he was deeply in love with mia and her passion, in the anime dub the word he uses when he describes how he felt about her is captivated and it lives in my head rent-free. they dated for at least a little while, but diego was lethally poisoned shortly after one of their cases together and fell into a years-long coma. he survived, but mia was murdered while he was comatose.

diego came out of the coma with a major vision impairment and with his hair having gone white. when he found out that the love of his life had died while he was asleep the guilt of not having been there to protect her ran so deep that he threw nearly every trace of his prior self away. he renamed himself godot, which takes components from his first and last names diego and armando, as well as being a waiting for godot reference--mia was waiting on him, and he never showed. he switched sides to become a prosecutor and swore to ruin phoenix in court because diego could not handle blaming himself and so he forced all the anger he had onto blaming phoenix, the only other person mia really had in her immediate life.

eventually he realizes that mia poured so much of herself and her love into phoenix, and phoenix so adoringly leaned into her every word, that within phoenix lives mia's undying flame. once he sees mia's spirit living on through phoenix, he realizes what a fucking shithead he's been.

post-coma diego is pretty similar to who he was before but with a cold, simmering kind of anger that shows itself in occasional moments and especially around phoenix. also his weird poeticisms have ramped themselves up and 90% of what he says in court or otherwise is completely incomprehensible. i can't even really describe to you the way diego talks. he is basically just the "i don't sleep. i just dream." meme amped up to 11.

diego views the poisoning and coma as a death and rebirth. he refers to his surviving as crawling out of the depths of hell to get vengeance.

5) Also, the above but for Dahlia Hawthorne?

she poisoned diego.

lmao.

dahlia is a merciless, abusive, cold-hearted killer. i could go on and on about how she is, like many criminals, a neglected child from a broken family and how every single thing she's done has such clear reasoning behind it but quite frankly i have so much less to say about her. she's just a vindicative, vengeful, cruel fucking murderer who steals and lies and cheats. she sucks. she tries to poison literally everything that even slightly inconveniences her and barely succeeds, ever.

how to even summarize her... dahlia was one of two daughters of morgan fey, but their dad divorced morgan and fled the fey clan pretty much the second it was clear that morgan would never surpass or live up to the power that the main family had. he took the kids with him and he apparently sucked really hard, hard enough that dahlia fuckin SNAPPED and decided to just start fucking killing people at like age 14.

she did some of that and that's how she ran into cousin mia. mia tried exposing her shit in court but dahlia poisoned the decisive witness and he literally died on the stand. it traumatized mia and she didn’t stand trial for like almost a full year after that. to rub salt in the wound dahlia poisoned diego pretty soonafter when he was questioning her. she got away with all these crimes until mia found her tied up in another case some time later, dahlia dating one phoenix wright who was the prime suspect in a murder on his college campus. obviously she did it and tried to not only frame phoenix but poison him, too--the most she could do was coerce him into swallowing glass but he’s phoenix so he survived. .

mia managed to get dahlia for that murder but after she was executed in prison she continued to do ghost crime. namely her mother and her teamed up to possess the shit out of someone and try to kill maya, the last surviving member of the main family. mia ends up giving the most powerful fucking reason you suck speech to dahlia alongside phoenix and they fucking exorcise her spirit in one of the most glorious goddamn scenes in the whole franchise.

dahlia sucks. she has no redeeming qualities. her story is a tragic one at its root but i revel in how shamelessly evil she is about it. a long time ago im sure i would’ve felt ashamed about being kin with her but now i mostly just use it to antagonize my phoenix & mia kinnie friends.

6) You've mentioned you're not particularly picky on sickfics you read, but what would you consider the Best Sickfic™? As in, what tropes, dynamics and symptoms do you enjoy the most?

i actually answered this!

7) What are some other fanfic genres you like?

i’m pretty sure besides sickfic the literal only thing i read is smut. sometimes i’m in the mood for a slowburn/fluff but only rarely. i moreso read fic based on the characters featured than any genre, i tend to scroll through whole character tags until i reach the beginning.

oh i have a physical copy of down! the PDF’s are here.

DTE has been an undertaking because i also wanted to edit the grammar and tighten up the dialogue a little bit~ and also, its too long, so it’s split into three books. i have the first two all ready to go, just struggling to make the cover for the third dfghdf.

i was planning on making my sicktember fills a physical book, yes!! if anyone’s interested in that i can post the PDFs here haha. haven’t worked on them yet but i plan to very soon.

9) If you have any for her, what pokémon does Maya have in your AU?

i actually haven’t touched maya or the AU in ages ghdg...... i think we were all very adamant that she inherited mia’s chikorita who is named charley though

10) What's been your favourite Sicktember fill to write? Out of the ones you posted, do you have a specific line or description you're particularly proud of?

my favourite was my day 21!!! i talk about it more in the author’s notes but i had been fixing to write it for a very long time. it’s based on true events!

i’m proud of all my writing, so i think that questions too broad for me~ i know it’s like, hip and cool to hate your art or whatever but i absolutely refuse to give my perfectionism a voice this late in life. left that behind me.

sorry i don’t have an answer for you there! i love it all!

what the... fuck?

yet again we start off with a cutscene that looks like its from a completely different game... or low quality anime

...why are we starting off in court

“who brings a defendant to his own trial late”

why... is this sentence not processing

for the life of me i have no idea what that means;

simon: you can just SCARE the judge into not giving a fuck about shit like being late, or threatening people under the guise of clever psychological manipulation!

also hi again simon

are you ready to be fun and likeable and not awful ?? I'm excited!

“i wish he'd stop treating me like a child all the time”

hey, old habits die hard.

simons already doing well by being an overprotective dork... so far so good. dont disappoint me, samurai.

our defendant is drunk

we’re off to an excellent start!

what... accent is this...

oh its drunkinese ok

“three sheets to the wind”

ive never heard that one

maybe they can get away with having a drunk guy but they cant actually say drunk?

somebody get this guy some raw eggs and hotsauce??

wow hes drunk enough to be close to vomiting? he’s not acting hungover so I'm assuming that he’s been drinking up till now. and simon was last with him, so...

yeah I'm blaming simon for this

“ive known athena longer than ive known bucky”

“ive frequented his soba restaurant”

contradiction! simon was in jail up until very recently, and knew Athena for a very short period of time during her childhood. unless he met Bucky right after taking care of athena, it’s not possible that he’s known her longer. that or i guess he could just walk right out of jail to get noodles.

“meat slapped between slabs of bread...”

oh no ya dont, translation team. you made your burger bed, now you have to lie in it. no mocking the joke now.

quit being so tsundere simon. and yes I'm giving you the luxury of being tsundere and not just an asshole who’d prefer the company of men he once tried to cut to ribbons just because Athena’s a girl. because I'm in a good mood today!

a) scariest ringtone to date

b) he runs that place alone?? sucks to be buck

please stop doing the vomit animation its making me uncomfortable

“this is no time for idle chatter”

oh simon, you obviously dont know what a chekov’s... um, conversation is.

wow so not only are we starting in the court room, but Sadmad said his prayers already. This is shaping up to be a rushed case.

...because obviously this is just filler before we get back to the Oh-So Delightful Adventures in Lawyer Land

edgeworth called him back for this case?? ...why???

Sadmad: I could be less horrible now that I owe the WAA a favourOR I could threaten to send a young lady to hell for just doing her job!!!! GO SADMAD, GO SADMAD

...dont call her a spring chick.

wait wait MAY 12TH?!

They just finished Maya’s trial and Edgeworth hauls Sadmad back to America over night?? How the fuck does Sadmad think he’s more prepared than us?? He had about the same amount of time to prepare!

I’ve got a good feeling about this case

Sadmad just let that poor butterfly rest jfc the aesthetic isn't that important

“this guy stole the deed to this other guys shop, so other guy KILLED HIM to get it back”

yes, brilliant deduction, not an overreaction at all

Sadmad, you literally got back here at like 1 am last night. Go fuck yourself and leave Athena alone.

So Apollo’s a red pepper, Athena’s an egg yolk... But there aren’t any blue foods, so Phoenix is just stuck being called ‘putrid’ in general.

Anyway cut Athena some slack. She’s already progressed far beyond having a breakdown in court because someone talked over her.

SEXY PAN UP SHOT FOR SIMON BLACKQUILL,

“Simon!! You didnt tell me you were taking the stand!!!”

“There wasn’t time...”

no time at all during that 5 minutes you spent in the lobby. But I'm laughin’ so I’m not judging. Also I missed that theme...

AW YIS

THROW DOWN SIMON

he’s the lesser of two evils this time; I'm ready to back him up! Simon in the blue corner, ding ding!!!!

half-awake sadmad looks up “rakugo” on wikipedia at 3 am

“yeah that should do it”

...and memorizes the whole article apparently

(coughmartystucough)

Sadmad: No wasting time!! This soul must get to the afterlife post-haste! You’re all putrid lumps of fecal matter for putting off the last ri–– wait, an opportunity to gloat?! Hold onto your hats, baby! The next twenty minutes are mine!!!

(weeps) thank you Athena

simon will remember this (you blackguard)

sexy pan up shot for–– oh, it really is a “sexy” pan up shot this time

except for those... soulless eyes...

aw nuts she has that drone-y X people theme.

OH GOD

OH GOD YOUR BOOBS

THAT WOULD HURT SO FUCKING MUCH

IM CLUTCHING MY CHEST JUST THINKING ABOUT IT

but I'm also chortling at the booby jokes teehee

“Never show sadness! Smile, smile, smile! With a twisty-twist-twist!”

Hey, it’s the new motto of ace attorney! Your self worth is based solely on how well you can cover up your less palatable feelings! Yaaaay!!

...also I’m calling it now, she did it.

i think her balloons are pretty impressive, athena

420 WE GOT ONE FOLKS

“Sad Monk Sadmahdi”

simon, youre gaining brownie points fast

Lang Zi says... Oh, uh I mean, the Kooraheenist Bible says......

“I’m checking in with the big tough old man prosecutor because i underestimate this small, young, female defence attorney”

I'm getting flashbacks to Turnabout Beginnings. and not good ones.

You kick it, girl. tell them off.

nice! the judge is on our side!

why did she mention the dog barking a lot if it was only because he was hungry?

that is one hongry dog

something about the dog just burying the rest of the food is making me laugh

oh so that was important eh

hmm

has athena always done this double-slam thing, or is this new?

Athena: Witness, I think you might’ve been lying a little bit

Sadmad: Vile hitler-satan, I cast you down to hell for your debauchery, how dare you insinuate that this case has more to it than what is readily viewable on the surface? Tsk tsk, so inexperienced, so putrid,

“What? The gallery doesn’t get a say in this!”

They’re not a jury, you know!!!

“Why is the whole gallery siding with prosecutor sadmadhi?”

it’s because he’s hot, athena. thats the only reason anybody likes him.

tbh I'm actually pretty proud of Athena

same time last year Sadmad would have put her in a panic-stupor. but not today. Kudos on working that out, kiddo. You’re moving up!

...wait a minute

“with a little push, you could succumb to despair”

>despair

does Sadmad know? Does he know about her PTSD? If so... He’s deliberately TRYING TO TRIGGER HER SO THAT HE CAN WIN THE CASE?!

WHAT THE FUCK

oh boy!! OH BOY!! a dying message!!! THOSE ARE FOOL PROOF, AS PROVED BY EVERY SINGLE CASE IN THIS SERIES TO CONTAIN ONE!!

“That makes perfect sense, doesn't it!”

Yes... the man who suffocated to death somehow had time to leave a clue to his killer...

...you do realize that to be suffocated, the killer has to be there the whole time, right? if there’s nothing in his lungs and no trace of poison in his stomach, then it has to have been manual suffocation, either by strangulation (though we have yet to hear about any marks on his neck) or by covering his mouth and nose.

so youre implying that rather than fighting back, the old coot rearranged a bunch of playing cards... in plain view of his aggressor

yet again, Sadmad makes a brilliant fool proof deduction.

ohhh my god he’s still trying to do it. HE’S STILL TRYING TO TRIGGER HER. I SWEAR TO FUCK, he’s been tolerable–– very thinly tolerable up until now. But this is just disgusting. This is brazen, malicious cheating. I don’t care if he turns out to be jesus himself when the inevitable “urhurhur he was good all along!!” twist shows up; I’m not forgetting this.

Damnit , Athena, don’t fucking listen to him. Don’t listen to a word he fuckin says.

Man I’ve never been so happy to see Simon. Little bit of the pot-calling-the-kettle-black here since Simon’s MO is to threaten and manipulate–– err, ah, use psychology!! to influence people, but I hate Sadmad so much that I don’t care.

“To think, you were so easily manipulated by his parlour tricks...”

Watch it, Simon. You’re the lesser of two evils this time, but that doesn’t exempt you from criticism. As a psychologist, you should know WHY it worked so well on Athena and you should be SENSITIVE about it.

You’re cleared of all charges, remember?? You don’t have to pretend to be a douchebag to keep up your ill-thought-out plan anymore.

“I’m not girding up anything in this skirt!”

well i just don't know what to say to that

Oh boy here comes Uendo.

Everyone seems to love him so I’m hoping he’ll be a reprieve from Sadmad’s......... everything

Sexy pan up shot of... a guy on a bunch of flower bags. With his own theme song!

so far I'm loving his animations and I'm always a slut for shitty puns!!

let’s see... blush stickers for the goofy one, hair forwards and eyeshadow for the lady. Clever little things that make each one of his characters different. He's definitely a fun character so far!

ah I'm really enjoying his dialogue

ill bet the translators had a ball with this

won't you PLEASE laugh at my PUN!!!

its ok uendy, i thought it was good.

“Silence is more precious than diamonds”, eh?

I can definitely see which Sadmad values more...

ooh a spit take! not since godot have we been blessed... also i notice they've dialled up the rock guitar in Athena’s theme. Personally don’t see it as an improvement but eh

“yes, making it look like the man drowned was obviously because the culprit hated him and wanted to desecrate his corpse instead of getting the fuck out of there quicker like any killer would”

not to make it look like

he’d drowned in the bowl

to throw off the police.

of course not; that’d be too obvious.

another win for the great Sadlock Madholmes.

wait did Sadmad just say Objection?? I thought he didnt do that

also; duel of the growly voices

prosecutor sad monk. simon’s still a dick but at least his dickishness spreads to people i dont like :3

ooh i love it when i can rearrange physical pictures

“you can put the cards back in their right place but if you cant explain them then youre fucked”

ever thought that maybe theyre irrelevant to the case and theyre just... cards?? sadmad??

i mean i know theyre not but they could easily have just been on the table when the murder happened. they could stand for absolutely nothing.

ahh... the sweet refreshing scent of common sense. you redeem yourself step by step, simon. i mean, when youre not being a dick about it.

“don’t testify.”

franziska tried this once. it was for an evil scheme. i dont want to have to threaten another witness with revealing a dark secret; that was depressing.

but at least we know meanwhile that Sadmad isn’t above dirty shit like shutting up a witness. .......not that we didnt know that before.......

“Are you trying to taunt him into talking? Such a petty trick will never work”

POT.

CALLING.

THE KETTLE.

JET BLACK, SADFUCK.

simon’s lucky he’s surrounded by idiots and people with poor impulse control, otherwise his “mind tricks” wouldn’t do shit

“to be turned by such an obvious ploy... what a man of weak spirit.”

for once, Sadmad, I gotta agree.

its time for

Artistic!

License!

Psychologyyyyyyyyy!!!!

sadmad doesn't get his way: my god will smite you later :(((((

now that we’ve worn this non-joke out...

“seeing my master asleep just made me so fuckin sad...”

i love that anger has such a distinctive ping sound

please do not call your toe that

“You gotta fuss over every tiny detail like this?” yes, Uendo. That’s why I’m writing these !!

that box of buns keeps drawing my attention. i love buns

Simon, you could try using some positive reinforcement. Mia wasn’t soft on Phoenix, but she encouraged him to think and puzzle things out for himself; she didn’t just call him an idiot. All the time.

“as sharp as a trout”

what the fuck

“so thats how it works ! fascinating!”

its not like i spent a lot of time working under the woman who invented said matrix!

its kinda sad that Athena’s never seen multiple emotions in high dudgeon

she must hang out with a lot of mild mannered people

athena: ive just proved these words mean something detrimental to the witness

sadmad: erm but they mean nothing to me therefor they warrant no further investigation.

???

i stg most of Nahyuta’s “”””counter argumnets”””” are legitimately just him trying to disparage the obvious contradiction away.

again athena seems unable to believe that people can only feel one intense emotion at a time

should i be worried

silly AA, that’s not how DID works!

oh well, at least Uendo is the fun kind of DID, unlike other... side-splittingly shameful characters I could mention...

Pohlfuckya indeed sadmad

ROLE CALL

“You seem proud of yourself, but all youve done is infringe on the privacy of the witness”

(sweats) i hate it when Sadmad makes good points

its not really dissociative if you dont... um... dissociate.

Sadmad: let it go and––

Athena: Shut up!!

Sadmad: Let it g––

Athena: Sssh!!!

Sadmad: le––

Athena: SJSJSJSJ

“if words will not sway you, perhaps pain will”

eject

him

i dont... like that... the beads are around her torso.......

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HE FUCKIN CUT THEM IN MID AIR

that deserves a fucking cutscene all on its own. its like the time Lang caught Franziska’s whip only cool and not bulshitty

...also you coulda maybe done that a lil earlier simon lol

“I dont give two flips”

all his flips have flown the coop

“but if Cykes dono were to submit to you here...”

DO NOT

USE THE WORD SUBMIT

WHEN PRAYER BEAD BONDAGE IS INVOLVED

fuck you sadmad, not everyone has magic gary-stu powers that let them memorize everything about a single subject in one night.

once again sadmad wastes precious time and diamonds showing off

after this lengthy, lengthy, leeeeeengthy detour............ wouldyouliketoaddthisstatementtothetestimony?

“you look like a hen with a dozen eggs to say”

you can just say “constipated” and it'll be less creepy, simon

how could they... not tell... oh who cares

“we’ve got you by the stones now, Uendo!”

DAMN the TESTICLE references in this game!!!

“heres a big plot twist that i just convenientlyforgottomention urhurhurhr..”

spoken like a true prosecutor

there was such a long pause there i thought he was building up to a pun

but of course he wasnt. sadmad isn't cool at all

heheh i just noticed that Bucky has hair noodles, just like Mr. Eldoon (tho Bucky’s dont appear to be a wig)

also its... very distressing to have a drunk client.

y’know i just realized

Sadmad is always talking about sending souls to the twilight realm in the proper way. but he's an international prosecutor. he’s probably prosecuted victims of all religious alignments.

isn't it kind of disrespectful to perform your religion’s funeral rites on someone who doesn’t practice it???

again, BK is only successful because Uendo is a moron

to be fair though, that was one of his better ones.

“You were leading the witness!”

I...

Just, fuckin’. Please stop making good points, sadmad. I don’t want to be enraged with you, I want to be enraged AT You!!

...well i mean I don’t want to but i hate it when you bring up excellent points.

anyway why doesn't sadmad want them to find Owen anyway. if it comes to nothing, who cares? can you just not stand having people who aren’t you waste time??

again... DID doesn’t work like that........

macbeth, starring athena cykes and simon blackquill

hey i jusT REALIZED WHERE’S TAKA

thats,,, reallllllyy not how DID works,,,,,,,,,,,,,

highfalutin’

“if you see one, there are likely thirty in your home’

thirty what

WTHIRTY WHAT

look if you knew how DID is supposed to work you'd probably have a good hypothesis by now. not an... ethical one to implement, but a working one.

i guess Uendo just never sleeps then, because apparently falling unconscious calls out another personality.

...brilliant.

Simon: STOP BEING SO NERVOUS. IS MY NAGGING AND DISAPPOINTMENT SOOTHING YOU???? IS IT?????!!!!

the time honoured tradition of turning a slip of paper over... truly, this is an Ace Attorney game

dude.... if you conk out from the trace amounts of alcohol in a bun, you should maybe visit a doctor possibly

“hmm, yes, i will allow you to render this man unconscious from alcohol.”

classic judge!!

au where blackqyil is a very angsty delivery boy

BABY

THERE HE IS

MY PRECIOUS BIRD

I WAS SO SCARED SOEMTHING HAD HAPPENED TO YOU

...that bird is going to fly into a shop, terrorize the workers, steal bean buns and (hopefully) drop a twenty on the counter as he flies the coop

awesome

phew that was a long court... but wait if this is a half-episode (which it probably is) and it started on a court day...

no investigation?! RIP OFF

gonna cut this one off here. till next time...
