actually what i think would be cool is an ace attorney game where each case is its own individual mini-spinoff. first case is kristoph gavin: ace attorney a few years pre-aa4 with apollo as kristoph’s college intern and clay as the defendant. we get to learn more about clay and apollo’s friendship alongside apollo+kristoph and krisnix dynamic. we’re forced to forge evidence because there isnt anything concrete proving clay’s innocence, giving us an inside glimpse into a corrupt attorney’s life. second case is simon blackquill investigations pre-UR1 where on someone else dies at the space center and metis is accused. we see more of athena/simon/aura/metis family dynamic as well as athena and juniper’s friendship as children. manfred von karma investigations (kid miles and vk family dynamic) or lana skye investigations (pre-SL9 ema mia gant jake angel neil) or mia fey ace attorney (maya lana pearl morgan diego maybe even dahlia and iris) or robin newman ace attorney/hugh o’conner investigations (self-indulgent but would be so cute)….the possibilities are endless……just fun little ways to expand on pre-existing character dynamics that might not have been discussed too much without necessarily making an entire game revolving around those characters

truly not sorry but once again thinking abt miranda/mc/mia in RL. i need them SO bad. like, 2 of the most morally unsound persons (Mia & Miranda) + their little meow meow. Knowing both are so possessive and destructive (TO OTHERS) when they love and instead of running, fully embracing the chaos of it. Loving them despite their delusions of grandeur, the crimes, the secrets, and the deaths (+ undeaths) caused (or ordered!) by their hands. Acknowledging this is fucked up but you can't help it. Lovingly bitching abt their fights but fully done and gone to do anything else but to soothe and continue loving them, because after all those years of waiting and doing and redoing everything to be perfect was worth it for this.

also did i mention being their little meow meow. sorry Miranda, MC was the original gremlin in the relationship and Mia being the fucked up feral racoon she is now is not solely by her doing, MC was and IS the enabler in both relationships that it bled over sm and OUGHJJJJJHHHHhhhh im being so emo abt three (3) women being utter menaces frfr

. . . i'm too aro for this

could you imagine if the reason kristoph and dahlia parallel each other is because she was haunting him

ok she-

so when ollie definitely went to mia's parent-teacher conference what do u think the reaction was

was it "oh your dad is that weirdo who cosplays robin hood?" or was it "i thought oliver queen was dead..." or was it "oh your dad is a dilf" or was it all of the above. cause i think i know the answer

mia is getting a migraine from it meanwhile ollie is totally oblivious but having the time of his life while the teachers tell him how good a student mia is

Characters haunting the narrative in the Ace Attorney trilogy:

In AA1, it's Gregory Edgeworth and Misty Fey. Misty Fey isn't even dead yet she's just getting some practice in. Misty and Gregory's deaths (metaphorical in Misty's case, literal in Gregory's) drive the whole narrative.

Misty's absence is what drove Mia to become a lawyer, and what drove her to investigate Bluecorp, which drove her to be killed. Misty's presence is felt throughout all of Turnabout Sisters, despite us knowing next to nothing about her. Misty haunted Mia, who pushed the narrative to put her to rest in herself.

And of course, Gregory's death was the catalyst for AA even existing; his ghost haunts Miles in everything he does, and Von Karma is still taking revenge on that ghost. He can be felt throughout the whole game, but Turnabout Goodbyes specifically. Again, despite us knowing next to nothing about him, he's the driving force of the whole story. And it isn't until Miles confronts his ghost head-on that he stops haunting him. But he never stops haunting Von Karma. Von Karma clings to him until the bitter end.

In Justice for All, it's Miles Edgeworth, actually. Again, the ghosts don't actually have to be dead, as long as people act like they are. And act like it people do. Phoenix refuses to so much as hear his name, and he is Franziska's whole reason for being here. Phoenix's bitterness regarding Miles' supposed death is something he drags along through the whole of JFA, and clouds every interaction he has with Franziska.

When Edgeworth finally appears he is very much treated like a ghost coming back to life, and Phoenix refuses to accept him. Even as Edgeworth becomes an active character once mmore, Phoenix still carries his ghost around. The weight of his death (in Phoenix's eyes, a supposed betrayal) informs every interaction he has with Phoenix. Even when he's there, his spectre, the one who was supposed to be dead, lingers. The idea of Miles Edgeworth's death only stops haunting the narrative when Phoenix stops letting it.

And in Trials and Tribulations, it's Mia Fey and, to a lesser extent, Diego Armando. Mia Fey has actually not been haunting the narrative up until this point; not even in the case where she died. She's been a full blown character, albeit a ghostly one. She actively influences the story in the way a haunting character couldn't. (This is also why Dahlia Hawthorne doesn't haunt this game: she's actively pushing it.)

But in Trials and Tribulations, she haunts Godot. Godot is more haunted than any other character, in fact. He is haunted by Mia, who he loved, but who moved on without him, and was killed without him. And he is, of course, haunted by Diego Armando, the ghost of who he used to be, who was already dead when he woke up. The world had long since treated him as such.

For the first time, Mia cannot control her ghost. She has no say in what Godot carries with him, can't tell him to check the back of a piece of paper for a magic solution. Mia's death is louder than it ever was, and she truly haunts the narrative as a result, pushing every one of Godot's actions as he, in turn, pushes the narrative.

Godot controls the narrative of T&T, and in return, he is controlled by the ghosts of Diego Armando and Mia Fey. Until he isn't. Until he finally accepts that Mia's ghost has long since moved on, and lives on in Phoenix. Until he accepts that Diego never died, and is simply playing dress-up.

The thing about ghosts is that they need someone to haunt, and they can only haunt you for as long as you let them.

erm…

hotd mamma mia au. Discuss

its because i read a josuyasu fic the other day (i wanted to see what it was like)(not my thing as it turns out btw) and the narration be it from josukes pov or okuyasus KEPTTT commenting on how pretty and cute and handsome both of them are and like i get it but we have to be real. okuyasu is not that. and while josuke is canonically (as far as i can remember) a popular and handsome guy i dont think okuyasu would keep 1) noticing it 2) mentioning it 3) be angsty about it like ..?? but well who am i to know i suppose.

all this + my insistence that karin is a weird and ugly girl etc etc to say. maybe i am a little tired of how prominent a beautiful physical appearance is in fics and the like. i mean i understand the idea of an ugly person being beautiful in the eyes of someone who loves them but like i dont know sometimes its a little much i guess. its fine to be ugly i love for characters to be ugly. aren is the most charming guy at pk and still ugly
