time for skeleman

with the lack of any other info yet, all I can focus on are those Charles Lloyd-looking sunglasses. they are absolutely sending me. I feel like we're gonna fall through a tree or whatever and this stitched-up boney gentleman is gonna pop out from behind a gravestone and start serenading us with some smooth jazz on the saxophone.

or should I say...the saxoBONE???????

TGAA 2 Spoilers

Drawn for TGAA Greatest Family Week 23 Day 6: Tea + Comfort

Wherein working on a criminal investigation can be brutal, but 221B is always ready with tea and spare blankets for everyone.

This is probably the most ambitious piece I've worked on so far, but I'm so excited to share it with everyone. I will be upfront that the background was largely referenced/partially traced from an in-game screenshot as I still need a lot more practice drawing backgrounds. But I'm very happy with how the end result turned out.

Loser's Bracket: Wagahai from The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures vs Tabby Slime from Slime Rancher. Last chance for your fav!!

Need help picking? Check down here!

Wagahai - CAPCOM - 2015 - Calico cat:

(GAA1 spoilers ahead) At first owned by Soseki Natsume (yes, THAT Soseki Natsumi) who gave them to the protags when he left London for home. Their new owner Iris making a machine to make catdoors for them ends up solving a murder case. Wagahai spends a whole case loose in a courthouse because of this. Also their name is literally just one of the Japanese pronouns for "I" (as a reference to Natsume's famous book making it "the cat pronoun" but holy shit who names their cat "I"???)

Tabby Slime - Monomi Park - 2017 - Slime:

-i just wanna see them fight with other cats, besides they are just silly

-they’re very cute. that’s about it.

Sorry, it's late, I had a busy day yesterday. Please ignore the pink marks on Hedgina and Wagahai, idk how they got there.

They got fiction only pronouns over there?!

Daily Danganronpa Fun Fact #261

Monomi has a very unique first person pronoun in Japanese. She uses “achishi” (あちし), which is a pronoun only used in fiction.

I just thought ya'll would like to know that Snapes voice is described as 'a cat-petting-voice' - a PURR

I was looking to see what pronouns he used (I'm thinking watashi) but nekonadegoeda hit me like a fucking truck. I haven't found what he calls himself yet I don't think he refers to himself in the first book its always 'this class'

EDIT later on he laughs like "Chi.... Chi... Chi..." and I cannot imagine that noise coming out of Alan Rickmans mouth

EDIT 2 He uses Wagahai cat lovers rejoice

skully time paradox

⚠️ spoilers : lost in the book with tim burton's nightmare before christmas.

since the beginning, there has been multiple hints implying that skully j. graves was from a different time period.

first of all, he mentioned he was also at the port when he got pulled into the book. however, he said this after the boys discussed about the book fest and the mysterious book so it was also possible that skully was lying to us after eavesdropping.

( translated by ekala )

later, leona pointed out that skully has magic, which the latter confirms and added that he is currently attending a magic school. this leads to two conclusions; he is either from NRC or RSA.

( translated by ekala )

leona canceled out NRC as an option since none of the dorm leaders or vice-dorm leaders recognise him. jamil pointed out that skully is a mage from sage island, but is not aware of magical pens. it is unsure if RSA students use magical pens as well since their magic stones are featured as brooches on their uniforms, they are still likely to be aware of NRC students using magical pens due to their inter-school competitions. therefore, leona also canceled out RSA as an option too.

but how could this be? it doesn't make sense since there are no other magic schools on sage's island and this is a very remote island. travel time is long and tedious according to adeuce in book 4.

( translated by ekala )

pointed out by idia, skully refers to himself as 'wagahai'—which is uncommon and old-fashioned. though, it could also just be a unique quirk like idia's 'sessha' which is pointed out by azul.

( translated by ekala )

skully himself says he is 16. however, he has also expressed that he does not know malleus. this is hard to believe considering non-mage NPCs seem to be aware of who malleus is (this is later backed up by leona). hence, it can be implied that skully was from a time period before malleus was born. so he is at least 200 years old.

( translated by ekala / ekala / ekala / otome ayui / gas mask )

in conclusion: skully is a night raven college student from the past.

here comes the final confirmation by skully himself; his shocked reaction towards the diasomnia flag, the dorm names, and finally his smile towards night raven college. at this moment he was processing the fact that they were from the same school but does not recognise them as his current schoolmates, or their current view towards halloween was also different from his schoolmates.

( translated by fleurism )

when yuu told skully to hang out together or to visit the school sometime, skully replied that such a thing is impossible. this is because he knew that they don't belong in the same time period at this point.

No… I understand now. I will never meet with you lovely people again. But… We can always meet through Halloween.

( translated by acesuuu )

when we woke up from the book, he is nowhere to be seen. he is not physically in their vicinity to have been sucked into the book together.

so how was skully and the NRC boys able to meet?

my theory is pretty simple; there are 2 timelines intersecting each other.

#1 — skully chanced upon this book in the past. he met jack skellington and celebrated halloween with him. he returned without any memories and stayed static. perhaps halloween was not as popular as it is now if skully is still convinced that only his halloween is right; spending it alone in solemn solidarity—nothing like the current halloween NRC celebrates.

#2 — the NRC boys teleported to the same time skully did when they opened the book. this caused a butterfly effect where skully's image of his idol shattered in front of his eyes. he then learns to accept halloween that are different from his ideals.

Jack reinstills his ideals about Halloween not being meant to be spent alone. It’s supposed to bring fear to everyone equally, as the holiday belongs to everyone. Which tells Skully he can’t be selfish with it, basically.

( summarised by acesuuu )

when "travelers" returned from the book world, they do not remember anything and the said book would disappear. perhaps these books are controlled by fate and appear as they pleased?

despite the memory loss, they will still remember what they felt in the book and the feeling of having "met" someone.

( translated by ekala / fleurism )

this is likely the same for skully. he probably retained the feeling of spending halloween with everyone along with the vague promise of "We can always meet through Halloween" even without his memories.

aside from his passion, perhaps his dedication to speading halloween in twisted wonderland and NRC is also influenced by this "promise" as well—to reunite/connect to each other through halloween. this was why he establish halloween not just as an NRC tradition but also spread the holiday throughout all of twisted wonderland. i'm likely reaching here but i wish that the hope of a reunion was the reason :')

( translated by fleurism )

in summary, skully's experience with the present NRC boys led to the current halloween we enjoy today. the end. idk how to end this. i hope this wasn't too abrupt.

the following are side tangents about some related thoughts i had while writing this:

remember that jack skellington was not a historical figure like the great seven are. he does not exist as a real person in twisted wonderland. he was a character from a legend in skully's hometown. therefore, it makes sense why malleus has never heard of jack skellington.

( translated by ekala )

it is implied at the end that skully might be a ghost now. considering these actions, could it be possible that skully was able to recover his memories from the time he spent in the book? this scene reads to me as skully reuniting with them. or it was simply his spirit lingering around the area since he isn't visible like other ghosts OR he couldn't be seen in direct sunlight?

( translated by fleurism )

i shall wait ✨ pATiEntLY ✨ for a year for skully's card. perhaps some of these can be answered then.

i hope i managed to convey my thoughts well ;; its been a while since i wrote anything on tumblr. thank you for reading!!

[yuurei20]

Is there a significance to Riddle being the only "boku" user whose pronoun is written differently? (I think it's hiragana, but I don't know any JP, so I could be wrong.)

Hello hello! Thank you for this question! 🌹

This was briefly mentioned in a recent series about the various pronouns used by Twst's main cast!

Whereas katakana is being used with Kalim, Ruggie and others of the "ore" team to put across a more casual feeling, Riddle's use of katakana is to put across a feeling of sophistication ✨

The post above was also shared to Twitter, where a comment was received that explains this much better than I can:

"If it's between '俺' and 'オレ', then 'オレ' feels like someone with a more frivolous or casual personality, while '僕' is someone who is well bred (🐚🔥🐉), or wants to be seen as doing things properly (♣️🍎), while ボクis used by characters to give the strong impression of being a rich kid 👀"

And a new player has recently arrived on the Twst-pronoun scene 👀

If you are following JP-server Twst Halloween-event news, you may know that there is a new character coming. And he may have an all-new pronoun that we've never seen in-game before:

我輩 (wagahai) is a very old pronoun (formerly used by the noble class) that is not said anymore outside of fiction for over-the-top arrogant/old-fashioned characters.

For a similarly arrogant pronoun we have Grim's "オレ様" (ore-sama) (also said by Vargas sometimes), but the two pronouns have very different nuances: ore-sama sounds both arrogant and casual, and can be often used for a comedic feeling in fiction.

我輩 (wagahai) is more grandiose and archaic, with an old-fashioned feeling and sense of superiority based on status/lineage/social standing!

There is a lot to be inferred about this new Halloween character (assuming that he is the one using 我輩), all from their personal pronoun ^^

Propaganda and further images under the cut

Wright Anything Agency (& Company): Phoenix & Trucy Wright, Apollo Justice, Maya Fey, Miles Edgeworth, Pearl Fey, Ema Skye, Kay Faraday & Sebastian Debeste

221B Fam: Ryunosuke Naruhodo, Susato Mikotoba, Herlock Sholmes, Iris Wilson, Wagahai (& Gina Lestrade, Yujin Mikotoba, Kazuma Asogi, Barok van Zieks)

Wright Anything Agency (& Company):

THEY MEAN THE WORLDDDDD TO MEEEEEE for some reason a lot of people in the fandom don't play Ace Attorney 5 which is fair since it's kind of messy BUT. BUT. IT INTRODUCES ATHENA AND DOES SOOOO MUCH FOR THE WRIGHT ANYTHING AGENCY. In AA4 we learn that Trucy Wright made the Wright Talent Agency into the Wright Anything Agency in order to bring Apollo in as a lawyer when before it was just her (a magician) and her adopted father Phoenix (a poker player). and AA5 is all about Athena joining and Apollo learning how to trust her, at least it is to ME. they're so gooddddd aaaaaaa like you've got Phoenix and Trucy who are weirdos who love to scheme and you've got Apollo their longsuffering guy who deals with it all, and Phoenix is the mentor... and then Athena comes in and she has a lot of light and determination and trauma (just like the rest of them lol) and she's SO determined and I like her a lot!! And Trucy is my favorite and Phoenix cares about her SO much but he also has his other found family in the Feys!!!!!! Mia dies in the first game but her ghost stays with Phoenix and her sister/cousin Maya and Pearl are SO IMPORTANT TO HIM he loves them so much that's his sisters to me ;-; he would do anything for them and Trucy and he's growing as a mentor to Apollo and Athena too as the game progress... They don't write them all perfectly but they sure do a lot of things I like :) also feel free to split this up into their Wright Anything Agency or Phoenix + the Feys or Phoenix + Trucy if you need to I won't mind I just love AA's found family a lot

Picture this. You are a attorney in your mid 20s and somehow find yourself surrounded by weird little girls with every case you take on. You officially adopt one but really, all of them are either sisters or daughters to you. Especially your loud, burger-loving lesbian sister. Your childhood friend turned rival turned lover, who has a whip-wielding adoptive sister of his own, goes on a series of investigations while messing around with a furry for a couple of weeks and returns with two 17 year old children, a thieving lesbian and a child with a narcissistic murderer for a father who should've kept him back in school a few grades. Your lover has each of them under an arm, and they are appended to your stable of weird little girls but are very much hidden in the back. Then you find out that your daughter, the official one, has a 22yo trans half-brother with a musical diva mother and was half raised as a prince in Khura'in, so you divorce his boss (who is not your official lover, you just had a weird thing for a while when you were in your alcoholic phase, maybe while your actual lover was still messing around with the furry) very publicly while sending him to prison for murdering your daughter's father. Oh, but you have been disbarred, so you make your daughter's son send his own boss to prison, by planting false evidence on him. Of course the young man punches you in the face. Needless to say he works for you for a couple of years and never finds out that he's related to your daughter because that would require a straightforward conversation, now wouldn't it?

only one of them has never been arrested. only two of them arent lawyers. theyre all gay

Theyre very weird and misteruous and kinda fucked up a bit and they were through a lot but phoenix did his best and trucy well she's still just a kid but oh she's trying so fucking hard and always trying to wear a smile and it's breaking my heart the two of them. Also theyre weird i already said that but let me say it again they are WEIRD. and we love them<3 (the ace attorney fandom)

221B Fam:

I dont have much to say i am just constantly rotating them in my mind BUT i have to say the the last image i attached contains like MAJOR spoilers lol i just wanted the canon images in there

Ace Attorney has some wonderful found families, but this one's particularly special because of their circumstances. An exchange student and his unhinged weirdgirl assistant from Japan feeling so out of place in turn-of-the-century Great Britain, yet finding a completely batshit insane family during their time there...it's just so <3 <3 <3 Also Ryunosuke calls them "the greatest family in the world" and it makes my heart happy. Also they commit lots of crimes

Round 5 Group 2 finals

Shoe + Wagahai (Ace Attorney) vs Baron Humbert von Gikkingen (The Cat Returns)

[skyedancer-rae]

New fic drop! If you're looking for Iris and Ryunosuke sibling bonding and late night comfort, this fic is for you.

Summary: Iris has a nightmare where the night of Windibank's murder plays out far worse than in reality. Her fears only grow when she wakes to find that Hurley has left to attend a midnight investigation with Scotland Yard. Thankfully, Runo and Waggy are there to comfort her in the aftermath.

[science-lings]

Being annoying about each option under the cut

1- Ryunosuke has no other pictures of his bestie's face except for the one of his 'corpse' and that is Fucked Up, which is why I love it. this hc is based on the fact that during my playthrough I looked at the picture so many times bc I missed him immediately. Anyway 1-2 was the worst day of his life and the moment where he was given the photo for the first time really stuck with me.

2- They get to switch off being each other's judicial assistants and they both get to be different flavors of transmasc, I think it would be fun for them. Would they have to attend classes at Yumei to even be considered lawyers? who knows the point is they do it together and are like those cats that bond together and get sad when they get separated.

3- If they are in the same room together that sword is being switched back and forth several times, 'I think it matches your outfit today' or 'I'm on my period I shouldn't be in possession of a deadly weapon' or 'you said in the custody agreement that I get it on weekends' etc etc etc... Though it tends to go with Ryunosuke when they are separated for long periods of time. That sword is symbolic of so much gay shit in these games what's a little more.

4- my guy talks about 'the look' in Ryunosukes eyes so much during the last case, what are you looking into his eyes for? Heterosexual reasons? sure... (also 'fancy meeting you here' that is a pick-up line, you're in a prison, not a bar) Anyway his feelings towards Ryunosuke are complicated and he's so mad that at least one of the feelings in the emotional cocktail is something like attraction)

5- There's that disaster lesbian thing going on but also the situation was pretty stressful but one day she will wake up and it will hit her that her friend was still very interested in her even after she knew it was her in the disguise.

6- Sholmes keeps trying to refer to himself as 'the root of all evil' and how he's 'drawn to the darkness', he's trying so hard to be edgy but he's a six-foot-tall lanky blond man who is dramatic in the silly way and drapes himself over Ryunosuke at every opportunity. Either he's trying to build some kind of reputation or he wants to appeal to the local goth milf populace (Sithe and Tusspells) or even the reaper himself (there's some messy ex energy going on over there...)

7- I need Phoenix to inherit Karuma, he knows a bit about it but he doesn't make a big deal about it. He does have a few prosecutor friends who know the blade and are so annoyed that he's not super proud to own it. Also it's funny to me if the only family that Phoenix knows are a couple of victorian lawyers that haunt him. I think they should watch over him and be a little horrified. Ryunosuke was excited when he was intending to be a performing arts student as a fellow drama kid but it doesn't surprise him that he chose to become a lawyer. It's in his blood.

8- You cannot tell me Ryunosuke didn't want to fling himself off of that boat every night he was stuck in the room he thought Kazuma was killed in. He just didn't want to ruin Susatos trip to England by leaving her alone and he goes into a depression when she leaves for Japan, going so far as to avoid looking at the photo the 221b fam took before she left because it made him sad, which gets put up every time by Sholmes who Gets It. Meaning that he went up to the Naruhodo consulting agency regularly to check up on him. I like to think Sholmes was genuinely worried during the months he spent banned from the courtroom and without his weirdgirl who he bonded with through his best friends 'death'.

9- Wagahai is a good kitty, she can tell who the most depressed person in the building is and follows them around, sometimes Ryunosuke has a nightmare and wakes up with a cat right up by his face.

10- Ryunosuke starts the Naruhodo family tradition of not talking about their personal lives to people they care about and making their own little patchwork family for themselves. Practically all we know about his past is that he's afraid of doctors and studied English from a young age. And then like three months after going to a new country and meeting new people he's just like 'neat this is my family now :)' there is something going on there I swear. I have many conflicting ideas about what it could be specifically though.
