The most popular fic in the Steel Samurai fandom had an unexplained seven year hiatus only to update at like 3 am on December 21st, 2027. The author explains that they couldn’t update fic while in prison (huh?) but now that they’re off death row (WHAT??) they’ve transcribed seven years worth of writing (Jesus Christ). The update is 130k words long. Edgeworth and Maya don’t sleep that night.
sure, the three day trial system & guilty until proven innocent mindset of the courts in ace attorney prove japanifornia is a total police state, but i think the most damning thing is the total blue badger takeover. blue badger merch, blue badger at concerts, blue badger theme park, there’s a blue badger family, all of it copaganda. and you know the worst part? i love the blue badger so much. he’s so silly. i am not immune to propaganda even from the ace attorney universe
apollo’s confidence in court: oh my god i’m the worst lawyer ever my client is going to go to JAIL because i can’t even do my JOB

thought i'd drop some pwaa art i did back in may. this was when a friend was doing their first ever play-through, which completely reactivated my aa brainworms. i love the fey sisters lots
Playing around with freecam and saw that Astarion does this lil sheepish/coy/nervous playing-with-his-hands thing a lot so I made a compliation:
Most of it seems to happen during Act 1 when he's doing his over the top flirting, but there are a few moments that sort of are similar from parts of act 2 & 3
Edited to add the tadpole clip I originally missed & a couple from the "whose blood would you drink" convo and the act 2 confession
aaaand edited again after finding some more from the raphael scar dialogues
