#ESPECIALLY an Ace Attorney style one

[ethereal-feline]

gonna dig through my ao3 history because I remembered an ace attorney fic but it might actually be 2 different ones. I just remember reading a fic where one of the characters died and they were picking out an urn(might have been Trucy who died). in the other(?) Phoenix dies of a heart attack mid trial

If I don't find these I might just write an Ace Attorney fanfic or 3 myself. I do have a Rise of the TMNT crossover in storage to polish up

I felt like i needed to express this thing i noticed again in another form

Ok actually one thing that really really bothers me about how widespread people are negatively reacting to the anime just for the fact that anime onlys are going to be in the fandom is like

This is going to make TWST so much more accessible

Like… not everyone can sit down for several hours and read a visual novel. It’s very time and focus intensive. Not everyone can read logs of the dialogue on wikis, either. There are several people who are unable to enjoy this story based solely on medium. A good example is my qpp; he loves TWST. He loves the story. He loves the characters. But he can’t get past Book 3 because the format is completely inaccessible to him. He’s tried. I’ve tried with him. He just… cannot do it. The novels are a godsend because it’s a way he can finally read the story in a format that works for him. The anime will also help a lot because he’ll be able to hear the voice acting, which is a very important part of TWST’s story telling.

Or even just in general, I don’t think I need to post about how I Like Horror, but I am unable to read anything longer than a short story. In particular, I am almost fully unable to read King because of how incompatible his writing style is- despite really wanting to. I have tried and failed to read Pet Sematery more times than I can count. The 80’s movie, though? I love it. It lets me experience a very important work to the genre in ways I would otherwise be completely unable to. Same with Misery.

Like… it’s super frustrating to see people advocate for story accessibility in things like video games, only to turn around and say “except for things I LIKE, they’ll get my favs wrong!!!” Especially when it’s in a fairly inaccessible medium.

I especially have a bone to pick with Idia fans I see on Twitter doing this. There’s a lot of fear “normies” will be ableist about their favorite cartoon character, while… in the process being extremely ableist to actual human beings. It’s extremely frustrating and upsetting to see people prioritize their (heavily mentally disabled, I might add) favorite fictional character over actual irl disabled people. I don’t think people, especially autistic people who can’t do VNs, should be limited from a beautiful story just because other people you can block Might Make Incel Jokes.

(My qpp? He’s autistic. And schizophrenic. And has CPTSD. He relates a LOT to Idia just from what I’ve told him about her and her arc.)

Like… get your fucking priorities straight. I was hyperfixated on Danganronpa when the DR1 anime came out. I was hyperfixated on Persona 4 when the P4 anime came out. Ace Attorney has been one of my absolute favorite series since middle school, and I was going through my obligatory hyperfixation phase I have every few years when the AA anime came out. I massively prefer the YuGiOh manga to the DM anime.

Anime onlys are EXTREMELY easy to avoid and are not the fucking end of the world.

Especially in a fandom with so many autistic people. Have some empathy for disabled people who have different symptoms than you do.

do you have any strong opinions about the localization of the ace attorney series? they've definitely made a lot of strong decisions with it.

I don't speak japanese myself so I find it hard to have strong opinions on the localization; without knowing what it had to work with and where it deviated there's not much to be said

this post is a really interesting breakdown of every character's speech patterns in japanese that i reference a lotttttt. in particular i think these notes about apollo are super interesting because they suggest a character that is i think pretty different than how the english fandom tends to see him and one that i think is much more interesting to boot.

Refers to himself as: “Ore”, in Katakana, which is actually a lot more common for teenagers to use than for grown men and underlines that he’s still immature and trying to be a show-off in a lot of ways. The Katakana put additional “harshness” and emphasis on it. It makes him sound like a teenage boy trying way too hard to be taken seriously, even though he’s in his 20s and using more professional language in court would probably be more appropriate. It shows that his hot-headed emotions often overrule his common sense.  His Speech-style: He…. Makes an *attempt* to sound like a professional lawyer, but his teenage-style dialect comes through a lot, with a lot of “ze”s making their way into especially his internal monologue. He’s also quick to make a variety of surprised noises when anything he didn’t expect or didn’t ant to happen happens. It’s actually kind of adorable. While he can speak in “Desu-Masu” just fine when he wants to, in private his way of talking is anything but polite or formal, and he’s a LOT more prone to yelling “curse-words” such as “Kuso” or “Chikusho” when something bad happens than any other of the playable characters so far are.  Notes: Because not much from his speech style described above carried over into the translation all too well, he ended up sounding like Phoenix in the English version. I assure you, that is not the case in Japanese. Japanese Phoenix sounds like a calm, mind-mannered young man with a snarky streak. Apollo sounds like a short-tempered, sarcastic little shit, who’s trying way too hard to stay rational and constantly fighting his own temper doing so. 

anyway one localizaton tidbit in particular i really like is that susato and ryuunosuke will switch between using mr./ms. and -san when referring to other characters depending on whether they're supposed to be thinking and speaking in japanese or in english. i think that's a really great touch.

on the more negative side. i think eustace winner is a stupid name. its so stupid. you could have at least called him eustace victor.

[24-7fandombrain]

A list of things I'd want to see in a possible Great Ace Attorney 3 (MAJOR spoilers for the first two games, especially Resolve):

A case based on The Final Problem (I imagine Sholmes being the victim and then dramatically bursting through the courtroom doors still alive just as a guilty verdict is about to be passed)

Related to ^, a TGAA version of Moriarty

UNrelated to ^, a TGAA version of Mrs. Hudson (genuinely if this is the only thing on my list that ever becomes canon I'll be happy)

A flashback case to Sholmes and Mikotoba's partnership where we also get to know Genshin and Klint (and younger designs for all of them (except Gregson, he should stay exactly the same von Karma-style))

Kazuma as a defendant (preferably in the final case to bring the trilogy full circle)

Van Zieks gets to actually use the sword he always carries (in my head it's either to dual Kazuma or protect Ryunosuke)

A dance of deduction where Sholmes actually gets everything right the first time and it genuinely upsets him that now Ryunosuke can't dance with him

Van Zieks being a good uncle to Iris

More backstory about Susato's mother

The return of Ryutaro Naruhodo (I think it would be funny if the first case is Ryunosuke getting arrested again and Susato ends up defending him)

Soseki gets arrested again

Kazuma and Van Zieks prosecute alternating cases

BRING HOSONAGA BACK AS A MAJOR CHARACTER PLEASE CAPCOM I'M LITERALLY BEGGING YOU

Susato gets arrested to complete the Maya parallel

Sholmes winds up having to testify in court. It does not go well

Ryunosuke walks away from what should be a life-threatening situation with a mild injury Phoenix-style

Ryunosuke wanting to but struggling to trust Kazuma again and wondering if he ever even really knew him in the aftermath of finding out he was an assassin

There's a murder on the SS Burya (for real this time) and Ryunosuke checks for the victim's pulse himself and Sholmes just throws his hands up in the air and yells, "It was one time!"

Attachment issues!Ryunosuke

Add more in the reblogs I'd love to hear other people's ideas for a third game

referencing my favorite ace attorney video i cant find anymore-

id under the cut

[ID: a comic drawn on four images in a sketchy chibi style in gray scale.

image one consists of 3 panels. panel 1: YJH with his arms crossed, eyes closed, saying "i love women and having sex with women only. never had sex with a man. never will and i do not want to. i would not lie about this.” panel 2: HSY with her arms crossed, a questioning look, saying: “? you literally had sex with the other guy in this story you idiot. kim dickja or whatever.” panel 3: YJH with a look of indignation: “...”

image two consists of 3 panels. panel 1: YJH indignated, shouting (in all caps): “wh- literally who told you that. thats blatantly (underlined) untrue. i dont have sex with men, especially not him (underlined)” panel 2: HSY with her hands raised, angrily: “(in caps) you say this every time. (end caps) you have had sex with men before literally an undeniable fact. what is wrong (caps) with you. you are gay (caps) and flaming (caps)” panel 3: YJH, angrily, one finger raised: “name one (underlined) time (underlined) i had gay sex with another man. ill wait.”

image three consists of 5 panels. panel 1: HSY, one hand raised, eyes closed and a smug grin: “please. i (underlined) dont need to. hey dickja or whatever your name is i dont care. when is the last time you had sex with jooncock?” panel 2: KDJ, desinterested, looking at his phone: “uh last week i think?” an arrow is pointing at him, labeled “only half listening” panel 3: HSY, expression a mix of surprise and disgust: “...” panel 4: KDJ looking desinterested at his phone, loading throbber next to him. panel 5: KDJ with eyes wide in shock, throbber bursting next to him

image four consists of one panel. three big spiky speech bubbles, reading in all caps: “kim dokja get back here” “no i think biyoo called i-” “kim dokja!” HSY in the lower right hand corner is laughing with tears in her eyes, the “laughing crying” cursed emoji overlayed next to her. the background of the panel is filled with starstream messages along the lines of [the demon-like judge of fire is crying tears of joy] [200 coins have been sponsored.] [the queen of the dark-] the messages are cut off by the edges of the canvas and mostly covered by the large speech bubbles.

I love all the fun and unique ways you draw fanart of characters from ace attorney (and other things) but my favourite detail by far is you giving Maya purple eyes.

It really ties her whole design together super well, given it's her main colour, and I assume that's why you draw her with purple eyes, plus it's also just a cool eye colour in general.

OMG I GET TO TALK ABOUT MY LEAST/MOST FAVORITE THING EVER: COLORS!!!

One thing that many ppl realize about me is that: i have a VERY short attention span. I get lazy when things take too long, even if i enjoy it!

SO! When designing each character in my style, i like to make it so they are easy to color bc it’s so tedious to me, especially cus i make animations and comics rather than full pieces!

This means that all the colors match to SOME OTHER thing on them!

BUT!!! Theres MORE to it! Bc despite my love for ease and swift-art? I LOVE SYMBOLISM EVEN MORE!!!!

These two for example: Have eachother’s color palette match something on the other’s!

All of the mother kids have the same red or yellow or blue on them! Save for claus who has a cyan to differentiate him from the actual protagonists, yet still being a form of blue because. well.

Do I have an hour to explain?

Lol anyways I do this with every character like as far back as when I was in Madness Combat. Hell when I first Joined the Good Omens fandome too!

✦ Random ace attorney drawings ✦

A bit ago I felt like drawing a bunch of ace attorney fanart (but didn't post it till now cuz it's been raining the last few days (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠)) and this is the result.

First I drew Franziska is an outfit I saw a random person wearing down the street and thought "That's definitely Franziska's casual style!", I did change the colours though as the original outfit was a black turtleneck with a brown skirt, plus I added the earrings, necklace and sunglasses :3.

Then I drew a comic of Simon and Eustace interacting. Simon is of course defending Athena bullying Eustace, but don't worry because he'll definitely be co counsel in the trial to both support his co-worker and annoy Athena XD. Also sorry for my messy writing, idk why it's worse then usual (TT O TT).

And I also realised as I was drawing Eustace I needed to change his outfit because he wouldn't be in school at this point (which is vaguely post AA6), but I definitely want to try and design something a bit better then red shirt and overalls, as I only did that to make him stand out from everyone wearing suits (especially double breasted ones, why are those so common!?) and there are definitely better ways to achieve that I'm sure.

Lastly I drew Kay "stealing" Maya. I like to think she achieved this by being a Plumbed Punisher fan (though her fave is still the Jamin' Ninja). Overall I had fun with all these drawings, especially since I drew Eustace for first time and decided to try doing black colour with my liners instead of a black crayon (as I've noticed that black can muddy up the rest of the drawing badly) and so far I really like how this looks :D.

Now for some close up pics if you're interested.

[sleeps-au-bag]

yuu manages to get all of their gaming systems from their world working in twisted wonderland. she connected them all with the help of ortho and now has access to all her games again. he uses this opportunity to introduce his friends to some games and gets them hooked on some.

yuu: really likes the honkai games and sometimes dabbles in genshin when they're interested in what's going on. long time main game pokemon fan (favorites are the sun and moon games). has both ensekai and jpsekai. occasionally plays sky but gets frustrated with the flying mechanic. loved the digital devil saga games when they came out and recently started playing p3r. still waiting to get unbanned from roblox.

ace: fell in love with the persona games, especially the ones under the smt persona ip. the persona 2 duology are her favorites. she has a roblox account but barely uses it. she plays wuthering waves a lot. modded minecraft truther right here. really good at solitaire, unsurprisingly. absolutely adores love nikki and the other games in the franchise.

deuce: he'd probably like games like smash bros and mario kart. also peaceful farming games too, he just seems like the type to like them. yuu introduced him to choose your own adventure games and he's been hooked ever since. they're his favorite type of genre and his favorite has to be telltale games' the walking dead.

riddle: big reverse:1999 fan, is in love with the story and character designs. ace made her play shin megami tensei iii: nocturne and she'll replay it sometimes. also adores love nikki but also adores the style savvy franchise games too. the moment she found ace attorney, it was like finding an oasis in the desert. unexpectedly liked bayonetta and has played all three games.

jack: he doesn't play video games that much, even before yuu introduced him to the ones of their world. he's just not interested in them but he occasionally plays minecraft with ace or sky with yuu.

epel: he won't admit it, but he loves lollipop chainsaw. he'll finish the game and then immediately start replaying it. he also likes farming simulator but lollipop chainsaw takes the cake. he plays the sonic games too but only because of the fandubs. if he gets to a cutscene, he'll sometimes quote the fandubs over the actual dub.

ortho: he's currently gatekeeping every single gacha game from idia while he plays them himself. he doesn't exactly have a favorite game but he definitely likes turn-based strategy games more than other types of games. he plays pokemon masters ex the most often and project sekai is right after it. he modded everyone 3ds'.

sebek: he mostly plays retro games and likes ocarina of time the most. he also likes old strategy games like the first fire emblem game and the first shin megami tensei game. he doesn't play often because of his duties as a personal knight of malleus, but sometimes he'll play pokemon red/blue with yuu. he was dared to play a dating sim one time and vowed to never again play one again.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

iirc I think you said you don’t like Trey and Malleus’s hair but somehow excuse Rollo’s hair 😨 so where does everyone else stand if you were judging them based only on physical appearance?

Disclaimers: I'm not including any Yuus (like, from the manga), mob students, reused assets (ie ghosts and pixies), or characters that we've only gotten the silhouettes for (that means no Mrs. Rosehearts, no Farena/Falena, no Zigvolt parents, etc.). I am only giving my thoughts on the looks of named characters with fully realized designs. If there is a significant variation of their hairstyle I like, I'll make note of it. Additionally, I will be commenting on general style rather than on individual outfits. This also involves official in-game artwork only; it is NOT inclusive of merch artwork or fan art since those can vary widely.

These are my opinions, please don't take them too seriously. I think all the designs work as is to convey the background and personality of each character, but everyone will have different tastes and preferences in terms of visual design; these are just mine! (And remember, just because I may like how a character looks doesn’t mean I like the character overall!!)

***PLEASE NOTE: This post contains spoilers for the main story and events that have yet to be released in EN!!***

Pretty

Jade - I'll admit that it took me a while to get used to his haircut (I typically don't go for the super short bangs), but it grew on me! I really like his face in particular; it can be very calm and pleasant but also mischievous and sinister. When he's angry or upset, it's much more subtle and hard to read in his face. That's something I can really appreciate. It all works very well with his neat, tidy, and unassuming appearance.

Jamil, Najma - THE VIPER FAMILY HAS SUCH GOOD GENES, just look at their luscious hair and mysterious, dark eyes... They dress so well too, I love all the hair accessories and flowy fabrics the Viper siblings have.

Meleanor - Malleus's mom has got it goin' on 🙃 She really kills the warrior princess look! Very imposing, yet elegant. I can totally understand why Lilia used to crush on her.

Fellow - Not usually a fan of gingers (and nor do I simp for fox man), but there's just something so charming about Fellow's face. I think it's the eyes and his self-assured, fun-loving smile. His outfit's snazzy and he makes it work so well! I especially like the cravat, spats, and the cape hanging off one shoulder.

Cool

Leona - OKAY FINE I'LL ADMIT HE'S HANDSOME, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW????? 😭 As much as I want to wrestle Leona, I have to admit that he has a very striking face (especially when he smirks) and powerful presence. He knows how to command a room (and he’s just about the threshold of muscle I’m willing to accept). I'm not really into hair past shoulder length or how he usually dresses, but what I think is the coolest about him are his eyes. It feels like they'll follow you everywhere. Ponytail Leona is the best Leona, in my opinion.

Ortho - I was debating between putting Ortho in "Cool" or "Cute", but ultimately went with "Cool" because he by far has the most unique look of the entire cast. I love learning about his different Gears and their functions, each one different than the last. I don't find the pale skin and blue hair as off-putting on Ortho as I do on Idia, and I think that's because Ortho's more child-like.

Crowley - His aesthetic is nice! I find the bird mask really goofy and his hair a literal rat's nest (DON'T @ ME, IT LOOKS LIKE LIMP SEAWEED), but his suit and cape are so dapper! All the keys and mirrors would look gaudy on any other character, but they fit so well for Crowley. The extra shiny details give him an air of mystery, like threads of light peeking through the dark.

Trein- Trein's robes and cravat make him look so classy and regal! The colors also remind me of Edgeworth from Ace Attorney-- He looks very stern at first glance, but when he gives his little smiles you can tell how much he really cares.

Sam - He's way overdressed for running an on-campus school general store but hey, it works for him. There's lots of little details I enjoy in his design, from the stitching on his top hat to the locs he sports.

Cute

Lucius, Grim - LIL' KITTY CATS 🥺 I especially think Grim is adorable whenever he gets a new themed bow or a whole ass outfit like in the Halloween events!

Chenya - His haircut is so uneven but I commend his style. Chenya's look isn't too busy; his jewelry and decorative patches are spread out so they don't crowd for your attention. Gotta love those callbacks to Alice in Wonderland! This might sound weird, but there's power in his plain white shirt half-buttoned and loosely tucked into his pants; it gives the right amount of casualness to feel "accidentally stylish". There's also just something really whimsical about how cat-like his facial expressions and gestures are. It's quite endearing!

Ruggie - His hair looks perfect for ruffling! The fact that he often dresses in hand-me-downs and Leona's oversized clothing makes him appear "small" and even cuter. Pair that with Ruggie's crooked little smile, and it's perfect. I like that his build is lankier than those of the other Savanaclaw students; it makes him appear less intimidating on an initial evaluation.

Cheka - Have you SEEN Cheka?????? How does your heart not melt at the sight of him 😭 I adore his little :3 face and how he shines when he's innocently asking Ojitan to hang out with him...

Floyd - I feel like I kind of have to put Floyd in "Cute" since he's Jade's twin. Floyd just places lower because I find his eye shape less cute and his personal style doesn't really align with my tastes.

Kalim - This type of hair isn't usually my jam, but Kalim dresses it up well with a headband/scarf (?) and jewerly. When he moves, I imagine that the jewelry is jingling its own song. Kalim always seems to be smiling, so just looking at him puts me in a good mood too. His fashion choices tend to be extravagant and not very viable for everyday wear, but it's fine as long as Jamil stops him from making impulsive decisions.

Rook - I actually don't like his bob (I prefer it in an awkward little ponytail), but his face--especially the mouth--is beautiful. I BEG OF YOU, LOOK AT HIS CEREMONIAL ROBES GROOVY. Rook can be so expressive, it's like he's a one-man play. Alas... He looks naked without a hat :(( but I appreciate the mystery of covering up his limbs for the most part so we can’t see how truly muscular he is.

Lilia - Peepaw really stands out from the rest of Diasomnia; he doesn't come off as scary right away, he just relished in how adorable he is and is confident in that. Lilia's shorter stature and more experimental style certainly plays into that uniqueness too. It's fun to see what he comes up with! I especially love that he wears more traditionally feminine things like tulle skirts and gathered fabrics, and even dyes his hair and paints his nails in various colors. The cut itself is a bit of a clusterfuck when I first saw it, but I've really grown fond of it over time. It's such a bright expression of who Lilia is. I can't say if I prefer his long ponytail or the shorter trim; both are good!

Sebek - Like Jade, Sebek is also very well-put together. I like him with both his hair up and down; each has its unique appeal! With his hair up, Sebek appears much fiercer. With his hair down, he reminds me more of a puppy drenched from the rain. I feel like even though his face can be menacing, his smile overpowers how scary he can be. It feels so pure, clashing with his usual attitude... (His pathetic/sad expressions are also cute, but don't let him know I said that.)

Marja - Sweet granny... She looks so kind and cozy, I just wanna give her a hug.

Rollo - I’m a bowl cut apologist, what of it 😭 I like how he's so straight-laced and proper in his dress. It goes together with his face very well. Moreover, the dark eye bags and pinched, stern mouth only add to his charm. Rollo can go from neutral to devious smirk to a flash of anger--it's so interesting to observe how his face contorts.

Gidel - He looks like a mix of Ruggie and Cheka, so by default Gidel goes in "Cute". His oversized sleeves, patchwork pants, and mismatched socks give him such character!

Dylla - ANOTHER ATTRACTIVE MOM!!! Her clothing is more on the tomboyish side, but she still wears them well. Dylla's face in particular is really stunning; I get a mature big sis vibe from her.

Mid

Ace, Deuce- The most generic hair styles of the entire cast. I don’t have much else to remark on. What I will say is that I prefer Deuce’s hair slicked back (which happens in a lot of gan arts) more than his standard hair.

Azul - I don't know how else to say this, but I think Azul is handsome but in heavily regulated manner... to the point where it doesn't feel natural?? Like yes, he obviously cares about his appearance, it just feels "too" controlled of a narrative to me. The same goes for his smiles. Like Eliza says, he does it too much, so it feels fake.

Crewel - His hair and mostly monochromatic color scheme with splashes of crimson is cool, but I'm not into his clothing. It's very jarring to see his hair and vest color blocked, and I don't find his big flashy fur coat appealing.

Neige - He's wearing such an ugly sweater, but the innocence of his face evens things out. I find Neige cute in that generically sweet way, and for that I cannot place him higher than "Mid".

Epel- Same "generically sweet" cuteness as Neige. I do like his colors though.

Silver - Also has very generic hair. Silver just looks like Some Guy to me (although I will say his lopsided smile is cute). I’m slightly put off by the super muscular arms in his PE uniform too.

Eliza - I think Eliza could be a lot more appealing if they hadn't presented her to us in such a different style. Like the generic ghost NPCs, she's drawn more like a western cartoon rather than like an anime so she feels "off" from the rest of the named cast. Because there isn't unity between her and the characters she is shown with, Eliza sticks out like a sore thumb. I gotta hand it to her though, she still slays in that tattered wedding dress.

Fairy Queen - Love how the buns in her hair resemble roses, and how her entire body looks like it's golden and glowing from within. I wish her dress was more detailed though, more fitting for a queen.

Don't Like, but Could be Worse

Riddle - ROACH ANTENNAE........ . .. ... . . .... . ...... . .. . . . .. .... . .. Oh, and he looks so funky when he gets all red in the face.

Vil - For as much as we're told he's beautiful, I don't find Vil's brand of beauty to be digestible. He comes off too strongly, if that makes sense??? 20 cm heels, face beat to the gods with makeup, carrying himself at all times like there's a camera pointed at him and he has to pose 24/7 (look at most of his groovies)... It's hard for me to get behind that, it feels too overwhelming.

Eric Venue - My guy has the same sort of severe-ish facial structure as his son. Also not a fan of facial hair.

Seven Dwarves - I find most of the dwarves way too cartoonish, and not in a cute way. I think the only design I genuinely find okayish is Timmy (the timid dwarf).

Ambrose - He's an older gentleman in his wizard Halloween costume. I find his design sort of... generic??? But I'm knocking him down a little because I also find his overall appearance to be goofy and unflattering.

Idia - I DON'T CARE WHAT THE MAGICAL ARCHIVES OR ELIZA SAY, MAN LOOKS LIKE A WALKING CORPSE AND THAT AIN'T CUTE 😭

Shroud parents - Cool helmets, but I wish we actually got to see their faces.

Baul - I find Sebek's hair color more pleasing to the eye. Baul has a lot of other elements that Sebek doesn't (due to Baul being full fae and Sebek being half), and I find that they overcomplicate his design. It's hard for me to focus on his face because there's just so much to take in, from the scaley beard and more voluminous hair to the fangs and pointed ears.

Dawn Knight - This is the "bro, can I copy your homework" / "sure, but be sure to change it a little so the teacher doesn't notice" meme. I wish the Dawn Knight wasn't just long-haired, recolored Silver (with the exact same voice actor too). I would place the Dawn Knight in "Mid", but that armor is not doing him any favors. It's way too excessive with all the wings.

Kifaji - The big brows and the really long goatee make me go "???"

Actively Dislike

Trey - His hair reminds me of a freshly mowed lawn. Trey's design is otherwise inoffensive to me, but that hair color and cut are bringing him down so much. The only memorable thing about how he presents are those rare moments when he whips out his one brow raised smirks, and even then I think he looks slightly silly and it's hard to take him seriously.

Cater - Again, it's the hair for me. I like it better when it's all down (like in his Club Wear card). In his usual hairdo, there's a middle segment that's weirdly pulled back from the rest of his face in a... scruffy ponytail??? That really bothers me. I don't vibe with his usual style of dress or how he presents himself either, it's a bit too... lax?? (I know I said the same thing about Floyd, but he looks similar to Jade and therefore gets a pass).

BURN WITH FIRE

Jack - He commits the sin of having a confusingly styled mullet and has a muscular physique which don't bode well for my tastes. I guess he does have those "looks intimidating, but is actually a softie at heart" vibes going for him, but I just cannot look past the haircut I'M SORRY.

Malleus - I'm not into super pale emo/goth guys, and Malleus somehow presents as even more of that than Idia. He dresses in mostly black (and while there is a lore reason for this, that doesn't make me like the color any more or less), has a sort of mopey face (I guess it's supposed to be elegant, but I don't perceive it as that), and dear god that haircut and the ashy grey lips… It doesn’t help that the expressions he makes (particularly on his birthday cards) give really strong “are u lost bby ghorl” energy and that weirds me out 💀 So many things about him just don't work for me.

Vargas - Too muscular. Also not a fan of facial hair or athletic wear. Vargas doesn't seem to have a very keen fashion sense either, judging by the outfits he put together for his camp events.

Heinrich - His face is very grotesque and twists into making some of the most comedically evil and smug expressions I've ever witnessed in all of TWST.

How the LADS men would react to some of my favorite games

All x Reader (separately, and it's not the main focus)

Picking out games for them all was kinda difficult, bc I have so many favorites and I wasn't sure what they'd react to or how they'd react. But I'm pretty happy with these

Based on this post

Warnings: crackfic (kinda?), one horror game, slight angst with Zayne, swearing

Main Masterlist

Love and Deepspace Masterlist

AO3

Tag List Form (Psst fill this out to be tagged in future fics! - Updated to include Xavier)

Xavier:

I think Xavier would love The Outer Worlds

I mean,, it’s a game that takes place entirely in another solar system where you crash land in an escape pod on a strange planet and gotta figure out how people here work without letting them know you’re “not from here”

They literally call the player “The Stranger”

I think he’d love looking up at the sky in game

Every one of the sky boxes is gorgeous but Emerald Vale especially

I think he’d find a safe area in game and put it on just to stare up at the sky (and fall asleep too)

Tries to choose the best outcome for every situation

Which means fucking over the government and not feeling an ounce of guilt for it

But fucking over the underdogs even for a minute feels awful

Has to ask you which choice is better or how to get the best outcome

Scarily good at fighting with melee weapons

Esp considering the heavy reliance on guns

Accidentally min-maxes the characters

He’d also love Coffee Talk

The music is so calming he usually ends up falling asleep to it

Spends a lot of time and consideration into every drink

Draws a little bunny in the lattes every single time

Probably accidentally clocks the plot twist of the game on the very first run

Tries making you the drinks irl and uhhhh he shouldn’t

-

Zayne:

Of the games I’ve played, I think The Silent Age would be very interesting for him

Helps solve the puzzles (even if you’ve played it before)

Says he finds the art style to be “charming”

Sits through every piece of dialogue no matter how long and doesn’t go forward until he comprehends it

Gets so concerned when Joe starts coughing

Generally doesn’t like seeing the bodies

It makes him unsettled and has him thinking about those he’s lost to such gruesome deaths

The twist at the end absolutely fascinates him so much

And the SECOND twist pulls him out of it

Was lowkey hoping it would be something more… fantastical

But does have to admit that horror in the now-mundane is interesting too

I also would LOVE to watch him play Ace Attorney

Could you IMAGINE???

“This is illegal.” “I know, but so is murder.” “They don’t cancel out, you know.”

“If somebody on the witness stand is overreacting that much to one small detail, I think the judge should be a little more concerned about it.”

He’d kinda love Miles Edgeworth ngl

Understands exactly what he means with the entire “unnecessary feelings” business

Wishes the autopsy reports were more in depth, for his own amusement

Accidentally says “objection” when you’re trying to lie to him about not taking care of yourself

Can’t live it down for the next week, at LEAST

-

Sylus:

Little Nightmares, straight up

He finds the concept absolutely fascinating

Doesn’t play, but enjoys watching you play

“Careful, kitten. His long arms almost grabbed you.” “YES, THANK YOU, I NOTICED.”

Loves to see you so panicked and freaked out

Laughs if something small makes you jump out of your skin

But he does try to comfort you after chase sequences when it feels like you’re having a heart attack

Pulls you into his lap and promises to protect you

Will not complain if you choose to stay there for the rest of the game

Helps you solve puzzles if you’re struggling with them for too long

But he always asks to know if you want the answer

He doesn’t need you pouting and upset just because you couldn’t figure out how to do something relatively simple

Warns the twins not to scare you for a while

For their own safety tbh

You have a gun and you WILL use it

He’d also like watching you play Animal Crossing

You can and will bully him into joining

Will catch the scary or difficult bugs for you if you’re struggling

Doesn’t need to look up any guides to find the real artworks

The very second he can get his hands on the cat cap, it’s going to you

Might ask what color you want, but he’s more likely to pick it for you so its a surprise

Wraps it up too

“Sweetie, I got you a gift.” “Awe, really?.... Really, Sylus?” “Put it on, kitten.”

Luke and Kieran have their own town

It’s extremely flushed out and scary how impressive it is

Runs turnips with them so you have nearly a billion Bells to spend on anything you want

He lets you design his house, even if you make it silly

-

Rafayel:

Tell me why my first thought was Pokemon Art Academy

He would love it tho

Sitting on the couch together, watching over your shoulder as you follow the tutorials to draw the Pokemon

They turn out like shit but he claims to love them

Passing it over to him is a bad idea, but he won’t stop whining until you do

Creates an entire masterpiece

That creature is in a damn candid shot, shaded and everything

You should have known it was a terrible idea to show him the game

When he doesn’t feel like painting or just needs a break for his mind, he’ll play it

Honestly I see him at one of his own exhibitions, standing in the corner and playing it

Thomas complains to you about it all the time

Rafayel texts you about how much the Pokemon miss you and want you to come over :’(((

Beats the game

Somehow

Not just the lessons either, literally every single drawing they give you to do, he does it

When you look at the gallery, you can see when you stopped playing and when he took over

He’d also love Little Inferno

Sings the jingle all the time until you’re threatening him to shut up

Doesn’t honestly understand the appeal at first

He can literally make and control fire, why can’t you just give him some stuff to burn and he’ll do it for you

But he slowly gets the appeal

Especially when the batteries explode

Hates the pooping cat plushie with a passion

“If that thing ever shows up in a claw machine, we are NOT getting it.”

He either fully completes the game, combos and all, or he gets to the second catalog and gets bored, no in between

Will happily watch you play tho

Loves the way you focus on trying to decipher the clues for the combos

No shame, WILL be looking up the combinations and WILL spoil them for you just to bug you

May plan a date around throwing shit into a fireplace and watching it burn in real life

There’s a fire extinguisher nearby, just in case

[great-thief-yatagarasu]

Steal the truth, and make it known!

Hello, Tacklr! The Great Thief Yatagarasu is here! But you can call me Kay Faraday!

I'm 17, and use she/her pronouns! I'm from the Jacali region, but I've since expanded my horizons! I steal the truth from all sorts of corporations, Silph, Devon, Macro Cosmos, and so on!

My Pokemon are Big Thief, my Corviknight, Badd, my Honchkrow, and Yatty, my Murkrow! I'm not a competitive trainer, but I know a lot about battling!

Be gay, and do crime!

OOC info below the cut:

Bet you weren't expecting this blog to return, especially so soon after I made my Arceus blog!

I've been playing the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection recently, and it's inspired me to try writing Kay again.

This is a hybrid Pokemon IRL and RPC blog. That means I’ll be doing both RPC-style and Pokemon IRL-style posts here, tagged “rpc” and “pkmn irl” respectively. If you don’t want to see one or the other, block those tags.

This blog shares a canon with @bigtittylawyer! Go check them out!

Pelipper Mail and its derivatives are on, as is Mystery GIft! Magic Anons are off, though. No NSFW allowed whatsoever.

For RPC blogs, here's the navigation links: Rules; Blogrunner Info; Character Info; Verses

I hope you all enjoy the Great Thief's return!

If everyone in P:EG had a console, what games would they be into?

Small CH1 spoilers

Cassidy: All of them, but particularly anything highly competitive and with a lot of depth.

Damon: Logic and puzzle games, since he likes feeling smart after beating them. Though he has a soft spot for visual novels with a horror/mystery aspect, such as Slay the Princess, Doki Doki Literature Club, and Danganronpa, for similar reasons. (I mean, he's the protag, I had to give him Dangan xD)

Desmond: First person shooters, because he's really good at them and takes pride in that.

Diana: Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and similar sandboxy/simulator games with a peaceful atmosphere. Uses games to chill, and loves forming deep attachments to NPCs. Has cried over the death of a Minecraft wolf before, but then again, who hasn't?

Eloise: Fighting games, since she can apply quite a few of the concepts used in fencing while playing them. The only reason she didn't go to the Super Slam Sisters tournament is that she can get kinda intense playing them and didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable (this might be a great moment to remind everyone these are pretty unserious headcanons and nothing else :v).

Eva: RPGs are her jam, but she also enjoys puzzle and logic games, especially if they involve real world science.

Grace: Anything highly competitive, especially sport or fighting games.

Ingrid: According to her profile, she likes combat, so she's partial to fighting games, though she generally doesn't like video games too much.

Jean: Party games such as Mario Party, because it's what his crew plays on his ship when they bring a console, so it reminds him of home.

Jett: Racing games, for obvious reasons, but he can also enjoy anything with a competitive element.

Kai: He prefers playing mobile games, mainly runner style. He's the in-universe person who popularized the "Subway Surfers on the side of the video" Tiktok strategy by using his own gameplay. He's actually surprisingly good at it.

Mark: Rhythm games. Is secretly a top tier osu player. No one has connected the dots between said top player and Mayhem, and Mark would like to keep it that way.

Toshiko: Dating sims, she calls it "research." Also thoroughly enjoys RPGs with interesting characters, but which have a relatively lighthearted theme, like Undertale and Pokemon.

Ulysses: Although he dislikes computers per his student profile, if he has to choose a game, it would be something trivia or puzzle based. Again, he likes both those things according to his profile.

Wolfgang: Visual novels are his jam, and his favorite is obviously Ace Attorney. Even if he does get ticked off every time he spots some kind of inaccuracy in the depiction of the legal system. To quote him: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN UPDATED AUTOPSY REPORT?!?!?!??!"

Wenona: Resource management strategy games, such as Factorio. Since she feels a pretty deep connection to bears (it's her animal symbol and she has a tattoo of one), the Clickteam FNAF games are her guilty pleasure, and she's beat UCN's 50/20 a few times, no Death Coin needed.

Tozu: He enjoys any game where he can either inflict suffering (Plague Inc, Sims, etc.) or let out his theater kid roleplaying skills.

Mara: Gruesome first person shooters and Animal Crossing. No inbetween.

Cara: Educational games and mobile games.

Thanks for the ask! Pretty fun to think about! :D

[beryllineart]

Things I Plan on Doing (eventually)

What if other monsters fell into the Core and were forgotten like/instead of Gaster? I've got a good idea for Papyrus and a half baked one for Undyne.

Forget Sans remembering resets, I want to see other monsters remembering you're genocides and freaking out (ugh, that bad grammar just... ugh). I think it would be really cool to do Monster Kid.

Hear me out. Papyrus joins Ankh-Morpork's City Watch. He and Carrot are so similar (especially the Carrot we see in Guards, Guards) that I actually have a very good idea of how it would go.

Tiny Muffet.

A Muffet backstory explaining some of her personality and greed.

More Animation vs Undertale

If Majora's Mask Link fell into the Underground.

The Tale of the Neckromancer (misspelled on purpose, heh heh...)

Ace Attorney style debate/trial using my brother's D&D character (because he told me I drew him like Phoenix Wright).

Steampunk robot story

Something with these

Would you guys like a tutorial on how to compose music (or at least, how I compose music)?

DnDRune

Much Ado about Nothing hiding scenes where Alphys and Undyne are Benedick and Beatrice (no idea how it would go, I just think that's one of the funniest parts of the play)

"Lightners? More like black-and-whiteners!"

And finally, all those WIPs I have, like the How2Draw Comics (it took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out a story for the mice, but I finally did, so a new entry should appear in the next week or so.)

Let me know which ones you guys most want to see!
