[banging pots and pans] LET GUMSHOE AND FRANZISKA OUT OF THE BASEMENT, CAPCOM

more AA interview facts because ppl liked the last post more than I expected

When it comes to the main trilogy, the title of "favorite character" among the male staffers is pretty unanimously Godot. According to Takumi, female staffers (and fans) prefer Edgeworth. No one on staff expected Edgeworth and AA in general to be so popular among women but have come to love it

When Maya Fey is surprised, the liquid coming out of her mouth is not spit, it's actually ectoplasm

Gumshoe has "a lot of pure and warm love within him" that he pours into investigating instead of a girlfriend. He's married to his job, but would make a lovely husband otherwise

Franziska and Edgeworth don’t wear their prosecutor's badges because it's "more chic"

Diego was planning on proposing to Mia around the time he was poisoned

Edgeworth is "bad at communicating with people and horses"

The VA for Godot was so happy with how his lines came out that he uses the Godot voice to flirt with people irl

The office where all the staff works would receive chocolates on Valentine’s day addressed to the characters

While Takumi “can perfectly imagine Phoenix working in the service industry” he thinks that while in art school, he would do painting modeling for money

OHHKAY so I was reading the aa investigations Manga thing and I am eating up the Gumworth.

The whole second case is about a murder of a rockstar at a concert

Except the only reason Edgeworth and Gumshoe are there is because Gumshoe's a fan

Like, Edgeworth was just like, okay, I'll come with you for no reason to this place I definitely don't want to be

And Even though he wants to leave ASAP, he still stays when Gumshoe asks him to for the Encore

(He looking annoyed like bro nobody's forcing you to stay)

AND THEN!! When Gumshoe is genuinely distraught over the singers death, Edgeworth does still push him to do his job, but more gently tries to comfort him and give him advice in this situation.

(and he also says "them" about who cuts Gumshoe's salary. He can't be the only or even primary force responsible for Gumshoe's financial problems, and here seems a little concerned about it.)

(add this to the list of Edgeworth being bad at feelings, but he's trying)

And there are a bunch more moments too, like Edgeworth letting Gumshoe go up on stage and even sing a song with the band performing (For the case though definitely not because this is Gumshoe's favorite band and favorite song and it would be a dream come true for him, and despite the fact that there was no reason in particular for Gumshoe to do it specifically)

And at the end Edgeworth angstily goes off saying he doesn't even like rock

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST WHY DID YOU WANT TO ACCOMPANY GUMSHOE TO THE CONCERT THEN? HOW DID HE CONVINCE YOU TO GO??

Anyway this has more firmly cemented my belief that you can't have Gumshoe and Edgeworth directly interacting without implying they're, at the least, platonic soul mates or, what I like better, in love 💕

Who is your favorite Ace Attorney character and why?

OMG hi! Thank you for the ask!!

As for my favorite character, I'm a big fan of Gumshoe! I just like big, goofy, endearing characters so much! I dont think ive posted any drawings of him here before though, so maybe it's a surprise! He's a sweetheart, and I miss him so much TT I've been playing Apollo Justice and Great Ace Attorney most recently, so I feel like it's been forever since I've seen him TT

Other than Gumshoe though, all of the protagonists have a special place in my heart, Phoenix, Ryunosuke, Apollo.. I specifically vibe with Apollo, he's a character I really feel like I match with, although he's much meaner in his head than me HAHA! my sister's and I have a habit of just whispering to eachother "they don't know I'm Apollo Justice.." whenever we say or do something vaguely Apollo-esque

Also, how we feeling about the Edgeworth tshirt? My sister's and I have been joking around about how we think it'd be so funny of he just wore a shirt with Miles' face on it, even funnier if he SPECIFICALLY spent his.. meager paycheck on buying it personalized HAHA! I was gonna draw it, but decided it was much funnier if I just left it his sprite in the court record

Dream Girl (Neil Lewis x Fem!Reader) [+18]

Pairing: Neil Lewis x Fem!Reader Summary: You're Neil's favorite (and only) camgirl and the girl of his dreams, and he finally has a video call with you. Word count: 3,307 Contents: (Minors DNI). Reader is a camgirl! Needy Neil, cam sex, mutual masturbation, praise kink, fluff! Author's notes: Once again, a collab with @fuckiingloser my beloved. Mandatory "english is not my first language" disclaimer. Underneath there's a Neil playlist I made, the pinterest moodboard to help you visualize this fic and something more! ;)

Neil anxiously stared at the computer screen waiting for it to connect. The circular motions of the loading icon toyed with his impatience. This was serious to him. After selling some old valuable tapes from Gumshoe, he had just enough to pay for a private video call with her: his favorite cam girl, his ultimate dream girl, the one he had been dedicated to watching for the last few months.

He had stumbled upon her in his usual search for porn months ago, in one desperate and lonely night. After closing and closing several porn tabs and profiles, finding absolutely nothing that scratched the right spot for him, he saw her. In all her pink, fluffy, girl-next-door-esque glory. He sat there in complete awe, watching her just smile and laugh, chatting to subscribers and also watching her touch herself… Neil loved it all. From her beautiful hair, her beautiful smile, pretty eyes and perfect body… She had taken over every single thought of his. He became completely hooked since. Generously tipping her, subscribing to her only fans and leaving sweet messages since subscribing.

He couldn’t believe it, after months, he had finally gotten the chance to have a one-on-one call with her. Half of his daydreams and fantasies were about the moment he could talk to her and not just write her his usual nice comments online. He nervously fixed his hair on the reflection of the monitor at the thought. Nothing in this world would let him miss this… Not even the cost. Selling a few of his vintage vhs tapes was not a big deal if it meant he got to see her. 

Neil was positively and undeniably obsessed… Not in the stalker way, of course… He was always respectful. He just had a crush, and a deep yearning to have the chance to take her on a date, get to know her, make her laugh at the very least… His dream girl…

Snapping him out of his thoughts, the screen finally blinked on, making him smile softly when he saw his dream girl pop on the screen.

“Hi there, Neil…” You greeted him with your sensual but sweet voice. You quite liked him as a subscriber. You had seen from his profile that he was only a few years older than you, and from his comments you always knew he was nice, but when you finally saw him appear on your screen you were pleasantly impressed. Neil was much cuter than what you expected him to be. His beautiful pale blue eyes, his soft brown curls, his sweet smile… God help you, he was dreamy…

You sat pretty on your pink fluffy duvet cover on your bed, your laptop was propped right in front of you at the perfect angle, showing your body and lovely face. Neil’s reaction to that image was just delicious, his eyes widened and you moved back a little, revealing the tiny see through pink lingerie set you wore…  At his request, of course. 

From the screen you could tell this already had an effect on him, his cock definitely hardening in his pants and his eyes raking all over you through his monitor. Despite being so used to watching you he still felt weak on the knees. 

“H-hi… you look… so beautiful ...” Neil stuttered just so cutely through his big smile, his usual sweetness shining through. Even when he commented in your livestreams or messaged you he was always a total sweetheart. Most of the other comments you received were well… Vulgar and far too descriptive. That is why Neil always stood out to you, the only one who was actually nice, the one who always tuned into your streams, even the ones where you weren’t naked. He just wanted to see you and hear you talk. 

 “Thank you… You’re too sweet..” You purred to him, smiling and turning around on your knees just to let him see the outfit from the back. Your hand slowly and very sensually ran over your body and the delicate pink lace and flower embroidery of your see-through bra and thong. He watched, completely out of breath. The shape of your ass, the way the lingerie did nothing to hide your charms. He felt himself grow harder.

“Wow…” He whispered, almost dizzy. “You’re perfect…”

Words weren’t enough. “Perfect” didn't even cover just how incredible you were to him. Neil LOVED the dainty, girly lingerie sets you always wore, your all-pink girly room, your innocent eyes, your soft voice. You were the perfect girl next door, the embodiment of all his fantasies combined and presented like a goddess in front of him… And now you were his… Even if it was just for the hour. 

Satisfied with his cute reaction, you sat back down on the bed, smiling softly for the camera.

“You’ve got all of me for an hour… Any special requests?” You asked kindly, charmingly. Neil felt his mind turn to mush for a second, just staring at you for a bit before gathering his thoughts enough to answer. 

“Could you touch yourself and moan my name…  Please?” He asked so softly, your lips curled into a smirk.

“Of course, I can do that. Fingers or a toy?” Your tone was slightly flirty but still very sweet.

“A vibrator… the one you always use…” Neil answered right away, not even thinking about it. He knew exactly what he wanted.

“As you wish..” You smiled and leaned off camera for a second to grab the toy that waited ready for you to use.

“This one?” You came back into frame and, with a cheeky smile on your face, held up the realistic pink dick shaped vibrator.

Neil’s eyes widened a bit in recognition and he nodded with a smile, his hand squeezed his hard on over his pants as he took in the sight of you on the screen. You leaned back against your pretty pink pillows and slowly spread your legs. He shifted closer towards the monitor, lured in by you and the way you gently pulled your sheer panties down your legs and tossed them aside, exposing your pretty little pussy.

It obviously wasn’t the first time he’d seen it… But it was the first time that only him got to see it. He groaned, looking at your perfectly waxed lips reverently. How he wished he could just dive into the screen and magically appear in front of you.

“How do I look?” You asked with a pretty smirk, two gentle fingers spreading your lips apart for him to drool for. His breath hitched a bit and he swallowed hard, fighting his own brain for coherent words.

“You look like a goddess…” He said, almost in awe. “Your pussy is so pretty..” 

You smiled sincerely at his compliment before a motion from your thumb turned the vibrator on. The pink toy slowly and teasingly traveled to your clit, and you moaned instantly when it touched it and made it send waves of pleasure through you. You closed your eyes and Neil kept his wide open, your lips curved into a little smirk before you fulfilled his second request:

“Neil… oh baby… feels so good..” You could have killed him with that breathy moan. He couldn’t contain a groan and his hands couldn’t stop themselves from squeezing his aching cock over his pants. 

When you opened your eyes, you looked at your screen, smiling at the sight.

“You can touch yourself if you want… I wanna see you too…” You cooed to him. 

“Really?” Neil asked, obviously very excited at the thought of both of you getting off together, even if it was through the computer. You nodded with a pretty moan, moving the vibrator against you a bit more. He breathed out, your pussy glistened more and more before his eyes, and for a moment, he savored it in his imagination. His hand took his aching hard on out of his pants and scooted his chair back so you could see all of him. 

Quickly, he spat into his hand and wrapped it around his needy cock, gently groaning at the feeling, imagining it was your pussy instead of his hand. He looked up and saw you watching him with those lovely eyes of yours, he gave himself a few slow pumps.

“Mmm, your cock is so big…” You moan softly, biting your lip as you teased yourself with the toy, enticing the gentle strokes he gave himself.

“Big enough for you?” He asked almost desperately as he jerked off. 

You smiled, gently turning the toy off and sliding it between your wet folds, just teasing yourself with it before finally pushing it in. 

“Mmm… Definitely...” You moaned back to him, and he watched in amazement. You gently pushed the tip of the toy inside you, moaning deliciously as you adjusted around it.

“You wish this was your cock, instead?” You asked him seductively, earning an immediate nod from him. 

“God, yes…” He answered quickly. “I'd literally do anything you wanted of me… I’d-I’d worship you…” 

You moaned again, loudly, his words making you push the dildo in deeper and stretch yourself more.

“Worship me?” Your voice came out sensual, slightly affected by the feeling of the pink toy in you. Neil nodded and groaned, pumping his cock a bit faster.

“Yes... I’d love to kiss you, taste you… make you smile… make you come…” He was beautifully desperate, too fucking sweet. You felt your cheeks at the edge of burning, your hand kept moving, you kept fucking yourself with the dildo.

It was inevitable now, his adoring and genuine praises did something to you, to your wet cunt that only got much more wetter. You arched your back and moaned, never once stopping your hand that held the dildo. 

“More..” You whined to him, needing more of his sweet words. His breathing sped up as his hands worked his cock faster. He was dumbfounded for a split second, but he would never deny you anything.

“I'd spend hours eating your pussy if you let me… I just wanna make you come with my tongue…” He added, his voice a little shaky. 

“Oh fuck..” You moaned loudly, feeling so turned on and getting closer, faster than you expected too… You looked at the screen, seeing him stare at you with those beautiful desperate blue eyes. So, you moved the toy back to your clit and turned it up even higher.

“Neil… I'm gonna come..” You warned him with a loud whine that mixed with the buzzing sound of the vibrator. It was so uncommon for you to even reach this stage so fast, but there was something about his sweet voice, his eyes, his praises… They were doing something to you that you weren’t at all used to…

“Please, come for me…” Neil begged softly, his hand sped up around his cock. “I wanna come with you…” He moaned, shutting his pretty eyes and breathing heavily. 

“Yes... Yes!” You cried out loudly, every muscle of your legs trembled viciously and your clit sent overwhelming waves of pleasure to every last nerve you had. The perfect prelude to an intense, looming orgasm. “Neil…” You moaned needy. 

Neil´s baby blue eyes widened even more, watching you in amazement. With a few more vibrations against your sensitive clit, you came undone just for his eyes to enjoy. Your cry of pleasure sent shivers down his spine and harder pumps to his throbbing, aching cock. Oh, he’d do anything to feel that sweet orgasm of yours happen all around him.

“Fuck, me too.. I’m coming too..” He spoke with  a strained voice, looking right at you and keeping eye contact through the screen. His eager hand jacked him off almost in desperation, massaging his hard cock until reaching an intense abrupt stop. Ropes of his thick white come coated his hand as he let out little groans. His dick twitched and pulsed in his palm and he threw his head back for a moment there. Your eyes studied the scene on your laptop screen detailedly, up until the last little bit of his cum dribbled out.

“Fuuuck..” He groaned softly, he then gave you a satisfied smile. “That was fucking amazing..”.

You giggled a little, his voice was hoarse and just so attractive. You couldn’t agree more with him.

For his eyes, you spread your pussy lips again, proudly showing him the aftermath of what he helped you achieve: your lips glistening with your orgasm. He groaned a bit, his mouth nearly watering.

“I wish I could clean you up with my tongue… I’d give anything for a taste…” He whispered desperately. You bit your lip, it was unbelievable just what this sweet guy did to you.

After a few more breaths, you both sat up and angled your cameras back up to your faces. Neil cleaned himself up on camera, a box of tissues ready on his desk.

“Sorry it happened so fast…” You started to apologize, your mind now clearer and aware that you still had a half hour left for the call, but Neil cut you off before you could finish speaking:

“Please… don’t apologize. That was… Everything to me. Besides… I’d love to just talk too, is that okay?…” He muttered softly.

“Yeah, of course, if that’s what you want…” You answered with slight sheepishness at his sweet words. Still, conversation with Neil just flowed… So naturally… 

“You already know what I do for a living…” You said with a little smirk, his cute laughter resonated from your laptop´s speakers. “What do you do for work?” 

“I actually own a small movie rental store… It's called Gumshoe Video. Been my dream since I was a kid, opened up about 5 years ago now, actually.” Neil answered with a genuine smile, proud of himself. 

“Wow, that's awesome.. I actually love movies, especially older romance movies…” You confessed, and he felt butterflies. You were beautiful AND loved old movies? You really were his dream girl after all. 

“Really?” He asked, a little shocked. You giggled gently.

“Yeah, of course… Brief Encounter is one of my favorites.” You looked at his perfect brown curls through the screen as his mouth turned into a grin. 

 “Wow! Yeah, I love that one! I love David Lean.” He agreed, something deep in his chest fluttering. The more you talked, the more you realized you had more in common than either of you would have ever thought. Talking with him was just so easy, so effortlessly. Neil was just as sweet talking face-to-face as he was online.

“Can I ask where you're from?” He said shyly, not knowing if that’s crossing the line or not. Understandable nervousness stirs in you.

“I usually don’t disclose that kind of information to anyone…” You started and received a pleasant little surprise when you saw Neil nodding in acceptance softly. But before he could speak you felt your gut just telling you to say it. “I live in Chicago.” You suddenly blurted out. 

You watched his eyes widen a bit.

“Chicago?” Neil whispered to himself softly. “I-I’m in the Chicago suburbs!” 

Your eyes widened too, the revelation feeling just right. He was so close to you this whole time and you didn’t even know it…

“Wow..” You whispered, a little shocked at the news. “Small world i guess…” You smiled and Neil laughed a bit.

“No kidding.” He agreed. The girl he’s been pining after and thinking about for months… Practically neighbors with him. 

There was an awkward silence for a second as you both processed the information. Finally, he spoke:

“I'd love to possibly take you on a date sometime… If you’d be okay with it, that is… Just want to treat you like a princess... We wouldn’t have to have sex or anything…”  He rambles just so cutely. You really considered it. Butterflies flew in your stomach. Most men only saw you as a sex object, something they could use and move on from. Neil wasn’t that kind of guy, that was obvious. He was kind and thoughtful. You had never even considered ever wanting to meet someone from only fans… Until today… Until Neil. 

Your beautiful glossy lips almost uttered the word “yes”... But suddenly, you decided against it. You felt a little bad when you saw his face fall a bit at your decline, but you had to watch out for yourself. Though he was bummed, he understood.

“Of course, I understand completely… Maybe we could have another private session? I’d really love to talk again…” Neil adapted the goalposts for your comfort, his sweet innocent eyes making you melt. You smiled, and decided to accept. The grin returned to his handsome face.

“I'll have to sell some things but I'll be good…  Maybe next week? Same day and same time?” He said enthusiastically and your smile fell a bit. Guilt crept back on you. He was selling things just to pay to speak to you. No, you wouldn't let this be. 

Despite the fact that it had just been one call, you felt more for him, more than you ever thought you would. You usually had no problem taking men’s money but with him… It just felt wrong. You felt terrible. 

“No, please don’t do that…” You stopped him, he furrowed his brow a bit in confusion. “Next one's on me because I finished so early this time…” It was an excuse, yes, but one that seemed to work well enough so he wouldn't have to sell his possessions just to see you. 

“Really?” He asked softly, seeming a little shocked by your words. “It's really no problem… I don't want to take advantage of you… I know it’s your job…” He whispered, giving you those perfect sweet eyes that made you melt once again.

“Really.” You told him, completely sure of your decision. “I promise” And you reassured him with a soft smile. Neil´s smirk grew. 

“Thank you so much… I'd just like to see you again... Maybe talk more about movies too, hopefully?” he asked softly, gentle excitement in his voice. You blushed a little bit. God, he’s sweet. 

“I'd like that!” You agreed with a soft smile, a casual glance to the time on your laptop made you notice that you had reached a little over an hour on the call. “Well… I'll see you next week then, Neil…Bye bye!” You said softly, looking at him through the screen and giving him a little wave. 

“Goodbye, beautiful…  Sleep well.” Neil said so genuinely it made your heart burst a little. He gave you a soft wave and you smiled in return. The video call finally ended and you let out a deep sigh, feeling all kinds of emotions.

As the call ended on his end and the screen went back to black, Neil smiled to himself, feeling happier and more excited than he has in a long time. Now that he knew he would see you again next week, just like he did tonight… It made him feel like the luckiest man in the world.

He went to bed that night still reeling, replaying it all in his mind over and over. Finally, he set his phone down and settled into bed. A movie played for background noise as he tried to relax, even if the image of your beautiful face kept him awake and so painfully aware of just how much he needed you. It was then when his phone pinged with a notification from his bank:

 $800.00 USD refunded to checking account.

Under it, there was a message reading: 

“I enjoyed myself as much as you did… I’ll see you next week Neil, can’t wait…” 

It was from you. His jaw dropped a bit in disbelief. This was only the beginning…

Part 2... (coming soon) ;)

[halothanic]

i heard you got a car, and you're gonna go far—

supposed to be a photo someone (gumshoe???) took of edgeworth on his first day on the job, on the top level of the courthouse parking garage. kept in his files for years. i think he would be a fan of keeping mementos (like me, who based the parking receipt off one i kept in my sketchbook, it was so fun to replicate)!

this idea was thumbnailed last year, inspired by one of my favorite songs for him, “caution repetitive” by princess chelsea. i can't believe i was tuned in even when it was released, but anyway.. just LOOK at the lyrics! and the harpsichord making an appearance, which always reminds me of him, lol. i wanted him to look smug, awkward, and blank all at once.

i just today learned apparently PWAA is set in 2016 and not 2001?! well i’m officially ignoring that, on the record, hah. the vanity plate was inspired by this reddit post i saw when i was trying to find out exactly what kind of car he had in the trilogy. plus i just love them.

i'm going to be getting 5x7s done, so we can all have our own little demon prosecutor. immersive!

When you're done with Farewell my Turnabout, I'm curious - many fans say that it's one of, if not the best case in the series. Do you have strong opinions one way or the other? What have been your favorite cases so far?

SPOILERS:

By far the best I've played. The highest stakes in any case thus far. So smart of the writers to put a character everyone universally loves DEATH in mortal peril to motivate Phoenix (and the player). They were unafraid of taking risks and hurting characters like Franziska and Gumshoe. They finally gave us what we've were hoping and waiting for too, which is Gumshoe and Edgeworth working alongside Phoenix. It was so, so, so incredibly satisfying seeing Edgeworth on your side and being a genuinely good guy, worrying about Maya's safety, and play-acting to stall for time. The judge was extremely funny. The twists were insane and unexpected.

By far my favorite part of this case is how it throws the entire series' conceit into question. It challenges Phoenix (and the player's) ideas of what it means to "win" at the game. Does finding justice mean finding the "true" killer, pinning the blame on someone else? Or does it mean making sure those who have committed crimes are able to tell their whole story and meet an appropriate sentencing? This is the first time Phoenix has had to defend someone who's 100% guilty. Was it right of him to pursue and accuse Adrian so vehemently? Throughout the case, you're constantly reminded of the trade-off you're potentially making: Adrian's life for Maya's, and Engarde's acquittal (remember those guilty are given the death penalty). Is it right to put someone to death if it means saving someone you care about? These are serious moral dilemmas that the case explores. What are the consequences of trying to "win" the game? Powers even calls out Phoenix's aggressive tactics of humiliating and throwing suspicion onto innocent witnesses, which is something that's been normalized to players. It's the first time I've seen the franchise question its own premise and whether or not it's teaching the player the right lessons about law and order.

So- Danganronpa became a big enough fandom for me that I decided to make a side blog for it! And because…I need a community my dudes

ME:

I’m @snickerzanddoodlez, you can call me whatever you’d like! I’ve finished the first and second games, but I intend to complete the series so please avoid spoilers for DGv3 past Chapter 5 when interacting with me! I did finish the Danganronpa 3 anime (you know, with the different arcs) though!

My favorite characters are Teruteru, Gundham, Ryoma, Byakuya, Kaito, Yasuhiro, and Togami! Fuyuhiko, Gonta, Kokichi, and Monokuma are very close behind :) (NOTE: I don’t support all of these characters’ actions! You know who this disclaimer is about, haha! And my affection of said individual doesn’t exactly extend to the End of Hope’s Peak Academy anime…) Also, I haven’t played Danganronpa v3 yet, but I think I’ll like that weird little guy who looks like Mineta

I’m a Warrior Cats veteran, so…the things I make might end up being a little weird!

I also sell cute lil’ Danganronpa stickers!

I do commissions, too! Fund my Doll-gonronpa Collection

ASKS:

The ask box is always open for questions, discussion, suggesting incorrect quotes / art / animatics, etc!

By the way! I like to be incredibly needlessly angsty and cringy- so we don’t judge here! I’m still getting a feel for what does and doesn’t fly in this fandom- so give me the best you’ve got! All of your angst and ideas- maybe I’ll draw them!)

Just stay generally SFW (suggestive jokes and the likes are fine!) and keep in mind that I am 16!

RPS:

Currently occupied with a few!

Kokichi x Himiko

I was playing AAI2 and was struck with the sudden idea to look up the french version of some of the characters’ names and omg i need to talk about them. I found some of them to be really funny/interesting! this is going to be a long post sorry.

In case you didn’t know Miles Edgeworth is called "Benjamin Hunter" which is…definitely a choice? yeah not too fond of this one ngl

Our beloved Dick Gumshoe is called "Dick Tektiv"! Which might be my favorite “pun name” ever in the french version. i love it sm

Kay Faraday is called “Cléa Faradet", pretty similar and goes with the same idea as the english one.

Next is my boy Sebastian Debeste (Eustace Winner). Now this one i find hilarious for some reason bc in french he’s called “EUSTACHE VICTOR” (don’t pay attention to the screencap in game he’s called eustache).

Next one is Verity Gavèlle and her french name is “Justine Delcour”. This one is pretty interesting bc the french version actually resembles the fan translation “Justine Courtney”. Idk why the french localization decided to go with this version since apparently in the french fan translation her name was “Justine Egal” = Justine Equal

Eddie Fender (Raymond Shields) in french is called “Freddie Lapointe” literally it translates to “Freddie TheAce” which yk. fits. i guess. since he keeps calling himself an ace attorney

And finally, we get for Gregory Edgeworth “Henri Hunter” and to me this fits his character so well ?? yeah that man is called Henri Hunter.

[zuzsenpai]

So little know fact, Raymond Shields is my second fave AA character after Gumshoe. I’ve written tens of thousands of words of Raymond Shields fanfic. I’m not taking this localized name change well. I know I’m overreacting. I know people who liked the original names from TGAA also had this problem and got over it. But like…. AAI2 is my favorite video game of all time. That fan translation means a lot to me. It’s going to be hard. (I’ll get over it but like…. Today won’t be that day)

[cherry15329]

Since we had a poll for Team Phoenix, now it's time for Team Miles! Which team member is you favorite?

P.S.

1)Larry, Maggey, Badd, Shaun and Klavier are the team’s honorary members.

2)The reason why Simon is part of Team Miles is that I have seen some fans want Capcom to make an 'Investigations' game for Simon. I would also love to see his interactions with the 'Investigations' characters. Not to mention I want to see Simon using psychological manipulation while confronting suspects, witnesses, culprits, etc.

Ok, one of you literally yelled "PUT IT IN MY BEINS" so I guess you liked the idea :v

The good news for you, I already have the first chapter ready! I just have to convert it to English (the disadvantages of being a non native English speaker)

With that done, let's move on to Justice for all :D

Phoenix Wright: Justice for All

The Lost Turnabout:

Normal changes here and there, a few more details in the nightmare at the beginning, Apollo and Athena are the ones who help with the tutorial instead of Maggey, Trucy and Maya go to investigate the phone and they all want to kill Wellington :v

Reunion & Turnabout:

Everyone hates Dr. Turner, even me, even you, Athena and Pearl bond (no Ship here, just friendship, I should put up a "NO SHIP, NO HETEROS NOR HOMO" sign, they're all just one big family)

Pearl: The magatama can see through peoples lies

Apollo, Athena & Trucy: Sweating nervously because a few days ago they broke a vase and blamed a bird(?)

Magataman's Shenanigans XD

A story or two here and there about how some mediums couldn't control the spirit with catastrophic results, Phoenix denying his trauma from Edgeworth's "suicide" while being a good uncle/cousin to Pearl, everyone hates Morgan Fey, Franziska is intense, Apollo sees Ini's lies but doesn't know why she lies about her sister's accident, Mia's so done with all this bullshit and Maya gets custody of Pearl, because I don't understand how they just left the girl alone in the village(?????

Turnabout Big Top:

Urgh, this case. I'm just going to adapt the anime version, erase all that disgusting love triangle stuff, Phoenix reacts more strongly to the talk with Franziska and almost has a nervous breakdown, Trucy's a fan of Max Galactica for obvious reasons and will lead the explanation to how Max's cape flew, the girl is theatrical, leave her be xd

Farawell, my Turnabout:

UHHHHH this case, hold on tight because this is my favorite and I have to make it special. With changes from the get go, Apollo is kidnapped alongside Maya, Kay offers to look for them while Phoenix, Gumshoe and the girls focus on the case, The magatama and perception are deceived, but Athena captures Engard's malice and satisfaction, Phoenix punches Edgeworth for being a shitty dramatist and making everyone think he was dead, Franzyska also gives him a whiplash, he deserves it(?), Phoenix complain to both Gumshoe and Kay for knowing that Edgeworth was alive and not telling him to later have a panic attack from the call with De Killer, This poor man will be beaten from all sides, I guarantee you xd, Apollo is a little gremling who refuses to sit still even if his life depends on it, Engard is a son of a bitch, De Killer just wants to finish his job, the gallery is confused, Adrian realizes what is really going on behind Engard's defense, Apollo is again a small gremling and takes away De Killer's radio while he is on the stand to then being dragged out, we got one more break, Mia's a good mother, everyone celebrates Franziska's Big Moment™, Phoenix together with Athena and Trucy decide the verdict of "NOT guilty" and watch happily as Engard ruins his face, the reunion scene is more mellow, Apollo calls Phoenix dad for the first time and everyone is happy

UFFF, this one was longer than Goodbyes

Extra cases of the manga:

Something I forgot to mention in the last post is that I will adapt some cases of the manga as well as the case of the train, but that will be in T&T

See you next time, bye~

spicy take time: Ace Attorney 5 is not THAT bad

Dual Destinies: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly -- An Opinionated Review (not spoiler free, hehe)

As I was progressing through the series, I noticed that fans really seemed to dislike Dual Destinies, so as I finished Apollo Justice, I was worried about what I was going to come across and, it wasn't terrible. I've begun to replay some of the game and compile some thoughts.

The Good

Characters

Whether it be the complicated, the quirky, or the downright enjoyable to be around, Dual Destinies has all sorts of new characters to fit this bill. Some of my favorites include:

Athena Cykes -- The newbie lawyer with a loud and colorful personality and a neat little game mechanic involving her being able to hear emotions Simon Blackquill -- The prosecutor on death row who's very… persuasive (why does he get to have a sword?) "Bobby Fulbright" -- The game's eccentric detective. While he's no Dick Gumshoe or Emma Skye, he actually managed to grow on me, making the twist that the final antagonist was disguised as him the entire time all the more impactful to me.

Some other characters that I really enjoyed: Juniper Woods Jinxie Tenma Aura Blackquill Orla Shipley (the orca)

And some of my favorite puns, for fun: Candice Arme Robin Newman Sasha Buckler

The Introductory Case

Case 5-1 is one of my favorite introductory cases after 2-1, AAI2-1, and TGAA1-1. Its twists and turns had me on edge the entire time. I've seen some crazy shit in Ace Attorney -- exorcisms, cross-examining animals, children that are victims of murder attempts -- but a terrorist bombing was not something I would expect, weirdly enough.

I also think it's fascinating how it's the only intro case to span over multiple days and the second to chronologically take place after the main filler cases (after AAI1-1).

And I really like how it ends by leaving these two questions in the back of my mind: "What's wrong with Apollo?" "Who exactly is Athena?"

Prosecutor Blackquill

Out of all of the prosecutors in the series, Blackquill has one of my favorite concepts. The idea of a prosecutor being able to continue his job while awaiting the death sentence for a crime he did not commit, but rather, took the fall for is just soooo… AAAAAAA. I love it. How he also utilizes psychological mind games opposite to Athena's own.

I was originally terrified of Blackquill and his unique "Silence!" callout, but as case 5 progressed, I actually almost cried learning Simon's true colors. How he willingly went to prison to protect a young Athena and Athena's mother, Metis', work, refusing to accept help despite Athena's and Aura, his older sister's, pleas. He was genuinely willing to be executed for the sake of protecting Athena.

Athena and Apollo's relationship, Apollo's Skepticism, and Athena's Trauma

Throughout the course of cases 2 and 3, it was demonstrated how Apollo and Athena grew to trust each other. To me, they gave off sibling energy, which was made even better by the fact that, in Greek mythology, Apollo and Athena are siblings (half-siblings, but siblings nonetheless).

So when Apollo started feeling skeptical towards Athena regarding the whole Clay situation, it kinda hurt, Apollo even willingly wearing a bandage over his eye to prevent himself from perceiving Athena's suspicious ticks. (I love this concept and wish more could have been done it.) And Athena had a past of her own that wasn't helping the situation that she herself wasn't even sure of, traumatized by the idea that she might have killed her own mother.

This is what I would say to be Dual Destinies' strongest feature.

The Phantom

Like I've mentioned before, the twist of "Fulbright" being the final antagonist really got to me. And his whole breakdown with him being in a mad panic, questioning who he really was before getting sniped, has to be one of my favorite breakdowns in the entire series (second to the exorcism)

Turnabout Reclaimed

The concept behind this DLC case is a fascinating one. The defendant being an… uhm… orca and the murder being an accident makes this case really unique.

3D Models

While the models take a bit to get used to, I think, ultimately, they weren't a terrible idea. I love the sprites but there are some things that the models did that the sprites couldn't -- and vice versa. And I believe it was a great gateway into what we got with The Great Ace Attorney and Spirit of Justice.

The Bad

Phoenix's Role

I have problems with Phoenix in this game in general. His model, his voice, but overall, I think the biggest downside about him in this game is his role. How him losing his badge was basically ctrl-z'ed and he's back to basically steal the spotlight. His role in Apollo Justice was great. He was there, but not on the front lines, helping Apollo from the side. I was hoping that, with the introduction of Athena, she'd get help from him like Apollo from Kristoph in his own game or Phoenix from Mia in the first game, rather than being essentially sidelined herself.

Yes. Dual Destinies is a Phoenix Wright game, but with how much focus it gives to Apollo and Athena and their… Dual Destinies… it's a bit frustrating with him in the picture as much as he is.

Turnabout Academy

I don't believe in the "3rd Case Syndrome" that goes around in the fanbase (4-3, 6-3, AAI2-3, and TGAA2-3 were pretty good). However… replaying Dual Destinies, I can't bring myself to replay this case. The concept was okay, but, that's all I can really say. The characters were… eh? I like Junie, Robin, and Mirriam, but Hugh is insufferable and what they did with Klavier was… (I don't wanna be harsh but)… ew. How Robin was treated before revealing she was a girl, was kind of gross (in the initial 2013 release). Overall, it was an… okay case. I don't really have much else to say about this case other than I didn't really enjoy it.

Turnabout Reclaimed

I love the concept, but that's about it. I had a bit of trouble staying awake while playing this one. It felt a little reminiscent of 1-5, which best sums up my feelings about it. The characters were okay and the idea is great, but this case is just… there.

The Ugly

Main Menu

That menu is boring. There's nothing... here. At least previous releases had the gall to put an image in the background, whether it be a courtroom or silhouettes of the main characters. I can't tell if that's supposed to be a bulletin board or a closeup of a basketball, but it's likely neither of those are right.

Voices

I understand replacing the older VA's because of cutscenes and all that, and I'm okay with Apollo's new voice, but when it comes to the other characters with NEW voices, they kind of miss the mark. Apollo and Phoenix sound virtually identical, Klavier sounds… wrong, and I don't think anyone told Edgeworth's VA that he's only 34 because he sounds twice that.

3D Models

When it comes to characters being translated into 3D, that's where the models miss. Apollo's, and Klavier's models are … not the best and Phoenix's is actually disgusting. They got a much-needed update with Spirit of Justice, but they don't compare to the beauty of their sprites.

-----

Overall, I personally think that Dual Destinies is one of the weakest in the series, but it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's different and takes a bit to get used to, but it's fun :)

APOLLO JUSTICE!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! What i would literally give to have a true AA4 sequel. I wholeheartedly believe if Yamazaki's team could ignore aa4 canon to make 5 & 6 then Shu Takumi should absolutely be allowed to ignore any 5&6 canon to make an aa4 sequel. I'm dying out here pleaseeeeee

The Phoenix sticker is from Peachcott. The Klavier sticker is from Ayabit from the Turnabout Cinema zine. The Apollo and Trucy stickers are from astarsor.

Summary:

I love this game so much. I love it so much that I am heartbroken knowing that AA 5 & 6 butchers the story it setup and I'm considering not even playing them unless AA7 is announced. I love all the main characters so much, the whole story was so well built and I can def see the influence the story had on DGS. Apollo is such a good protagonist, he's relatable but also so unique. I love seeing his character progression in the game: a new attorney who is easily manipulated to a confident and determined attorney who trusts in his own judgement. I LOVED Klavier oh my god. I love how much he respects Apollo and although he doesn't hesitate to tease him, he doesn't bully or abuse Apollo in any way. They both have a mutual admiration and rivalry where they try to play as fairly as possible. Klav doesn't maliciously withhold or change evidence, but he does spend hours reviewing his arsenal and thinks of all the counter arguments the defense could bring up. I really like Apollo's ability, it continues the mystery and mysticism from the original trilogy but with new mechanics. I adore Trucy so much. She honestly might be my favorite AA character. She's determined, strong willed, and above all -- extremely silly. I couldn't of asked for a better character to be Phoenix's daughter. I also LOVE the sibling reveal at the end but gdi if only they actually figure it out T^T T^T. I think Apollo and Trucy's dynamic is probably my favorite Defense and assistant dynamic. This who game was so fun, I know 4-3 is not everyone's favorite and it is a little all over the place but I also enjoyed it and loved the premise. There's so much to say, I haven't even talked about Nick and Kris - what an incredible feud, what a genius development for Nick. I cannot recommend this game enough, I am so obsessed with it and cannot wait to make art <3 <3.

Ace Attorney and JJK fan ⁉️⁉️ Who's your fav prosecutor and character respectively, mandatory question (/j)

AHHHHH OH IT’S SO HARD FOR CHOOSE. for prosecutors, i think my favorite is Franziska von Karma, and in general probably Gumshoe. i love them both so much for totally opposite reasons. for JJK, Megumi 100%. i love him oh so dearly. he is my sweetie pie
