#I AM NORMAL!!! HEHEHE

[doctorsiren]

So I said this in the tags of my last post, but then I went wacky and doodled up some pages of this other AU idea that stemmed from the idea of that comic I did

In this AU, Miles goes to Diego Armando’s office a few weeks after the Fawles trial. There is no cocky, arrogant, or smug air about him like there was during the trial and instead he seems really shaken and nervous. Diego’s like “hey what’s wrong?” And Miles is quiet but then says that he needs help. He tells Diego that he can’t get the image of Fawles’s suicide out of his head and that he has no one he can talk to about this. Diego asks about Miles’s mentor, but Miles says that there’s absolutely no way he could ever go to his mentor for help with emotional stuff because it would show “weakness” and he also isn’t comfortable with von Karma. To make a long story short (because I’ve thought so much about this), Miles ends up pleading with Diego to protect him from von Karma just in case he goes after him for switching sides to be a defense attorney. He knows that von Karma will see him as weak and a traitor for switching teams after a single case, but Miles can’t be someone he’s not. Diego points out that Miles seems to be trying to be who von Karma wanted him to be. So he asks Miles what he wants to be, and Miles responds by saying he wants to be his dad (just like in my 1985 animatic 😭).

So Miles decides to renounce prosecution. He rips off his cravat and throws it in the garbage in Diego’s office and declares that he’ll become a defense attorney. He also asks Diego is he could be his mentor to help him in both being better at defense law and also just being better with interacting with people.

He joins the Grossberg Law Offices and works alongside Mia and Diego to gather evidence on Dahlia Hawthorne, as he now too believes that she has done terrible things.

After Diego is poisoned, Miles freaks out because people just keep dying or getting hurt around him and it scares him. (Oh…baby boy just wait until Mia dies too-)

He takes the case to defend Phoenix, gets TERRIFIED when Phoenix eats the poison necklace, and then at the end, Phoenix was like “oh wow! You’re a defense attorney now?? Lmao when did that happen??” Bc he had been too busy simping over Dahlia. But Miles tells him that he should still pursue law so that they could work together and also so that Phoenix’s law classes and studying wouldn’t have gone to waste. So Phoenix becomes a lawyer and works with Miles and Mia at the Fey & Co Law Offices until she dies and then it becomes Edgeworth & Co Law Offices because he had been a lawyer for longer.

I like the idea that in this AU, Phoenix and Miles obviously have huge crushes on each other, but these idiots still refuse to acknowledge or admit it <3

Also :((( when Diego wakes up, he still goes on his whole antagonist arc as Godot, and Miles refuses to tell Phoenix the truth about who he is. See, I also like the idea that in this AU, Nick and Miles are still as cagey with their past and truths as they are in normal AA

As you can see, I am perfectly normal !! I think about ace attorney a very normal amount!! 🤭

time for kanade's turn in the torture maze 🙏🙏 her time was coming sooner or later

i saw some people on twt mention the empty frames representing kanade's lack of life experiences due to her guilt and isolation and the mirrors being used to represent possible self-reflection and likely kanade will finally have to face herself

but i'd like to mention the hallway

firstly, it may just be me seeing this but this hallway actually contains each of the unit members image colours. kanade is the walls. ena is the picture frames. mizuki is the floor. and mafuyu is the roof.

secondly, this hallway is LOOOONG but there is a light at the end, which actually is also niigo's unit image colour (the light is there, at 25:00). niigo is each others's light. niigo is kanade's light.... but it's oh so so far away.... despite moving towards it, albeit slowly, the light never seems to get closer

kanade is so far away from this light

I've wanted to draw king candy as this ratigan pose for an embarrassingly long time and the weird motivation drops made this take an embarrassingly long time to complete.

but I finally got around to posting it :3

do I tag or do I not tag I

idk maybe not. I can't do this. (??) no YES I CAN (black the wolf has seen this. love him)

slightly shoddy SINKHOLE-inspired sunk arm sleeve thing i did for last halloween :⟩ didn't have any eel-themed shirts so swordfish was the next best thing !!!

I didn't end up having enough time to completely perfect it BUT! i did have an excuse to tell people about the podcast all night when they asked what my costume was. so i count that as a definite win

[marclef]

BOX.

been wanting to draw @pizzabox-box's Boxinno for a while..... here is the delightful little creature ✨

i do not think my Fake Peppino would like them very much though.... they smell like Clone and are shaped like pizza. not a good combo.

(but it DOES give me an excuse to try and draw a spookier Fakey 😁)

Okay, I know I've already sent you an ask, but going crazy rn and writing a story about it and I hdrfdhkr

So Valkyrie and Darquesse right?

In Phase 1 Valkyrie insisted that they were different people because she would never do the things that Darquesse did. But Skulduggery himself was going on about how they're one and the same and how she'll need to accept it.

In Phase 2, well. Everyone insists that they're the same person and while yes they are, they're also two separate beings and that's pretty clear, probably most clear to Omen honestly, with how up close and personal he gets with them both.

And then we come to Phase 3 and one of the first chapters is about how people come up to her and thank Valkyrie for what Darquesse did. She has people bowing to her, thanking her and still insisting that she and Darquesse are one and the same.

I have to wonder if that bothers her. Because that'd make me so uncomfortable. By the end of Phase 2, I'd think of Darquesse as a sibling instead of myself. And the praying? Like, that has to bother her to some degree.

Anyways, sorry for sending you this long ass ask, but I figured you'd get what I'm trying to say

I mean, we are pretty clearly shown that she doesn’t like being associated with Darquesse, even after Darquesse becomes a beloved figure. She hates interacting with the religion and is visibly uncomfortable whenever anyone talks about it, and who can blame her? Darquesse terrorized her for YEARS, and that’s never just going to go away.

I also have a couple thoughts about this, because I also think it’s really interesting! It’s a really interesting reflection of Valkyrie’s relationship with Stephanie, for one. Stephanie was treated as nothing more than an extension of Valkyrie in the same way that Valkyrie is now seen as nothing more than a manifestation of Darquesse, and Stephanie grew to hate Valkyrie for the same reason that Valkyrie now resents Darquesse: they being seen as the same person.

It also feeds into the objectification of Valkyrie, as I know we talked about. She’s wildly uncomfortable with it, but that doesn’t really matter, does it? So much of her trauma and pain stems directly from Darquesse, but that’s not seen as important. What she has to say on the subject ultimately doesn’t matter, because no matter what people will always see her as a manifestation of Darquesse.

And I think that’s a really interesting part of her character! Her relationship with Darquesse is so complicated, I absolutely adore it.

I am asking you about your ivantill siren au!! I want to know everything about them <3 Also when you draw Till with top surgery scars it makes me so ridiculously happy, thank you~

oh man my ivantill siren au... hehe... also yes you're welcome. i love trans till it's very important to me i love projecting onto my blorbos ☝️

tbh siren au is what it sounds like... ivan is a little pirate & till is this siren that ivan is insanely interested in—both due to his feelings for him and in general finding the uniqueness and concept of sirens very interesting—and he's making it his god damn mission to know more about till (and just in general about the seas—he has a job. even if he doesn't want to do it or doesn't find a reason for it)

ivan's obsession (i guess) with sirens started when he was a tiny kid 🤏 itty bitty. he was a big fan of reading since it was a good past time and took his mind off of things, and stumbled upon a book about sea creatures, and more importantly sirens. also, it was kind of inevitable to learn about sea creatures due to unsha being a pirate as well, and unsha wanting ivan to basically be his heir or be apart of the business as well.

ever since then ivan hung out at the beach and shores just looking and watching the seas to see if he could see one, and, well, you'll never guess what happened (he did see one) (it was till. who would have guessed thattt). he would leave food for the siren since he thought it was... too malnourished and skinny, it kind of worried him even if he knew nothing about it.

naturally, years went by and ivan grew up and got into the pirate business, now he sails the seas (now not that reluctant since he wants to find sirens and other things). one thing led to another and the ship kinda just... sunk. ivan was unable to regain consciousness due to bonking his head (how convenient for the plot), and next thing you know he's waking up on shore soaking wet and with a newly near death experience of drowning.

till saved him. he saw ivan's body floating down in the sea when he was passing by, and after nearly a bit too much time wasted thinking, ended up saving him from drowning since he's suchhh a good person (urak got on his ass when he found out about this).

i have no idea how ivan ends up meeting till, but i'd like to think it's due to pollution and litter in the ocean—i feel like it's common to get harmed or injured by that stuff, and when ivan initially helps till (with many scratches as a reward) (till doesn't want to be touched by a human) (and very freaked out how a human knew how to take care of a wound on him) (ivan, too, learned about siren's biology and how to care for one. he is serious about this), they end up...??? not becoming friends, but ivan likes to think they became friends.

ivan somehow ends up finding till wherever he goes, it also freaks him out, but after a while he warms up to ivan and starts to enjoy his company. feelings develop... both of them are... so... repressed. ivan naturally because of his insane internalized homophobia to himself, and till because "oh, shit. this is a human i'm getting feelings for." also because of the internalized homophobia towards himself) (newly found bisexuality win!)... it's so messy and horrible. insane miscommunication, but they end up making up! i swear!!

they're friends :) maybe something more. but they have yet to talk about that and even confess. they're both so scared of their feelings and i love them very much for it.
