I swear, nothing makes me go bonkers fucking yonkers quite like comparing Athena and Apollos' introductions to the WAA.

When Phoenix asked Athena to come work for the agency, he reached out overseas to get in contact and offer her a job. When Phoenix asked Apollo to come work for the agency, he didn't even mention what the business was called or what they actually did.

On Athena's first day in court, Phoenix showed up and took over for her when she started to break down. On Apollo's first day in court, Phoenix made him an accomplice in crime and almost ruined his career.

When Athena introduces her childhood best friend to the WAA, they get her cleared of murder charges and save a friendgroup. When Apollo tries to introduce his childhood best friend to the agency, he dies before that can even happen.

When Athena returns to the space center, she is greeted by the robots with open arms. When Apollo returns to the space center, he is greeted by the name of a dead man.

When Phoenix sought out Athena as a protégé, it was because he realized how much she was hurting. When Phoenix sought out Apollo as a protégé, its because he realized how much he could be used to hurt others.

Thinking about Iris' very open disdain for spirit channeling and how it seemingly contradicts many other elements of her character.

Let me explain—Iris prior to the end of BttT is a woman who only knows facades, covering up the truth, and only presenting herself exactly as she wants others to see her. We see this over and over again throughout the course of the story: she hides her real identity while dating Phoenix, she does damage control for Dahlia and Godot to help them avoid blame for their crimes, and she is extremely selective about which information she chooses to disclose to specific people depending on whatever role she finds herself playing in that moment (daughter, girlfriend, accomplice, etc). Her demeanor as a whole is also rather meek and unassuming, and she's shown to be exceptionally kind; she expresses favorable opinions on most everyone she meets, even those continuously treated poorly by other characters (like Larry) or those that have objectively done reprehensible things (like Dahlia).

All of this stands in stark contrast to her saying in no uncertain terms that she hates spirit channeling:

This stands out to me because it is one of very few things that Iris is completely forthright honest about in the early portion of this case. After spending all day avoiding Phoenix and now carefully dodging his questions towards her in hopes of preventing the truth of her deception from coming out (all of this while actively avoiding her responsibilities at the Inner Temple because of Larry's "blackmail" letter which also threatened to expose her "secret"), why is this the one bit of truth she chooses to divulge here? Or rather: why is this the one thing she seemingly cannot lie about?

Obviously the answer lies in Iris' past and the permanent damage that was done to her and her family due to the politics of the Fey clan, with the Kurain Channeling Technique at the root, and the DL-6 incident as the event that brought everything to ruin. Iris bore witness to her mother Morgan losing the title of Master of Kurain due to her inferior powers and the despair that caused her, then three years later saw her aunt Misty who, despite purportedly being so much better than her mother, made a mistake while channeling that led to an innocent man's conviction, disgracing the Fey name and causing her to flee the village in shame. With this in mind, it makes sense that Iris would feel so strongly about spiritual powers doing more harm than good; after all, she has firsthand experience of the damage that can be done to the women that have it.

But what of the women that don't have it—namely, Iris herself? What happens to a spirit medium, born of the Fey bloodline, daughter of the then-master of her channeling school, when she's shown to not have any spiritual powers? I'm of the opinion that Iris' hatred is not only a product of what she's seen happen to her mother and aunt, but also very closely tied to what is, essentially, her earliest failure in life—after all, what good is a medium who can't channel? Fey women are raised to believe that their worth is linked to how well they can perform the service of their clan, which is the same reason why Maya beats herself up for failing to channel Mia in Turnabout Goodbyes and Pearl does the same with Dahlia later in this case. In a sense, Iris' hatred of spirit channeling is an externalization of her own self-hatred—unlike Dahlia, who mainly copes by lashing out and seeking revenge on those who wrong her, Iris is far too gentle and loving to lay blame on any one person. But all that repressed guilt and anger still has to go somewhere—and it manifests through this one small crack in her otherwise flawless facade. The one thing she cannot bring herself to find beauty in no matter how much she tries. The one thing that should have given her purpose but didn't—leaving her no choice but to mold herself beyond recognition over and over into roles that aren't truly her own, but at the very least give her meaning where she was denied it before.

And knowing her? She probably hates that flaw more than anything.

your narumitsu art made me weep with joy and I heard you want more requests 👀

idk if this is the right place to put them but I think phoenix coming with miles to try on his glasses for the first time would be sweet :,) miles asking how they look and phoenix being just smitten. the good stuff

Dear anon… you sure know how to pick em! Things got very out of hand very quickly while drawing, and well. You inspired me to draft a comic! I didn’t want to make you wait long, so here are the sketches for the pages relevant to your request <3

Thanks so much, and hope you enjoy~! 💜

Based on personal experience and from watching gaming channels, I feel like this is the experience of every wrightworth shipper when playing ace attorney for the first time…

Player: oh ok, so they’re rivals with a contrasting colour scheme. No wonder people ship them

Edgeworth to Phoenix: thanks to you im saddled with unnecessary…feelings…

Player: wait a minute! Yo, are they actually gay?

Player: *spends most of the game after that just joking about the gay subtext but not thinking too much about it*

Phoenix: *reveals his and Edgeworth’s history and why he became an attorney*

Player: HOLY SHIT THEYRE ACTUALLY IN LOVE!! THEY ARE SOULMATES!!

More Than Just a Theory

narumitsu / wrightworth

People often talk about the 'meet them twice' theory. This theory has a few interpretations (NaruMitsu edition):

1. You meet someone at an earlier time, lose contact and disconnect, but connecting with them again at a later time.

The first time Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth met, they were in fourth grade. Phoenix recalls the class trial more often than he should. He never forgot Miles for what he's done to help him and was determined to do whatever it takes to repay him for his kindness.

When Miles disappeared suddenly from school, Phoenix was devastated. Larry, concerned, tried his best to cheer him up but to no avail, Phoenix was destroyed.

Life happens and he decides to be an attorney, in hopes that he'll meet Miles again in court and can repay him like he should have done years ago.

His prayers are answered.

2. You meet someone and lose contact with them but you find them in someone else that you meet.

During his university years, Phoenix was involved in a murder case involving his girlfriend at the time, his Dollie, Dahlia Hawthorne. Mia Fey fought relentlessly for Phoenix's innocence and this only reminded him more and more of Miles and the class trial.

Phoenix saw a part of Miles in Mia and this led him to start his journey as an attorney.

3. You meet someone on a surface level, but then you really meet them.

When they meet in court for the first time, their eyes reconnect like the last time they met each other was yesterday. It was an instant connection. Phoenix was face-to-face with the pair of eyes that he's been thinking of for years. The reason why he's an attorney today is standing across from him in the courtroom.

The only thing they knew about each other was surface level. Nothing out of the ordinary. It wasn't until Miles' 'suicide' note that Phoenix regretted not getting to know him on a more intimate level rather than coldly nodding in the hallways. Phoenix grieves on what could have been.

The day Miles came back, it was like he was a new person. And now, Phoenix finally gets to know the real him; the Miles Edgeworth that fights for the truth, who fights for what's right.

The one thing that connects all these interpretations together is that no matter what, the universe always has a way of bringing two people together; regardless if one of those people are represented in another person.

Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth were destined for each other, whether they liked it or not (they do).
