#Phoenix Answers Asks

[phoenixyfriend]

i was someone who did originally follow you for star wars stuff (and i still like ur star wars stuff), but honestly i’m… now, like, less inclined to unfollow when you post abt things like colourpop or the news and such. like, maybe i’m just not following the right people, but it is really nice to follow someone who explains issues in a way that i think is really accessible, does so without guilt tripping, and also in a way that outlines concrete steps one can take to mitigate them. like, i’ve never read twilight but most of my friends did, and i never knew about the racism in it until you explained it in a way that doesn’t guilt-trip people for liking it but also explains how to mitigate some of the harm caused by it. if i had social media other than tumblr i can probably guarantee your posts about this would’ve gotten me to messages the company. also there aren’t many blogs that tag as thoroughly as you (i have no idea how you do it - i tried, it took so much of my energy and was so confusing to remember - but i really like it since it helps so much with filtering). so yeah lol sorry this got long, but i just wanted to say that i can see how people are unfollowing, but also as someone who originally came here for sw stuff i like the way you post about things in general, it’s actually made you noticeable enough on my dash that i wouldn’t really unfollow now, yk?

ANON THIS IS SO SWEET I IMMEDIATELY TOOK SCREENSHOTS AND RAN OFF TO SHOW SOME FRIENDS

I do take pride in explaining things in ways that I hope are understandable and not too guilt-trippy and follow that Persuasive Essay Structure where you include a call to action.

Also I have two tricks to make my tagging faster:

Download Xkit Rewritten and use the Quick Tags function for anything you tag a LOT (I'll add a snippet of some of mine at bottom)

I frequently draft instead of reblog. That means I can use the quick tags once I get back to my laptop, and if I've drafted a lot of posts that are about one topic that I don't plan to come back too in the future (e.g. the superbowl), I can copy-paste that into the freeform part of the quick tags.

Some of my quicktags as seen in the extension (I have 22 in total at the moment):

This is how it shows up on my drafts page. The "Tags (comma separated)" bit is the freeform:

Oh, I know a really good post, and this one's got a link to a video series on Sashiko stitching. (Also I have a tag.)

WELP.

fucked around and found out!

Anyone got some good jeans-patching resources? I kinda hulked through this pair, the inner thigh's fabric is more or less SHREDDED to bits so it can't just be re-sewn, I need reinforcements

I have a bag of soft cotton flannel in a few different colours from when I was trying to sew plushies n things, that'll work right?

what are some tropes for romantic scenes/moments you like? for scientific purposes 🌸

idk what trope specifically but imo I like stuff that's like peaceful, quiet and sentimental. Hope that helps?

I saw an interesting post a while back that said “Capcom made us [Miles and Diego/Godot] only have like two(?) interactions because they knew we would be unstoppable with a brother dynamic” and tbh it stuck with me bc it was intriguing.

So yeah that potential brotherhood, but that Godot/Diego AU I made (that I still need a name for)

Also I bet Gregory Edgeworth would have smelled like a bit like coffee, and so Diego just reminds Miles of that comforting presence 😭 (the von Karma estate was a tea household, so he didn’t smell much coffee after DL-6 and didn’t realize how much he missed it/reminded him of his father)

How would your blorbos react if you accidentally walked in on them naked. 🤔

To provide more context for ya it can be a non-established relationship

Or early on in the relationship. Let’s just say you saw a fair amount of….well almost everything 😅😏

-🌕

>.>

<.<

😇

Oh man, walking in on Kid is one of those - Oh. - moments. It's hard not to stare. It's hard when you stare. I can picture Kid looking down and then looking back over at you.

"Wanna a ride, sweetheart, or a picture?"

It's a legit offer, mind your words carefully.

Sabo has half as much sense as he'd like to admit he does - instead of pulling his pants back up he grabs his hat and covers himself, red down to shoulders regardless of what expression he's managed to put on his face.

His shy reaction will likely prompt you to close the door, but if you don't - if you, say, continue with whatever you came in to say to him, he'll manage. Aside from holding his hat in place, he'll be comfortable enough.

... which... now... I'm just imagining updating Sabo on something and he's standing there naked save for a pair of gloves and his hat over his dick.

...

/ahem/

Marco won't bother to cover up, and is more likely to turn toward you and ask you what you needed. His expression will be relaxed (if you can even tear your eyes away from his cock to SEE his face), and his tone will be easy and and inviting.

He'll talk business if you can keep your wits about you, but he will teasingly flirt you with his words if you lose your composure. Something more physical could certainly happen, but he's going to follow whatever flow presents itself, so he won't push it if the opening isn't there.

Thatch will cover himself with his scarf.

... it is not terribly effective.

Tomatoes would be envious at the manner of red Thatch turns.

If YOU flirt with him he'll crumple like a house of cards, but otherwise you will likely get a very meek plea to allow him to get dressed before you continue talking business. He *cannot* concentrate like this.

Izou will act like he's clothed. Good luck to you, one way or the other. If you're lucky the only thing that he will be wearing is some lipstick and a pair of gloves.

Sir Crocodile does not get accidentally walked in on. But you don't need to know that. You'll need to make up for viewing him thus without permission - don't panic, he's sure you'll... appreciate the punishment.

Shanks probably walks around naked on the deck of the ship so much you're not seeing him naked for the first time when you walk into his room. He's laying in bed naked with a rose in his mouth giving you bedroom eyes and you don't even look up from your report, setting it on the table and informing him you're allergic to roses, and he should put on pants before coming out on deck.

“Twin Talk Part 1” WIP

The heroes have just met up with Sabin on Mt. Kolts and Locke has a few questions 🤨🧐🤔

The conversation continues in Part 2, which is forthcoming!

(This story is inspired by Blackbert and Logbert, two black chocobo plushies that I made in 2008-2009. They sat on my bed for many years. The big one is the little brother and the little one is the big brother.)

You’ve known Phoenix wright for a long time. What’s one of the dumbest things you’ve seen him do?

“Most recently? Show up to court without any of his files or evidence because he forgot them at the crime scene. He still won.”

[thepoggersdilemma]

I'm just curious why you are passionate about the colourpop thing specifically, since you don't usually post about either makeup or twilight. Is there a reason?? (Also, I don't mind that you keep posting, I'm just mildly bemused.)

Well... just because I don't talk about it much doesn't mean I don't talk about it. It's just usually more in the realm of watching YouTube videos about cosmetics and a nostalgia for the books. Pictures unter the cut.

But also...

The short and easy answer is that it's something I feel I might be able to actually impact. The target is big enough that I don't feel bad about possibly ruining a life by accident if I start something, but not so big that I feel ineffectual. I don't think I'm enough to turn the tide of even something like a local election, but I MIGHT have enough people in my corner to badger a company into doing something if only as good PR for their image.

I understand the issue, and it's ethically a pretty clear cut one. A marginalized group (the Quileute tribe) was used by someone in power (Meyer) in a hurtful way (racism) for her own benefit (fame and money) with no compensation. There's a clear villain to this dynamic.

Colourpop didn't need to enter this discourse by doing a collaboration, but they did, so they've now opted in to being held to making a statement. In continuing to make money off of the image and racist representations of a marginalized group, they also are choosing to remain in that discourse.

There's a reasonable solution that COULD materially help the marginalized group in question. It's actionable and available, meaning there's a goal and an endpoint. It's not an issue that takes years or decades of research and legislature, but a fairly simple demand: donate to mthg, or make a statement explaining why not. Two choices, and at most they need to sit down with any stakeholders to discuss a plan. The Quileute are crowdfunding to move their people to safety in the face of rising sea levels. Colourpop can't really unmake the merchandise, but they CAN set some of the profits aside to compensate people they are using a marketing.

There are multiple avenues of communication open, some of which they publicly respond to, so there are options through which to pressure them, if only with people engage.

The concept is fairly easy to explain to both people who are unfamiliar, and to colourpop itself. If it gets picked up by a blogger or tiktok star with a moderate following, it's digestible enough that it could gain traction instead of stagnating as too niche.

So... yeah. It's possibly achievable, ethically straightforward, and had actionable goals. It doesn't feel impossible, it's clear-cut, and it has a defined endpoint.

Also, the the white guilt of owning all the twilight books including a signed copy of Life and Death because even in 2015 my critical thinking skills were a little underdeveloped.

But mostly it's the other stuff, plus it's actually a really nice palette and some cool eyeliners and whatnot, but I cannot in good faith buy it and that frustrates me.

Anyway. Pics.

It's not the biggest collection, but it's also not exactly small. Also I have some at work.

Have you ever considered filing a lawsuit yourself for the way certain prosecutors keep attacking you in the courtroom?

“I did. A marriage license with their boss.”

Have you met Phoenix Wright before? Thoughts on that guy?

“Mr. Wright is scary… but Mr. Edgeworth likes him.”

“Fine. Made one.”

“But I’m not explaining.”

Who do you think likes to play chase? And who prefers to hunt?

Oooooh.....

Prefers Play Chasing:

Marco, Thatch, Kaku, Smoker, Law, Doflamingo, Rosinante, Sabo, Heat, Bartolomeo, Katakuri, Koby, Sanji, Usopp, Rayleigh, Ace, Paulie

Prefers to Hunt:

Lucci, Sir Crocodile, Kid, Killer, Wire, X Drake, Penguin, Shachi, Mihawk, Zoro, Yonji, Niji, Ichiji, Izou

Admittedly I see a few as being very flexible, in that even their preference could really be day to day:

Sabo, Rayleigh, Crocodile, Marco, Killer come to mind first and foremost.

And yeah, Penguin and Shachi seem like chase over hunt at first glance, but I think they still prefer hunting. There's just something that shifts in them once they're given permission to be in charge >.>

X Drake prefers hunting because then he's braced for it - if you ask for a lighter chase he'll be fighting the desire to just hunt you down the entire time. Man ends up conflicted.

Doflamingo is actually hunting you, but he will not shut up about how it's just a chase, it's just a light-hearted thing, it's nothing so scary as a hunt - how can it be a hunt when you're already caught in his web?

Stand alone bonus XD

Prefers to neither chase nor hunt, get your ass over to them Now:

Izou, Kid, Sir Crocodile
