This gig is doing wonders for my self-esteem related to my age tbh

yes, yes i know edgeworth’s big wet eyes and loser boy personality have captivated us all, but listen. listen.

phoenix wright

phoenix “genuinely unable to reconcile the girl on the stand with the girl he dated for eight months, a cognitive dissonance so profound it’s ultimately explained by them being literally two different people, but which he first sits with for five years and does not talk about at any point to anyone” wright

phoenix “don’t mention that name to me. i don’t want to talk about it. i don’t want to think about it. i am just going to keep myself in this state of perpetual crisis mode focus on other people’s problems until eventually i die and get to hang out with mia on the astral plane and never have to deal with any of these emotions ever again” wright

phoenix “overnight loses his career and reputation and sense of identity while gaining an adopted, probably pretty traumatized eight-year-old daughter, and rather than leaning on his friends for help, or getting therapy, or taking any time to process any of this, he *checks notes* spends seven years dedicating all his free time and energy to investigating the weird fucking circumstances around it and maintains a friendship with the guy he suspects was behind it all” wright

phoenix "runs across a burning bridge and falls through it, half a day after the game establishes that he is terrified of heights, because his friend is on the other side of that bridge" wright

phoenix “i sure felt surprised. maybe i had my poker face on” wright

phoenix “looking back on it that was actually a pretty dark period in my life” wright

phoenix “don’t ask me how i got started. i don’t remember” wright

phoenix “only you stood still, your eyes calmly watching” wright

phoenix “sometimes, life just sucks” wright

i used to think i had crushes on people but it turns out i was just terribly socially anxious and all that flustered behavior was me being awkward

[ind1c0lite]

(Basic context is that AU of Duel Desinties where the phantom impersonates Phoenix to get him found guilty of Clay's murder, I talk more under the cut abt it jkhlj)

-Basically meant to be a parallel to turnabout trump, cause if you can have ONE boss get found guilty of murder, why not a second one?

-OK basically: everything in DD happens normally until like- a day before clays murder, Phoenix gets yoinked by the phantom somehow (he is still alive, just being held captive), Phantom is still Fulbright, but they've decided to be silly goofy (target Phoenix and get him found guilty of murder, escape police custody and then murder phoenix and make it seem like Phoenix accidentally died while on the run, thats why they didn't kill phoenix right away unlike the real Fulbright) there is an imposter amo-

-I dont have the logistics as to how this affects solving Metis's murder, and how it effects what evidence is used n whatnot and turnabout for tomorrow as a whole, so im just going nuts HGJKHLJ

-Originally I was actually imagining this taking place during turnabout for tomorrow and I wanted that case to be apollo v klavier instead of phoenix and edgeworth and thats why klav is in here instead of Simon (I decided that Simon got badly injured and couldn't stand in court for the retrial, so klavier was asked to step in)

-The courtroom bombing still happens the same way it does normally, but Apollo decides to take up the case again instead of taking a leave, instead of like, you know, healing from the traumatic event that just happened, turnabout countdown still happens as well

-Apollo and Athena do not find out about the phantom's existence until well after this trial, so they have no idea that Phoenix could've possibly been replaced, though simon, after hearing about the trial, might be suspicious about whether or not that was the real Phoenix

-The Phantom had been not only keeping an eye on Simon for a while, but was also stalking Phoenix and Edgeworth after they both started looking into UR-1, so they were able to impersonate phoenix so well that not even his own daughter thought that anything was up (though while Trucy did find him a *little* bit off, but she figured that it might've been the bombing that caused him to act ever so slightly weird, so she didn't pay much mind to it until she heard about his confession in court and realized it might've been because he possibly, ya know, killed someone)

-it's pretty much just switching Athena being framed for murder with Phoenix, and instead of the trial ending on a cliffhanger, it continues on (probably with Klavier insisting on it) ending with soloman being found innocent and Phoenix being declared guilty

-There's a couple days inbetween the end of the cosmic turnabout and the start of turnabout for tomorrow, so Athena, Apollo and Trucy all get a little bit to process the fact that "oh god my boss/my dad killed someone" (simons execution date is pushed back a bit in this au) and they probably get to talk with Klavier and eventually a lil bit with Simon after he gets out

-Im not sure how it all winds down in turnabout for tomorrow (Phoenix escaping and being at large is basically the perfect cover for the phantom to resume being fulbright for that trial) but they do eventually realize that the phoenix who confessed wasn't the real one and now there's a search on going to find out where the real one is being held captive, hes fineeee just ready to take a week long nap and a good vacation (along with every other waa member)

-I dont have anything else to add on rn but if you want to add something or just throw in a scenario feel free to!! this idea has been bouncing around my head for like a month now and Im very happy to finally show yall it

Heartstopper s3 comes out tomorrow and honestly, the thing I'm the most excited (and anxious) about is Isaac's arc. Of course I'm excited to see the scenes I love from the comic adapted to television; of course I'm excited to see the fluffy romance, and Charlie's struggles with his mental health and his ED, and the uni arc, and all of the characters growing up and evolving as people. But Isaac's story, not only is it completely new, it's also much more personal to me. It's still an extremely rare thing to see aroace characters represented on screen and having their stories told, and basically a nonexistent one in mainstream media (nobody I know outside of aroace circles and a few niche drama communities has any idea what Koisenu Futari is, for instance - which is a shame by the way). His arc was the most touching part of s2 to me - I cried, I laughed, and got extremely emotional in a general sense. That feeling of seeing myself in a character - in a mainstream show nonetheless - is something extremely special, and this kind of representation is a big step for the community in general too. Especially because while Isaac's s2 storyline did make me emotional, it was still quite hidden and easy to throw to the side among all the other plots. It may have been the most noteworthy part of the season to me, an aroace individual, who has the context of what the character's going through, but a lot of the general audience completely missed the intent and are still thinking to this day that the show's intentions was/is to make Isaac and James a couple. So the clarity and focus s3 is going to provide (or at least I sincerely hope it will) are extremely necessary for the character's journey and identity to be brought to the front and understood by the general public, besides doing his character arc (and what it represents to a lot of people) justice. Part of me is really nervous and afraid that they'll screw it up in some way - but mostly I'm really, really excited (especially with Alice being the one in command!). Seeing that one scene where Tao and Elle are being all lovey-dovey while he's there looking uncomfortable and isolated in the trailer really made me believe that they'll give his story the focus it deserves - and that he'll really represent and give voice to the aroace teen (and general) experience in a really accurate and heartfelt way (Alice themselves is an aroace person and the one who made Loveless - so it's safe to say my expectations are extremely high). I'll probably be back tomorrow with a lot of thoughts and emotions no matter the outcome, but I truly hope it will be with a warm heart and a lot of praise for the great representation.
