#and these are characters from FUNNY MEME GAME

[skyblueartt]

Imma shut up soon omg but in this fic I’m writing (I’ll uh, get back to it at some point), I’m totally making Henry in love with William and mainly for the sake of tragedy. This man is going to single-handedly ruin Henry’s life and destroy everything he loves in the future 😀 but “ohh he’s hot and he’s British and he’s tall and has dark hair…” He’s going to MURDER YOUR CHILD BRO

can we talk about the fact that the icons, the memes, the tumblr sexymen who broke history, reigen arataka and sans undertale, are both some of the most exceptionally written and executed characters i have ever had the pleasure of stumbling across? please can we talk about that?

strangely the writers hate gale for completely different reasons but still don't make jokes about how we all want to fuck mystra. in EA if you made that kind of joke about cazador in front of astarion he threatens to kill you. as he SHOULD.

Making a meme so everyone knows that I haven't died yet (i'm cooking a piece rn dw-)

[lollipopmixclo9]

was fighting my artblock but got inspired by how much ppl made quotes about the Look Back movie 🥹

I couldn't pick one character, so I bundled them up! Honestly, the guilty favorite is just an excuse for me to draw Jane and Ben 🙈

i rarely if ever go "he would NOT fucking say that" about this cat books EXCEPT for FIRESTAR of all people defending clear sky and kissing his boots. ALSO, firestar and graystripe have no reason to even be commenting on this situation except to be a mouthpiece for how SAD AND LONELY AND NICE clear sky is, this happens with EVERY shitty man the writers get attached to.

It's the most forced thing I've ever read, I think I've done a Reverse Ghandi and clipped through the roof of the rage integer and just come right back around into humor. This writer is sooooo maaaaadd, they had to take the two most beloved characters in the series and imagine them naysaying all the haters to cope with the intense trauma of Internet People Don't Like My OC :(

We really have blown right past "annoying amounts of on-screen toesucking," they've recruited soldiers in the Great Toesucking War. This is only something you do when you're Completely And Totally Unbothered by meanies saying terrible things like "Clear Sky should stop beating the shit out of random women."

Would it be funny if I wrote a sad emotional song about Blue Oak from Pokémon?

If you gave a me dollar everytime Piemon was introduced as one of the first Ultimate level Digimon in the franchise to display the difference between Perfect and Ultimate, I'd have four dollars, which isn't a lot but it's funny to me that it's happened four times

Like you introduce An Extremely Powerful Threat in your story that your protagonist has to overcome, and in this god forsaken series, four different times it's been the exact same clown

i know that tmosth isnt canon but also i like how shadow was written there. hoping this is a look at what he might be like now that the rules surrounding how he should be written have changed a little

aa5 and aa6 spoilers here!

another reason why aa1, 2, 3 and 4 "feel" different from 5 and 6 - different writer. yamazaki isn't necessarily a bad writer, he did write some banger cases for ace attorney investigations 2 and i think also 1 as well. i'm not sure if aa5 and 6 are a result of too many cooks spoiling the broth, executive meddling or what, but... it does lose something.

shu takumi's writing is hallmarked by its lightheartedness, its focus and dedication to the comedic elements while never neglecting the emotional heart of the characters. it is characterized by simple, domestic events between family and friends. there are no bombs blowing up the courtroom, no dark age of the law (except for, well, rfta), no massive political revolutions. the stakes are relatively low and local, focusing instead on the family drama of the feys, the gramaryes, the angst of edgeworth, and how phoenix gets dragged into the tangle of their lives.

it is interesting and compelling storytelling because a LOT of storytelling time is spent on motive, characters, and how they feel about events. the funny moments endear you to the characters all the more, and the optional dialogue makes them seem more human and relatable. phoenix's snarky inner monologue and huge heart work together to grant him a distinct and unique character voice that makes you want to root for him. aa5 and aa6 try to focus more on grander stakes and simplified plotlines about good and evil, the lawyers v. the phantom who is unapologetically evil, the lawyers v. ga'ran who is fundamentally unsympathetic. it's not really as nuanced as say, morgan, who is definitely evil, but her motivation for being so is more fleshed out based on how jealous she was and her desire to elevate pearly to a higher status and escape being the branch family. the sense of urgency to events, and flat-ness of some of the humorous elements, causes you to connect with the characters less. phoenix is much less connected/engaged with trucy than he was in aa4, for example. his beanix personality is all but gone. apollo is also noticeably less connected with trucy whereas in aa4 they were joined at the hip. this is one of the more egregious examples but there are more, like klavier being reduced to a one-dimensional fanservice robot and a lack of explanation of any aa4 plot threads.

while the writing is not the best, i believe aa5 and aa6 do have some good things on offer. the stories and adventures are engaging, have some decent humor in them, and the pacing isn't bad. but the lack of takumi's input is really, really felt and makes them weaker entries in the franchise. i feel it is harder to get excited about replaying them than it is to get excited about replaying 1-2-3-4.

Do y'all remember the days where Youtube was consistently flooded with fingerboarding trick videos and people doing parkour on skyscrapers?

once we're out of the tutorial she gives us advice encouragement and gifts without battling us for three entire badges of her own story route explicitly out of not wanting to be an inconsiderate battle obsessed stalker freak the way she's usually treated as and apologizes to us for coming off as

she doesn't want to scare off this potential real friend who's made her happier than she's ever been since becoming a champion, because they might not resent her like everyone else she tries to befriend and get into her hobby does, and is willing to put what she wants aside for their sake for a while

and what do we do here on the internet? treat her like a freak anyway, even if we find it endearing

we would've fought gary four times by then lmao

nemona feels like an obscure blorbo instead of the main rival character from the latest pokemon game because to get to her really good content from people who really get it, you first have to wade through the ocean of yandere pervert obsessive stalker annoying punchable bimbo amazon goddess interpretations of...

... a neurodivergent and possibly disabled high schooler who's desperately trying to make any friends or get any support from her rich neglectful family - while everyone in her school is jealous of their own imagined version of a privileged asshole version of her they made up - who deeply and platonically loves and supports the one new kid who agreed to take the time to get to know and respect her and her special interest without having to hold back her true self

unlike her, it's not great!

kinda feels like she has the same problem in our world that she does in hers.
