Dear Antixanthomonas, 

It’s like Ryunosuke to describe that of me, but those only describe me on a surface level. I don’t even have to go through every point to state my reason why.

Updating my url because antixanthomonas means lesbian rice lover (no you can't figure out how) and due to me discovering my gender identity and the men in the game The Great Ace Attorney, I'm no longer a lesbian (yes, I hate the cliché lesbians haven't found the right dude yet as much as the next guy).

So I'm going to try some different urls until I find one I want to stick with. This post will be pinned until that happens.

Dear Antixanthomonas, 

There are those that consider me a gender? What has the intelligence of this world come to?

Dear Fraud Commitee, 

I decline.

Dear Antixanthomonas,

First off, I initially never intended on assassinating or killing anyone when I signed that contract. Perhaps, it was reckless, but nevertheless, it was NEVER my intention to take another person’s life. 

Second, how dare you insinuate that I would murder my own mentor! Yes, I was intending on avenging my father and I did prosecute Lord Van Zieks, but the intention was overall to FIND. THE. TRUTH! Do you honestly believe I’d trust any other prosecutor of the highest levels to prosecute that man!? NO! I especially wouldn’t have trusted my most beloved and trusted friend to represent him, if heaven forbid I intended on using my position to send him to the bloody gallows! 

I’m sorry if that comes across too harsh, but the idea is just... even as angry as I was, I respected that man too much to hold my sword against him. Even Gregson, I was looking for answers and my attempt to kill him was out of pure heat. I stopped, because the idea of taking another person’s life is not who I am.  

Ryunosuke is the one man I would trust with Karuma. If I am not able to produce an offspring of my own, I would likely pass Karuma to his kin.

Dear Antixanthomonas, 

Only in the public eye. I did talk to him and he did have to take my measurements to ensure this tailored outfit was the right size. Obviously, that couldn’t happen, unless I semi stripped to my waist. Beyond that, I would write to him via paperwork assignments he gave me. 

At first, it was very heated. We had our first fight and I was very aggressive to him. Obviously, he was just as aggressive to me and I told him that I hated him. We both have said things to each other we didn’t mean. It was also the first time he ever called me “Nipponese.” Before, he never called me that, even whilst knowing the country I was from, if the inspiration of my outfit from the Japanese flag didn’t give that away. We have since made up. 

Strangely, those days of tension has brought us closer. I can certainly say that I respect and trust that man more than anyone I know. He never belittles me or hides anything from me. He’s been nothing, but truthful and kind. Not to mention....

I doubt I’d have been able to survive in a foreign country alone with memory loss without him.

Dear Antixanthomonas, 

Aside from my trial, he was a delight to have as my student. He is brilliant, listens to instructions, never complains, is open to asking questions, is noble, is polite and has a way of calming my anger during trials as my co-council. 

He was not allowed to speak or show his true appearance to anyone, but it wasn’t to say he never found ways around Lord Stronghart’s orders. Much like myself, he never trusted that man and is not one to be controlled, even with memory loss. He did speak to me when it was just the two of us and took off his cloak and mask when I assisted in taking his measurements for the outfit he wore under his cloak. Those were the only times I’d say he didn’t follow Stronghart’s orders so to speak. 

Admittedly, we did have our first ever fight, after he gained back his memories. We both have strong personalities, so it is easy for either of us to get heated very quickly. We have made up since. Strangely enough, that fight has since strengthen my trust. Kazuma is the one person I know will never hide his feelings from me or cower from his sins. 

Perhaps, in time, I may ask for his thoughts on how I should arrange my vintage.

Dear Antixanthomonas, 

Well, of course he’s gay. Even if he might look cold and unfeeling, that doesn’t mean he isn’t joyful.

Dear Vendla, 

I don’t know yet, but I’m not giving up. I know he’s been ignoring my letters, but I don’t believe he’s a demon or long gone.

I know you’re worried about me, but you don’t understand. You’ve never met Miles or seen what he was like. You don’t know anything about him. Just because he acts like one thing, that doesn’t mean that’s all he is or who he is. What you see as a demonic, cold-hearted man I see as a cry for help. 

If he’s long gone, then I will find out myself, but I don’t believe he is. Besides, isn’t it a lawyer’s job to believe in their clients until the bitter end? How can I do that, if I can’t believe in my friends, even old ones from childhood?

Dear Antixanthomonas,

Oh wow, these look pretty nice. I like them.

(Why is it that fan art of Kazuma always looks like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed as a Prosecutor? I know he’s got a temper, but... this is Kazuma we’re talking!)

(I’m pretty sure changing careers didn’t change him or am I missing something?)

Dear Antixanthomonas,

I wasn’t aware of any glaring contests taking place.  Perhaps I should enter one of them, now that you mention it.  I do remain heretofore undefeated, after all.

Dear Somebody-who-is-nervous-for-her-math-final,

Yes, in fact, I am very fascinated with the different maths and subjects. You will certainly never find a subject that is the most universally agreed and understood.

Dear Antixanthomonas,

Asking me whether a defense attorney did a good job is like asking how far an ant was able to move a ten-ton boulder.  Defense attorneys of all calibers exist only to be crushed by the prosecution.

So far as I can recall, however, no defendant, witness, lawyer, or other related party has lost their life in the courtroom during my illustrious career.  Whatever foolish insinuations you intend to make, you will keep them to yourself in the future.  Is that understood?

Dear Anonymous,

Mod Edgeworth: No. We will treat any letter written to the AA characters with the Japanese version of the names like any other letter, but it will be answered in the English dubbed names.

Co-Mod: Someone went back in time and changed everything, Back to the Future-style.  That’s the best I can come up with, anyway.

Dear Antixanthomonas,

Mod Edgeworth: 

Yeah, I really shot myself in the foot there. I did fix the letter, so it will reference the Seven Days of Sin Special for The Great Ace Attorney. It’s available in the Special Features, if you preordered the game or on YouTube.

Speaking of the DLC cases, neither will be considered canon. While I do believe that Japan’s side was intended on being canon, I have also discovered that the Masked Apprentice was originally supposed to be a different character and Kazuma was supposed to have remained dead. Combining the two characters was something only brought up in the second game. As a result, there are a lot of inconsistencies in the DLC Case on Japan’s Side that contradict the events of the second game. It was a good DLC game and it’s a shame that we have to not consider it canon, but... alas, it must be done. 

So yes, the DLC cases of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles will officially be treated as the Asinine Cases. In other words, not canon. The Escapades, on the other hand, are under reconsideration after some thinking. We’ll let you know in the future around January.

Dear siacatgirl,

Mod Edgeworth: I don’t think so? We do tag major characters to make it easier to find the letters.

Dear dawsongfg,

Co-Mod: That happens a lot here.  You can make a lot of money fixing or replacing desks in the Ace Attorney universe.

Dear Anonymous,

Co-Mod: I’d guess Apollo, since he’s one of the younger members and has a bit more of a temper than the others.  Not to mention an “unreliable streak,” according to Phoenix, according to Maya.

Dear Anonymous,

Co-Mod: There’s only one problem with that...

We delete the spammy letters we get anyway, so don’t worry about clogging up our queue with them.

Mod Edgeworth: If you’re Dawsongfg, then we shall gladly delete them. 

Dear Anonymous,

Mod Edgeworth: Actually,  I am considering deleting all of them, since we got an anonymous letter asking us to delete their spam letters. That would be the letter above this one. I suspect it’s from Dawsongfg and, if that’s true, then we’ll delete all of them. If not, oh well.

Dear pojofi96,

Co-Mod: “Stuff” refers to letters to the characters, or to one of us Mods.  I’m not aware of a second inbox, so if you’ve seen one, please point us to it.

Mod Edgeworth: Submit Letters here is likely the ask box like what you’re using to submit that letter right now.

Dear dawsongfh,

Co-Mod: If you’re referring to the Rick Roll in this post, I was just returning the favor.  One good roll deserves another, right?

Dear Gumshoe “Letty” Fan,

Co-Mod:

(A little something I made for my sister’s birthday one time.)

And congratulations on the 1-year anniversary!  I’m super glad we’ve been able to keep someone entertained for that long, and hope we can keep it up for a good, long while.  And thanks a bunch for giving us gifts for your birthday!  You guessed right about my favorite character, but the backflipping Apollo GIF made me crack up.  I can maybe see Trucy doing something like that, but not Apollo, so that was hilariously unexpected.

That’s a nice icon, by the way.  Who wouldn’t want to give poor Gumshoe a pat on the head?

Mod Edgeworth: 

Happy birthday and love the Miles Edgeworth gif. Him and Kazuma are my two baes, so anything with them is good in my books XD

Mod Justice:

(What... the... [CENSORED]?!)

*SNRK* I... guess my time watching SMG4 videos wasn’t enough for me to not react like that... heh heh.

(Come on, Mod Justice... You’ve dealt with worse.)

Happy early birthday to you, “Gumshoe Letty Fan.” Hope it’s filled with fun and exciting memories!

Dear Honest Friend,

Co-Mod: You’re welcome, and thank you for your kind words!  It may not be possible to find a place where you’re completely safe from discomfort, arguments, and people with bad attitudes, especially on the internet, but it’s always good to find something that can unite people of different beliefs, values, and walks of life, even if it’s just love for a video game series.  Thanks for reminding us of that truth.

Have a pleasant day yourself!  We can all use one every now and then.

Mod Edgeworth: Thank you and I was pretty upset with Co-Mod’s personal account being out in the open like that. Not to say he’s never revealed his face or anything before, but it was the fact it was done through a private email that bugged me. 

I was truly afraid they’d dox me out as well, even giving away my true gender. It might be something trivial, but even revealing my true gender is something personal to me, including my sexuality and race. Luckily, they didn’t reveal anything else and called me by they/them pronouns to keep my gender a secret, so I am grateful for that. They also don’t know my race, but not sure about my sexuality. I don’t think they know that either.

Mod Justice: I’m glad everyone can agree on that.

Although I think this is another one of those incidents that proves the age-old adage regarding political discussion: “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.”

([CENSORED] Hell, I hate politics.)

Regardless, thank you for your generosity. I just hope we can move on from this incident with no other problems.

Dear Antixanthomonas, 

I suppose I wanted to get to Mr. Naruhodo as soon as I could. I knew he was in need of my help with his latest case.

(I’m also most certain that he misses me dearly.)
