One of the most fun and interesting things about the ace attorney games is that all of the main characters are deeply flawed.

From Edgeworth's disappearing/reappearing act in aa2, not to mention literally quoting his own SUICIDE NOTE in COURT:

And then in aai, his acting above the law honestly all the time because his special interest is the truth and he's certain he's the best detective around, which is justifiable but kind of extreme,

To the absolute ASS Phoenix was to Apollo all throughout ajaa, which i don't have receipts for but you remember, and his consistent trend of caustically lying to grown people capable of making decisions because he doesn't want to upset them in the moment (eg, the apollo-trucy-thalassa relation that is still hidden),

To the absolutely horrendous SHIT Apollo pulled during Turnabout for Tomorrow, which includes but is not limited to assisting terrorism (encouraging Aura Blackquill to continue the trial), asking for his close friend and motiveless colleague Athena to be arrested for murder, and leaving his ACTUAL SISTER AT GUNPOINT BY A RADICAL TERRORIST, all because he couldn't handle not having trust for like a day. If he had waited literally a day, the trial would have continued (bc at that point Terrans murder hadn't been solved) AND the TWELVE random people and FUCKING TRUCY could have escaped the space station!!! But nooo, polly, do egg on the murderously radicalized Blackquill sibling who spent years hating an actual child SURE GREAT IDEA.

Even the secondary characters have no concept of normal, with simon blackquill being a convicted death row inmate for most of dual destinies, Athena having enough trauma to kill a horse, trucy and maya with abandonment issues, pearly dealing with everything morgan and dahlia did, and Lana and ema's whole thing, not to mention the von karma fiasco.

Honestly the most normal person in all the games is klavier, who is a world famous pop star with an insane and violent serial poisoner as a brother.

I love all the characters in this game, nick and miles are my blorbos, and I adore nearly everybody else, but damn if this game doesn't make some extremely flawed little guys. Ask my parents or friends, they'll tell you how angry I got at points, lmao.

And i haven't even played SOJ or TGAA yet. I should probably be worried.

This scene is so funny to me though...

Call my humor that of a 12 year old but I just like to think he was thinking something comical on the inside like-

*inhales* 🕯️Bad vibes be gone 🕯️*exhales*

*inhales* 🕯️thoughts of lukewarm brother, be gone 🕯️ *exhales*

*inhale* 🕯️homoerotic isagi thoughts be gone 🕯️ *exhale*

*inhales* 🕯️the tepidness of these 4 lukewarm(s) be gone 🕯️ *exhale*

Shall we add to my complaints about Dominating Aura? Shall we?

Now THIS is how I envisioned DA would look. At the very least.

Cale looks very menacing here, doesn't he? A glare with dark red surroundings, and the blood-like splatter at the bottom?

And yet this isn't a DA scene, nope! This is Cale talking about the mages in Whipper Kingdom.

My point is,,,, it's very doable to make Cale look intimidating. To make him look Dominating. So with how the scenes with DA have been handled so far, well.... I'm quite disappointed.

God damn it. I'm so fucking tired of bands or artists being exposed for being horrible people. I've been living in blissful ignorance for years about Jack Off Jill, only to find out that they may have sexually assaulted minors on stage by making them pull down their pants. There's also this video of Jessicka and Robin talking (hopefully just gross edgy jokes) about having sex with minors. Video But frankly with all the other accusations I've read and reading Jessicka's responses.. I don't think I can fully shrug it off as shock humor.

I was also recently delving into my old Emilie Autumn fascination and while I knew she was kind of a seasoned liar, I had no idea about the stuff she wrote in her book or some of her photoshoots/performances involving wheelchairs and her tone-deaf take on them as being oppressive.

Back in the day I was also a Marilyn Manson fan and I'm sure we all know how that's gone.

Not to mention a whole swath of other musicians on the goth reddit's problematic bands list I read ages ago.

I'm not expecting these people to be utter perfection, just not abusers. Not actively hurting people. GOD.

@fishshit I consider your post canon so I made it

Edit: I FOUND IT

Edit 2: Yakov trauma

Edit 3: I lied, here's the design rant

Edit 4: Updated design!

Losing enough weight that all your current clothes are too big, but any new clothes are still to small<<<<<<<<<<<<<

[handledwithgloves]

i do personally believe that people should have a safe space to bitch about things they don't like concerning fiction and fandom spaces. the point is that you're not going up to ppl in their faces and telling them off for their own opinion. i created this space for me to complain about it privately even tagging it so that people who do enjoy it wont see it.

i literally state in my pinned post that i dont care what people are into on their own time. my personal opinion on a matter does not reflect who you are as a person and an individual even as i generalize as a whole. if u feel attacked then damn shit idk what to tell u lol

THE UNDERWORLD SAGA MADE ME CRY.

A list.

Polities…

Thank you.

[a-sad-mage]

Hey

Can we talk about the fact, that Eli, a guy known for naming his slugs has yet to name his Enigmo Slug

Because, as far as I can remember, Eli and the Gang, just call Enigmo... Enigmo

Like you would think after like immediately saving Enigmo from that trap, and ultimately keeping him, Eli would name the little guy.

Personally, I've just been calling him Iggy

One of the really fun and interesting things about ace attorney is that actually none of the mcs are normal functioning human beings and they're all deeply flawed. I kid you not, I have spent at least a solid minute DESPISING nearly every main character.

From Edgeworth's disappearing/reappearing act, not to mention literally quoting his own SUICIDE NOTE in COURT in aa2:

And then for a lot of the aai games he actually acts above the law a lot because he's the best detective around and he values the truth more than anything, which while justifiable is a very extreme take,

To the absolute ass Nick was to Apollo during ajaa, which i don't have receipts for but you remember, and also not telling apollo and trucy they're siblings, which actually continues a trend where he tells caustic lies to people to avoid hurting them in the moment,

To that absolutely horrendous SHIT Apollo pulled during turnabout for tomorrow, which includes but is not limited to assisting terrorism (encouraging aura blackquill to continue the trial), asking his close friend and colleague athena be arrested for murder, and ACTUAL SISTER be held at GUNPOINT by a murderous terrorist, all because he couldn't cope with not having trust for like a day. If he had waited for literally a day, the trial would have continued AND the TWELVE random people and FUCKING TRUCY could have escaped the space station, but no, please polly, do egg on the ACTUALLY murderous and radicalized Blackquill sibling who spent 7 years hating an actual child SURE GREAT IDEA.

Even the side characters have absolute no concept of normal, with simon blackquill being a convicted death row inmate for most of dual destinies, Athena having enough trauma to kill a horse, trucy and maya with abandonment issues, pearly dealing with everything morgan and dahlia did, and Lana and ema's whole thing, not to mention the von karma fiasco.

Honestly the most normal person in the games is Klavier, who is a world famous pop star with an insane and violent serial poisoner as a brother.

I love these characters to death, nick and miles are my blorbos and I adore pretty much everybody, but damn if these games aren't great at making flawed characters. Ask my parents or friends, they'll tell you how angry ive gotten, lmao.

And I haven't even played SOJ or TGAA yet.

I'm still trying to figure out how to draw him, but GODDAMN, this is THE coolest design I've seen from genshin. I'm in love with the sailor captain hat + knight headset mishmash. His voice is so badass, his entire vibe is cool.

[preyduo]

"you shouldve brought more than just yourself" this "you shouldve brought an army with you" that but can we talk about cquackitys response which was "i did, in fact i brought the next best thing– i brought my biggest enemy" and ctechno joins and everyone backs up. that was crazy
