#beanix watch out!!!

[snailianz]

Snippet of a comic I'm working on...it's taking forever but it's gonna be good when it's done I promise. Just needs more time in the oven.

[doctorsiren]

I lied I’ll do it in the morning after I’m all hopped up on my ADHD meds and am not supposed to be sleeping

it’s almost 1:30 but I had a quick animatic idea I need to speedrun to put on Tumblr or I think I might die

[trlvsn]

the edgeworth-fey history is so fucked up but so overlooked because despite the dl-6 case leaving maya fey motherless and edgeworth not only fatherless but with no justice served to the real killer for 15 years maya and edgeworth were like. sure i will watch steel samurai movies with this guy. no hard feelings whatsoever. it's never discussed between them and no one is ever blamed for anything because these two came out of a situation so cruel and unjust and somehow ended up so wisely kind. every time i notice that specific flavor of wise kindness in ace attorney characters (beanix, maya, edgeworth who would never admit it but it's true, trucy, etc) it breaks my heart a little and puts it back together with the hope this idea contains (maya fey this is mainly about maya fey have you seen how she is never angry with anyone except when she allows herself to be a kid around phoenix have you seen it have you noticed it) (i have. i have)

[okartichoke]

Happy flappy Phoenix is so cuuuuute

I love the idea of him getting around on a Scootaloo-style scooter, it's so dopey and lovable.

Plz expand upon the "Edgeworth (or Maya but I'm shipping trash) starts teaching him how to fly" point because that idea is adorable <3

Also do you see him getting his wings/mojo back after AA4? Poor Beanix...losing something he worked hard on (being more confident with his flying) along with his disbarment hurts so good...

i will happily expand upon that !! :D

Phoenix blames himself for Mia’s death. He keeps thinking “if I’d hadn’t been late, if I could’ve flown, I could’ve gotten there faster”. This is what initially puts into his head that he has to improve.

He’s a bit preoccupied in the first game, so his practicing begins in full during Justice for All. At first, he tries by himself, but soon sheepishly asks Maya for help (slash, Maya notices him trying and offers) (while I personally don’t ship Maya and Phoenix, feel free to read this however you want :] ) (first session ^ )

He improves slowly but surely! he still sticks pretty close to the ground atp. Maya teases him constantly for his flying but she is ✨supportive af ✨when it counts. we love her. She gives him tips and cheers him on.

Edgeworth is surprised to find Phoenix flying in 2-4.

By T&T, Phoenix is a competent flier !! a bit shaky still, but flying higher and more confidently than ever. everybody is very proud of him :3

then Dusky Bridge 💀💀💀 big injury: it’s gonna heal, but it’s gonna take work. his disbarment takes away his motivation to put in that work 😔😔

Miles’ and Phoenix’s bond grows during the 7 year gap, so this is where Edgeworth takes his turn helping Phoenix. He gets tired of watching Phoenix live in his own misery and helps to push him out of it

(not pictured: edgeworth also helps with his PT exercises)

In regards to your final question: i think he DOES get his mojo back ! He slowly regains strength back in his wings and muscles until he is able to fly again, AND! now he has a “i survived a fall from 40+ feet, how could anything hurt me ???” attitude,, which all but rids him of his fear of heights ! he gains so much confidence ٩( ᐛ )و

he’s also very dad now

(bonus scooter nick:)

thanks sm for the ask ! very happy to know these ideas are interesting someone else besides me bwaha !!

Okay so! @majesticanna and me worked on something together! I haven't been so inspired in a long while >//<

Also! Beanix time! Story snipped will follow in a reblog, so watch out!

[enanzaz]

dear fellow apollo justice fans/writers, i had an idea for once

idrc if this has been pointed out before i js feel a need to yap about it but basically its about apollos percieve

im only applying this in aa4 bc thats rlly the only time where this mechanic is used so heres your spw for aa4

the idea is apollo percieves TELLS albeit easily dwindled down to a lie detector which isnt entirely wrong given his profession but its important to distinguish the two.

the tells apollo mainly percieves in aa4 are because the witness/culprit is recalling a memory mentally but lying about it verbally. its not that apollo is perceiving people lying, but the motions they do when they are recalling a scene mentally (aka body language).

due to his profession as a lawyer its an obvious sign the person on the stand is lying because what they are recalling verbally doesnt line with what they recall mentally, hence gestures/body language

the easiest example is alita (4-3). shes claiming she never broke into the victims clinic, and as shes recalling this apollo is perceiving her scratching at her neck. its not its a tell tale sign she does whenever she lies but its her mentally recalling the motions she was doing

which works in apollos favor because using this movement and the evidence given is how he FINDS OUT shes lying, rather than know shes lying off the bat. yes, shes lying, but she does that motion because shes remembering the fact she was strangled, which is what apollo percieves.

feel free to reblog about why i could be wrong or wtv id love to hear it BUT that means i get yap more so cue intensive preaa4 yapping under the cut and pretty much the entire second trilogy

so spw for entire second trilogy ig under cut

so apollo didnt know about using this power to detect lies before trucy taught him right (again i think justifying this idea). he really only saw things with this weird bracelet and thats about it.

WHICH leads me to the idea that when (assumingly) apollo watched phoenix on television as a kid he always had a weird pain on his wrist whenever phoenix bluffed. cue during beanix era/pre aa5 he realizes phoenix does it all the time around him

so you have a skeptical mentee and the deflecting father figure (again) who wishes he had the evidence to figure out what hes hiding (even though the apple doesnt fall far from the tree)

anyways if youve read this far i applaud you and thank you

[nightowlssleep]

While I love Dual Destinies I'm not above wanting to rewrite certain elements so

Case rewrite: (I'm giving Athena more cases guys!!!!)

I'd set it up as the following:

Turnabout Countdown: Athena as the attorney, Phoenix as co-council

The Monstrous Turnabout: Apollo as the attorney, Athena as co-council (Trucy tags along to investigations)

Turnabout Reclaimed: Athena as the attorney, Phoenix as co-council (Pearl tags along to investigations)

Turnabout Academy: Athena as the attorney, Apollo as co-council (Phoenix and/or Klavier tags along to investigations)

The Cosmic Turnabout: Apollo as the attorney, Athena as co-council (After Apollo leaves, Athena as the attorney, Phoenix as co-council)

Turnabout for Tomorrow: Phoenix as the attorney (no co-council until the mood matrix segment) (Trucy, then Pearl tags along to investigations)

(In my rewrite Phoenix only gets his badge back right before Turnabout for Tomorrow, therefore while Athena doesn't get a lot more cases, she still gets Reclaimed and The Cosmic Turnabout)

• Firstly, Turnabout Countdown: I personally like that this game has a non linear first case, I think it works with setting up the mystery with Apollo and even Juniper

I think letting Athena take over the case is a very good start to seeing her character BUT THAT'S WHEN PHOENIX HAS TO COME IN AND TAKE ALL THE SPOTLIGHT

God I hate that, I get it, it's Phoenix's grand return but still, LET ATHENA DEFEND

Anyways in my rewrite, Athena has her panic attack, Phoenix comes in as co-council (Doesn't have his badge back yet therefore can't take over the case) and helps Athena through the case, nice mentor moment 👍🏻

• The Monstrous Turnabout: I like that this case happens from Apollo's perspective, I'd like it if it would feel a bit more like AA4 since (to me) it's very reminiscent to Turnabout Corner

Anyways I don't have too many gripes with this case, maybe more Trucy to tag along with investigating cuz I'd like to see her and Athena interacting

As for Athena I like that she has an "observing" case where she can see how a more experienced attorney handles a case

I also like that Phoenix is mostly missing from this case (my personal explanation is he's taking the bar during this but he only gets his badge back much later cuz the bar association is still a bit ehhh about letting him pass) (dw Edgeworth helps out with getting it back)

• Turnabout Reclaimed: Oh I love this case

Probably my favourite in the second trilogy (going to an aquarium right before I watched it probably helped with the enjoyment tbh)

Since Phoenix is still missing his badge Athena has to defend (she's also the one who's a big fan of Shipshape aquarium and begged Phoenix to help them so I don't even get why Phoenix gets this case)

I like the idea of such a silly case being Athena's first, I could also see Phoenix using this opportunity to pull Athena's leg a little, so the we can still feel the Beanix in him

Like he agrees that the agency will take the case and Athena assumes that he'll make Apollo represent the orca but instead he turns to her like "Athena you'll take the case, since you're such an eager fan" and that way Athena can experience getting messed with by her boss but also let it be a learning opportunity without it being an overtly traumatic first trial (I don't think he wants a repeat of Apollo's first trial lol)

Anyways student mentor moments, while Apollo and Trucy are practicing magic tricks in the office or something (could be foreshadowing to the fact that Trucy will get her own magic show in the next game)

• Turnabout Academy: No notes for this case's trial segment really, I just wish Klavier would act a bit more like himself, and Juniper acknowledging that her costume was inspired by Lamiroir (It could be a cool call back, like Juniper watched *that* specific performance and really liked Lamiroir's outfit and decided to recreate it or something and Apollo could point it out so we get more of the "I like Lamiroir's aura" thing he says) (Capcom tell him that she's his mother I beg)

I like that this time around Athena jumps to promise defending Juniper, that's good

Also maybe more AA4 call backs?? Maybe a Kristoph mention?? Please??

• The Cosmic Turnabout: Disclaimer: I don't remember much from this case so if anything is wrong, feel free to correct me

I like how mysterious the whole eye patch thing is even though we're in Apollo's perspective, it also makes sense that he'd take the case

To add to the tension I'd mention Phoenix being worried about still not getting his badge back and that's why he can't be there in the gallery (He's arguing his case with the Bar association with Edgeworth probably or something)

I like how hurried Blackquill is during this trial too, he's convincing himself and trying to project that Starbuck is the Phantom because he doesn't have more time and he wants to finish his mission of chasing ghosts seven years past even if it's not the truth, I think that that was done well

I'd like for Athena to notice this, point it out to Apollo, but since Apollo is already on edge about Athena I'd like to think he takes it as "Athena is more worried about a murderer than our case, than about my friend, than about me... Is this a sign?" And that (and the explosion) could be the last push for him to dip from the agency and go on his own investigation (maybe reaching out to Kristoph...? Hmm? Mr "Evidence is everything in court"?)

As for after the explosion, I'd like to think Apollo left the case to Phoenix (cuz he was convinced that Phoenix would get his badge back by that time) but since Nick is still missing his badge Athena decides that she'll take over and defend Starbuck

Anyways all goes the same Athena gets arrested, and with no attorney left in the agency... What now?

• Turnabout for Tomorrow: Phoenix leaves the courtroom alone

Trucy who witnessed the whole thing from the gallery, runs up to him, similarly worried about "what now?"

Phoenix gets a call. From who? We won't know for a bit but we can assume (It's Edgeworth)

Anyways, at last, there's another attorney in the agency who can help... Phoenix got his badge back

Now finally being a full fledged lawyer again, him and Trucy go investigating, we get father daughter moments, unravelling the mystery of the Cykes and Blackquills, everything goes mostly as it happens in canon, after Trucy gets kidnapped Pearl tags along and when Phoenix and her are investigating the space station, Edgeworth shows up with Phoenix's lawyer badge in hand

They're facing eachother in court again

PHOENIX WRIGHT, THE TURNABOUT TERROR, IS BACK IN COURT

Anyways epic return (instead of the random come back in the dlc case???) (Like it's funny that he's defending an orca but still)

Everything else happens like canon, except Athena gets to hug Blackquill after he's freed because they're siblings your honour and she's been working seven years for this to finally happen

Happy end and celebration at Eldoon's Noodles obviously

And that is my AA5 rewrite, thanks for coming to my TED talk

[someonetheelusivefangirl]

Wrightworth/Narumitsu Fic Rec!

Would you like to watch Phoenix as he finally concedes to retaking the bar exam?

Enjoy watching as Miles and the WAA both tease and support Phoenix through his Beanix detransformation??

Love when the two of them can just be open about how much they care???

Need a sweet getting together story and a side of Miles brushing over the fact he used to check out Phoenix's behind in court????

Then you need to read 'one step at a time' by OuterWilde!

Ace Attorney ships I find personally amusing

"I, an aro spec person, have little to no interest in ships" once said a foolish fool.

Dhurke and Manfred:

Genuinely they're such cool contrasts, Manfred is the embodiment of the status quo while Dhurke is the face of rebellion and is all about expression while Manfred is incredibly closed off and ridden with paranoia while Dhurke trusts in others so strongly and the fact they both take in someone else's kid to raise as their own out of their own senses of duty -

Dhurke should've gotten to radicalize that old man and also kiss him methinks.

Matt and Kristoph:

Do you know the quote " he's so stupid, I have to fuck him?" Yeah, that's the dynamic, even though Matt's quite cunning ( which Kristoph and most of the AA fandom don't want to admit). Both petty and paranoia ridden and identityless, thinking they're above everyone else yet being so self harming and sabotaging, completely consumed by the systems they worked in only to get tossed aside by them once their depravity becomes too visible. If you've seen my previous AA posts you know I love the idea of Klavier looking up to Matt and wanting to model themself after him. To Kristoph, however, Matt is the embodiment of the lifestyle that he fears will consume his brother. So even before the whole Farewell Turnabout reveal, there's resentment already there. Poor Klavier is naturally crushed when the truth comes out ( better get used that soon buddy) and admist the rage for Klavier's sake in Kristoph there's also the satisfaction of being right. I wouldn't be surprised if Kristoph visits Matt in prison just to gloat and try to fuel his paranoia but Matt, ever the actor, just bats his eyes and treats Kristoph like he's another fan. Naturally this gets under Kristoph's skin and makes him want to break Matt even more and the duo end up in this perpetual cat and mouse game that's more amusing to them than any other rivalries they've had, even with Juan and Phoenix.

Klavier, watching his brother stamp a pile of letters to Matt Engarde: I think you're more upset about what he did than I am Bruder.

Kristoph : Shut up Klavier, your boyfriend has a dildo on his head.

Kristoph naturally shares all this with Beanix in an attempt to bond with him over their shared hatred, but it has the opposite effect on someone who's dealt with someone also having " unnecessary feelings" almost his whole life. It is 100% what confirms his suspicions of Kristoph and you know once he defeats him he throws in the line "lmao have fun with your boyfriend in prison." ( Which makes poor Klavier even more distraught.) Matt swears the reason he's happy to see Kristoph in prison is purely out of the satisfaction in seeing an enemy of his fall. Anyway, their antagonism in person is even more extreme but with how they're forced to spend time together in prison, genuine time together, things get more complicated and it looks like Phoenix and Klavier were right all along. WELL FUCK-

Geiru and Dahlia:

Girlies who solve their problems with murder and frame those they're supposed to be close to ♡ Dahlia sees this girl getting crushed by the legacy of her family and won't allow history to repeat again.

They wouldn't have to put personas on for once and could just exist without expectation and judgement.

Also the contrast of graceful Dahlia with literal clown girl amuses me <3

Godot and Simon Blackquill:

Manipulative, mysterious hot prosecutors who are up their own asses? Yeah, they need to make out/j

In all seriousness both of them are so fucking tragic, trying so hard to protect the ones they care about and being willing to do fucked up shit to do so regardless of what happens to them. At the same time toxically assuming what's best for other people without their input ( especially regarding female characters) and harshly project their own feelings onto other people. They're sickly similar and I hope they realize this and heal together.

Bikini and Gant:

They're unhinged in opposite directions <3 So interesting that Bikini is similarly part of a corrupt system but hasn't been tainted by it like Gant was, probably because she hadn't gotten to see and experience the extent of it like Gant did. Both so easily could've become the other if their positions had shifted. Any so, Bikini would bring out Gant's more heartfelt traits and they'd definitely joke around together and be annoyances to everyone around them and just enjoy the little things in life. But primarily I'm interested in this duo because the idea of Gant leaving behind his work to join the temple life amuses me XD

Angel Starr and Dee Vazquez:

Fucked up, violent, revenge driven women who are willing to do anything in order to get what they want? Automatic click. Either they'll take over and rule the world together or they'll retire to a seaside town and grow old together. 50/50 chance with these veteran queers.

Larry and Sorin:

I’m a sucker for STEM and artist duos, romantic or otherwise. Their differing interests and personalities would bounce well off each other, making them a comedic yet chemistry filled paring that balances each other out. Also, flanderization aside, Larry is an understanding and caring guy and would support Sorin throughout his recovery and beyond.

Larry and Shelly De Killer:

The idea of cheerful guy who constantly gets accused of murder dating one of the most prolific killers ( also a cheerful guy) sends me, along with the concept of either of them taking the other’s last name. I think Shelly would be interested in Larry’s genuine love for life and continued nativity while Larry is absolutely smitten by how suave and cool Shelly is. 50/50 chance Larry knows who Shelly really is. Justifiably Maya and Phoenix flip out.

Sebastian and Hugh O Connor:

Parallels! Cocky people who believe they’re highly skilled only to realize their parents were pulling strings and while absolutely crushed, they strive to do better and are incredibly loyal to those they care about. They should go “ samesies!” and imprint on each other.

Simon Keyes and Nahyuta:

Love these two cause they’re so similar but complete opposites. They’re both self declared fighters of corrupt systems who are willing to sacrifice anything and everything ( including themselves) to complete their goals. Not to mention having an intense loyalty to their fathers and father figures. But while Nahyuta believed in fighting within the system despite knowing its corruption , Simon, refusing to sink to the level of those he hated, made sure to fight the system from the outside. I hope they bite each other <3.

Richard and Daryan:

Flamboyant queers with weird hair who are both based in their crimes and actually not appreciated enough. They should kiss and do more crimes.

Nahyuta and Matt:

The contrast. I want Nahyuta to look at Matt and see him as someone who was similarly raised into fitting a certain role and was unable to escape it and in turn swearing to save Matt’s soul. Matt is honestly confused but, amused and ever the opportunist, agrees to Nahyuta’s demands. Phoenix on the other hand is pushing Apollo to get his brother to stop, with Apollo explaining he literally can’t change his brother’s mind.

Luke & Ron & Desiree:

Okay, Ron and Desiree are a package deal. Anyway, I imagine Luke believes that having a rival means your relationship with them is naturally homoerotic ( I mean he’s not wrong) leaving poor Ron even more flustered and confused than usual . Desiree would just find it all funny to be honest and probably encourage the antics but if she wanted she could probably roast Luke out of committing anymore crimes and gain another partner in the process. Should’ve left the whole De Masque business to her to be honest.

Nahyuta and Kristoph:

“ You screwed over my brother.”

“ You screwed over your own brother.”

Both being forced to sacrifice so much for their sibling who doesn’t understand the extent of their sacrifices. Both committing horrible acts order survive, believing they alone know what’s best and are the only one who can carry such extreme actions out. But Nahyuta was the only one who got to grow beyond these viewpoints and tendencies while Kristoph only double down. Both of them hate each other but can understand each other and hate the fact that they can, they hate feeling anything for each other. Nahyuta wouldn't ever fall for Kristoph’s shit and Kristoph would hate being so powerless and exposed to him and even more so that Nahyuta doesn’t tear him apart from the inside. Nahyuta should become Kristoph’s architect and rebuild him in his image.

Uendo and Matt:

Matt learns Uendo genuinely enjoys giving performances and needs to know how. I think despite their drastically different experiences and ideals , they could form a genuine connection centered around having to suppress parts of themselves for the sake of their work. Since Matt work centered around entertaining kids and making them happy I think he could also get along with Owen well. I think Matt would have the best relationship with Patches out of all of them with Kisegawa and him having the most antagonistic relationship (but still caring). Honestly while one of the most simplistic parings it’s one of my favorites.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed as I spent too much time on this and I’d like to hear your own blursed ideas.

Dear Weirdnessproductions,

Chief Mod Edgeworth: All of us answer letters of our choosing, though I do write many of Widget's dialogues, so thank you.

Co-Mod: Widget's a treat on his own, I'd say. All we're doing is trying to keep him that way. 😊 Thanks, though!

Dear jnv11,

Chief Mod Edgeworth:

That letter about him being an actor wasn't answered by me but aside from that, I'd like to believe he went for both Shakespearean and physical art. I mean... why not?

Dear Charicla,

Chief Mod Edgeworth: I think I did have a letter originally meant for Beanix, only for it to be answered by Trilogy Phoenix. It was fun.

(Referenced Letter)

Dear Dawsongfg,

Chief Mod Edgeworth: I know Co-Mod is supposed to answer this one, but I thought I'd mention that this is a reference to a show or movie I can't remember. Co-Mod often writes letters that make show, movie or game references.

Co-Mod: It was a reference to the game Class of '09, actually.

I have a bad habit of referencing things I largely dislike but find inspiring, apparently. 😏

(These Four Referenced Letters)

Dear Anonymous,

Chief Mod Edgeworth: I have watched Turnabout Spotlight and Turnabout Teleportation. I've been meaning to watch Farewell, My Turnabout.

To answer your question, no we do not accept them as canon. However, I have made references to them and the mangas in previous letters.

Dear Anonymous,

Chief Mod Edgeworth: Thank you. Also, The Mod and Co-Mod should be given credit too, since they've been running this blog far longer than I have.

(Referenced Letter)

Dear Dawsongfg,

Chief Mod Edgeworth: It's good. Though, I won't be officially celebrating it where I'm at until Saturday due to... erm... scheduling with my family and shit.

Co-Mod: It went okay for me, I'd say. My church set up a big fireworks show in the parking lot, and I probably threw enough poppers on the ground to make Datz Are'bal jump out of his skin, so that was pretty cool.

And if you're talking about sending American Revolutionary War stuff to the TGAAC characters, that's fine, even if you're trolling. Well...fine for anyone but you, anyway. 😉

Kidding, of course.

SCREAMING AND CRYING FOREVER AND FOR ETERNITY BECAUSE FUCK DANGANRONPA 3. im SO angry about this forever because THIS ANIME!!!!! COULD'VE BEEN GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! DESPAIR ARC ESPECIALLY!!!!!!!!! like future is fun i really like it BUT DESPAIR ARC!!!!!!!!!???????

what i WANTED was an anime focusing on things we didn't know. mainly, the reserve course, the details of the kamukura project, and the tragedy. i wanted a story that expanded on lore and showed things they couldn't in-game. ultra despair girls gave us a taste of the tragedy, so i don't think it should've been the MAJOR focus, but i still think hearing about the remnants and what was going on during that time could've been cool.

what we GOT was a retelling of things we already knew, but told in a rushed, messy way that lost most of the interesting bits.

i just. i really want to love dr3. this isn't me saying i hate it because i genuinely REALLY want to like it but there's so many issues but heres some of the stuff i like.

i can rant for HOURS about the COLORS IN IT!!!!!! and how whenever hajime's on his own the colors are desaturated and grey and depressing, sucking the life out of the world. but when he's with chiaki they're warm and vibrant. and the longer he knows her the more and more red they become, until they're so red that it's hard to make out the actual colors, and then he agrees to the kamukura project. i love how when hajime gets into a fight with juzo the lighting is tinted green, and later, every scene with izuru has a green tint over it. i love how chiaki's scenes contrast with hajime's, how they're all normally lit, with bright colors and a happy feel, except for when he vanishes, when the colors switch to hajime's old, dark lighting. the LIGHTING in this show is GORGEOUS and i need someone else to appreciate it LIKE!!!????? i am in AWE!!!!! i wish future arc did it!!! especially since that arc is way better- nope it looks like ass.

a lot of the new characters are really fun! ryota's baby and iconic, juzo has genuine depth and i love that his personality isn't just that he's secretly gay, chisa's just a joy every time she's onscreen, munakata's a bitch, candy girl is a brat and i love her and her boyfriend is the best guy on the planet, koichi kizakura is the love of my life and he gives off beanix vibes, etc. they're all really fun.

i love izuru's characterization and how they expand on his personality and motivations. he's still the same guy he was in-game, someone who's analytical and is looking for something less boring, but he's just genuinely really interesting in the anime. his search for unpredictability is just so good and i love that scene where he watches chiaki die and is shocked at his own crying. the detail of him constantly carrying around her pin as a reminder of how he'd felt something, that's just. AUGH i love it.

sEE GUYS????? I CAN BE POSITIVE ABOUT THINGS I HATE

[ddanosaur]

for the aa ask game: 7, 15, 20 (😉), 36, 42, 43, 57, 67, 78, 98 ❤️

this is a lot so you dont have to answer all of them but i thought the questions were really fun hehe

hi hehe ty for all the questions dora!!

7. Favourite Design?

there's a lot of designs i like so idk if i have a fav, but i'm just gonna go ahead and say beanix. dude is comfy and chillin' and i respect that

15. Random headcanon you can share?

i have,,, so many,,, but one of my favs is that one of trucy's fav movies is The Parent Trap, but she's never seen it all the way through. she always falls asleep partway through, and has gotten as far as the return from the camping trip but has never seen past that somewhat related is that trucy and phoenix do in fact know annie and hallie's handshake/dance from the movie and can do it perfectly

20. Did you ever write fanfiction for Ace Attorney? If so, which one is your best piece

i have! i've written a few fics (and an essay) for ace attorney, and more wips trapped in my gdocs. i think my best piece is my nightmare fic from nrmt week earlier this year! it was my first AA fic and i'm still very proud of it

36. Prettiest eyes?

this is probably the expected answer from me but i'm gonna say phoenix. there's just so many different ways ppl portray his eyes (brown, blue, dark, light, variations of heterochromia) and i think that's neat!!

42. Unpopular opinion?

idk how unpopular this is but i think bratfeen is cute in theory but would be an absolute train wreck in practice. both of them are at very unstable points in their lives, with feenie being incredibly emotional and reactive (as we saw in 3-1) and bratworth being so under mvk's thumb. it would very much be "unstoppable force meets unmovable object" in a way that would just end in disaster and heartbreak

43. Favourite OST?

there are so many good ones but i'm going with my first response which is lang's theme, Speak up, Pup. it's so good i love it

57. Which character would you never want to meet in real life?

*timmy turner's dad's voice* Matt Engarde i love him as a villain but he's such a bitch that i would have to physically restrain myself from punching him and i don't think i'd be strong enough to

67. A character everyone else hates but you like even though you understand the hate that they get?

i don't think i have one? most of the characters i like are generally well liked from what i've seen. i think there are some characters that are generally well liked that i don't even tho i see their appeal

78. Who or what got you into AA?

a lot of my mutuals on twt and ppl i was in a server with were really into it, and i thought it looked like something i'd be interested in, so i downloaded the trilogy onto my phone and the rest is history

98. Which character do you trust the least to pick out a movie for a movie’s night?

kristoph. i feel like he'd have bad taste in movies and also be super pretentious about it in an annoying film bro way. i don't think i'd enjoy whatever movie he picked or the experience of watching it with him

i need to hear you talk about krisnix

What why? I'm totally normal about them ahahahahahhaha..haha.. 😞

Okay so I don't waste hours of my time (Future Mav: LIAR) and yours: I love them, your honour. It's not a relationship anyone should put up with in real life so there is a shock and appeal to their dynamic that none of the other main ships can offer. Krisnix ooze venom, animosity, and this indescribable tension that's fascinating to see blossom in these two powerhouse attorney's dynamic. The pair is just so damn diabolical, manipulative, and ideally comes with so much psychological horror that makes you question your own sanity and realise how quickly you would lose the game if you were swapped out with either of them. Underneath it all though, Krisnix is basically a pathetic pissing contest between two cunning individuals and that's stupid enjoyable for me to watch from the sidelines. I love how many different routes people can take with their actual romantic relationship too. Is it all an act? Rivals with benefits? Do they care about each other? Are they just keeping their enemies close and maybe at some point took the saying a little too literally?? Are there genuine feelings there after 7 years and one or both of them absolutely hate themselves for it??? So many possibilities and it's so riveting to think about. Like, 7 years is a LONG TIME to put up with someone purely out of spite. These idiots routinely ate dinner together in canon for crying out loud! Neither of them seem the type to happily put up with that with zero gain or case development for that long. (For my own reference: My longest relationship was almost 8 years and while it feels like no time at all looking back in the present, if I sit down and truly dissect it so much positive and negative change and development took place during that timeframe that it's actually quite jarring. I think that's one of the things that makes it hard for me to believe that nothing happened between them.) Kristoph is such an enigma and so full of sinister potential that his clash with an established bleeding heart like Phoenix is so compelling. I honestly have a hard time describing their appeal and always feel like there is more that I just.. can't quite put into words. So hopefully even an ounce of this makes a lick of sense outside of my head.

On the flip side, I will say I'm not the biggest fan of every portrayal of the ship. I feel like some people lean too heavy on physical domestic abuse (not talking BDSM. I don't want it misconstrued that I see these as one and the same since I believe there is also a large chunk of BDSM!krisnix out there) and completely neglect the brilliant minds at play. Or focus too much on making Phoenix an absolute pushover like he's too dumb to catch on to even the bare minimum attempts of Kristoph manipulating him. To be honest, some of these feels like throwing Dahlia-era Phoenix at Kristoph and it's like.. hmmm.... noooo. He's not that same person if you're writing for Beanix. I think that would probably be my personal gripes with the pairing if I had to be critical of it. There is a fine balance to their dynamic that's hard to capture, in my opinion. Like I don't even feel I could properly do them justice outside of memeing it up. Which is partially why I haven't done any real art for the pair despite them being one of my personal favourite and being all too aware that they have little to no content. They are like the definition of "It's Complicated" and I love canonically knowing how the story starts and ends. But that 7-year gap is just a juicy wealth of knowledge soup that I and others can throw whatever the fuck we want into it and boy does almost every spoonful taste delicious.

...Well that was more than I expected to write. ENJOY. Feel free to let me know your krisnix thoughts as well!

what are your favorite headcanons for 7 year gap phoenix? (i am such a sucker for beanix hehe as you can probably already tell <3)

i may have guessed from the profile pic alone if nothing else ;)

so! beanix thoughts incoming (warning for being disorganized and messy ahah):

- i think that he and Miles had already been in a relationship for a few months when Phoenix got disbarred. Miles tried incredibly hard to support him and be there for him, but instead of relying on him Phoenix just got more and more withdrawn. eventually they broke up, although it was more of a mutual separation where they both knew they'd end up back together eventually

- Miles was torn because on one hand he felt like Phoenix was pushing him away because he was depressed, and he didn’t want to let that happen, not when Phoenix had been there for him at his darkest times. But at the same time he wanted to respect Phoenix’s wishes and understood that Phoenix needed some time to figure out who he was, a) without his badge, and b) without Miles, having built his identity around those things for so long.

- So they separate for a while and Miles does his best to give Phoenix space although he does check in on him and Trucy periodically to make sure they’re okay. and when they do get back together Phoenix is in a better place and they're both just all around more ready for a serious relationship

- Trucy is the #1 thing that keeps Phoenix going, especially at first- not just because he has an obligation to care for her, but just her herself. she drags him out on walks and invites people over and reminds him to take his meds every day and helps him cook dinner and does so many things that made life more bearable for him

- and for a while he feels guilty about letting his little daughter take care of him, but eventually he realizes that this is her way of showing her gratitude for how he'd taken care of her and trying to do the same for him the best way she knows how. they take care of each other <3

- i am so absolutely torn between “the ‘grape juice’ was actually alcohol and he struggled a bit with alcoholism during the 7yg” and “no it was actually just grape juice the man really does love grape juice”. i cannot decide which one i like better because i think both are great takes for different reasons

-he hangs out with Maya on the weekends and they mostly sit around in their sweatpants complaining and gossiping and eating junk food. a couple times she dragged him out to a bar to do karaoke. she also jumps at every opportunity she gets to babysit Trucy

-i don't think he was ever in the best of physical shape but he definitely gains a significant amount of weight during the 7yg. it's not really a big deal to him but he does get a little self-conscious abt it when he thinks about how the people who knew him before must think he really let himself go. maya, who has always been on the chubbier side, points out to him that chubbier people are softer to hug. trucy concurs. as silly as it sounds, it makes him feel a lot better

-he and Trucy have a bunch of silly little family routines/inside jokes/things that only the two of them know about. they play a game every night and they do best 2 out of 3 rock paper scissors to determine who gets to pick. when they go for a walk the first person to spot a wild animal gets to choose what they have for dessert that night. every year for Christmas Trucy buys him the weirdest pair of socks she can find, and he buys her the most outlandish hat he can find and they both have to wear them the next day. every time they leave the house they race to see who can get their shoes on and be ready first. they play the floor is lava. once a month they stay up all night watching horror movies and eating ice cream directly out of the tub.

-at first the piano thing is very much just a cover for Phoenix's real job at the club but he figures he should learn just enough to be believable, and in the process he discovers it's actually pretty fun and kind of meditative, and starts trying to learn for real. Trucy joins in and is immediately way better than he is. (he's a little put out by this but she cheekily promises to give him pointers)
