uhh uh suki and im thinking of getting into ace attorney so maya!

ty for sending this ask and u absolutely should get into ace attorney i am DYING for someone to talk about it with omg. uhh idk how u plan on playing it but i played the original trilogy with a ds emulator on my phone (the emluator was like 7 bucks but the games would have been more so like) and then downloaded some roms which was nice and cheap!! idk i think you’d like them

suki!

favorite thing about them: hmm everything she’s incredible. specifically the whole “immediately consensually beats up sokka” i love that for them both least favorite thing about them: that she doesn’t have better character development.. she’s part of the gaang but like what did they do with her in the show? distressingly little.  favorite line: ooh i don’t remember quotes for shit but like “i’m a warrior but i’m a girl too?” pretty good line there.. she is trans brOTP: suki and sokka!! hell yeah. also suki & zuko OTP: yueki... moon girlfriends.... also i do like sukka nOTP: hm i don’t rly like suki x zuko just bc i think zuko’s gay and also it just gives me weird vibes. idk random headcanon: shares earrings with sokka and in a modern au works at the ymca as a lifeguard! unpopular opinion: uh i kinda understand why people forget about her in drawings of the gaang? like i hate it but she’s given so much less screen time and character development than everyone else it’s easy to forget that she’s part of the gaang and not just a side character.  song i associate with them: 17 by the butchies (yueki), lacy loo by the regrettes, and hey soul sister by train (sukka)! favorite picture of them: love this picture from the ember island players she looks so cute

maya

favorite thing about them: i just!! she!!! obviously like all the ace attorney characters my favorite thing is her development from a 17 year old who doesn’t believe she’s good enough to being master of kurain and also the cool lesbian auntie.. that’s good!! that’s the shit!! least favorite thing about them: hmm frankly the amount of times she is accused of murder is a little absurd. like i still love her for it but like sheesh  favorite line: “um, maybe I shouldn't be saying this... but he definitely did it. murder. at least once. maybe twice.” also every single time she makes fun of like (ugh i don’t remember his age off the top of my heard but like) 25 year old phoenix for being old? good brOTP: she and phoenix!! they’re bros and i LOVE THEM SO MUCH omg also mia and maya.. i care them OTP: franmaya!! bc a) they deserve it... good and b) for the double dates with phoenix and miles that would never happen but which maya would try very hard to make happen nOTP: maya/phoenix.. they are basically siblings and also when they meet maya is 17...... no. i’m sorry. don’t like it random headcanon: oh u know that good place line that’s like “and that’s how i got my nickname, the defendant” (here!) that’s maya unpopular opinion: hmm where was she during the 7 year gap?? we vaugely know that miles had phoenix over to germany to be sad but like?? all maya did was send him some steel samurai stuff?? like uh ok i get he needed to be alone for plot stuff but cmon they’re best friends song i associate with them: hm little sister song by kid sistr is a good one favorite picture of them: i love her thinking sprite!! she’s so cute!!! ahhH!!

Why is gyan amakano so cute. It should be illegal. I hate how he has such a huggable design and then his character is totally wasted on being half super evil jerkman half Every Fat Stereotype Simultaneously. Like seriously how did this even HAPPEN

Artist: ok so ive drawn this round softman in a cute lil fancy tuxedo who always carries lollipops in his back pocket

Writers: ah yes, the perfect Irredeemable Murder Cannibal Man

Or like..

Writers: we need an Irredeemable Murder Cannibal Man

Artist: dont worry bro i got ya *draws a big circle with a happy face*

Or of course theres the alternative universe where nobody involved in this project ever noticed that this character design looks fuckin precious, but i dont want to live in that world

And then he's only in!! Two episodes!! And theyre so weird and not great!! Its like they kept changing their mind whether he was meant to be funny or scary. Goes from "ha ha a fat man enjoys cookies" to "he literally wants to make cannibal cookies out of humans" to "but ha ha look he's cosplaying as the genie from aladdin, lets go back to laughs now".

And also they made him be a huge jerk to Are Bacchino and that pisses me off!! Its already a bit shitty that they made a character whose entire "joke" is that he has ocd/germaphobia and its meant to be funny? Somehow? That he has this mental illness? And is frequently exposed to stuff that terrifies him?? Funny how???? But then theres a really rather disturbing montage of Gyan punishing his sidekick by straight up triggering his phobia and YIKES MAN sorry thats even more evil than the cannibalism! Also why was it drawn all overly detailed and Saw-esque?? Why did we need so much art effort put into showing dirty feet and a guy being forced to stick his hand in a shit filled toilet. Was this someone's goddamn fetish or something???

So yeah. Upset.

U P S E T T I. R E G R E T T I.

I'm so mad they wasted a cool character deisgn and cool concept on such a shitty execution. Like even the plot could have been cool? They could have got a lot more episodes out of the idea of these two runnibg thru fairytale books and cosplaying as different classic villains. And if theyd just made a damn decision and gone with either funny cute or scary bad then it could have worked! Personally i am voting for funnycute obv course. But also thatd work best with this plot, it would have been better if it was just a low stakes goofy adventure with something like "oh this dude wants to find the legendary magic wish thingie to wish for a lifetime supply of chocolate and our heroes wanna wish for something actually important so thats why they fight". Could have even added some drama cos like he doesnt know the thing is actually dangerous and then what if he ends up possessed by it and you still get a fight with him thats pretty high stakes without having this weird inconsistant personality thing. Could be quite a dramatic twist to suddenly have comedy villain man as a genuine threat! Ans could be a way to resolve it all with friendship cos you could have Are Bacchino teaming up with the heroes to save his boss and then Gyan is like "whoa i guess you guys were 100% right all along" when he gets saved from his own bigass mistake and all. And then THE GAMES COULD ACTUALLY MAKE HIM PLAYABLE PERHAPS, JUST SAYIN

Also PLEASE rewrite like every single thing about the relationship between the two of them. Please take whoever said "yeah gyan should outright torture his one and only friend with a messed up Saw movie ocd-triggering machine" and throw them out the window. Consider this: what if..they were actually...friend. Like i feel they'd have enough comedy potential already just from being a "rival mafia" thats literally two people who are ludocrously incompetant at everything they do and only ever succeed at (literally) stealing candy from babies. Play up that side of things more! No need to throw random super evil shit at the funnymen to make them seem more intimidating, theyre at their best when theyre not intimidating at all. And you could still have the same gag of the fairytale world forms always being Gyan as some sort of classic villain and Are as a talking carpet or whatever, like just say thats how the magic works instead of Gyan doing it on purpose to be a jerk. And you could even still have Are being the funny underdog just from sheer bad luck instead of being purpisely mistreated by every single character in the entire cast. Or have it that Gyan is just a bit of a bumbling idiot boss who doesnt notice his mistakes and Are is like the hypercompetant sidekick who always ends up taking the consequences of those mistakes because he's like an overportective bodyguard. Which could also be a way to establish some cute friendship moments! Like i dunno someone's about to throw a pie at Gyan and Are does an overdramatic diving save and a whole fake death scene from the sheer horror of getting banana cream frosting on his suit. "Boss...go on without me..." *cough choke* And Gyan is like *equally overdramatic tears* "He made the ultimate sacrifice! I will avenge him!!" *charges forward to fight the heroes and just gets easily beat up like usual* And then its like *even more continually dramatic narration* "and the boss was beaten and bruised, but he carried me for miles through wind and storm" *over footage of like ridiculously impossible heroic adventures thay clearly didnt happen* And then it just cuts to the two of them sitting at like...ye olde fantasy laundromat. Are sobbing like "oh boss i'll never forget this" and Gyan is just like *thought bubble* "i wish i got to eat that pie tho"

I dunno maybe im naive but i just think shows are generally more fun when characters actually like each other and have motivations beyond self interest. Obvipusly not EVERY character has to be like that, but nobody is ever kind at all in the damn anime whether theyre villain or hero. And also specifically these sorts of minor role villains can benefit a lot from being fleshed out this way to become way more memorable! Like gin and kin became way better in Psychic Specters when they got the added trait of loving and cherishing their little brother. (To the point of it being a literal battle power that made their horribly hard boss fight even worse, lol!)

Also just...plz dont make a man so cute if hes meant to be big badness. Like seriously Are looks scarier than him and Are is like the least scary man to ever have those scary ass eyes! Smol depressed man with ocd and tol round lollipops friendo. I WANT TO LOVE THEM

Im gonna just cross my arms and sit here stubbornly hoping for The Anime/Game Effect to kick in. Like 99% of all characters in the anime are jerks and even when anime originals end up cameoing in the games they tend to become generally nicer and more well developed as people. So fingers crossed for a yw4 appearance thats full cute and 0% cannibalism!!!

Seriously fuckin.. CANNIBALISM

Why does the anime do that so much as a "funny" "joke"? The episode where Jerry murders a sentient dessert yokai in graphic gory detail still haunts me. "Ha ha its funny because technically theres no blood so we can show her gasping for breath with a hole in her lungs as a man eats her corpse" Did they put the entire budget into that one death animation??? Oh no cos they saved at least a little of it for the Herbiboy Gets Murdered By A Lawnmower episode T_T

Anime why u be this way.
