(I'm too lazy to keep linking every single post at the top so I'm just gonna link part 1 & the previous part from now on, will add next buttons as new posts are published. Not 100% sure how many more posts are coming but I'm really enjoying writing this!)

[ Part 1 / Part 7 ]

*Content note for discussion of pregnancy loss & infertility*

PART 8

Bev *hates* Wyoming.

She's rushing through the airport to her gate, dialing a number as she goes. It hits the voicemail box. "Peter, it's Beverly. Arm the alarms and don't let anyone in. Call security if you have to, and have your PR people at the ready. I'll explain later," she hangs up, swearing under her breath. Of course Joanne would get on the damn plane using Bev's connections. She must have used one of her personal credit cards in an attempt to keep Bev off of her trail. But Bev's connections mean a heads up when someone who is definitely not her uses the name "Siobhan O'Donnell" to bypass airport security.

(Cheyenne, 7.5 years ago...)

"Ahh, there's my beautiful woman!" Peter exclaims, embracing Bev as she steps out of the car. He gives her a quick peck on the cheek and takes her hand.

"Hey, stranger," she winks. "How's city counsel?"

"Oh, the same as ever. Taxes this, potholes that, and did you hear who's sleeping with their secretary this time?" He lets out a sarcastic laugh. "How goes it for," his tone changes to a cinematic, smooth tone, "Beverly Jones, attorney at law?"

"Well, it has been insanely busy. We just opened up the new Reno office."

"Wow! That's 3 states now, right?"

"Yes! And I've got some great attorneys in mind to help staff it." She smiles. "Once it's all set up, I can stay here in Cheyenne with you, full-time."

Peter turns to face her, putting his hands on her waist. He's tall, solidly built, a tinge of premature gray streaked through the front of his brown hair. "I can't wait," he says, kissing her slowly.

Bev and Peter met in college back at UCLA, but in the end, Peter returned to his home state - Wyoming. He loved the city he grew up in, and couldn't wait to raise a family here.

"I hope our first child is a boy," he says, a glimmer in his eye.

"Well, the most important thing for me is that, when it happens, we have a happy, healthy child, whether they're a boy, a girl, both, neither." Bev smiles. "But... I did always imagine myself having a daughter."

(Athens...)

Hera and Kimberly are packing up. "Where do you think they went?"

"I have no fucking clue," Hera says. "She literally *never* talks about him. I don't even know the guy's name!" Hera stops as a realization dawns on her. "I know who might be able to help, though."

(Cheyenne, 7.25 years ago...)

"Peterrrr, how's it hanging?" Peter walks in to the office, surprised to see the governor standing by the door. "Mind if we chat for a minute?"

"Sure, uh, what about?" He closes the office door behind them.

"I hear you've been considering stepping back from the counsel a little bit. What's going on, man?"

"Well, my wife and I are trying to conceive," he says, a proud smile growing on his face. "I'm going to be a dad, Bill."

"Hey, that's incredible!" The governor smiles. "I'm just worried that in all the excitement, you're forgetting about me."

Peter feels the back of his neck grow hot. "No, sir, I'll never forget what you've done for me."

The governor sits back in his seat. "Good. That's what I thought. And it's a good thing, too, because I'm here to collect."

A cold chill rushes up Peter's spine. "...what do you want?"

"I heard through the grapevine that a senate seat is opening in your district. You're going to run, and you're going to win. And as long as I am satisfied with your voting record, nobody needs to know how a poor boy from rural Wyoming went to college out-of-state with no loans and somehow grew fabulously wealthy in such a short period of time, on a public servant's salary, no less." The governor puts a button pin on Peter's desk that reads, "Peter Jones for Senate." He smirks. "Call me if you need any advice, Peter." He exits the office.

Peter puts his head in his hands and weeps.

(Amsterdam, present day...)

Kimberly dodges through the bustling crowd on the streets, trying to keep up with Hera. The pair duck into a dark alley, making sure nobody sees as they turn the corner and approach an empty coffee house. The outside of the building is covered in grime, and the sign that should read "Geöffnett" is missing both E's. Hera and Kimberly duck inside. Hera approaches the dimly lit counter and enters her order on the kiosk - a blueberry-cinnamon-toasted almond espresso shot made with extra water, a squeeze of lemon, and salted caramel foam. Kimberly gags. Hera smirks in her direction.

A light appears behind the counter, and suddenly, a hidden door opens to reveal a long, dark tunnel. Kimberly and Hera follow it downwards. They soon reach a thick, steel door. Hera knocks 6 times. The door slowly opens.

"Heeeeeeey!" A woman with choppy dark hair and an undercut rushes out to embrace Hera. "It's been a while!" She turns to Kimberly. "Is this who I know it is?"

Hera laughs. "Yes, this is my girlfriend, Kimberly. Kimberly, meet Athena, the Goddess of knowledge."

(Phoenix, 7 years ago...)

Peter is on edge, incredibly frustrated. He made his own bed when he got involved with the governor in the first place, now he has to lie in it. Figuratively, and literally. He told Bev he wanted to take her on a vacation for their anniversary, traveling from Phoenix to Los Angeles.

In reality, he's using the trip to tell Bev about his run for senate, and has several business-related stops to make on the trip.

In the hotel room, Bev is ecstatic. She's planned this day for a long time. She wears the dress she wore the night Peter proposed - a sleeveless black satin slip, long white gloves, pearls. She feels like a red-haired Audrey Hepburn. Bev looks in the mirror and rubs a hand over her belly. Nobody else knows yet. She smiles. This is what she wants, more than anything else in the world.

"Bev, are you ready?" Joanne calls from the next room. Joanne is visiting family, and agreed to give Bev a ride to the restaurant so she could surprise Peter when she got there.

(Amsterdam...)

The room at the base of the tunnel is filled to nearly bursting with computer servers. Multiple large monitors read out security reports, maintenance reports, efficiency reports.... Kimberly feels like she stepped into a spaceship, its quirky captain clacking away at the keys on a massive supercomputer. "This is incredible."

Athena scoffs. "It's all older model processors. Still impenetrable, but slower than I'd like. Makes getting kicked out by a hypervigilant security program slightly more possible." She's seated in a massive chair. She wears a black hoodie, a cat eared headband, fingerless mesh gloves, and short black pleated skirt over stripped stockings. She's adorable, Kimberly thinks.

"The reason why Zeus is so moronic is because when Athena popped out of his forehead, she took all his brains with her," Hera giggles, giving a playful tap on Athena's nose. Athena sticks out her tongue at Hera, then returns to typing. "She's been in the mortal world for longer than I have, and she can find out just about *anything.* Hell, most of the time, she already knows."

"I mean, I think I'd be failing as the Goddess of knowledge if I didn't literally have the knowledge," she says. "Now, I know you're trying to track down the estranged husband of that depressed bisexual lawyer."

"...damn, you're good," Kimberly laughs.

"His name is Peter Jones. Not hard to find info on him because he's a US senator. Born & raised in Wyoming, studied poli-sci at UCLA, leans conservative, popular in the polls. Oh, and he's shady as fuck."

"I already hate him," Kimberly rolls her eyes. "Do we really have to go save him?"

"...I mean, my plan was literally to just be there to support Bev. *Do* we have to save him?"

"Umm, you might want to consider it, since if he goes down, the people he's in bed with will probably come for Bev!" Athena chimes in. "He's at his house in Horse Creek. I've already hacked the airlines to get you a flight out to Cheyenne, you'll have to book it by car after that." Athena turns to Hera, growing serious. "You should be ok as long as you take the flights I booked for you, but Zeus is very close to escaping Hades, and he is PISSED. Be on guard." She cracks open an energy drink and continues to clack away at the keys. "That guy is a dick, Hera, and I'm so glad you finally figured it out."

"That Zeus sucks?"

"No, that you're gay. I called it, like, 8 centuries ago."

(Phoenix, 7 years ago...)

Bev approaches Quiessence, stunned by the beautiful gardens. She walks through the yard towards the private table near a massive brick oven. Peter is seated there, wearing a crisp white button-up shirt with a navy tie and slacks. She feels her cheeks flush as she approaches the table. After 5 years, she still feels butterflies when she sees him.

Peter is on edge, and Bev recognizes it immediately. She gives him a quick peck on the cheek, and sits at the table. "Is everything okay?"

"We need to talk." He takes a deep breath. "I... I did some really horrible things, Beverly." He pauses, runs a hand over his head. Bev looks at him, searching for some hint of what's coming. "Not just illegal. Immoral. People died because of me, families, little kids! And I got paid. It's a lot of money, Bev. It was a long time ago... I've been keeping it hidden, but someone very powerful found out about it, and I have to do what he says or he is going to expose me."

"...what did you do?" Bev feels sick to her stomach.

"It's better if you don't know. You're already in danger because of me. Just know that if anyone found out, we'd both be completely ruined." Peter takes a nervous sip of water. "Beverly, I'm so sorry. I wish I could go back and talk myself out of it." Beverly remembers all the sleepless nights, the times Peter has gotten drunk and cried uncontrollably for hours. It all seems to make more sense, and yet, she's never been more confused in her life. Her stomach is in knots.

Bev reaches a hand across the table. "Peter..."

He cuts her off, head down. "There's something else. The person who knows about my past, he's holding it over my head. He wants someone he can use in the government." He looks up at Bev, eyes watering. "I'm announcing my senate run later tonight. He's meeting me later on. I need you to find a reason to not be there."

"I..." Bev is at a loss. She doesn't understand. Just 30 minutes ago, she was imagining their future, their child. Now, she's struggling against the fact that the man across the table may as well be a complete stranger. Her head is spinning.

She looks at him, looking deep into his eyes. She peels back his layers, one by one, until she sees it; a glimpse, a hint of the man she has loved since meeting him all those years ago. They're still the American dream. They're a family. No matter what, she trusts him. She picks up the empty wine glass set on the table and smashes it, cutting a deep gash into her palm in the process. Sharp pain shoots through her shoulder down to her fingertips. "I love you," she says to Peter. He rushes to her side, a concerned look on his face. She waves him off. "I'll be fine. Now I have an excuse to not be there tonight. You go. I've got this handled. I'll catch up with you later. I want to talk to you about something, too." A waiter notices Bev bleeding and rushes over to help, shouting for someone to call an ambulance.

Bev looks at Peter and waves him off again. He looks at his wife, the woman he would give anything for. Every piece of him wants to stay with her. He walks away, tears running down his face.

(Washington Dulles International Airport...)

"Alright Jo, you've made your point. I will tell you *everything,* but I need you to pick up the phone and do not go to Peter. You think you know everything about me, about my marriage? You have no fucking clue. Listen... I'm sorry I shut you out. Give me a chance, Jo. I'm about to board my flight, please, I'm begging you, wait for me in Cheyenne, at the office. I will explain it all to you. No more lying, no more hiding."

(Somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean...)

"What do you think is going to happen when Zeus gets back?"

"He's going to come for us."

"What are we going to do?"

"Stay the course. I still want to move on the divorce. We're so close to making it happen."

"....and what if he doesn't accept it?"

"...."

(St. Luke's Hospital, 7 years ago...)

"Your heart rate is through the roof." The nurse has a worried look on her face. "How did you hurt your hand?"

"I broke a glass... miss, my stomach hurts, really badly." Bev feels sick. "I'm 9 weeks pregnant."

"Have you seen a doctor about the pregnancy yet?"

"No, my first appointment is on Tuesday..." Bev can barely focus. Something is wrong. "You need to check on my baby."

The monitor beeps as the blood pressure cuff finishes its cycle. The nurse keeps a steely expression, but Bev catches a moment of panic in her eyes. "Ma'am, we're going to get a doctor in here, right away. We will check on your baby, but I'm going to try to help you too, okay? My name's Gina, I'm going to take good care of you." The nurse takes Bev's arm and begins prepping to place an IV port. "Is this your first?"

"Yes, my husband and I...." suddenly, everything starts to get really dark. Bev can hear voices calling her name, calling the doctor, an alarm, something called a "code blue." Then, there's nothing.

(Cheyenne...)

Joanne turns her cellphone back on. 26 missed calls. She listens to the voicemails, then takes the SIM card out of the phone. She stumbles up the steps to the Cheyenne office, exhausted. But, she still has a mission.

She goes into Bev's office. She inhales deeply. It smells like Bev. There's years of history inside these walls. They've worked on so many cases in this office together. This is going to hurt Joanne just as much as it will hurt Bev.

Joanne pulls the fire alarm as she casually exits the building, a blazing fire raging in the space that once held Bev's second busiest law office.

Shortly after, Bev stands outside and watches, speechless, as the fire department struggles to contain the fire. The building's janitor lies under a tarp on the street, waiting to be carted away to the morgue. The fire is threatening several nearby structures. Bev is always a step ahead, in every situation.

Now? No. She was not prepared for this. She did not even imagine a world where this might have been remotely possible.

(St. Luke's...)

A monitor beeps in a steady rhythm. The IV matches it with its drip, drip, drip. Bev feels a tight squeeze on her arm as the blood pressure cuff inflates. She opens her eyes. Everything hurts. Something is seriously wrong. She tries to sit up, but she can't. She cries out in pain. In the corner of the room, her clothes are in a plastic bag. Her gown is ripped in a jagged manner, like it was cut off of her in a hurry with scissors.

Someone in the hall hears her, and gets the attention of her nurse, who rushes in. Bev is sobbing, it all hurts so bad. "Beverly, it's me, Gina. I'm going to get you something for the pain, okay sweetie? The doctor is going to come talk to you soon."

Bev uses all the strength she has left to look up at Gina. "Is my baby okay?" The nurse's lips form a tight line. Her eyes fill with pity. Bev screams. The world turns black again.

(Cheyenne...)

Bev has been sitting on the ground for what feels like years. The remains of the building that housed the Cheyenne office are still letting off smoke in some places. The firefighters continue to investigate the scene, ensuring the fire is out. They suspect arson. Three people are dead, eight are seriously burned, four have carbon monoxide poisoning. The fire spread to the buildings on either side, one of which was an apartment building. Bev watches families, some with small children, call relatives, tears streaming down their faces.

Kimberly throws a blanket over Bev's shoulders and sits down beside her. Hera is talking to the firefighters.

"Seven years ago, I had an ectopic pregnancy. I was under severe stress at that time in my life, and the tube ruptured. The surgeon couldn't stop the bleeding, and they had to perform an emergency hysterectomy to save my life." Bev is numb. Her voice sounds dead and flat. "Nobody even knew I was pregnant, not Peter, not...." her voice trails off. Kimberly wraps an arm around her and hugs her tight. "I had to quit doing adoption cases. I couldn't handle watching families being built when mine was destroyed. I lost my baby. I lost the chance to try again. God, I don't even think I would've tried again if I could've." Bev is silent for a moment. "And I couldn't face Peter. I called him when I was at the hospital and told him it was his fault. And even though I've been hiding from him all these years... I always loved him. And he never stopped loving me, either. Maybe our relationship looks strange from the outside, but it's real."

Hera comes back. "I told them about Joanne. They're going to start looking for her."

"Good," Bev says. She looks up at Hera. "Once we finish your case, you can have her job if you want it." She laughs, wild and unhinged. Kimberly and Hera exchange a look of concern. Kimberly motions towards the empty liquor bottle by Bev's feet.

"Bev, honey, let's go get some rest. We can talk more in the morning." Hera and Kimberly each put an arm around Bev to help her stand. The trio hobbles off towards Bev's Cheyenne apartment. There are still so many things that need to be done.

For now, Bev needs rest, and Hera and Kimberly will do what they can for her.

You are a divorce lawyer, the best in your field. You have just received word that you will representing the Greek goddess Hera in her divorce from Zeus.

In honor of my brodie @justambrosia releasing KAthena to the world

[aa-weirdgirl-showdown]

woagh…

[saucetail-hasanewblog]

I think I need to cut annika's hair

[liketheinferno2]

These aren't full ref sheets but I was trying to take some clear pictures of Hephaistos for later art reasons and then got side tracked doing all of the Pandaemonium bosses so here they are in order. Also for anyone following who doesn't play FFXIV and knows it as the catgirl game, enjoy this instead? VISUAL SPOILERS obviously.

Asphodelos

Warder of the Condemned: Erichthonios

Mythic Creation: The Hippokampos

Mythic Creation: The Phoinix

(+ familiars)

Hemitheos: Hesperos

(+ sexy fanfic redesign by Nemjiji)

To be brutally honest I never really liked either of these designs compared to every other Hemitheos we get, I think the really brutal black and red of the Phoinix is weakened by gold accents, but I still am always down for gay vampire surf rock. The Savage version kind of looks like Ultimalius as well if you've played XVI.

Abyssos

Mythic Creation: Proto-Carbuncle

Hrgrhhgrhrgrh

Hemitheos: Hegemone

^ My favourite detail on this is you can see the parasite's outlines in her robes and in her legs, then right through the eye holes on the mask to wrap around the torso. I'm convinced this version of Hegemone is functionally an ant being piloted by a cordyceps infection.

Hemitheos: Agdistis

She's very big

Perfect Imperfection: Hephaistos

I'm probably biased by Abyssos being the first raid I was there for day of release but these really are all fantastic. It's also when the story abandons all pretense of not being (at least partly) about family abuse and is loudly using the body horror and shackle motifs to talk about that. It's great. Hephaistos specifically is constantly bulging and twisting in and out of different forms like a highly unstable chimera and the more I look at these the more I notice parts that just should not be there. He's giving everything.

As for the Savage design It's a hard thing to rate as such but my favourite part is the veins that grow down from the eyeholes in his mask like bloody tears.

Thanks Abyssos I love you

Anabaseios

Mythic Creation: Kokytos

Dæmoniac Dungeon: Pandæmonium

It's really hard to communicate how huge this nasty tumor crab I zoomed out as far as physically possible in the game engine and subsequently ended up at a goofy angle staring up his nose.

Ephemeral Justice: Themis

Best boy. The double ended lance and second pair of arms are fantastic for this character.

Theos: Athena

In.. almost every final fantasy adventure you're fighting the real villain not at the very end but a little beforehand, the big iconic end boss is often more a metaphorical figure representing everything wrong with that first person's ideals. Athena cut out the middle man and became her own JENOVA.

I do like the moth angel, especially the hollow body full of dubious orbs, but with her eyes closed all the time it gives off the impression of this not even being the true body but some kind of anglerfish lure in the shape of a fairy... which might be true because this exists:

I really really love her twitchy anemone feelers and how the moth body ends up grafted to the rest of it waist down.

Anyway there's the gang I did not specifically intend for this to be design reviews I just wanted to have clear photos because when you actually see them in game there's other things to focus on. In hindsight I can appreciate more the theming of each tier and then the series as a whole, but my only (extremely obvious) observation for now is that every character Athena had a personal hold over is decorated in chains somehow and so I should have seen the Hegemone thing coming lmao. Heph and Aggy are still my favourites I don't think that's changing any time soon. I'm also noticing that Anabaseios is now just old enough for random DF parties to fuck up severely and I find that fun so I'm going to go fight the crab mansion now.

[badaceattorney]

-Extremely long pinned post! Everyone’s favorite!-

Welcome to Bad Ace Attorney. I post ideas related to Ace Attorney every day at noon, and I also post other ace attorney related stuff here. My main account is @hotsinglesmusic, and I also post warframe stuff now as @cephalonsugma.

You can (and should) submit your own ideas or just send me whatever you want by using my submission box or by sending me an ask.

Read below for guidelines on idea submissions, my FAQ, a list of tags I use in case you want to search/block them, and literally everything else you could think of.

Idea Categories

I sort all my ideas into formatted categories so that they have consistency.

A Case Idea is for:

The premise, theme, or murder of a case (50s Sci-fi themed case, The victim died eating a sandwich, All the witnesses seem to be ghosts)

Any sort of gameplay/story gimmick (you play as a prosecutor, you have to time your objections using a quick time event, Percieve but for speech patterns)

Any other specific event that could happen during a case (“Athena suddenly begins speaking in tongues” works, but “the judge can cast spells” would be a Character Idea)

A Character Idea is for:

An original character idea (Insert your OC. No really, feel free to send me your OCs. Just prepare for me to maybe roast them a little if I find a way to make it funny, unless you say you don’t want me to do that)

Any sort of name pun idea (a barber named Harry Styles, Minimalist named Leslie Moore, Lesbian catgirl named Kitty De Famme)

A variation/deviation from an existing character (The judge but with hair, Franziska but her whip is a charging cable, Pearl fey if she became a lawyer)

A Plot Twist is an occasional repost adding additional info.

Submission/Ask Guidelines

All idea submissions have to start with "Case Idea:" or "Character Idea:" and fit in that category. This only applies to idea submissions.

I might make fun of your submission/ask a tiny bit if I think of a funny way to do it, especially if you’re being hostile. If you don’t want me to do this let me know, but I wouldn't post your submission if I actually thought it was bad. This is just me joking around.*

Please don't send suicide jokes, rape jokes, racism jokes, or fat shaming jokes.** (Gay jokes and trans jokes are fine because I generally assume that if you're in this fandom and on tumblr you probably know enough about gay and trans people.)

If you think I’m hot/smart/funny/etc you have to tell me (sorry man, it’s the rules)

I will immediately delete any ask or submission that has nothing even remotely to do with ace attorney, my blog, my posts, or me.***

Any ask or submission that doesn’t follow the guidelines above will be answered/addressed privately if possible.

FAQ

Q: Why does your screenshot look weird?

A: Because I’m taking a picture of my monitor/screen and cropping it. I play on my Switch and moving photos/videos from there takes way too much effort. The only time I ever do it is when I really need to post a video.

Q: Why didn't you post my submission?

A: Either I’m extremely busy, in which case I can’t post it right now anyways, or it didn’t follow the guidelines.

Q: Can I make fanart of your posts/characters?

A: YES. DO IT. I will repost it and credit you because other people liking what I made brings me great joy.

Q: Why do you hate narumitsu/wrightworth?

A: I don’t, actually, even though I like Gumworth and Gumwright a bit more. I joke about being the number one narumitsu hater, but it’s grown on me after playing through the Apollo Justice trilogy. However, I sometimes have a problem with the way people talk about it.****

Q: Are you joking about thinking that (insert character) is hot?

A: I am always completely sincere about that specific thing. I do like to make jokes about it but that’s because romance/sex is inherently comedic and I know that my taste in men is slightly unconventional, at least for an Ace Attorney fan.

Tags that I use sometimes

#not a case idea:***** I usually add this tag to any post that isn’t a case/character idea, in case people aren’t interested in anything else from this blog, but I’m not really consistent with it.

#tgaa liveblogging: Me liveblogging my way through The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve. I didn’t liveblog the first game. I will use #aaic liveblogging when I get to that game.

#rants about ace attorney shipping: I’ve started using this tag for when I rant about ace attorney ships, as I often do. Earlier rants don’t have this tag.

#fangame stuff/#magnus cloue spirit attorney: Posts about my fangame, magnus cloue spirit attorney

#music: Music I made, usually for the fangame. I also make other music but this is only the ace attorney music.

#art: visual art, probably made by someone else in response to a post

#poll: Self explanatory

#___ my love: pure simping

Magnus Cloue: Spirit Attorney

I'm making an ace attorney fangame called Magnus Cloue: Spirit Attorney, using some of the ideas from this blog along with my own separate writing.

If you want to learn more, you can browse my #fangame stuff and #magnus cloue spirit attorney tags or send me an ask about it. I would love to include any OCs you have as part of the game if I can find a place to put them.

I’m currently looking for feedback on the writing/plot/characters as I make the outlines for the game’s script, but I also could use some help from writers/artists/2d animators/programmers who know how to use RenPy/musicians who can help me out with making the soundtrack.

****I think that sometimes the characterization people apply to is very unusual/makes the story worse, and I especially take issue with the way some narumitsu shippers treat ships like Gumworth/nokomitsu or Feeniris as completely invalid or even harass the people who ship them. Also, I think that sometimes people are way too quick to defend any valid criticism of narumitsu (even if it’s only perceived as criticism) rather than admit the ship is anything other than the most perfect ship ever.

*****the tag is called “not a case idea” because at the time I made the tag I had started this blog and there were only Case Ideas, no Character Ideas. I’m not going to go through every post on this blog just to change it to “not an idea”

this is awesome welcome back catgirl athena

[axolotlelle]

my apologies in advance to both 911 and ffxiv fans but here is my unhinged crossover headcanons:

• Bobby: I was going to make him a miqo nuhn BUT he's catholic so ishgardian elezen be upon ye. ex-temple knight probably, you Know he's a paladin • Athena: (I'm so sorry you share a name with an unhinged aspiring god) That's honestly a tough one bc ACAB, but probably? Middie dragoon? With the whole dragoons being wards of the state thing, she leaves after the dragonson war ends? • Hen: I'm a midlander enjoyer, she can be a middie because I say so. Summoner/Scholar double spec to account for her role as a medic and because her latest glasses scream scholar to me. Probably worked in Ul'dah in some unsavory monarchist business before leaving • Karen! I assign you Sharlayan Miqo. Go do some science you wonderful catgirl, maybe even work on the Ragnarok. Sage looks like a good job? • Buck: Uldahn Highlander, baby Gladiator and Paladin in training, actually would end up as a Gunbreaker after learning from a mysterious handsome Hrothgar (Tommy *cough cough*). May or may not have the echo but he's not about to tell you • Maddie: Also highlander obviously, I'm torn between her being an Astrologian or a Conjurer. I feel like she would know Tataru for some reason. • Chimney: Othard middie, and a bard for very Reasons (had a lot of odd jobs? loves karaoke? yeah that's a bard). He would also love the bard hats.

• Eddie: Eddie Diaz I am bestowing upon you the higher honor I can: bunny (Maybe half-bunny). The job I'm less sure about, I like Monk but Viper is creeping up in the corner. Also this implies bunlet Christopher which would be adorable.

(and yes I'm assiging jobs with an eight man party comp in mind because my brain is huge)

[soaptaculart]

I have this idea of case where you have to investigate a virtual world(like a virtual reality or a MMORPG and everyone has virtual avatars and it involves hacking and stuff(something like Digimon Cyber Sleuth). Imagine what kind of avatar Athena would have

Ok this is such a cute idea. I feel like this would make a really fun DLC case. No idea how you would tie this to a real life murder but that's for the game writers to figure out not me I'm here for the funney escapades

Also I know if they did something like this they would just make the characters' virtual avatars look like the characters but pixelly and possibly in fantasy outfits depending on the setting but I want it to be known that in my humble opinion, if the WAA got to make virtual avatars for themselves any way they wanted, Trucy would have a super cute magical girl looking character, Athena would have a huge buff armoured warrior, Apollo would have the most Some Guy looking character of all time, and Phoenix would have a catgirl

[writingpun-art]

hm. 

i dont know why i did this. 

[fiftyten-oc]

tag establishing. some of these should probably go on a misc mon oc blog eventually

[collabwithmyself]

the whole Thing about the catworth au is that he's the only one like himself but i've entertained other alternatives where

phoenix later turns into a catboy as a metaphor for realizing your neurodivergence waaaay into adulthood and only because you actually finally have other ND people to reference from

athena is a catgirl because she is also VERY obviously ND-coded and it could be an interesting way to explore her parallels with miles (LIKE DD SHOULD HAVE--)

i'm just shy about talking it because. i'm kind of already a huge weirdo with One catperson i'm only going to get worse with More
