#greatest family tag

[ID: Fully colored digital drawing of the family from The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles from about knee-height up. Gina is standing on the far left. She leans her left arm against Ryuunosuke, with her right arm on her hip. On Ryuunosuke's other side is Herlock, who's ruffling Ryuu's hair. Ryuu ducks and grins; the others are also grinning. Beside them, Yuujin, Kazuma, Iris, and Susato group hug; they are all smiling softly. Everyone's wearing their normal canon outfits except Kazuma, who's wearing his casual outfit from the artbook: a gray waistcoat and jacket over a white shirt with a red tie. The background is a soft ivory. End ID]

Day 4 // Family

[envyenvys]

do you mind..?

[yrlocalghost]

i feel like the thing that really gets to me personally about chara undertale specifically is that at the heart of the story, everything is happening because they were just so loved and nobody (except flowey/asriel) knows about why they died.

toriel visits their grave often, and has never really recovered from losing her children. she took their body and carried it all the way back to the ruins. considering monster customs, this is probably the first time she had ever actually buried someone. it’s grim, but it was out of love.

asgore essentially carries out the remainder of their plan, despite never knowing that there was a plan. he declares war on humanity in the name of both of his children. he has golden flowers everywhere, which only started growing after their death.

literally just. everything about flowey. flowey is the core driving force of the plot, and everything he does essentially comes down go being about his trauma and his grief. this should probably be an entirely separate post

AND ALSO the golden flowers are everywhere and so indicative of them and the grief surrounding that. toriel tries to move on, so you don’t really see many in her home but she visits the grave. asgore has them everywhere and when you get to the throne room, its covered. flowey just straight up IS a golden flower.

the other thing that is interesting is that nobody except flowey (and technically alphys) knows why or how they died. and honestly? it does not really matter. knowing wouldn’t change anything. they’re dead either way. asriel had to carry the burden of that knowledge alone, which is another separate post.

but Yes anyways this is getting Long but the point is that it just makes me insane that chara was just so so loved. it didn’t matter that they were troubled or came from a bad situation, it didn’t matter that maybe they “weren’t the greatest person” or anything. they had a place they belonged, they had it really good for a while and they couldn’t handle that but they were very loved and that is the heart and driving force of the story and i

[ID: Digital half-body drawing of the Baker Street Family from The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles in a warm color palette. From left to right, Susato, Iris, and Herlock are all next to each other. Ryuunosuke, who's standing behind them, wraps them in a hug so they're all squished together. He rests one hand on Susato's shoulder and his other on Iris' arm. His chin is resting atop Herlock's head. His eyes are closed and he's grinning. Susato, also grinning, leans against Iris' shoulder. Iris is laughing, and Herlock looks at her with a smile, holding his pipe in his left hand. All characters are wearing their normal/casual outfits. End ID]

Something I sketched as a part of a bigger drawing, but given how often I don’t finish wips, I’ll just go ahead and upload this first 🥺

Honestly hate how Annabeth doesn't get to keep majority of her items (ie. Daedalus' laptop)

So I just binged The Greatest Estate Developer and I'm clawing at the walls??? Screeching with laughter? God Lloyd busts my sides better than any comedian I've watched. If ya'll haven't read it yet, I'm begging on my knees—

Originally, people compared TGED with LCF, which actually made me leery about reading it because LCF just has that peak found-family-feel that has yet to stand out to me in any other series. But while TGED doesn't have the level of found family that LCF does (bc Cale collects his family like he collects Pokemon), it has other qualities that make it unique and lovable.

Lloyd is similar to Cale in shamelessness and cunning, but he's more hands-on with solving problems, and will not hesitate to fuck a bitch up, personally. Take a shot for every panel that has a tooth he knocked out from his enemies eyy!

Lloyd's replacement of the original body is subtly touched upon repeatedly early on, which I give kudos to because a lot of transmigration stories don't do that, especially if the main character transmigrates into a villain/cannon fodder. This obviously affects the tone of the story, and we get plenty of touching moments that change the relationships between Lloyd and the side characters who knew him intimately before the swap.

His relationship with his summons is also very sweet. I'm sad to say that there's not enough moments with him and his summons, but he does give them cuddles and every panel where he squishes his and their cheeks together hhhh. I got cavities—

Cults are a must for men as charismatic as him, because he's literally bombastic and has so much flair—side characters say he's got a plain ass face but like. Who needs a face that's pretty when you have your personality speak for you?

Love his relationship with the protagonist too. He and Javier are in a constant state of shitting on one another while supporting one another—

Which leads to the main charm of TGED: ITS HUMOR. It's like crack. I can't get enough of it. I'm usually not a big fan of crack humor, but the manhwa takes itself seriously sometimes too, and I guess there's just enough of these moments intermingled that makes me addicted.

If that's not enough to convince people to get started, here's some bonus points:

There's muscles. A lot of muscles. Attractive muscles.

Javier looks like Lio Fotia from Promare.

Emperor? No it's Empress and she's thicc.

One of his summons farts steel pipes and volcanic ash.

I'm begging you to read it.

[ID: A series of digital illustrations. The first depicts 221B bathed in golden light. Iris, in the foreground, faces directly away from the viewer, indicating that the scene is from her perspective. Herlock stands in front of the fireplace, playing the violin; his eyes are closed. Susato and Ryuunosuke sit on the settee; Ryuu scrunches up his face while Susato smiles. Wagahai loafs on the armrest. White text in a handwriting style font reads, "This is my family."

The second shows Herlock, Iris, Ryuunosuke, and Susato smiling and standing under a spotlight in front of a picture or window through which city buildings are visible. The city is in pink tones. The text reads, "I found it all on my own."

The third has a similar golden color palette to the first. Hareley, Usato, and Chuunosuke sit on a windowsill, leaning against each other. Pink curtains frame the window. The text reads, "It's little,"

The fourth depicts Karuma with Kazuma's hachimaki tied around it. This one has a cooler color palette than the others. The background is blue with bubbles, as if Karuma is floating in water. The text reads, "and broken,"

The fifth shows Herlock, Ryuunosuke, and Susato against a pale blue background that fades into a white border. Herlock grins with his eyes closed, holding up a hand to his chin. Ryuu gives him an annoyed look. Susato, who's standing behind them, laughs. The text reads, "But still good."

The sixth panel shows Iris from the shoulders up in front of a peachy background. She has a heartfelt smile on her face. The text above her says, "Yeah,"

...and, lastly, we see them at Baker Street again, this time from a distance. Iris smiles, holding a teapot. Ryuu and Susato, who are sitting on the settee, and Herlock, who's standing with his violin in one hand, all smile back at her. The text says, "still good." /End ID]

The iconic Lilo and Stitch family quote meets Ace Attorney

Got to love the found family trope

i haven’t been able to read the grandest game yet but if grayson has a love interest in that book i’m gonna throw hands

[enigmatic-pers-reblogs]

I realised Theres a pattern in the fandoms I like and I interact with.

Shounen with innocent and sweet teenage boi’s or adults.

One armed monkeys or just power arms in general.

Manhwa guys with suicidal thoughts who are also single fathers of one or more powerful children.

And then there’s one punch man.

[ID: Digital illustration of the animal mascots from the Great Ace Attorney in soft tones. Bearis, Chuunosuke, and Usato, from left to right, are seated on a wooden sofa with teal upholstery. They are smiling. Standing behind them are, from left to right:

Hedgina, a hedgehog version of Gina, who is partially behind Bearis and has a happy grin; a mascot version of Yuujin as a fluffy gray dog, standing behind Hedgina and facing the viewer; Hareley, who is in profile, holding his pipe in one paw, and smiling; Nyan Zieks, who is holding his chalice and slightly pouting; and Nyazuma, who is smiling brightly, in his Yumei uniform. Nyazuma and Bearis have little fangs.

The background is soft beige with a lighter beige border around it, and it has a slightly antique look. End ID]

The home of the world's greatest detective..and my home, too, with my greatest family.) End ID]
