Spirit of Justice playthrough post

So I'm currently playing SoJ (duh) and I'll just… use this as a little live reaction thing cus idk

Like omg a magatama bun (im kinda way past this but not too far, just started the trial)

Also what is up with AA and setting up kids as murderers 😭😭 Like first you have Edgeworth way back in DL-6, then there was Ema back in in SL-9, we had a lucky skip in JfA so congratulations JfA, ALMOST had it be Pearl during Bridge to Turnabout (with the whole masterplot thing), Turnabout Serenade was SO bullshit (i had fun though, seeing 3D orange Gavin was funny), then you had UR-1 being the most fucked up of it all.

And now from what I learned the YOUNGEST defendant to date. He is nine years old!!! His crime is swindling tourists out of easy money at most!!!

But anyway. I forgot when I started SoJ I put Nick in the Furio costume and i got jumpscared

Looks good though.

woahh this looks cool

Cant believe im facing Gaspen though, who let his ass be Chief Prosecutor

Like what the fuck are you WEARING why is your suit made out of gold!!!

“D-Don't lump me in with that lawyer!” Ahlbi im trying to help you… what happened to being nice because of Maya :(

RAYFA IS SO MEAN “The words of a lowly worm such as that are not worth troubling yourselves over.” GIRL 😭

YAYYYYYYY

*long drag from a cigarette* here we go again

“Not this time” he thinks 💀

“Phew. Well, I'm glad to hear that. I thought I'd have to reassess my assessment of your sanity for a second there…” LFMAOOO

This was incredibly funny btw she tried so hard to damn Phoenix 😭 “heh, that’ll show him…” and he just, “…yeah still just a kid.” (She’s 14)

Why have weird girl assistant when you have weird girl antagonist

Girl what the fuck

Cant believe i had to point out what a fucking circuit box is but anyway

I bet this dahmalan is the real murder weapon considering that he holds a different one in the trial as the victim was holding the treasure box

So if the victim had the treasure box then obviously, it couldnt have been the weapon

Yeah i fucking knew it

Oh i cant post anymore images.. sad

[prosecutors-gambit]

yeah i think phoenix and franziskas relationship is so interesting too, bc they way i sort of interpreted it during 3-5 was like. Franziskas thinks they are friends, (not like bffs or anything) and she doesnt really have many friends? but for phoenix, and this is possibly just bc he was completely out of it during that case, franziskas "just some girl" (neutral) he couldnt remember her name. but i think this is also bc not to the same degree as edgeworth obviously, but losing to phoenix was an important part of her growth and character development. AS WELL as how phoenix handled losing at the end of 2-4

god does. he not remember her name. freak. i mean sure hes having a rough time of it but have some respect phoenix, thats your future sister in law. in two ways.

fran considering phoenix as her friend is a take i haven’t actually hear before but it’s an interesting one. my gut reaction is to disagree, and say theyre really only putting up with each other but like. if her metric for friends is edgeworth honestly who knows maybe thats how she is with her friends. she really is so lonely though like. thinking about that year between goodbyes and reunion and turnabout makes me so sad bc. girl is alone. completely. she’s not even a legal adult yet at that point so its like. 17 and alone in another country and then your father is convicted of murder and then your brother is DEAD?? like. arugh. anyway this is why my hc for post trilogy franziska is that she’s in a book club with a bunch of moms because i think it’d be really funny and i want her to have just the most normal ladies in their 40s as her friends.

in terms of aa2 and especially the ending, franziska’s development from is is certainly more subtle than say, edgeworth who changes his entire worldview and it really takes until the end of aai2 for her to really truly have her moment of clarity and acknowledgement of the change shes gone through. i think for franziska, it wasn’t the losing that changes her, but as you said, phoenix’ reaction to his own loss. when franziska lost she just tried to deny it, hide it, refused to acknowledge it’s legitimacy. but phoenix losing and being HAPPY about it is such an important moment for franziska because she’s been taught her whole life that losing is wrong and bad, and she’s convinced herself that she lost edgeworth because he lost, and so her losing just makes her angry. but phoenix being happy showed franziska that it wasn’t losing that was the problem.

in my ideal world where franziska gets to be the protagonist of her own game, i’d finish her arc by having her purposefully lose in court. i think it would be a really nice conclusion for the final big choice of the game to be whether or not she presents a piece of evidence that would convict the defendant, but she realizes that the evidence isnt right, and it’s become clear who the real culprit is. the choice to loose would be powerful and i dunno i just think it’d be a cool twist.

Rain reached out, placing a hand on top of his. The touch was startlingly gentle, asking and not demanding of him.

"He really treated you that way?"

When the detective looked up and saw the way the doctor's eyes gazed at him with so much concern and care, he felt almost a stab of guilt and tried to fix it in the only way he knew how; Blaming himself.

"It really was my fault though. I mean, ask anyone! They'll tell you I'm uh, not the brightest. In fact, I'm kinda dumb." The detective rubbed the back of his neck, offering a half smile to his friend, who only looked back with those deer-in-headlights eyes.

"That's... Really not okay." Rain stood up from their chair and faced him, carefully taking his hand into their own. The contact made Dick's skin feel warm, and he wondered how long it had been since anyone had held his hand so gently. "Dick, you dont deserve to be spoken to that way!"

"W-well--"

"-And you're definitely not dumb! Just because your mind works a little differently from theirs, that doesn't make you stupid or slow or dumb or anything like that!" They felt themself getting a little heated, and with good cause! How dare anyone look at such a kind, gentle-hearted man and make him doubt his own importance! "He had no right to even imply that you were any less than him! Your worth is not tied to the type of intelligence you have."

The detective didn't speak, just simply looked down at them with those big, sad puppy eyes that always made Rain's chest ache. They had the same reaction now, and in their desire to comfort him, the doctor opened their arms for the man they loved.

He gratefully accepted the hug, "I just wish I could be better sometimes, yknow, pal? It'd be nice to hear Mr. Edgeworth say 'Detevtive, you're doing a great job! You're getting a raise!' Or maybe even just the first part." He cast his eyes downward as he let go of the embrace, letting the words he never had anyone to tell before come tumbling out, "It feels like I work my tail off and put myself out there, but it's just never enough. I'm... never enough." He choked up a little bit at saying those words out loud to another person for the first time. They stung, and he felt it in his core.

Rain felt this sting as well, hugging themself in attempt to fill their desire to hold and comfort him. "I wish I could let you and everyone else in the world see Dick Gumshoe through my eyes, even for a minute. Maybe then you'd understand."

"Understand what, pal?" He asked, looking to them with eyes that were defeated and tired. What could they possibly see in him that was so wonderful?

The fact that he really didn't know reaffirmed their need to tell him, and they did so softly. "Dick, you are one of the kindest people I've ever met! You're passionate, you're selfless, and you always try your hardest to take care of those around you. You're an amazing person and a terrific detective, regardless of what Miles or that spiky-haired defense attorney may say! Even if you overlook a few details or miss something small, that doesnt change the fact that you deserve respect! Don't you ever think for one single second that how they berate you is how the world sees you."

The detective stood silent for a moment, tears brimming in his eyes. Nobody had ever asserted his worth to him before, let alone done so in such a genuine and caring manner. He almost felt like a weight had been lifted off of him, and he couldnt help himself from pulling them into another embrace. "Thanks, pal... I think I really needed to hear that."

"You deserve to hear it! Your worth isnt measured by how well you fit into anyone else's mold of what they think you should be! I think you're perfect just the way you are," They said quietly, squeezing him tight. "I care a lot about you, and I mean it, really and truly."

When the hug was let go the two of their gazes held, both tearing up more than a little. Rain laughed in embarrassment and the sound caused Dick to do so, as well. Never before had he felt so cared for by another person. He knew in that moment that he truly was cared about by someone, something he very rarely had concrete evidence of in his life of prosecutors with whips and sharp tongues.

For the first time in a while, he felt truly cared for, and that maybe he really was good enough.

POKEMON AU pls.... bc i know ur passionate abt pokemon and honestly Me Too

III LOVE YOU!!! I WAS PLANNING ON MAKING THIS A THING WHERE I ADD IN THE SENDERS MUSE INTO THE HCS BUT MAYA AND YOUR MUSE NEVER INTERACTED WHICH IS A CRIME!!! Dont tell edgeworth or she might get arrested lol. But anway!! I want to do stuff with you!!

ALSO THANK YOU FOR SENIDNG THIS BECAUSE THATS REALLY SWEET OF YOU AND IM REALLY TOUCHED YOU REMEMERED I LOVE POKEMON

Number 1

Mayas first pokemon, funny enough isnt a ghost type, but a normal type. See, in the pokemon verse Mayas background is basically the same. The Fey village is basically unchanged in this worly except for one thing. On a certain part of the mountainside is a forest that travellers tend to get lost in for ages. Many report hallucinations as being the main cause for this so it’s kind of cut off. Maya, being the rebel she is, of course wanders it in hopes of conquering it. Her sister is usually the voice of reason and really it would only take her being like. what if youre lost forever or something to scare her into staying but shes not ther so into the forest she goes! It’s there that she finds a waterfall and goes there to train constantly. She tries and tries to channel spirits and one day, she succeeds! Or so she thinks. The first time she thinks she’s channeled another spirit, she sees herself as the spirit she’s been trying to channel, sees her now-possessed body moving and acting on it’s own. When she runs back to the village to tell her story, she’s told that she couldn’t have channeled a spirit because if she did she would’ve been unconscious. 

Confused Maya goes back and tries again only to get the same result. After a bit of investigating Maya realizes the source of travelers getting lost and the hallucinations is due to a stantler. This Stantler saw Maya, this little girl training so hard that it took pity on her, and wanting to help in the only way it could let her see herself channeling a spirit. At first Maya is crushed and upset at the pokemon for giving her false hope but quickly forgives it and thanks it for wanting to help. The pokemon soon takes on this kind of caring role for Maya, along with also being her only playmate seeing as the other girls in the village are kind of distant with her. Her being the heir to the Master title and Morgan instructing them to listen to her and listen to all her selfish desires, leading to them being resentful of her. Anyway, also to build off of that. Once Mayas sister dies, she asks the Stantler to let her see her Sister again. And thats like a thing she did for awhile before telling it to stop because it became this painful reminder of something she could never do which is channel her sister. Actually fun fact she asked the stantler to show her her mother but was heartbroken when it basically gave her the answer that it couldnt because Maya didn’t have the memory of her mothers face anymore. Anyway. One time when shes particularly heartbroken and hopeless she laments in the forest to herself how shes so useless and cant do anything right. How she hates herself for being this way. Hates herself for not being able to compare to Mia or her mother. At this point she sees the image of her sister saying shes proud of her. Maya is angry at Stantler for showing her such a horrible lie and runs away. Only to later be told by the pokemon that it wasn;t trying to make her see her sister say that, rather it was the only way of communicating that even if no one else appreciated her, it was proud of her. 

ANYWAY ENOUGH OF STANTLER ON TO NUMBER 2

That’s right another in depth backstory for another pokemon hopefully not as long lol

The next on the list is a primeape that lives in the forest, training with sawk and throh. It kind of ended up getting abandonned by it’s trainer in a place where this breed of pokemon aren’t really found but it’s found it’s place with the sawk and throh so it doesn’t mind too much. It ended up earning it’s respect with good old fashioned fighting and is kind of in a ‘king of the forest’ position. Scary and intimidating and bent on establishing its dominance to all that challenge it! Anyway, while Maya is exploring the mountainside of her village she finds out about it and it’s plain to see that Primeape has a certain amount of respect among the other fighting types. After having seen a cool tv episode where the hero challenges the strongest of the strong a really young Maya decides to do the same, announcing loudly when the pokemon is alone that she’s here to challenge the pokemon to a duel to the death! She runs up throws her small fist at the might and strong pokemon!

To which, not wanting to hurt this strange small child, primeape falls over dramatically, clutching the side which she hit and lets its tongue flop out all goofy in the hopes of appeasing her. Maya, not really sure what to do, honestly not even having thought this far ahead starts getting worried for the pokemon and starts crying to which it quickly gets up in a panic to reassure her its ok. From there it kind of takes on this older brother position with her. Also playing with her, letting her grab onto it as she swings throughout the trees. 

Goodness this Maya is turning out to be much more of a wild child than her aa counterpart. She’s not exactly strong, but she’s more athletic I’d imagine in this version. More nimble but can definitely have her clumsy moments on occasion. 

putting last three under cut cause THIS IS LONG. IF YOURE ON MOBILE IM SO SORRY

Number three!

Goodness I stuffed way too much into those other HCs but onto Phoenix! Anyway this also remains for the most part unchanged. What you think the pokemon world doesn’t need lawyers? Anyway, quick tanget but trainers arent really…it’s not a sustainable lifestyle, most people do it as a way of coming of age before moving into the respective field they took interest in during their travels. So no, if you have a pokemon au you don’t have to be some professional trainer. Professional battles are like a sport and trainers are athletes. Sure people enjoy it on the side but it’s NOT the norm to make it a living off of it. You have to be smart and strategic in a very complicatedf sport that takes a LOT  of training and it’s not like in the game where if you spam tackle after walking around for 5 seconds you gain XP. its more like you’re a coach training 6 athletes in how to train their bodies in the best way possible while coming up with tons of game plans. 

anyway tangent over. Phoenix is a lawyer and this taking place in the pokemon world only lends itself towards there being much more factors to consider when thinking of how murders occured. Her life with Phoenix for the most part remains unchanged but as a side note Maya encounters a lot of pokemon along the way during her travels with phoenix. She thinks strong heroic looking pokemon are cool so she tends towards pokemon like sawk and throh or conkeldurr. OH AND IVE BEEN SETTING THIS IN SPECIFICALLY UNOVA AND ONLY RESEARCHING THE UNOVA DEX FOR MAYA ND THE POKEMON THAT SURROUND HER. 

I feel like.. Audino might enter theyre little group at one point? Like Stantler comes with her when she leaves the mountain cause Stantler is a worrywart and Maya is a mess and has never been down to the big city, but Primeape is more trusting in Maya and her abilities and knows shes much stronger than a lot of people give her credit for. He doesn’t come down the mountain to be with her until much later just cause he has a pack to guide. Actually the pokemon it leaves in charge is like another pokemon Maya is close with since it was primeapes apprentice and maya and this pokemon were kids together and kind of were the babies of the pack ANYWAY SORRY TANGENT. 

aNYWAY AUDINO. A while back Audino were attempted to be integrated into crime fighting in some way since the way theyre psychic powers work they’d be able to sense overwhelming…i guess malevolence or evil or bad intentions but like. It’s just REALLY unhealthy for them and it really signifigantly lessens their lifespans just cuase all the negativity eats away at them emotionally and one of the pokemon, it’s really old honestly like it was one of the pokemon that originally was part of this attempt to integrate these pokemon with the police force and was luckily enough like it survived long enough for them to end the program and it just…can’t endure being around negativity anymore like it’s really stressful so it enjoys being around Maya just cause she is really kindhearted and senstive and good and the Wright office is filled with kind hearted people so it just takes comfort being there. It doesn’t really leave the office though and while it’s there for everyone it really does belong to Maya for the most part. 

THATS JUST AN IDEA I HAVE THOUGH IDK IF ILL MAKE THAT PART OF HER CANON

Im kind of just going off on differen points in this one huh. Like the other wre a story here im just like SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS. 

Number 4 (where diana tries to stop being ADHD and hopefully doesnt fail miserably)

Honestly you’d think being part of a back of fighting types would make her more suited towards groups and make her less selfish. Spoiler alert. It didn’t  If you think Maya is good at making people do what she wants now you shouldve seen her when she was a kid. Though it also means shes got a entire pack of fighting types who will die for her and if you make her cry you better be sorry. and if youre not you’re going to be.  

Oh and also dont think that just cause Maya is a forest girl that oh shes strong and knows how to fight cause like. She really doesn’t. Honestly the pokemon around her kind of coddled her and outside of her gaining enough stamina to hold up against running around with her pokemon friends she’s not really….all that much stronger. She doesn’t know how to fight either. She can jsut run really fast and is more likely to attempt more dangerous things that she’s seen other pokemon do cause WHY NOT. She basically just has more dangerous influences lol

Number 5 cause i want to wrap this up a bit

Oh boy now what can i do for a fifth one lets see… see the thing is Maya is basically the same between the two versions of her except for certain like physical differents that I just listed. 

I guess here’s one but she doesn’t….she’s not a good trainer. Like her team, right now, is an old man of an Audino. A Stantler that can only do hallucinations and is kind of bad at fighting and then this powerhouse of a Primeape. 

The Primeape is a GREAT fgighter but tends to keep to the mountains unless it starts missing her and comes downt o visit real quick. Her other two are just…weak. Maya though is really good at thinking on her feet so she can use what her pokemon do have to come up with some great strategies. Thought his doesnt reall come out unless shes backed up against the wall. See the reason why everyone percieves Maya as stupid and useless is because that’s how she percieves herself. Maya for the most part does what she can in what she think she can do but doesn’t really let her true intellect show because shes convinced shes an idiot. She kind of jokes around with bad ideas but she really is quick on her feet and good in a clutch.

So the only time you see her good skills with her pokemon and coming up with inventive ways for these basically powerless pokemon to get her out of tight situations is when literally shes by herself, there’s no one else to rely on and lives are on the line.
