Thinking abt my band swap canon crossover fic again

[ambitionsource]

hi can we get some zaley friendship headcanons whenever you're free? ☺️

im not the best at headcanons just bc of the way my brain functions but im gonna do my best for you, sunny my friend. let’s go zay and riley let’s go!

thrift shop buddies!! one of the most common ways that they hang out is definitely going thrifting. considering they arguably have the two most eclectic wardrobes on the show, this makes sense. esp i fully believe they’re the perfect people to thrift shop with where they encourage each other to try on everything, even if it seems outlandish (and sometimes even more in those moments). that’s the only way to really get some good finds! and i feel like, beyond S1, when they wear items for performances in the show that are clearly unique / seem thrifted, it’s more than 50% likely the other helped them pick it out at some point

on this note, i think that they both have really good senses of what looks good on the other bc they spend this time together, probably better than anyone else (yes, including their significant others. not that that’s hard, since both of their significant others have notoriously bland fashion). like even when theyre not out together i can totally imagine them seeing something and being like “oh this is so riley / zay” and getting it for each other. they know each other’s sizes and have like an ongoing swap credit system gfJSKHJDLFH

riley and zay usually run performance by the other person before they perform them for the class / at an audition. like they find a specific time (usually during breakout sessions during class) to get in front of the other person and run them through their concept + do a run-through for them. they just really appreciate the other’s perspective, especially since they tend to complement each other -- zay is able to identify places where riley could heighten things or add some flair or just like... assert her talent more lmao, whereas riley helps zay pull back on some of his more overwhelming instincts when necessary or find the moments to truly lean in emotionally rather than blowing us out of the water the whole time

if we could actually Watch the show, i guarantee 9/10 times when riley or zay is performing, we would cut to the other enjoying the performance. like theyre always bobbing their head along and truly feelin the other’s performances. excellent vibes luv!

i also think they harmonize well with each other, which is why its kind of a shame they dont do more performances together within the context of assignments (as for why, couldn’t tell you... it might just be a weird psychological thing of like i have These people i perform with when it matters and these who are just for fun... like maybe zay and riley tend to see each other as easygoing comfortable duet partners and thats why they try not to overdo putting pressure on it). but yeah they absolutely have days where they just hang out in one of the rehearsal studios and play around on the piano and try to find ways to harmonize on their favorite songs. this is some of the best singing riley ever does, bc its so low stakes and fun

i also think that honestly, zay really helps strengthen riley’s vocals over the time they’re friends -- especially early on. riley is someone with good raw talent but she’s never thought about honing it seriously prior to joining aaa, whereas zay has been on a career mindset since he was little. so he is good at teaching her like small technique things or helping her expand her range and she really values that esp bc hes so selfless about giving it, but it doesnt come off naggy or unnecessary like maya’s advice often does

sometimes it can be hard for them to find songs they both wanna sing though bc their music taste is so different. i think they have like three small categories where their favorites overlap -- select big names (sza, chloe x halle), jazz / old-time crooners (frank sinatra, nina simone, and the like), and select musical theater. but i think this is mainly on zay, bc he’s much more picky about music than riley who will give anything a listen without much nudging. as we know zay likes to pick on his friends’ music taste (like charlie and harry styles / 1d) and i don’t think riley would escape this affectionate teasing. they exchange song recs and riley gives him like her usual piano ballad-y sara bareilles tswift rachael yamagata energy and shes like oh yes, another piano ballad and hes like STOP!!! JUST LISTEEEENNNN GFSJKLHJFDSKLHKDLFH

that said though, they’re definitely go-to friends when it comes to like checking out a new local artist or coffeeshop open mic nights. this is probably a typical zay / riley / yindra outing

zay doesn’t spend a ton of time watching tv bc “he has better things to do with his time,” but riley and zay are definitely the type to watch a show together. like not always Together, but they’ll try to keep up with each other so that they can talk about it (and riley has to try really hard not to keep binging and get way ahead of zay). theyre good at this bc they can have really intense and opinionated conversations about it but in a way where its like safe and neither of them feel like theyre actually being judged / are stupid if they disagree (something thats not common for riley, and zay usually is trying to discuss media with super strong personalities who aren’t great at Debating).

in general, though, they tend to agree on favorite characters / relationships. for example, they both hate rachel berry -- which always gets maya and farkle extremely heated if they’re around. i can only imagine why...

they’re also definitely safe-space vent people for each other. they don’t use the privilege all that often bc i think both of them try to like keep their cool and not get hung up about things, but if they really just have to pop off about something they know they can go to the other person and they’ll actually Listen and keep it under wraps rather than either spilling it to everyone else and/or immediately trying to problem solve rather than just listening to the Emotions. and it’s helpful bc for the most part, their friends don’t actually really overlap that much, so they don’t really like harbor the emotions the other person unloads on them or let it affect their dynamics with other people? like riley can talk about dasher and zay can talk about yingel without it having any ripple consequences bc theyre different circles.

for example, i can totally see riley talking to zay about how she feels like -- at first -- asher doesn’t really like her and won’t really let her in and like he doesn’t want her to join the friend group (even tho that isn’t really true). like she can’t talk to dylan about it bc she’s not going to put him in that position and she’s not foolish enough to think that’s a good idea, she can’t talk to lucas about it bc he like doesn’t get stuff like that gFJKHGLFJSDLH and also he has such a set impression of asher it would be hard for him to understand it from her perspective. zay has none of that, so hes a good person to listen to her nerves about it.

the only times this gets kind of complicated / janky is in the midst of zay x charlie stuff where riley is kind of unintentionally (or, sometimes, intentionally) in the middle. like, zay trusts her not to go telling charlie what he says about him, but he knows they’re good friends too, and its an awkward position to put her in. but still, i think when zay is really hurt or frustrated he’ll snap sometimes and just vent out all his anger about charlie to riley in one foul swoop, and she’ll just absorb it like a sponge without judgment and then not bring it up again. but you can also see little ways where this puts pressure on their friendship, like how when he was drunk in 304 zay expressed resentment towards the fact that riley also talks to charlie and sometimes he feels like she puts him first, even though that isn’t true. it’s just..... a very very complicated (and interesting, if emotional) situation with that trio.

that being said, when things are Good, i think that zay feels comfortable talking about his significant others (including charlie) with riley. he doesn’t really get too Detailed about anything personal or anything, but they definitely discussed charlie in s2 in the small window of time where riley knew and zc wasn’t actively imploding LMAO. on the flip side, riley doesn’t really talk to zay about her relationships, but only bc her relationship is lucas GJFSKLJHLKDJHFLDSH. like anyone else she’d be like okay sure this is fine but she knows zay finds lucas annoying 65% of the time and talking about him in a romantic context grosses him out so she respects that LMAOOOO. hysterical

in general, if they’re gonna hang out, they usually go to either a local coffee shop they like (like svorskis) or each other’s houses. its kind of a relief to have a person they can just take anywhere and have around their parents with no trouble at all, considering both of them are used to having a boyfriend who cant be seen in their house (for different reasons). and theyre comfortable enough that like i think when they hang out at their houses, they just spread out in the living area of both bc theyre not hiding anything, its like very lowkey and comfortable

that being said, riley doesnt spend much time in zay’s usual studio at school. most people don’t, its a place zay now likes to be alone (and it feels weird with someone else being there who isnt charlie)

as for how they come off to their families, the babineauxs love riley. jada has met her a couple of times and thinks she’s super sweet + zay could afford to learn a thing or two from her like how to chill the fuck out (cue zay going shut the fuck up). donna is excited that zay has another friend who isn’t batshit intense about stuff like maya / farkle, she figures yindra has the diva best friend role covered and zay needs more friends like nigel and riley to ground him. she’s right about this.

cory likes zay, but he also does have some prejudices from the teaching perspective about how zay doesn’t pay attention in class half the time and blows off his assignments -- but this isn’t partially because cory isn’t a great teacher and his assignments suck. so the feeling is mutual, tho zay gets along better with cory in a neutral, polite sense than say, asher and dylan, where it’s like guerilla psychological warfare. topanga has no opinion about zay bc riley doesn’t introduce her friends to her (wisely).

they’re still very common lunch buddies. essentially when riley isn’t eating with the techies (which is only when lucas is there usually) or bothering lucas in the booth once a week, she’s with zay (which usually also means nigel, yindra, and farkle, though not always)

ultimately, i think that when someone asks riley who her best friend is, her mind will always jump to zay first. not even because theyre necessarily the closest at any given time, but because he really was her first life raft at aaa and he extended that kindness to her in a moment where she was so used to being brushed aside, talked over, ridiculed -- and you don’t forget that. it stays with you. so when she thinks about her Best Friend, speed round answer, he will always come to mind first. i think she greatly admires his skillful balance of confidence and compassion, his sarcastic sense of humor, the way he gets so passionate about dance and music and how these elements come together, and his inarguable kindness that is at his core and so fundamental to everything he does (even when his more known reputation is a bit more barbed and witty).

on the flip side, i think riley came into zay’s life at the exact moment he needed it. we know he felt isolated in s1, and even though i think he thinks of nigel and yindra as his first-to-mind best friends, riley was a breath of fresh air who allowed him to be himself with someone who wasnt going to judge him on past decisions or impressions. just like he gave her the chance to define herself in his eyes with his extension of company on that first day, she does the same for him by not making assumptions about him and learning who he is on their terms. i think she’s also just a really great, measured system of support -- she’s not busting his balls or keeping him in check like yindra and nigel do (except when its really needed, like 304), but she isn’t as in awe / romanticized with him like charlie. i think he appreciates that he can go to her for an honest perspective, but she’ll take the care to deliver that honesty in a gentle way. it’s like, he’s tough enough to take a hit, but sometimes its nice to know you have someone who will be kind with you even then.

that’s what is at the core of their friendship overall. kindness.

It’s Complicated (Part 2)

Part 1 Part 3 Part 4  Part 5  Part 6  Part 7  Part 8 Part 9

Trevante Rhodes x Reader

A/N: sorry I’m late posting this...it been a long ass day and I was trying to hurry up and finish this so if it sucks im sorry I promise the next chapters will be good (I hope).

It’s Monday morning and you’re finally back at work after what felt like the longest weekend ever. You sat in your office when you see Maya walking towards your office. She excitedly walks and and sits in the chair in front of your desk.

“So how was it?” She asks leaning in.

“How was what?” You ask her.

“Bitch! Your date with Roman, considering you hadn’t called you text me all weekend I’m gonna say your weekend was a little busy.” Maya says winking at you.

“It was a busy weekend...just not with Roman.” You say giving her a look.

“What happened?” Maya sighs with a disappointed look on her face.

“Roman never showed the fuck up that’s why happened.” You say standing up from your chair.

“Are you fucking serious? I’m gonna fucking kill him.” She yells.

“No it’s cool even though your good deed went wrong there was something good that came out of it.” You sit on the desk in from of Maya. “Even though Roman never showed up I met another guy and I actually had a amazing night. And before you ask no we didn’t sleep together.” You tell her.

“Why not?” She questions.

“Because we were getting to know each other like normal ass humans and plus he didn’t really seem like the type.” You continue.

“Spill it who is he?” Maya says getting closer to you.

“His name is Trevante, he’s a lawyer and he’s fine ass fuck.” You smile.

“Well then shit fuck Roman.” Maya laughs.

A few minutes later Ava’s assistant comes into your office to let you know that Ava wanted to see you to talk about a upcoming shoot. Maya leaves and heads back to her desk while you go to Ava’s office.

After a day of getting things set up for a shoot that was coming up you tiredly grabbed all your stuff and went home. As soon as you got home you received a text from Tre. He wanted to know if you wanted to go out sometime this week. You told him that you had to go to San Francisco for work but when you came back you were available. You later got ready for bed and prepare yourself for work tomorrow knowing it was gonna be hectic especially because you knew Ava was gonna try to change plans at the last minute.

You walked into work the next morning to people scrambling all over trying to find pieces for the photoshoot that was scheduled for tomorrow. You went to your office to put your stuff away and make your way to Ava’s office to make sure everything was set before you left for San Francisco later tonight. To your surprise Ava didn’t really change much of what was originally planned which made it easier to finish what needed to be done.

You and Maya were boarding your plane when you got a call from Trevante. “Hey how are you?” You ask. “I’m amazing actually how about you?” He replies. “I’m doing really well. I’m sorry but can I call you back my plane is about to take off?” You tell him. “Yeah sure just call me when you get there or when your not busy.” Trevante say. You say your goodbyes and hang up your phone and put it away.

You spent three days working on this shoot and you were exhausted. The last three days were spent on sets and making sure everything was going smoothly. When you did get time for yourself you spent it trying to get some sleep even if it meant a little 10-20 minute nap. You were in your hotel room getting stuff together for the next day. You get a call from Maya saying that everyone was headed back to LA in the morning because they had everything they needed.

Friday morning you arrive back in LA and instead of going straight to work you took the day off and stayed home to rest. You showered then watched tv for a few minutes before you drift off to sleep. After about 4 hours you woke up and made yourself something to eat. You decide to call Tre to make plans to got out after a few rings he answers.

“Hey Y/N!” He answers.

“Hey! Am I interrupting anything.” You say.

“No you’re good I was just walking out of a meeting. What’s up?” Tre asks.

“Sorry about not calling you back work got crazy and I forgot.” You say apologetically.

“No worries I understand.” He pauses and you start to speak but he continues. “Are you free tonight?” He asks.

“Yeah I’m free!” You tell him.

“Ok cool I’ll pick you at 8:30.” Tre says.

“Perfect see you then. I’ll text you my address.” You smile.

“Perfect see you soon.” He says before hanging up.

Later that night you got ready and fixed up your hair and make up when your doorbell rang. You answer the door to Trevante standing there with a huge smile look as gorgeous as every. You let him in as you grabbed your purse and put your shoes on. The two of you walk to his car and he opens the door for you. He gets in the car and starts to drive to your location.

“So where are we going?” You ask looking at him.

“To this new restaurant downtown.” He says as he glances at you.

The rest of the ride was silent with a few stares and glances back and forth with each other. When you get to the restaurant Trevante get out the car and opens your door as he guides you inside. You’re greeted by the hostess and she escorts you to your table. You sit down as your waiter walks up to take your drink order. A few minutes later you waiter shows up with your drinks and takes your food orders before leaving again.

After a brief silence you look up at Trevante and notice him looking at you.

“What?” You laugh.

“Nothing you’re just beautiful.” He says smiling back at you. You laugh again and he starts talking.

“How was San Francisco?” Trevante asks.

“It was crazy, kinda wish I got to explore more of the city but we had so much to do in so little time. I’d love to go back one day and actually see the city.” You tell him. “What about you how’s being lawyer?” You continue.

“It’s good actually I get to handle so really high profile cases and some really crazy ones.” He says.

You food soon arrives and both of you eat while continuing your conversation. When you were done you left and Trevante started to take you home. On the drive Tre’s rest his hand on your leg. Your breath started to hitch and you suddenly became hot. You rolled down your window a little to cool down as you pulled up in front of your apartment.

Trevante gets out of the car and helps you to walk you to your door. You two didn’t say anything until you got to your apartment door. You thanked him for everything and he suddenly pulls you in for a kiss. You get into you apartment and continue kissing Tre as both of you undressed each other. Trevante picks you up carrying you to your bedroom. He lays you down on the bed and kisses you once more and starts to trail kisses from your neck to in between your thighs. After what felt like hours both you and Trevante finally meet your release. You went to the bathroom and came back out to lay in bed with Tre has you watched tv. After a while he drifted off to sleep and you later on his chest as you fell asleep soon after.

BNHA characters as k-12 songs

1. Wheels on the bus = Izuku Midoriya 

“I’m just looking out the window and it’s cold outside, there are two boys yelling behind me and I'm terrified. Counting trees as they pass me by and I'm trying not to look across the aisle. ‘Cause Maya’s letting Dan put his hand up her shirt and she’s got her hand down his pants.”

2. Class Fight = Toga Himiko

“Her face was fucked up and my hands were bloody. We were in the playground, things were getting muddy. The teacher broke us up after I broke her and my one true love called me a monster.

Mommy, why do I feel sad? Should I give him away or feel this bad? “No, no, no - don't you choke.” Daddy chimed in “go for the throat.”

3. The Principal = Shigaraki Tomura

“Complicated, overrated. You’re fixated and elated, by the separation in this place that you’ve created. Fuck all of your rules and guidelines. You shouldn’t even be on the sidelines. 

Can’t you see that we’re all hurtin’? If you’re not teaching, we’re not learnin’. Excuse me, how much are you earnin’?

I’ve tried to make you listen, but you won’t, it’s your way, right?”

4. Show & Tell = Dabi (Touya Todoroki)

“You pull me by hair so I don’t go nowhere. Tell me you love me, but you treat me like I'm never there. You say the cruelest words, and yes, they break my heart. ‘Cause I'm over here working my ass off.

Why is it so hard to see? If I cut myself, I would bleed. I’m just like you, you’re like me. Imperfect and human are we. Show and tell. I’m on display for all you fuckers to see.”

5. Nurse’s Office = Minoru Mineta

“Don’t cut me, punch me, just let me go - into the nurse’s office where I float away. I’m pale as the loose-leaf paper they grow from hollowing out all my lungs in the snow.

Yeah, I'm coughing. I’m bleeding, Band-aids won’t heal it. ‘Cause they hate me, so I'm fakin’ all of, of this so they take, take me, take me home.”

6. Drama club - Chizome Akaguro (Stain)

“They try to feed you lines that you have to memorize. You always hide behind your Wizard of oz disguise. Do you even have a brain? You’re sticking to a page. You’re faking all of your pain, yeah, you’re bleeding on a stage.

I never signed up for your drama, up for your drama, up for your drama club”

7. Strawberry Shortcake - Momo Yaoyorozu

“Feeling unsure of my naked body. Stand back, watch it taking shape. Wondering why I don’t look like barbie. They say boys like girls with a tiny waist. Now, my mama’s preaching to make sure I'm pure. But I never really cared about this shit before. Look around the room to whoever wants me.

Got buys acting like they ain’t seen skin before. Got sent home to change ‘cause my skirt is too short.”

8. Lunchbox friends - Jin Bubaigawara

“Wanna be my best friend, then judge me. If I smoke a little weed, makes no fucking sense to me. The hassle, the fighting, they all want a bite of me. Photos, more photos, then gossip ‘bout hoes they they don’t know. Oh, they talk shit though.

I don’t want lunchbox friends, no. I want someone who understand, oh, no. Come to my house, let’s die together. Friendship that will last forever.”

9. Orange Juice - Shoto Todoroki

“Oh, I wish I could give you my set of eyes. ‘Cause I know your eyes ain’t working, mmm. I wish I could tell you that you’re fine, so fine. But you will find that disconcerting.

You turn oranges to orange juice. Either there, then spit it out of you. Your body is imperfectly perfect.”

10. Detention -  Tenya Iida

“I’m not a bad guy. So don’t treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright? Please don’t be mad if I don't smile back, alright? If I fuck up my words, don't think I'm absurd? Alright? Alright? 

I’m physically exhausted, tired of my knuckles beating. I’m chewing gum to pass this time of sadness. Can’t you see it?”

11. Teacher’s pet. Can’t do shit with this. Im sorry. Maybe a lil’ bit of Izuku x All might?

“You love me me, but you won’t come save me. You got a wife and kids, you see them daily. Don’t know why you even need me?

Teachers pet, if I'm so special, why am I a secret? Yeah, why the fuck is that? Do you regret the things we shared that I'll never forget? Well do you? tell me that. I know I'm young, but my mind is well beyond my years. I knew this wouldn’t last, but fuck you, don’t you leave me here.”

12. High School Sweethearts = Ochaco Uraraka

“Step one, you must accept that I'm a little out of my mind. Step two, this is a waste of time if you can’t walk me down the finish line. Step three, give me passion, don’t make fun of my fashion. Step four, give me more, give me more, more.

If you can’t handle a heart like mine, don’t waste your time with me. If you’re not down to bleed, oh no.

13. Recess = All Might

“I was too young to see the truth, in my grandma’s lap, im drowning in her perfume. Too naive to even care ‘bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair.

People gonna say, if you need a break, someone’ll take your place. People gonna try to tell you that you’re fine with dollars in their eyes. (Just remember)

warning, the following has mainly snarky (and possibly furious) opinions on Spirit of Justice. Reader discretion is advised.

alright. part two, here we go

-

“she’s safe”

“I’m afraid you’ve lost me”

the words ‘maya’ and ‘safe’ do not go together in phoenix’s dictionary 

-

...Phoenix’s phone has caller ID??

-

ooh a phone vocal-blip. cute

-

ok fuck you how is the Benefactor keeping tabs on them?? Did Atishon use his One Phone Call to report to headquarters or something???

-

“I admit, I didn’t see that coming”

well spoilers guys I know who the benefactor is, and they have to be pretty fucking stupid not to know that a spirit medium is needed for this.

-

“its your friendly neighbourhood dragon”

no dhurke, youre not cool enough to be spiderman.

-

“you cant lay a hand on maya fey, and i mean literally”

>foreboding 

-

[sighs deeply]

guys. just. fucking call edgeworth. he’s chief prosecutor of america and his sister is part of INTERPOL. call edgeworth and just. fix the fucking problem. right now.

-

“No time to explain”

ggghhghghhghghgh

-

...oh. there’s edgeworth

...............now watch him be completely fucking useless

-

.......ARE YOU KIDDING ME

PHOENIX /DID/ CALL EDGEWORTH THE MOMENT MAYA WAS KIDNAPPED AND HE STILL WENT THROUGH HIS FUCKING “DUHHH BETTER DEFEND THIS OBVIOUS CRIMINAL” SHIT??

-

oh edgeworth. you and your chartered planes.

whenever he does that i like to imagine he hired MJN air.

-

Edgeworth...

A) Why are you letting Dhurke be involved? Just cut him out, send Franziska and Lang in with a team of guys and kick the shit out of the enemy

B) You don’t need to conceal someone on a charter jet. You chartered it. You can do whatever the fuck you want with it. Besides, Dhurke got into the country p easily, he can get out the same way.

C) Dhurke is a criminal. Depending on what he’s done as a rebel, he could be as guilty in your country as his home country. Why are you acting like he’s innocent? Aren't you kind of by-the-book?

-

oh yeah and despite the fact that they’ve updated Phoenix’s sprite, Miles still looks like a frozen plank of wood. Thanks :\

-

Apollo: Sorry Trucy, guess you have to hold all the unnecessary evidence and hold down the fort and be LEFT BEHIND FOR A CHANGE AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

-

oh. this is a really nice garden.

the drama theme is kinda harshing the mellow tho

-

o hai rayfa

-

um. what the fuck. that mask must make it pretty difficult to do shit pal

-

Garan, whilst ordering her henchmen online: drama queen or king preferred 

-

UR DIARRHOEA, GAH-RAHN

cool theme, love the use of the royal “we”. 

-

“what about those guards over there”

“ohh, just prepared to fuck shit u–– iii mean help you haha.”

-

yeahhh... I'm not buying her super calm “my husband is a kidnapper” attitude. 

-

UIGSFILGFLIS DHURKE YOU FUCKING MORON

god he’s such a useless piece of shit. unless he’s trying to get taken so that he can be taken to... idk, wherever Maya is held in some sort of Gambit, he’s a real moron for just up and outing himself like that.

-

BAAAAARBED HEAD. YOU HAVE SOME SPLAAAAAAAAININ TO DOOOO

-

man why do they even give us other options if we can’t use them???

-

“Dhurke... I sure hope he’s alright”

hey apollo wanna hear a secret

i dont 

-

Phoenix externally: Patience, Apollo, patience.

Phoenix internally: we are so screwed at any moment the queen could be all “OFF WITH YOUR HEAD” and i’ll never see trucy or maya again jesus holy mother buddha help me

-

i love that Garananana is kinda just chilling with them. You got more important shit to do, queenie. like being evil 

also open your goddamn mouth once in a while, sheesh

-

Apollo: I hope no one gets hurt

The entire series of ace attorney as a whole: oh honey

-

wait ... INGA HAD A RATTAIL?!

-

ohhh yesss listen to those punches

why couldn’t they have animated it too ;w;

-

phew. im glad Maya’s ok. 

-

yeesh... poor Rayfa.

-

i love that even apollo’s like “fuck dad, you didn't kill him, did you?????”

its a beautiful contrast to how adamant he was about Trucy not killing Manov. 

-

um, soundtrack, now is not the time for Grand Revival. I know Edgeworth is on screen but the shit he’s saying is far, far from uplifting.

-

“it seems prosecutor sahdmadhi has grown quite fond of her”

nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

-

“they’ve almost become a team of sorts”

ok so mark Ema down on the list of AJ characters who will never be seen again after this game.

fuck man i’d even take Klema over this 

-

can you imagine if they'd split up Apollo/Phoenix  Edgeworth/Athena instead

i really wonder how Athena and Edgeworth would interact. Athena’s spunky enough to be a bit like Kay I suppose, so maybe similar to that.

-

again, Kooraheen’s detention centre theme is really quite pretty

too bad i have to look at Dhurke’s face while listening to it

-

...a tasty... hash house

i

oh apollo’s up for that

well tbh if i was him i could use some hash after all this shit

-

yEAH YOU TELL’IM APOLLO

SMARTEN THAT BASTARD UP

-

god apollo he’s not worth it. i’d say leave the fucker to his fate but i guess it is important to find the real killer... sigh

-

apparently queen Amara liked insensitive fuckbags with masculinity issues

oh well. to each their own.

-

>:( don’t compare Dhurke’s story to Phoenix’s, Apollo 

-

“you ran?! but why?!!”

oh i dunno, athena, maybe the fucking death penalty?????

-

hang the fuck on

are you telling me that Dhurke started making trips to his shitty abandoned law office via sewer... while Apollo was still with him?!

Like what fucking reason would he have to drag him down there?! The place is an archive/resistance base, but Apollo and Sadmad lived in the mountains as children; why the fuck would he take his /kids/ into town at the risk of having them all arrested at once?!

WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM, DHURKE

-

that orb better be a fucking laser or some shit cause I'm really tired of hearing about it 

-

oh......... hi sadmad..................... what a pleasure to see you........... again................

just as fucking pleasant as ever

-

i love that Dhurke is like “what happened to fighting the man, son??”

like even if he is a double agent he can’t very well just be like “psst I'm still on your side!!!!” in front of the fucking guard 

i hate that dhurke’s face is so placid during this too.

“Son, why did you betray me? Also how was the sports game?”

-

“The Nahyuta you knew exists no more”

yeah sure sadblackworth, whatever you say

-

oh well that was abrupt 

meh, onwards to the tomb

-

“No, that’s the holy mother. She’s the one who brought spirit channeling to Khura’in”

oh so you mean Ami Fey.

-

oh ema... i’ll miss you while youre off being Sadmad’s lapdog 

-

“You mean His Ephemeral Holiness?”

Yes, Ema, fight it!!! Fight it!!!!!!

“But when he manages a smile and compliments my work, it’s hard to say no.”

...nuts. 

-

wait what do you mean the defendant is someone you know

you met Dhurke like once a day ago 

-

aw apollo took the locked-room-mystery words right out of my mouth. i love him so. why are they going to take him away?

-

 alrihgt back to this shit after like a 3 month hiatus or something 

-

i love how chill everyone is talking about Maya’s kidnapping 

“oh yeah he brought her here to the tomb so nobody would see. sensible thing to do. oh also maya almost died but i guess that’s nbd”

-

casually opens a tomb

casually opens the sarcophagus hangings  

casually tries to open the sarcophagus when told there’s a mummy inside

apollo, you're contracting douche-itis from everyone else. this old family of yours is a bad influence.

-

...we’re gonna yeet this sarcophagus arent we 

-

i love that Amara’s just kinda. depicted standing there as she’s burned to death. i mean i guess theyre trying to preserve her beauty and dignity in death but it also makes her look like an idiot who didnt try to escape the flames. 

ooh i like that last one though

-

pff thats a pretty well-equipped corpse line

-

“Where’d the other three bullets go?”

“Maybe Dhurke ate them?”

if he did they'd better have a VERY good explanation 

-

“the poor guy”

EMA

HE WAS HOLDING MAYA HOSTAGE

-

“the cuffs of justice”

love it

-

“just one of those traditions people do and they dont know the reason why”

“like rolling up your sleeves?”

“or your psychology, if we’re going there” HE FUCKING WENT THERE

OOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE YOU APOLLO

-

“he said grape juice has something in it that helps you relax”

are we going into grape juice lore here

"Really? ...Um, are you sure he was talking about regular, plain old grape juice?”

Yes, actually, Athena. It’s canonical that it is /actual off-the-vine welsh’s good ol’ sippy cup grape juice/. It’s not a metaphor or a censoring for kids, it’s just juice.

Of course, this is written by the DDSOJ staff. And considering the intense, dark n’ gritty action makeover the series got, I wouldn’t put it past them to retcon the juice into the... “fermented variety”. thanks Athena.

Yayyy not only do they write shitty dads, but they have to retroactively en-shitten Phoenix as an alcoholic father. Gosh, I sure do love these guys.

(obviously this isn’t a dig at anyone who head canons gj as wine, there’s a difference between head canons and malicious retconning.)

-

hmm interesting mechanic for this chair. i guess since you can’t stuff it in your inventory you cant do the ‘look all over’ thing. but on the other hand, they REALLY wanted to impress you with that hidden blood.

-

Ema: [performs a blood test in 2 seconds] I didn’t get a match!

Well probably not in that time, babe

i have to commend them on the little cutscene though that was nice. 

-

again, i guess Amara really liked emotionally stunted fuckwads

the devil horns are a bit much, though.

-

oh damn.

thats a nice ass pendant 

...oh thats blood

well, it sets off the pink and gold quite nicely. and its a butterfly... seems like something Dahlia would wear

-

“speak of the devil...”

speak of the devil indeed. hiiiiiii sadmad... its been a while.

-

oh ok he didnt say anything 

also i find it funny that apollos like “Wait!! wait!! damnit, after him!”

and then you just. go back into the talk menu with Ema. bit of a moment killer, there.

-

“why does everything have to be so difficult with you?”

cause hes a prosecutor, apollo. thats just how it is on this bitch of an earth 

-

“the law is the law. placing personal feelings above it is beyond reprieve”

ah but placing religion above it is totally fine. gotcha yuts

-

“And the winner is... prosecutor Sahdmadi!”

helpful, athena

-

“it’s like he’s trying to cover something up with his pretty words!”

oh did you mean the inevitable reveal that he's actually a good guy and we have to forgive him for being a shitwad? 

-

oh wow. that joke post about sadmad developing generalized anxiety was actually based on a legit thing that happened 

is it ok if i hate him even more for it? i mean how did he figure it out? he didn’t let apollo use it in court so where would he have gained the knowledge? unless he knows about Thalassa’s abilities...

...also, how /is/ he doing this? the way Perceive works isn’t just “i can sense that you’re uncomfortable”, it’s that people who can use it have extremely good eye-sight and see tiny little movements in other people. If they’re smart about it, they can tell that the movements mean the enemy is lying. Apollo just happens to get tense when he notices this, most likely because he’s kind of straining his eyes.

But then again that brings up the fact that his power would act up CONSTANTLY, either because EVERYBODY FIDGETS, or Apollo himself could just be stressed and making the bracelet squeeze on its own.

So thanks, SOJ. Not content with ruining Apollo’s canon, you’ve also got to ruin his cool lawyer power. Gosh, you’re just the gift that keeps on giving, aren’t you? 

-

“Powerless in the face of the Holy Mother’s blessings”

SOJ team is now nicknamed the Holy Mother. Or possibly the Unholy Mother.

-

“Looks like your power won’t work against Sadmadhi. Guess we’ll have to try something else.”

“Yeah, let’s ask Dhurke...”

Yeah. Because you obviously don’t have someone with you RIGHT NOW who ALSo has a special power. You dont even have TWO POEPLE with you with a special power. Guess we’d better talk to the man who birthed this shiteater.

-

“I won against Mr. Wright”

yeah in a completely rigged trial where losing would be the worst option. thats not really something to brag about, you know.

-

“...doomed to be reborn as something lower than a bug or a vegetable”

you heard it here first folks Sadmad hates sustaining agriculture and the bees.

-

>Lang’s scrolls and dickfuckery

>Edgeworth’s by-the-bookishness

>Franziska’s catchphrase

>Blackquill’s backstory twist

These were the ingredients chosen to make the perfect prosecutor. But the SOJ writers accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: BAD WRITING 

THUS UNINSPIRED ASSHOLE WAS BORN!

-

apollo you don’t matter to anyone anymore youre getting the boot. do as your foster pop said when you were a drowning 5 y/o and suck those pussy baby tears back into your skull.

-

welp thats it for part one of investigation day 2. now (i think) we’re headed over to the delicious pandering of Phoenix and Edgeworth, back together. Will it bring me solace despite being an obvious ratings grab?

good god, i hope so.

till next time.

PLVAA P13- “A taste of despair” yep that’s an accurate description of life without Maya in it

Nick is dealing with Maya’s apparent death the way he deals with all grief: by repressing the fuck out of it and pretending things are cool. He keeps spacing out and not paying attention when everyone’s talking but then acts like he’s fine. NICK. 

ugh here comes inqusitor Barnham their conversation is basically like this (Nick even gets TWO special angry animations for it, literally the first time in this entire game they are used)

Barnham: Defender Wright, I’m sorry about

Phoenix: HI I HATE YOU

Barnham: the loss of Maya Fey-

Phoenix: I. HATE. YOU.

B: okay but-

Phoenix: I FUCKING PROVED MAYA INNOCENT

B: okay i know that

Phoenix: BUT SHE’S STILL DEAD!!!

B: okay i’m saying-

Phoenix: I LITERALLY THOUGHT I COULD NEVER FIND A COURT WORSE THAN THE ONE AT HOME BUT WOW I FOUND ONE! WHERE IS JUSTICE? I WANT JUSTICE!

Barnham: you’re right

Phoenix: SHE WASN’T EVEN A WITCH OR WHATEVER THE HELL!

Barnham: what happens in the courtroom is my responsibility-

Phoenix: YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT IT IS PROSECUTOR WHATSYOURFACE!

Barnham: ok but

Phoneix: YOU GUYS LIKE MAGIC SO GODDAMN MUCH I DEMAND YOU CAST A SPELL AND BRING MY BEST FRIEND BACK DO YOU HEAR ME. CAST A SPELL! BRING  MAYA BACK!!!! UNDEAD-IFY HER! HUMAN TRANSMUTATION PRONTO.

Barnham: okay that’s like. not possible. you watched fma right. But look, you can kill me if it makes you feel better. It seems like you really want to do that? So I’m giving you my permission?

Phoenix: THAT WOULD REQUIRE LOOKING AT YOU AND I DON’T WANNA SO GET THE HECK OUT OF MY FACE.

(in the distance): oh wait there they are

Luke: oh no Mr. Wright is yelling so much we’re gonna get captured:

Barnham: ok here’s how to escape

Luke: GREAT. Mr. Wright are you coming

Phoenix: idk i don’t care about anything rn

Luke: MR WRIGHT

Phoenix: fINE

honestly, same Phoenix

anyway they leave and Phoenix snaps out of it enough to realize he kinda almost got them captured and says sorry. “I GOTTA KEEP IT TOGETHER! THESE TWO NEED ME!” who is better at repressing horrible grief Phoenix or Apollo everyone take your votes

Phoenix also remembers Luke’s bff is dead rn too and thanks him for keeping it together. Luke is like “IT’S OKAY THEY’LL BOTH COME BACK I’LL FIGURE OUT HOW TO CAST RESURRECT” and Pheen’s like “yeah ok sure”

anyway we wander into rogue’s tavern and Pheen’s like “if Maya was here...she’d jump on the chandelier...and try to steal the candles...” until Maya comes back to life Phoenix  is going to comment on everything he sees and be like “if maya was here...she’d steal that...” “if maya was here...she would be destroying that by now” “i wish...i wish maya was here... to kick that person’s ass...”

wow a hot pirate lady is boss of this tavern of rogues i approve. She’s nice too. she tells luke he’s very level headed for someone so young “but what’s wrong with your friend there” and luke is like “oh don’t mind him he just saw his best friend burned alive but he’ll be fine by tomorrow that’s how long the grieving process takes im told”

Maya may be dead but that doesn’t mean Phoenix doesn’t have enough energy to insult any crappy art he sees

Nick can’t sleep he’s too depressed over Maya. BUT HE’LL BE FINE BY TOMORROW RIGHT LUKE. 

Nick decides the solution is to get grape juice get drunk “get a glass of water” at the tavern. 

okay the liquid glass is purple it is not water.

aaaaa this is suffering i care about Nick and Maya too much even this stupid crossover game is getting me

Nick: (about Luke) He seems to be....in good spirits but he just...lost someone very dear to him. I’m sure deep down he’s hurting... And Espella was nearly burned alive. And I can’t stop thinking Maya’s death was all my fault. But I...I need to be stronger. But I’m scared. I’m scared what happened to Maya will happen again. I’m the only one who can protect the two of them but it feels...hopeless.

OH NO A MUSIC BOX VERSION OF TURNABOUT SISTERS IS PLAYING WHYYYY

now Nick’s all “I CAN’T FORGIVE MYSELF” “Maya gave her life to save Espella! If only I’d been quicker she’d...she’d still be by my side..!” Nick there were like three guys on top of you it’s not a matter of being quick.

SERIOUSLY MUSIC BOX TURNABOUT SISTERS IS UNFAIR.

Luke overhears and is  all depressed too. THIS IS A FUN GAME.FUN TIMES.

It really is a good thing here because Luke is all “I’LL DO MY BEST MR. WRIGHT” and Nick’s inclination to dad any and all children who come his way distracts him from his overwhelming survivors guilt. THANK GOD FOR NICK’S DAD INSTINCTS.

Week 3 In Class

Week Three In Class Exercise

 ·      Why did you decide to come to tel aviv?

 I decided to come to Tel Aviv because my dad was born in Israel and he is the only one out of his whole family that decided to move to the states so my entire family actually lives here in Israel. Some are in Tel Aviv, a couple are in Jerusalem, some are in Rishon, Herzliya and the rest are in Hadera. When choosing a place to go abroad, I actually didn’t even consider going somewhere else when I was deciding on an abroad place. It was Tel Aviv or nowhere. I also have a lot of health issues dealing with a range of food allergies, and a lot of back problems and so I felt like I needed to be somewhere very close to family. I also thought that it would be easier for me food wise to be in a place where I could eat so many things and not have to worry about whether or not it was cooked with certan things. Israel is very well educated on the gluten epidemic and it is something I have struggled with forever so I felt comfortable here. I also feel very safe and very at home in Israel so Tel was a no brainer. 

·      How would you describe your relationship to tel aviv?

  Not to sound cliché but I feel like in a way I am engaged to Tel. I am not living here, but I also have been here so many times and feel so connected. Having family here has given me a complete advantage in feeling at home here. I feel so fortunate and lucky to have an Israeli parent and instill all the beauty of Israel in me. I am extremely close to Tel Aviv. I couldn’t imagine my life without it. See, this is the longest time I have ever spent in Israel completely on my own, especially in Tel Aviv. My grandparets live full time in Hadera and so I never really got to experience tel aviv to its core on my own, but now being here I feel like my relationship to Israel has evolved and I have such a deeper love for the place than I ever have before.

·      What is your favorite place intel aviv so far and why?

·      My favorite place in tel aviv is the beach. There is something about starting your day at the beach, enjoying the sunshine, some wine and food, and then staying there until sunset. Israel has some of the most intriguing and beautiful sunsets and it is so calming to sit and have a glass of wine and watch the sun go down. I also feel like it brings us together. There is nothing better than sitting on the beach with my friends that I have made here and just relaxing and having a good time.

·      What is your least favorite place in tel aviv so far and why?

·      I think Yafo is my least favorite. I have been to Yafo many times before in my life and for some reason I just never had a love for it. As close as it is to Tel Aviv, I just don't feel as warm and comforted there as I am in Tel Aviv itself. Besides the restaurants, I feel like there isn't much to do in that area and I would rather go to Neve Tzedek or Sorona if I am going to mainly do things in Tel Aviv

·      What is your favorite Israeli coin and why?

·      My favorite Israeli coin is the 10 shek coin because in America I literally hate coins. I lose them, I throw them out, or I throw them in tip jars. But here its so different, if I find any coin anywhere, I feel like a rich bitch. Even a 1 shek coin, I feel so cool to have a bunch of them but my favorite is the 10 because when im in a cab, or on a bus, or leaving tip, its intriguing to me to leave a coin that it worth so much and having a lot of them just means I have a lot of money at that point.

What is one song ( does not have to be Israeli) that you keep listening to and why?

In America, as well as here, I usually only listen to Israeli music. I grew up only listening to Israeli songs and I sing in Hebrew so I am very well educated on many artists from here and many different songs and genres. If I saw some of the artists that I listen to in Israel I honestly would be so strastruck and wouldn’t know what to do. I listen to a lot of Sarit Hadad, Eyal Golan, Shlomi Shabbat, Subliminal, Omer Adam, Moshe Peretz, and Maya Buskila. I listen to Keshelev Boche pretty much every day, and Aba Gadol both by Sarit Hadad. My Spotify playlist is basically all Hebrew so there isn't just one I keep listening to, its en entire playlist of different songs and different artists that I grew up listening to and some new ones.

·      What do you most hope to learn during this time in tel aviv?

·      I went through a rough patch in a relationship before coming abroad here. It took everything out of me and emotionally drained me. I needed to come to Israel at that point. I felt like I was trapped doing the same old thing over and over, going to the same places, eating at the same places, seeing the same people and I just needed a quick change in environment. I needed to be in my home away from home, my happy place. I came here wanting to learn more about myself. I wanted to learn kind of who I am, why I am the way that I am and kind of who I was as a person. I felt like at home, at my university I was suffocating and drowning in who I’m supposed to be rather than who I am when really I wasn’t even sure. I wanted to become more independent, which thus far I believe I have. Being here completely alone and traveling the world basically alone gave me a new found independent feeling about myself. I wanted to become more mature which I also believe I have in seeing that I do most things on my own and I can advocate for myself. I have never booked a plane flight completely alone before, I have never done a lot of things by myself before and I think through doing those things here, I have become more independent and more mature. I also just wanted to grow more as a person. I hope to keep growing on my own, becoming more independent, more mature and just being able to asses the quality of life here and everywhere and be happy with everything I have in my life. Before, I used to make the biggest deals out of the smallest things and I feel like after being here, people are so relaxed and they go with the flow so it makes me stop and think, why can't I be like that? Over the last 3 months, that has turned around dramatically. I am the most chill person now, I let things slide past me and don't make a big deal out of them and in return, I have lived such happy fulfilled days here. I hope to keep learning more ticks about myself and finding positive ways to turn them around. 

·      What advice do you have for others who leave home and or travel aborad?

·      First off, GO TO TEL AVIV ABROAD. Second, the only advice I have is really think about all the things that you want to achieve going abroad. Don’t go because “it’s the cool thing to do if youre jewish at a big 10 school”. Do it because youre intrigued by the place you choose, and you wanna grow and be more independent and because you wanna dive yourself into a new culture and to make another place your own. Go abroad and leave home because you wanna expereicne the world, travel new places, meet new people, try new foods, just become an all around better person. Youll thank me in the long run.

·      Deccribe an event that has happened since you arrived in tel aviv that you think you will never forget

·      An event that has happened since I have arrived in tel aviv that I will never forget would have to be Purim. I have never been able to be here for purim and this year I was able to get the full up front experience with going to different clubs and events that we were dressed up and going to Marshmallo and the Lake dibur party with all of my friends and my family that was around here. I did a Shabbat dinner with my family and then went straight out to party and it was really an amazing experience and I don’t think ill ever forget purim here.

·      Write your own question

·      BONUS*:

·      What will be the hardest part about leaving abroad in tel aviv?

·      I think that the most difficult part about me leaving tel aviv abroad is leaving a home. This has always been my home. The students that are abroad here have either never been here or have only been here on birthright and have two American parents. I am 50% Israeli, I have Israeli blood and I have been here 13 times and have always considered this my home. I think being here for this long was a gift and dream come true and so I think that leaving the environment here and my family, and the culture and the food and the parties and the beaches will take its toll in the end. I am afraid of the last day of my program. I know now how I think I will be saying goodbye to my favorite place, and although I know ill be back again in just a few short months, I don’t think that I will be able to fully accept that my time here is over. The quality of life is so drastically different to that of America. The people are nicer here, the food is better here, the atmosphere it friendlier and warmer and everywhere you go feels like family. You cant go up to a friends door or strangers door in America and be welcomed with such warm open arms like you can here. I feel lik everyone is welcomed no matter where you go and treated like more than a friend but family and I think I will miss that the most. I have a ton of family here and a ton of cousins but my first cousins are still young. They know I live in America but they don’t understand the concept of time yet. They know I am here and everyday they ask that I come over to their house and I think when I leave, they wont understand how long ill be gone. They are 6 and 2 and a half and it breaks my heart to know I wont get to physically watch them continue to grow up. I just feel the happiest here and the most positive here and i feel like I'm not doing enough. A part of me wants to graduate and then live here for a year working and even IDF airforce i don't know. I am now a dual citizen here with an Israeli Passport which I should have had this entire time, but that makes me more drawn to staying here and we have 2 months left almost to the day... Leaving here will really be a struggle and I am not looking forward to it at all.

[pinksweatergettingbetter]

aight

lets ends this

-

i love that he's still trying to cheer her up with her terrible crossover idea

phoenix is such a sweetie

-

“...so we may put this dead lawyer walking out of his misery”

hear hear 

just kill me already

-

“she's now slain two high level clergymen...”

one of which was a confirmed rebel but HEY whatever ITS NOT LIEK YOU KILL THEM IN GENERAL ANYWAY

who gives a fuck this trial is janked

-

“bahlgilpo’kon hell- the realm of eternal agony”

wow eternal agony is the bottom hell??? thats like the first hell in dante’s hells; youre soft as runny shit kooraheenism.

-

“there she will suffer the endless punishment of ja’gar by the galuun of Puhlmo’ten.”

SUBTITLES PLEASE 

-

he was killed during the rite but they only found his body like two days later?!?!

what the fuck!?

...and wait a fucking second, he wasnt there when we were fucking investigating BULLSHIT

BUUULLLLLSSSHHHIIIIIIT!!!

-

two consecutive murders constitutes a serial killer??

-

every time sadmad sighs and shakes his head i lose a year of my life

-

Rayfa’s voice is so fucking unfitting; she’s got the voice of a 30 year old woman and she’s supposed to be a whiny-ass 14 year old

do these people know anything about casting??

is it really that hard to get a 14 year old to say a few lines? i was voice acting (not professionally obvs) when i was 14. i sucked, but i was doing it, and there’ve been younger kids working on real shows.

anyway 

-

welp looks like this mcfuck is using a fake name

-

“haha! the police overlooked the clergy tattoo on the back of his neck!”

Why do the Kooraheen Police suck so much ass? They can’t catch a running suspect, and apparently they’re all blind.

-

HOW DOES THE JUDGE NOT FUCKING KNOW A RELIGIOUS SYMBOL FROM HIS OWN FUCKING RELIGION?!?!?

-

[insert nahyuta eats (peach emoji)ass joke]

-

“this article is small in size but huge in importance!”

just like my d––

-

How... did this work? They did a great job of hiding that wound...

yeah not suspicious at all

-

once again the prosecution blames the detective for something they couldn’t have helped :/

GUARD YOUR ASSHOLE EMA, GUARD YOUR ASSHOLE

HOLY SHIT

INSERT REFERENCE TO ABOVE PEACH JOKE

-

loud ass clock inside a secret hideout? good one, rebels. super well done.

-

ahhhh

now that is clever. i like that

although, considering the length of that statue’s beak, he should’ve been impaled right through his body, so.....

you were close, SOJ

glad to see more clever twists though. 

-

game ruins everything with blatant hints

-

there are other cases where they can tell when two weapons have been used on the same wound

why cant they tell now?

-

stone sharp enough to cut skin??

-

your hideout is fucking death trap

good going rebels

-

youre using serial killer wrong... again

-

thats a lie, nobody likes swiss cheese

-

LAY OFF CHEESE YOU PIECE OF SHIT

ILL RIP YOUR ASS OUT

-

“what you said is total bullshit!! heres what happened; this, this this. and since I said it ,its true! without any proof!!! SO THERE”

-

phoenix: VALID POINT!

sadmad: bullshit excuse

judge: sounds legit, overruled!

-

“jeez just toss me an Axe if its that bad...”

-

“plotting your escapee from this sacred hall?”

yeah well just run out

-

“you would pin a crime upon the dead, who you know tell no tales?”

uh

did you just forget the whole

soul pool thing or

are you just stupid

-

aw baby here we go

-

stop saying 30% you dont know shit

-

oh my god

whoa whats he doing with the magatama

-

“wait... i think i saw something just now...”

what, phoenix

what did you see, hmm?

-

“the power of prayer! yes... it uh... helps you... install listening devices in your secrets base uuhhhhhh...ITS NOT WEIRD

-

“She has a way of putting me at ease...”

(weeps) my babies

-

(sigh) its the wife, get on with it

-

“long years of ascetic training have sharpened my ears”

god the training is more useful to Athena than it is Maya. this is depressing.

-

make like a mollusc and clam up??? who says that???????

-

boy you sure fuckin suck at this Mr. Inmee

-

judging by that KAAHHH Tahrust should have a deep voice, and DD had a deeper male voice blip... why aren't they using it? they've already implemented singing blips and tutting blips, did they forget about the extra deep blips?

or are those reserved for demons?

he is a ghost...

-

...how far along is behleeb anyway? either I'm blind or the sprite artist forgot to give her a baby bump.

hey yeah! she's barely pregnant! her character art shows that! so its not so much of a stretch that she could be running around killing rebels. Plus, she hasn’t been pregnant for two years...

...of course, its not her, it’s rUHEEL NAYMUH, but still. she’s not far along enough to be inconvenienced by her child. 

-

potato potahto tomahto egg salad!!

stop praying at me, nahyuta.

-

dont you fucking dare...

dont you even fucking dare

-

THEY DARED

I SWEAR TO FUCK

i swear to fuck 

so. youre gonna blame maya. for the actions. of YOUR OWN GODDESS. 

WHO’S GREAT AND POWERFUL AND MYSTICAL AND WISE AND PERFECT.... UNLESS SHE’S BEING CHANNELED BY A DIRTY FOREIGNER?

i just i cannot express how angry this makes me. it doesn’t make any fucking sense and it’s complete and utter hypocrisy. it’s even worse than before;  before they were suggesting that the person dressed as Lady Kee’ra was killing rebels in her name, if it wasn’t outright her. Now they’re suggesting it was LITERALLY HER, and remember, these people are UBER RELIGIOUS, and they still have a problem with THEIR IMMORTAL GODDESS IN THE FLESH exacting her divine punishment against people THAT ARE HARMING THEIR COMMUNITY ANYWAY???

yes, vigilantism is dangerous. but it gets a little more fucking complicated when you suggest that it’s the legit actions of an ACTUAL GODDESS.

and even if this is the corrupt government just trying to cover up deaths (which it is) why didn’t they just step in and go “Yeah, another Lady Kee’ra murder. All hail the marvellous goddesses. er diarrhoea kooraheen.”

it would be a lot easier and a lot less messy than taking a kid to court. why do they even want Maya out of the way, anyway? She didn’t know any of the rebels, and she posed no threat to their corrupt government. Yeah, Zealot’s dead, but they literally could have just hired another crazy assassin. 

Unless there’s a REAL GOOD FUCKIN REASON for all of this, I call bullshit, bullshit bULLSHIT

-

i think it’s time to let your head go and move on to another room sadmad

at the same time

-

...plus they legit just forgot their own lore.

maya can’t summon Kee’ra if she doesn’t know what she looks like.

that was so easy i didnt have to even press on statements; thats how easy that contradiction is. thats how easy it is to remember something stated five minutes ago, and how easy it is to remember how your own religion works. you fuckhats.

-

oh hey i just realized Tahrust really does call Behleeb his “lovely wife” 

aw. how nice. if only they didnt decide to scapegoat maya.

doesn't matter your intentions; you die if you scapegoat maya. you die by my blade.

-

you ok pal. is an alarm clock really the source of an evil laugh.

-

“indeed! we leave the alarm switched off at all times!”

why would you even have a clock with an alarm on it in a secret base anyway?? and how did phoenix manage to play it in the hideout if the alarm was switched off? 

-

“those distinctive taiko drums”

fuckin’ finally

ive been waiting for that stupid watch to come back for AAAGEES

of course there was a reason maya would mention traditional japanese instruments...

-

y’know it’s funny that he would even make that fuckup in the first place. if he’s a plumed punisher fan, he should know how the theme song goes. his wife was at least a big fan, meaning he’d probably have heard the opening enough times to know that Taiko drums weren’t part of it. Furthermore, if he was banking on the fact that the two themes sound similar to pass off the deception, then it was a huge mistake on his part to define the sound as Taiko drums; thats just a needless detail that could get him caught out, which it did. 

and if he just didn’t know, well... again, useless detail. always bad. always be vague if you wanna get away with shit.

-

ah... at least in death, Raheel Namer didn’t have to suffer the Plumed Punisher theme song.

-

i love that phoenix refers to the show by it’s full title. that’s adorable.

-

now what’s really confusing me is that that Photo of the fam is stated to have been taken during the Feast of whatever. Which is the same time-frame as Reely Real Name’s death. He’s alive in the photo, Behleeb is in the photo, and the Judge and his family are nowhere to be found. But all those things were huge parts of the case, and they couldn’t have eaten before or after because of the whole ‘you can only eat Ghingil for three hours on that one special day’.

am I missing something or going nuts??

that said I'm so glad i can finally present this photo. it’s been gnawing at me as much as the watch thing.

-

“trademark topknot”

-

OH PLEASE JUST LET IT END

ffjglk dlg ljlgkd   hey Tahrust do me a solid and just tell them how you died ok 

please i have a family

i have stomach ulcers

-

oh

off-brand logic 

i totally forgot that was in this game too

-

wow.

“hmm, there’s really nothing to suggest a murder other than the red water in the spring, which only Maya would see and probably not question (considering this isn’t her religion and she doesn’t fuckin know how that shit works) and said spring probably empties somewhere, since it would be swampy otherwise. let’s see... i can KILL MYSELF TO GIVE THE RED WATER A REASON FOR EXISTING or do literally anything else... WELP, BETTER FUCKIN KILL MYSELF. ALL HAIL THE REBELS!”

...well at least he saved maya from contracted a blood disease.

-

tahrust must be pissed that his death came to naught when his own rebel pals gave the secret key to a guy who sold them out in five seconds.

never gets to meet his child... never gets to see the revolution come to fruition... never gets to live happily with his family... all because he couldn’t think of any other solution to protecting that shitty hovel behind a rock.

kinda tragic.

wish i was less angry

-

“there was no weapon at the inner sanctum...”

did everyone just forget the giant bloody murder statue???

-

pohl’fuckya sadmad

-

babe... oh no... don’t give yourself up like this

thats sad

dont 

i feel the sad now

shit

-

“abbot inmee!! summon a physician at once!!’

HES DEAD

WAY TO RUIN THE MOMENT WITH UNINTENTIONAL COMEDY DUMBASS

-

“but murder sanctioned by the crown is still murder”

what’s murder sanctioned by a goddess? apparently you guys are ok with that one. oh unless it’s a goddess being channeled by a foreigner.

soerry im bitter about that one moving on now

-

he lunged at you from behind the stone slab?? nice trajectory moron

-

hang on a second he put reereenaymee’s body in the plaza before prayer time... with the dagger still in him??

HOW DID NOBODY NOTICE THE FUCKING DAGGER

-

“you need not frame the accused for your crime”

for once Sadmad says something smart

-

honestly... suicide really wasn’t the answer. even if it was to protect your wife there were,,,,, so many other options

for example, realname’s last moments, as we saw, made it look like he was killed in the Plaza of devotion. You could have so easily made it look like he was murdered there, by some rando, during the rite. The kooraheen police fucking suck at their job, so it wouldn’t matter. but no; you had to die, and blame Maya.... because she was foreign. A foreigner who came to you for guidance and shelter. 

-

STOP AGREEING WITH ME SADMAD, I DONT LIKE YOU

-

“You must use your law powers to make sure no more innocent people suffer under this shitty law!!

...like Maya did!! .......because of me!!

-

i love that the excuse is like “there’s no way she could prove it was self defence in this government...” to make it all tear-jerking and point out how horrible and corrupt their legal system is...

...and yet, if we remember Reunion and Turnabout, which also included channeling and self defence... It was EQUALLY impossible for Maya to be cleared of the crime on self-defence charges!!

pot calling the kettle black, japanifornia!

-

“lol sorry for almost getting you killed cause i couldn't think of a better plan than kill myself”

yea thanks tahrust, coo-al

-

“I ask that you look after my wife”

er she’s... going to jail... she’s... been outed as a rebel... you do get that right

-

fuck you Tahrust, you made her cry

-

“now you can watch over me from the world beyond”

he cant actually, since they retconned spirits being conscious in the afterlife. good going, capcom.

-

oh man that cutscene was goofy. except for the crying

fuck you Tahrust

-

Maya: :D hOW y'all doin?!

also according to maya Tahrust didnt leave any regrets behind which means that he totally gives no fucks that his dumbass plan endangered Maya’s life and made his wife cry. Dick.

He doesn't even regret missing the birth of his fuckin child. Ass.

-

Sadmad: I owe a debt to you, one that I will return––

Me: Eat a rotten egg.

Sadmad: Wha-–

Me: Go on, master of putrescence. Eat a whole rotten egg. Consume it shell and all. You heard me. Insert the egg into your mouth and chomp down. Times ticking, I’m waiting.

-

i forgot about the stupid butterflies

-

“So I was thinking, Nick, the legal system here is really stacked agains the defence! It’s really unfair!”

YA DONT SAY

-

listen to this happy music playing as everyone is forced to come to terms with all this sad ass shit. also it appears we just forgot about that tiny matter of the government literally putting hits out. Rayfas dad. is doing this. Nobody gonna address that?? No? Ok

-

Maya: QUIT BEINA LIL BITCH

wait what 

what is this new sprite

eurhg i dont like it put it away

thats not maya thats a husk of evil

-

wow. rayfa didnt even know why maya was here training. the bullshit continues to flow...

-

Maya: deciding what is true and what is false for your people...

the actual truth and lies, right? RIGHT? MAYA???

-

ergh this is so... corny? schlocky? it feels forced

-

“Sorry for almost getting you killed anyway VIVE LA REVOLUTION”

-

Yay! It’s vore man!! i kinda missed his stretchy face.

-

oh well that

thats just a really anticlimactic reveal of Dhurke

like tada! there he is! and he's gone! whatever; he's just been talked about in hushed whispers for the last case or w/e!

-

awww the bailiff thinks he can catch a running rebel!! so cute~

-

“The Steel Samurai vs Dhurke the Rebel!”

MAYA. THE LAST FIVE MINUTES WERE DEVOTED TO EXPLAINING THAT THE REBELS ARE THE GOOD GUYS. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM???

-

i love that they keep hammering in that “maya has stayed maya”

see guys??? dont you just feel the magic of the trilogy??? ITS THERE GUYS WE SWEAR

-

Welp, thats it for that case. Now back to America, to visit Athena and BK, and hopefully to read a more enjoyable storyline...
