Water

Cw: Drowning

He couldn't breathe. That's the first thing he noticed. The second thing was that his clothes were wet. His muscles burned and his lungs ached.

What was happening? Where was he?

And why was it so cold?

Villain didn't dare open his eyes. He didn't want to know where he was.

The last thing he remembered was his warm, dry home. A small apartment at the edge of the city.

So how and why was he here? He didn't recall leaving, especially considering the mess he was in. Why would he leave his hiding place and risk getting captured?

Or maybe... had they found him? No, impossible.

He had been so careful. He had made sure no one followed him home that night.

Villain cracked an eye open. As the water touched his eye, he shut it again. No, bad idea.

Faintly, behind the water somewhere, he heard footsteps. And muffled voices.

His hand touched cold glass, and he pushed blindly, trying to do at least something. Somehow get out. Get away from here.

Loud laughs sounded behind the glass.

Unfamiliar voices.

He banged his fist against the glass, trying to crack his eyes open but not being able to hold them open long enough to see something. Just light, blurred colors.

Villains head hurt. His lungs hurt. He needed air, but couldn't get any.

His mouth opened on its own. He was going to drown. There was water in his mouth.

But it stopped there. He breathed the water in, but the only thing entering his lungs was air. His eyes shot open.

White walls all around. He was still in the tank, his hand still touching the glass.

He wasn't drowning.

Villain tried to turn, pushing himself off the glass walls and slamming into the opposite wall.

Two people, one slightly taller than the other stood directly infront of the tank, behind them three figures in white coats.

Supervillains loud laugh echoed through the room when she saw villains face.

The person next to her, superhero, just stared with a blank expression.

Villain pushed himself back, his back hitting the glass.

They had found him.

The Shark (Karshon), an old GL villain who seems more suited to Aquaman, having a rewritten origin story.. an improvement upon the character.

Less "sharks are scary and evil" and more like.. focusing further on the whole pollution thing that is stated in his origin and debut comic.

Also.. why not play around with the species of shark he is?

if I had my way I'd go with my favorite shark, Goblin Shark.

I like to think of this new version of Karshon started off being encountered by and fighting off against the Green Lantern, but after some time of retreating back into the sea, he comes across Atlantis. He takes a form somewhere between human and shark to try his best to blend in with the aquatic humanoids, learning about them to see if they're a friend or foe to him. This leads into him becoming an enemy of Aquaman and ultimately becoming one of Aquaman's recurring villains within his rogues gallery.

Karshon is his real name from when he was a shark. That's the only thing he has from that time aside from his knowledge and memories. other sharks have names, too. After all, sharks can recognize familiar members of their kind.

He may not be a super genius intellect type, but he is capable of solving problems and puzzles quite well. He's quite adaptive and fast at learning, this adds to the level of a threat he poses. Although, he mostly just wants to be left alone.

As a Goblin Shark, he isn't necessarily the fastest at moving.. but his bite? Watch out for that! It can be nasty.

I think.. as a villain.. he's both curious and wanting to learn about this terrifying new world, indulge in the new expanse of potential food for him to eat without having to worry about not getting enough like he did back in the deep. He does have a strong distaste for pollution and the harm that the humans do to the ocean. After all, it's those radioactive polluted chemicals that found their way down to the depths where he swam and changed him.

He does not think himself as a higher being of evolution nor does he possess psychic powers like Gorilla Grodd, and he isn't like King Shark by being the powerful descendant of a god. He was just a normal shark swimming peacefully and leisurely in the sea when those chemicals rained down and engulfed him. Some may say he got the short end of the stick, but he's not a creature to be underestimated. He still puts up a good fight and knows enough of what he's doing.

Altered abilities:

Can change his appearance from human to shark and somewhere in-between at will. He figures this out sometime after his inception/evolution on max speed. This ability allows him to blend in both on land and in the sea. it also makes him a bit of a threat this way to those he deems a threat to himself and what he deems his territory.

Human level intellect. nothing really special here, but he does learn human speech (english) and even atlantean. it is when he is able to speak and communicate with other people that he reveals his name. He remembers his life as a shark and all he knew. he still has those instincts, but he lacks a full understanding on the human world. the world above the waves. (despite learning the language, he is a man of few words and likes his solitude)

Impressive strength and a terrifying bite, even in his humanoid forms. Regardless of the evolution, his body still retains some elements of his original shark form; rows of sharp teeth, electroreception, and heightened senses. Can likely also jut out his jaw like the Goblin Shark he original is. his heightened senses and electroreception makes him quite the foe when provoked. As well, due to his life originally as a shark, he is highly skilled at swimming and traversing any water.

the opening lines of the shadow of the erdtree trailer remind me a LOT of a certain quote from another game:

and with this in mind, i really hope that the direction they go with miquella is less like the manipulative griffith-esque archetype some people are theorizing, and more like N’s characterization in pokemon black and white: someone very intelligent and powerful but naïve, whose honest attempts at creating a better world might bring about more destruction in the end.

About Eddie Fender and why he was a dick to Miles

I first started this post in response to something, but it got so long I decided against inflicting it on OP. This is very long and very meandering and the form is kinda weird, as a warning. It's also kinda spoilery for Ace Attorney Investigations 2.

When we first start playing AAI2 and are introduced to "Ace Attorney Eddie Fender," it's true he doesn't come across as very likeable. The first thing he says to Miles is basically "Oh, look! Here comes Manfred von Karma," and the game happens three years after the truth about DL-6 came out. That's incredibly low, very petty, cruel even. He does start off as a dick to Miles, unfair on him until he gradually realises he isn't as bad as he thought, and as he starts warming up to Miles we start warming up to him.

But also... I kind of get it.

Like... Imagine you're 19 years old. Your boss just died in a sudden and shocking murder. You inherit the law firm even though you haven't even passed the bar yet. You're grieving as you keep working hard to become an attorney, now without the guidance you used to have. Maybe you even blame yourself a little - after all, you worked on that case too, you were likely there for the trial, you left both Edgeworths to take that elevator by themselves. Had things played out differently you would have been there, too.

Did you think of your boss's son, in the middle of this whirlwind? Probably a little, but you're a 19 year-old law student. You're nowhere near a suitable place in your life to even think about fostering a kid. Besides, Gregory Edgeworth was your boss. Someone you greatly admired and whose death you will never stop mourning, but still just your boss.

(It's unclear how well Eddie knew Miles. Enough for Miles to recognise him instantly, but certainly not as close as Miles and Phoenix were.)

You take it on yourself to continue the work he left behind, to help the clients Gregory can no longer help. For ten years you try your best to uphold the reputation and the values of his firm and name, and every day you witness a little more how corrupt the system really is.

Then, one day, you start hearing about this young new prosecuting upstart. Passed the bar at 20 and already has the legal world in his pocket. Rumours of forged evidence, backstreet deals, manipulated witnesses. Not only is that just like the whole lot of them, the tactics you became so familiar with over the years - no, it sounds painfully, specifically familiar to that one long, drawn-out case, the last one you worked with Gregory. It turns out the young prodigy is the student and protégé of Mr. Perfection himself, the man who never lost a case in thirty-five years, even though he should have lost against you ten years ago if the world was even a little fair. You would hate the boy for that alone, but on top of that he's also the son of the mentor you lost, the son of the man you both used to admire so very much.

And that hurts. That none of Gregory's legacy lived on in his son. That this sweet, kind boy, who Gregory always used to worry about not making any friends, became a parody of all they used to despise.

Perhaps you even get to see him. You catch a glance of him in the courthouse corridor as he passes you by without so much as a nod to acknowledge you, or you stumble upon a picture in the same paper that struck Phoenix Wright so deeply. You see that damn suit. That damn smirk. That damn waggly finger. His features may have something of Gregory but everything in him screams von Karma. He's spent a decade trying to shape himself into him, and it shows.

Prosecutors are a privileged bunch, and the Edgeworth kid grew up into a downright brat. Entitled. Rude. Arrogant. Obsessed with his fucking perfect record. You hear he goes around cutting the salaries of detectives that make a tenth of what he does and insulting the opposing counsel in court. He became the worst of them all, taught by the worst of them all, he is everything Gregory fought against and everything you hate.

Why would you want to associate with that? Why would you ever think he is not perfectly fine where he is, with his cushy office and his cushy sports car and his doubtlessly cushy pay?

A couple years later you hear he's been arrested for murder. Maybe you follow the trial, maybe you only see the headlines after everything, after DL-6 is finally solved. Honestly, that's when you start having a reason to reach out. When, had you been less embittered and jaded by the thanklessness of your job, you might have wondered what it was like for him to grow up in the shadow of his father's murderer. You might have been stricken with compassion and horror at the thought of fifteen years spent in crushing guilt, believing he killed the father he used to love so much. You might have empathised, despite your contempt for von Karma, with how his ward might feel to be so cruelly betrayed, thrice over, by the man who raised him since he was nine, who taught him everything before throwing him away like a piece of used junk.

But you still think of how he was like a son to von Karma, of how he got to spend fifteen years in wealth, following a shiny, easy, corrupt new path while you grieved and desperately tried to keep the pieces of your shared dream together. You think of how uneasy Gregory seemed with the idea of von Karma as a teacher, you think of how eager Miles seemed to follow in his footsteps and how much Gregory would have hated it. You think of the many defendants this boy callously condemned with barely a thought, just like his mentor. Of how he may not have his father's blood on his hands, but with the way he acts you'd think he had his murderer's in his veins. And you really, really don't want to deal with any of that.

You think, somewhat unfairly, that maybe Miles ought to have seen it coming. It's not like it's much of a secret that Manfred von Karma is a piece of shit, and good riddance to him.

Three years later, you actually have to interact with him again. It's been 18 years since you last saw him in his father's shadow, looking at him like he hung the stars in the sky, back when everything was so simple for the three of you. It's been 3 years since the truth about his oh-so-esteemed mentor was uncovered. He still wears the cravat. His brow is still furrowed, his eyes are still piercing.

But slowly, begrudgingly, you talk to him. You start realising he actually has some honour to him. That he's not really the Demon Prosecutor the papers made him out to be, that maybe you misjudged him a little bit, in you grief-stricken, angry bitterness. That maybe he can be trusted, after all, with his father's legacy.

Why would you think he ever needed saving?

the sister of giulia cecchettin, the 105th victim of feminicide in italy just this year, is being target by incels and regular misogynists alike and called "a witch" because she is speaking out against the systemic killing of women as a direct result of the patriarchy. Because she allegedly likes metal music and she is enraged that her sister was killed by her ex, she is called a witch and a satanist. Men are spreading theories on twitter that she casted a spell on him because he was Such A Nice Guy and couldnt possibly have killed giulia of his own free will. Because she went on tv to state very clearly that he was Not a monster, because monstrosity implies a deviation from the norm, and unfortunately killing women in italy IS the norm. People are being so incredibly vile towards a grieving young woman, claiming shes doing it just for clout, after she and her family have been living for weeks with cameras forced into their home. Im so fucking pissed.

I dont know how many times ive seen the phrase "better in jail than in a grave" and its so fucking scary and disheartening that women have to resort to this, to want to teach this to their own daughters (which they should btw. Better in jail than in a grave) because every person in power refuses to do a single thing about it. other than blabbering about chemical castration or death penalty, of course. which, of course, would solve jack shit and it would probably actually just make men even more violent
