#it’s giving Phoenix no trucy a little bit ngl

[noodles-and-tea]

Haha he said the thing-!!!

[mutxnts]

ace attorney ask meme, 7 17 and or 15?

7. Favourite Design?

ngl i always thought godot's design was really cool! also phoenix's redesign after he gets his badge back is *chefs kiss* skjlfgdkjlsfgd although i'm not a big fan of the color of the waistcoat he has, i will say it has slowly grown on me. OH omg how could i forget, i also really love phoenix's 7yg design!! it's soooo good and representative of some of the feelings i think he keeps bottled up during that period

17. Case with the best cast?

hmmm, is it cheap to say bridge to the turnabout bc it brings back most of the characters from the trilogy for one final case? i also really liked turnabout for tomorrow from aa5! which again i guess is bringing characters back but kljdsfgkjdfg i really liked aura and simon's backstory

15. Random headcanon you can share?

man where do i start i have so many jkdsfgjkgdf while i'm thinking about beanix, i will say that i think he does have a drinking problem after he loses his badge. i know the games only really hinted at this and didn't explicitly say it, but the subtext is there, and i think it's something he would 100% turn to as a way of self-medicating after losing his badge. it's nice and all to think that miles and some of his friends would be there in the days immediately after trying to comfort him, but realistically i don't think miles would rent a private jet to fly out and visit him for this so soon after doing it when he thought phoenix died falling from the burning bridge. and maya might not even hear about it for a bit bc she's now busy with being the master of kurain, and i doubt phoenix would say anything to her.

so really, i think bc he feels so alone and has so little going for him during those first couple of weeks (except for trucy of course, who we know basically saved him from spiraling even further) he would turn to something like alcohol. it definitely gets better over time and maybe he really does switch to grape juice at some point, but in my mind he definitely did struggle with alcoholism for a bit.

okay that was kind of a sad one dsjkfgjdfg so i will give you a nice funny one to close out: phoenix likes to teasingly refer to chief prosecutor sometimes! like how miles still calls him by his last name as the games go on, i think phoenix will sometimes pull out his title as a way of teasing him (especially in the context of teasing him for being all high and mighty lol)

I personally love the idea of giving pheonix an unnecessarily tragic backstory, just cus I think it would be funny.

Like sometimes I headcanon him as an orphan, mostly cus like wouldn’t it be so funny if that was just a fact about him but it never came up cus he was too busy with other people’s family drama. 

Phoenix having a sad childhood wouldn’t make much sense cus like the whole thing is that tragedy started attacking him when he was a grown man helping his friend sort out *his* sad childhood. But I can’t help but think of the comedy gold that would be the fact that Phoenix was an orphan but it never came up so none of his friends know.

Or maybe I’m just fucked up.

Hey! I'm trying to make some character playlists and I need more songs so I'm going around asking ace attorney accounts if they have any songs they associate with characters (I definitely need more for trucy so if you have any please give)

hmmm

assuming you just mean mainline stuff, i don't have much but i do definitely think of touch-tone-telephone as a 7yg phoenix song (partially bc 'i'm the (w)right one' is funny to me ngl but i also did think about it)

also as for trucy... i'm not super sure bc i generally don't think i'm super great w/ lyrics (and i still need to go through aa5 and aa6) but i was looking through and. i'll explain and it's a bit of stretch but for when she was younger. ¿Viva la Gloria? (Little Girl) by green day. "there is no place like home when you've got no place to go" and like. man she was so quick to attach herself to phoenix. that and "the traces of blood always follow you home". the rest of the song isn't really super close though imo

sorry i couldn't be more help, though if you want dgs character songs lmk because i have a lot of thoughts about kazuma
