Headcanons of how would (Ace Attorney) Phoenix Wright, (The Great Ace Attorney) Kazuma Asogi, Herlock Sholmes, Barok van Zieks, and Ryunosuke Naruhodo react if their shy crush is shocked that they also wanted to confess their feelings?

Since Phoenix is in this quest and in another one on exactly the same topic, I decided to write it in another request, and leave the characters from The Great Ace Attorney in this request

Headcanons Simultaneous confessed feelings

⚖️ Ryunosuke Naruhodo x Reader 🏹

Ryunosuke was not the kind of person who understood well that he was in love with, but he could understand when he was in love with himself. That's how he knew he was in love with you. You helped him with his work as a lawyer as much as you could, you were a quiet and shy person and he liked you so much. Sometimes Ryunosuke thought how great it would be if you could spend your life together. And one day he decided that he had to tell you about his feelings, if only to stop keeping it a secret

He saw you blushing next to him, but he was sure that it was just a coincidence, and that he wasn't the reason for it. But when Ryunosuke told you that he was in love with you, he saw how much you blushed. It was obvious that you were worried, and that worry only intensified his own. It wasn't so easy to admit your feelings. But all his worries went away when you confusedly told him that his feelings were mutual

When you said you didn't expect this, he looked at you blankly. You blushed more and said that you wanted to confess your feelings to him, but you did not expect that he had the same feelings for you and that he would be the first to tell you about them. From your words, Ryunosuke felt himself blushing more and more

You were both in love, and both were embarrassed about it, some more and some less, but you were together and Ryunosuke never regretted telling you about his feelings. He felt that next to you he was not afraid of what could await him in the dim future

⚖️ Kazuma Asogi x Reader 🗡

Kazuma was one of the most determined people you've ever met. Confident, determined, both at work and in everyday life. You, in turn, were a quiet and shy person who blushed and was easily embarrassed. You were the one Kazuma fell in love with. He wanted to tell you about his feelings and, soon after he realized his feelings, he decided to do it

You saw the determination with which he asked you for a conversation. Kazuma took your palms in his and told you about the feelings he had for you. His eyes were burning with determination and he saw you blush. You looked like you expected anything but his confession. But you squeezed his hands a little and quietly said that you also had feelings for him, even though you didn't expect him to be in love with you and decide to admit it

When he asked did you really not see at all that he was in love with you, you shook your head in embarrassment and honestly told him that you planned to tell him about your feelings and mentally prepared for rejection, but you could not even think that he was not only in love with you, but also confesses to you the first in feelings

For him, your feelings were a jewel that he was going to keep and cherish. Kazuma was even ready to fight if there was any threat to your relationship or to you in particular

⚖️ Barok van Zieks x Reader 🍷

Barok devoted a lot of time to his work. You helped him many times, and he was grateful to you, even if you just made him tea or brought him a snack, knowing that Barok could devote too much time to work. You were a kind, quiet and shy person who he liked so much and whom he tried his best not to scare

He was thinking about his confession to you, trying to find the right words. When he was ready for such an important step, he asked you to stay and soon told you how he felt about you. Barok saw a blush bloom on your cheeks and your eyes widened in shock. He wasn't sure what exactly he should have expected, but when you confusedly mumbled that you were in love with him too

What was more unexpected was that you told him that you didn't expect him to confess to you. You honestly told him that you wanted to confess to him for a long time, but did not dare, but you could not even think that he was also in love with you. It came as a huge surprise to you

Barok knew that you were someone he could always trust. He sincerely loved you and hoped that your lives would be connected further. Next to you, he remembered the days when his brother was still alive and he was friendly and sociable again, but only with you, with the person he loved and trusted

🔎Herlock Sholmes x Reader 🎻

Herlock was someone who could not immediately trust others, but you were someone who became more than just a friend for him. He fell in love with you and always tried to be sincere with you, to make you smile, although more often than not, your smile was accompanied by an embarrassed blush. It seemed sweet to him, and his feelings for you only grew stronger until he decided to tell you about them

He asked you to stay for dinner, knowing that it would be difficult for you to refuse, and while you helped him with the cooking, he told you how he felt about you. Out of surprise, you dropped the wooden spatula with which you were stirring the cooking food. Herlock saw how much you were embarrassed and at the same time shocked by his words, but instead of refusing, he heard your timid, reciprocal confession

It was only after your dinner that you told him that you had been trying for a long time to find the courage to tell him about your feelings. You were sure that he did not have romantic feelings for you, and because of this it was difficult for you to decide to confess, but not only was he in love with you, he also confessed first. It was shocking to you, but you were genuinely happy about it

Herlock hoped that one day you would become part of his family, and then there would already be three of you there, you, him and Iris. He would be happy if you were with him for as long as your lives would allow both of you

Some random TGAA headcanons (SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES UNDER THE READ MORE):

Maria never skips leg day.

Before Klints death, Barok was a socially awkward nerd who was fascinated by other cultures.

Kazuma puts on another headband after the game.

Kazuma and Gina move into Baker Street after Runo and Susie moved out.

Barok's laugh is very deep and terrifying to those not used to it.

Gina has muscles. Not massive ones, but in TGAA 1 they're enough to get by in the streets and she starts working out properly after the series to get ones that seem normal under her coat but when she rolls her sleeves up they're VERY noticeable.

Iris' goes through a grumpy phase when she becomes a teenager. It feels like sunshine retuens when she moves past it.

The only thing more terrifying than Susato is Ryunosuke's grandparents.

The shovel talks for whomever might want to date Iris are enough to send a lesser person off the edge.

The entire cast get BUSY during the 30s and 40s.

kazuma crushing on ryunosuke's crush

pairing: kazuma asogi x gn!reader

tags: mention of ryunosuke naruhodo, tiny bit of angst (over 'stealing' ryunosuke's crush), friends to lovers

ryunosuke had been crushing and admiring you from afar for months now, without ever making a move! and frankly, kazuma couldn't bear it anymore

ryunosuke always talked about you to him, but never found the courage to approach you. so, kazuma decided to make the first move and become your friend, so he could introduce you to ryunosuke!

approaching you was easy for kazuma, as he wasn't as nervous as ryunosuke would've been. and it quickly turned out that you were super easy to talk to!

kazuma genuinely began to enjoy your company and soon a friendship began to blossom between the two of you

things should've stopped there. kazuma should've just introduced you to ryunosuke and moved on. but things didn't go according to plan

before kazuma had realized what happened, he had fallen in love with you! that realization caught him off guard, but there was no denying it: he loved you!

despite knowing about ryunosuke's feelings for you and despite his plan, kazuma didn't want to forget about you!

he never wanted to hurt ryunosuke, but he knew that he needed to ask you out! and since ryunosuke didn't have the courage to make a move on you, kazuma would ask you out instead!

[alynnl]

I’ve been imagining Ryunosuke’s adventures as a Japanese lawyer immediately after the end of TGAAC 2-5.

After solving The Professor case, Ryunosuke Naruhodo returns to Japan with Susato and Yujin Mikotoba.

Once they’re back home, Ryunosuke wastes no time establishing his own legal practice, and starts to take on cases. Susato works closely with him as a judicial assistant.

Yujin Mikotoba continues to be a mentor figure, and keeps up with his own work as a doctor and professor at Yumei University.

Satoru Hosonaga often ends up investigating the same cases as Ryunosuke and Susato.

Rei Membami and Soseki Natsume both end up on the witness stand again at least once.

After winning an easy first case against Prosecutor Auchi following his homecoming, the next prosecutor Ryunosuke faces off against has a name that makes his blood run cold: Jigoku.

At first he thought it was Seishiro Jigoku, and that he apparently escaped from British prison. But Yujin Mikotoba corrects him: this isn’t Seishiro, but his successor and eldest son, Hideki Jigoku.

Hideki is a relatively new prosecutor, but he nevertheless shows incredible resolve during his time in court. He isn’t the type to give up easily. Hideki stands in court in spite of his father's crimes and dark clouds over his family name. He hopes to rise above that, and prove his tireless studies in law were worth it.

The majority of Ryunosuke’s first year as a Japanese lawyer is spent clashing with Hideki in the courtroom, as they both make a name for themselves.

Outside of court, the rivals are civil to one another, sharing tea together occasionally.

Hideki and Hosonaga develop a more typical Ace Attorney prosecutor - detective relationship. At first they start off on the wrong foot, but grow to trust one another as investigative partners.

Ryunosuke has been keeping in touch with Kazuma and the others in Britain through letters. He treasures any replies and gifts he receives.

Towards the end of his first year back in Japan (about a year after his final case in Great Britain), Ryunosuke becomes embroiled in a plot involving the Yakuza. Among other shady dealings, they have been trying to rig his and Hideki’s trials behind the scenes.

Around the same time, Kazuma has sent a letter that he will be making his way back to Japan to spend the New Year with Ryunosuke, Susato and Yujin.

Two months after the letter is sent, Yujin Mikotoba is framed for a murder that happens at Yumei University. Ryunosuke and Susato practically leap at the first opportunity to represent him.

Hideki leads the prosecution and must weigh his feelings about his father's former friend against his duty as a man of the law. In the end he chooses to let the evidence and testimony decide Mikotoba's fate, and he puts his emotions aside. Unlike his father, he chooses to keep his integrity.

During one of the investigations related to the case, Hideki is shot in his right shoulder by a member of the Yakuza. Hosonaga manages to get him to a hospital in time to save his life, but he’s unable to continue with the trial.

Ryunosuke and Susato visit Hideki in the hospital, and they are handed key evidence that the prosecutor had to guard with his life. Leaving the rest to them is all he can do now.

There is uncertainty as to who will be on the prosecution side in Hideki Jigoku's place.

The trial begins, and a familiar voice says “The prosecution is ready, Your Excellency.”

Kazuma Asogi had decided to take the case. Him and Ryunosuke begin their promised “duel of words.” Yujin Mikotoba has full faith in their abilities to uncover the truth and save his life.

Kazuma appears calmer than the last time he faced Ryunosuke in court. Now that he's freed from the burden of the Professor case, he hopes to prevent history repeating with Mikotoba, who he still owes a lot to. It's clear he learned a lot as a prosecutor and a person from the year he spent studying under Van Zieks.

Ryunosuke, Susato and Kazuma hear enough testimony and present enough evidence to find the true culprit and have Yujin Mikotoba declared Not Guilty. The case is solved and they are all free to spend time together.

The four of them make sure to pay Hideki a visit because they couldn’t have made this outcome happen without his efforts in the investigation.

On New Year's Eve, everyone stops by Yujin Mikotoba's house to celebrate. Yujin has a few photographs taken to commemorate the occasion.

A few months later, Herlock Sholmes gets a letter from his old partner, along with the photograph of his friends from the east (along with a new face among them.) Sholmes shows this to Iris and insists they gather Gina, Toby, and Van Zieks to take a photograph of their own.

Some (Slightly Yujin-Centric) Head Canons About the Original Study Exchange Characters

Warning!! The Great Ace Attorney 2 SPOILERS AHEAD

The grandma that raises Susato for the first five years is Ayame's mom. Yujin does NOT talk to his parents. but he does feel the need to quietly send them money out in the country. Helps him connect to Jigoku whose family straight up disowned him (the devil connotation in his name is too easy to not make his fam super puritanical and decide he isn't good enough for them), Genshin who lowkey wishes he could disown his parents but kinda needs them around cause of the whole teen dad thing and his wife being VERY poor so basically having no assets to bring to the table besides bastard child (made her a factory worker cause industrial revolution was growing at the time, women who needed to work were basically prostitutes or factory workers and the working conditions of both were shit, and Kazuma's speech in the original Japanese game is actually about the need to improve factory conditions and liberate those workers which was super progressive at the time so I think his mother being a former worker who had to go back to support them after Genshin died and that basically killing her would 100% radicalize him; sadly Japanese society would not have looked at her very kindly at the time, but I love her), and Kazuma's mom whose only family has been dead since she was younger than Kazuma was (helps him understand her better when Yujin comes back from England to discover his parents died while he was away and no one told him cause they just weren't in actual contact at all)

Ayame has a good relationship with her parents. They're great. They run the dojo Yujin and Jigoku (and later Susato) learn/practice judo at. It's pretty close to the university so they both decide to go their for it, which is how they meet Yujin ALSO meets Ayame there cause her mom insists he can come by to practice any time he wants cause his studies end up giving him weird hours of free time. So he decides to go in the middle of the night one time and Ayame Susato-Takedown style attacks him assuming he's an intruder. Her mom clarifies and leaves them alone. They talk and spar til they lose track of time and it's morning. blah blah love story. Her parents are also very supportive of women's rights so they encourage Ayame to have a career. So she's an writer under pen name (Yujn starts doing his journals in England in her honor since she was always jotting down notes like that to use later). Yujin's parents were much more conservative but he never really understood the point of their beliefs. Naturally questioned everything thank god.

Ayame is the one who applied for Yujin to do the study tour. He was too down on himself and sure they wouldn't pick him but she knows he's brilliant and forges the application for him (he doesn't know until he's accepted.) The plan was her pen name would take a trip to Britain independent of the study tour so she could keep writing and they could go together. Plans changed a little when they found out she was pregnant (they were already married but weren't really planning a timeline on when to have kids.) They decided to continue their careers in Japan instead so they could start their family and maybe they'll check England out when Susato's a little older. They were still cycling through candidates for the third spot when Tragedy Strikes, so Genshin and Seishoro convince them to let Yujin back on and depart the tour sooner than intended Yujin is not doing well in the wake of Ayame's death. He's truly trying his best but he can barely take care of himself and Susato cries anytime he holds her or feeds her or changes her to the point he's worried she might be colic before they actually knew what that was (really she can just sense how stressed he is and the looming despair of everyone around her grieving Ayame.) Thankfully Ayame's parents are there to help and she seems to do so much better with them that in his grief and dysfunction, he decides the best thing he can do for her is literally just to support her financially cause he's going to fuck her up if he keeps going like this. And making as much money as he can means going where pathology is the hottest right now, which the exchange trip is his ticket too

Seishoro and Genshin are friends from childhood (yeah I like Brutus by the Buttress for them too much not to be). Yujin and Genshin meet each other through Seishoro, Yujin meets Kazuma's mom through Genshin, and she meets Ayame through Yujin Important to me that they're ALL good friends, especially Yujin and Kazuma's mom cause I feel that relationship is very important in the year after he returns to Japan. It's what ultimately leads to him unofficially adopting Kazuma after her death.

Like mentioned above, she has to return to her factory job which she was thankfully safe from after becoming pregnant with Kazuma because Genshin's family has money from before the samurai abolition that could support them. But they never really liked her. They always thought she derailed Genshin's bright future (even though he's still very successful while he's alive) and they don't want much to do with Kazuma until he's of age because he's not much use to them as a child. So now it's up to her to support them. The options are pretty much the same after half a decade, so back to the factory she goes which escalates her painful but manageable health problems into life threatening ones. And she is VERY insistent that Kazuma does not get a job to try to take the load off. She had to start working as a child and it wrecked her body. She will not let the same happen to her son. He's a smart boy who is going to stay in school and focus on his grades and he'll find a good job to keep him out of this position even if it kills her. She will not let this horrible system take him the way it took her.

She also doesn't like Genshin's family. She saw the toll they took on him and she doesn't want that for Kazuma, especially since they only care about him when he's useful to them. Yujin is also trying to help her but he's already supporting himself, Susato, and Ayame's parents on the salary of a fresh out of school pathologist (he tries to continue on the coroner route but after watching Kazuma's mom fade away in front of him, unable to do anything for her, he loses his stomach for it and switches to research and academia.) He can only stretch it so much. So she begs him, her only real friend anymore (Jigoku gets distant from both of them during this time cause of killing Genshin. He warms back up to Yujin after a while but at that point it's too late for Kazuma's mom), to at least Kazuma in if something happens to her. The Asogis don't have his best interests at heart and he can't survive on his own. She doesn't ask him to go as far as he does, she mostly pleads with him to give him enough financial support to stay in school and out of the workforce. Yujin sees that he desperately needs emotional support too and decides to take him in as his own (he tries his best to respect that he's not his father but he can't help but come to see Kazuma like his son. Kazuma has very complicated feelings about the Mikotobas and loves them like family too but he creates an intentional wall between them (that Yujin can see but Susato doesn't until he comes back "from the dead" in the second game) because he feels like he's betraying his parents by loving anyone else like he loved them. Ryunosuke helps break that down a little and seeing him, Susato, Iris, and Sholmes kinda beats into his head the idea of found family, so he tries to let everyone in more post-canon.

I know the game literally only talks about Kazuma's dad. I'm pretty sure they don't even mention his mom once, maybe just to say the grief killed her or something. but I think Kazuma was 100% a mama's boy and at the time, losing her hit him much harder than losing his dad (tho it doesn't help that it stacked on top of that death) Genshin had already been gone for so many years that Kazuma was a little more detached from him than he'd care to admit. and they never had a chance to reconnect like Susato and Yujin did. vs. losing his mom who has been around the entire time and is literally killing herself trying to give him the best life she can I think over time, he hyperfixated on Genshin's death being the thing that "ruined his life," or at least tore his family apart and focuses on clearing his name as something tangible he can do to try to get justice since there's nothing he can do to bring either of them back, but even less he can do to avenge his mom

I think Genshin and his wife loved each other but they got married more out of circumstance than anything else. They provided an escape for each other when they met and all things being equal, they would've moved on with someone else and possibly never seen each other again. They came to appreciate each other more raising Kazuma together and their bond definitely strengthen over their shared love and devotion for him, but when they were on other sides of the world, they sort of fell out of "love". Don't get me wrong, they still very much care about each other. Genshin's death definitely devastates her and causes her health to deteriorate much quicker. I just think they both naturally feel an inclination to explore other relationships while apart but don't because they feel too guilty "cheating" on each other despite knowing on some level they both feel this way. Plus societal expectations of married couples still weighs on them. Even though a lot of people considered it no big deal for men to cheat, Genshin still struggled with acting on any of his feelings while in England (COUGH COUGH KLINT) I also kinda think they were both gay and were drawn to each other because of that but struggled with identifying their feelings because of comphet and their platonic affection for each other.

On the other hand, I think Klint and Lady B also started as a marriage of convenience. They're both the eldest living family members of their families and though Klint has Barok, they're both far from the perfect picture of nobility. So getting married is a good way to improve their social standing and preserve wealth and their family images. Plus they find each other charming enough to strike up a partnership and Barok likes her which is hard cause a sweetheart but kinda judgmental about the complexities of nobility and the way it shapes people (he's also very scandalized at the idea of marrying for anything short of love cause he's always been a hopeless romantic and that's what their parents did. He tries to get Genshin to side with him who then has to awkwardly explain he had a shotgun wedding.) Anyway all that to say they like each other enough but don't have any romantic feelings in the beginning. But I think they slowly fall in love over the next few years until they're genuinely very enamored with each other and want to start a family together. Which is a teensy bit of a struggle so the best day of Klint's life ends up coinciding with the worst. (His wife is pregnant and they're going to have a child together :D! But also Stronghart caught onto him taking justice into his own hands and blackmailed him into killing his mentor, who acted as a stand-in father after the death of his parents :/) 10. I think Yujin, Genshin, and Jigoku remain very close in London and get together quite often but they each have their own little corners of London they sort of keep to themselves. Great friends who are all somewhat acquainted with each other but only barely. Like at a party Klint hosts and wants to invite Genshin's friends and some Judiciary and Sholmes crashes it. Yujin has Sholmes and Mrs. Hudson (I can't fucking believe we never see or talk to her in-game by the way. They only mention her like once). Jigoku has Stronghart and some other dudes who are definitely kickstarting his villain arc. And Genshin has Klint and Lady B and Barok. and then they all kinda share Gregson cause he intersects with all their bullshit (much to his dismay) and Sholmes to an extent cause he NEEDS to know everything he can about Yujin's terrible taste in friends and he breaks into crime scenes and courthouses and offices a LOT

I don't know how accurate this is to ACD Watson, but: Yujin definitely thinks he's a good judge of character but he's actually shit cause he always wants to see the best in people So Sholmes 100% feels the need to investigate everyone in his circle to make sure he hasn't accidentally befriended Jack the Ripper. None of them are serial killers (yet) but he's keeping his eye on all of them.

OKAY NOW I'M DONE

Sorry for the stream of consciousness dump there but I wanted to get all my thoughts out about these freaks with barely any screentime besides Sholmes and Yujin.

And Would you believe I have all this head canon lore about Kazuma's mom/Mrs. Asogi but I STILL can't come up with a good name for her?? Same for Lady B but at least I have something to refer to her as besides Iris's mom or Klint's wife.

Asoryuu headcanons

Kazuma fell first, 100%. He spent literally months badly flirting with Ryunosuke but it just went over Ryunosuke’s head every time. Eventually, Kazuma was just like “alright, clearly this dude doesn’t like men or me specifically or something so imma just have to stop” only for Ryunosuke to confess extremely nervously to him and being like “I know you probably don’t feel the same” and Kazuma was a combo of being ready to slap him for his obliviousness and also kiss him from being so happy

They absolutely shared Kazuma’s bed on that steam ship and cuddled

Just the embodiment of two super smart people’s intelligence cancelling out when they’re near each other

In a modern au, Kazuma is a metal head and every time he listens to his music, Ryunosuke doesn’t know whether to be attracted to him more or deeply scared. Usually it’s both

The night Ryunosuke left to go back to Japan, he snuck out and went to Kazuma and told him that while they have so much they need to talk about properly, he really doesn’t want to think about any of that right now. He just wants them to have one last night together before he leaves since he doesn’t know when they’ll see each other again. Kazuma feels the same and they spend the night just in Kazuma’s bed, wrapped in each others arms, kissing and talking and cuddling etc and for the first time in so long, it feels like old times

For my fellow humans who love angst, Ryunosuke ends up marrying a woman years later, Kazuma attending their wedding as Ryunosuke’s best man. Kazuma however never marries, despite having women show interest in him. Even as years go by though, they’re both still in love with each other- kinda like that relationship many have when they’re young and never really get over even as they move on with their lives

Dear Thephoenixxm,

For your information, my dress is based off of Prosecutor Asogi and I have taken inspiration from my father with the breast pocket to put his glasses and a long tail to the trench coat.

True, my original suit was based off of my mentor's, but I began realizing that the von Karma way wasn't my... motif so to speak. I went back to the basics of where those teachings originated from and my mentor told me to look into the first Karuma's Prosecution mentor, Kazuma Asogi.

(Even Mr. von Karma had his moments.)

Am I really thinking of making a playlist for Ichinose?

...Yeah, I am. I'm deciding to be devious about it.

[thelocalmuffin]

13, 16, 21 for kazuma asogi!

13. Favorite Friendship Kazuma Has? Well, Ryunosuke of course. Though I also am a fan of him and Iris becoming buddies.

16. Childhood HC? His mother taught him to knit when she was doing it to pass the time and tried to process her grief in a healthy way. He knits when he's alone during the difficult nights when he can't sleep.

21. When do you think they were at their happiest? I'm going with the canon route and probably say when his dad was around. Though I'd like to think post-canon when he reunites when everyone he does eventually become happy once more and starts having more good days than bad.

Go ahead and ask!

[rmmgy-blog]

Much as the Ace Attorney thing being for Phoenix would be funny, we all know he's gay, specifically for Edgeworth. My asexual practitioner of the law headcanon is Kazuma Ashogi. He seems the type of guy to go "I don't need sex, I need JUSTICE".

There are three kinds of LGBT headcanons:

Actual queer coding / metaphors ("Nimona is trans because her creator made her as a way to express his feelings as a trans person")

Vibes ("Link is genderless because I said so")

It's funny ("Phoenix Wright is asexual because he's the Ace Attorney")

poly relationship with kazuma & ryunosuke

pairing: ryunosuke naruhodo x gn!reader x kazuma asogi

tags: wholesome fluff, established polyamorous relationship, set after the events of tgaac, kazuma is a tease, jealous!kazuma

while kazuma and ryunosuke are perfectly fine with sharing and show no signs of jealousy towards one another, their courtroom rivalry sometimes shows a bit in your relationship!

the two boys are dating each other as well, but oftentimes they are trying to playfully one up one another, when it comes to impressing you!

kazuma likes to tease ryunosuke a lot, which is how those little duels usually start. and you always have to break it up, by letting both boys know that you love them equally, no matter who wins their little quarrel!

ryunosuke is equally affectionate with both you and kazuma, while kazuma is often more affectionate towards you! his affection towards ryunosuke is always much more playful than gentle, as it is with you!

kazuma is the one in your relationship who's wearing the pants! he wants the two of you to rely on him to help shoulder your burdens and protect you at all times!

due to how confident kazuma is, he has no problems with taking the initiative either! if he wants to kiss you, he'll simply ask for a kiss or surprise you with one!

ryunosuke tries to be more like kazuma and make the first move too, but he's always a blushing and flustered mess when he attempts to surprise you with a kiss or hug!

despite kazuma and ryunosuke's little rivalry in court, the two of them trust you and each other to ask for help with their cases! even if kazuma and ryunosuke are working on opposite sides on the same case, the two of them care more about finding out the truth instead of winning!

most of your dates with the two boys are squeezed in between helping them with paperwork at the office! if you manage to find some free time, the three of you drink some tea together and enjoy some cake!

depending on how busy they are, only one of the boys might have time for you! but neither of them is jealous when they're excluded from couple activities due to work!

while they aren't jealous when it comes to each other, kazuma can get quite jealous when anyone else tries to hit on you! his feelings get the better of him in that moment and he'll get a bit possessive, always demanding a kiss afterwards, to reassure himself that you still love him!

Giant spoilers for TGAA 2 but I gave the main cast's dead moms names, faces, and Court Record profiles. And I wrote up some details on my headcanons and sprite edit process.

All ages listed are my headcanons for how old they were when they died (which like. Yikes.)

These are all edited from existing sprites/official artwork with veeeery minimal actual hand drawing in case anybody thinks I suddenly got really good at imitating Nuri's style lmao.

Sumire Asogi (34)

Same age as Genshin, who also does not have a canon age for whatever reason. I assume he's the same age as Yujin, Jigoku, and Klint though, making him 33 when he dies. Kazuma's mother canonically dies a year after. This also makes Kazuma's parents both concerningly 19 when he was born??? I don't think the devs thought too hard about that at the time but I'm choosing to included in my hcs lmao

"Sumire" is a joke name. Sumire means violet and there are FOUR whole Sherlock Holmes characters named Violet, which is probably the most common female name in the books. As a nice coincidence, violets represent honesty in hanakotoba, tying into the truth theme

Sumire actually has no Kazuma in her face! She's a Courtney Sithe recolor with Kazuma's bangs. I did stare at Kazuma's prosecutor portrait to try and nudge their eyes to be more similar though

Ayame Mikotoba (25)

She's 1-2 years younger than Yujin

Obviously this is just Susato squished around lol. If I were to do it again I'd alter her hairline, I think Susato got that from Yujin

My main aim was to make her look like Susato's tearful smile sprite. Any time I see that sprite I think "this is what her mother must've looked like."

Lillian van Zieks (30)

She's 3 years younger than Klint

LADY BASKERVILLE MY BELOVED. Her married name ofc. I think I pulled "Lillian" from "Lilith" because.... vibes I guess. I also hc Klint calling her Lily so she also gets to have a flower name, and so Iris' father shares her nickname habit.

Lily's eyes are hazel because iirc, the Baskervilles in the book all/mostly have hazel eyes and Iris has her father's eyes.

This was the hardest one to make despite the canon image of her. Her base was Tusspells, herself, and obviously, Iris.

Also here's each woman with her husband and child for the sake of comparison:

Sword gays showdown preliminaries

Propaganda:

For Kazuma Asogi:

ok so he’s not CANONICALLY queer but it’s ace attorney. so… he does, however, canonically have a katana! a sword so integral to the plot it gives me shivers just thinking about it. the sword also has a name, it’s karuma (translates roughly to karma) and it gets passed onto the main character, ryunosuke naruhodo (who he calls partner), after kazuma (spoiler alert) dies in case 1-2. except (SUPER spoiler alert!) he isn’t dead! he comes back in case 2-3 and would you look at that he has ANOTHER SWORD, a more european sword (cause he ended up in england after his amnesia brain said he REALLY had to go to england). once he gets his memories back, ryunosuke gives karuma back to him and proceeds to use it to destroy the wax figure of his dead presumed serial killer dad (long story), and now he has, you guessed it, TWO SWORDS! for the next two cases he wears both swords at his sides, and also he broke the tip off of karuma attempting to murder someone (he didn’t actually murder anyone but still) and then turns out karuma’s hilt has the REAL serial killer’s will in it. very VERY important sword. in the end, kazuma gives karuma back to ryunosuke which is really symbolic but that’s besides the point, and they cross swords and it’s a whole big thing. 10/10 gay sword guy.

For Raiden:

Man catches knives with his heels and uses a sword to cut through robots 20 times his size

He's such a tragic character! Raised to be a super soldier from birth and is constantly being exploited by the government. As for the lgbt part him and his rival in the latest game he's in have so much tension it's unreal (gay). I headcanon him as trans too because he has a feminine figure, his voice gets more masculine as the series goes on (testosterone) and his entire body gets replaced with cybernetics (trans allegory...)

For Claudine Saijou:

Fights with a longsword! Should be number 1 for this line alone: “For heroes, there are trials. For saints, there are temptations. For me, there is you”, said to def not her girl crush but rival btw (stream Revue of Soul) Vote for my disaster theatre kid its what she deserves!

Her gay levels are off the charts. She has a homoerotic rivalry with another classmate (Maya Tendo/Tendou Maya) that is integral to her character, as she was always first until she met Maya. She’s also half-French, but that’ll be important later. When she’s looking at pictures of Maya stretching (to study her form of course) and another character asks her what she’s looking at, she panics, blushes, and says none of your business. Her and Maya have a heartfelt conversation while stretching with Claudine’s face pressed into Maya’s chest (between her stomach and breasts). Some art from a magazine has Maya pushing Claudine into a deep stretch, but it looks like something a lot different (Claudine blushing doesn’t help. Also I realized that there’s a lot of gay stuff related to stretching with these two).

During a two on two duel (I know it’s not a duel), they fight together. Not only that, but at one point they hold hands and take a pose typical of romantic partners in dancing. For no reason. They just pause and do it to show off. They aren’t even fighting. Anyways, when they lose, Claudine starts crying, not because she lost, but because Maya lost. So, of course, Maya starts speaking to her in French, with one of the things she says being “You’re cute even when you cry, my Claudine.” All of this is stuff that’s happened in the series (except the magazine thing).

Now for the gay stuff in the movie. Their duel with each other is so dense with sapphic undertones they can hardly be called undertones. For starters, the song that accompanies this revue is called “A Beautiful Person, or Perhaps it is.” While this title is incomplete, the director states that he wanted the watcher to fill it in and this removed the end of the original title. That title is “A Beautiful Person, or Perhaps it is a Love Song.” The duel is framed as a fight between a hero (Maya) and a devil (Claudine). Maya is in an outfit reminiscent of Renaissance Italy and Claudine is in a suit. Thus, Maya signs a contract giving her soul over to Claudine, as is the case with marriage. With her own blood, in the shape of Position Zero (an important symbol in the show), which happens to look like a T, for Tendou. After a few minutes of fighting, Maya disappears and monologues, appearing in a white dress. This means that Maya has signed her soul over to Claudine, and they are now both wearing a white dress and suit. Not beating the gay marriage allegations. Maya finished her monologue with “For heroes, there are trials. For saints, there are temptations. For me, there is a devil.” They continue to fight, Maya proclaiming herself emotionless and empty. Maya then cuts the medallion from Claudine’s chest (they wear medallions and you lose the duel if it gets cut off).

Claudine falls. Maya attempts to claim victory by stabbing her sword into Position Zero, which is then covered by steel doors. Claudine sits up and reveals she has another medallion in her mouth, which she does by sticking out her tongue in a uhhhh. Anyways, after a bit of back and forth, Claudine tells Maya that she’s full of arrogance and pride and envy and longing. She then says that “No matter how many times I die, I will revive! Tendou Maya! To beat you, my rival, into submission!” She then makes her stage entrance, taking Maya’s usual entrance speech and mocking it. She also says “I fill myself with exploding passion, now, and bash it into your heart!” After some talking, Maya makes her stage entrance, taking Claudine’s usual entrance speech and mocking it. Up until now, they have been playing characters, but still letting their own emotions shine through. Now, they are entirely themselves.

They begin to fight again, running downs white aisle before clashing swords, with Maya saying “Such an ugly, emotion drenched appearance-“ and is cut off by Claudine, who says “Show me more, Tendou Maya! Right now, you’re the cutest you’ve ever been!” To which Maya responds “I’m always cute!”  The song starts up again (duels are accompanied by songs), with Maya singing “With a grin of deception I’ll tear this piece of cloth.” Deception in Japanese is mayakashi, a reference to Maya’s name. Maya then sings “I want to show you my feelings becoming dyed in black.” Black is Kuro in Japanese. Claudine, in Katakana, is Kurodine, with her nickname being Kuro, so that line could also be interpreted “I want to show you my feelings becoming dyed in you.” Claudine then sings “Only me, always, forever,” before they sing in unison “You only need to look at me,” as they lock blades. Some fighting happens and they’re falling through the sky, holding onto each others clothes and Claudine says “Only I can make you lay everything bare!” To which Maya responds “I’ll expose my everything, on the stage!” Claudine shoots back with “There’s a partner you can expose everything to, on the stage!” At this point, there’s a short time with independent vocals for Maya and Claudine in addition to their talking. Maya has been singing “If I’m on the stage, if I’m in front of you,” for the last two lines of dialogue. Claudine sings “Be it ugly or beautiful,” as Maya sings “I will expose, anything and everything, all of me, all of me.” As this happens, Maya is saying “We love the stage,” which is continued by Claudine saying “And we can’t part from the stage!” Maya calls them both “Pathetic clowns!” To which Claudine corrects “No, rivals!” Maya says “If you’re there, I have to strive higher!” Claudine says “You make me even more beautiful! Maya!” Maya then yells “Claudine!” Claudine yells “For heroes, there are trials!” Maya continues “For saints, there are temptations!” Then, as one, their swords crossed, faces inches from each other, yell “For me, there is you!” Over top of this, their voices sing a line in unison: “Forever and ever, I’d like to cross swords with you.”

Claudine’s sword stabs through the contract, through the Position Zero in blood, which may be Maya’s family name, and Maya says as an aside “Saijou Claudine… You are beautiful.” Claudine cuts the medallion from Maya’s chest, finally beating her rival.
