I LOVE READING ACTUALLY I LOVE WRITERS I LOVE THEN THEY CREATE

If you are an ace attorney fan and have finished the main storyline and are waiting for the drop next year (or just dont mind spoilers i guess) you need to read 'and the tree was happy' by zombiekittiez

I love writers and their writing i hope op releases some sort of novel i hope they have and idk it yet this was FANTASTIC. Not to he that person i think this can be annoying at times but like... this is The ace attorney fanfiction, coming from someone whos been reading them since middle school i think. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY JEEZ WOW WOW WOW WOW i feel enlightened

I feel like i have ascended

I was listening to Esperanza Spalding while reading this so this feels biblical honesty

I love being reminded of why i love writing and literary works and AAAAA my heart swelled this was so good

If you're an AA fan you just have to read it its the law and for your own good

[imsosocold]

[orphetoon]

this ask is your excuse to ramble ablut jjba x ace attorney. feed us the lore

well if u insist

going to ramble under a cut bc of vague aa spoilers

ok so! gio and fugo are very phoenix and edgeworth coded but, like, several times more insane. they are probably both young prodigy lawyers bc thats a possibility in this universe

fugo is a prosecutor with a perfect record, at least until giorno comes along. giorno pulls the same kind of insane bullshit u see phoenix pull, except earlier in trials and with full confidence. fugo is convinced giorno was sent from hell to kill him

like in canon giorno follows a sense of justice but its his own sense of justice. he'll get someone acquitted if he believes that their crime was justified. world's first lawful chaotic

trish is gio's partner bc im always on that giotrish friendship agenda. she's probably more of a kay than a maya if u get what i mean.

in this crossover the og bucci team are still friends in some way shape or form, either because bucciarati is also a defense attorney (aka got the rest of them acquitted) or he has a radar for troubled individuals no matter the universe

im leaning more towards bruno just being a regular guy, tbh. i feel like the impetus for gio and fugo getting closer is bruno getting framed for a murder. fugo can't defend him, so bruno asks if he knows anyone who can and fugo is like. fuck. i Do know a guy

nara and mista are like the larry of this universe ig? not much to say on them. fugo prob gets mad at them bc they keep helping giorno out

its very funny to me if gio represented abbacchio as one of his first cases. abbacchio is all like 'i killed my partner and i deserve to go to jail for it' and giorno is just 'anyway i got you acquitted of all charges'. then abba just hates this kid for doing his job

also if the joestars are included in this au, then they're the fey equivalent. jolyne is like the heir to the clan or whatever maya is. dio is a ghost who's been haunting their family for ages. giorno takes one look at that nonsense and decides he doesn't want to deal with it

[bug-s0da]

apologies if i phrase this weirdly at all but! i fuckin LOVE the way you draw Maya Fey she's so everything to me. she looks heavier-set than Franz and others too which is also like... so so important to me as a larger lass. any artist who draws maya fey large deserves the world. godspeed. your art is adorable i love it so much have an incredible day/week/month/year/etc

HEY wow first off i so appreciate you going out of your way to write this?? i fucking LOVE drawing maya, especially in the way that i do, and it's kinda exciting to me to hear this sentiment from viewers of my art! i do this kinda thing a lot with characters i like at random because it keeps the drawing process fun and interesting for me, but there's definitely that level of self-indulgence to it as well LMAO.

i wish you and all maya fey enjoyers a good ass day ^u^ it means a lot when people express to me their enjoyment of how i depict certain characters. anyways

surprise maya

[bigtittylawyer]

[Another video is attached, presumably taken once again by Maya. The witness, Bif Wellington, looks considerably more distraught than he did in the last video, which is impressive because it hasn't been very long at all.

"Well, Mr. Wellington?" Edgeworth says, thoroughly unimpressed. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

"He deserved it!" Bif shrieks. "He's a scumbag! The world would be better off with him dead, but pardon me for thinking that the detectives would be slightly better at investigating than they were!"

Edgeworth sighs. "If you believe that slandering my subordinates will somehow earn you preferential treatment, you are sorely mistaken."

"And you!" Bif turns to face Mia, furious. "You of all people should be on my side! We both hate Grossberg!"

"That..." Mia hesitates.

"He refused to defend my brother when he needed it! I know what he did to your mother, so help me!"

Mia's hand, visible atop the defense bench, curls into a fist.

"Let me be entirely clear," Mia says. "I despise Marvin Grossberg for reasons that are not relevant to the case at hand. However, there is a very big difference between hating someone, and wanting them dead. I do not want him dead."

"Why not?!"

Mia breathes in, breathes out, and doesn't answer the question. "More importantly—my desire for justice outweighs how little I like the man. You tried to kill him. We are not on the same side, and never have been."

Bif shrieks again, tearing the scarf off of his neck and—attempting—to throw it at Mia. He does not have the upper arm strength to get it even particularly close to her, though, and so the scarf flutters rather pathetically to the floor in the middle of the courtroom instead.

He watches it fall, then—as it hits the ground—breaks down entirely and starts sobbing into the stand, repeating to himself, "I did it, but he deserved it, I did it, but he—"

"Your Honor?" Mia says, not looking at Bif. "I believe that is the case closed."

The judge nods slowly. "You're quite right, Ms. Fey... how is it that your agency always ends up with the most strange of cases?"

Mia shrugs.

Phoenix, beside her, offers up an explanation: "Because no one else is willing to take them?"

"That," Edgeworth says, "would not surprise me."

"...Which part?"

Edgeworth remains silent. So the judge lifts his gavel, and clears his throat, and brings it down.

"Well, never mind all that," the judge says. "This court finds the defendant, Gen Taranz..."

"NOT GUILTY!"

Someone throws confetti down from... somewhere. Bif Wellington is escorted out of the courtroom by the bailiff, and the camera briefly shifts to Gen, who looks like he's about to cry, before Maya whispers, "Hang on. He looks like he needs a hug and the bailiffs cannot stop me."

She passes her phone to either Maggey or Sakura—it's a toss-up which one, considering that neither of them are in possession of hands—and then dashes out of the gallery to go meet with Gen.

The video ends.]

[qualek]

PRINCESS BRIDE AU CAST LIST HERE WE GO BOYS We'll start with the easy ones first and my reasonings of why- Buttercup -> Miles Edgeworth Stubborn, prideful, rude towards 'Westley' at first, dramatic, sarcastic, smart, related to Von Karma more than anyone else (I'll explain more in the Prince Humperdnik casting). Westley/Dread Pirate Robert -> Phoenix Wright/Shelly De Killer Resourceful, bluff (just... the whole scene with the cups and the poison is a very Phoenix move), devoted, selfless, brave, witty, stubborn, could survive something that would kill everyone else out of sheer will. ---- Tell me Phoenix wouldn't be the guy to say "As you wish" with all that tenderness and devotion to a guy who is objectively a jerk. --- Okay, supporting cast now! the sillies and the goofies- Inigo Montoya -> Diego Armando/Godot I have less of a personality analysis and more of a setting that makes sense, but bare with me. First off, well, he's the most likely to want to kill Phoenix and then help him later. Secondly, they both carry physical wounds that are related to a deep loss. Thirdly, he uses Godot for the whole time until "My name is Diego Armando. You killed my true love, prepare to die." Fourthly, Mia Fey was killed by someone with a heart-shaped pendant ;) Fezzik -> Dick Gumshoe Tall, strong, dumb man. Miracle Max and Valerie -> Mystic Maya and Pearl THEY ARE SILLY AND GOOFY AND MAGIC AND PEARL WOULD 100% PUSH MAYA TO HELP FOR TRUE LOVE TELL ME IM WRONG --- Now, we get to the assholes y a y :) Prince Humperdnik -> Manfred von Karma and Franziska von Karma In this AU, Prince Humperdnik is divided into Manfred Von Karma and Franziska Von Karma. Manfred is the current king and is trying to cause a war with the nation of Khura'in, like Humperdnik in the movie. However, he does not marry Miles himself and, instead, fiances him to his daughter Franziska (which neither are particularly happy about btw). He is the one who goes on the hunt and organizes the promises, torture, wedding, etc. Franziska is less involved and is forced to remain in the castle by her father. Count Ruden -> Dahlia Hawthorne She would want Mia dead 100% and would have no qualms about hurting Phoenix. Also, she is responsible of blinding Godot in Ace Attorney and in this. The Albino -> Iris Hawthorne She would help Dahlia but doesn't have the blood-thirst that she seems to possess. Vizzini -> Damon Gant I just want him to die. Also, he laughs a lot and thinks he's much smarter than he actually is. Also, also, everyone in the crew would be against a defense attorney, so it's in theme B) --- And, finally, in the real world, the beloved. The Grandson -> Trucy Gramarye She is my beloved, my dearest girl and she deserves a good story. Also, idk why, but she sounds like she would refuse a kissing story at first and then just get into it. The Grandfather -> Magnify Gramarye He is her actual grandpa and the character has a little mystical side that Magnify most certainly has.

[cornertheculprit]

here's what i think happens to godot. his trial for misty fey's murder is held and phoenix is his attorney (as thanks for saving maya) even though godot initially wanted to represent himself (phoenix and maya guilt-tripped him into accepting phoenix as his lawyer because of the stupid ass plan that put maya in danger in the first place) just so he could argue that he deserves the death penalty because he sees no more reason for living. unfortunately for him phoenix manages to get him a reduced sentence because he's sneaky like that. so godot goes to prison and everyone starts to move on with their lives. and then phoenix gets disbarred and almost completely forgets about mia's coffee guy in his effort to pick up the pieces of his life and keep trucking on.

fast forward like ten years or so godot finally gets out of prison and thinks briefly about looking phoenix or maya up to see what's up with them but then decides against it because (insert coffee metaphor here). he starts running a coffee shop instead. weirdass murder happens in the coffee shop and he actually isn't a suspect he's a witness. guess who comes to investigate? the waa. they mention they're from the waa and godot is like Hmmm Wright Anything Agency You Say...."Wright"..... and makes the executive decision to start fucking with these kids so hard. he is somehow the world's most cooperative and uncooperative witness. the trial is a trainwreck. apollo and athena head back to the office to complain about the weird coffee guy who speaks in elaborate bullshit metaphors driving them up a wall and phoenix is just like Hmmm....I Knew A Guy Like That Once. The Trick Is To Bullshit Harder Than Him👍🏻

Ok Justice For All. This is not going to be exhaustive or comprehensive but here we go.

The first case we don't really need to cover. It's a tutorial, it achieves what it sets out to do, there's not a whole lot else. I really like the amnesia concept and while I wish more had been done with it (like being used in a regular case), I understand the mechanical service it does for a tutorial.

Our second case is solid. It was really fun to figure out exactly what happened and if you've been following my 'game posting' tag you saw exactly how much fun I had. I kind of wish we had gotten more out of Misty, but that wouldn't really work in this medium (lol get it). Obviously I love Pearly I adore her I would be her slave she deserves the world. Phoenix, stop showing her the horrors, please. I just really have to keep coming back to how fun this case was to solve. Sometimes the correct things to do mechanically make no sense to me bc I don't leap far enough with my logic, but this case I was able to do pretty easily which tells me it was very well written with the proper foreshadowing and such (and I am a sucker for properly laid ground work). I like that we get more Fey lore. I am devastated that I guesses the twist ending but I had no one to witness it. It's probably my favorite case this game.

Bigtop is a mess. We're going to ignore the Regina age problem for our sanity and pretend she's 18 bc wtf (I knew this but just now [as I was typing the end of this paragraph] connected the dots that in Japan 16 is viewed as our 18 and they just didn't localize her age). I really like Max! He's my favorite character to come out of this case and I will never let go of my wrightica/galactright ship (is there an official ship name?). He thinks Edgeworth is dead, it could happen. Also! Diversity win! The guy who murdered you is wheelchair bound! But actually I really like the concept of Acro's motivations, driven to madness and murder by grief. I like it less when we come back to Regina's canon age, like even when she's 18 Acro should still view her as a child and personally I could never hold something like that against a child. It was decidedly and accident and not even remotely her fault. It's not her fault your brother was swayed to do something idiotic by the power of boners, my guy. Also Regina is not ok. She needs help and the only one who realizes it is Moe. Everyone else is 'enabling' (that's not exactly the word I'm looking for but it's in the ballpark) her. Her own father was likely the worst offender. Moe may not be funny (I actually liked his jokes) but he is genuinely a great guy.

Our last case: Extremely well written. I went into this already knowing the outcome, how could I not. Despite this, I was so worried about Maya everything else went out the window. For a minute I actually convinced myself of the possibility that Adrian had done it (I am so sorry for everything we put you through, but it was for Maya). This case really put me in Phoenix's shoes. I'd imagine if you don't actually like Maya, this might not do for you what it did for me, but if you don't like Maya I don't know how you've managed to play all the way through the second game. Of course the good ending where you toss Engarde to the wolves (the assassin he hired) is iconic. That's what you get. Again if you've been following my 'game posting' tag you know I had strong feelings about Edgeworth through this. Most of them were due to the stress of Maya being kidnapped (I seriously got waaayyyyyy too in character during this case), but also he was smug as hell for no reason when he showed back up. He was like 'new me!' and refused to elaborate. Phoenix is not a mind reader, my guy. He won me over again so we're good. Also the dinner? At the end it literally says "I wonder if there's anything I can give him to express how I feel...?" I think we can all imagine my first thought... actually I don't trust people to put thoughts in my head, my first thought was a kiss. (You actually give the whip and Miles yet again thinks Phoenix is a mind reader, will it ever end?) I can't forget! Gummy's official stint at Wright Co! My one post about him being a Phoenix Wright weird girl was really popular and then my second (about this case) also got some notes, so clearly this is the Gumshoe content we're all looking for. (Can they please stop firing him though? He's going to end up dead on the street from starvation.) I thought it was really something how much Phoenix trusts Gumshoe. He said

The scene with Franziska and Miles at the end was sorely needed and it was fantastic. They're both growing and healing from shared trauma and it's beautiful.

Over all... I forget, is this the one people don't like out of the trilogy? I liked it. The first is obviously iconic and banger after banger, but I do like this one. Overall it's definitely worth playing and very enjoyable. (Idk bc I haven't tried it personally, but there's a post going around about ds estore emulation or something where you can play games from the ds estore for free now that it's closed, so as far as I know you can play it for free now.)

[ryutarotakedown]

Ace attorney? 001 for the ask game

[ask game link] ACE!!! ATTORNEY!!!!! okay im going with original trilogy for this because the prequels and sequels are both their own thing so [cracks knuckles]

Favorite character: oh god ive got a “no opinion” for the first damn question uhhh. im going to go with pearl because i think she is underappreciated. pearly pearls pearl fey i love you im sorry your mother sucks

Least Favorite character: mmmmm writing-wise would be terry fawles. in-game-wise would be morgan fey easily what a woman! i love hating her. one of the most chilling depictions of controlling parents ive come across ever

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): okay i can’t forget platonic ships this time. in no particular order: narumitsu, franmaya, nick & maya & pearl, iris & everyone but especially edgeworth, and. blanks. MIEGO I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT THEM

Character I find most attractive: phoenix. sorry.

Character I would marry: no one in these games is marriage material thats why i love them. okay thats not true i’d probably marry bikini

Character I would be best friends with: phoenix again. charmed by his hater swag.

A random thought: recipe for turnabout was good okay no where are you going

— i just. yes the stuff with jean sucks majorly (i went in armed with janet hsu’s trivia that he is meant to be a cis gay drag-performing guy and thus had a better experience than most people did i think) but the last turnabout was fucking spectacular. i love when phoenix straight up lies.

An unpopular opinion: crap, but that just now *was* my unpopular opinion! okay uhh. i really like how godot and iris and misty have the exact same guilt complex going on. i think if you have different opinions on the three of them you are somewhat missing the point (like yes misty did abandon her children and yes godot is mean sometimes but like. at their core. they are So Much the same and that is what destroys them and also what starts off bridge to the turnabout.)

— also i think that aa4 should have been phoenix and maya destroying the death penalty because they’ve realized that the truth is necessary yes but also punishment does not work and will never get only the imaginary perfect bad person because all aa villains are human but especially in the end with godot. and then they should deal with the ramifications of the fact that this means morgan will not be subjected to the death penalty

— OH ALSO phoenix was absolutely in the right to take pearl along to investigations in jfa 2-4. can you imagine being what, 8 years old, and your only family left in the entire world is kidnapped, and your other only family left in the entire world fucking leaves you because you’re a kid and ooh kids shouldn’t be exposed to violence ooh? i would have killed phoenix wright. i don’t care if gumshoe babysits her or she gets sent to a daycare or something i would have still killed him. she deserves to be up to date on everything she deserves to see him at his most honest

My canon OTP: miego because i mean. they Are the only canon otp. unless you allow platonic otps in which case it’s nick & maya & pearl again

Non-canon OTP: narumitsu. i am basic and proud.

Most badass character: phoenix and franziska are wrestling for that spot and franziska is winning by sheer dint of the fact that she is 18 years old and fucking Did All Of That while alone and scared and 18 years old

Pairing I am not a fan of: i respect multishipping but i cannot fucking do it for the life of me so like. pretty much anything i have not listed above. wait no lanamia’s fine. everything other than the above and lanamia

Character I feel the writers screwed up: uhhhhhhh hm. not really anyone… larry i suppose? i don’t actually think they did him that badly though, im very invested in him & pearly bonding in heavenly hall. i do also think maya should have gotten some more time to shine in bridge but that’s not a fault of her characterization.

— OH WAIT NO everyone in big top who was in that love triangle except regina. i like all of them as characters and do not want any of them to be predators thanks. I genuinely think it’d be so good if ben max and bat were all 16-18 it drives in the whole “younger than you think they are” theme with franziska

Favorite friendship: nick and maya. of course. honorable mention to larry and pearl who i think discover that they are aromantic together

[martiangirlfromtalloniv]

Maya Fey:

1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 15, 24, 25

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

Maya is so so so quirky and funny but she's also pulling a lot of weight in the emotional core of the trilogy. She's so much deeper and more interesting than I think a lot of people give her credit for.

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

She has a second stomach for steaks and a seconder stomach for sweets.

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

i want to send her to pokemon world. she deserves to have a jigglypuff.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Aurelio Voltaire - You Married a Fool

it's a song about being a goofy quirky person in public to amuse other people and spread joy and only taking off the mask and showing your real self with the few people you're closest to. which is pretty Maya to me, I think.

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

i like to think i have it in me the capacity to be a lawyer's weirdgirl.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

i think she's a little bit of a fujoshi. not like to a creepy fetishistic extent but she definitely reads magisteel doujins.

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

she uses emojis to an almost ridiculous degree which tends to really confuse people. like those copypasta memes she types like that unironically. she'll also just send an emoji of a food to nick and that's enough to tell him that she wants him to bring her that food. her top used emoji is in fact 🍔

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

i really like her with franziska. i think there's potential for an intricate web of polycular toxic yuri with a bunch of the other weirdgirls in that age range though.

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Patsy "Hellcat" Walker. She was Jen's weirdgirl for the entire 2014 She-Hulk run. Has psychic hell powers. Industrial-strength mommy issues. I think putting these two in the same room would have catastrophic consequences.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

she was my bestest friend back then and she's even more my bestest friend now. she was always up there with my faves but after voicing her in a fandub she's like, number one ace attorney character to me.

Take My Hand

Mia Fey after three years since her mother left the village that it is time to say "SCREW IT!" to her family legacy. The only problem is - she can't leave the most important person in the world to her.

Day 4 in Au-Gust Writing Challenge - Runaway!

AO3 DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3

Day 4: Runaway

-

Packing the last of their pitiful amount of possessions in sacks, she took a deep breath.

 I have to do this… it’s for my sister… it’s for me.

 Mia Fey repeated this mantra in her mind over and over as she paced the small room she and her little sister, Maya shared in Fey Manor. Maya, only being five years old, looked at her older sister with big, round eyes, biting her thumbnail as she clutched at a teddy bear to her chest with her free arm.

 “Big Sister…” Maya whispered, her voice squeaky. “Where are we going…?” she asked yet again. It was the fifth time in ten minutes she had asked it.

 It was the fifth time Mia had no answer.

 It had been three years since their mother, Misty Fey, had disappeared from Kurain Village after the channeling of Gregory Edgeworth had failed. The news got out and Misty was considered a fraud and a hack. Instead of trying to rebuild her reputation, she abandoned the village,

 And her two daughters.

 Mia was technically the next in line to become the Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique as she was eldest daughter of the Main Family - however, after seeing what it has done to her family, she wanted nothing to do with it. She saw how it made her Aunt Morgan bitter and resentful toward her sister… Morgan was older than Misty yet she was not the Master due to not having enough Spiritual power. Morgan desperately tried to have her own daughters, only for her twins not to have any power either, like herself.

 The young Mia was thrown into training at a young age, and Dahlia along with Iris were thrown in too. When it was discovered that the twins had no Spiritual power, their father divorced Morgan and took them away form the village. The last Mia had heard was that he had remarried but only kept Dahlia and forced Iris to live at Hazakura Temple with another Fey Branch family member.

 Now, Morgan’s internal body clock was ticking, but she was desperate to find another partner in order to have another daughter. She believed if she had a daughter that was stronger than Mia their family could take over…

 And I’ll let them! I don’t care! Nothing is worth my sister’s life for!

 “Big Sister…?” Maya tearfully said.

 “We’re going to be okay, Maya… I promise…!” Mia assured, crouching down to her sister’s level. “I’m going to protect you… as your big sister, I swear by it!”

 Maya threw her arms around Mia, her sniffling. “You won’t leave me like Mama?”

 “I won’t…! I never will!”

 With that, Mia grabbed Maya’s sack and tied it around the small girl’s waist. In turn, she tied her own sack around herself. It was time to leave.

 The village was dark when Mia and Maya crept out of the manor, Mia putting her finger to her lips to signal her sister to be extra quiet. Both girls knew where ever creak was with every floorboard, so it was easy to sneak out. Once outside the manor, the cool breeze ripped through both of the girls’ yukatas, causing them both to chatter their teeth.

 Crossing the boundary of the village gate, Mia felt her heart pound in her chest. She knew once she crossed the line, she would never be able to come back – it would be the same for Maya. They were both abandoning their family legacy. Did Mia have the right to make that decision for her sister?

 Mia glanced down at Maya, who was looking up at her with her large, dark blue eyes.

 No… she deserves a better life…

 Together, they both stepped over the boundary and walked down the path leaving Kurain Village.

Notes:

- A much shorter story, but then end is open to interpretation!

Miles Edgeworth: Pinky out, sippin'. Tea tastes sweeter to the sound of Phoenix's howls of frustration as his husband falls into yet ANOTHER of his perfectly constructed traps. Always composed (dom), always classy (aftercare), a l m o s t as sexy as he is broody. Secret soft spot for Maya.

Mia Fey: Boobs... Appears randomly and without warning. Shape shifter? Boobs. "You're not thinking, Wright!" *Tells you something that is very obviously a clue because the text is now pretty colors, but it's either some blindingly obvious shit you already BEEN knew before the start of the case, or absolutely useless info that does NOTHING for you because it's couched in 40 fuckin layers of subtlety. There is no in-between. These hints are never helpful. Ever.*

Larry Butz: Stinky rat boy. Dumb. A walking (staggering) human disaster. Endearing in the worst way. Childhood friend of Phoenix and Edgeworth... If you can call it that. More like an acquaintance that you know everything about. Has had many girlfriends. Has never had sex in his life.

Maya Fey: Chaos Gremlin. Hamburgers. Touch ALL THE THINGS. Soft gorl. Killer outfit. *spooky ghost noises* Calls Phoenix "Nick." Too precious for this world. Loves the rivalry between Phoenix and Edgeworth... A lot. "Why do they let you in here? You are literally a child." "SHUT UP, NICK." Phoenix's little sister (Spiritually)

Detective Dick Gumshoe: A doofy puppy. A good boy. Very loyal to Edgeworth because he is a very good doggy who deserves all the pets. I cannot stress this enough okay he is literally a fuckin human Labrador. Brain OS is Windows Vista running half a gig of RAM, powered by a potato battery. Everybody better stop being mean to him right now or I WILL cry.

Judge: Believes anything anybody tells him all the time. Should not be a justice of the peace. A complete and total pushover. Physically cannot leave his chair in the courtroom because he lives there. Proba- No, definitely into BDSM. Simps for prosecutors and probably tries to bribe them with $20 to let him suck them off under their desks. Seriously who gave him this job??

Manfred von Karma: Beethoven's asshole ghost. Eats the happiness of nearby humans and shits gold leaf. Has never sat down because he can't bear to be beneath anybody else. Snaps that break the sound barrier. Will disintegrate if his skin comes into contact with the pure tears of a unicorn. "Stop making that face." "But this is just how I look." "I know. Stop."

Lotta Hart: SCREAMING. From The South™. Sometimes cute. Other times SCREAMING. Hair! "Not" White! Power pose. Camera. Action, y'all! The South™. Doesn't do shit for free and I fucks with that honestly

Widget Anon here again!! because I did also want to send in a request ghsndshbfds,, could I ask for headcanons for Athena, Gumshoe, Maya, and Sebastian with a very emotional s/o? (totally not projecting, shhhhh) like, they just see a dog and they're like "yes, my day has been made!!!!" but at the same time if something even remotely sad happens it's just straight tears (real story, was watching spirited away and when chihiro cried in the garden I started crying too hngfhdsa)

You know what Widget Anon, I very much thank you for this because now I can project as well, I COMPLETELY get what you mean and these need to exist so thank you for giving me the opportunity to make these Headcanons exist.

Also sidenote, Gumshoe is actually one of my comfort characters at this point 😭👍 I love writing for this man so much he’s actually just so cool, he is the OG Himbo in this series and he deserves everything good in this world, istg.

🎇Athena Cykes🎇

🎇First of all, Athena Cykes can read people’s emotions plus she’s really empathetic so putting her with an S/O who is also very prone to heightened emotions would make it more likely that she would also absorb those emotions so she’s going to be very compassionate and caring towards S/O.

🎇So whether S/O is feeling absolutely overjoyed over something that they saw that day or bawling their eyes out over a film or something that inconvenienced their day, Athena is going to be right there alongside them, picking up on those emotions and responding appropriately.

🎇Athena would absolutely strive to make S/O happy, especially knowing that due to their emotional sensitivity, when they are happy they are truly at the peak of positivity. So she’d make them lunch and take them out on dates and seeing just how truly overjoyed S/O is in those moments is absolutely worth it to her. If S/O did start to cry due to this kindness, Athena would be there for them straight away. She truly cares so much about S/O.

🎇If S/O wanted to return this kindness to Athena, she too would be absolutely amazed and would be sure to make the appreciation that she feels crystal clear to S/O (although with Widget’s habit of verbally stating how Athena is feeling, she won’t have to do too much in order to make S/O know how appreciated they are).

🎇On the flip side, being prone to more heightened emotions means that when something bad happens, no matter how inconsequential it may appear to other people, it can just really get you down. So if S/O had a particularly bad day and came to Athena on the verge of tears, she’d be so worried about them and would be quick to sweep them up into a tight hug.

🎇You can bet anything that she’ll do all that she can to cheer a highly emotional S/O up, she’d make them dinner, give them a hug while under a ton of blankets on the couch and put a nice film on for them that wouldn’t make them more emotional.

🎇If someone in particular did something to intentionally upset S/O, you can bet that Athena would absolutely tear into them, and if they refused to apologise she would send them flying (hopefully not hitting any bystanders while doing so). “You want to make S/O cry?! Take this you heartless fiend! Hyahh!”

🍜Dick Gumshoe🍜

🍜This man. THIS👏 MAN👏 (Mod Miles approves of Gumshoe very much and sees him as a comfort character 😩👌) He just gets along with everybody and is a massive himbo. I love him so much.

🍜He’s also very sensitive! But he’s also ridiculously loyal to those he cares about so he’d absolutely do his darned hardest to be supportive of S/O if they were very more sensitive to their own emotions.

🍜He’d absolutely make lunches for S/O every day with whatever ingredients he can afford on his salary (it's mostly gonna be weenies and rice) which is already going to be so flattering to S/O, however, if he saved up for a couple of months in order to splurge out on some other ingredients then he can probably expect to have S/O be so overwhelmingly happy when they meet up after work that evening. He can expect a massive hug and an even bigger bunch of “thank you”s!

🍜Another thing! Gumshoe is training Missile the dog so at some point he’d introduce S/O to Missile and it would absolutely make their day. They’d be so overjoyed to see this little Shiba Inu and would be sure to give him a ton of scratches. Fully expect to find S/O buying Samurai dogs especially for him.

🍜Of course though, S/O could be made particularly upset by something, maybe they happened to read something that upset them or watched a film or TV show that turned out to be really sad so they’d naturally go to Gumshoe in a pile of tears, unable to fully put into words what has exactly caused them to just start crying. They can expect to be pulled into a big Gumshoe hug. He looks like the type who’d be really good at giving hugs, he’d even take off his lucky detective coat and drape it over their shoulders if he thought it might cheer them up a little bit. “It’s okay pal! Don’t cry, we can talk about it later if you want to.”

🍜If somebody did something that hurt S/O’s feelings, he’d be pretty angry. He’d ask them to apologise (“pal”) and if they refused to then he’d get pretty frustrated with them and give them a firm talking to, he doesn’t care who it was that made S/O cry, he’s going to teach them a lesson! (If the person who upset S/O happened to be Miles Edgeworth then he can probably say goodbye to that month’s salary 😭😳)

🔮Maya Fey🔮

🔮Maya is pretty childish! Although she’s also someone who is fiercely loyal and who looks out for the people that she cares about. So she is the perfect person who will indulge S/O in positive situations and comfort them when something has upset them.

🔮Maya will do her darned hardest to make S/O happy every time she sees them so S/O will soon come to associate Maya with free serotonin. She’ll take them out for food (Ramen? Burgers? Ramen burgers? All of the above? Who cares!) and will be sure to indulge in their interests, although if S/O is also a massive Steel Samurai fan then fully expect Steel Samurai marathon dates at every opportunity.

🔮S/O might come to her one day and just tell her just how much she makes their day better and start sniffling because she’s just so lovely all of the time. Maya will be sure to pull S/O into a tight hug and tell them that she doesn’t plan on stopping because making them happy is her favourite thing to do. She might lightly tease them for being emotional but she loves every moment of it.

🔮It would be an absolute shock to Maya if S/O came to her while really distressed and upset about something. She’d be quick to drop whatever she was doing and just pull S/O in for a hug before taking them off somewhere private to talk about things. Whether someone had upset them or something that in retrospect might be a silly inconvenience had happened, she’ll reassure them the best that she can.

🔮Anyone that upsets her S/O will soon find themselves facing the wrath of the angry 5ft spirit medium and they will regret every minute of it. She knows when and where to pull her punches in terms of dissing people and she won’t spare anything for anyone who hurts S/O’s feelings 😤

🔮She’ll tell S/O that if they ever want to talk to someone who has passed on, she’ll channel their spirit any time (and for free 👀) if they just want to say their last goodbyes, S/O would definitely appreciate this if they had a family member that they never got to say goodbye to.

🔮Overall, Maya is just a supportive girlfriend who will do all she can to make S/O happy and will be there for them whenever they need her. Maya is best wife 😤👌

🎵Sebastian Debeste🎵

🎵Let’s not lie, Sebastian is probably just as emotional and sensitive as S/O. Their relationship is going to be built on the two of them building each other up and supporting each other at their high and low points. (Mod Miles approves of this relationship)

🎵He’ll do his darned best to impress S/O, he’d probably show off in front of them but would still be very surprised when S/O finds what he does to be really interesting. He’d appreciate that they don’t treat him like an idiot as well.

🎵Sebastian and S/O might go on a walk one day after work and if they see a dog while they are walking, the two of them are gonna be clinging to each other while trying not to freak out about how cute it is. They’d definitely talk about it all the way home and he’d just be in awe at how kind and gentle they are.

🎵If S/O and Sebastian watched a sad film, S/O might find themselves getting upset, so Sebastian would be quick in pulling them into a secure embrace and reassuring them (although if S/O looks closely, they’ll see tears brimming in his eyes too). He might start another activity with them as a distraction if it’ll help and then once both of them are feeling less upset, they’d probably talk about their feelings for a while.

🎵If somebody willingly upset S/O, Sebastian would probably get so frustrated himself! Seeing S/O being upset would be enough to trigger Sebastian’s own sensitive emotions, he’d run up to S/O bawling his eyes out just as much as they are while wrapping them up into a hug. If they happened to be sitting on a couch, he’d have them sitting on his lap while he cries into their shoulder and tells them that it’ll be okay.

🎵The next day, Sebastian would probably go to Miles Edgeworth to get his advice and support to go after whoever made S/O upset. He might not have the courage to do it on his own but if the person that he looks up to was there too, he’d feel a lot more courageous. “Hey! You-you leave S/O alone, I won’t let you hurt them. Apologise right now!”
