It makes me sad when I look at Ace Attorney fandom stuff from 10-15 years ago and see how much more comparatively chill and accepting they were of different ships from the most popular ones back then. It wasn’t perfect or free of discourse, obviously, but at least fans could mostly get away with shipping that stuff without getting called horrible people, unlike today where the Ace Attorney fandom is determined to bully anyone who dare ship the Unacceptable Stuff™️ out of the fandom (ESPECIALLY on aatwt my goodness). I know this isn’t just me because I’ve seen even certain older fans note this and say stuff like “Wow I’ve been in the Ace Attorney fandom for years and back then there used to be so many Narumayos and ppl who shipped so-and-so in het I’m so glad these are no longer acceptable we’ve come so far” WRONG. The fandom has turned into a hivemind who think it’s acceptable to unperson others over ships and will sooner sympathize with one who harasses another over a Bad Ship than the one getting harassed because how dare they ship outside the sacred stuff. You really think it’s a good thing the AA fandom environment has gotten tyrannical about what you’re allowed to ship? Old Ace Attorney Shipping Fandom was FAR from perfect, but if your reasons for why it was bad or worse than now are “ships I dislike were allowed to exist” hoooooo boy.

AA FANDOM BE NORMAL ABOUT NARUMAYO SHIPPERS CHALLENGE FAILED!!!

[neutrallyobsessed]

why do you ship narumayo?

because rangu told me to xd

recreacion nunca paso xd

seriously tho, i love pretty much all het ships that are heavily pushed by the canon and BOY is narumayo pushed by the canon! Rangu just points it out~~ (he's a spanish let's play youtuber fyi)

i said it before and ill say it again: my fav narumayo evidence is just comparing Phoenix behavoir towards Maya with his behavoir towards Dahlia and you'll find so many similarities, even before introducing her to the story lol

The narumayo version of my last post… a kiss….

Originally the redraw was just supposed to be these 3 but I extended it. So the trio looks a bit more HD than Mia and Larry.

[sweetsncandies]

Lol sucks to be them

Most characters of the main cast of ACE attorney is either aro or ace or both in some degree and you cant change my mind

[nessa-nova]

Narumayo, Mitsumayo, Mitsumiku, Narumei / Phranziska, Cykesquill, Klavema and Justicykes shippers...

𝕴 𝖜𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚.

Y'all get so much hate for nothing. Please keep writing or drawing about your ship. Ignore the antis, they don't go outside enough. Ships are made to make us happy and nobody should take that fun away from you !

[benasabrina]

narumayo shipper? leave the fandom. actually, just kill yourself. fucking pedophile.

Hi anon! Yeah, no… I’ve been a fan of the game series since 2008. I don’t think this little message will suddenly cause me to leave.

Have an awesome day!

♤♧ Random Trucy hc drawings ♡♢

Yesterday I felt like drawing a lot, so after finishing my Kay Faraday fanart my brain thought about how funny it would be if Kay and Miles had both been trusted to baby sit Trucy, leading to me drawing a couple of child Trucy head canons.

The first hc is if course both Kay and Miles baby sitting Trucy together, I like to think Phoenix offered Miles to baby sit her (I know in canon Phoenix probably cut contact with all his friends when he lost his badge but, I love the idea of his friends taking turns watching Trucy too much to not have hc about it) and Kay insisted on joining and being a baby sitter assistant. Leading to much chaos that stressed Miles out but at least Trucy had fun lol.

I also gave Kay a braid cuz I realised I have a habit of giving AA girls shorter hair in my hc for their older designs, so I've decided to hc Kay's hair staying long but she wearing it as a braid so it doesn't get in her way as easily as a ponytail.

Than the second hc is Trucy doing a card trick with Pearl. I like to think Pearl see's Trucy's magic tricks as more impressive than spirit channelling because she's grown up around spirit channelling, so it's normal thing for her unlike magic tricks. I made the card ace of hearts because, as a kid Pearl is definitely the number one NaruMayo shipper, so she seems to like romance imo. As for why it's the ace of hearts well that's cuz... it was the easiest heart card to draw and I felt a little lazy XD

[musashi]

not a narumayo shipper but i believe in their beliefs

[tcvsfiredemon]

I think every Ace Attorney artist who doesn’t think Narumayo is the spawn of Satan should make one piece of Narumayo fan art, for two important reasons:

It’ll scare off all those weirdo antis who think hating ships is a way to stay morally pure

It’ll make me, a Narumayo shipper, happy

Just a suggestion .

Ace Attorney is a real progressive franchise considering the time it was created in, I mean like.. - Platonic relationships between a guy character and a girl character, in any other media it would've been a no-brainer to have two major characters of the opposite sex end up together and smooch, It's a byproduct of heteronormativity (and also amatonormativity). This has happened so much that even a movie scene of two characters of the opposite sex looking at eachother has a mainstream audience wondering "Are they gonna get together?". Even speaking as a Narumayo shipper I can set aside my ship-tinted glasses and see both Maya and Phoenix's relationship through a platonic lens and it's amazing. There's been multiple instances of Maya being in grave danger and Phoenix risking it all probably in the verge of crying himself too just to get her out of there and not once did the writers attempt to suggest anything between them two. Even so, Ace Attorney is the type of game to take a back seat on romance as that's not really the point of the story. So for us people playing the games, pretty much every interaction between the major characters of the game are subtle and up to interpretation (Yes, even the "Unnecessary feelings" line.). - Excellent female characters, I know that "Good Female characters" is an incredibly low bar because "Good characters" are like the bare minimum things you're supposed to have in a Good story but it was 2001 so 🤷‍♂️ I've seen this take before but Ace Attorney is a story about it's female cast, they're filled with so much richness and depth it's insane (Franziska is SO UNDERRATED in the other half of the fandom). Mia also being a Mentor for Phoenix is also great, how often do you get to see instances in stories where male characters would learn under female characters and learn under them? And look up to them? I'm pretty sure there's more points to bring up but i'm probably not qualified to mention it nor even detail it. Also Godot isn't sexist With that said, Shu Takumi is truely an enigma because how the hell did he make a game that gets so much stuff right and then at the same time have some handful of wrong stuff (the first thing i could think of is Acro from Turnabout Big top)

[playablezelda]

nothing makes me feel more insane than bridge to the turnabout wr1ghtw0rth posting (numbers bc shippers using tumblrs borked ass search dont need to see this)

i am sorry but if Anything in this fandom belongs to the narumayo club its fucking bridge to the turnabout that entire case is nothing but nick’s absolute fucking desperation to get maya back

[neutrallyobsessed]

I Ship It Out Of Spite!!!! >;3

Why don’t you ship it?/What made you ship it?

It's a lawyer x prosecutor ship. I just don't like those type of ships UmU.......... BUUUUT people fucking hate it AND its straight so I can get behind it, I can support this~~

What would have made you like it?/What are your favorite things about the ship?

If Simon quits being a prosecutor and stands entirely on Athena's side that'd be pretty nice I think :)

It may be a lawyer x prosecutor ship but it can also be a therapist x client ship and UFFFF YEAH THATS SOME GOOD SHIT RIGHT THERE MORE OF THIS MORE THISSSS!!!!! Also yeah there are some moments that are pretty sweet

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?/Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

The fanworks are really pretty and convincing I must say, I can totally see why it could works so well and ok, this isn't controversial to say in cykesquill circles but it is everywhere else and the truth of the milanese breaded meat is that

Cykesquill is just Wrightworth but straight

ok, its Narumitsu in Narumayo flavor to be precise and THAT'S why lawyer/prosecutor shippers don't like it but like, skill issue, you're weak and won't survive the winter yadda yadda~~

Cykesquill tastes like: Pinapple Pizza! You're combining the warm and salty taste with a fresh and sweet taste, quite the controversial mix, I don't like it either but I gotta say, it does have more that I like than what I dislike and the intensity of the haters will make me more lineant to have a bite if I'm hungry enough and there's nothing else to eat xd

[originalshot]

I have just read through this essay about Phoenix and Maya relationship analysis and why this pairing could be considered legitimate (with lots of evidence). So I feel incline to share this document with you. Even if you are not a shipper (I couldn't classify myself as one) I think you might gain a lot of understanding towards nick and Maya character.

Interview under the cut!

I’m KC, or you probably know me by my writer username, boo2020. I’m 32, from Canada, and have a kitty. Phoenix Wright is the love of my life.

When did you start shipping Narumayo?

In 2016, the first time I played the trilogy. Pretty sure I was already starting to like it a bit by the end of the first game, but I really started shipping it when Pearl showed up in the second game. Having an in universe shipper is great, it makes me feel like narumayo is more “valid” somehow.

What is your favourite narumayo scene?

Honestly, even though it’s kind of blink and you miss it, one of my favourites is the waitress uniform moment. The “you should quit being a spirit medium” moment. Because to me there’s no other way to interpret that other than Phoenix seeing Maya in something different, liking it, and blurting out his first thought, which happens to sound almost flirty.

Share a headcanon?

The reason Pearl calls Phoenix Maya’s “special someone” is because Maya went home after the first game and couldn’t stop talking to Pearl about Phoenix and how great he is. I like to think she told Pearl that Phoenix was “special” at some point, and Pearl took that and ran with it.
