you should watch the anime and yes it is very ugly. whenever it's adapting a case it's kind of dull imo but whenever it goes off script and adds stuff it's quite fun. s2 is generally better both aesthetically and in terms of the fun bonus stuff

okay I'll add it to my watchlist then! tbh I was not aware the anime went off script at all so I didn't see the point in watching it when i could replay the same game a 5th time lol

Bro I NEED to know what the hell jdate stands for because I have to assume it’s not the Jewish online dating website

DFGH EVERYONE SAYS THAT

it stands for "john dies at the end" which is a book series by david wong (aka jason pargin), its like a horror comedy series, its one of my favourites :']

[mrv3000]

when the creator of a work agrees with my interpretation of it, the author's intent is the most important aspect of its meaning and i will quote their interviews endlessly to score points online. when the creator doesn't agree with my interpretation then they are merely a useful idiot in the accidental creation of great works for which they can take no credit whatsoever

This is a post to keep track of my favorite jayvik fanficion since my ao3 bookmarks are a mess and hopefully get some quality recs as well!

Contingency Planning by @oodlyenough murdered me and i liked it so much its concerning.

A New Promise by @dis-embarks did the same, thank you 🥲

@oodlyenough replied to your post:

"if [x] is your favourite character you're not looking for fluff" lmao I know a lot of people will disagree judging by the volumes of fluff and fix-its and "no [trauma] AU"s I see but man do I agree personally. I think stories that are 'cruel' to characters are stories that neglect them pretty much… bad stuff happening to a character isn't really 'cruel' if it's like, meaningful and in service of an arc and theme and that sort of thing.

YES YES YES

like not to cite the deep magic or w/e but I remember so many circular arguments about, like, Buffy for example, where some people were like "well Joss is a misogynist because bad things happen to Buffy." and like. no, Joss is a misogynist because bad things happened to Cordelia because he was pissed at Charisma Carpenter for getting pregnant; bad things happening to Buffy is the architecture of the show because she is the protagonist. like girl I'm sorry your first time resulted in your true love turning evil, that sucks, but. this is a metaphor and you're living in a story.

and you're SO right about how under-utilizing or ignoring characters being the true cruelty. not respecting them enough to let them play the role they were built for is maddening

20 questions for fic writers

tagged by @starrybouquet

1. how many works do you have on Ao3? 58

2. what's your total Ao3 word count? 187,625

3. what fandoms do you write for? Arrested Development, Doctor Who, Good Omens, Iron Man, Sherlock, Star Wars, Stargate SG-1 (fics not on AO3: Alias, Gilmore Girls, Labyrinth, The 10th Kingdom)

4. what are your top five fics by kudos?

Cautiously Un-Pessimistic (Star Wars)

Dear Force (Star Wars)

Your Jedi is in Another Castle (Star Wars)

Jedi Ex Machina (Star Wars)

The Jedi is a Lie (Star Wars)

All of these are recent fics, probably because a lot of my stuff is older and was mainly written on other sites (LiveJournal, email lists, and even my own website), and when I moved them to AO3 I backdated them. Of course Star Wars is a BIG fandom so they still might have had the most kudos.

5. do you respond to comments? I try!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably the 200 word fic Finally (Star Wars) where Vader's having a hot girl summer thinking about torturing Obi-Wan.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Most everything I write is light and fluffy, but maybe Inertia (Doctor Who) because it was an actual fix-it fic. The Doomsday episode of Doctor Who aired, I had a breakdown... bon appetit.

8. Do you get hate on fics? A very mild comment here or there, but I write fairly mild fic.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Revelation: I've done a few anonymous prompt fills on kink memes in the past. But I don't have anything on AO3.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I wrote a crossover between The 10th Kingdom and Labyrinth a billion years ago. But generally I don't.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I have vague memories of Duck Soup (SG-1) being stolen, which was spotted by people almost immediately because there aren't many stories out there that revolve around a farting duck. 🦆

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! It's nifty!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yup! With @go-ldy and @shinyopals and also josephides on LiveJournal!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Um...probably Doctor/Rose, although I'm not much into it these days. They gave me serotonin for years.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Uh.

16. What are your writing strengths? I think I'm fairly good at parroting characters' speaking patterns. It goes a long way if the dialog sounds like something the characters would say.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Plot. I'd love to be able to churn out a 100k fic.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Two languages in one head? No one can live at that speed!

19. First fandom you wrote for? My very first was The 10th Kingdom, where I wrote 2 whole fics that were posted on an email list. I think I've still got them somewhere, although they're not on AO3.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? Right now it's Dear Force (Star Wars) because its completely self-indulgent and exactly my sense of humor.

Tagging people who I've spotted on my dash with fic in the recent past so I know they actually write fanfic. I KNOW I'm forgetting people. I'm sorry!! If you want to do it, go for it!

Summary:

“That just proves how lucky you are, to be with us now,” she decided. “We von Karmas are the best in the world. You can try and learn.” Rude and ungrateful as ever, Miles didn’t answer.

bad idea by @bakerstreetbaggins. Achilles x Patroclus (E, complete). Patroclus has just gotten engaged to Briseis. The only problem is he's been cheating her with Achilles for two years and Achilles doesn't know how he's going to survive this.

you're a walking disaster, and yet- by @johaerys-writes. Achilles x Patroclus (T, ongoing). Pat and Achilles growing up in modern rural Greece. They both have issues, but now they have each other.

All's Fair in Love and War by soisserieux. Achilles x Patroclus (T, ongoing). Seven years after Patroclus softly-ghosted Achilles, Achilles is back and determined to rekindle that friendship now that they are in college.

Feral and Stray by littlelamblittlelamb. Achilles x Patroclus (E, complete). In rural Australia in the 1950s, Achilles and Patroclus have a complicated-and frankly fucked up-relationship. Mind the content warnings on this one.

Expiration Date by @oodlyenough. Edgeworth x Wright (T, complete). Larry drags a reluctant Phoenix out to toast the dearly departed Edgeworth. Phoenix does not have a good time.

The very wonderful @mashumaru tagged me in this word cloud thing which caused me to open up my poor neglected WIP, which Google docs "helpfully" informed me that I haven't opened since June 4th. *Marge Simpson Don't Look At Me Meme*

Anyway, when I am eventually able to write again (hopefully sooner rather than later) it's going to be an Emotional Support Raven story.

Thanks for the tag, friend! This was fun!

20 fic questions

tagged by @oodlyenough to do this!! thank you <33

1. how many works do you have on Ao3?

i have 22 works posted!

2. what's your total ao3 word count?

42,292 words! that actually really surprises me bc all of the things i write are one shots, and they aren't particularly long. i thought this number would be farrrrrr lower

3. what fandoms do you write for?

currently only ace attorney!

4. what are your top five fics by kudos?

a cold night in ikea (xmen) good old days (ace attorney) lost (xmen) sunsets over genosha (xmen) hot, sticky, sweet (ace attorney)

5. do you respond to comments?

yes!!!! i always make a point to respond :) i don’t really get that many comments on my fics so i always want to show some appreciation for the people that do take time to write something!!

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i guess lost? but the thing is i don't really like to write pure angst. most of the angst i write has a happy ending so by definition, that's probably the only fic i've written that has an angsty ending

7. what’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

hmm see this is difficult when most of my fics have a happy ending and i think it's a little subjective which one is the happiest. but maybe sweet, sweet bliss since it's basically just pure fluff?

8. do you get hate on fics?

thankfully not, although i did get a slightly weird comment a couple months ago that i THINK was trying to jokingly tease me about how the characters were being ooc bc phoenix never gave edgeworth a blowjob in the games. and then they ended the comment with “but good job writing a story.” the problem is i did not know the person and so it did not really feel like much of a joke and it just. idk it felt very weird so i ended up deleting it

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

i only recently started posting smut. i still feel a little awkward about it bc both times it’s been pwp, and with that it’s just like. yeah here’s two guys fucking. that’s it. but maybe that’s just the ace in me talking and feeling kinda weird about it gjsjfjdjfjdf

10. do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

normally no i do not, but i started talking about which pokemon some of the ace attorney characters would have with a friend. and from there we started talking about so many headcanons that i started writing something for that universe bc i was inspired, but i honestly haven't touched it in a few months bc i got distracted writing other things lol

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i’m aware of, so hopefully never!

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

yes!!!! again this goes back to my fics i wrote as a kid (so back when i was still on wattpad), but a few people translated my fics into other languages. the only one i can remember specifically was it was translated into turkish, but i remember there being other ones as well

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

i have not! and i think that’s just bc i write roleplays with people instead

14. what’s your all time favorite ship?

either cherik or narumitsu <3

15. what’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

probably the one i ended up posting anyway since i feel like i'll never come back to it skdfjgjsdfgkj

16. what are your writing strengths?

i think i’m a pretty concise writer, since i write how i think most people would speak. if that makes sense? my answer in the next question kinda gets into that, but i think i’m just not really someone who goes super artistic with my writing

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

i think i’m not the best at writing prose. like, i’m not great with using very flowery, poetic kinda language or vocabulary. i struggle with that a lot. also, i can’t really write long fics, or even multi chapter fics. i just do not have the energy or motivation to do either one lol so that’s why all my fics are one shots

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i try to do it as little as possible bc i only know english, so i have to turn to google translate. and even then i try to stick to only pet names and other terms of endearment, so it’s not like i’m even really writing full sentences or anything in another language

19. first fandom you wrote for?

percy jackson!

20. favorite fic you’ve written?

honestly it's so hard to choose but maybe blinding lights! i'm pretty sure it was the most excited i've ever been to write a fic, but i also recall really enjoying the setting of a cold night in ikea and being able to write that :) that one was the first time i had written fan fic since i was in high school, and it made me fall in love with writing again

tagging @japanifornication @sevenyeargap @ivy-saurs and anyone else that wants to do this! though no worries if you don't want to :)

fic: in a dark, dark room

Getting into bed with Wright was the only option. Getting into bed with Wright was unthinkable. 1.5k of awkward Narumitsu bed-sharing, post-PLVPWAA. (Not very specifically spoilery, but the previous fic in the series is.)

Miles Edgeworth had been doing his best not to fall asleep around other people since he was nine years old.

Nightmares were incriminating, or they were embarrassing, and in either case they begged questions Miles had no desire to answer. A perk of the von Karma estate, and later a high prosecutor’s paycheque, was that private accommodations were easy to come by. Long-haul flights were a marathon endured through willpower, judicious layovers and inadvisable amounts of caffeine.

Once upon a time, when Franziska was still young enough to fear monsters in the dark but wise enough to hide such weakness from her father, there were rare nights she’d barge into his room and climb into his bed. Miles would read to her until she fell asleep correcting his German, and then he’d keep reading until the first hint of dawn peeked through the curtains and he could send Franziska back to her own room.

Miles hadn’t shared a bed with anyone since.

And yet now, here he was, ensnared in a trap of his own making. Franziska would call him a fool, and she’d be right—he’d acted on rare impulse, his judgment impaired by selfishness as much as compassion, and he was paying the price.

Phoenix Wright was in Miles’ hotel room, sound asleep in Miles’ bed.
