But your role really wasn’t that of some embodiment of Death. No, you were London’s guardian angel.

I started this months ago and I’m so very glad it’s finally done, even if I’m not entirely satisfied with it :d

Oh Van Zieks you mellowdramatic bitch i love you so much. Shoutout to that candleabra that gets drenched 40 times a chapter

BAROK VAN ZIEKS..

Ryan appears in the third episode, The Thames Reaper, of Miss Scarlet and plays Mr. Bailey, a journalist. His look is quite different (didn’t even realize it was him at first 🫣) from any other role and has quite a bit of screen time. Will be posting gifs later. Just soaking him up for now.

he purposely made himself look like a vampire right

Accidentally made my mom believe The Reaper of the Bailey was an actual folktale in London😭

Thank you, Mr. Phoenix. I do employ an excellent tailor; her work was truly worth every penny I spent on my court attire.

I decided to attempt playing the Sims 4 again since it's been a minute

Alright so first I wanted to check in on all the households to get an idea what everyone's story was. (Spoiler: I didn't make it very far before getting distracted by their family drama)

I started off with the Bailey-Moon household.

Thorne is mourning someone. I don't know who. I never know who actually because I tend to forget to turn off the accidental deaths in neighborhood stories (EDIT: It was his son, Walker. Poor Walker had an unfortunate encounter with a killer rabbit) Octavia is having a mid-life crisis. She also feels like a poser because she's living in a celebrity home. Orange is a stay-at-home dad. He's doing a good job with all the babies in the house. He wants another baby. Orange. There are three newborns in this house already. I think you have enough for now. It turns out that only two of the babies are his but my point still stands. Investigation of the family tree revealed that Thorne & Octavia had four total kids: Orange, Walker, Jenna, and April.

According to the tree, one of Orange's kids was fathered by a grim reaper????? And Orange's sister Jenna had a baby with Johnny Zest??? I'm pretty sure Johnny is an elder and she's barely a young adult so I don't know when that happened.

Moving on to the Zest household because I need to know.

Aw the baby's name is Journey Moon. This kid must be destined to be an astronaut. Johnny wants to propose to Jenna! Wait, who is this "Skye" in your romance panel, Johnny? Annnnd now he wants a baby. Fine try for baby. Nope not pregnant, try again. Jenna you better be pregnant this time because Johnny is dangerously tired. Ohhh? Skye is calling Johnny because she wants to hang out at his house? Alright let's see where this goes. Skye and Jenna are having a nice conversation. Right after Skye left she called Johnny to tell him his girlfriend was cool. Few minutes later she calls Jenna to hang out. Why not. She could use more friends. OK they're being friendly. Wait. WAIT. Did I see that right? Skye just blew a kiss at her? And Jenna is flirting BACK! I thought Skye was Johnny's sweetheart? Johnny came home from work. He sees Skye flirting with his girlfriend and... she kisses him?! Skye you were just flirting with Jenna!

Pausing the game for now but I think I already know which household I'll be playing as next..

“The reaper of the old Bailey… A new prosecutor whose defendants always die at the end of their trials, whether guilty or innocent… It’s seems that we got ourselves a new case, my dear Iris!”

blitzed my way through the great ace attorney adventures o7

naruhodo ryunosuke patootie of all time wtf

a bunch of ryunosuke + van zeiks court shenanigans bc (besides the Frequent racist comments) they amuse me

love that ryunosuke picks up on this habit—although i know they both mean it sardonically

(also like the way van zeiks uses "my nipponese friend" definitely changes as the game goes on, but imo at the beginning at least it tends to surface when he's particularly frustrated/contemptuous of ryunosuke <- why are you paying attention to this)

it's so fucking funny to me that the reaper of the bailey, known to exclusively tackle the most powerful scum of society, reappears for the first time in 5 years only to take on three seemingly inconsequential trials in a row—all against an otherwise unknown young, foreign lawyer. if i were a member of the london public, i'd be losing my mind.
