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

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😭

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..

⚔️ "it was said that the reaper of the bailey was the ghost of my late brother... i wonder if perhaps those rumours made me feel his absence a little less keenly." ⚔️

SPOILERS FOR THE GREAT ACE ATTORNEY 2 AND ACE ATTORNEY INVESTIGATIONS later on in this post

gonna cornplate here but this was something that I realized awhile ago but I haven’t actually talked about before

ok so the 20th anniversary art. It has characters from the main games on one side (+ Kay and Eustace) and characters from TGAA on the other. for the MAIN main characters, most of them have a parallel on either side (like how Gant parallels Stronghart, Kristoph parallels Seishiro, etc)

but for Gumshoe, his parallel is Gina

you’d THINK that his parallel would be Gregson, but really, they don’t have THAT much in common aside from being officers who wear the same shade of green, like Gumshoe is lower than dirt poor, he can barely afford cup noodles, a lot of times he can be a bit empty-headed, he isn’t the MOST professional, and he’s isn’t really respected among the other officers

meanwhile, Gregson is seemingly well off, he doesn’t seem to be struggling, he CAN afford to eat since he has an infinite supply of fish and chips that he’s eating 24/7, he’s a lot more professional than Gumshoe is, and he pays a lot more attention to things that (pre-AAI games) Gumshoe wouldn’t, and he was one of the most respected officers at Scotland Yard, probably THE most respected (and y’know also he’s dead and Gumshoe isn’t. so,)

but the character Gumshoe DOES have more in similarity with is Gina

they’re both poor, their clothes are old and don’t really suit them (like Gina’s clothes are too big for her, and Gumshoe’s coat is really dirty, at least I’m pretty that’s what they said), they’re both the main person who takes care of the police dog, they aren’t really respected as officers, they’re usually the most lenient and nicest towards the defense, and they’ve both had mentors that were on the force that they looked up to, only for it to be revealed that they were a part of a group of people who committed crimes because they thought the law was too limiting (Badd with the Yatagarasu, and Gregson with the Reaper of the Bailey)

I don’t know if it was Kazuya Nuri’s intention intention for them to parallel each other in the art, like I’m almost definitely looking too far into this, but hey, I thought that it was interesting lol, so
