#that part of me is INSANE

I’ve been reading almost nothing but Narumitsu for the last few days, and inspiration struck. I want to do an Inception Ace Attorney AU. To be perfectly frank, I just want to do an Ace Attorney AU for any of my fandoms (thought of a Stranger Things/Steddie one too!) but Inception was the first one to jump out at me.
To whit:
When art student Eames saw the headline, he couldn’t believe it. A picture of his former best friend Arthur - older, taller, with a hard look in his eyes - under the words “DEMON PROSECUTOR.” That sounded nothing like the kind boy he knew when he was nine.
Eames decided then and there, perhaps a bit recklessly, to change his major - the entire course of his life, really - to law. Luckily for him, he wasn’t going in blind; the famed defense attorney Mallorie Cobb, who had helped him out of a difficult situation in the past, was willing to befriend and mentor him, even as he bungled through his first case. She was a bit ambivalent about his decision when he told her his reasoning, having had several in-court run ins with the Demon Prosecutor himself, and seeing nothing redeemable about him. But Eames was passionate. More importantly, he was passionate in his defense of his friend. And in his passion, Mal could see the heart of a true lawyer.
Please forgive my rambling. There’s even more behind the cut, lol.
Spoilers for the Ace Attorney series!
After a nerve-wracking first case, which sees Eames�� first client being his other oldest friend, Nash, tragedy strikes. Mal is murdered, Eames meets her sister Ariadne (the alleged murderer), and finally stands across the courtroom from the Demon Prosecutor. Arthur is both the same boy he knew, and completely unrecognizable. Knowing his friend spent 15 years as the ward/adopted son of the ruthless Maurice Fischer, even Eames could see the emotional walls Arthur was putting up.
And yet.
And yet, as the case took turns and twists and somehow Eames found himself on the chopping block at one point, even then he noticed something important about Arthur. Though Fischer was known to demand perfection and guilty verdicts no matter what, Arthur seemed more concerned with finding the truth. Several times he made observations and objections that hurt his own case, but which helped Eames uncover the true culprit. But he brushed Eames off when he tried to talk to him about this, and maybe other things.
And then, when Arthur found himself in the hot seat, everything changed. Eames leapt at the chance to defend him, and together they barged their way into the root of a 15 year old conspiracy involving Arthur’s defense attorney father Joseph Gordon, and his mentor Maurice Fischer. And through it all, Eames sees his friend - the friend he once was - shining through the years of trauma. And then, name cleared, Arthur vanished, leaving behind a very ominous note:
“Prosecutor Arthur Gordon chooses death.”
Which seemed to point to only one thing.
Eames was utterly heartbroken. He hadn’t yet told Arthur about his own personal realization (that he was hopelessly in love with him), and now he would never get the chance. But even though his reason for his career change was apparently gone, Eames had grown to love being a lawyer. Plus, he couldn’t leave Ariadne to run Cobb and Co. alone. It was Eames and Co. now. Which Ari loved to joke about (“He’s Eames, I’m Co!”).
After nearly a year of various cases and weird clientele, their lives were thrown into the meat grinder again. Ari was kidnapped, and Eames was forced to defend a man who was so obviously guilty, even the judge was questioning his logic and abilities. And if that wasn’t enough, Arthur returned. As happy as Eames was to see his dear friend (love?) alive, so too was he beyond angry, remembering the almost-year he spent mourning him. Arthur, for his part, was apologetic and rather devastated upon finding out how deeply his disappearance affected Eames. But there were more important things to worry about. Working together, in a slightly more official capacity this time, they exposed the murderer, saved Ariadne, and made plans to finally sit down and talk. Which they did. About their past friendship, Arthur’s disappearance (and the note he left), and what this meant for their future. And though he planned to just lay his soul bare and confess how he felt, Eames sensed that Arthur was content to just repair and maintain their friendship, and nothing deeper. After 15 years without him, Eames told himself that this was better than the coldness of before.
At least, until Dusky Bridge.
Until Arthur, an ocean away, got a frantic call from Nash saying that Eames was dying. A call which sent him on the fastest flight back to the states. Which sent him running through hospital halls until he found himself in his friend's room. His friend who, despite some bandages here and there - and a rather persistent cough - was none the worse for wear. Even though, as Arthur was quick to point out, he fell 40 feet through a burning bridge into a raging river. Eames, seemingly embarrassed, downplayed this. But he did ask for Arthur’s help, which the other man agreed to unreservedly.
Eames handed him his defense attorney badge. And asked him to defend [Iris, name to be changed] in his stead. The sheer trust Eames had invested in him at this request was overwhelming. It, along with the stress of thinking Eames was injured and/or dying, caused Arthur to finally let the rest of his walls down. He confessed his true feelings towards his oldest friend, bracing himself for rejection. But of course, Eames laughed, and told him he felt the same.
They agreed to discuss things more at a later date, much like before. Which, case resolved, they did. Among other things.
The case itself brought to light many strange and bizarre happenings. Things about Ariadne and her family. About people from Eames’ past which he’d rather have forgotten. And it marked the appearance of Mal’s estranged husband Dom, a prosecutor who seemed hellbent on destroying the life of the man he blamed for Mal’s death: Eames.
Cases referenced in my notes (so far):
The First Turnabout
Turnabout Sisters
Turnabout Goodbyes
Farewell, My Turnabout
Bridge to the Turnabout
… with a few other tiny references sprinkled here and there, of course.
I’m only focused on the main trilogy right now; the thought of bringing in Apollo Justice and the Seven Year Gap feels a bit too daunting. I’m already having to come up with my own OCs to fill in a few of the characters, lol. I’d love to include Rise from the Ashes (I think Saito would make an amazing Damon Gant), but there are sooooo many side characters in that one… Saito would also make for an interesting Kristoph Gavin, if I were to cover that whole debacle.
(Now I’m having flashes of Eames taking on his own protégé, a young and ambitious defense lawyer named Steve Harrington (aka Apollo Justice), whose main rival/love interest is the rock star prosecutor Eddie Munson (aka Klavier Gavin) Combining three whole ass fandoms into one AU? I need to be stopped, lmao.)
Don’t expect anything concrete any time soon. This is a project that needs care and attention and time to grow, like the Paint Shop AU. I’ll keep you posted on further developments.
#inception#arthur x eames#ace attorney#narumitsu#kind of#ace attorney AU#part of me wants to include every case#that part of me is INSANE#lol#but this idea won’t leave me be#I’ll keep fleshing things out#stay tuned

fascinated by just how much marvel movies (and shows) managed to perfect the formula of making 2 male characters Just gay enough that the fans who want that will go UMMM IT'S NOT BAIT THEY'RE LITERALLY GAY LOOK!!!! but not too gay that homophobes even pick up on there being any subtext let alone get mad. extremely insidious form of bait. obvious examples being fatws and loki and more recently deadpool 3 and now venom 3
#it actually makes me feel like im going insane. engineered specifically to upset noone and commit to nothing#and the worst part is every time i say this people immediately#go ''um no it's literally gay? didnt you see x scene??'' im sorry but you are just proving my exact point.#venom#venom 3#venom spoilers#venom the last dance#anti marvel#anti mcu#deadpool 3#deadpool and wolverine#for the record i havent seen fatws and i never will but i Know.#poolverine#deadclaws#veddie#symbrock

arcanists: we wield the most complex form of magic... arcanima. one must master arcane geometry to weave patterns that respect the flow of aether, which in turn will create powerful creature that can help you in combat. this is very dangerous and very powerful, it's not for the weak of mind
also arcanists: anyway we use that power to inspect ship crates lmao
#to my knowledge it is NEVER EXPANDED UPON#that merlwyb needed the arcanists i know. but they were there before already#they were just very much nepotists#so WHY contraband inspection. why not uuuh part of the army. or why not academics.#square enix this is driving me insane

Welcome to the reverse verse! This is part 1 of 2 of a commission for @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are and I can't wait to tell you all about it, because I'm incapable of being normal and chill about these concepts, so I ran with it.
Charles Rowland was born in 1900, his mum was from India and moved to the UK after marrying Charles' dad, a soldier who was not... very loving. Charles' heritage gave him some problems, but none as bad as that one time in 1916 when he was sacrificed to a demon and spent the next 7 decades in Hell. He doesn't like to talk about it, except when it can get him what he wants. He was always an angry boy, or so he thought, but after his time spent in Hell, it became so much worse. He's explosive and unpredictable, and so he mostly avoids conflict. He doesn't need to fight anyone, as his charming personality and sweet smile (plus a few smart calculations) always seem to be enough to convince people to give him what he asks for. And when the fight is inevitable... well, he has Edwin for that!
Edwin Payne grew up very sheltered, in a deeply religious home, and he is proud of that. Don't try to argue with him, because he surely has a Bible verse that will help him win (and if not, he is not above using his croquet mallet now that he has someone to keep safe). Unfortunately for him, he realized at a quite young age that he felt attraction towards other boys. Even worse, somehow other people could tell as well, including those peers that ended up killing him for it (the rumour spread throughout school was that he had died due to AIDS, and most people just accepted it). He never acted on those unnatural urges of his, but when he met this ghost who had just escaped Hell... he decided not to risk eternal damnation, and to stay here with Charles, instead. Edwin has no interest in the supernatural or in magic, and sort of looks down on them, but luckily his friend's got that covered.
#dead boy detectives#dbda#payneland#edwin x charles#reverse verse#honestly the fact that i was given so much freedom to plan this universe is insane to me i am so thankful#i feel like this version of them is a bit darker#that wasn't intentional but oh well#guess that comes with having a charles who is kind of manipulative#and an edwin who is the annoying kind of catholic#(i am allowed to say that i come from a catholic family... not very catholic mind you my mom didn't actually care)#cw homophobia#can't forget that one#i'll post the next part probably tomorrow or the day after!#that's the crossover so wait for it#just to make it clear yes this edwin is in love with his charles but in denial#and this charles adores his edwin and doesn't think much about it#universal constant etc etc

I think about the theory in how you're never more than 6 degrees removed from someone in the world, and the best example of this was finding out one of my long time internet friends actually went to college with human pet guy/cybersmith AND had the pleasure of rejecting him from a job interview post grad
#the best part was that my friend didnt know cybersmith was internet 'famous' and was just telling me insane tales of this guy in his uni#until i put two and two together and realized who his awful classmate was

youtube shorts is just tiktok without being on the app the amount of "i'm a [qualification] and [misinformation]" could make one turn their skin inside-out in protest. "i'm a board-certified OB-GYN & it's only been about the last hundred years that women have actually experienced menopause. We didn't live long enough to experience it" how can you be so incredibly wrong about something so integral to your practice. King of the Hittites Hattusilis III was told in 1250 BCE that his sister was too old to reproduce at age 50+. Aristotle wrote in the 4th century BCE that women stopped menstruating between ages 40 to 50, common menopause ages today still. i cannot begin to tell you how 4th century & 1250 BCE don't really count as "the last hundred years" unless that -s is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waiter waiter more misinformation laws.
#do they just be making anybody an ob-gyn these days.#what ''board'' is certifying this. your car's dashboard?#life expectancy for the past millennia was heavily skewed down because surviving infancy was Not Easy#but if you made it past that you could live to your 50s if not later.#we have multiple hypotheses about PREHISTORIC WOMEN'S menopause and how post-reproductive life in humans could have been an#integral part of the life of the tribe with help with child-rearing; gathering; hunting; medicine. like hello.#prehistoric menopausal women GET BEHIND ME [wolf growling]#neigh (blabbers)#sorry. i'm insane. gyno health and everything about periods & menopause is already so little understood & the wider medical body kinda#dgaf about if you keel out in pain from preventable menstrual diseases so if i catch anyone spreading misinformation. i'm going beastmode.

Disaster Twins Karaoke Battle (alt title: Getting Hyped for the Next Lair Games)
These sketches are old, but I couldn't let National TMNT Day pass without showing my appreciation in some way. I drew these some months ago, while listening to the song Stalemate from the Death Note musical yes, that's a thing, go check it out on loop, and forgot to post them. The song is a bop and I could so easily see the twins loving it, and loving to perform it even more. Massive theatre nerds, the both of them, no one can convince me otherwise.
(In my mind, Leo is singing Jeremy's part and Donnie is singing Jarrod's, but it's interchangeable.)
#Me doing my part to spread a lil theatre nerd DT propaganda. AND promote the work of my favorite modern composer. Two in one baby!#disaster twins#donatello hamato#leonardo hamato#rottmnt donnie#rottmnt leo#rise donnie#rise leo#rottmnt#rise of the tmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#fanart#chiscribbs#Seriously go check out the song - Wildhorn is the man and he knows how to put together an insanely talented cast.#The harmonies and orchestration are just (chef's kiss) ❤

Some cryptid photos of Vessel (+ ii) that I've collected over the past week. The fact that almost all of them look like they came out of trail cam footage is absolutely sending me
#add a grainy overlay and the date and time text from an old camcorder and I think I could convince someone it *is* trail cam footage#the fact that this odd pose where he's got his arms out with his fingers spread is a common part of his dance routine makes me giggle a lot#like you go you funky music man#there are so many photos of ii out there where he legitimately just looks like he's either edited into the photo or ->#an actual creature of the night as well#this is just my favourite because he looks so insanely out of place#if anybody has an editions feel free to add!

Life is too short.
[ my art ] [ twitter ]
(detail + ratio rambling under the cut >_>)
This is one of those "I need a break between my ten other illustrations, let me do a lil sketchy sketch :D" that got too ambitious etc. etc. I never want to see the color red again" moments. BUT!
I really, really like to explore Ratio's viscerality and what's happening between his brain and his nerves, like... all of this thorough control and discipline and he still has to breathe and react to himself and his surroundings, you know? His accomplishments are insane for "his age"* but he's going to run out of "age" at some point! His ambitions are so far reaching that he's not worried about getting doctorate degree Number Nine! Rather, his efforts are pointed outwards, into the universe, for the universe. As you know.
Speaking of his degrees, I had a half thought a while ago that we've seen him with two types of laurel pins.
One is him in his suuuuuper cute mother goose avatar (three leaves) and the other is the hat he's wearing everywhere else (eight leaves).
The thought was, "Aww, what if they're like commemorative pins counting the number of his degrees or whatever :)". Literally only because there's eight in the current one. This is kind of silly because then you'd HAVE to have an obscene number of degrees even for a normal person for your leaf pin to start looking like a laurel in the first place so scratch that BUT it's cute to think that it's still academic regalia. Something something I work in higher ed myself and it's like... it's like that.
The university goldsmith appreciates the job security.
I REMEMBER WHY I BROUGHT THAT UP. FOLLOWING the fantasy where more leaves = more knowledge!, in summary, even though Ratio seems to be a little beyond trying to get a prize every time he learns something now. But he does want to Keep Going. He can only Keep Going.
So I drew him in a bathtub full of an uncountable amount of gold leaves looking at the camera with an indescribable expression born from a hunger that will never be satiated lol DETAIL SHOT!
*Referenced only vaguely in a comment in the context of astonishment, but it could have easily have been "woah he's accomplished so much for his age (young)" as it could be "woah he looks good for his age (older)". There is no canon age and even then, reconciling standardized system time versus planetary time versus "does his particular breed of lizard human have the same lifespan as tumblr user nhura?" is a losing game for everyone involved! Here's what I think: I think he started going grey in his early twenties, whatever that means in spacefantasygame, and that that's very cute on him.
Do YOU think Ratio would be tempted by immortality???? Or would he MIND HIS BUSINESS
#dr ratio#dr. ratio#hsr fanart#veritas ratio#hsr#my art#SORRY FOR THE INSANE COLOR CHOICE I feel bad posting this in ratio circles because normal ratio art is pleasing on the eye.#blue and gold and white. some ivory. tan sometimes. like fresh air on a brisk day#not piss christ is what i'm saying#in my defense his eyes look like that anyway so this is actually Topical.#I want to talk about Ratio's self image and relationship to his own flesh but that's for another day. unless you ask me niceys#my art: hsr#honkai star rail#holding up a sign that says I LIKE THAT RATIO'S PHYSICAL BODY IS BOTH A CONTINUOUS PROJECT AND LABOR OF PERFECTION WHILST BEARING THE CONSE#THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS EXTRAORDINARY LIFE#PART 3: why does ratio not have an art degree? it's simpler than you think.#okay i'm done BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
