#they are not complete idiots okay

Miles Edgeworth is both extremely perceptive about other people’s intentions and motivations, but also terrible at understanding how his own actions affect others. It’s quite an interesting nuance that I think is often overlooked.

When Edgeworth returns in 2-4, he is already aware of what Phoenix is lacking as an attorney before he even knows the full extent of Phoenix's crisis (Maya being kidnapped). In their first conversation, Edgeworth says: "In order to understand this case, you have to understand a certain "truth"". He knows that Phoenix's current motivation for being a defense attorney is flawed (cue his "we are not heroes" line). However, at the same time Edgeworth doesn’t fully understand how his actions of disappearing have affected both Phoenix and Franziska.

Another very obvious example of this is in AAI (I think?). In response to Kay asking: “Have you guys not decided if you are going out, or is it just one sided?” Edgeworth says: “‘Decided’…? Shouldn’t the parties involved naturally just know…?” Edgeworth thinks people in a relationship should instinctively perceive the feelings of the other person without communicating. He doesn’t consider the possibilities of misinterpretation or misunderstanding.

So in the context of Wrightworth, essentially what I'm saying is that unless something like fear is holding him back, Miles definitely knows about Phoenix's feelings. It's Phoenix who's off somewhere deluding himself.

Question for the DP fandom:

Do you think Danny’s hair turns white when it falls out? It’s technically dead cells anyway but when it naturally falls off his head, do you think it turns white? Because I think it would be hilarious if his hairbrush just has white hair, no black strands whatsoever, and his significant other thought the worst until they know his secret.

you know, after watching day 3 of the democratic national convention, i need to say something, especially to other muslims like me.

most of the muslim communities that i'm a part of have chosen to vote uncommitted, or independent, or sometimes, even trump. they refuse to give their vote to kamala harris and tim walz, because of the way the us has handled the war in gaza, and how they have been careless with acknowledging palestinian lives lost, how it was american bombs and american tax money that went towards funding this genocide. it's fucked up, and it's wrong, and there shouldn't be any debate on that.

and i am 100% in support of that anger. i am 100% in support of forcing america to stop funding this genocide. no one wants to keep seeing palestinian lives suffer. no one is free until we're all free, and i believe that to my very core.

my only concern is that where this anger is being placed, from 1 year to 11 weeks before the presidential election, is so scary. because the reality of the situation is that america has a bipartisan outlook. whoever gets the presidency is either democrat or republican. and every vote that doesn't go towards democracy (i.e. voting for kamala harris) inadvertently goes towards trump's big plan of project 2025, which is basically dictatorship. Even voting uncommitted, even voting independent. we cannot afford to elect trump for a second term, and voting anything other than democrat draws that line way too close, especially in swing states like michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, georgia.

yes, there are many issues that we wish joe biden would handle better. there are many ways that the democratic party has fucked up beyond repair. there are many ways the democratic party has refused to acknowledge the pain of people affected by their military people throughout the years, and we've been seeing it for years. this is not a new thing. this did not start on october 7th. we see it during pretty much every administration.

however, voting for your candidate should never be based on a singular issue. no political candidate is ever going to check every single box. and its so unfortunate that we have to always take the "lesser of two evils" approach when nominating our president, but that's the reality of the situation at this very moment. there are many other rights to be considered that are at stake this election, all of which trump is trying to remove. abortion bans, women's rights, healthcare, social security, climate change, to name a few.

(and, somehow, there's a belief that trump will lead to a ceasefire deal where biden-harris didn't? let me tell you that is never going to happen.)

does this mean we just stop protesting or pressuring? absolutely not. you NEVER stop, because if our votes are the ones that put the candidate in their position of power, then we expect results. we expect them to work towards what they promised. and we can't let up on reaching out to our local county offices and our state governors and escalating these issues further until someone takes notice and does something about them. we don't elect them and just leave them to do what they want. we keep them accountable. use that anger i was talking about.

but it also means not having tunnel vision. the election in november could very well mean the end of democracy if kamala harris doesn't win. this post is not me all giggly-happy over the democratic party, because trust me, i have my fair share of issues with them as well. this post isn't to tell you what to do, because i can't force you to vote blue. i can't force the community i'm in to change their minds about toss-up votes. but what i can do is put down plainly what's at stake this election. and that is, very simply, our right to choose everything.

so if you are eligible to vote and haven't registered, please do. if you haven't voted before because "what's the point", please see above what the point is. a handful of votes is enough to flip the outcome of an election, especially with the electoral college.

and if you're still on the fence on whether to vote for kamala or trump, hopefully this post gives a little bit more perspective in the most streamlined way i could manage without bogging you down with statistics and numbers.

the choice is yours.

good omens is filled with so much LOVE holy fuck

HELLO it's the Good Omens Mascot here, and okay i'm rewatching good omens and i promise i'm being Very Fine and Normal about it (don't look at my last post) and how is it not clear how UTTERLY in love Aziraphale is with Crowley I don't get how some people still don't understand it that angel is fucking SMITTEN

he was smitten back when he saw Crowley in Rome and burst into a smile and he was smitten when he refused to give Crowley the holy water because he wouldn't lose Crowley and he was smitten when Crowley handed him the books and he was smitten when THEY KISSED AND HE WAS STILL SMITTEN WHEN HE HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN BECAUSE HE BELIEVES IN HUMANITY STILL AND HE'S GOING TO FIGHT FOR THE WORLD THAT THEY BOTH LOVE AND THAT THEY TOASTED TO BACK IN SEASON ONE BECAUSE IF HE'S IN CHARGE HE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE HE KNOWS HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HE KNOWS IT'S A LONG SHOT BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT ANGEL STOP TRYING OR STOP BELIEVING IN THE THINGS THAT MATTER

god there's so much i missed in all the chaos of when i watched it first like for fuck's sake aziraphale's response to the arrangement? not that he would be in danger, but that hell would destroy Crowley.

aziraphale is SUCH A LITTLE BITCH DON'T GET ME WRONG IT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HIM, HIS PRISSY MANICURED HANDS AND HIS CASUALLY STROLLING OFF TO LET JEAN-CLAUDE GET GUILLOTINED AND HIS STANDARDS, HE'S A LITTLE SHIT AND I LOVE HIM FOR IT, BUT ALSO HE'S FILLED WITH SO MUCH LOVE JUST LIKE CROWLEY IS AND I KNOW I'VE ALWAYS YELLED ABOUT CROWLEY BUT IT'S HIGH TIME I YELLED ABOUT AZIRAPHALE TOO

god they're both filled with so much love Aziraphale refused to turn Gabriel away from the bookshop and took him in. Crowley, knowing everything that she does about Gabriel, still saw that Gabriel was distressed and offered them hot chocolate. there's so much LOVE NOT JUST FOR EACH OTHER BUT IN GENERAL THEY'RE JUST SUCH. IDIOTS. AND SO FULL OF HEART. AND SO INCOMPETENT. AND SO IN LOVE.

NO I AM FINE I AM TOTALLY NORMAL ANF FUCKING FINE IT'S OKAY I'CM OKAY GO AWAY DON'T LOOK AT ME

thinking about how ortega can go the entirety of retribution with step being openly attracted to them. but if step goes to dinner w daniel and then confesses to ortega to bring a regene at daniels apartment.... he is just 1000% ready to step down. "you two are happy together, so sidestep and i will just be friends." ive been openly attracted to you the entire time ! we have been kissing for months ! i *told* you that i had been seeing daniel for coffee. and ! we had a thing in the past ! we have history ! why are you giving up on *us* so quickly !? why do you think i would choose him over you ? i want both of you !

why is ortega sooo. idk. weird. insecure. jealous. but about daniel specifically

like. the text is constantly like. "ortega is scared to let you go. they're scared to lose you. "I'm scared of you leaving me again," said ortega." but with THIS he's prepared to give step up !? ortega !!!!
