thinking about kyane. how she must have known there was no way she would be powerful enough to stop hades but she stood up to him anyway. how even though she wept until she’d lost her mouth her hands and become nothing but water itself she still found a way to warn demeter something terrible had happened. how she’s never remembered in the retellings because she’d ruin their obsession with stripping demeter and persephone’s story of its meaning. how even though she was just a naiad she stood up to the king of the dead and told him he couldn’t take her friend.

I’ve already said it, I’ll say it again, Mal du Pays is such a visceral and clever word to describe Siffrin’s Sadness. When I first saw it in game it genuinely made me pause like. Yes, it translates to homesickness. But it has the literal word for country in it. “Country sickness”. For a guy whose core problem is that his childhood, his culture, his country is missing. One could argue it’s a twisted pun. I’m obsessed with it.

Happy 1 year anniversary to Mr Sherlock Holmes! Here's a litttleee celebratory comic from me

[choccy-milky]

sometimes you gotta lure your overly-studious ravenclaw gf into spending time with you 🥰 📚 ( from 'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall' by Kat_12739 on ao3, GO READ IT!!! the first story is about seb falling sick and still pushing himself/not admitting he's sick until he ends up in the hospital, the second story is about the birth of seb and clora's daughter and seb's reaction to clora almost dying in childbirth, and the third is about dealing with a fussy newborn lewis😭🥹THEY'RE SO GOOD AND SWEET AND SOMEWHAT SAD (not to mention beautifully written) so go check it out!!💖💖 )

Manfred Von Karma did not burn Phoenix's letters to Miles.

Like, I'm not even saying this to defend Manfred's character (though the fanbase does get a little crazy with what he actually did and didn't do) I'm saying this because that's not canon. I'm not sure it was even possible in canon.

Phoenix didn't write letters to Germany. He didn't know Miles was in Germany, let alone Von Karma's address. He didn't even know who Von Karma was until Edgeworth told him about Manfred in Turnabout Goodbyes.

In the game canon, Miles just stopped showing up to school one day. All Phoenix seemed to know was that he transferred schools suddenly. He didn't know why or where to. Remember, Phoenix didn't even hear about DL-6 until Turnabout Sisters when Maya mentioned her family's involvement.

Even in the anime canon (I haven't watched the anime in a while so I might be off about this) where Phoenix and Miles get a chance to properly say goodbye, Phoenix still doesn't have a direct means of contacting him. His best way of doing so was dedicating a song through the radio using Signal Samurai codenames and hoping Miles would hear it.

Phoenix mentions trying to contact him several times when explaining their relationship to Maya, but this was after finding out Miles was this "Demon Attorney". Miles would have to be at least 20 at this point in time, living back in California with at least a few trials under his belt. With how young he reached success, it's not impossible Miles was living on his own at the time. Even if he wasn't, I doubt Manfred was going through this grown adult's mail.

No, what the game seems to be implying is that Miles ignored Phoenix. (Maya even says, "I guess he didn't want to hear from his old friends.") And I don't think this was out of hatred or anything, I think Miles just wanted to forget his past entirely because even the good memories of his childhood would be bittersweet at best.

And to be honest that makes it even more tragic to me. Why do we need Manfred to intercept their connection when Miles' trauma and guilt complex is already doing that?

I like to think Miles knew Phoenix would be asking questions if he ever responded to those initial attempts at contact. Questions he of course doesn't want to answer because they'd at best open old wounds or at worst risk his childhood friend finding out he might have committed patricide.

I also like to think he knew Phoenix of all people would stubbornly try to find the answers Miles wouldn't willingly give because he literally mentions Phoenix always being "single minded in his work" and "always seeing things through to the end". If anyone was going to press and bring those uncomfortable and painful memories out in the open for the sake of "helping him", it would be Phoenix Wright.

Why do we need Manfred to take away all that complexity and tragedy? That is such a waste!

In the spirit of the Ithaca Saga release here's some OdyPen! I cried SO much at the line "There's a girl I have to see" and at Would you Fall in Love with Me Again so it was only fair I made then crying too. Anyways, it was amazing being part of the fandom during the realeases (although I only arrived this year) so I wanted to make something for it!

Finally, my design for Mysterion!! this boy gave me so much heartache in the process of making this but its ok its all worth it for him <3

I also couldn't choose between the version with hair or without hair, so here's the one without under the cut (+ my initial drafts for his design):

I’m genuinely so proud of Ivo Robotnik because when Gerald said “you’re no Maria” and Ivo realised Gerald was manipulating him and didn’t actually care for him, he didn’t relapse. He didn’t go back to believing no one cares about him.

Ivo spent all his life being told he was different and weird and unloveable and he believed it. He believed it to the point he built an unfeeling façade and cosmic ego to cover up his insecurity. The moment Gerald reveals he never cared, Ivo could have easily reverted. Gerald could have been the final nail in the coffin, the final proof that Ivo could never be loved or cared about, even by his own family. Family that he put blind trust in because he believed so strongly that if anyone would be able to love him, it would be his blood. But his trust and feelings were used against him. All the effort and vulnerability he put into a relationship with his grandfather was for nothing.

This could have been the last straw, but it wasn’t.

Ivo Robotnik immediately thinks of Stone. He doesn’t think, ‘If my grandfather can’t love me, no one can,’ he thinks, ‘My grandfather is wrong. There is someone who cares about me. And he’s about to die.’ He starts thinking about Stone and everything he’s ever said to him. He doesn’t even consider that Stone could also be manipulating him. No, he believes so strongly that Stone cares about him. He understands how much Stone loves him. Enough that he acknowledges Stone cares about him while live to the whole world. Enough that he would sacrifice himself to save the whole world if it meant Stone would live.

And he fights for it. He fights Gerald, he fights the odds of the Eclipse Cannon exploding too close to Earth, he fights how terrified he is. Stone means so much to him that he fights for him to live. And in his final moments, Ivo tells Stone how much he meant to him. He would rather be vulnerable to the whole world than not let Stone know he also cared about him. When he said, “Thanks for nothing,” he meant, “Thanks for everything.”

Ivo Robotnik was capable of all that and it’s beautiful to me.
