First Half of Miraculous Season 2 Done. Here's my thoughts:
The Collector: A pretty good start! They made the teens smart while still being dumb teens!
Despair Bear: Chloe needs a therapist, arguably moreso than a redemption arc and especially a downward villainous spiral. Also Dangit Grandpa
Prime Queen: Wow, this was a lot more chill than expected. Even Cat Noir was left aghast at what Nadja was doing, Nadja seemed to be pressuring Ladybug and Cat Noir more for views than anything else, and I'm not entirely sure Akuma personalities can be trusted.
Befana: Fun fact: This was the episode that got me into Miraculous in the first place because of how shocking it was. And then I discovered even more. In hindsight from watching the other episodes, it was relatively darker, but mostly because it's Marinette's friends and family that are getting G-rated killed instead of random civilians like every other episode.
Riposte: Kagami is here! I don't see too much chemistry with her and Adrien yet, but she's cool and I like her and feel like I could be friends in real life. Also this feels like a relatively uncommon trope, but I wish "X is blatantly a woman but no one notices" was spedran through by someone with brains.
Robustus: Pretty good, all things considered. From what I've heard about Miraculous lore, creating sapient or at the very least semi-sapient AI isn't that uncommon for weirdness hotspots, and I'm putting Max in the list of characters I think should have figured out Ladybug and Cat Noir's identity. (There's four now!)
Gigantitan: It turns out my favorite parts of Miraculous are the slice-of-life bits instead of the superhero bits the show is about! We got to see more of Marinette's friends! Alix! Mylene! Julie! The Eeby Deeby herself! Also it was really sweet to see Adrien's bodyguard calm down just by looking at the kid. Adrien's true daddy.
Dark Owl: No wonder these two aren't allowed to know eachothers' identities, considering how much of a loose tongue Marinette has!
Glaciator: Alright, it's finally time to talk about the sins of Marinette and Cat Noir, considering the fan content I osmosed before watching the series was heavy salt stuff, and I wanna see how much it holds up. So far Cat Noir has acted as if he's already dating Ladybug previously, and in this episode he got mad at Ladybug for not showing up at a date when she herself said she might not come due to having other plans. Isn't he supposed to be used to not-showing-up disappointment as Adrien due to his dad? Is it different because he's Cat Noir? Is this a breaking point? No matter, he eventually calms down and is ultimately the less bad member of the relationship. Marinette, meanwhile, doesn't have as many misdemeanors to her name but they're a lot worse. She stole Adrien's phone to get rid of an embarrassing message and got away with it too, what the hell, and also owns the schedule. Although I don't believe she stalked Adrien and made it herself due to how busy she is as both Marinette and Ladybug, that's just weird and wrong. I'm reluctant to call her a stalker, but her actions are still wrong. Ultimately, this relationship is going to need a lot of therapy and counseling to not crash and burn. What were we talking about again? Oh yeah. The ice cream episode. I think the ice cream guy can be wrong and he doesn't understand that.
Sapotis: Silly little fun episode, also it introduces the first new Miraculous holder! I'm honestly fine with it so far if it means more screentime for side characters. I honestly really like seeing Marinette's classmates. They're neat. Also I was this close to putting Alya on the list but she proves time and time again that she doesn't actually know Ladybug's identity.
Gorizilla: In this episode we are introduced to Adrien's deranged parasocial fanbase. I'm starting to understand some of his father's decisions at this point. This is what I was talking about with the schedule, by the way. These obsessive stalker creeps make Marinette look reasonable, and I wouldn't be surprised if the one guy who I'm pretty sure becomes Party Crasher discreetly stalked Adrien to get his schedule. Restraining orders need to be filed.
Captain Hardrock: One of the funniest episodes, up there with Dark Cupid. Also Luka is here! And he already has great chemistry with Marinette! And more Rosie and Julie content even if it's crumbs!

Hiiiiiiiiii pookiiweeeee :)
I’m thinking more about my whole high school DearDollops angst au, I have so many ideas for them ;v;
I’m thinking a lot about their friendship after the entire situation. It’s awkward and complicated but they’re trying their best
Eddie lets his hair grow out a bit, and Daisey pulls it back into a little high ponytail. It’s cute and Eddie appreciates it
They’re just a lot more affectionate now, mostly on Eddie’s side cause he’s nervous. Daisey tries to reassure him but they’re also nervous
They hang out a lot more, but conversations are not super easy to hold up anymore
It’s just Eddie yapping and Daisey listening, but it helps them get comfortable again
Eddie invited Daisey to hang out with him and the rest of the neighbors/his friends and they immediately called for a group huddle to talk about it
Daisey could hear everything they said but ignored it
Daisey calls him Edd. It flip flops between that and Eddie, but they mostly use Edd
I’m thinking after some really stressful and tiring after school sports practice (I still don’t know what sport I want Eddie to do), Daisey just walks to the field to wait for him and he immediately runs and tackle-hugs them
Daisey’s just walking over to the field and saying hi, and Eddie just goes “Daaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiseeeeeeyyyyyyyyy :(“ and tackles them into a hug
They probably eat Smile-Dip behind the school and look at clouds
They’re the kind of duo to spray people with silly spray during parties together
The teasing from both their friend groups are non stop. They mention hanging out once and immediately someone starts making kissy noises
Is that the queue that I’m making them romantic? Possibly-
I need to make incorrect quotes for them they’re too precious to me once they’re at this stage :,3
Hiiii Bestieee :]
Oh yay Aftermath Friendship! let the awkward begin lol (post typing me is adding a cut bc I think this is a tad long lol 😅)
ponytail Eddie my beloved that sounds so cute
Sorry did you mean Touch Starved Best Friends Have Recently Made Up And It's Awkward But They Really Want To Cuddle?
Eddie's yapping is fun to listen to at least, bc of the topic, his accent, or his enthusiasm. Plus I think sometimes he'll mention something and Dasiey manages to respond to it before he moves on, thus triggering a more back n forth convo. still def takes a while for it feel as natural as it did before
Daisey standing next to the group huddle looking into the camera (the wall) like they're in the office lol
He may be sore as heck but that will not stop Eddie from tackling Daisey. Pain be damned it's Hug Time.
Also. Mind if I share some sport ideas for Eddie? Ahem! Weightlifting, Volleyball, Cross Country, or Soccer! Cross country and soccer are kinda funny w/ his clumsiness but I like the idea of Eddie in running type sports. Tho he could be a soccer goalie! Weightlifting needs little explanation lol he a strong boy. and volleyball is fun w/ more clumsy potential but less running lol
Points at you! That's sounds adorable but now I wanna know what they'd both be like on smile dip high or whatever it is that happens lmao
They're both hiding behind the same wall thinking they'll jump spray some rando only to spray each other in the face with silly string XD
NO DANGIT You just gave me the mental image of Howdy turning around to do the fake making out motions Thing! you know what I mean Idk what it's called! Barnaby Loses his mind and needs to lay down he's laughing too hard. Eddie's face is redder than his hair and he's yelling ajdhajdjah gah these idiots I love them sm

Why Troll!Jim is my favorite character
My mind kept rollin’ around after making that post about how different people can like/dislike characters for different reasons and decided to share why my favorite Trollhunters character is just that. Especially because there’s a number of people out there who really don’t like him, and you know what, hey, valid. You don’t have to like the same characters I do. This post is not meant to convert anyone to my “side” or anything. Just to explain why I, personally, find the character appealing.
1.) He’s simply CUTE!
This is, of course, 100% subjective, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE troll!Jim’s design y’all. Blue skin, which is my favorite color--actually appears blue-gray in some shots, which reminds me of my fav cat breed tbh, the “British Blue” which are actually a kinda rich gray. The floofy hair. The cute little teefers. The way he moves like a big ol’ kitty.
Sure there are some things I could nitpick, for example I think the mismatched hands are kind of an odd choice, but nonetheless I just really enjoy watching him. Seeing him on screen makes me smile. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just look at this precious bean. I wanna scoop him up and give him a big ol’ snuggle!!
He’s very fun to draw too!! I very much enjoy doodling his design. 
I already loved Jim’s character as a human; now he has all those moments and development and character PLUS an extra-adorable design (imo at least--I mean, his human design is cute too, I just happen to prefer his troll design :) ). For me that’s a win-win lol.
2.) Biology
I love speculative/fantasy biology; I’ve always found it fascinating to analyze and theorize about and headcanon for. Those who have known me long enough to recall my days in the Inuyasha fandom probably know this; I used to make huge analyses on the speculative genetics of the half-youkai protagonist and make in-depth headcanons on how his biology worked (hmmm, another half-human you say? Strange, it’s almost like I find that a particularly interesting concept to theorize about! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
Same thing for troll Jim. We know very little about what being a half-troll entails, whether or not Jim is the only one to have ever existed, etc., which leaves a lot of stuff up to interpretation and I love that! It’s so much fun to think about and speculate on how his new form operates, how it’s different from both full trolls and full humans but also in what ways it’s akin to each, what strengths and weaknesses come with the hybrid status, etc.!
It’s the exact kind of thing that really piques my interest and gets me thinking and theorizing! :)
3.) Change
Alright, so this isn’t something I really make a habit of talking about online because it’s quite personal, but I’ve always struggled a great deal with change. I am a creature of habit and like to stay in my comfort zone with most things. Any big change in my life causes a lot of stress and irrational anxiety, and I know it is irrational, and I try to overcome but for me it is. so. hard.
Starting middle school was terrifying. Starting high school was terrifying. Starting college was terrifying. Graduating college and moving into the “real world” was terrifying. And right now, as much as I love the idea of having a loving partner, the idea of dating and starting a real, serious relationship and getting married is terrifying. It’s such a major change in life and you can never quite go back to the way you were before. You don’t retreat back into your comfort zone, that next stage is your New Life. And that’s terrifying.
Yes, I know, to a lot of you much of that probably sounds silly, and like I said, I don’t really like to discuss it much online (or anywhere really, unless you’re my mom or my therapist). But it is something I struggle with quite often as a young 20-something with anxiety.
All that said, Jim’s transformation has forced him into a situation that I absolutely, 100% understand would be absolutely terrifying. And there’s no going back. The change is permanent. He can’t retreat back to the comfort zone of being fully human. His life is forever altered, for better or for worse.
And if I feel so deeply for how scary that is, why the heck do I love this character so much?
Because he’s heckin’ inspirational for me, gosh dangit.
If this character that I enjoy so much can go through such a major life-shattering event, something after which nothing will ever be quite the same, and yet still be able to adapt--still be able to find happiness--still have all the unconditional love and support from friends and family--maybe I can too.
Troll!Jim is a comfort character for me. He represents someone who went through one of my worst psychological fears and, eventually, come out the other side with a smile. He’s someone that I can project my own struggles onto and then watch him overcome them.
That’s part of the reason I so much detest the idea that he’ll never be happy again unless his transformation is reversed. How soul-crushing that idea is to someone like me.
So......yeah. There you go. That’s why troll!Jim is my favorite character. You still don’t have to like him; that’s fine. We’re all entitled to our own opinions and interpretations after all.
But this character is very special to me, and that, at least, is not going to change.

Seaspray’s anniversary
Words: 3,129 It’s a special day for Seaspray! Many cheerful memories to be had!... Many... memories...
The Ark’s internal chronometer, adapted to the Earth's cycle, alerted it’s crew to the dawn steadily encroaching their world. A sound beyond human hearing thrummed away in the rooms of those who had not been on any sort of night-guard, rousing their sleeping systems up from a well-earned rest. If you listened carefully you could probably hear the creaks and groans of stiff metal and fibre stretching as various bots got up from their rest and eased their systems into motion. A loud thud echoed from one room as a body hit the floor with unnecessary force. Seaspray was too excited to care that he’d flopped out of bed so unceremoniously, forgetting to put his arms out to cushion the fall. It was a brilliant day for him, as it was every other time this date rolled around. In a quick dive-like motion forward Seaspray flattened his body and pushed with his arms, sending him into a controlled slide across the smooth metal, the automatic door opening for him and letting him out to the Ark’s hallways. Using his arms and short legs Seaspray avoided a head-on collision with any walls and slipped between his fellow Autobots as carefully as possible, disgruntled growls from Ironhide were easily shrugged off. Jazz had organised a schedule for various mechs and Seaspray had already had a lengthy chat with the relaxed senior officer who had been more than fine with allowing the aquatic mech some time off, at least enough to cover the day, something Seaspray always tried to do for this day with varied success (usually depending on who he spoke to, of course). Regardless, he still put aside some time for it no matter his schedule. Getting to the Arks entrance was easy, getting outside wasn’t so. Earth’s surface was so varied and changed on a dime or was a mishmash of textures and bumps. It wasn’t as if Seaspray couldn’t get about on Earth it was just that it felt odd and was often a bit jarring if he was just zooming out the Ark without a care in the universe. Regardless, pushing up with his flat, spread legs along with his arms he moved quicker across Earth's surface in an ungainly looking waddle.
---------------- “Hey! You lookin’ a bit nervous there!” Seaspray jumped with the sudden sound and jerked his head around to the beach. The time was far, far in the distant past, Cybertron was still… alive and bustling. The sun was high in it’s peak of the current solar cycle, and on the beach a very young charcoal-coloured mech lay, optics staring at Seaspray. Equally as young as the tiny figure gazing at him with the type of curiosity only younglings had Seaspray sunk into the water a little bit before mumbling. “N… nothing...” “M’ names Coldseep! I live near here!” The other child seemed somewhat oblivious to Seaspray’s shyness, “Haven’t seen you around before is all!” they chirped. ‘Oh’ Seaspray thought, this was one of those moments his parental units told him about, one where he should really speak up. “I’m Seaspray… I, uh, we just moved here… recently…” He barely emerged from the water anymore, just a pair of optics above its surface. Coldseep immediately burst into excited squeals and thrashed his way into the water, coming to a halt s short distance away from Seaspray, arms in the air. “YAY! New friend! We can see each other every day!” Coldseep practically bobbed up and down in his excitement. Seaspray, however, wasn’t quite at his level of excitement. “I… I dunno” He muttered back, rising out the water a little more, “I live on the water-side… I’m more of a sea-mech” “Oh! Tha’s okay! I’m a submaran! Marin! Dangit!” Coldseep fumbled over his words with a frown deepening on his face plates. “A… A submarine? You’re a Submarine?” Seaspray rose up a bit more, daring to get closer to examine him with a curious optic. “YEAH! Tha’s it! I always mess up the end bit!” Coldseep’s grin could’ve split his face apart. -------------- In the present Seaspray had slowed down to a very slow amble only pausing slightly to watch his own hand press into some sand and sink down. Feeling the loose grains softly envelop his digits before slowly pulling it away and looking fondly at the imprint he left behind. --------------- A much smaller imprint was left in the sands of a newly local shore. Since meeting him Coldseep had come to see Seaspray every day, he was indeed a submarine and joyfully accompanied Seaspray on several swimming excursions. Coldseep would always claim he could make a bubble-ring simply by swimming in a circle fast enough. He never did and would just throw off his balance, even underwater, it was fun though Seaspray often giggled at this antic and promised he’d swim rings inside the bubble when he made it!. Seaspray would point out various local sea life and promised to one day help Coldseep find and see a Warwhale! The two spent so much of their time swimming that it was like a cold slap to the face when Coldseep bounded onto the beach after a dive and ran around, somehow still having the energy to after all their underwater antics. Seaspray came out of the water, but only halfway. “Hey!” Coldseep snapped him out of his moment of silence, “You should come to my place! I can show you some cool shells I found!” “Uh” Seaspray retreated back an inch becoming worried. “Eh? Wha’s wrong? D… don’t you wanna come over?” Coldseep caught his nervous tone and promptly deflated. “No! No! I do!” Seaspray panicked, he didn’t want to upset his first friend of his ‘new life’, or at least that’s what his parental units called it, “I just… I just can’t get out the water…” “Whaaaaaaaaat! Of course you can silly!” Coldseep’s manner flipped like a switch and he returned to grinning. “It’s true! Well, I can barely move when out the water… I hate it… and… and I have to go to the education centre here when it’s b-back open” Seaspray started to sniffle, “An I, I gotta go an… and it’s on land… I don’t” Seaspray flopped to the ground and covered his face, “I’m gonna be a freak! Everyone will laugh!” A long silence ensued between the two children. Seaspray couldn’t bring himself to uncover his face, it only became harder when a weight suddenly pressed upon him. “You’re forgettin’ I go there too! I’ll fight anyone who says meanie-aft things about you! They know I will! It’s how I got sent to the nurse with a bent rotor once!” Coldseep announced with a loud pride that made Seaspray uncurl a little, mostly out of shock at his volume. “Th… thank you” Was all Seaspray could whisper through the tail end of his sniffles. There was a brief silence again. Only this time it got broken by a scream as Coldseep gripped Seaspray’s sides and yanked him out of the water and onto land. Coldseep bellowed with laughter as Seaspray flopped about in a panic trying to get a footing but only wiggling his rear fruitlessly. It took a few more astroseconds of laughter before Coldseep got up and grabbed onto Seaspray. “Hold on buddy, hold on!” Seaspray responded to his words by wrapping his arms around Coldseep’s, “There, not so bad now!”. Seaspray whimpered only just opening his optics to peer around him. “I bet I can help you walk on land just fine! I also totally bet an awesome tub of Energon ice cream that I could even get you running on land too!” Coldseep announced. ---------------- Just like him, brash and loud. Never stood down when he knew he could push on. Seaspray sighed as he clambered over some rocks, nearing the Ocean. He could distinctly remember Coldseep holding his middle and helping him work on his locomotion above water. It still wasn’t graceful but he was able to move on-land with little issue, Seaspray chuckled to himself remembering when the weather turned colder. The ground had gone icy and more compact in various areas, Coldseep had hidden away behind a rock, only to rush him and push him, causing him to slide along the ground. Seaspray allowed himself to let out an actual chuckle, remembering how they had spent entire days sliding around on ice, reaching high speeds, Coldseep often riding on Seasprays back as they whizzed up and down. Tactics he still used to this day, they never failed him. ---------------- The learning room hushed as the one designated to oversee their communal learning held an arm out, presenting another youngster that was to be added to their sector. “This” they announced, “Is Depth Charge. I want you all to welcome them here and make them comfortable”. Depth Charge had blues and purples across his frame and gold accents, yet his red optics scoured the class with cold anger, many of the others in the class avoided their gaze. Coldseep looked over at Seaspray with a cocked optical ridge. “What a nerd” He whispered. “Wha! What do you mean?” Seaspray kept his head ducked down glancing at Coldseep and back to the rest of the room, “He’s scary!” “Nope!” Coldseep grinned, “Watch” The teaching section of the day went quietly, no one really wanted to interact with the angry-looking new kid, but it came to the ‘free’ section of the day. Building bonds with your fellow mech was always a promoted activity, so a good amount of free time to talk and strengthen your social connections even at such a young age was encouraged. Cybertronians are quite social afterall. Coldseep nearly had to drag Seaspray with him to the corner of the yard where Depth Charge sat glaring at everything, but mostly his own pedes. With one last drag Coldseep dropped Seaspray, letting him scuttle behind him to put some distance between himself and the new guy. “Whas’sup nerd?” Coldseep had his hands on his hips and another one of his big grins on his face. “What do you want?” Depth Charge snapped back his optics darting away from the pair so quick they probably should’ve fallen out. “Seaspray here says he’s gonna show me a Warwhale one day!” Coldseep made a slight move to show off the nervously shuffling mech behind him. Depth Charge slowly turned his head around to look at the pair giving a look up and down between the two. “That’s dumb” he grunted, “They don’t live remotely near our waters” “HAH! KNEW IT!” Coldseep suddenly jumped, pointing a triumphant finger at Depth Charge. In response Depth Charge shuffled back and tensed up. “You don’t know anything!” He snapped back. “You’re a neeeeerd” Coldseep lilted, “One of us!” He changed to a chant, “One of us! One of us!” Depth Charge continued to shrink back optics snapping in different directions as if searching for a way out. Seaspray finally managed to pull himself from behind his friend, realising the motion of distress. Closer to him Seaspray had a better view of the panels that spread from Depth Charge’s back. “You’re an aquatic mech too” He uttered. “SO!?” Depth Charge finally snapped his optics down, “Just what my family unit are!” He hissed. “Uh, duh!” Coldseep stopped cheering to roll his optics “So are we! Dum-dum!” A silence fell over their corner and Depth Charge finally seemed to look up and truly take in the pair that stood before him. “Our lot know a lot about sea-stuff! You just have a grumpy face! Plus this is a coastal place!” Coldseep beamed, “Seaspray moved here too! Better suited for us!” Depth Charge seemed to soften up a little bit, which was good because if he got any tenser he looked like he might’ve snapped a few muscle fibres. “Y-yeah” He stammered, “Better than Vos...” “WHOA! You came here all the way from Vos!?” Coldseep immediately glued himself to Depth Charge’s side sitting obnoxiously close to him, “Fliers live there! What was it like? Why’d you move? Isn’t that place super cool!?” Seaspray also moved in, but slower, hoping to appear more normal and less in-your-face than Coldseep who had clearly startled Depth Charge. ------------------------ Seaspray remained perched on a rock looking out at the section of the beach, taking in the salty wind that washed over him. So different from Cybertron, yet, it made him feel more at home. The memories that washed over him with an equally constant flow, his circuits tingled with surges of nostalgia. Depth Charge had moved from Vos due to an altercation at his other learning facility. Apparently he got into frequent trouble with a trio of Seekerlings that also attended that place, he didn’t know their names merely referred to them by colour. The blue one was the oldest, and thought it was funny that he couldn’t fly, only ‘fly’ in water, the red one was the worst, often making snide comments yet able to twist situations to cover his own back, probably, Depth Charge had claimed, to ‘cover’ for how short he was. The purple one was an idiot but tagged along anyway. He’d spotted them teasing another student and tried to defend them, but it didn’t work out and Depth Charge was kicked out for his behaviour. He always lamented not being able to help or protect the other student. “Hmph” Seaspray mused, that was just like Depth Charge. Depth Charge who stood up for them when someone mocked Coldseep’s lively attitude, or Seasprays own awkward gait. The trio almost never left each others side, they were as the humans say ‘thick as thieves’ despite no thievery taking place. It was even Coldseeps idea… he was the one who named them the ‘Sea Seekers’ a trine of the best sea-fairing mechs Cybertron will ever see, or so he’d claim. They were all into it, Depth Charge in his awkward manner had decided to take this as a cue to announce how he’d protect them with his life. Guess that was his way of showing how thankful he was to have them. Protecting others… Seaspray allowed himself a sad flop onto the sand below. Depth Charge always took it personally when he couldn’t defend others… Probably why he was given charge of a peaceful sector that’d refused to take part in the war. Then Rampage came along… The Decepticons unleashed that… thing upon all of Cybertron. It had slaughtered anything in his path… Seaspray curled in slightly, remembering the look on Depth Charge’s face… how hollow he’d become, a hollowness that became filled with hate. He was like a different mech, he scared Seaspray now. Yet, Seaspray refused to leave him they were a trine! Despite Coldseep… they weren’t going to lose each other. They already lost Coldseep, he followed the Decepticons lead. It was odd, Coldseep almost seemed to change into a different mech more and more each time he snuck out to meet them. He’d begged Seaspray and Depth Charge to join him. That Megatron promised to make Cybertron equal for everyone!. It was like Coldseep couldn’t see how Megatron was just taking everything for himself, and merely lived in a fantasy world where all of Megatron's lies were true. It almost broke him when he finally agreed that Megatron wasn’t acting right, he said he was going to leave… he said… It didn’t matter now… Seaspray dragged himself upright and slowly to the Ocean’s edge, the light glittering off it’s surface turning bitter in his mind, churning up bad memories. He tried, oh how he tried, he tried keeping up with Depth Charge after the ‘incident’ but he couldn’t. Depth Charge went to ridiculous lengths to fulfil his desire to fight Rampage. He punched Seaspray when the latter suggested he stop hunting him. Seaspray sucked it up, Depth Charge wouldn’t abandon him if he was in his place! He’d wait until the time was right, until they were ready to accept the help then stand by them all the way! He was all Seaspray had left… his last friend. Then they found Rampage, his trail of destruction easier to follow than initially believed. The fight lasted for barely a few astroseconds, Rampage was too strong for a battalion let alone these two mechs. Depth Charge said he had a plan. Depth Charge told Seaspray to get a head start and he’d join him. Depth Charge lied. Seaspray looked into his reflection in the Ocean, his optics were getting as watery as it’s surface. It was too late. Seaspray didn’t know. Depth Charge had stolen the Energon Destroyer, made by the late scientist Rhinox. He’d taken it and charged Rampage with it. Seaspray didn’t have a chance to react as a Autobot team grabbed him and rushed him away, having discovered the weapon was missing they took Seaspray and fled from the blast. It was like an explosion, but in reverse. The ground broke off in chunks, rising into the air as it crumbled. It was as beautiful as it was vile, the aim of that weapon… horrid. It did its job. Rampage was gone. So was Depth Charge. All that remained was a crater. Tainted by the blast, no life would EVER return to it after such an action. And like that… Seaspray was alone… The water made a quiet sound and Seaspray broke from his minor trance, tears streaking down his face and dropping into the sea. “I miss you guys” he sniffled, lying down and letting the water lap over him and around him. If he pretended hard enough it was as if the two were there, beside him. On the anniversary of them becoming a Trine. --------- Several miles down the beach, a dark and stealthy shape prowled along, looking to the water with a deep longing, yet painful apprehension. Ravage was a Decepticon and never allowed himself to be taken by emotion. Megatron wouldn’t allow that, be it by words, fist or the end of his cannon he would not allow it. Ravage had to be far away from his leader for this… curious emotion to thrum through his damaged Spark with no repercussion. Looking across the landscape he spotted a yellow figure, also at the water's edge. The enemy. THE ENEMY!. Ravage cringed hard, his face plates bunching up as he forced down the raging senseless anger that arose everytime an Autobot neared him. That one. That one was okay. Ravage didn’t know why, but that yellow one was okay. Ravage also had no idea why he felt the compulsion to be here today. Just that for him it held some sort of significance. Settling down to rest Ravage nosed the water, and ignoring the tear that rolled down his face.

Iruma-kun 13 - 14 | Somali 1 | Magia Record 1 | BnHA 75 | Eizouken 1 | Idolish7 s2 1
New season...incoming!
Iruma-kun 13
How did Iruma even notice that collar? Geesh, that kid is perceptive…
This “spitting blood” joke is getting old already…
*Kiriwo starts his machine* - Why do I get the feeling something bad’s about to happen…?
Could you possibly call this “rank is the most important thing” a study of class consciousness, to throw some of Anime Feminist’s words? Or maybe this is a fantasy version of technology and it’s extolling the virtues of technology advancement?! *eyes sparkle*
Can Iruma join Kiriwo already? Please?!
Aw, dear darling! (<- I’m not sure if I’ve said that a lot in these notes, but I say that when I get the warm fuzzies and wanna protect a character…basically, platonic love, I guess…? Oh, “moe instinct” - that’s the words I’m looking for.) Iruma, go and live your best life, okay?
Thank you, story! Even though I knew it was being foreshadowed so heavily by being the focus of basically 24 minutes of this show’s runtime (= about 1 ep), I thank you from the bottom of my heart that Iruma went to the right Battler.
Wait, so Ameri is actually Iruma’s senpai by one year?! Hmm? I never realised that and I read some spoilers!
I like this new chibi animation style! Yay!
I never noticed this until now, but Kiriwo has one big horn and one little one.
I think the title, aside from the pronunciation of “Thirteen Dinner”, is meant to mean “The Thirteen Counts’ Gathering” (or some other high rank) or something of the sort. Update: So I checked and the character used, kanmuri/kan, is used to mean “crown” or someone who wears a crown, i.e. a peerless person, so it would be appropriate to translate that using the term for a high rank which is presumably going to be stated in the segment itself.
Turns out Babel…is just makaitou (the demon world tower). I don’t think it’s really Babylonian in any strict sense.
Depending on where you live, the 665th floor could count as the 666th or…well, the 665th. I know in Japanese, the word for the floor on the ground is ikkai (first floor)…I’m not going to tell you what I know it as though…that would reveal my location outside cyberspace, no?
According to the katakana, the guy’s name is Beruzebyuto (hence the translation as “Beelzebuth”). Beelzebub is the Lord of the Flies and a quick google tells me Beelzebul (close enough) was apparently an alternate spelling for him (or something like that…?). Patron demon of gluttony.
Astaroth, also a demon (king of rot, I think it was from Blue Exorcist)…interestingly, Beelzebub, Lucifer and Astaroth make up an unholy trio and all of them were referred to by a dude called...Solomon (which does kinda sound like “Sullivan”, if you think about it). There’s the connection between these guys…I like his top, too.
Asmodeus, patron demon of lust. We already knew that demon was represented through Azz-Azz, but now you see a spoiler I’ve been hiding for a while – Azz’s mother.
Amaimon…uh, I don’t remember what kind of demon he is in the demonic canon but I know him from Blue Exorcist.
Behemoth…?
Ooh, Ameri’s father is smokin’ hot! (Dangit, I do not want DILFs…) Azazel, a fallen angel and apparently personification of uncleanliness(…?)
Belial and (Lady) Leviathan, which we already knew existed from initial namedrops.
Who’s Baal? Even I have no idea…Update: Apparently he’s a Middle Eastern equivalent to Zeus, which explains his thunder allegiance.
Paimon kinda looks like Chaika, LOL.
LOL, “lifehack” is certainly the right word for it, Sullivan.
LOL, Belial is so short!
Although it’s kind of awkward to not see Lady Levi take a position of power for herself, it’s nice to see she has spirit!
Aw, this is cute. In much the same way I wanted Iruma to join the magical apparatus Battler, I want Sullivan to be Demon King.
Is Opera perhaps related to Ameri somehow…?
Somali 1
I was hoping to get to Plunderer, but got carried away writing another post and then lost the ability to watch both episode 1 and 2 ahead of schedule. So Somali is the new start of the season, but the last relic of the fact Plunderer was meant to start my season (outside ID: Invaded’s advance premiere) is the visual I have for this season. (Oh yeah, one of the reasons I’m supporting this – aside from it being a mid-ranker on my hype list – is that I heard a French animator, a friend of Thomas Romain, is getting his big start here.)  
“Dad.” – Oh, f***. I have myself an Usagi Drop. I knew I was going to get something of the sort going into this show, but…Usagi Drop’s experiences (or rather, watching the anime knowing the manga has that ending) have left their mark. Not to mention Somali (as this girl will come to be known) has Latina eyes, which annoys me even more since I dropped that on the basis of being scarred by Usagi Drop.
I’m wondering what Crunchyroll was thinking when they decided to coproduce this – sure, it’s probably quite cute and wholesome, but I’m far from the target audience. Did they think, “Is this what Western audiences will like?” Sure, it would hit a niche that likes this surrogate father/daughter stuff, but I don’t think it’s for me (and I’ve been thinking that all through the OP). I’ll give it a bit more to wow me, but it’s doing pretty terrible so far (because note all other anime of this particular reputation I’m more on the “neutral” side than the “like” one). Somali’s voice is probably the biggest factor – it sounds like an adult woman’s voice got pitch-shifted to attempt to be a child, rather than an actual child.
How can this golem talk about sight when he doesn’t even have eyes??? (Kinda like Juzo from NGL.)
Alright, that’s it. I can see when you’re trying to bait me with supposedly “cute” children, show. You’re gone.
Okay, since I have time and the reviews say otherwise, I’m trying again. I don’t expect to be sold to this though…
Was it just me or was there a reduced frame rate when Somali’s cape was the only thing in the frame…?
For some reason the subbers put “Why?” when the word was actually “What?”, which is a bit silly to be honest with you. (Nande?/Doushite? vs. Nani?...it’s kind of similar-sounding, but the sound is distinctly different.)
Still dropping this show. I just have another episode to add to my list now.
Magia Record 1
I heard there’s no Urobutcher this time around, but the first time I encountered the Urobutcher (in ConRevo) he made a particularly weird-feeling (in the context of the show) episode, so…uh…let’s say the Urobutcher is only as good as the material he writes, and leave it at that. Anyways, this topped my list – even before ID: Invaded came to hunt down that top position – so this better be good.
Um, am I just imagining it, or is that Sayaka and Hitomi discussing magical girls (or Madoka?) over the top of Iroha (I know that’s her name already from the synopses floating around the ‘net) and her fellow magical girls fighting?
Letterboxing? Now there’s something I thought I’d never see in Madoka Magica, ever.
One of the books was on organic recipes.
The teacher talks a tad too fast – I can understand what she’s saying, but it’s like she operates on x1.5 speed compared to the x1 speed of everything else…
“Nakama – because we can do it” – I wonder if that will mean something later…? In Madoka Magica, strange details always mean something.
“The only good witch is a dead one!” “Speech is silver, silence is golden.”– The tiny English isn’t particularly subtle, is it?
Uwasa = rumour.
Takarazaki, huh? I’ll make a note of that.
Who’s Ui?
According to the credits, I assume the blue spear girl is Nanami Yachiyo.
This is a respectable re-entry into a universe which I left not too long ago (in 2017). I’m definitely going to be able to stick with it for a season or however long it lasts.
BnHA 75
All this talk about a database…reminds me of the Quirk I designed for the wiki (also called “Database”). I conceived it in 2015, but I don’t remember who was meant to use it before I retrofitted it to fit the BnHA universe. Update: Welp, I found the document. The superpower Database (which was retrofitted to be a Quirk) is for one Itsuki Hatano.
“One blow to the top of the head!”
Iruma-kun 14
(Note: Some notes may be missing because I was busy multitasking while watching this episode.)
Go, Iruma! Live your best life!
Note “speak of the devil” isn’t how it’s said in Japanese. It sounds something like “whisper a rumour and it will come back to you” based on what I heard Kiriwo say (since I heard the word uwasa in there). Update: Apparently the phrase is uwasa wo sureba… (if you spead a rumour…) and then you cut the saying off to finish the rest of the sentence, just like you would in English.
You can’t even see a substantial part of Iruma’s hair when that demon on the phone (<-I know who it is, because I read spoilers, but I’ll keep quiet on that front!) yells for the first time.  
Makura (demon pillow) has that demon pun going on.
Ooh, Kiriwo-senpai is actully kinda sexy with his hair up like that…not that I know the first thing about sex appeal…
So is the ED about the Battler Party, in a sense?
Eizouken 1
I picked this show up because of the rave reviews it was getting.
Very Future Boy Conan, that.
…what? That OP was trippy. Then again, I didn’t mind ConRevo and that was trippy…this negative feeling is probably because I don’t know much about Masaki Yuasa’s quirks, I guess.
Why do people not translate “Eizouken”???? It means “video research club”.
The back is a good spot to sit in a theatre for anime. Why do I know this? I sit in the back of my anime club all the time, that’s why!
“Are those MiBs?” – I laughed pretty hard at that one sentence.
Why does this strawberry milk seem to be a parallel to the milk Asakusa promised Kanamori? (P.S. Asakusa is in Tokyo, IIRC.) Update: Mizusaki means “on top of water” if I understood the kanji right and Kanamori, with the right combo of characters, can mean “forest of gold”...which makes a lot of sense, considering how gold is equated with wealth and currency. Also, here’s proof Asakusa is in Tokyo...not to mention it’s the place from Sarazanmai! Meanwhile, I was thinking there was some sort of anime-related significance to the name, but I was thinking of Asagaya.  Update 2: Mizusaki actually means “water peninsula”. Sorry, wrong saki.
I know there’s a chase scene at the end of this ep, thanks to reading reviews. I want to be wowed by it, which is why I’m (metaphorically) holding my breath.
I like how Asakusa and Mizusaki are bouncing around ideas. That really brings the process to life.
Long skirts and wind but no sexualisation. That’s a good sign!
Whoa, that scene with the comets was AWESOME! I want more!
Idolish7 s2 1
Back with some good boys one season too early…let’s have some fun while these simulcasters can get this stuff fast!
Oh no! (<- self-censored) Nagi’s stupid accent is back! *yells incoherently for a second*
I like the little sound effects that happened whe Nagi’s finger moved around (to suggest “magic”).
I think the joke was something to do with the word gera (?). I don’t quite get it myself.
Misuta- Shimooka, LOL. I love how this s2 isn’t doing any hand-holding, though! I half-expect a flashback to appear and it never does.
Yamato, how are you so-*crying and Yatta! can be heard in the background*Okay, nevvvvvvvvvver mind…
I remember mistakenly saying that Nishiyama was part of Idolish7 (since I looked through some of my old notes lately). Nishiyama is part of ZOOL, so now…I’m not wrong anymore…(That’s not quite relevant to the random announcement of Re:Vale showing up, but it’s on my mind now.)
Hmm…Yamato’s thoughts on Re:Vale…I’ll keep an eye on him.
I think people like Tamaki because he treats them like he would his little sister…a true gentleman. Or maybe that’s all in my head? I haven’t been in the fandom properly, y’know.
This switch to occasional chibi antics…I’m not sure I like it…
Ohmyglob! Another boy to add to my growing list of husbandos! *points at Yuki* I knew he existed, but I haven’t had a proper chance to have a reaction to him ever since I started really “having a thing” for long-haired guys.
Re:Vale are like a comic act (manzai).
Momo has pink nail polish…I just noticed. Update: It’s probably more red than pink.
“Chan-momo” appears to be a variety of modern slang similar to Pig Latin. Apparently Gen from Dr Stone uses it as well.
Yuki has these cute little diamond earrings and Momo has studs. I’ve also never noticed this until now. (I, myself, can’t wear anything past clip-ons because I have a genetic quirk that makes it annoying to get my ears pierced, called beta thalassemia, so I can only fangirl about other people’s earrings.)
What’s the FSC again…?
Kyu-to aidoru!
I think Momo and Yuki are going to reach out to Mitsuki and Tamaki (respectively) most this season…just a feeling, based on their dispositions. Tamaki and Yuki have similar faces, on top of that, so thank goodness we can tell them apart by hairstyle.
Yuki wears this steel blue shade of nail polish…ooh, also cute.
*Riku goes stiff-faced* - *audibly facepalms at Riku’s reaction*
Momo has a black and green earring set on one ear…huh.
Ooh, very nice. It’s a keeper.
Update: Apparently, you pronounce their name “Re:ba-re”, which is a bit different to what I was expecting (essentially “Re: veil”).

Oh my god, I’m digging through old files on my backup harddrive and I found this dream from 2011 in which me, @antialiasis, and a baby dragon are on the run from The King of Everything.  It is absolutely batshit and I love it:
Okay, so for some reason I was hanging out with Dragonfree.  What the hell, subconscious?  Why do you always stick my online acquaintances into my dreams?  (I think it’s a side effect of that time in my life where all I had were online friends and the fanfic forum was pretty much my entire life, even though that was like 6 years ago.)  But at least this time it sort of makes sense—I’ve been working on an off on the Ouen dragons piece a lot lately, adding little touches here and there when I’m bored, so people often ask me what it is, so I frequently launch into explanations of, “Oh hey there’s this writer with a cool fanfic, and I’m doing fanart of it.”  “Hey what’s it about?”  “Well, it’s kind of hard to explain the plot because it’s basically an awesome reworking of silly ideas from when she was 12.” “ROFL THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOU.” “Erm….yeah.  -_-“
Okay then, random tangent aside I was hanging out with Dragonfree I guess.  No explanation given.  At least my dream self wanted an explanation, though never actually got one.  I was at my home house instead of my school house which makes slightly more sense (If I were European I’d sooner visit the US East coast/NY area than the friggin Midwest.)
Kay, I swear the plot was awesomely detailed and amazing but now it is starting to sound really silly and I’m not sure why I’m writing it down. Dangit.  It started out like...pretty mediocre at my house (or what was supposed to be my house but looked nothing like it, what.)  I think there was some subplot involving something going wrong with her website (some of the layouts weren’t working which was apparently a sign of someone currently stealing things from it?  What??? Also one of the styles was really cool and best described as a matrix Articuno.  YES.)  I dunno. And then there was a hilarious part where my sister walked though the kitchen into the computer room and said something like “When did Beth get here?”  And I’m like “Wtf, that’s not Beth.”  But then I walked into the room and it was. (So now Beth was somehow at my house too?  How did all these people get here?)  Dragonfree was in fact back in the kitchen on the computer that was for some reason there (no, not my laptop…a random desktop in the kitchen), and Beth did not appear for the entire rest of the dream. *shrug*  Though amusingly at this point I wondered, “Hey since this isn’t the internet, should I call you Dragonfree or by your real name?”  but never actually asked it.  So I went the whole dream without addressing her by any name (not as weird as it sounds—I don’t use people’s names often.)
But all of this random crap quickly derailed into something involving DRAGONS HOLY CRAP.  Okay, so I actually can’t remember how the dragons plotline started dang.  I think there were like, different types of dragons (one for each element?  This was completely unrelated to Pokémon, however. In fact, I don’t think anything Pokémon ever came up, other than that random bit about her site.  I don’t have Pokémon dreams often.  What the hell, subconscious.)  I think we had the earth dragon or something except I guess it was a baby.  And then like, the queen of the world ordered the dragons (she had a lot of them I think) to kill people, except each dragon’s power was only effective on certain people, and the Earth dragon was supposed to kill us.  I think I ran and hid in a bush (yeah…because that would save me from the elemental dragon…) but since the Earth dragon was just a baby its power didn’t kill us (and I was confused about why the other dragons’ attacks didn’t hurt because I didn’t know about the whole only-effective-on-certain-people thing).  So then I emerged from my hiding place and I think a lot of time had gone by because I saw the events in a slow, limited-animation cutscene type thing (hey…sorta like that game concept art my group’s been planning.)  Well the earth dragon was now an adult.  I met up with Dragonfree at some sort of dessert table where a servant was putting together sweets for the king.  Things like chocolate covered pretzels and bananas. I guess I felt like trolling the king or something, so I stole one of the chocolate bananas, and then we ended up having the guards sent after us (yeah, way to go dream self.)  We hopped on a train (like an old style steam engine) except it was rather small, and intended for little kids.  Well lo and behold my youngest sister was there.  We rode on the train for a bit until my sister climbed on top to check something and was doing it all very not-carefully like someone who has totally climbed on top of a train and started opening hatches a hundred times in their life.  Well something went wrong and then she fell off and got tangled in some vines and then the train tried to go through an insanely small tunnel and started shrinking, so we had to get off.  And then we found the earth dragon!  Except he was a baby again OKAY THEN.
(Thus far there hasn’t been much dialogue only because I can’t remember it.  Everyone was actually talking a lot more than this implies. They weren’t all just standing there.) Also I think I spent most of the dream wondering when Dragonfree was going to go back home.  Because “oh yeah we’re on adventure and running for our lives, but hey please don’t leave in the middle of all this I wanna hang out some more.” Uh huh.  This makes even less sense when you consider that there are no countries and the king of everything is after us.
Well this time the queen was there with the guards so we ran away into this sort of maze of stairs vaguely like a kids’ play area except kind of more serious business.  Some of the stairs were in fact escalators that were broken down, and others were so small that we had to slide down then and we were doing pretty good at avoiding the guards.  We all regrouped and figured out a way onto the third floor, at which point we were feeling pretty clever, but then WE RAN INTO THE QUEEN OH SNAP.  But she was actually on our side the whole time! I think this made more sense in the dream (maybe she knew the earth dragon wouldn’t kill us with its attack? But what about all the people killed by the king’s fire dragon?)  Well she did something to the stair area to prevent the guards from getting through while she made a deal with us.  So then we had the queen with us, yay?
We were now heading up a mountain!  I have no idea what we were looking for at the top.  Except first we had to go though some sort of summer-camp type area, where they made us go though inspection (okay?)  This involved pushing us under streams of water which I thought were going to be freezing but were actually kind of warm.  Kay then.  During the next part we were all in a building (at the camp I guess) and a bunch of the campers were watching tv. At this point I thought to myself “Hey it’s weird how this dream is still continuing even though I’m awake.” WHAT?  So I thought this part was real, but I was still dreaming it…even though it was real?  Now, there have been times I’ve been able to continue a dream while awake and have it actually fit in the dream, as opposed to the lame crap you usually try to add to a dream shortly after awakening until you realize “wait my logic works now and this is stupid.”  But anyways…I think around this point was I finally going to ask Dragonfree, “Hey we’ve been running all over a crazy kingdom all day and I’m still not sure what to call you since this isn’t the internet and all.”  But at that point I woke up.  Well…damn.  I mean, it’s better than when you have a dream end at a super-suspenseful point (since we were kind of just wasting time at a camp and I don’t even think the earth dragon was with us anymore).  But still I felt the need to go run and grab my laptop and start writing all this down and highly confusing my roommates in the process.
And holy crap LOOK HOW MUCH I WROTE IN HALF AN HOUR.  Why can’t I write my fic this fast?

2.4 Reaction
Rules:
Q = Me, Quonit.
BF = Bardic Feline, the friend that made me spend 30 dollars on the game and whom I am messaging
I don’t use those when I send the messages close enough my username doesn’t appear.
Any typos (unless they are funny and part of the conversation) will be fixed.
x Notes x
This case is why i bought the game. I comment on it a lot more than the others so it is much longer.
Index
:moments after completing 2.3:
Q: I CAN PLAY FARWELL MY TURNABOUT NOW
Q: dammit you're probably asleep
what is this
who is me
nobody cut the moon in half that's silly
where is the murder
where is Juan
WHERE IS EDGY
Q: hi powers!
BF: hahaha no I'm awake
Q: yay!
I am very excited
hi pearl!!!
BF: and you've actually already seen Juan, he just hasn't been named as such
Q: ???
what???
well ill have to figure it out
BF: I'll give you a hint: he was one of the dude's on stage
BF: one of the competing hero guys
Q: interesting!
I'm not old I just have a different taste.
BF: hahah it's not hard the game is about to tell you anyway
Q: pearly why :(
alright!
BF: PEARL THE MERCILESS
Q: SHE IS!!!
AND I AM RAISING HER APPARENTLY!!!
bright red guitar... Juan!
BF: hahah WELL SOMEONE HAS TO, HER MOM IS IN JAIL AND HER DAD NOWHERE IN SIGHT
and yep
Q: :D wait no he's gonna die :(
BF: SADLY, YES
the ceremony was the closest you come to actually seeing him alive during the game! Not counting flashback shots.
Q: AND I WILL DRAW HIM NOT NOT HIS FORM THE LADYVERSE
Juan x Sha is weird Like Juan is a character that does nothing in a lawyer game that Zarla got attached to. Years later, due to an accidental pallet share of two jerks one form lawyer game and one from some weird zombie game, she decided to add Juan. THEN you were interested in him and Zarla drew him a bit more, THEN YOU ADOPTED THIS VERSION OF HIM. NEXT WE HAVE TO GO INTO THE HISTORY BEHIND SHA. This time he's an original character that you for some reason decided "Hey! I like this character, and I like the curedverse, he'd do good in there sense he already has one scar!" and because you were already attached to this weird Juan person, you decided to have them both know eachother. AND THEN YOU SHIPPED IT AND WROTE FANFICTION THIS SHIP IS WEIRD
i wonder if Powers and Gumshoe would get along
matt!!!
MATT
MATT
I FORGOT OTHERS ARE HERE TOO
Q: THERE WILL BE MATT, THAT ONE BROWN HAIRED GIRL, AND BLOND ANGIE
FRICK
BF: hahahaha THAT'S....LEAVING SOME DETAILS OUT BUT YES, IT IS A WEIRD SHIP WITH A WEIRD HISTORY
Q: With details it makes it weirder
BF: Actually, Sha's involvement is even weirder than all of that
Q: i wanna hear more! I've only done a little research on Sha so I don't know much... Fire mage OC. At one point you thought about why people default to male so you contemplated Sha's gender. That is all I know.
white scarf red guitar I like Juan :(
BF: Okay, so there's a DIFFERENT fic I did in the earlier days of Lady Fandom that's basically...they characters become aware they are characters in a story and end up in a place full of characters from OTHER stories who are ALSO aware of their own fictional nature (and it actually allows Hunter and Smoker to bond more in the end)
Q: and so matt killed him
I THINK I READ THAT. They went to some bar and it was Zarla's mind and there were all of her OC's (or adopted characters) and a DDR machine.
BF: During the course of the night, Smoker has a conversation with a handful of my OCs, one of who happens to be Sha and they strike up an odd friendship. and yes, DDR
Q: :O I need to read that again.
Also Matt sucks
BF: ANYWAY, one of the rules of the metaworld is that characters in it can pop in an out of other universes, but a lot of times visiting another place means getting forced into its narratives and being forced to conform to its rules.
Q: I wonder what your metaworld looks like... 
 I wanted to like him (Matt) at least a little bit but then I thought back to the few comics I saw and he sucks Zarla made an AU where they date and it's terrible for Juan and now I hate it more >:(
BF: So if you have magic in your own universe and go visit a place that doesn't have it, you know longer have magic while you are THERE
Q: huh!
BF: Awwwww
POISONED THE MATT WELL EARLY
Q: IM GOING TO TRY AND LIKE HIM
BF: this is going to be interesting
Q: and that is why i decided to show my reaction
time to flash my badge at everyone before i go to the hallway
alright now to the hallway
BF: ANYWAY, so I started (but never got far into) a scenario where Sha and his friends decide to pop in on Hunter and Smoker just to see what their world is actually LIKE for some reason and they basically get sucked into the zombie apocalypse and all three end up infected
Q: very interesting
do you have drafts for that fanfic still haha
BF: here’s where it gets weird. in that little scenario, I imagine them getting out or getting rescued or something and being majorly shaken up by the experience...
Q: huh... I would read this!
I wanna continue but I know if I do time will move and Juan will die
Dangit
i have no choice now
BF: but then I went on to do a thing (only the first part) where a team of Assholes (Griffin, Sparkles, Mousey and...because I needed to fill out the team and he was available...I wasn't that interested in him yet...Juan) find zombie Sha where he'd holed up
Q: ORIGINAL PLANS
BF: (basically one of his teammates locked him in a room when he felt himself starting to turn as a last ditch attempt to protect him. it...failed.)
Q: Game stuff: Dangit the ceremony is starting and Juan is gonna get killed
Q: POOR JUAN
Q: POOR JUAN SERIOUSLY I MISS HIM ALREADY
BF: So TEAM ASSHOLE finds Witch Sha and through sheer luck they manage to capture him alive instead of killing him or being killed
Q: THANKFULLY AFTER THIS IS OVER I CAN HOPEFULLY READ ABOUT AN AU WHERE HE LIVES
THAT ISN'T FULL OF EMOTIONAL ABUSE
RIGHT???
RIGHT????
I think I remember something about that... not sure where I read it but I remember that!
BF: and they decide to put him on a leash and take him with them because Male Witch, that's weird, maybe some medical examiner will be interested in this or something right
BF: I didn't write past them leashing him up and taking him away BUT fast forward and Zarla started the Cured AU
Q: I remember them arguing about it or something... but I remember thinking this:
"Juan meet your new boyfriend"
I don't remember seeing past that in the fan fic. Where the heck did i see it?
BF: And I basically ALREADY had Sha lined up as a witch at that point, so it was easy enough to just jump forward to him being a Cured.
Q: ...I should go to the hotel lobby…
...BUT I DON'T WANT TO!!!
interesting!
BF: hahaha.
Q: help me go to the hotel lobby
...BUT I DON'T WANT TO!!!
interesting!
BF: hahaha.
Q: help me go to the hotel lobby
BF: DID YOU EXAMINE EVERYTHING IN THE HALLWAY WHILE YOU COULD
Q: i can't press A I feel too bad
BF: YOU HAVE TO PROGRESS
Q: NO I DIDN'T ILL GO DO IT NOW
BF: YOU MUST
Q: NO I MUST EXAMINE EVERYTHING IN THE HALLWAY
BF: Hehehe
all the flowers in front of Juan's door
Q: dangit I already have everything in here
ya... It's like they know his funeral is coming
Q: the Japanese text, going by Google translation of it, suggested that some of the flowers were from SIBLINGS of his
Q: NO
SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE HIM
I CAN'T KILL HIM
D:
BF: the English translation just says Family, but the Japanese suggested he has siblings we never get to meet
I LIKED TO IMAGINE HIM WITH A BUNCH OF SISTERS
Q: I THOUGHT I WANTED TO PLAY THIS BUT I DON'T
I DON'T WANNA KILL JUAN
BF: YOU MUST IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EVERYONE
Q: ...I guess i have too...
Q: but-but I like Juan mroe than everyone else!!!
BF: it's an interesting plot!
Q: alright imma go
im going
Q: dammit
I PRESSED A I AM SCARED
BF: You can do iiiiit
Q: Juan please
please don't make me feel too guilty...
SHIT HE'S ALREADY DEAD???
BF: hahah that said, when you get through, the closest thing we have to happy Juan stuff right now is some stuff I did for Alt 2-4 future settings
and the Frozen AU.
Q: I wanna read those instead :(
BF: Juan is comparatively better off in the Frozen AU.
Q: Juan is dead...
he is dead :(
BF: Now if you want one that will TEAR YOUR HEART OUT AND STOMP ON IT, read Somebody That I Used to Know
Q: D:
BF: but only after this case hahah
it's like a perspective change on the events of this case.
Q: Soon i will unlock what I bought this game for

WELL YA HE'S MATT
LET'S TALK ABOUT JUAN
what is that picture
what
BF: Fun fact: in the stage play version of this case (which, sadly, did not get an official translation anywhere because it actually gives Juan some lines and it makes him into the MOST ADORABLE DORK YOU HAVE EVER SEEN), and the anime version of this case both give Lotta's role to LARRY
Q: Do you recommend the anime???
MATT SUCKS
THAT PICTURE MAKES HIM LOOK NOT AS EVIL AS HE IS
BF: It has it's good points and it's bad.
Q: alright, I was wondering if at one point I should try watching some of it
BF: the art can be wonky as hell at points, and it feels oddly fast paced because it tries to cram all of the first and second games into one 24 episode season
Q: ??? why would they make it 24 minuets!! That was a bad choice.
BF: 1-5 and 2-1 don't get adapted at ALL (which kind of make sense but)
24 EPISODES
Q: WHAT
this is a weird anime
they should try again but better
BF: HOWEVER they add a whole flashback episode between 1-4 and 2-2 showing Edgey, Pheonix, and Larry as little kids
Q: :O I WANNA WATCH IT
Q: they ramp up the subtext between Phoenix and Edgeworth quite a bit
and they make the silly court dramatics even more over the top
Q: I might enjoy that..
yessss
maybe at one point I'll look at it, it sounds like something I may find funny.
BF: and they did a lot to reduce the parts of 2-3 that people didn't like.  (they cut out nearly all of the stuff with people chasing Regina for instance)
Q: Dangit the episodes should've been longer
BF: and they put more emphasis on how the whole circus gang ultimately comes together in the end in spite of their differences.
Q: dangit. Well hopefully it's nice enough.../
BF: More emphasis on Regina realizing that she'd done something wrong and hurt someone, even if it had been an accident
and it kept the fun parts, like Phoenix having to fight a monkey to get his badge back hahah
Q: Gumshoe we're not rivals we're friends
right?
BF: heheh oh Gumshoe
Q: The anime does sound like something I'd enjoy, I'll check it out at some point
BF: SO ULTIMATELY I LIKED THE ANIME BUT IT HAD IT'S ISSUES AND IT WAS WEIRDLY PACED
Q: ALRIGHT
I should record my live reaction to that too haha
BF: on the other hand, it confirmed, after all of these years, the color of Juan's jacket
Q: It's still probably wishful thinking but I still think that one of them saw maybe a snippet of one of Zarla's comics and maybe even just subconsciously used that to make the decision that it was the exact same shade of blue.
WHATEVER
Q: aww man gumshoe do you need some money to buy some fruit maybe
Q: How do I progress I'm stuck with gumshoe, talked about him with everything, and showed him everything
nowhere else has updated
KIWI
Q: Dangit i wanna progress
Q: oh hey a conversation topic i missed
MATT WAS ARRESTED FOR EXISTING OF COURSE
BF: hahaha of course.
Q:
Tumblr media
BF: hahaaahaha
Q: I DON'T WANNA DEFEND MATT
DANGIT HOW TO I PROGRESS
hey the lobby updated!
I'll defend Matt if there is somebody worse like a serial killer around
Q: why is the radio person >:(
who
crap mything is beeping
ya im here... what do you want from me...
WHO KILLED MAYA
Q: OH MY GOD THERE IS A SERIAL KILLER HERE
HAHAHAHA
BF: MAYA ISN'T DEAD hahahah
Q: OH MY GOD
i know but
THERE IS A SERIAL KILLER HAAHAHAHA
BF: also this game seriously misuses the term 'serial killer"
lololol no this guy is an ASSASSIN, there's a difference. XD
Q: OH MY GOD
WHAT THE HECK
Q: I SAID I WOULD ONLY DEFEND MATT IF THERE WAS SOMEBODY LIKE A SERIAL KILLER AROUND
OH MY GOD HAHAHAHA
WELL MATT YOU'RE WITH ME NOW
BF: (I say it misuses the term cause they kept calling Joe Dark in 1-5 a serial killer...but he was more like a spree killer. If you use a really liberal definition of THAT word.)
YOU GOTTA SAVE MAYA
Poor Phoenix
Q: (True, i was misusing it)
NO I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE PERSON WOULD APPEAR I JUST SAID IF THERE WAS A MURDERER AROUND THAT WASN'T HIM I WOULD DEFEND HIM AND THERE IS AND IT'S SO FUNNY
but ya... Pheonix is having a bad time...
Q: i think this is just so funny
HOW DID I GUESS
de killer isn't a name it's a title.
Q: PHOENIX I HAD A DEAL THAT IS ANOTHER KILLER WAS AROUND I WOULD PROVE MATT INNOCENT, AND BY SOME UNSPEAKABLE CHANCE THERE WAS SOMEBODY. MATT IS INNOCENT.
hey we're not at the perspective is Phoenix
this is weird
oh so the bulter is the person who did it
BF: hahaha IT'S ALWAYS THE BUTLER ISN'T IT
Well, nothing else for it, you gotta defend Matt!
Q: I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT JOKE
I am still shocked
BF: hahaha isn't this case great already?
Q: IT IS
BF: it gets you from the very start!
Q: Juan is dead :(
it does i love it
BF: POOR JUAN
Q: poor Juan indeed... but ZARLA ADOPTED HIM SO EVERYTHING IS OKAY
Q: SOMETIMES
oh my god
MATT WHAT THE HELL
Well uh hi I'm Phoenix and for some reason you look a bit too innocent.
nope I don't like him
Q: you know what I'll like him
for somebody's sake I'm not sure who's but it isn't Maya's
Q: matt probably can think and if he can he thinks evil thoughts
Q: baby powder that's it
I was trying to figure out what he reminded me of
Q:
Me: :shows picture of Juan: Matt: Man, too bad he's dead TOO BAD GEEZ WELL I GUESS THAT'S TOO BAD THAT HE DIED WELL I GUESS IM FIND NOW HOOPDEEDOO
Q:
Matt: So apparently that warrant does exist after all Phoenix: Ladies and gentlemen I think we may be making some progress here! Phoenix is my favorite character not only because I'm allowed to project myself onto him but because half of the time I don't need to
Q: 
Matt: Don't let some disemboweled voice boss you around Yes tell me more about this because you believe so strongly I shouldn’t
I can't believe this is the same matt
nooo don't gooo
I don't know if I hate the matt I saw from the comics or this matt more eh they'll collide eventually I know it
Q: Mr. Juan
dangit
Q: crap ya you're right you're both 21
Q: :D
YA THE MAGIC ROCK
:O
he is innocent! INTERESTING
BF: THE PLOT THICKENS
Q: BUT
BF: hahaha I love the line about disembodied voices
coming from the guy who's constantly calling someone or another for advice
Q: UH HUH PLEASE TELL ME WHY I SHOULDN'T LISTEN SENSE YOU THINK SO STRONGLY NOT TO
Q: wait frick I am projecting onto phoenix
oh well :/
oh ya i forgot about save points
Q: FINALLY WE TELL PEARL THAT WE AREN'T DATING
BF: hahaaha
I DO LIKE HOW SARCASTIC NICK CAN BE
Q:
Pearl: nick! stop it! don't hide your feelings from me!
Fine Pearl I’m gay
(sorry crackship I think it's fun)
yaaay that should continue MORE SARCASTIC NICK
too the hotel!! I remember this date it wasn't even that long ago...
SHE IS FAN OF JUAN IM ON HER SIDE NOW
Q: Phoenix Juan is good!!!
Q: It's an hour past when I should sleep but I have no reason to today
but should I stay up
Q: wow 4 locks a new record
Q: Lotta help me!!!
why i thought you liked me lotta
finally a pun with Lotta's name. I was waiting for that.
Q: Oh come on Lotta!!! Everybody please stop lying to me!!! Why is Matt the best one here???
HEY I CAN GO INTO THE HOTEL ROOMS NOW
I need to sleep...
but I wanna snoop though people's stuff...
flipping a coin one moment
BF: hahahaaha
Q: heads is play tails is sleep
where is a coin
BF: THE ROOMS WILL STILL BE THERE IN THE MORNING
Q: BUT- BUT I WANNA PLAY NOW MOOOOM
I hid my wallet somewhere and I can't find it
BF: uh oh
Q: this is bad
BF: where do you remember last having it?
Q: I remember hiding it somewhere in the desk
Q: but this is a big denk
BF: hmmm
but it's got to be in their S
OMEWHERE
Q: Somebody might've stolen it though
they're in this house but dammit
BF: So you can start by checking the most obvious drawers and stuff, like the ones you'd open first without even thinking
Also you can go through and straighten stuff up
Q: cleaning gets you to find stuff
BF: exactly!
Q: I really wanted to find my wallet but I found a penny so I flipped it and it said tails and I am upset.
BF: awwwww
Q: Case is interesting, I'm sad he died, I think Matt is fake and he actually is evil, Maya is fine, Peal needs better parents, Lotta finally gets a name pun, Gumshoe is suspicious and I DON'T WANNA FIGHT EDGY IN COURT BECAUSE IF i WIN THEN HE'LL HATE ME FOREVER BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE'LL BE THE PROSECUTION ER BUT HE PROBABLY IS AND I'M SCARED I JUST WANNA BE FRIENDS
Q: I'll drop the game but I'm talking to you till I can get the other stuff I need done done.
Q: The anime sounds like something I'd probably like. Sure flaws and weird poses but I make fun of the poses and all of the other stuff sounds great
My biggest problem sounds like the timing... but I can probably live with that if I find it funny enough
Q: i didnt say much cool now I can sleep. Also hope house is good. This case's summery is "The plot thickens."
BF: haha okay
Q: Yesterday I thought "okay even if Matt didn't kill Juan this guy doesn't feel like the person who would constantly argue with him"
Oh hey I can go to the detention center again
Matt for you I will let just sign and ask what you we
Q: You want. I don't like you but I'm game I don't have a reason to hate you get
YET
Q: Well I don't have anything else to say to him so whatever. More looking.
Q: Oh ya I can look in the rooms!!!
BF: yessss
Go snoop in the roooms do it
Q: Look at all of the bears... His family must be liked him a lot :(
Hi gumshoe. I'm mad at you right now.
BF: Family, fans...
Q: Poor phoenix... Thanks gumshoe for asking
Q: I wanna give him a teddy bear!
Thank you gumshoe!!!!!
Pearl gotta map!
Don't worry pearl I'll read it for you
Dead Juan picture :( I want a picture of alive Juan
Q: I feel really bad for this juan... I hope one of the characters does too
Matt was set up, as much as I hate to admit it
Q: ya well if Franz tried to hurt you gumshoe I will kill her... But sadly I can't
Q:
Gumshoe: listen here pearl. Never pick up a whip, OK? Don't even think about it
Best advice in the game
Q: Awww well what kind of stuffed animal should I given Juan if he doesn't actually like teddy bears?
BF: lol, honestly, given how many he has and how cluttered his room is right then, i'm willing to believe that teddy tumbled into the waste basket by mistake
how many he HAS bleh
Q: I thought that may be the case too
Crap Franz is here
Well gumshoe I think I found all I need to and I really don't want you to be caught by Franz
Q: I still have Matt's room to search but now I am scared Franz is a there
Q: IT'S BLOND ANGIE
BF: Hai Adrian
Q: Well ANGIE is brown haired Adrian because ANGIE came second
"Why do you call Adrian blond angie" because that is what I first thought when I saw a drawing of her
Haha I like Adrian
Q: HEY stop right there Adrian pearl wanted to come!
Phasing for lunch
Q: YES Pearl watch Juan's show instead
Q: aww
Q: 
Phoenix: Yeah, I would love to go back in time and relieve a few of the good things... *chuckle* I'm sorry Phoenix what do you mean by that
hey looks like Will knows Adrian!
Pearl you should help this love story you like those right
Q: Matt can you tell me something about your manager
no? How dare you.
Q: hi gumshoe i haven't talked again with you for a but so
So apparently Adrian is really popular No wonder Zarla decided to make her love interest a woman
Q: Going in Juan's room just makes me sad... look at all of the bears... :(
BF: Oh that’s not the only reason she’s almost exclusively shipped with ladies
By the majority of the fandom haha
Q: Interesting, I hope I'll be able to find it when it appears
Q: yess i found a new conversation topic, and it's on Adrian!
Q: I don't think they're dating because Juan is dead
Hey Adrien so they're saying you were dating Juan but he's dead so
pfft no responce okay
HEY LOTTA
HEY GUMSHOE
I bet Juan named all of the bears tbh
wonder if matt will say anything to it
hey he will!
alright well that was fun time to go and figure out what else to do
Q: don't think i can get any of the locks yet but i could try :/ i'll fail though
Q: wait I think the Adrian gossip could have something to do with it!!!
she did say she wanted to do something with taking photos of celebrities
I broke a lock!!! I wonder if I can get the other!
all I have is a newspaper clipping :/ I don't think i have enough info yet but at least I saved before!
hey I did it!!!
:D
Q: now that I did something a room might've updated
Q: I know matt's hiding something and I'm mad
i know I can't but I wonder if I can break any other locks
Q: nope alright Phoenix let's go
Q: dangit im stuck
Q: might as well mourn for Juan while I am

Q: well i can visit the police station...
I feel really bad for gumshoe :(
Q: hi gummy im really sorry about Franz do you mind if i go to punch her in the face?
BF: I think Matt is hilarious, personally
and poor Gumshoe!
Q: he's gonna pull a knife on me i know it
Franz you cant win please stop torturing my friend
again Matt was set up
BF: oh definitely
Q: Maybe somebody dressed as him or something I dunno that's happened before
HEY
WAS THAT WOMAN BY ANY CHANCE JUAN'S WIFE
Q: no? WELL IT'S THE BROWN HAIRED GIRL HEY I KNOW HER
WHY DOES SHE ALSO HAVE TO BE DEAD
YA I WANNA LEARN MORE ABOUT HER
oh go away Franz
FRANZ NO
WHO SAID THAT
EDGY
OH MY GOD
EDGY I MISSED YOU SO MUCH
EDGY YOU'RE BACK!!!
:D
Q: HE'S DOWNTALKING FRANZ THIS IS THE BEST
EDGY!!!
:D
AND HE ISN'T MAD AT ME!!!
Q: PHOENIX YOU WERE ANGRY ABOUT HIM BECAUSE YOU WERE SAD ABOUT HIM AND HE SAID THAT YOU'RE HATRED IS ONE SIDED AND HE'S BEING NICE PHOENIX THIS IS THE BEST
:DDDD
PHOENIX STOP BEING MEAN >:(
BF: To be fair, he is under a ton of stress right now haha
Q: ya. Poor Phoenix, angry and try
Q: D: Nooo Adrian tried suicide
BF: yep. and this, by the way, ties directly into why she's pretty much universally viewed as a lesbian
Q: alright so that is why the fandom thinks she is a lesbian and why zarla ships her with that person
ALRIGHT
BF: SHE WAS VERY VERY VERY DEVOTED TO CELESTE
Q: noooo Adrian
BF: Zarla also ships her with Franziska, which is hands down the most popular ship for either of them hahah
but yeah...POOR ADRIAN
Q: what hahahaha alright I can see that as a funny ship
Q: EVERYBODY IS SO DEPRESSED IN THIS GAME
BF: and while it's partially his fault, POOR JUAN. I mean yeah he screwed up, he screwed up BAD.
but he was 19 years old and he was the one to FIND THE BODY
Q: DANGIT WHY IS EVERYBODY SO SAD
BF: IT GETS EVEN MORE MESSED UP. you'll seeeee
Q: "POOR PHOENIX", "POOR GUMSHOE", "POOR ADRIAN", "POOR JUAN", POOR EVERYBODY
yaaay i can't wait this case is very interesting
dang I wonder where to go next
I should probably go to adrian
Q: OH PLEASE DON'T TALK TO FRANZ PLEASE BE ON MY SIDE PLEASE I WANNA GIVE YOU A HUG
so they interacted this gives a little more of a reason to ship it
>:( EVIL DON'T PUT THAT THING IN GUMMY
Q: pffft shipping those two alright
i'll try to talk to her before presenting that I know about her attempted suiside
nvm
wonder if i can unlock the thing
BF: I THINK you should have enough to do it...I think. have you talked to Will?
and Lotta?
I know you've talked to Oldbag
Q: I have talked to will
though not recently i probably should
nah ill try to unlock it
BF: just check to make sure you have everything from him
OKAY
Q: fine
BF: I think you should be good
Q: OKAY
YAY
Q: didn't start it yet I'll go ask will
ya i already have averything from him
WHATEVER HEY ADRIAN
Q: frick im stuck hmm
BF: hahaha One detail I love is that there was a vague implication I picked up from Will that he and Juan were on good terms with each other
Q: huh!
Q: ADRIAN I FEEL BAD FOR YOU I WANNA GIVE YOU A HUG BUT I NEED TO COMPLETE THE LOCK THING FIRST
Q: i wiiiin
I like her though I don't wanna say she is the killer
oh ya pearl was listening to all of that
no wonderPhoenix brings her to fun places all of the time!!!
No Miss I wanna give you a hug I think you are great
Q: and I don't wanna be the reason you die!!!
goodbye adrian...
hey the hallway reset!
Q: HI ASSASSIN WHAT DO YOU WANT
BF: TO SAY SOMETHING OMINOUS.
Q: YES
I'm writing that down
Q: oh so the card is the assassin's card okay
Dammit Adrian!
Q: oh boy I escaped
hahaha oh my god i feel so bad for phoenix already
save point!
Q: Hi matt...
I'm sorry about being mad at you i don't think you did it anymore... well, I didn't really in the first place. I felt like you were resposible though, and even if you weren't, you're terrible anyways If you do anything though I will revert back to my pervious opinion for not have a pat on the head
Phoenix uh the assasin is calling you
Q: pfft hahahaha
I THINK THE ASSASIN IS FRAMING MATT
wait where is the prosicution
WHAT
SOMEBODY SHOT FRANZ
I AM ANGRY AND I AM SHOCKED
WHY AM I ANGRY SOMEBODY SHOT HER
ASSASSIN WHAT THE HELL
hiiii eeedggyyyyyyy before you ask i didn't do it
:D
Q: GUMSHOE YOU'RE FREE NOW
OH MY GOD THERE IS NO WHIP WE'RE FREE FREEEEE
:D
edgy is great'
hey the guitar case had something to do with it
I don't know what yet but it has
With Franz gone i feel like a weight i had no idea was there has been lifted Assassin, you get a pass at the moment.
Q: ya no if anybody in this entire game is gay with the game full on actually agreeing and making a few jokes out of it it's Adrian
Q: i think that something is wrong and that it's the assassin's fault
Tumblr media
why does matt have hair over half of his face anyways he looks suspicious
Q: IM FINDING EVERY REASON TO HATE HIM BUT FOR NOW HE IS FINE I GUESS
Q: Still bothered that the matt im talking too doesn't seem like somebody who would fight with everyone
Q: Ya Phoenix that's what matt told you, that he didn't see Juan as a rival
like i beleive him
Q: oh ya i forgot to say what i was doing
Q: "Alright so I've learnt this a few times"
"When you don't know something about the evidence ask that peice of evidence" it works very well for some reason
Q: dang then I better save before the evidence tab pops up!
Q: Wait Juan was killed by... wait gumshoe said something about the scarf on his neck. It has to do with that.. was there blood on the scarf? Was there any blood on it? Why was another knife stuck in his chest later? Was that knife this knife?
what the hell is up with the wineglass of tomato juice?
Q: Why would Adrian drink tomato juice out of a wineglass if Juan is the one who loves the color red
Q: >:( Then why didn't you wonder if Adrian was the killer!
Q: dangit why oldbag
oh my god she kept the nickname edgey-boy
EDGY REALLY DOESN'T LIKE HER IT SEEMS HAHA
Tumblr media
I am reminded of that picture I drew
Q: all you two have in common is the appearance for the most part and the same first name (well ladyverse Juan is Rivera which is Ace Attorney Juan's last name in a different translation I'm pretty sure so also kinda last name but it's not like they'd know that) as well as a red guitar and an interest in music... and a friend that looks like Angie/Adrian and like 6 other things but it's a coincidence
DOODLES
BF: hhahahahaah JUST LET IT GO MR. JUAN
Q: I feel smart
Probably just me being scared for life by Franz "I'm suspicious about Matt's face" "BUT THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTS ME TO THINK IT MUST BE HIS CLOTHES"
Q: oldbag stay behind the thing what happened
Q: ya but didn't Matt not know about that show afterwards
Q: wait but he didn't stab juan
what
ASK THE KNIFE
HEY IT WORKED
Q: ya but it doesn't make sense
why would he bring the knife if he didn't wanna kill him???
Q: To frame Matt!!!
Matt the rope is getting thicker but don't get your hopes up
Q: the autograph? Juan? Adrian???
Adrian!
Q: Ya but it'd seem reasonable is Adrian started talking with Juan after the brown haired girl (I forgot her name I'll call her R for now) died because he knew her. Then gossip spread.
This case is probably darker than that
...but i can't talk about her attempted suicide... Adrian :<
Q: ...Lotta knows!
I could probably do something with that... I really wanna help Adrian
Q: I knew oldbag stole the camera >:(
Q: um
sorry oldbag but i really wanna find Lotta's camera. Lotta visits me more and... she's just been the better friend. I hope you understand, right?
I knew it >:D
Q: ...who's room is the guy dressed at nickle samurai coming out of?
When did Matt say that???
Q: ...hmmm...
wait there is something wrong with it how dare the text block it
Q: And sadly, Adrian is small
why are we calling her the killer!!! D:
Q: 
Mia: He's just letting the trial run itself -- as if he's only along for the ride that's because he is
Phoenix he wants to see you succeed and to prove a point! Phoenix needs a hug
it's adrian... :(
Q: ...She did though...
...I'm sorry Adrian...
Don't worry Maya escaped Phoenix dangit
I wanna say wait im sorry Phoenix...
...dangit...
you know nobodyw ould care anyways if he did raise an objection
Edgy objected for me?? But you know nothing about her kidnapping!
Q: Phoenix is having a tough time I'm happy that Edgy is being nice to him
save point!
Q: Adrian I am sorry
Q: It won't be alright phoenix Adrian...
What if she dies??? D:
Q: how did the judge get his job
Q: but i don't wanna attack herrrr
"What if you think Angie is two people how come you never considered Adrian" They don't have the same glasses
Q: Adrian what about the guitar
did you think anything of that
Adrian im talking to talk to you in code
but what about the guitar
Q: i wanna know what happened to it
Q: ya but if you didn't wanna drink it then why did you get it in the first place
If you were shocked then how did you set it down before it existed
Q: Adrian please don't be upset
hey something about the guitar! What the heck happened to it!
hey I can talk about the guitar case!
Q: i wanna know what happened to the guitar!
ya but WHY was it empty?
why did you open it though? I know you don't know but why
Q: ...wait didn't somebody say earlier only Juan's figerprints were on it?
Dammit I really don't wanna keep saying you're lying Adrian
then if you were wearing gloves
then it'd prove you were the person in the picture!
Q: wait you weren't wearing gloves
SO EITHER you were the person in the picture, or you didn't have gloves and that wineglass was yours and you did tip over the vase!
Q: what else could be in the guitar?
case
Q: what if Juan opened it
probably not but somebody did stab him "after he was dead"
BF: hahah what could have been inside the guitar case? Well, we know it wasn't the GUITAR
Q: ahhh i don't knooowwwww and I can't save either
i pressed the wrong thing!
wait what
it's working???
Q: what is it a photo of???
what???
HUH WHAT OKAY
Q: what is it a photo of?
Q: It's of the pic off steel samurai show and Phoenix is saying the costume is in there and I am very shocked because I don't know what happened
ya but if she was wearing it while leaving then why was her in the costume shown going there
BF: hahaha well...okay I'm going to assume you have the photo of SOMEONE leaving Juan's room wearing Matt's costume Q: ya and i don;t like the idea of it being my frien BF: and that I'm not sure of. there's more than one problem with this case's timeline that I've seen because I've overanalyzed it to death BF: But right now you are going with the logic that it is HER in the costume leaving the room Q: huh! So there is a continuity error??? it being a spare would make sense... BF: mostly in the thing you just said...how did someone not notice her going into his room without the costume and leave wearing it Q: ah. Dangit i trusted this case BF: but that doesn't matter for the sake of your argument...the thing you need to prove is that it was HER in that cotume, and not Matt. Q: dangit but I like her more than matt! BF: Do it for Maya!
Q: but she's already escaped!
BF: she's not as free as you seem to think she is
Q: ya i know but
That looked like a basement so she must be in the same house i bet
BF: she's still locked in, that's all
Q: ah.
BF: OKAY but Adrian...and yes, the game is very much playing with your feelings...the key thing you need to keep in mind is that Adrian is TINY
Q: ALRIGHT
BF: she's like...5 foot four inches to Matt's almost 6 feet
Q: Wonder if there are canon heights posed for everybody somewhere
BF: if you keep THAT in mind...her HEIGHT...you should be able to spot the thing in the photo that proves it can't possibly be Matt in the costume
BF: and you can check it against the Nickle Samurai poster to see the contradiction
Q: Well I said earlier that the pants seemed much too long so it must be somebody small (Adrian)
BF: ding ding ding! you got it!
Q: yaaaay
Q: D: I feel bad for Juan
BF: and yeah, there actually are official heights for nearly everyone.  The Fan wiki for the game has everyone's heights (everyone who was given one) on their respective character pages
and I know right? :<
So that's how we know for sure that Matt was two inches taller than Juan. XD
Q: he should've won dammit then none of this would've happened
hey is that what happens in one of the AUs where he lives? that'd probably be a spoiler to the case.
pfft that's why Juan's hair is more poofy
BF: hee hee
Ummm...actually, no, I haven't done an AU where Juan wins the Grand Prix, and neither has anyone else, as far as I'm aware.
Q: oh well
BF: But weirdly enough, if Juan has won, that MIGHT have spared him. But I can't say why
Q: alright!
BF: In any case, I'm convinced the whole contest was rigged in Matt's favor, but that's just speculation.
Q: WELL YA
I hope soon i'll understand why Matt is evil
Q: yes but you see JUAN WAS KILLED BY THE SCARF not the knife!!! Why does everybody forget this!!!
BF: hahha poor Adrian just floundering at that point and going but...but the evidence that it was Matt...
Q: but... but Adrian the evidence that it WASN'T matt
BF: (I know you're having to be awful to Adrian, but keep playing...things are FAR from over.)
Q: (alright! I hope that she doesn't die!)
Q: To frame Matt@
M@ is apparently a thing now
BF: HAH
Tumblr media
WHY NOT IT'S FUNNY
Q: it's not Adrian though!!!
I HAVE NO CHOICE AT THIS POINT
dangit
Q:
Phoenix: MISS ADRIAN ANDREWS, I CHOOSE YOU
haha
quonit
I AM SORRY ADRIAN
SHE'S GONNA START CRYING STOP IT
Q: Dammit Franz you're still hurting me
Edgy I know she didn't do it right now i just wanna prove Matt didn't do it
Q: I always felt like pleading the fifth was like admitting to something. Good job Adrian for making it ambiguous.
but mayaaaa
Edgy you DON'T UNDERSTAND
thank you edgyyyy
Q: Mia he's a good objection buddy that is what he is
Q: just let matt be not guilty but also let me defend her later
Q: that's because she didn't the killer!
Q: also does the lock thing not work in court

Pearl: Even that woman prosecutor was better than that!
Pearl, let me introduce you to a man named Manfred Von Karma, also knows an Vampire the first.
Q:
Gumshoe: She almost looked like she was being tortured to death not being able to go to that trial today!
GOOD.
WHY THAT HOTTI CLINIC IT IT BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAD DRAWINGS FOR IT
Q: I am a lot more upset than I thought I would be when I learnt she was shot so I guess i have a heart and should go visit her. Also i think she wouldn't be allowed to bring a whip to a hospital so

Q: heeeey fraaanzzz imma make fun of you for being shot by my assassin friend
Q:

I KNEW IT
Q: MATT IS EVIL
WE CAN ASK HIM IF HE HIRED THE ASSASSIN
MATT HIRED THE ASSASSIN TO KILL JUAN BECAUSE JUAN WAS GOING TO REVEAL SOMETHING AND THEN ADRIAN MADE IT LOOK LIKE MATT DID IT AND NOW PEOPLE CAN FIGURE OUT THAT SHELLY DID IT
MATT YOU SUCK
Q: I really, really feel bad for Phoenix... all of this stress and then shock of edgeworth and then just being like "No i need to do my job" and he's mad at edgeworth because he needs to be mad at somebody because of the stress and
Q: hey! What does the assassin have to do with the brown haired girl!
most inaccurate thing in the game: A VSR. What even is that thing? Must be ancient.
hey Maya Matt's show sucks
it's a love Y story that is a blatant rip off of steel samurai that doesn't even include Will Powers in it. Also matt is evil.
dangit assassin go away
Q: To the detention center. Also i hate you Matt.
D: not a message!
he wants me to feed his cat ...the cat's probably innocent…

ah down from the hotel, guess i have to go there

Q: "Would you let this unsophisticated young person collect information?" HAHAHAHA
Q: hmmm i should go feed matt's cat but i wanna look around first

gumshoe! What is it?!?!
AND EDGEWORTH SAID IT WAS A DEAD END, HAH
PEARLS SHHHH HE FIGURED IT OUT ON HIS OWN WITH NOTHING ELSE TO GO OFF OF THIS IS IMPRESSIVE
YA WELL I ALREADY KNEW MATT BOUGHT IT ANYWAYS
Phoenix....
Q:
Tumblr media
Phoenix having a really tough time. Edgy’s “suicide” being cause by him but he has to not acknowledge it and get to his job, raising Pearl, getting Maya KIDNAPPED, worrying about Matt, Edgy coming back and Phoenix is under enough stress and has to be angry at something (I MADE A NOTE ABOUT HOW IT SEEMS LIKE EDGY KNOWS PHOENIX IS UNDER A LOT OF STRESS AND HE’S BEING NICER TO HIM BECAUSE OF THAT) and Von Karma (just her whip tho), and the assassin and… I really wanted to give him some cookies to make him feel better.
Me going through Zarla’s very old 2-4 doodles: It seems we have very different opinions on Edgeworth in this case
cookies
Q: Matt I know there are 5 locks but I hate you and want to find your secret and then tell the newspapers
Q: OF COURSE YOU WERE WATCHING THEM THERE IS A STUFFED BEAR TRANSMITTER AND CAMERA >:(
Q: YOU BOUGHT THE DAMN BEAR
I'm sorry matt hey why do i feel pity for him
BECAUSE HE'S YOUR BUTLER
Q: FUCK IM SCARED I REGRET THIS
OH FUCK YOU I KNEW THAT YOU'RE HAIR WAS SUSPITION
I HATE YOU
Q: I miss the old Matt
Tumblr media
I MISS OLD MATT
Tumblr media
I don't wanna get back to the game anymroe i just wanan doodle my regrets away
BF: Hahahaha awww
Just had to scroll back a bit to see your reactions to other stuff
BF: I think I went straight up to the reveal wanting to believe that Matt was somehow innocent, and I’d been spoilered for his evil face.
Tumblr media
IIIMMMMMM SOOOOORRRRYYYYYYY
BF: And I coulda sworn I...or the game...told you about Juan and Celeste earlier
Q: dangit
BF: Heee
Q: not earlier i suspected earlier and only recently did it tell me
BF: I have an elaborate theory that Celeste was murdered and it was made to look like a suicide but
Q: I opened the game again. I feel like crying. I'd like to hear more about this
I want to have Pearl punch him but she'll get hurt :(
BF: Admittedly, it’s partly cause I’m so biased in Juan’s favor (and I still acknowledge he messed BADLY) but what we know about the timeline that lead up To Celeste’s death is WEIRD
Tumblr media
if only
Q: I wanna hear more but i think i will get spoiled
BF: Aaah okay. I’ll tell you the logic later hah
Q: REALLY PHOENIX IS SCOUNDREL THE STRONGEST SWEAR WORD YOU CAN THINK OF
REALLY
I'D GIVE YOU A LONG LIST OF WORDS I'D CALL HIM BUT IM AFRAID THAT AT THE MOMENT I WON'T PRIVATE MESSAGE THEM
BF: Heee...you can have some of the best doofy conversations with Matt right before god reveal
Before THE reveal, even
Q: >:( I MISS OLD MATT
BF: And I love some of the penalty messages for presenting the wrong stuff during his psyche lock section
There’s this bit where if you ask him that one question again before dealing with the locks, and he goes hold on dude, I gotta call my lawyer
Q: ya well too bad I was too mad to think "hey maybe i should get this wrong"
BF: Hahaha fair enough
Q: Well the game is called Justice for All so that means I may just have to prove my defendant guilty because he sucks
HAHAHAHA
BF: I didn’t doof around as much on my first playthrough cause I spent the whole thing worrying about Maya
But yeah...he pulls his phone out
And the next thing you know, Phoenix’s phone ACTUALLY RINGS
And Matt tells you, over the phone, that he knows nothing so stop asking
HE CALLS YOU WHILE SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
AND NICK IS DOOFY ENOUGH TO ANSWER
And that mental image will never not be hilarious to me
Q: HAHAHA I REALLY WISH I DIDN'T MISS OUT ON THAT
BF: IT’S REALLY EASY TO MISS
BF: There’s a lot of optional dialogue in the bug sweeping part, too, which is easy to miss if you aren’t really thorough about scanning the room
Like one random thing I found in Juan’s room is a BREAD MAKER
Q: HAHAHA THE CAT PFFT WWELL TIME GO GO BACK TO THE HOUSE MILES COME WITH ME
Dangit one day i will replay this and I will find that dialogue
BF: Which had fresh bread still inside if it!
Lol Shoe gave them awaaaaay
Q: TO THE HOUSE
I remember finding that! Pearl was very excited 
I remember somebody who named their cat concrete
BF: So yeah...things that are canon about Juan that make me love him: the entire premise of his show (I would so watch a show about a singing fail ninja, I mean)
Q: SO DO I DAMMIT
MUCH MROE THAN SOME LOVE Y STEEL SAMURAI RIP OFF
BF: He apparently claimed in his OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY that he fought a bear. And won. And made friends with it.
BF: His whole weird thing with tomato juice and the fact that, if Adrian’s account is anything to go by, the fact that he sleeps SO HEAVILY that he can be taken for dead
Q: MILES HELP ME BREAK DOWN THE DOOR
I remember that!!! it was cute!!!
EDGY THE DOOR OPENED LET'S FIND THIS GUY
I wanna implement that into the ladyverse Juan haha
BF: His stupid mouth reed haha
Lol Zarla and I had a FIELD DAY with Juan and his heavy sleeping in the Frozen AU
BF: I love how weird and intense his rivalry apparently was with Matt, and I think it’s morbidly funny just how badly planned and half assed his actual revenge plot against Matt was when you know exactly what he was trying to do (it’s also pretty sad, but)
Like seriously nothing he tried to do holds up as a good plan if you think about the logistics of it like...at ALL
Q: dangit Maya don't die!
I feel bad for Juan...
BF: I DO TOO He was so young :<
Q: ADRIAN IM ON YOUR SIDE PLEASE TELL ME --- HE JUST WANTED TO GET REVENGE ON MATT!!! so young he died just because he was so desperate to get Matt back and didn't think him plan through...
BF: THAT’S THE WAY I SEE IT
BF: Even the most morally questionable thing he did (you’ll see) I see as being the act of someone who didn’t think his own words would be taken seriously
BF: Because who would believe anything bad said about a beloved actor when it comes from his bitter and angry rival
I think Juan got desperate:<
Q: that thing makes sense now... dangit I thought that picture was funny... --- :(
Q: ...time to save....
Tumblr media
Q: Juan didn't deserve to die!
hey this is the the same dream from the begining of the game did i accidently reset i am scared
oh good i didn't accidently reset
phoenix do what Edgy has done before: Fail for justice.
Matt I hate you
go away im sad
Mia is Maya already dead
GUMSHOE HE'S UNDER A LOT OF STRESS RIGHT NOW NOT JUST WHAT HE HAD BEFORE BUT NOW BECAUSE OF MATT PLEASE FORGIVE HIM
Q: How much what this tip
Q: the face had a scar on it. Alright, but how much did Matt 'tip'?
Q :A BIG FAT ROLL. Hopefully the judge can understand this
Q: what the heck does "try to pull a fast one" mean
Q :...this statement still feels wrong..
Q:
Phoenix: ARE YOU SAYING THAT BASEBALLS ARE SUSPICIOUS BECAUSE THEY HAVE STITCHES??? 
How will I ever be able to trust a baseball ever again
Q: I apparently can't trust any sorts of sports balls now because of Phoenix huh
Q: fine. Did the hand on the end of that arm have brown figerless gloves?
find then. Whatever. what was the something?
Q: wooden statue... hm...
the bear.
BF: hahaha so much of Phoenix's arguments here are him pretty transparently stalling for time
Q: IT'S SAD but he needs to learn how to do what edgy does How could anybody hate edgy
dangit uhhh what now well i can save at this point
Well I'm kinda curious about the bear so
Q: uh how about the guy to got the bear? That could be helpful
Please tell me who took the bear!
nice he must've not wanted to get caught
Q: please hand down the verdict 
...Phoenix needs to know where Maya is first...
Mia we need to hear it i'm sorry
Mia don't worry maya is fiiiiINNNNNNEEEE haha
Q: ugh i bet phoenix is thinking of Adrian
Q: dammit we've already hurt her enough!
Q: Edgeworth's opinion is "Phoenix really i thought you grew" and my opinion is "PHOENIX IM SORRY ABOUT MAYA BUT IM WITH MILES ON THIS ONE"
Mia you told me to do this don't look at me like that
Q: oh fuck off matt
Q:
Gumshoe: Have you been hangin' in there pal?? 
me: NO HE CERTAINLY HASN'T
Q: ??: a tent! 
that is the most random thing wtf
MIA how is maya
BF: hahaah SUDDENLY A CALLBACK TO THE PREVIOUS CASE
Q: ALRIGHT SO MAYA'S BEING STARVED WONDERFUL PHOENIX LET'S MAKE MATT FUCKING PAY FOR BEING A *****
Q: LET'S GET A SLEDGEHAMMER AND BREAK THE BEAR OPEN DAMMIT
Q: Judge is doing the puzzle!
Q: Ya well WHAT IS INSIDE OF THE BEAR
Q: THE SUICIDE NOTE
WHAT THE FUCK ADRIAN
Q: frick i hope they find maya soon
BF: the were you responding to the fact that Adrian was planning on burning the note, cause if you are, I always found that to be really messed up
BF: like wtf yes I know you didn't want Juan to use Celeste as a way of getting back at Matt cause you didn't want either of them using her anymore but BURNING YOUR BELOVED MENTOR'S FINAL WORDS
Q: Well I already knew that I was also confused that IT EXISTED AND SHE KNEW WHERE IT WAS and it was brought to my attention yet again she wanted to burn it... AND AS YOU SAID, THAT IS REALLY MESSED UP
BF: Also, Adrian, you tried to use Juan's death as a way to try and get back at MATT.
Q: EXACTLY
BF: WHAT JUAN DID WAS BAD, BUT ALMOST NO ONE SEEMS TO DRAW THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THAT AND ADRIAN STABBING JUAN'S CORPSE
I mean christ if Adrian can be forgiven for that
Q: I AM STILL MAD AT HER FOR THAT!!!
BF: (I like to think that Adrian and Juan were way the heck more alike than she wanted to admit. and I say that while also totally understanding why she feels the way she does.)
Q: waaaaaaaa this case makes me feel sad
Q: ...BUT ON THE BACK OF THE PICTURE FRAME CEL WROTE SOMETHING RIGHT???
Q: "With love, Celeste" is all Celeste wrote on the picture hahah
Q: YA AND IT'S HANDWRITING
YESSSSSSSS A PHONECALL!!!!
BF: (I still have no clue why she dated Matt. like, Lady, why did you date your client? WHY DID YOU DO IT AGAIN WITH JUAN.)
Q: (AND NEVER ONCE DID SHE SEE THE BIG FUCKIN ASS SCAR I MEAN HAIR MOVES IN WIND RIGHT WHAT THE HELL)
HAHAHA I LOVE HOW THEY'RE PLAYING CATCH WITH THE PHONE
BF: hahahahaa HOW DID MATT HIDE THOSE
Q: SERIOUSLY I WAS VERY ANGRY ABOUT THAT EVEN BEFORE I KNEW HIS SCAR WAS THERE
BF: lolol Zar did a comic about that where Phoenix throws the phone and beans Edgeworth in the head with it.
Q: SEND IT NOW
EDGY THANK YOU
Q: hahha I'm used to that kind of silly anime flop bang, I didn't think about it.
Q: dangit was it colored???
BF: it softens his face, so it makes sense from a design standpoint.
Q: I THOUGHT ABOUT IT BECAUSE I DON'T WATCH TOO MUCH ANIME
Q: SEND THEM NOW GUMSHOE
FUCK HE GOT IN A CARCRASH SHIT
NOT GUMSHOE!!!
BF: GUMSHOE WILL LIVE
https://zarla.deviantart.com/art/Bad-reception-PW2Spoilers-59768674 and here
Q: MATT IS NOT INNOCENT AND NEVER WILL BE
Q: SAVE ADRIAN
I feel so happy thank you mia
Q: EXACTLY PHOENIX DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW
Edgy is a friend!!!
BF: hahah
Q: I am still upset how the heck could anybody dislike him
(Edit: I felt guilty for liking him because of hearing Zalra’s not a big fan. I kinda felt guity over liking him because i thought in doing so i was being annoying or something??? it’s dumb but sadly enough i still have problems with it.)
I apparently just really like this character!
BF: hahahaha Edgeworth?
Q: YA!
BF: HE HAS NO SHORTAGE OF FANS IN THIS FANDOM
Q: true
BF: it's the people who DON'T care for him so much who are in the minority
https://zarla.deviantart.com/art/Bad-reception-PW2Spoilers-59768674 and here
Q: WAIT WE DO HAVE A WAY
DOES FRANZ STILL HAVE THE TRACKING DEVICE???
Q: I KNEW THE NOTE WAS FAKE
DANGIT BUT STILL MATT IS TERRIBLE AND SO IS ADRIAN FOR WANTING TO BURN IT
Q: HEY ASSASIN COME TO COURT WITH US
after this is over im going through Zarla's Ace Attorney folder
BF: haha yeah the old forged note thing. that's actually one of my reasons for arguing murder not suicide...cause i took that as 'he couldn't find a note at ALL"
Q: ah alright!
BF: (Also, I love the implication that he's got good handwriting...don't know why i zero in on THAT detail.)
but yeah...the forged note is the REAL thing I parallel to Adrian stabbing Juan's corpse.
cause it feels like the same basic intent
Q: (I took note of that too haha) UGH HOW DARE SHE
BF: (also I'm convinced, again, that Juan didn't think anyone would take anything he had to say about Matt seriously...but they'd listen to CELESTE.)
I STILL FEEL AWFUL FOR ADRIAN AND DON'T BLAME HER FOR PULLING A DESPERATION MOVE even though it made everyone's lives harder and just got her implicated for a crime she didn't commit
Q: ...I still like Juan from this case... he made mistakes and he didn't think about it all of the way through but I really think what he was doing what something that needed to be done considering...
Q: ADRIAN
I DON'T THINK IT'S HER STILL
DAMMIT WHAT THE LIVING HELL ASSASSIN HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PROVE MATT GUILTY NOW
Q: MILES IM SORRY WHAT IS WITH ADRIAN
OH YA I KNOW YOU STILL WANT MATT FOUND INNOCENT
SO DAMN YOU IT'S NOT ADRIAN
Q: but i don't wanna go to the fandoooommmmm (eh)
IF SHE KNEW HE WAS DEAD THEN WHY DID SHE GET THE WINGLASS SCREW YOU SHELLY
Q: 
Judge: That was an awfully weak objection for the two of you ah so you know us by now I should've expected this
BF: hahaha the Judge even more used to Phoenix's shenanigans by game 5
Q: assassin your lies are easily seen through hahaha well considering how long of a time that is of course he is
Q: YOU SAID HIM WHAT THE HECK
HAHAHA
ASSASSIN YOU ARE SOMEHOW REALLY BAD AT LYING
BF: hee hee
Q :more obvious lies are coming
BF: WELL SHE DOES HAVE THE MASCULINE VERSION OF HER NAME FOR SOME REASON (the feminine version is spelled Adrienne)
Q: I don't think he saw it spelled to be honest, so either way even if it was spelled the feminine way then he wouldn't have known
BF: hahah TRUE
either way PROOF HE NEVER SAW HER
Q: ALRIGHT THEN WELL THE FIGURINE WAS INSIDE OF MATT'S HOUSE SO
AND IF HE GAVE HER THE FIGURINE SHE WOULD'VE BURNT THE NOTE
BUT GUESS WHAT
IT ISN'T BURNT
BF: (that probably works a bit better in the original Japanese. She has a kind of masculine sounding name there, and it's way way more likely to talk about someone without using pronouns at ALL in Japanese, so more likely he never heard her called a her.)
hahh YEP YOU GOT IT
Q: FUCK. OFF. MATT. NOW.
SO YOU KNOW I HATE YOU AND IF YOU PROVE YOUSELF GUILTY MAYA WILL DIE AND YOU WILL GET YOUR REVENGE ON ME FUCK OFF
I CHOSE TO MAKE MATT FUCK OFF THAT'S WHAT
BF: hahahahahaha
Q: FRANZ WHAT ARE YOU DOING HE'S GUILTY WHAT IS GOING ON
FRANZ DID YOU BRING GUMSHOE
OH MY GOD THANK YOU
YOU ARE HELPFUL
EVEN IF HE'S NTO HERE
YOU ARE NOTHING LIKE YOUR DAD FRANZ!!! :D
BF: Franzy is so much better hahah
Q: :DDD
BF: Though she never does get any good at admitting when she's wrong
Q: ya well at least she doesn't try to kill people over it
i really should sleep but this case is almost over!!
BF: YOU ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE END, IT'S TRUE
Q: BUT I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR 3 HOURS
MATT WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL HERE I TOLD YOU TO FUCK OFF RIGHT
BF: now whether or not you want to intentionally get the bad end or not just to see it is up to you...though I can't remember if the preserved the infamous typo that makes the bad end so memorable for the HD version
if THEY preserved, even
BF: (basically the bad end is super sad and dramatic...but they have a VERY noticeable typo on the dramatic final line that makes it unintentionally funny.)
Q: (pffft)
(I DON'T WANT A BAD END)
Q: I WANNA SHOW THE DAMN VIDEO TAPE TO MR KILLER DAMMIT "why" ILL EXPLAIN WHEN I DON'T FEEL SO RUSHED
BF: (hahah I MEAN FAIR ENOUGH. it's shorter than the good end. BUT THE GOOD END IS SO VERY SATISFYING.
heee jee
Q: (I WANNA SEE THE GOOD END DAMMIT)
BF: yesss SHOW DE KILLER THE PROOF OF MATT'S BACKSTABBING
Q: BACKSTAB BACKSTAB BACKSTAB MATT YOU SUCK FUCK OFF AND DIE
BLACKMAIL OF COURSE DAMMIT
Q: YEESSSSS
KILL MATT KILL MATT KILL MATT
MAYA IS SAFE!!!
Q: FUCK YOU MATT YOU BLACKMAILED THE ASSASIN AND YOU MADE TWO PEOPLE COMMIT SCIDIDE AND KILLED JUAN AND FRAMED ADRIEN AND MADE PHOENIX' LIKE TERRIBLE AND MADE ME GIVE YOU A ROPE FOR A LITTLE BIT (THAT SHIT IS EXPENSIVE) AND
NO I WILL NOT HELP YOU
YOU DUG YOUSELF INTO THIS HOLE AND YOU WILL NEVER GET OUT
YOU WILL BE BURRIED
ALIVE
AND WE WILL ALL CHEER
BF: and now you are about to see that Matt canonically has RAZOR BLADES for fingernails.
Q: HE IS GUILTY I HAVE LEARNT EDGEWORTH IS FRIEND oh boy give me a second
WOW
HOLY SHIT MATT YOUR FINGERNAILS OW
UM MATT STOP IT PLEASE YOU'RE MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE
BF: WHAT DID I JUST SAY
Q: RAZOR BLADES
ABSALUTE KNIVES FOR FINGERNAILS
BF: and yet there is still endless speculation about whether or not his scars are from a self inflicted wound or not. WHICH WE REALLY CAN'T BE SURE OF HONESTLY
Q: What do you think on it?
aww adrian!!!
(It’s like 1 in the morning now)
Q: Awww!!!
BF: I've heard tons of convincing theories for one thing or another, and I've never settled on a single one.
Q: Alright!
BF: Self inflicted is the OBVIOUS answer...but I've also seen compelling arguments that it was like...Shoe the cat. Or Celeste.
Q: Miles!!! Hello :D
Shoe the cat haha
Celeste makes sense…
BF: I have one very specific scenario where it was JUAN, but that's for one of the AUs
Q: :D yay!!! Maya is good!!!
Hi Franz!!! Well AUs
I lost and i am HAPPY because I got Matt to FUCK THE HELL OFF
BF: (and in that scenario, it was very much self defense...but cutting up his face was unintentional.)
hahahah YOU GOT THE RIGHT VERDICT THAT'S THE IMPORTANT PART
Q: INTERESTING
Finally Phoenix understands Edgy's side of the story 
Edgy is best
BF: hahah I'M AFRAID I CAN'T TELL YOU MORE THAN THAT cause it's major spoilers for an ongoing fic
Q: Fine!
Q: hahaha ONE DAY FRANZ, ONE DAY.
Franz: You are no longer worthy of being a Von Karma!
Franz: :with a smile: And neither am I!
:O
...the whip?
I FEEL SO HAPPY FOR HER
Q: MAYA THE BEST THING JUST HAPPENED YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT
BF: hahah SHE REALLY WAS JUST TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH EDGEY, HONESTLY
Q: EVERYONE HERE NEEDS A HUG

Q: RIP PHOENIX'S WALLET, THE EPIC TV SHOW SERIES IT NEEDED TOO MANY SEQUELS TO BECOME A MOVIE SO WE JUST MADE IT A TV SHOW
Q: ALRIGHT IM SLEEPING I’LL LOOK AT THE CREDITS LATER GOODBYE
:After sleeping:
Q: Alright I'm back and looking at the credits
Q: Maya that's not a good thing
Pearl not only did you kill phoenix' wallet again you still fail to see the one true ship here Good job Gumshoe!!! I hope you get a livable amount of money now! Sure I can see Bryde as a waitress... but wait if she's so unlucky then... crap
Q: I wonder where the real hotti is
You can do it Max!!!
BF: She’s definitely coming back in the next game, haha. So is Adrian, but Adri has a far far better time of it that time around.
Q: Well she's fun enough so i don't find yaaaay Adrian :D
BF: Maggey is doomed to have awful luck and end up in trouble though
Q: dangit. MAGGEY IM SORRY FOR YOU

Lana's less inhibited than Mags (not that that's a high bar to set), so it's no surprise she's willing to go first. She's even willing to look a little silly in an outfit or two. But will that help Mags feel more comfortable?
Despite my mom having worked in the fashion industry, I've never been a fan of fashion, myself. I don't see why there needs to be a set of rules for what does and doesn't "look good". I wanna wear my Hawaiian shirts and Ninja Turtle tees more often, dangit!
Unsurprisingly, this meant I needed a little outside help to figure out some good outfits for Lana to wear. I googled fashion for her body type, which helped me figure out the three nice outfits in the montage, but I also borrowed elements from outfits I've seen before. Lana's white dress is partly inspired by one of the dresses Tiana wears in The Princess and the Frog, specifically from the "Almost There" dream sequence and Facilier's illusion. In the swimwear panel, her wrap's pattern is inspired by the outfit worn by Lilo from Lilo and Stitch, while the hat may be subconsciously taken from Jessie from Between Failures (See my webcomic links) and/or Connie from the original Steven Universe opening.
Her ugly dress was just me trying to do the opposite of her nice dress - there's lots of frills, lines, and colors to contrast with the simplicity of the dress in the previous panel. Lana's snow outfit was given a pink hue and poofball on top, because I wanted it to look like the kind of outfit you put on a five-year-old that makes them incapable of moving in the snow, and NOT like an insensitive caricature of Inuit people. I've used costumes (like sombreros and fruit hats) in much, MUCH earlier strips that would give me pause today, and I certainly don't want to mock a minority's culture in the form of a costume for the sake of a gag.
That being said, I'm pretty sure lederhosen is fair game. I believe that I have some German ancestry and I KNOW I'm half-Jewish, so if anyone gets to make fun of German culture, it's me.
Of course, fans of the strip would remember that the outfit in the next-to-last panel is that of Battle-Axe Beatrix, the rude, axe-wielding teacher at C.R.A.S.H. I had initially considered other characters' outfits for this gag, but Beatrix's outfit was DESIGNED to look ugly.
