44. If you take/write prompts: do you prefer dialogue or scenario/narrative prompts? (I love you!)

Questions for Fic Writers (I love you more!!!!!)

fUCK. FUCK. FUCK. I HATE THIS. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO CHOOSE I'M POLYAMOROUS.

I'll have to say scenario/narrative ones because things I've been most inspired by have been the, like, "Things You Said..." ask meme game I've reblogged before, or the randomized kiss meme. They're evocative but provide you a heck of a lot of freedom, and dialogue is something I barely ever have trouble with so it'll come to me easier.

2, 16, 18, 23 for dai, minah and eniko!

thanks dear!! // oc ask prompts

2. What were they like as a child? Were they quiet and reserved, outgoing, or a bit of both?

DAI — reserved, polite, respectful, shy, dutiful. even before the war he was a solemn and well-behaved kid, which honestly served him well at camp. not to say he wasn't happy, he was just sort of quiet about it MINAH — she was outoing as hell. mostly well-behaved, especially when she really needed to be, but she enjoyed having fun and pushing boundaries and having fun and trying to grow up too fast in the silly, self-important way kids do. (then she actually had to grow up and it was much less fun than she imagined) ENIKO — eniko was quiet and well-behaved but from practice, not from personality. the punishment for misbehaving was harsh and he learned quickly that it was much harder to get away with things than he thought it would be. fortunately he'd learned long before he met Sir how to make himself quiet and useful, and he cultivated those skills (or maybe it's better said that Sir cultivated them for him). it's worth noting that his best friend and first boyfriend growing up was a bright, outgoing, shining beacon of a student—maybe a little more of the kind of kid eniko would have liked to be, under different circumstances

16. How do they like their baths/showers? Hot/cold, long/short?

DAI — one of the marvels of Selto was the hot shower. not that he really has a preference—he'll take whatever's on hand and be grateful for it—but it's nice to be able to stand there and be warm and feel everything washing away. baths you kinda just. stew. MINAH — loves a hot bath, with oils and scents and soaps and lotions. there's a certain glorious satisfaction of coming out of the bathing chamber smelling like four different kinds of flower and feeling clean down the to roots of your hair which she simply doesn't get on the road. doesn't need to be too long, just has to be the sort of hot you feel down to your bones ENIKO — in canon, he prefers whatever is quickest and least vulnerable—he's killed men in the bath before and there's a certain indignity to it that kinda sticks with you. modern au nikö absolutely has a swanky AF shower with like, a rain showerhead and multidirectional streams (I also think he'd be really into a jacuzzi bathtub)

18. How has their hair changed over time? What is their favorite hairstyle?

DAI — as a young boy his dad used to do his braids, and then for a while he just wore it really short so he wouldn't have to bother with it. after the war, when his dad couldn't get around so well, he cycled through a few different styles that his dad wanted to try out, but he settled on locs in his late teens and grew them out pretty long—long enough to discover that the tips would turn white. after his first death he chopped it all off with a combo dagger and drug store razor, and its been slowly growing back ever since (I think he might go back to braids post-rez, if we survive that long). he honestly likes it short—easy to deal with MINAH — she used to wear her hair longer, the kind of length you can do really intricate hairstyles with. she cut it short when she left home and its been short ever since (though she's gotten much better at doing the cutting). she also dyes; she's naturally more blond but usually wears it in shades on the brown/red spectrum. she's done proper colors a couple times for different shows, but it's a pain in the ass to keep up. I've been thinking she might go black next, just to try it out. she likes it fresh-cut about jaw length; when it gets long enough to reach her shoulders it starts to annoy her ENIKO — his hair hasn't changed much. he started shaving the sides in his teens and still keeps that up. the only thing is that sometimes he grows it long enough to put it up in a bun (sexy) which is about where it was getting when the campaign ended. much like minah, he does his own hair. he doesn't really care how he wears it so long as he looks neat and put together

23. Where would they fall on a politeness/rudeness scale of 1-10 (1 being the most polite and 10 being the rudest)?

DAI — like, 2. he goes to great lengths and pains to be polite, but every once in a while the bitchiness peeks out. tho honestly even when he's being a bitch he tends to be kinda polite about it. MINAH — ummmm 6. she definitely can be polite, but she only cares about it to a certain extent, and after that stuff tends to slip out. she tries not to (and sometimes she feels bad about it) but what counts as "rude" in the troupe versus like, polite everyday society leaves a little to be desired. it's kinda a case of her being socialized into it and having to make the effort to socialize herself out of it again. ENIKO — 8. he doesn't give a fuck. as long as he's doing the job he's been paid for who gives a shit. he's an asshole.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

you dislike Luke Castellan because he disagreed with an oppressive government system and actually took action to change the abusive ways him and his peers have been forced to follow for millennia.

I dislike Luke Castellan because in the Titans Curse he manipulated Annabeth, who he raised as his little sister, into holding up the sky, the FUCKING sky, for over 20 hours and had the audacity to walk away as though he was completely apathetic towards it while she begged and pleaded with him to help her.

we are not the same.

If there's anything I've felt about ace attorney since playing through the original trilogy, it's how cheated I've felt about the fandom interpretation of it. Y'all were so caught up with your gay boys and your Miles Edgeworths I didn't realize how much of this game was about WOMEN. THE CORE OF ACE ATTORNEY IS IN ITS FEMALE CHARACTERS. From Mia jumpstarting Phoenix and guiding him throughout the whole trilogy even after her death, her presence being the primary connecter of Phoenix and Maya, Maya and Godot, heck even Dahlia and Iris and the whole lot of them. From Franziska's earnest faith and consolation of Miles Edgeworth, even begrudgingly, pulling him out the trauma of his childhood with the face to face confrontation of a bullet wound in the same spot as the man who killed his father. Lana and Ema dragging Phoenix back into the thing he does best. Lana and Ema who's tragic story lies in a pair of sisters ruined by the heinous law system and their unconditional love for each other. Dahlia and Iris with a different version of sisterly tragedy, struggling through generational trauma in separate settings and support systems. The matter of the Fey tradition looming over the entire narrative and all the legal and social terror that comes with it. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE ACE ATTORNEY WOMEN.

I ❤️ self-loathing characters, characters who struggle with monstrosity (either fearing or embracing it), characters who are so lonely, who have a gaping hole in their chest, who bottle up & repress their feelings, who claw their way up & have ambitions, who fall down & lose everything, who search for identity & purpose yet can’t see themselves outside of what others want from or expect of them, who are hurt & hurt others, who long & grieve, who lie & pretend. characters who are messy & flawed & human
