Fun fact! This was the real tipping point that made Edgeworth run away after AA1, they just couldn't show it on screen because they didn't have the rights to Chappell Roan's music <3

(A spiritual successor to my "Hot to Go" joke from this post. Image description under the cut below)

[Image ID: a four page black and white comic of characters from ace attorney.

The Judge stands solemnly at his podium holding a gavel "Mr. Miles Edgeworth, you are on trial for the murder of blah blah blah..."

A cheerful Maya Fey leans over to Miles Edgeworth, who is staring straight ahead and looking very concerned

Maya: "Psst! Mr. Edgeworth! If you win your trial, can I show you Chappell Roan?

Miles: "What the hell, sure." Internally he thinks "Oh God I am going to jail"

A box saying "later" in the top corner of the next panel marks the passage of time.

The Judge smiles as he says "I declare you... Not Guilty!"

We see a full body shot of Maya dancing excitedly while Miles looks on, emotionless

Maya: YIPPEE omg you're going to LOVE this

Miles internally thinks "oh no, the consequences of my actions.

We see Miles standing in between Phoenix Wright and Maya looking apprehensive. Maya beams in excitement, while Nick puts a reassuring hand on Miles' shoulder

Miles: Alright, so what is this exactly?

Nick: She's a pop musician Maya really likes

Maya: You promised you'd let me show you, and it's legally binding because you said it in a court room!

Miles: That is not how the law works Ms. Fey

Maya: Shh just listen!

We see a panel of Miles' pensive face concentrating as he listens to "Hot to Go". He thinks to himself "hm".

Another panel zoomed in more. His pensive expression has grown more tense/confused as he listens to "Red Wine Supernova". he again thinks to himself "Hm" in a larger thought bubble.

We zoom out again to see Nick, Miles, and Maya standing together again. Miles stares forward blankly, eyebrows raised. Maya excitedly leans in.

Maya: Ok, that's her whole discography. So! What did you think?

Nick looks at him, waiting for his response

We get a panel of Miles, looking bewildered. He starts to speak "I..."

We cut again to see the three of them standing together.

Miles: I... don't think I like women?

Miles looks shocked and confused. Nick is bent over laughing, using a hand on Miles's shoulder to support himself. Maya looks outraged and appalled!

Maya: MR. EDGEWORTH! Just because you don' like her musi it doesn't give you an excuse to be sexist!

We see a panel of Miles looking stressed and confused. He leans his head on one of his hands, which messes up his hair, showing how he isn't his normal put together self.

Miles: I should rephrase that. What I mean is, Ms. Roan is clearly VERY assured in her feelings towards women. I was... unaware that anyone felt that strongly. I thought we all viewed these things with a vague sense of distaste and unease but collectively ignored it. Like how we do with climate change.

We zoom out again to see the three of them. Miles stands in the middle looking deeply uncomfortable and lost in thought, vibrating with unease. Nick and Maya exchange deeply concerned glances across from him.

With lingering unease, Miles begins to walk away.

Miles: Well, I should be going then. Goodnight.

Nick hesitantly raises a finger to point out an inaccuracy in that statement

Nick: It's four in the afternoon-

he gets interrupted by Miles who repeats firmly: I said Goodnight

Nick looks in the direction Miles walked off in.

Nick: ...He'll be ok, right?

Maya reassures him: Of cours Nick! I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

Jump cut to a closeup of Nick's hand holding Miles' letter which reads Miles Edgeworth chooses death in all caps. Then, below in smaller font, it says Also femininomenon was really good, thanks.

We see a panel of Nick glaring wordlessly at Maya as he holds the letter in his hand. Maya leans against the wall and looks away, whistling, trying to look innocent to avoid blame.

As a bonus, we also have a page that takes place a year later. Miles and Nick stand talking. Miles looks calmer now, and Nick smiles encouragingly.

Miles: In my time in Europe, I've been examining myself and my approach to law. Ultimately, the most important focus must be justice. We owe it to ourselves and to the people we serve

Nick: Wow, that's really inspiring Edgeworth. And, uh, hows the... the other thing going?

We get a zoomed in panel of Miles glaring menacingly at a suddenly nervous Nick

Jumping out again, Miles turns his back to Nick as he continues to talk

Miles: So as I was saying, justice is truly so important...

Nick nervously rubs the back of his neck wearing an awkward expression as he sweats nervously. He thinks to himself internally "Ooookay then, clearly still working through some things there"

It will never not be super ridiculous that Buffy had to single-handedly protect the world from demons, raise her teenage sister, manage a household, and work a full time job, all at the age of 22 and everyone around her is like “god Buffy just grow up and deal with it, stop acting like it’s hard.”

the difference between how Ratio talks to himself vs one of his students is really fascinating

Himself:

It’s casual, simple, digestible. He uses plenty of contractions like can’t, didn’t etc.

Verses how he talks the moment the Trailblazer is on screen…

“Enconced.” Comeon man there are like 50 other more accessible words you could use there. This is excessive.

He’s testing the Trailblazer in all of these and you can really tell. He’s imitating how someone in a debate would talk or how he in the context of one would and man it’s annoying in the best way possible.

It’s almost to the point of ridiculousness.

This is just mean. What the hell is a neophyte. Yes Professor I get it I’m not ready for this. Thanks.

And then he speaks more simply when he gets to the point! “Yeah this is annoying and difficult, isn’t it?”

Then there’s like a middle ground when he’s being interviewed (and he’s admittedly not really into it). Tangent of all tangents but he says outright here that he doesn’t hope for Nous’s gaze anymore… wish people noticed that.

He at least throws an isn’t in there, but I wouldn’t count that as less formal than can’t + didn’t are considering is not doesn’t flow as well as isn’t would in that line. He’s trying to explain his point of view here but he’s not really testing the interviewer, hence the middle ground.

Idk really where I’m going with this, but the point is that Ratio’s use of language is DELIBERATE. He’s not some fancy nobleman raised to talk like that- he talks like that to teach and understands how frustrating that can be for people, which is why he employs it when testing the Trailblazer to see what knowledge is suitable for them.

Like it’s incredibly funny to see him switch from thinking of things informally to himself to when he’s formally challenging the Trailblazer on it.

You can HEAR him lock in it’s great.

That’s why I despise when people write or characterize him as talking like a textbook 24/7- he doesn’t! This is on purpose! And he knows slang too! He says K/1 in that group chat, says someone else is “spitting facts” in another- he knows how to talk to people normally! He just chooses not to because that’s how he A) teaches and B) keeps the annoying people away from him.

I think he’s a great representation of how someone who actually understands how language works looks like because he’ll change how he uses it depending on what value it will bring him and whoever he might be teaching in the moment. He’s not an insensitive brick wall- he’s the exact opposite of it and him talking like one on occasion is only proof of that.

Shoutout to all the fat queer mascs/men, especially the trans ones, who don't fit the existing archetypes for fat queer men that others might find comfort in.

Not all of us are bears, not all of us are dadcore, not all of us are soft, and that's okay. We don't have to be defined by an aesthetic or a vibe, and even if we want to be, that doesn't mean should hate ourselves for not neatly fitting in that box.

"You can be a bear" for the transmascs who are scared of gaining weight, or even any queer man who's gained weight, is all well and good for those it can apply to and those who will find joy in it

But I think "you can still be you" is better, and I think we need to hype up fat queer men and mascs more outside of what's become mainstream/accepted

FYI if I see a ship involving a character that I hc as ace/aro/aroace, IM NOT GONNA BE MAD OK. It is a spectrum after all and people can and will feel differently on how their identity affects them. So do what you feel is right. As long as YOU don’t disrespect the fact that I might NOT ship it or only ship it as a qpr

Anyway happy international asexuality day everyone 😬🫶💜🤍🖤
