#goofy aaaa stupid post

[grants-blue-eyed-stare]

Ah yes a typical Ulysses-Julia Grant letter

OHHH so he was banished to the Mexican-American war after Tuunbaq got him

In reality, this is totally unrelated. Maybe having two Lieutenant Gores on the same continent at the same time was too much. I understand that one of them had to die. North America wasn't big enough for the two of them.

[r0-boat]

Aaaa Happy birthday to our beautiful princess

I will probably be choked out because I posted another king on the ruler of envy's birthday XD

Anyways enough yapping

Leviathan NSFW ALPHABET

Cw: breeding, marking, choking, slight branding, chokers and collars.

(Asmodeus Leviathan beef)

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

If you want aftercare you're probably going to be disappointed. Levi has never had soft touch in his life. He didn't even know there was such a thing until he flinched away from your touch when you ran your fingers through his hair.

After you explain what it is, he rolls his eyes and tells you it seems stupid(He didn't tell you to stop either). The next time the two have sex, he starts holding you closer and awkwardly press his lips against your neck and shoulders. Don't acknowledge his cuddling, or else he will stop immediately, Turns out he's quite fond of your gentle touch

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

There's two body parts that he absolutely adores He loves your neck, He likes watching the subtle movements He likes The fact that he could leave marks as visible as possible and as dark and big as he wants to. He likes cute little noise you make when he wraps his hand around it.

He also likes your eyes, He will never ever admit how beautiful your eyes are to him. When you catch him looking at you Leviathan rips his gaze away even though all he wants to do is stare into your eyes. He wants all of your attention on him all the time He wants those beautiful eyes to be on him constantly.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Inside you or on you. Marking you with his seed. He has been trying to fuck you deeper ever since Asmodeus came back to hell.

His mind is poisoned with thoughts of how much cum that stinky freak has pumped inside you. He hates being jealous of that disgusting piece of trash, but he can't help it when all he thinks about is the time he stole you away doing who knows what.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Most the time the sex you have with Levi is emotionally charged, rough and needy.

But Leviathan often thinks about what it feel like to make love to you. To have you in His arms as if you were the only one for him and to have you look at him like he was your one and only.

To be so infatuated with each other, that nothing else matters but the two of you.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

He's Not as experienced as you may think. A lot of his movements are more primal and driven by his pure need. He doesn't know how to pleasure you to make you feel good. But he learns over time because he wants to know your body so well that you only come to him.

How does he know how to pleasure you from the beginning? Beel talks a lot even Sometimes giving him unwanted advice...

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Missionary, He wants to see your face contort and pleasure and he wants you to look at him reminder of what he is doing to you and who is making you feel this good. He'll also take any other position that makes his cock reach as deep as possible.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

No, He will shut you up with his hand or his mouth if you ever joke with him when he's balls deep inside you

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

He has a routine. That man is as smooth and as bald as glass

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

No he doesn't and he doesn't know how That doesn't mean he doesn't try. It's just old habits are hard to break.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Leviathan tries so hard not to masturbate to you. He tries so hard to ignore his hard cock and to push away the dirty images of you lying beneath him or straddling him.

He's so pent up from holding back, all it takes is one risky text of your bare body and he will come barreling toward you at rapid speeds ready to fuck you until you're soul leave your body.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

The power he holds over you when his hand wraps around your delicate supple neck. And The power he gives you when you do the same.

When something is around that neck it's not just power It feels like he's claimed you in some way. That little mark that Asmodeus put just underneath your tummy... He hates everythings about it all the time It makes him want to mark you in some way... leaving something more permanent

Other than choking, Leviathan loves marking you and he loves breeding. Feeling you up so full too His seed is flowing out of you. Scratching the deepest part of his brain that he is claimed you and the most primal way a human can be.

His darker desires of putting a baby in you doesn't help... The idea of making Asmodeus jealous taking the one thing he wants more than anything but can't have is so tempting...

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

The bedroom or a closed off space He will not fuck you anywhere else.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

The fastest thing to get him into your pants is jealousy which is crazy because he's always jealous.

However, a personal headcanon of mine is that Levi likes little trinkets around your neck.

One time, you wore a choker,and all he could do was stare at it. With a intense desire to play with it between his fingers and it's not just chokers, collars and necklaces are also very nice.

Chokers collars and necklaces or any little jewelry that goes around your neck is jis biggest weakness

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

HE WILL NOT SHARE YOU. If you want him to even tolerate another demon in the same bed as him it better be an act of God.

HE WILL NOT HAVE ANY OTHER DEVIL SEE OR TOUCH YOUR NAKED BODY. If you ever tell him to have sex in public he will get mad just for you mentioning that. "What are you hoping for someone to see you?? Who is it??"

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Levi rather receive because he doesn't know how to give 😭 He doesn't want to be made fun of by you but he doesn't know how to practice otherwise.

Don't worry though He has the enthusiasm believe it or not once he has a taste of you he'll be addicted.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

All his movements are primal and irregular, fast and rough He fucks you like an animal in heat constantly trying to chase his orgasm to fill you up fuck you through his orgasm and then fill you up again. There is no ounce of tact in his movements.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Leviathan does not understand quickies.

He does not get them and he doesn't care to. If he has you then all other events are delayed until he's finished. Of course if you're the one who demands him to stop he will although not without complaining. And then he'll fuck you even harder once he's alone with you. As payback

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

No❤️

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

He's average of The demon kings but still excellent for regular demons, He doesn't last as long as say Satan, Mammon or God forbid Asmodeus/Beelzebub. Your body will only be sore for a couple days when he's done with you.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

No❤️ He's so petty he'll get toys modeled after his own dick. And still get jealous of them. He has found your vibrator or dildo and flushed it or threw it out.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Hes teasing is not goofy with naughty words that will make you shudder like Beel, His teasing is borderline punishment because it is. stop thinking of other men >:(.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

His room is soundproof because he is loud. He has to remind himself to hold back but recently he's been neglecting that entirely only quieting his moan so he could hear yours.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Not NSFW bear with me: you'll never know how often he romanticizes his relationship with you. His heart pumps in his chest as his mind wanders off when he's doing paperwork about him being the only man in your life giving you flowers taking you out on dates doing all the other useless romantic stuff that couples do.How he aches to feel that wholesome, innocent experience of love.

He's jealous that other devils, especially kings, could experience such innocent gestures. He doesn't know how to show love how traditionally devils show love... And he hates a certain human he'd rather not utter their name that he experienced childhood and innocent love with you.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

His cock is so beautiful What the fuck, too bad his dick size is canonically the smallest of the kings lmao. (And the only one we can safely take ish)

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Yes, His sex drive is the third highest tying with Beel The second being Lucifer and Asmodeus obviously being the first

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

No, He has a country to run, so he doesn't have the luxury to cuddle up next to your small body and fall asleep with you in his arms. Still, he will be there to order his subordinates to clean you up, not before putting one of his robes around you after doing a few things he will be back for either a second round or something a little more wholesome.

[cosmicallyloved]

Ok time to play again

Once again, this is one sentence per (maybe) 5 lines in-game so its gonna be looong

SPOILERS FOR AMPHOREUS

(also to avoid getting my draft deleted i will post this and edit it as i go thru the game. Everything in [] is me editing to add context)

I am going in with my Therta team (Gallagher, Therta, Anaxa, Ruan Mei)

"thats a huge chest" flashbacks to camden (Aventurine VA) yelling "DOCTOR YOU'RE HUGE" every pull

My heart is beating too fast both for wvtr happened to Aglaea and what will happen to Cipher and also i unfortunately scrolled thru tumblr before starting so i saw Phainon's second form😭

"big and dumb, just a pure lump of stupidity"

Isnt Cas technically from Styxia?

Oh she is OLD [Cipher]

SHE KNOWS ITS FLAME REAVER IM HAPPY SHE KNOWS BUT WHY ISNT SHE RUNNING AWAY

Love Bartholos VA

OH NO ITS THIS GOAT AGAIN. Nvm Ez [scapegoat puzzle]

Wow thanks for believing in us Aglaea [she said without Cifer we'd be in trouble]

BARTHOLOS IS SO SLOW BROO [they didnt realize Aglaea was controlling them]

Oh so this isnt flame reaver but its the god themself [I thought Bartholos was flame reaver but apparently its Zagreus]

I thought titans die if their coreflame is taken, how is Zagreus still alive?

SHE DIES OFF-SCREEN??? well they saved me from a terrible headache in the morning at least [Aglaea's death]

WE'RE BACK AT THIS DAM HEARTBEAT AGAIN NOOO [theres a very loud heartbeat in grove of Epiphany]

MC IS MEEEEE "bro you sound so cool" "bro you sound kinda scary" [about Phainon when he was threatning the cleaners]

Nevermindddd my tears are runnin

SHES SO SELFLESS😭😭 AGGYYY

I am battling with my life rn. My ping is 999 its dying just like Chrysos heirs

Ok this is sad and all but Tribbie wdym "the scroll over there" THERES LIKE 13 [rooftop of baths]

Aglaea's words are as pretty as her

Chartonus you're huge

"Leadership of chrysos heirs-" PHAI THERES ONLY 4 OF YOU STILL ALIVE MY BOY😭

THE FLAME REAVER'S SWORD YAYY "Dawnmaker" ok fancyyy

Oh so Phainon intentionally said what flame reaver's sword looked like to have a replica? Ooo

Aglaea truly was the goat huh

Everyone yelling "better people" is so goofy Phainon why was that the motto😂 [Phainon's speech]

Ok that last part made me cry again

Anaxa and Trianne at the end of the screen, Castorice close by, Aglaea behind Phainon... This is beautiful and sorrowful

How is he talking to the dead? [Phainon]

ANAXA BEING SALTY ABOUT THE THINGS HE TAUGHT IS SO HIM CODED

OH hes imagining

Uhhh Mydei casually foreshadowing... [Sparring with Phainon again]

DID HE ACTUALLY SAY ITS A DATE?!?? HOYO W HOYO W THEY FULLY LEANED INTO IT

first it was Ying Xing and Dan Feng being married now its these two having a date (im not a shipper, but this is a major W)

Is that March's VA? [Cyrene]

Cipher being me rn with the way she thinks about people

FAT FUR IS SO CUTE AAAA ITS MY LITTLE PONYYY🥰

Does Hyacine's basic attack outside of combat have a rythm? Theres like notes im hearing

Anaxa really values his pride "if you mess up DONT say my name"

I LOVE THIS MAN😭 "talk crap? Credit deduction Phainon!" And Cas's little giggle🥺

Hyacine really didnt wanna let Anaxa get away with slacking

So full names: Mydeimos, Cifera, Hyacinthia, Tribbios, Castorice

Anaxa casually destroying everyone on his last class WOW

FAT FURRRRRR I LOVE ITTT

Is Dan Heng seriously considering letting Hyacine see his magical girl transformation?

Oh he got an upgrade! Wowww nvm not a transformation

Is Tribbie gonna die before getting to see Cipher's gift?

So Hysilens was alive all the way back to the time when skyfolk werent allied with Okhema yet

Hyacine's grandma is a chad and a badass

The way she sang "my little hummingbird" was so emotional🥰

Phai doesnt sound like Phai. He sounds too sad and emotionless [right before the campaign to go to the sky fortress]

Finally someone mentioned it, yeah if we stay until the next cycle, wouldnt MC be reincarnated as a titan? But also if they go, who will become the next time titan?

"Seal... slammers AHEM That bumping seal game" PHAIIII

ah yes the problem with most villains who celebrate before actually winning "opening champange halftime"

Its been 5 minuts, ive repeated this line 6 times

Dan Heng really taught him a come back JUST to stop/spite MC huh. Phainon understanding our friendship waaay too well

MC's inspirational words are goofy and Dan Heng's are straight to the point but also elegant. JUST LIKE THEMMM

Finally! A cutsceneeee

Also Hyacine looks like a baby with everyone else around her

Aquila's theme park, i love MC [one of the options for describing the place]

Am I just seeing these glitches or is it actual glitches and the black tide is close?

Im so happy this quest isnt walking simulator but also, i havent touched a single teleport thingy. They really stepped up the story telling, tho... I'd appreciate if there was one cutscene per hour this still feels too text heavy

That eye is really scary. Imagine just an eye following your moves...

If you walk on the rainbow bridge, theres notes that play and it also glitches. And when the OST is silent, you can hear sounds of wings which is really cool

Phai and his hero worship

For a "legend" solabis died in 3 moves (Ruan Mei buff, Anaxa and Therta ult)

MEM SOUNDS SO DISGUSTED WHEN SHE CALLED HERSELF PINK PUPPY ITS LIKE EMERGENCY FOOD PAIMON

"Combined strength" dude it was literally 2 attacks [to destroy Solabis I only attacked twice]

Imagine Aquila just cries in the third phase

Is Phai a skyfolk? Did he fall from the sky into Aedis Elysiae?

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN "IT WAS THOSE TWO" BRO ELABORATE [Solabis says this]

Mem is just a cheat code arent they [time powers]

Why does the black tide have its own special sound

Is Seliose's VA Mavuika's?

Phai really do be copying ppl left and right "resistence is futile"

Is there a thirteenth titan?! Is that why Cyrene existed?

Is it Ica thats Seliose's descendent NOT Hyacine?

Oh Phainon knows I skip fights lol

So Amphoreus might not be a simulation but a computer, i just watched Dan Heng call something a hard drive and they do look like hard drives but ✨Aesthetically✨

Ok very focused on Seliose's story rn [crazy story btw]

"Im increasingly intrigued by what happened next" sounds like sarcasm but knowing Phai its probably not

Thats dark [the entire story of Seliose. It sarted cool but ended tragiclly not for Seliose but everyone else]

Ohhh we arent fighting Aquila, we fight Seliose?

DID PHAINON JUST PULL OUT A GOD FROM THEIR PLACE??

Phai sounds so scornful [when talking to Aquila]

AGLAEA NOOO OH?? [Cutscene]

THATS IT? WHERES PHASE 3? [Aquila died very easily, no struggles whatsoever]

SHE DIED TWICE DUDE WHY ARE THEY SO CRUEL TO HER [Aglaea died twice while fulfilling her prophecies way of dying]

[cctinsleybaxter]

Furiosa thots!!! Putting under a readmore since it only just came out and i don't want to dissuade people from going. I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad (I lowkey hated it but the war rig scene made me go stupid aaaa)

Stuff I liked:

Pacing and sound design. Was really skeptical of the 2+ hour runtime but it went by quick and plotting made sense

Costuming! Any time a practical effect or something textured is onscreen (which is not always. bodes well for the 'stuff i hated' section) is awesome; I don't care if it looks stupid or doesn't make sense it's a pleasure to have in class.

Arm backstory

This car

I went in thinking 'sigh well they're never going to beat robert de niro exploding that helicopter in midnight run' and then the war rig scene happened; I was going crazy!!! I loved it from beginning to end. I actually gasped because I'd noticed the grey mass of cloth being used as a flag at the first encampment and thought 'that's my favorite thing they've shown so far' (i was going to say prop but idk that it was practical); WELCOME BACK GREY CLOTH

Chris Hemsworth was somehow my favorite performance, I felt like he nailed the combination of goofy/ridiculous and scary/threatening

Stuff I didn't like:

George Miller uses bible allegories and imagery like he's the fucking Ultraman guy (Eiji Tsuburaya.) Why make posts about how fascinated you are by 'the japanese' using catholic imagery when we got that egregious crucifixion setup. Australians are culpable.

We don't learn anything about furiosa as a person that can't already be gleaned from Fury Road. I do think this does a pretty admirable job of storytelling for a prequel, we learn about what happened to Furiosa and we (sort of) get the character development that led her to take the wives with her, but I wish it'd been a brand new character's story

I like Anya Taylor-Joy and disagree with people saying this was a miscast because she can't act and is only suited to play models (misogyny takes many forms...), but I do think she's best in roles with a lot of speaking and micro-expressions, so playing a woman who barely speaks or emotes and will later become charlize theron just wasn't it. I'm also legitimately worried about how skinny she is rn

Stuff I hated:

This movie looked like absolute garbage in comparison to the rest of the mad maxes; even the ones I think are irredeemably bad. The combination of whatever frame rate they were using and the CGI was just. Ugh.

Scene transitions (so many fades to black) and montage (specifically thinking about the sped-up footage of them assembling the rig, Furiosa's Lion King dream sequence, and 'the horrors of war') were a hot mess

Framing dementus's anarcho-fascism as worse than immortan joe's regular fascism is such a misstep it casts a shadow over the whole movie. Yeah the hedonist with the working class accent who hates art and is too stupid/selfish to run a territory yadda yadda. It's very Stephen King villain, which would be fine!, but Fury Road had such good politics it just felt tired

You're telling me that a woman who spent her childhood kidnapped and threatened with rape (interesting that said threat only comes from individual extra bad guys btw; both evil men-dominated societies accept slavery and rape but condemn pedophilia) falls for her male coworker and mentor figure. You're telling me this is a compelling relationship between two victims of the same system. You're telling me you filmed it like a YA dystopian romance. You're telling me her backstory is that she showed a guy her most treasured and vulnerable possession, a seed from the fruit she plucked before being taken from eden and losing her innocence, and he bade her keep it by putting his big-ass yaoi hand over hers, and that's what solidified their trust. You're telling me she doesn't once speak to a woman who isn't her mom. Can we die? Can we go to the wasteland?

[bitter-sweet-coffee]

1 and 5

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

hmm, well I can read this in a couple ways. like, i can usually get WHY someone ships something but a lot of the times i either fail to see the appeal or they’re so fanon it might as well be different characters, so why the insistence of the ship? otherwise, i can often think it’s a good ship but just not get why people are so obsessed with it or why it’s their OTP

so, everyone knows I’m gonna say sonadow, but this also applies to blazamy and infidget. like, it screams “i need a basic mlm ship where i just replace one character with a self insert and woobify the other one, and i’ll erase the canon love interest by giving her comphet and shipping her with the other girl character that way everyone is happy” like 💀 the creativity is on the floor. hell, gadget isn’t even a real canon character he’s just a fandom-owned oc! i’m cool with oc ships, but the people who declare him a real character confuse the hell out of me because he doesn’t have a canon personality or traits beyond the universal avatar so like. no he’s not lol. (you can like gadget btw i just don’t get ships with him especially infidget)

on a less “y’all are whack” scale and moreso a just “i don’t understand your lifestyle but it’s cool” i gotta say, a lot of the idw ships people have and yes this includes tangle and whisper because LOOK I LOVE THEM THE SHIP IS GREAT but it’s like, “mlegh i canon do much with this” energy. i get the ship but i don’t get the enthusiasm, y’know? bugbear is an exception btw

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

Hahahahahahaha, YES! now, bsc veterans may remember that i was doxxed by sonadow shippers in the 2000’s fandom, and that a certain discord server resulted in the near death of a bestie (long story that i hate talking about for privacy reasons, but i’m not exaggerating). y’allso know i’m not really good with its sister ship blazamy because i just mentioned it

HOWEVER. i have bigger issues with EVERY SILVER SHIP and wavouge. wavouge was literally my cool fruity best friends who are also girlfriends but not exclusively girlfriends because they’re like,,, free spirits and stuff. and y’all DOMESTICATED them. jail. prison. you turned them into blazamy again but this time with the stereotypical “omg hot girls do crime and they were girlfriends” trope. it screams tumblr “make everything lesbians” culture and it grosses me out. it’s like those fucking posts where someone talks about rewriting a story or myth or fixing a ship in a show or suggesting a media prompt and then someone responds with “but make it gay/what if they were both girls/let then be lesbians” and it’s just more basic lesbians. bland. boring. unoriginal. the fandom has taken so many cool relationship dynamics and just reduced them down to “uwu cute gay ppl i love them aaaa” like WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE EDGY SPICE!!! THE DEPTH!!! THE FLAVOUR!!! i’m like not aggressive mad rn i’m goofy-mad for the record because this shit bothers me but don’t hold every word i say as “the ultimate truth” i’m just casually rambling. you can have joke posts like a lot of my infinite doodles and how i respond to asks about dog&hog, but the difference is that is for HUMOUR and they are still dark complex characters in my canon even when i don’t take them seriously on tumblr

but anyways, back to silver. one word: woobification. i do not trust anyone with silver ships except myself and like a few other besties because it’s such gross mischaracterization for me? between him and scourge, some people just do not know how to act and make them so pathetic and docile and borderline stupid. i can’t enjoy most silver ships because a good portion of the content will just piss me off lolol. like, when silver is treated the same way as kat valentine from victorious i know something is SERIOUSLY wrong. ruins so much fandom content for me personally

also this isn’t ship-specific and it’s usually taboo to mention, but i am sick and tired of the intense feminization of transmasc characters. i know people will always respond with “oh but you can’t say that you’re attacking real transmascs who look like that! they can identify however they want!” but i would like to remind you that i am talking about fake people, not real ones. when an actual transmasc identifies with feminine traits and rocks that shit, they’re a real person who is well rounded with interests and likes and personality. when a FICTIONAL CHARACTER is reduced to their transness and frequently exploited for it, it makes me extremely uncomfortable and ruins characters and the ships they’re in for me. the fact that people project so hard onto these characters to an unhealthy degree that my criticisms of the fanonization feels like personal attacks on their identity says it all: let go of the blorbo, they are not yours and they are not you. let other people disagree with the fanon and not make it about how they invalidate your existence, because this has nothing to do with you actually.

and before someone comments, i do NOT mean we should abolish trans characters or not draw them with non-transitioned traits. you have have trans characters in your ships, etc etc but some of y’all just do not know how to act lol. some of my tumblrbesties on here have fantastic trans rep (you know who you are) and if fandom was more like them, a lot of ships wouldn’t be ruined for me

Treat After a Month of Tricks

CWs: Let me know if any are needed! I can't think of anything off the top of my head it's pretty fluffy

Summary: Licorice is ordered to take Poison Mushroom trick or treating, which results in a very miserable October. Will things turn around for him when Pomegranate offers to join them?

Author's Note: I'm not really sure what happened I kind of blacked out and just let myself write. Also I passed out in the middle of getting ready to post so it's technically late aaaa so sorry!

--------------------------------------------------------

Licorice was going to hurt someone. Probably not anyone important, just some random unlucky civilian tomorrow. Because this month, nothing seemed to be going his way. He looked down at the bright orange pumpkin by his side, that was currently sobbing it's heart out "I wants to go with Pomegranate Cookieee!" Poison Mushroom cried, wiping away their tears. Unfortunately, Licorice understood exactly where they were coming from.

He would love to spend the day with Pomegranate, but he was assigned this stupid task by Dark Enchantress. If Pomegranate knew he didn't want to to this, it would be all over for him. Plus, he was already a month deep into this stupid assignment. Poison Mushroom's costume was handmade by him, much to Licorice's annoyance. He liked sewing, sure, but a pumpkin? How lame! If anyone but the Cookies of Darkness knew it was made by him, he'd probably die of embarrassment. He was a badass sorcerer, after all. How many badass sorcerers could you name that sews children's Halloween costumes?

With a deep sigh, Licorice kneeled next to Poison Mushroom. "Look, I'd love to go with her too, but Pomegranate is busy and I was assigned to go with you, so shut your trap and-" Licorice felt a shiver go down his spine. He didn't need to look up to feel her commanding presence, all he needed was the refreshing scent of pomegranates. "I'm not busy. What is wrong?" Looking up, he internally signed in relief. It seemed she hadn't heard the last part of his statement towards Poison Mushroom. The mushroom turned towards Pomegranate, trapping her legs in a tight embrace. "I want to go with you, Pomegranate Cookie!!"

A very slight smile appeared on her face, Pomegranate kneeling. "It's okay." She consoled them, patting their head, which was covered in a knitted cap made to resemble the top of a pumpkin. "Now, where are you going with Licorice?" They looked up at her with large watery eyes. "We... We're going tricks or treating... Licorice always loses me! I wants to be with Pomegranate Cookie!" Licorice's eye twitched. "I don't lose you, you little-..." Licorice stopped himself, remembering Pomegranate's presence. "Anyways, you always run off! I don't lose you!"

Pomegranate sighed. "Very well, I'll go with you both, as long as Licorice is okay with it." Licorice felt a blush spread on his face. Him and Pomegranate? Taking Poison Mushroom together? Before he could even think to stop it, a goofy smile spread on his face. "W-Well, I guess I don't mind..." The small smile was present on her face once again. "It's settled then. I will be joining you both." Poison Mushroom let go of her legs, doing their happy dance. "Pomegranate Cookie is joining us!" Licorice couldn't help but laugh. Maybe this day wouldn't be so bad after all.

...

The cold autumn wind bit into Licorice's skin. He didn't have the warmth of his robes and the layers he wore underneath it to protect him this time. He did have a hoodie he wore over his sweater, but... Looking at Pomegranate, he couldn't help but smile. It was ridiculously big on her, the hood nearly covering her entire head. The hoodie went down to her knees, covering most of her outfit up. Without his permission, an even wider smile spread across his face. She looked so silly like that, yet also comfortable. He didn't mind bracing the cold if it meant he could see such a cute sight.

Pomegranate finally caught on to his staring, lifting her head up. "Do you want it back? You're shivering." Licorice shook his head. "No. I was just thinking." He saw an evil smirk appear on her face, making him groan inwardly. She knew he was thinking about her, and she was going to make him admit it. "Thinking about what sort of things, Licorice?" He moved his eyes away from her, trying to think of an excuse. "Tsk. Nothing. J-Just trick or treating, I suppose." That didn't seem to satisfy her. "Oh? Like what? Please, do share."

Licorice sighed. "You're evil." She just shook her head. "We're evil, Licorice, yes. Now, what were you really thinking?" He groaned. "W-Well, you... You look kind of cute in my hoodie, I guess." Pomegranate was silent, which worried him. Was that a weird thing to think about? However, when he looked at her, he could see a slight blush on her face. That just made the butterflies in his stomach worse. "Thank you, Licorice." She said quietly. Licorice just looked away. She was just too much for him to handle! How could such an evil person, almost worse than him, be so freaking adorable?

Before he could say anything to embarrass himself, Poison Mushroom spoke up. "When are we going to get to the houses?" Immediately, Pomegranate's attitude changed. She kneeled down to Poison Mushroom's height, her voice taking on a slightly warmer tone. "We're almost there." Licorice had to admit, he was a little jealous. Pomegranate was surprisingly good with kids, something he would never get used to. The only kid he had ever really gotten along with was Poison Mushroom, and even they were a handful.

In comparison, Pomegranate handled everything with grace. Everything. Even snot-nosed little kids. He could hear a delighted giggle come from Poison Mushroom. "And then we'll get candy!" Pomegranate nodded. "And then we'll get candy. So let's be patient until then, okay?" She affectionately rubbed the top of their head, making them smile. Licorice couldn't help but smile as well at the sight. They looked so happy... Pomegranate looked up, smiling very slightly at him. Suddenly warmth spread through his chest. He was a part of this... Whatever this was. Saying family would be cliché, wouldn't it? Though, the thought of the three of them as a family made something inside him warm up. Pomegranate and Licorice, taking care of Poison Mushroom...

Encouraged by Pomegranate's smile, he patted the top of Poison Mushroom's cap. "Don't you worry, we'll be there in no time. I know exactly where we are going." A stiffled chuckle escaped Pomegranate, making him frown. "Excuse me?" She didn't try to hide her chuckling the next time, now openly laughing at him. Poison Mushroom looked at her, and started laughing to despite not understanding what was going on. Licorice frowned. "Why don't you lead us, then?"

She just shook her head. "Haven't I been this whole time? You keep asking me where to turn every few minutes. Seriously, without me, Poison Mushroom probably wouldn't have been able to go out this year. Your sense of direction is awful." How dare she say that with a cute smile on her face! Licorice's face flushed from both embarrassment and anger. "O-Oh yeah? Well..." He paused. She did have a point. Licorice had no real clue where they were going... But his intuition would suffice, right? Pouting, he huffed. "Fine, I won't ask you anymore. I'll show you!"

Before his tantrum could get too bad, Pomegranate had a hand placed on his back. "It's cute when you do it." She said simply, melting any anger he had at her away. He hated it, how easily she was able to make him give in. Sighing, he leaned slightly against her, not enough to topple her over but enough to be considered affectionate. "Everything I do is cute, Pomegranate. And hot too, don't forget that." She just rolled her eyes, making him laugh. "Don't get too conceited in front of Poison Mushroom, they'll pick up on it."

He shook his head. "I highly doubt it." Pomegranate sighed. "It's true. Dark Enchantress accidentally taught them how to curse, and more importantly how to curse effectively. Have you ever had Poison Mushroom get angry at you? They know your weaknesses, and they will use them to hurt you." He could feel her shiver slightly. "Noted. Poison Mushroom has gotten mad at you before?" Before Pomegranate could answer, they spoke up. "Pomegranate Cookie... Needs to be more careful. She's gotten hurt..." Pomegranate just looked away, perhaps embarrassed to have someone worried about her, even if it was just Poison Mushroom.

Licorice couldn't help but smile at their antics. He wrapped an arm around Pomegranate's shoulders, pulling her closer. Poison Mushroom was holding on to her free hand, excited for the night ahead of them. He thought back to earlier. Perhaps if things stayed like this, that wouldn't be so bad. They really were almost like a family. Of course, Licorice wouldn't say anything. That would be embarrassing. He would be content with just spending these moments with these two, who he had come to care so much about somehow.

...

The group tiredly wandered into Dark Enchantress' lair, having just finished trick or treating. Pomegranate was carrying Poison Mushroom, who was fast asleep in her arms. "We should probably get them to bed, then check their candy." Licorice raised an eyebrow. "You think some weirdo put razor blades in their candy or something?" She shook her head. "Licorice, I'm dating and working for two people who would put razor blades in children's candy. I just want to make sure there isn't anything inedible in there they could mistake for a treat." Licorice sighed. A few of the houses they hit up were pretty weird... If it meant spending more time with Pomegranate Cookie, Licorice didn't really mind. "Alright. Let's get Poison Mushroom to bed, then."

Licorice watched uselessly as Pomegranate did most of the work. Again, he wasn't really good with kids, and Pomegranate seemed to be good at anything she did. In just a few moments, Poison Mushroom was fast asleep in their bed. Licorice pulled the covers over them, insisting on doing something to help out. Before they could leave, he heard Poison Mushroom mumble in their sleep. "Thanks... Dad..." Licorice stopped dead in his tracks, turning around to look at them. Were... Were they talking about him? For some reason, he felt himself tear up. Licorice liked to think he wasn't a big crier, although that wasn't the case. Still, why was he getting so emotional over being called Dad? Licorice didn't even like kids.

Then again, Poison Mushroom was more than just some kid to him. Wiping away his tears, he turned off the light and left with Pomegranate. The night was still young, and he wouldn't ruin this chance at quality time with Pomegranate. "Now to go through their candy." Licorice couldn't help but smile. Straight to buisness as usual, that was his Pomegranate. "Are you sure it's efficient to have two people doing this?" She just shrugged. "Well... Truthfully, no, but I would enjoy your company nonetheless." Another critical hit to his heart. These two were just killing him today! He placed a kiss to her cheek, smiling. "I'd spend all the free time I have in the world with you in a heartbeat."

She sighed, her cheeks turning a subtle shade of red. The sight just made his smile grow. They both moved to the table, laying out the rewards Poison Mushroom had reaped that night. "Wow. Kid did well for himself." Licorice couldn't help but be impressed. Pomegranate nodded in agreement. "I would expect nothing less from them." She sounded cold, but Licorice knew she was just as proud as he was. "Alright, let's get started."

As they went through it, they found nothing dangerous, but a few questionable objects. A packet of seeds, a signed photograph of someone dressed as a knight neither of them knew, and a bunch of loose expresso beans, not even packaged in a bag. It seemed whoever gave them just tossed them straight into their basket from it's container. Licorice and Pomegranate exchanged tired glances. "Maybe you were right, Pomegranate. Those kingdom folks really are weird..." Licorice groaned as he picked out two more expresso beans from the pile, placing them with the rest.

"See? I told you. It's a hassle, but it's better than Poison Mushroom getting sick on something not edible." Licorice looked between the pile of candy they had worked tirelessly on, and Pomegranate. Again, that warmth spread through his chest. "You know... I've been doing some thinking." Licorice spoke suddenly, placing his hands on his knees. He wasn't sure why he was saying this, but... "About us. You, me, Poison Mushroom. I... I like it. I like this. Us. Whatever this is. I... I mean, they called me Dad-" He suddenly choked up again, his face turning red from embarrassment. He was expecting Pomegranate to tease him or something, but instead he felt a warm hand cover his.

A slight, soft smile was present on her face. A comforting smile. "I like this too, Licorice." A sob escaped him. It was all too much. Pomegranate, Poison Mushroom... Everything he had found under Dark Enchantress. Did he even deserve this? Everything up until he came under her care was a swirl of neglect and pain. So why now, when he had finally rejected any hope of happiness, did he find it? Why here, with these two wonderful people? Strong, cold, beautiful and reliable Pomegranate. Sweet, ditzy, clumsy but means well Poison Mushroom. Why did they decide to choose him? He was just Licorice Cookie.

He felt Pomegranate wipe away a tear. "Why are you crying?" Blinking away the tears, he was able to see her clearly again. He shook his head. "N-No, I... I'm happy, I think. That you... You and Poison Mushroom care about me." She patted his hand. "It makes me happy as well." He couldn't help but be cheered up a little by her attempts at helping him. He knew Pomegranate was godawful with other people's emotions and feelings, but... Having her try for him made him feel a lot better even if she didn't do much. "I... I love you." He said without thinking, pulling her into a hug.

They weren't really the type to say "I love you" often, but it was the only thing Licorice could think at the moment. He loved her, and Poison Mushroom, and their family. For as long as they accept him, Licorice would happily be a part of their lives. Pomegranate didn't speak for a good few seconds, just resting her head against his chest. "I love you too, Licorice." She finally spoke, breaking the silence. He smiled in relief, even as tears continued to stream down his face. After a month, no, a lifetime of tricks, Licorice finally was given a treat, in the form of this small family.

MCC 24 JUL 21

Green Guardians and Pink Parrots Part 1/2

Alright I’m finally back! I’m only half watching while I clean my room but it’s fine.

I’m watching Fundy’s POV on my main screen and Ranboo’s on my phone where I’m typing this.

Ranboo pre game stream let’s gooo.

I’m so very entertained by the background Tubbo noises.

He’s so happy. I don’t know if I have it in my to watch Fundy’s POV even though I’m cheering for the Green Guardians.

Sands of time. Let’s go!

We are going to hear these boys in each other’s backgrounds.

This has “mom can we play Minecraft at our sleepover” vibe.

Phil’s streaming. Where is the fox boy…

Boys trying to out noise each other.

Please tell over to tubbo about how loud he is being. It would be funny.

It’s so much fun watching this boy achieve his goals. I love watching people achieve their goals.

Actual MCC server!!!

Good time for screeny. Nobody is chilling.

BURGER!

I saw him! I saw that fox run past!

“Ahh” - Ranboo

“Aaaa” -Tubbo

“Ahhhh” -Ranboo

“Aaaa” -Tubbo

High school ish age boy in competitive scenario. This will be so much fun.

Microphone magic time!

Hey I hear the boys!

And it works well.

It does echo???? How???

“It was a joint effort. I came up with some bad ideas you came up with the idea that works.” -Tubbo

Also known as every other group chat I’ve ever been in.

Lmanburg flag at rally?

What?

No. Let’s do free clout.

Ranboo being a problem.

Why is everyone in that VC?

What problems are these children causing.

Fundy is live! Where is my iPad time to dual wield streams.

Spatula???

Dual spatulas.

It’s time to start!!!

Where is the fox?

You know. I might reverse it. I might have to watch Pink Parrots mainly and just ignore green guardians.

I’m going to put Wilbur on my iPad so I can see the chaos man. Now to decide which POV I’m listening to. Probably Ranboo. Wilbur on mine is slightly behind.

They asked if Wilbur was going change his skin? That never happens. He had to wear the sweater of shame at Christmas time.

I have them both almost perfectly sinced but it’s at the point it almost sounds echoed.

No it’s just tubbo who sounds echoed.

Nope can’t get it to sync. Just listening on my speaker.

No surround sound here. Unless I get really board.

Manifesting the win?

Manifolding the win.

Bavid.

Time to annoy the other teams.

From here on I’m going to try to be productive while I watch. Wait no. The music isn’t in sync with the one I’ll mostly be watching.

Oh I forgot TapL was there. Nope it’s not syncing. Just going to have Ranboos on my phone be secondary.

Wilbur POV let’s go.

We trash talking. Look at them go.

Ahh. English area codes. What the enigma.

Let’s win pink parrots!!! How do I always end up cheering for this team…

I need to make pink parrot art.

Oh no. Just Wilbur.

Oh no. It’s all Tubbo.

Wilbur reminds me of a good camp counselor motivating his team. Not like one of my coworkers.

My brother isn’t home today so we can’t have a watch party like we wanted.

My mom is confused with my and my brother’s investment in MCC but we told her it was the national championships of Minecraft.

Oh poor Fundy tagging on the other side.

I need to remember to collect channel points.

I’m sorry why is my internet acting stupid. Work you!

Pink and purple. The tween girls second most idea color pallet.

They are over motivating the Soot.

Thought Wilbur was going to explode from peer pressure there.

Yooo. I figured out how to watch Fundy! I can split screen my ipad between the app and the website. Tiny Fundy screen and big Wilbur screen and tiny Ranboo screen on my phone.

They can’t warn fast enough.

Time to watch and ad and support Wilbur because it got too far behind for my liking while I fought with the tiny Fundy screen.

I need to put away the books I’m pressing flowers in. But I don’t want to mess up the flowers.

Wonder how soon I’ll have to start a new post because I ran out of bullet points.

Nah I’m not keeping Fundy’s POV open. I want full screen Pink Parrots.

Music brain made the lyric connection.

I could drink 3 bottles of water every round.

The boys with the superior bladders.

What happened with Wilbur? What I didn’t see anything happen with the stream.

Nox crew role play??? What?

Wait. Did red team just fall into the void?

What?

I found a skirt and I’m wondering why I don’t wear it more often.

It goes down to my knees I could even wear this to church.

Offhand wool!

Time to battle in the box!

Exciting death boots.

Go!!! Do wool! Get em!

Oh wow. They both died. At the same time.

They can hear the Tommy. That’s how well these dudes know one another.

Bragging on each other.

Everyone surprised that Wilbur is entering his old man years.

Woohoo!

Random history moments with Tubbo.

Woohoo (again)!

Ranboos just going to jinx it.

Oh no I need my charger!

Got my charger! Rejoined at “Minecraft butts make big… videos” and am quite confused.

Skilled boys!!

Poof goes the Bur.

They beat Dream???

Casually refolding every bandana I own while watching battle box.

I found a peppermint tea bag.

Come on get mid! Noooo.

Pink parrots doing pretty good from what I see in MCC live.

I thought Ranboo had an actual burger on his face cam. I was so confused for a moment.

Yelling across the room casually.

Wilbur is back. You can hear him.

Wilbur is like a kid trying to get a duck out of the pond.

Sky battle?

Shake? Shake shake shake?

Oh no. Now all the chat is crying over Ghostbur. Myself included.

Pink parrots on top so far! Never mind that didn’t last long.

Go Wilbur! Go Tubbo! Go Ranboo! Go TapL!

Wilbur go poof.

3rd atm.

Oh we’ve gone down.

No he was not good. But he paved the way for TapL.

We’re in 2nd?? Are the other teams dead or something?

If we’re going down and yelling timber.

4th. Not bad.

Woohoo!

Go green guardians!!

So proud of them.

Pants and Boots!

Still in 6th for sky battle.

Bless his heart TapL is so worried.

Red Rabbits and Green guardians are close.

My streams are out of sync. So confused.

We’re in lead!!

WE WON!!!

My iPad is struggling with Will’s stream but it’s going!

Come on Parrots!

Alright got it up again. Got it up again.

If I were a streamer I wouldn’t be good at MCC. I can’t competitive properly. I just like making jokes and being goofy.

Not a good lead but oh well never mind we don’t have the lead.

Red Rabbits YUM.

“Do not engage” as they set off tnt.

Get those stupid rabbits! Or whoever is attacking. I’ve never been good at any sports.

First again!

Hold on guys!

They won!!! With Wilbur hovering on the edge of the void!!!

PINK PARROTS FIRST PLACE (for now but I’m still excited)

Talented team!! Look at them go!

Get your screen shot little Y/N fan boy.

Not surprised we’re more popular than the olympics.

Had to go brag to my parents that there are more people watching MCC than the olympics. They were also not surprised.

Sands of Time. The wildcard game.

Sand sand sand sand.

We have a key for a vault already?

Putting away shoes. Nothing to make you be productive like watching Minecraft peeps play a competitive game.

“Everywhere is a way into somewhere”

Come on boys.

Time to switch to Ranboos POV. See if I can spot that N with my grown up can spot things vision.

Nope don’t see this mysterious letter.

TapL if you got nothing to do bother Ranboo to help him find that N.

Calm Tubbo. Tubbo chill.

Really. The map is broken and they are taking forever helping.

Key!!! Fight Fight Fight.

Ranboo apologizing.

If his team loses this kid will blame himself.

Go Tubbo and Ranboo.

Vault open!

Out of sand = prepare to book it.

1:30 (90 sec) let’s go.

Less than a minute. Evacuate!

Oh no Ranboo is lost. Hurry kiddo!

They made it?

They made it.

Off goes the Wilbur. Now to wait.

Come on pink parrots.

Is it bad I can’t see sands of time coins in MCC live or am I just crazy?

5th. Better than I expected.

THEY ARE STILL FIRST???

Barely. But they are.

We get to vote now?!?

Quick to the voting!

I had to fight Twitter to vote.

The app didn’t want to work.

What’s the acronym one?

I’m sorry did I just hear that Wilbur taught Tubbo how to spell fuck?

Ranboo has the iron bladder.

I drank so much water but I just kinda do that.

Listen to Wilbur getting soft and encouraging Ranboo in his first game.

And Wilbur wanting him back. And planning to manipulate Scott.

Doesn’t surprise me that Wilbur would manipulate Scott. I know he probably doesn’t but still.

Look at all us audience beings.

Hooray David. I don’t know who you are but sup.

I’m sitting on a yoga ball to type and I about fell off. That wouldn’t have been fun.

All of Wills chat blessing him.

David just did the vocal equivalent of 👍🏻

Ooo I found a dollar.

And of course Tubbo likes the olympics. Trampoline boy should love them.

Nooo. Not tubbo!

Whoopsy. There go the parrots.

Why does my Wilbur stream keep goofing. See this is why I don’t actually liveblog I am so behind it’d be delayed anyway.

Instead of replacing with Phil replace with Kristen.

Keep it up Pink Parrots keep it up. *clap clap*

Where is my old cheerleading book?

Oh this is so behind. I saw ranboo fall on his POV then waited a few moments to see him on Wills.

Let’s reset it again for now. Look like it’s close. And I got an ad this time.

If it gets super behind again I’m going to just switch to Ranboo on my iPad and see if that works.

Wills is slightly ahead now. That’s how I like it.

Wilbur is such a motivating human. I swear I keep thinking that I’m hearing my coworkers encouraging campers at a kickball game or something.

Oh we’re dropping. But we’re still going.

How the actual hay are we still here.

Keep it up TapL!!

2nd!

300 and a bit to get back to first.

Look at Ranboo and Wilbur. So happy.

Ok singy boi with the ability to do one sound for a long time.

I want TapL on DSMP. It would be funny I like this guy. What does this guy stream? I want to start watching him.

Ace Race? I love ace race.

Ooo buildmart. Used to be my favorite but now no one hates it anymore.

I like least liked games. Least liked games act as great equalizers. No one is happy and it’s funny.

“You have such a way with words” -TapL (?)

“Thanks I’m a song writer” -Wilbur

Why are we doing dramatic monologues?

Sounds neat. I like this deep story.

Who is dying? What? I zoned out for a minute.

Cant wait to see that audio appear on tiktok.

You go Wilbur. I believe in you.

You go Ranboo become a lover or hater of Ace Race.

“I keep on stabbing people in the butt with my fork” -Ranboo

Again can’t wait to see that audio appear on tiktok.

I love Wilburs angry “which glitch” he’s experienced all of them.

No don’t stop Wilburs channel! I’ll watch an ad but let me watch ace race.

Ranboo has learned to dislike ace race.

Feels like a achievement. You have made Ranboo hate ace race.

Tubbo did it! Whoop!

Good job Will!

Good Job team!

Second team to finish!!!

Wait it says they are in 3rd on MCC live?

Phil Head!

Hey 1st. Good job Parrots!

The perspective I watch doesn’t matter. All I see is shifting at Wilbur either way.

Ranboo booked it.

Techno. Oh how we miss him. He was there last MCC but still.

Wait why are they in the soggy? I missed it?

Dunk tank?

End on build mart! Everyone sounded so sad! I’m so happy! I picked the right team!

Oh acronym is terra swoop force!!! Go Philza.

I’m practical shot who will win.

Pink Parrots doing actually pretty good according to MCC live.

Good job guys!

Resetting Wilburs stream while nothing is happening so I don’t miss anything later.

OH WAIT STUFF IS STILL HAPPENING I SEE IT ON RANBOOS!

Oh final text block. I’m going to have to make 2 posts.

Narumitsu Week Day 1 - Beginnings

AAAA this is probably the first time I've formally managed to attempt participating in this stuff, mostly because I'm still a tiny bit inexperienced with writing

My theming of Day 1's prompt will be around Phoenix's letters to Edgeworth, spanning from December 2001 (immediately following DL-6 incident) to roughly August 2016 (including covering the day of The First Turnabout).

I'm gonna warn that there'll be spoilers for Gyakuten Kenji 2/Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth: Prosecutor's Path, Ace Attorney (the original), and Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, as well as the Ace Attorney anime episodes Turnabout Promise and Sound the Turnabout Melody. Also, mentions of death, some minor violence and the usual crap discussed in the Ace Attorney series applies here, so read at your own risk.

December 29th, 2001

Dear Miles, I dunno what happened yesterday.. The power went out and Mom and I had to eat dinner with candles since the power stayed off all night. Mom said it was a 'quake, a really bad one. I went to school today and didn't see you, so I hope you're okay.. Uh, I'm gonna try to get this to your uncle Ray, so he can get this to you, like we usually do if your dad isn't around to take my letters to you after I send them in the mail. Come back to school, please!! -- Phoenix

---

December 31st, 2001

Dear Miles, ...I heard your dad's gone away.. When I got my first letter to Uncle Ray, he was crying and stuff. He kept saying your dad won't be coming back from the courthouse.. I had to redo this letter a few times after that, cuz I kept crying all over it. It.. I... 

(The letter is smudged a little bit all over the words after that, making the contents a little harder to read on the already semi-terrible handwriting.)

Man, I cried all over this one too, but not as bad, so I guess I'll send it. I'm real glad you and Larry aren't here to laugh at me, but I'm also really missing you bad, Miles. I don't have a dad, either, so I really wish you'd come back and stay with me and Mom. Mom says she misses you too. Where did you go...? It really hurts not having you here.. I can't stop crying... I can't stop.. Please come back!! -- Phoenix

(There's a tiny scribbled P.S. on the edge of this letter. 'P.S.- Happy New Year's in advance, I guess')

---

January 2002

Dear Miles, I.. think the teacher said you moved. I'm writing this at recess, so.. it's not gonna be as good. It's gonna be longer, too.. sorta. I don't know where you moved, but.. It hurts that you did. It's all over the news that your dad got.. I think it said 'shot'. Is that why he's not coming back? Uh, never mind, don't answer that. Lots of stuff happened since you went away. Uncle Ray stopped coming to see me after I gave him my other letter, so I'm gonna try giving this one to the principal or Mr. Grossberg's to have them try to get it to you. I feel really.. empty. Especially since you didn't write back yet. (I hope I spelled that right.. I had to ask a teacher to help me spell that.) It kinda hurts coming to school every day since you're not there. I miss you telling Larry he's saying dumb stuff (cuz he does).. I miss you teaching me about law stuff. I miss you getting all the teacher's questions right and helping me read better. I really miss you. ..I wonder, if this is how it feels for you to miss your dad. Does Uncle Ray and Larry and Mom miss you this bad, too? -- Phoenix

(Again, the letter is riddled with the occasional tear stain, and the last couple of lines seem unusually shaky, as if the writer were starting to lose their resolve mid-sentence..)

---

May 2002

Dear Miles, It was raining today when graduation happened. All of us got really wet, but you know what? I made it, Miles! I'm not gonna be in elementary school anymore! I'm a middle schooler now! ..But now I'm gonna get a cold and I'm gonna be stuck in bed for a week. Stupid rain!! Oh well, at least I got almost all A's. I'm working really hard to get to college like you were saying! You said you wanted to go to college someday to be a lawyer, right? I'm gonna do that, too! I wanna find you so we can defend people together someday like your dad did! He'd want that, right? Oh yeah, Larry and I are also learning how to draw and stuff. I wanna draw really good too, like those people who draw court trials for a living. If I really end up not being able to be a lawyer, I can at least draw you in court doing stuff, right? Anyways, I'm REALLY hoping this dumb letter gets to you this time!! The last one got sent a little bit before you showed up to get your dog back in December, but I guess it's okay that you didn't answer it. It was really good to see you again, but I'm also really scared you'll get sad and lonely by yourself out there. I hope you can visit without running away this time, okay..? -- Sincerely, Phoenix Wright

(There's another P.S. at the bottom of the letter. 'P.S- You used to put 'sincerely' on your old letters before you said your name, so I'm gonna try it, too!')

---

Spring 2004

Dear Miles, Did you like my radio request..? It was the only way I could think of to get my message out there. I really hope you're still in California to even hear that, Miles. So, I'd seen that Larry had bought a radio, since he said that was how adults liked entertainment nowadays.. (I hope I spelled that right, Miles. You kept referring to our old favorite show as 'children's entertainment' every time you talked about it at school!) I heard that the station was giving out requests one day, so I called them and asked! ..It's goofy, I know. I remember you went all pink when we were kids when I said nice stuff about you when you were there to hear it.. It made me feel warm when I thought about you! I still do feel warm, but I also feel like crying, because you're not here.

You're out there somewhere, out there with someone I don't know, out there with your dog, and that's still enough to make me feel happy. It makes me hope that you'll get these letters someday, Signal Red. ...Man, now Larry's laughing at me! I'm sitting here at lunch on the roof with him, writing this, and he said I looked all dreamy when I was writing this and my request to the station. Now I'M going pink! Okay, I'm gonna quit writing now before Larry sees it and laughs at me again.. I did mean what I said on my request, though. I want to see you again, Miles. Here's hoping one day, I can. Somehow, something tells me that my voice might help me the same way you helped me three years ago.. -- Sincerely, Phoenix Wright

---

August 2013

Dear Miles, I haven't written one of these in a while, heh.. I see you still haven't gotten my letters. Damn my life. I really had hoped you'd get the last one.. When did I write that, middle school..? I bought a radio with Larry's help after that, but you never did post a request after I did, so I kept it and moved on. I've decided I'm going to become a courtroom artist, so I've enrolled in Ivy University. Actually, haha, I didn't even MENTION that part first! I got into college finally! I had to redo my SAT a couple of times to get in, but I did it anyway! I'm mainly in their art program, but I'm doing some law studying on the side. Speaking of law... I heard you became a prosecutor not that long ago. The really nasty kind, like that gross von Karma guy. ..I saw a news story, right? It talked about you. There's some really nasty rumors going around, both in the papers and even around here at school. Nobody believes me when I say I had you for a friend, Miles. You used to be really thoughtful, and also kinda blunt. But I have a soft spot for you. A.. Admittedly..

(There's a break in the page. The handwriting got slightly shaky.)

...I guess you'd term it as 'unnecessary feelings', huh? Since middle school, I couldn't quit thinking about you wherever I went. Stuff keeps reminding me of you on a daily basis. Little Pomeranians walking around reminds me instantly of your tiny dog.. Every time I hear the Signal Samurai song when they do the occasional rerun reminds me of the time Larry bought us those keychains as kids, and that one time I had the radio people play the theme song. Since I've gotten here to Ivy University, I finally started contemplating my love life. I... never bothered with it, since I had you and Larry when we were in elementary.. You never bothered with girls, so I didn't feel so bad about being too nervous to ask any out. But the truth is... Maybe you were, and still are, enough to trump any girl. Okay, sure, I still occasionally wish I could kiss one or say 'I love you' to a girl, but.. most often, I end up imagining you in that girl's place. I see us together on the courtroom floor, working together to find the truth.. I see us finding the truth and smiling, even if one of us loses. Maybe a really long hug or a kiss at the very end of the trial, when nobody's looking at us. You going all pink and telling me that's unnecessary, but me insisting, like the goof people always call me now.

(Another break in the page. The handwriting gets slightly shaky again.)

...but I can't have you by my side now. Not now. You're stuck, Miles, and I can see that even though I can't see you physically here with me. It's almost like I can karmically feel your pain. If that makes any sense. (It probably doesn't.) I want to save you from becoming that von Karma dude. I'll get there eventually, right..?

(Another break in the page. The letter actually ends up on a second piece of paper this time, carefully handwritten in blue pen like the rest.)

..There's another reason why I can't do any of that sappy stuff I wrote earlier, at least not with you. I got a girlfriend, a really pretty one that smells sweet like cake.. Her name is Dahlia Hawthorne, and she's a writing student here at Ivy! We met up at the courthouse while I was doing some reading in the library, and I bumped into her when she'd been doing some stuff for a paper. She gave me this lovely glass necklace, with a tiny blue container and some gold decoration stuff. I ended up falling for her on the spot, ahaha. I did say earlier that I like girls, too, Miles, so I guess this makes sense! We started going out after she gave me the necklace, and she's absolutely wonderful! She makes me food all the time, and she made me this cute pink sweater I wish you'd see. (Knowing you, you'd probably end up laughing at how silly it looks, but if that's what Dollie's into, then I'll go with it!) I still really miss you, Miles, though. I wish you could meet Dahlia. She's like an angel, like the butterflies she's always got around her. She's as sweet as her coffee and cookies she makes. I'd draw her, but it'd be really weird if I gave you a picture of her, she said. Uh, I guess I'll write again later, this kinda got long.. -- Sincerely, Phoenix Wright

(The letter has standard stationary belonging to the detention center, with some kind of emblem on the top, unlike the past letters which were on plain copy paper. The pen ink is replaced with pencil this time. Even the handwriting looks somber.)

Dear Miles, ...I got arrested. I guess I'd better explain, huh? Dollie had a boyfriend before me, apparently.. He was some snooty guy from the Pharmacology part of Ivy named Doug. He kept warning me about Dollie being dangerous or something, so I pushed him over and ran away. It'd been raining yesterday.. and... and..

(Tear stains almost ruins the writing in this section of the letter.)

...and Doug was gone, when I came back. I felt really bad for pushing him, honest! Now.. I might be responsible for him dying. How's that for bad luck, huh? I feel really heavy, like when I was a kid and your dad had gotten shot dead.. I can't really stop crying, and the guards are probably gonna yell at me to shut up if I start really going at it. Plus, I'm sick today, because I got a cold a little while ago thanks to all that rain.. God, Miles, I really wish you hadn't become a fucking prosecutor! I wish you were here to help me again! WHY DID GREGORY HAVE TO--

(More tear stains ruin a whole line of text following the name and messily written handwriting, making it unreadable. The writer must have been inconsolable trying to write this.)

....I had to get someone else to try defending me ib--

(The next word was crossed out after the tear-ruined handwriting. So was a few other expletives following that. Eventually, after a lot of crossed-out words in pencil, the letter continues a little more properly.)

...Crap, I ruined the letter, didn't I, Miles? I just feel so lost right now. I don't even have Larry or Dollie to make me feel better, and you're still off out there prosecuting. As I was saying before I messed up my words, I got another lawyer to hear me out. My trial starts tomorrow, so... I might be doomed. I'll never be able to become a lawyer and save you, it seems! I'll just be stuck in this gloomy prison for the rest of my life.. I really doubt I can get out of this one okay, Miles. I'm not good at doing stuff last-minute. You are, and you're not here.. Please, just this once.. Just this once, Miles... Come back.. Answer my damn letter! Please! Just once! I can't take being alone like this! I can't take it!! -- Signal Red

(The letter's not even signed properly.)

(The letter goes back to its usual format, with one addition. There's an attached drawing this time. The drawing appears to be of Edgeworth himself, holding a few sunflowers and gladiolus flowers in his hands. The drawing is also in color, with Edgeworth being drawn in some distinctive shade of maroon.)

Dear Miles, ...Everything about Dahlia was a lie! She lied to EVERYONE. Including me. She was gonna kill me for real, Miles! Maybe I should've listened to imaginary-you and trusted my gut in court yesterday. Speaking of, I almost got poisoned! I'm having to write this from the hospital today, since they wanna make sure I'm not going to be poisoned for sure. But I've changed my mind about being a courtroom artist. That's no way to save you, Miles! I've made up my mind- I'm pursuing law full-time. My defense attorney, Mia, said she'd help me out if I were ever to go that way, and now I am. Dahlia's not holding me back, and now I won't let anything short of the law itself hold me back from saving you. Sure, it's probably really stupid to quit while I'm ahead, but.. I can't really say I should hold myself back anymore. I'm scared, but I want to push on now. I want you to smile with me again, Miles. That sappy stuff I said before.. I truly mean it. I love you, somehow. I don't know exactly how else to put it. You never read these, so I might as well be entirely honest, right? I promise, Miles, that I'll save you at any cost. Even if I have to defend you in court, I'll save you! That drawing’s some proof to it! -- Sincerely, Phoenix

(The P.S. this time says, ‘P.S- If I learnt anything from my shit experiences with Dahlia, it’s the meanings of the flowers I drew you with. Gladiolus flowers mean remembrance.. and sunflowers usually get symbolized for loyalty and joy. I also hear it’s a flower associated with lawyers...’)

July 2016

Dear Miles, Phew! I'm glad to say I finally managed to get my attorney's badge! The Bar Association just approved it today, and I'm not gonna lie, I ended up crying when my results came in! I'm now going to work for my past defense lawyer, Mia Fey! She was really happy when she'd heard I wanted to work as a member of her law team, and I'm gonna move into the office pretty soon now that I'm not gonna live in my old college apartment anymore. ..Yeah, I'm still gonna keep writing these letters to you, even though you haven't answered any of them all these years. So what if you never answered them? ..I'll keep sending them anyway. I'll be more of a pest than Larry was to us as kids until the day I die or the day you come back! ..Well, I digress. (Please tell me someday if I used this right.) Uh, anyways, things have been relatively okay since my last letter. I got my law degree, and that was really exhausting. My sleep schedule's now ruined forever thanks to going through the cogs of law full-time in college, but I kinda know what I'm doing about law now. I'm still doing art, but I more or less do it strictly as a hobby now, to be honest. I'm still in contact with Larry, too, but he's usually pretty bad at his jobs and stuff. He's a bit of a deadbeat, just like you remember him from elementary school. I don't have any pets, save for Charley, the office plant that's in Mia's office. I also got a brand-new suit the other day, a really bright blue one! Man, it was pretty cheap, and it fits kinda weird, but the shade's really comforting to me for some reason. It reminds me of Signal Blue, from Signal Samurai. I still have my old keychain to this day. It's on my phone now, actually, and I think of you a lot whenever I see it there. Mia told me a bit about her sister, Maya. She says she really likes bad jokes and that Steel Samurai show that plays sometimes on TV. I told her how you used to like Signal Samurai as a kid, and Mia said you'd probably be the kinda person who likes Steel Samurai. (I don't doubt it, surprisingly. After all, it's kinda Larry's fault you and I ever got into Signal Samurai..)

(There's a second sheet of paper attached.)

Oh, there's one more thing! Larry finally got a girlfriend. She's somewhere else right now, I think, maybe some kinda business trip? Her name was something like Cindy, I think.. but anyways, she and Larry have been having an awful lot of trouble lately, so I'm sincerely doubting they'll make it. ..As for me, well.. my mushy stuff still stands. Now, I mostly daydream about you when I'm not brushing up on law stuff or checking emails for Mia or cleaning the toilet.. I keep imagining you as a defense attorney like Mr. Gregory was, standing confident and having your cold-hard logic crush any lies that might come your way.. Well, and what I said in my last letter, heh. Me.. uh, kissing you and all that. That still stands! A lot! ..I just don't know if I can say this outside of writing, ugh. I feel so nervous just writing this down, and Mia's starting to stare eye-sized holes in my soul from where I'm sitting... Does she suspect something? Okay, yeah, maybe she does. All I usually do once asked why I became an attorney is gush about that tiny class trial years ago, when you defended me despite everyone else (save for Larry) not believing me when I said I didn't steal your lunch money.. I've kinda-sorta come to terms with the fact that you're apparently the one person I can count on for me to love, since you haven't killed me and haven't done anything else to break my heart besides not reading my goddamn letters ever. Seriously, Miles.. You've never sent any letters back to me.. That's okay, though. Maybe if you never open these, you'll never reject me like Dahlia Hawthorne did.. -- Sincerely, Phoenix Wright

August 3rd, 2016

Dear Miles, Okay... Here's my first ever trial! Larry got.. arrested. Probably the worst thing that's happened to him yet, I'm afraid. He's been accused of killing Cindy, apparently?? The second I heard about it, I asked the Chief to give me the case on the double! The problem? My stupid fricking not-diagnosed anxiety, that's what's the issue here! Well, that, and this IS my first trial.. Thankfully the Chief's gonna help back me up, but to be entirely honest, I'm kind of shaking right now.. I'm writing this as I'm preparing for the trial, so I don't know the outcome. Uh, wish me luck from out there, Miles! Maybe if I manage to bail Larry out of this, AND you answer my letters for once, how about the three of us go out somewhere and celebrate with the Chief? I think you'd really like Mia, Miles. She's really smart and really strong and independent, and I think you'd probably admire that a whole lot.. (And to be honest, you really should just answer my goddamn letters for once.. I miss you still, and I'm one step closer to saving you..!) -- Sincerely, Phoenix

April 4th, 2019 -- High Prosecutor's Office, Room 1202

Papers with varying writings scattered across the maroon-clad prosecutor’s desk, His heart fluttered slightly, feeling strong embarrassment at Wright accusing him of never touching the letters in the final page of the last letter he'd gotten before the pair reunited back during the trial of Mia Fey's murder. To be fair to the defense attorney, it hadn't exactly been his fault for not recieving them.. But to be fair to himself, he'd never bothered to open a single one, not even after Wright had freed him from the burden of ever having to hold back his pain that von Karma had caused him. As a result of realizing that, he felt his face flush furiously, almost the color of his own suit.

"...Calm yourself, Miles," the silver-haired man grumbled to himself, willing away the heat from his cheeks to the best of his ability.... and then it hit him like a pile of bricks, right then, That Sort Of Realization. He remembered wordings from a couple of the past letters, and..

Oh. Now he felt as if he'd gotten slapped in the face with a white-hot iron to the face. That was how flustered he felt, attempting to re-assemble his mess of brain cells after realizing W-- Phoenix had imagined the same things he did. No wonder Franziska said Phoenix was a distraction. He kind of was. But the good sort. How is it that he managed to miss that for so impossibly long...?!

That was incredibly embarrassing, to say the least! The grey-haired prosecutor gave a deep sigh, pinching the bottom of his nose and staying like that for at least the next ten minutes before huffing, stuffing the letters back in the bag, and locating the nearest pen and paper. Then, in a flurry of determination and his much-neater-cursive-print-hybrid handwriting, Edgeworth began to write something on the paper, his grey eyes focused very carefully on the words he wrote.

Dear Phoenix, I wish to tell you something, now that you and I have a little less chaos in our lives at the moment to prevent me from answering you...
