I adore subtle confessions of love.
That's why I like the idea of Phoenix and Miles never saying it explicitly - they say it in different ways. And it just fits their characterization better. After all, what's an 'I love you' to...
"(...) But... A man appeared and stood fast against that selfish me. (...) No matter how desperate the situation... instead of giving up like most people, that man would hold strong with his undying faith. And then, before I knew it... I began to trust in that man as well."
and also
"The sight of that man still shines brilliantly in my eyes"
(if only he said it to his face)
With Phoenix - he's never quite as damning, he's more of an action guy, although I would like to unpack the following:
"It's because of you that I became one (a defense attorney), Edgeworth. Not that I have any regrets. I really don't."
Yes, Phoenix. Even though becoming one definitely made you almost meet your end multiple times. Even though if you weren't in that courthouse, you wouldn't have met Dahlia. Even though Edgeworth tried to get you and Maya a death sentence. Even though Von Karma electrocuted you and Maya. Even though Edgeworth let you down by running away. Even though Maya was kidnapped in order to blackmail you. Every single one of your misfortunes is linked to you being a lawyer, and you don't regret it at all (no wonder he was hesitant about getting his badge back after AJ if you think about it... he may not regret what he's done already but he's definitely hesitant about what being a lawyer again will bring upon him - and don't you know it, he even gets blackmailed again, 2 more times).
But he doesn't regret it at all, because he did accomplish his goal. He saved him, and everything he went through because of it was worth it to him. Every struggle, all the anguish. He doesn't regret it at all.
Honestly, if narumitsu could ever become canon, I would like it the best if it were off screen, and just sneakily implied.
Like maybe during a case, a piece of evidence is a tube of toothpaste and Phoenix points out that while all the other tubes of products in the victim's house are squeezed unevenly, only this specific toothpaste isn't, so that means someone that isn't the victim used it - and Edgeworth would say something like 'So you're suggesting the victim had the same barbaric tendencies such as yours, but was involved with someone that didn't' 'A reason to kill indeed' and then Phoenix's animation sweating bullets.
....Or other stuff like that.
It would just be both extremely cute and extremely funny to me.
Small artists you need to understand that when you see an artist who you think has 'made it' tells you not to worry about the numbers and to not fret about getting more likes than reblogs they are not telling you it because they think you are stupid for caring or because they dont need to network to survive they are very likely telling you that because they have witnessed first hand the way the numbers game tears people to shreds in terms of mental health and motivation
reblog if you enjoy napping, being cozy, being conked out, snoozing, wrapping up in blankets, sipping a hot drink, catching some z's, hugging a plushie, or otherwise relaxing and resting
It just makes a lot of sense why Marcille and Laios would be good friends, really, because Marcille Will Tell You What Is On Her Mind. If she doesn't like something, she throws a tantrum. If she's down to clown, she clowns like a champ. If she has an opinion, she voices it clearly and concisely. Laios knows exactly where Marcille stands in pretty much every topic.
On Marcille's end, she's down to clown more than people give her credit for. Laios said "yo let's play with these bones and rearrange them in funny ways" and Marcille joined right in. Like, yeah, she'll want to bonk his skull in sometimes, but aside from the monster and dungeon (well, she does have this one, just differently) fascination, she's pretty much in the same wavelength as Laios when it comes to most things.
Which is cool! Because they could've made them hostile siblings in law but they are besties actually.
