Silly Game Time: Are you a fan of the mystery/detective genre? If so, what's a story of that genre (movie, show, book, game, etc.) you really like, and why?
It could be a more dramatic one, a more comedic one, a cross-genre one (fantasy or sci-fi or romance or western, etc.) so long as the main focus of the plot is the mystery to unravel!
Don't get me wrong, I think I've consumed a handful of mystery media, however, the likes are very reduced in this case because sometimes I'm in a very weird spot between "I just want to be silly"✨ and "I'll take this seriously" and then there's also the issue that many times I end up knowing the answers in sheer gut feeling.
That said-
I really love some of Shu Takumi's works because they're a perfect mix for me and even in these times when I go "Oh, I totally know the answer" it's just so fun seeing everything go down because it's funny.
My faves are videogames done by this man, the examples:
Professor Layton
Tumblr media
Ace Attorney
Tumblr media
And Ghost Trick!
Tumblr media
THANKS!:D

If I Didn’t Tell Her, I Could Leave Today
Four times Lana Skye and Miles Edgeworth got in a disagreement. And one time they agreed.
This is my new baby and I will periodically reblog this post when I update it!

My opinion on the Apollo Justice Trilogy
I think this is actually a really good thing. I know a lot of people are really upset because we got a port and not an actual new game, but personally I think it’s a good thing. Why? I have a few reasons
1) We have access to all the 1-6 games now
Before the Phoenix Wright Trilogy port, we could only play Ace Attoney on the ds/3ds; especially since nintendo shut down Wii Shop Channel, which was the only other place you can buy it. Honestly, I like the port because now I don’t have to re-buy a 3ds to play any of the original games. That, and the revamp of the art just looks beautiful
2) It allows more people to join the fandom
Its hard to get people to join a fandom where half of the lore you can only access through a loved, but very outdated console. As fun as it is to do, most people don’t want to sit around and listen to you explain convoluted cases.
3) New fans can play all the 1-6 games rather than having to watch playthroughs
If youre a new fan who only came around when the Trilogy or Chronicles were released, you probably aren’t looking to buy a $300-$500 ds just to play 3 ~$15 games. Its so much more fun to play the game than watch a play through because YOU get the satisfaction of playing it yourself and figuring out the cases. It gets people even more interested and invested into the series
4) You can’t play a new game if you only know half the story
Yeah, 4-6 might have a few kinks or annoyances, but it introduces important characters like Apollo, Athena, Trucy, Klavier, and their story; especially the new character growth and development. How do you expect to know or understand how Phoenix got his badge taken, or that he has a DAUGHTER? Its still pretty damn important. Chronicles could be released because you didn’t have to know anything about the prior Ace Attorney games. You didn’t even have to know who Phoenix Wright was.
All in all, I’m really excited for the port, because hey, who knows, maybe we’ll get 7-9 or something AFTER the ports release? I just feel like we need to stop looking at it as Capcom being ‘lazy’ or ‘ignoring us’ because I think they might be gearing up to give us a lot more attention.
Tumblr media
Anyway that’s my opinion! I think you guys should just think about it a bit more :)

4. tell us about your ideal battle outfit.
i’m always a slut for high boots and maybe they’re not practical but i’m wayy to useless to be out there actually fighting so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. also bright colors and capes!! capes are the SHIT. also lots of buff female guards to make sure i don’t like..... immediately die. 
6. name five iconic quotes that make you feel things.
“i imagine half-closed eyelashes, half-open lips, and turkish draperies. i don’t believe in grand emotions.” spring’s awakening
"the moment when a feeling enters the body is political. this touch is political." adrienne rich
"because lots of people are in love with each other who should never even split a sandwich." an ace attoney fanfic: the same thing, self aware
“i did meet some of the most insufferable people. but also, they met me.” buzzfeed unsolved
“i wonder how biology can explain the physical pain you feel in your chest when all you want to do is be with someone” dan or phil idk which. i think dan?
plus bonus because! words are nice and i couldn’t decide which of the others to cut:
“you’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. and you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired.” richard siken, you are jeff
18. hard candy, fruit preserves or spice cake?
oh hard candy def.

okay so au where instead of pretending to be fulbright, the phantom pretends to be athena
the UR-1 incident still happens the same, and then athena ends up in europe living with whoever and getting her attorney’s badge at a young age. phoenix meets the real athena cykes in europe on one of his trips with edgeworth, and invites her to come join the WAA. but the athena who gets off the plane is the phantom in disguise (the game just says the phantom can’t remember anything about who he used to be, so i can’t see why the phantom couldn’t be female instead)
instead of killing athena, the phantom just kidnaps her and holds her hostage somewhere. phantom!athena joins the ranks of the agency under the guise of helping acquit blackquill but really she just wants to get close enough to get the psych profile back (and then she can just ‘reveal’ that it was athena who killed metis like blackquill worries, and leave the real athena to take the fall and serve jail time)
the climax of the game (the reveal of the phantom’s identity) would’ve had much more of an impact on me personally if i’d spent the game getting to know this new protagonist character only to turn out that it was really the big bad the whole time. the way the ace attorney series has been written so far makes us set up to trust the members of the WAA. they get accused of murder (maya, phoenix, trucy) and the player knows that they didn’t do it, that they must be innocent. having 5-4 end with athena getting accused of murder and then having it actually turn out to be her as the culprit (or the phantom pretending to be her anyway) would’ve messed with the game formula in the same way that 2-4 messed with the player always assuming the client must be innocent and 4-1 subverted the tutorial case status quo of revealing the killer at the start and by having the first witness not be the killer
and then real athena cykes is brought in at the climax to testify and the truth comes out about the UR-1 incident and the rest of the game. after it’s all over phoenix invites her to join the WAA if she still wants to. aa6 still happens basically the same, except her seeming like a beginner again in 6-4 actually makes sense. athena can take the spotlight in aa7 and come into her own as a lawyer. we’d get a game of her dealing w what happened when she was younger w her mother, and what happened when the phantom kidnapped her. she’d gain confidence in her own abilities and become a kickass lawyer in her own right instead of the comic relief side lawyer they wrote her as in aa6
(aa5 is my least favourite game in the series, and it makes me sad that i dislike it bc it had so much potential. it could’ve been amazing? but instead we got a game of weird writing choices and too many new characters we weren’t really given a reason to care about)
i’ve only played dd all the way through once so excuse me vagueing my way through the exact story details
so 5-1 and 5-2 play out the same way. i don’t really have an explanation for why the phantom would be faking being athena in her inner monologue but w/e, we’ll just chalk it up to story and gameplay segregation or something
apollo has never met athena before so he has no reason to suspect anything is wrong w her in 5-2 when they first meet
5-3 is where the player starts to wonder if there’s something athena is hiding
juniper was her best friend, even if they haven’t seen each other in years, so maybe phantom!athena makes a comment about a childhood memory but gets a detail wrong and juniper is like ‘oh that’s not how i remember it’ but brushes it off
widget doesn’t always match what emotion athena’s feeling in dd, so what if this is b/c widget can sense something is wrong bc this isn’t the real athena
it would be interesting to replay this after the ~reveal~ and spot the points where something is obviously wrong
the phantom gets juniper declared innocent bc she’s playing the long game and what better way to convince everyone she’s really athena
apollo spends the whole game increasingly feeling like there’s something...off about athena
his abilities keep trying to tell him she’s lying but he can’t tell what about b/c i mean why would he suspect she’s a fake
it comes to a head in 5-4 after clay’s murder, so he puts the eye patch on etc
when phoenix runs into juniper at the space station, she mentions about how something seems weird about athena and her being...different from how juniper remembers her but she can’t quite put her finger on what’s wrong
phantom!athena swearing she hasn’t met clay before, b/c she’s not the real athena so she has no idea if they ever met or not
the trial still has the wham moment of realising who the phantom is (in the game it’s aura’s line about the detective telling her to lower the ladder but it would be slightly different here) except it’s an even bigger wham bc it’s this character you’ve spent the whole game getting to know
phoenix’s inner monologue guilt over not realising that the real athena was in danger or that anything was wrong
when blackquill is cleared and gets to be the case prosecutor, edgeworth leaves to go gather evidence on the phantom or w/e
fulbright is the red herring in the game, blackquill suspects him as the phantom so he’s blindsided by the athena reveal
phantom!athena is on the stand while edgeworth’s team ends up coming across the real athena where she’s being held
this leads to the classic ace attorney moment of someone (edgeworth) dramatically bursting into the courtroom
with him he has the real athena
she testifies and helps out the defense, phoenix and apollo are determined to help her and clear her name even if technically they don’t know her bc they’ve spent the last few months thinking they were getting to know athena cykes
also i have this mental image of athena’s sprite but she’s huddled in edgeworth’s big coat
it comes down to the thing w/ the moon rock earring, except the phantom thinks she’s won bc she knows her earring is a fake. the real athena has the actual earring though and she gives it to phoenix to present as evidence
the obligatory scene in the court lobby after the trial has them talking w the real athena
phoenix apologising for not realising she was in danger
athena thanking him and apollo for fighting her corner anyway
apollo is awkward w her b/c someone w her face killed clay but the real athena is innocent of any of that and also just helped save their asses in court and get justice for clay
phoenix offers her a place at the WAA if she still wants it
trucy helps persuade her to stay (‘i need a good assistant for my magic show’ and telling her they need more girls around the office)
the post credits scene is a few months later on a typical day in the WAA after athena has found her feet and she fits right in
the dlc for dd is the same except it’s set after the game and it involves phoenix as the defense and then athena is the assistant and it’s phoenix bonding w the real athena and being a total dad to her
aa6 happens pretty much the same
maybe we get a bit of insight into how athena is coping w everything that happened
when she and apollo investigate together in 6-2 it’s nice b/c they’re slowly bonding and become close friends after everything that the phantom!athena did in aa5
when they go down to the part of the theatre under the stage, maybe athena freaks out bc it reminds her of where the phantom held her and she tries to put on a brave face but apollo sees through it and helps comfort her and calm her
she then does the same for him when they go up high and he’s terrified of heights
the entire case is a nice bonding moment for them while they work together to save trucy
she really admires apollo as a lawyer and he’s really come to value her as a friend
apollo’s inner monologue when he looks over at athena is just him thinking about how strong she is and what a great lawyer she’s gonna be
her helping save the office really helps her feel like part of the family
athena regressing as a lawyer and seeming like a beginner again in 6-4 actually makes sense
it’s one of her first cases as lead
and her first case w out either phoenix or apollo
apollo tells her he believes in her as trucy drags him off to be her assistant
athena has a shaky beginning but ends up getting the correct verdict and helping her client
blackquill is pretty shitty to her in that case w how rough he is w her, but maybe in his mind he feels super guilty about not realising phantom!athena wasn’t the real athena, and while the real athena now tries to bond w him he tries to distance himself from her so she won’t be in danger again bc of him
this is something that can be brought up to deal w in aa7 aka athena cykes: ace attoney, they can find a balance where he still gets to be her protective big brother figure but she also makes it clear to him that she’s a perfectly capable adult and doesn’t need to be coddled
phoenix insisting athena isn’t allowed to be in the courtroom in khura’in in 6-5 is b/c he doesn’t want to put her in danger again
she’s kind of put out but she understands this is apollo’s fight
apollo still leaves at the end of the game, meaning athena gets to step into the spotlight
we lead into athena cykes: ace attorney
she’s getting more responsibility at the agency which is good but she still feels kind of lost bc yeah she got justice for her mother and she helped blackquill (which was her reason for becoming a lawyer) but she did it from the sidelines mostly
she gets to bond w other characters by having a different assistant each case (trucy, ema, phoenix, blackquill, etc.) (maybe even klavier who just keeps moping about missing apollo)
phoenix is busy w something else for a lot of the game (jurist system stuff?? fixing the law system again?? who knows) and so athena is the agency’s main lawyer for day to day stuff
let athena meet gumshoe please
athena and edgeworth bonding
a new female prosecutor who athena has a great dynamic with
bring back franziska too and phoenix is kind of put out that franziska immediately takes a liking to athena
we get to see athena grow through her own pov
the final case of the game is apollo coming home and literally getting accused of murder the second he gets off the plane
optional sibling reveal tie in during this case where athena has to figure out how to break it to apollo
athena doesn’t think she can handle defending her friend yet and so hands the case to phoenix at the start
she’s the co-counsel for the first trial day but then things happen and she has to take over as the main lawyer
she figures out the culprit and unmasks the big bad of the game on her own, helping apollo and getting him declared innocent
she’s in a much more confident place than she was at the start of the game
apollo tells her he wasn’t worried bc he knew he was safe in her hands
basically phoenix is still important to the new trilogy (aa5/aa6/aa7) but the overarching story isn’t his, it’s athena’s
this signifies that phoenix has moved onto a mentor role, and the baton has been passed to the second generation of the WAA
capcom please hire me i have a lot of thoughts
