[anotherpapercut]

I was offered a job at the boys and girls club!!

[ind1c0lite]

(Basic context is that AU of Duel Desinties where the phantom impersonates Phoenix to get him found guilty of Clay's murder, I talk more under the cut abt it jkhlj)

-Basically meant to be a parallel to turnabout trump, cause if you can have ONE boss get found guilty of murder, why not a second one?

-OK basically: everything in DD happens normally until like- a day before clays murder, Phoenix gets yoinked by the phantom somehow (he is still alive, just being held captive), Phantom is still Fulbright, but they've decided to be silly goofy (target Phoenix and get him found guilty of murder, escape police custody and then murder phoenix and make it seem like Phoenix accidentally died while on the run, thats why they didn't kill phoenix right away unlike the real Fulbright) there is an imposter amo-

-I dont have the logistics as to how this affects solving Metis's murder, and how it effects what evidence is used n whatnot and turnabout for tomorrow as a whole, so im just going nuts HGJKHLJ

-Originally I was actually imagining this taking place during turnabout for tomorrow and I wanted that case to be apollo v klavier instead of phoenix and edgeworth and thats why klav is in here instead of Simon (I decided that Simon got badly injured and couldn't stand in court for the retrial, so klavier was asked to step in)

-The courtroom bombing still happens the same way it does normally, but Apollo decides to take up the case again instead of taking a leave, instead of like, you know, healing from the traumatic event that just happened, turnabout countdown still happens as well

-Apollo and Athena do not find out about the phantom's existence until well after this trial, so they have no idea that Phoenix could've possibly been replaced, though simon, after hearing about the trial, might be suspicious about whether or not that was the real Phoenix

-The Phantom had been not only keeping an eye on Simon for a while, but was also stalking Phoenix and Edgeworth after they both started looking into UR-1, so they were able to impersonate phoenix so well that not even his own daughter thought that anything was up (though while Trucy did find him a *little* bit off, but she figured that it might've been the bombing that caused him to act ever so slightly weird, so she didn't pay much mind to it until she heard about his confession in court and realized it might've been because he possibly, ya know, killed someone)

-it's pretty much just switching Athena being framed for murder with Phoenix, and instead of the trial ending on a cliffhanger, it continues on (probably with Klavier insisting on it) ending with soloman being found innocent and Phoenix being declared guilty

-There's a couple days inbetween the end of the cosmic turnabout and the start of turnabout for tomorrow, so Athena, Apollo and Trucy all get a little bit to process the fact that "oh god my boss/my dad killed someone" (simons execution date is pushed back a bit in this au) and they probably get to talk with Klavier and eventually a lil bit with Simon after he gets out

-Im not sure how it all winds down in turnabout for tomorrow (Phoenix escaping and being at large is basically the perfect cover for the phantom to resume being fulbright for that trial) but they do eventually realize that the phoenix who confessed wasn't the real one and now there's a search on going to find out where the real one is being held captive, hes fineeee just ready to take a week long nap and a good vacation (along with every other waa member)

-I dont have anything else to add on rn but if you want to add something or just throw in a scenario feel free to!! this idea has been bouncing around my head for like a month now and Im very happy to finally show yall it

HELLO I AM ALIVE. i wasn't going to start writing again until s7 began bc i needed inspiration and have been feeling ~blah~ lately about a lot of things but what can i say this one kind of hit me in the face and i couldn't stop writing once i started SO.

this is temporarily called the dumbass fic ✌🏼

“You make me feel like I’m going nuts.” Eddie mumbles and reaches for the NyQuil. It was barely seven pm, but he was ready to curl into bed for the next twenty hours or so.

“You need to be eighteen to buy NyQuil.” Buck continues, his smile still not fading. 

“Mmm,” Eddie mumbles as he pours the liquid into the small measuring cup. He goes a little over the line, hoping it will work in his favor and he’ll be put out of his misery sooner rather than later. 

“And I forgot my wallet.”

Eddie hums and nods at Buck as he downs the NyQuil, scrunching up his face and gagging as if he just took a shot of cheap tequila. “Buck, did you rob a CVS?” 

“What? Oh. No. No no, I had Apple Pay!” He assures him. “But the lady didn’t believe I was over eighteen” 

Eddie looks Buck up and down once, twice, three times before meeting their eyes. “Ha. Haaaaa.” He laughs sarcastically and leans his body over the counter. 

“No, Eddie. I’m serious. They really wouldn’t let me get it without an ID!” Buck was persistent. Eddie would give him that. “So I- I just searched my pockets, looking for something, anything.” 

“And you pulled out my badge..” Eddie begins. 

“And you need to be over eighteen to be a Firefighter!” Buck nods excitedly, a little too proud of himself. “You, Eddie Diaz, are looking at Eddie Diaz of the 118!” And - that’s why Buck was grinning like an idiot.

Didn't sleep much last night lol

[chilinandeppresing]

I have an idea.

An LMK Season 5 Theory:

The underworld has many reasons to hate Wukong, and Macaque and possibly even some other members of the group. Wukong has virtually eliminated the possibility of death, Macaque has died but managed to return to life, and Wukong's old traveling buddies, Pigsy, Tang and Sandy should technically all be dead but are either suffering from amnesia, reborn(which shouldn't be the case for Tang because his rebirth cycle was supposed to have ended), or simply have outrun death somehow + the amnesia or memory erasure. But most of these people are out of the Underworld kings reach, all under "protection" by the Celestial realm. Wukong, Pigsy, Tang and Sandy all TECHICHALLY immortal warriors of the celestial realm, while Macaque was raised from the dead by somebody with underworld powers, LBD, possibly with some authority there that they don't want to disrespect even after her death.

With all of this taken into consideration, the theory that one of these guys will be dragged back into the underworld is hard to believe, even with the Celestial Realm in shambles and LBD dead. So I have another possibility.

What if, due to the way he was born, Mk isn't in the "book of death" at all? And due to this, and the fact that nobody of celestial realm status(like if they attacked him the celestial realm would defend him) is protecting him, they may be curious about what he is. Possibly even hoping he could be their weapon. Or possibly just wanting him to not be able to escape death. Although I doubt that, at least one of the Kings of the Underworld seemed to have some sort of plan. A plan that involves Mk. I mean, did anybody else see the weird connection that Mk seemed to have to the fabric of reality? Immediately when the Universe was almost ripped apart, he lost his connection to his monkey form. Why? What could they be planning to do? Maybe they do want him as a weapon, or at least one of them does so that he can reshape reality in their image.

[faithfromanewperspective]

after spending far too long crying about how my family doesn't accept me for it (which isn't quite fair, they don't know how important it is to me because I didn't tell them) I've decided that this is a big real part of me and may well be part of my calling, my identity etc given how close to my heart it is

I want to provide homes and I want to create communities. I want to care for people in said communities and have them do the same for me. I don't want to just pay it lip service. I've worked my entire life to figure out how to do this well: environmentally sustainable urban design, trauma-informed interactions, centring diversity including disability, the value of authenticity in connection, unlearning amatonormativity and cishetnormativity and the nuclear family and instead brainstorming based around what works best for each individual and us as a collective group.

personally, I don't give a fuck if people think I want to help people who don't deserve it. if I can manage it and it makes me happy that's better than just about anything else. if they care about me they'll listen when I say that I don't enjoy what are supposed to be pleasures when I feel like they're distracting me from connecting with people the way that I want to. but I also have to be realistic: I can barely take care of myself now, I can't be a saviour, but I can be a catalyst toward something magical. I can't do it alone, but how can I find people who want to do it with me if no one knows how central this is to who i am?

Kinda fucked up how all the people I know are like "Yeah I know what I want in my life. I want to work in X field and I want/don't want a long-term partner who I'm going to marry, I want kids and-"

and I'm there just like 🧍

noisette is canonically a terrible cook (according to side comics anyway) so i love the idea that she inexplicably makes amazing coffee

it makes sense tho bc her cooking usually involves adding sweets to normal foods but i think people do that with coffee anyway (i do not drink it so i’m not sure)

just don’t ask her to make you black coffee LOL

IS SHE REALLY LMAO i just assumed she only made sweet stuff bc i remember reading that all she could make was sweets; i didnt know it translated into her being a shit chef 😭😭

But ! I did remember the sweets thing and i was thinking of that! Bc i think Peppino would NOT be okay with black coffee. Its very common to hear about people who ONLY drink black coffee while also being a line cook/retail worker/what have u. But i worked in an ER with attending doctors who have worked there for 30 fucking years, and like three of them ALWAYS asked for coffee light n sweet OR ‘half n half, 6 sugars’ like they were trying SO HARD to pump their bloodstream full of sugar instead of getting like 3 red bulls 😭😭

[koszmarnybudyn]

Do I think Gorgie having enough of Jon's bullshit and them not talking anymore is a good decision? Yes. Will i still think about it forever now also yes.

Like Jon was told not to sewer his support system, he kinda tried to fix it, failed, went into a coma and now hes not really human and everyone doesn't trust him/like him/think he's sus as hell, and to be frank he did dig that hole himself. But god is it painful to watch the dirt go up.

[sharp-tooths]

Finished reading the Trigun manga. I feel like some one tied me up and hung me off a cliff before just straight up leaving before i could even process what was happening

[todayisafridaynight]

all the persona and rgg talk made me have a dream today that there was a persona x rgg game in the works and Im borderline upset it hasn’t happened yet lmao

oh rite actual question lol… anyway uhhh keeping on topic if you had to pick characters from both series to interact in some way who would it be

the closest we'll ever get to an rgg x persona game is the costumes for p5 dancing in starlight i fear but at least makoto can enjoy her video game about a dragon being like a yakuza

characters to interact with tho ... my favorite question to ponder .....

for rgg i cycle between ryuji, saejima, and kiryu- i mean ive had at least three dreams of hanging with ryuji.. and he was as cool as i thought hed be there ... if not him then going fishing with saejima would be nice :) or bbqing with kiryu :)

for persona hmmmmmm ... i think wandering around target for three hours with the dojimas would be fun
