LMK God Games
Did somebody say LMK x Epic the Musical??? I had to post this after seeing these amazing YT animatics which I highly rec. Anyways, enjoy some LMK Nezha content!
[NEZHA]
Father, general, rarely do I ask for favors
Now I humbly, beseech you to spare some mercy
For a dear friend who’s a prisoner far from home
Sun Wukong.
[LI JING]
Divine intervention, is that what you seek?
To untie apprehensions that were placed on that beast?
You may upset the balance for an ape full of shame
But if he's worth the risk of such loud dissent
Let us make it a test.
Convince each of them that he deserves to be released, and I'll release him.
[NEZHA]
Who's them?
[LI JING]
Nüwa! Lao Tzu!
Guanyin! Ao Guang!
Chang’e! Or Me.
What do you say?
[NÜWA]
Great.
[LAO TZU]
Very well.
[GUANYIN]
Agreed.
[AO GUANG]
Hmph.
[CHANG’E]
Groovy!
[NEZHA]
Bring it.
[NÜWA]
You know well I'm a fan of nature’s all
So with so many creatures gone
Has Wukong no heart at all?
[NEZHA]
Their intentions meant him harm
He had companions under his charge
It was a hard choice to make
To live another day and prevail despite the stakes!
[NÜWA]
Fair point, release him.
[LAO TZU]
Trust is not real without care
Why should we offer him a hand?
He turned his back on all his friends.
[NEZHA]
Did you forget they failed to listen?
He was betrayed and then imprisoned
But if you make the right decision
He can still build a future with those he misses.
[LAO TZU]
Fine, release him.
[GUANYIN]
Though he is strong and mighty, your friend Wukong
Has a callous heart, disregards others for himself.
[NEZHA]
He was busy fighting-
[GUANYIN]
More like busy spiting the deities
It is only fair he faces comeuppance for his crimes.
[NEZHA]
Wait! Please reconsider this….
[AO GUANG]
Really Nezha? These old tricks?
[NEZHA]
Ao Guang!
[AO GUANG]
What kind of so-called warrior just uses his power
Uncaring of those in the crossfire?
He didn’t even spare his brothers
Turned to fodder to sate her
Traded all their lives to demons of bone
Untrustworthy, obtuse, upfront
Pathetic and weak like his son!
[NEZHA]
Hold your tongue now! His son's my friend!
And when were second chances something we can’t spare?
You want redemption? Then set him free
To get back to his homestead for atonement, you’ll all see!
[GUANYIN & AO GUANG]
Very well, release him.
[CHANG’E]
Hey bestie~
So many legends, so many tales
Give me one good reason why yours should prevail!
[NEZHA]
He's got some nice golden vision!
[CHANG’E]
Try harder.
[NEZHA]
He wields a mighty staff!
[CHANG’E]
You can do better than that!
[NEZHA]
He's kind of funny?
[CHANG’E]
Eh…
[NEZHA]
Never once does he stop loving his mate.
[CHANG’E]
Release him!
[NEZHA]
I’ve done your test and passed! Release him.
[LI JING]
You dare to defy me? To not know your place?
No one beats me, no one brings heaven shame!
Power, madness, balance, justice
I must show you right from wrong
To cease this tantrum once and for all!
.
.
.
[GUANYIN]
Is he dead?
.
.
.
.
An entire lifetime unfolds between Nezha’s heartbeats.
Sun Wukong’s life.
As a troublemaker, a warrior, a king……
Then a husband, a father.
How lovely the day had been, the memory as sweet as the peaches and plums they had gorged on.
And then-
“YOU’RE ALONE!”
The words erode him from within like rot through fruit. He’s not alone, he has powers mortals could only dream of having a speck of, he has his father, brothers and duties-
He has Wukong’s friendship. Or well, he had it.
Nezha blinks and suddenly he sees Xiaotian, MK, Wukong and Macaque’s son, their legacy, the star to their sun and moon, Nezha’s-
“-friend, I couldn’t ask for more!”
Wukong was wrong.
He knows what he’s fighting for now.
.
.
.
.
Through the blinding glow of Li Jing’s attack, a flurry of pink lotus petals explodes in retaliation.
Gritting his teeth, Nezha’s arms trembled under his shield. He takes one step forward, then another, and another-
His shield shatters, he takes two steps back. He barely raises his spear in time to block his father’s next blow. The shaft of his weapon is molten lava in his palms.
He loses his spear first. Then most of his armor, then his wheels, ah he hasn’t walked in a while, with how shaky his legs are he’s surprised he’s still upright-
Then he’s not. His father’s wrath rumbles in warning. What was one more act of defiance?
And so Nezha, Third Lotus Prince, crawls up those final steps and uses the last of his strength to grab the Pagoda-Wielding General’s fluttering cape.
.
.
.
.
[NEZHA]
Let him go….please
Let him go…..

there are two wolves inside of you. One of them is fretting that you went through all the effort of making a new art account just to pigeonhole yourself once more into a specific fandom, which holds you back from exploring original art concepts that you care about. The other one came up with three separate ace attorney comic ideas in the last hour alone and isn't stopping anytime soon
#laurellala talks#am i unwell? perhaps#i also drew like 5 more sketchy comics i haven't posted#and a full colored drawing i haven't posted bc i'm overthinking if i need to attach comics to it also or post on its own#i want to draw more muppets interactions and come up with an actual theoretical muppets ace attorney case!#they would get to explore the muppet studio as a location aaa it would be so cuteee#and i'm in the middle of drawing a comic of miles and nick video calling and teasing a young trucy (i love trucy)#and i NEED to draw nick and maya interactions from trials and tribulations case 3 it's so sibling coded agh my heart#also i want to draw lisa basil in general the roboty software company lady#i want to design an ace attorney self insert called Laurel Lyre (you're a liar) and draw sprite expressions and character interactions#she would be an art student that Nick knew from college and she was painting a still life of the scene of the crime#and her painting has something different than how the crime scene looked which is used as proof in court#ALSOOO i had an idea for a silly comic of nick visiting miles in germany (platonic coded)#and of either a comic or short story idea of them going out to dinner together. This one is hard to explain but it would be good#I WANT TO DRAW FRANZISKA TOO i have an angst comic idea for her! And i want to draw her as a kid in dance class#i feel like she has so much scrutiny of herself which is very “i was in dance as a kid” coded. Ballet probably#I ALSO have a comic idea of a holiday party that took place before miles' murder trial but after steel samurai case#where miles begrudgingly talks to phoenix to avoid small talk with strangers and they talk about college#specifically like. it is canon to me that phoenix was in an improv group in college. That's where he learned to bluff. he's so silly#i also want to make a comic of the parents at trucy's school trying to sus out how old nick is#since he's only like what 17 years older than her?#I also want to make a gilmore girls joke but i can't tell if this is too dated to be funny. Do people know this show still#i had never watched it before so i just watched like half a season of it just to make a joke. It's cute.#What Else. I have like 5 animatic ideas but i need to ask my friend what she uses to make hers bc in the past I've used imovie on my phone#do not recommend#and if i don't draw everything RIGHT NOW i'm going to lose interest and nothing will get made!!!!!!#andandand I STILL NEED TO FINISH TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONSSSSS#i got sooo far i'm doing so well in the waitress case#i need to finish it so i can finally understand apollo justice and know what the HECK happened in that time skip#ace attorney

( pairing ) : clarisse la rue x fem!reader
( words ) : 2000
( note ) : noticed that clarisse has her nails painted in the show and… well this came out of that. reader is heavily aphrodite coded but i don’t think it’s explicitly mentioned anywhere what cabin she’s actually from? only that she’s not from apollo’s and she’s on clarisse’s side for capture the flag
also don’t we just love that every fic i’ve ever published is literally 80% pining? honestly can’t tell you the last time one of my fics didn’t have a scene that goes on for like three paragraphs about how much admiration reader has for their love interest
oh and happy new year!!

Summer days can last for a lifetime and a fulfilling one at that. There’s so much to be done when the world wakes, engulfed in light and warmth, nurturing possibility. There’s so much to look forward to. But today, that anticipation has chosen to work against you.
The sun is setting now, approaching dinnertime, and Clarisse is nowhere to be found. For all of her spontaneity and occasional recklessness, it’s unlike her to abandon routines. That is, routines she shares with you. And walking to dinner together happens to be one of your longest-running practices.
You tried to ask around, careful not to sound too concerned so as not to spark rumors. See, Clarisse La Rue has never been publicly caught in a state that warrants concern. Clarisse La Rue is untouched by the fears that plague the rest of them. But you know better.
It isn’t until you come across a few Ares kids, very obviously overworked and looking nearly faint with exhaustion, that you come to your senses. It isn’t infrequent that Cabin 5 becomes victim to one of Clarisse’s drills, training until fatigue overpowers their fear of her authority. As predicted, you find her in a clear patch of the forest overlooking the strawberry fields. Some days she likes to train here, away from watchful eyes.
The setting sun casts her in golden light, bronze armor glistening alongside golden skin. Clarisse liked to train in full gear — a fruitful habit to get herself accustomed to the added weight of leather and metal. It allows her to move with ease, swinging her spear with grace despite the strength of her whole body being evident in every step. With her head held high, spear raised, and the incredible speed at which she moves, she doesn’t look even the slightest bit mortal, but rather a god amongst men. A warrior and hunter. She is the perfect picture of divinity if you’ve ever seen it.
You let your feet drag against the dirt, a fallen branch snapping beneath your weight. It informs Clarisse of your presence from a safe distance, although the remnants of her focused state aren’t any less intimidating. Her eyes burn bright like the electricity that charges the tip of her spear.
“I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” Clarisse realizes her error with a glance at the horizon where the sun is setting and you smile warmly, dismissing any indication of displeasure. You watch her demeanor change, the rigidity in her posture fading with an apologetic tip of her head.
“I’ve been training. Those idiots would know that if they’d stuck around to join me.” Something tells you that that isn’t entirely true. Anyone could assume that she’d been training, but the matter of where was an entirely different question. As far as you know, this particular spot is something only the two of you are familiar with — a small refuge away from everyone else.
“Well, we don’t all have your… passion for these things.”
“You think I’m ridiculous,” she says with a sigh.
“Babe, you’re training for capture the flag. Not war.” Clarisse only shakes her head, knowing there’s no point in arguing. She thinks this is something the two of you might never see eye-to-eye on. While you like your fair bit of competition, Clarisse takes every victory with great significance. As she does with every loss.
“Here, I’ll help you,” you say, approaching to tuck a stray curl behind her ears. Your touch lingers at her cheeks, flushed from physical exertion and maybe something more by the way her gaze settles on your lips. Every intake of breath is louder now that you stand toe to toe and the adrenaline has started to wear off. She’s too worked up to have done this all for a game of capture the flag. “I hope you’re not doing all this to get back at Percy.” Her eyes still linger on your mouth and you think she might’ve not heard you until her brows furrow in confusion.
“Since when are you on a first-name basis?”
“Oh, come on,” you say with a disapproving shake of your head. “He’s just a kid.” You reach for the leather chord at the edge of her breastplate, undoing the knot with ease.
“He’s full of it.” She refuses to look at you now, her head turned upward as if she’d developed a sudden interest in trees. You can’t tell if she’s trying to maintain her composure to keep herself from saying something she’ll regret or if your gaze and proximity was distracting her from the discussion. Maybe a bit of both.
“He’s a baby. You could body-slam him into next Friday. It’s hardly a fair fight.” You untie the last knot keeping her breastplate in place, tugging upward to slip it over her head. Clarisse doesn’t even seem to realize that you’d freed her of her armor until the weight vanished from her body.
She looks at you then with an expression you can’t quite read. Something warm, like gratitude, but reluctant. When she speaks, it’s unexpectedly solemn.
“Do you really believe he killed The Minotaur? Him? Gods, everyone here trains themselves to death for that kind of stuff and he gets all the glory? He doesn’t even know how to shoot.” Now that you’ve been made aware of the gravity of the situation, it’s suddenly harder to find your words. This isn’t the petty rivalry you’d assumed it was, and you had to handle it as such.
“Well, I’m sure a few things have been exaggerated here and there, but that’s not his fault. People love to talk about him, but nobody’s really talking to him. I don’t think he’s had a say in anything that’s been said about him. You know how rumors spread around here.”
“But he’s—”
“Look,” you start, taking her hands into yours. “I’m not asking you to make him friendship bracelets. Just… try not to drown him in the lake, okay?”
You know the exact moment an idea hits her by the mischievous glimmer in her eye. It takes a lot of strength not to bury your face in your hands, afraid that you’ve now planted an idea that would get the poor boy killed. Or worse.
“Clarisse, please.” She surrenders, albeit reluctantly.
“Fine,” she says. Still, you’re not entirely convinced.
“Good. Now say it.”
“What?”
“Say you won’t drown him in the lake.” Clarisse laughs, but it dies down when she realizes you don’t plan to join her.
“You’re kidding.”
“I’m really not.”
“I swear not to drown Percy Jackson in the lake,” she agrees through gritted teeth. You don’t say anything about the way her hands tighten around yours as if it physically pained her to say the words.
“See? That wasn’t so hard,” you tell her, ignoring that it did, in fact, seem hard. “Now, what are we gonna do with those nails?” Clarisse stares blankly at your joined hands. Chipped black nail polish alongside your perfectly pristine, perfectly preserved set of nails.
“Why do we need to do anything about my nails?”
“Honey, I painted these like two days ago. What do you even do to get them chipped like this? I mean, are you fighting with the back of your hand? I don’t understand.”
“I have to train, you know?” she says, like it’s meant to explain anything. You know better than to ask her to elaborate.
“Shame. You have very pretty nail beds. You should spend less time fighting puppy dog-eyed middle schoolers so you can actually keep them pretty.”
“You think I have pretty nail beds?” You shrug.
“Among other things.”
“Well, tell me about these other things.”
“Hm, and people think I’m vain.”
“Come on. What other things?”
You take a moment to look at her — to really look at her. To dissect every inch of her face and the features that create the picture of beauty you know and love. There are far too many pretty things to point out, but you find yourself drawn to one in particular.
“You have the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen.”
“Well, thank you.”
“Shut up. I’m not finished.”
“Of course. Don’t let me stop you.”
“And you have the most gorgeous smile.” Clarisse beams with pride. “Yeah, that one. And it doesn’t even matter if it looks like you’re just about ready to tear someone’s throat out with your teeth. I just like to see you happy. I like hearing you laugh even better.”
And laugh she does. Low but sweet, like honey. She looks like the teenage girl she is, deeply infatuated and with a capacity for love she has only ever shared with you.
You indulge in the temporary amusement it brings you to think of how horrified Clarisse might be if anyone else were around to hear her giggle. Clarisse La Rue, Daughter of Ares, infamous for waging war on whichever unfortunate soul so much as breathes in her direction — producing a laugh so gentle and beautiful it could give Orpheus and his songs a run for his money. And you might be the happiest girl alive to have been the cause of it.
“You’re sure you’re not Apollo’s kid?”
“Are you calling me a talented poet?”
“I’m calling you a sap,” Clarisse insists with a sour expression, but her voice is saturated with mirth, eyes too bright, and you know she isn’t entirely opposed to your antics.
“I think the term you’re looking for is romantic.”
“Yeah, right.” She rolls her eyes.
“I know I’m right, but thank you for the confirmation.”
“I know the nail polish fumes are getting to your head,” she mocks. You feign defeat, retreating with an exaggerated sigh.
“Maybe.” Two steps to your left and you’re concealed by a tree, its trunk twice as wide as either of you. You peak your head, locking eyes with Clarisse. “Or all that training is slowing you down. Honestly! If you’re gonna try to insult me, at least try to come up with something original.”
“Oh, you think I’m slow?” Clarisse asks, every word a thinly veiled threat — a challenge, and one you’re willing to accept.
“Unless you want to prove me wrong.” Clarisse lunges at you without warning, almost too fast, but you’re able to gather your senses. The tree had bought you just enough time to keep her whole body from slamming into yours, the force of it undoubtedly capable of launching you both to the ground.
You dash through the woods as fast as your legs can carry you, your only advantage being that Clarisse must have tired herself out from training. But you know she’s hot on your trail.
From here, you can see the bonfire, flames burning high. You turn, prepared to declare that your victory is just seconds away. You’re tackled to the floor before a word can leave your mouth.
“Oh, come on! That’s not fair, I was distracted!”
“Distracted by what?” Clarisse laughs hysterically although taking a much more graceful tumble to the floor than you had. She’s covered in fallen leaves and her jeans are brown at the knees where the denim fades.
“The pretty girl chasing me.” Clarisse is beside herself with joy, clutching at her stomach and close to tears, and it takes her a minute to calm herself. When the two of you have settled, she speaks again. Or tries to, that is.
“Oh, you are so—“ You place a kiss on her lips, short and sweet, but enough to leave her speechless. Clarisse turns a violent shade of red and you think she might need another minute to calm herself. You take that time to revel in your victory.
You stand, offering your hand to help her up.
“Come on, let’s get dinner and you can rest for the game tomorrow. If you’re gonna lead us to victory, you’re gonna need your strength, captain.” She smiles, intertwining her hand with yours.
“You’re gonna be there? Right beside me?”
“La Rue, you’re crazy if you think there’s even a chance I’d ever leave your side.”

who or what gives voice to those demon children keeping time in Tesla 2 4 6 8? what in the world are they chanting (other than the titular numerals)? the song fascinates me endlessly and I need to know what kind of spell I'm under.
JF: Maybe I'm spoiling it, but I am happy to talk about some of my favorite stuff.
it's from a remarkable record made called "1,2,3 and A Zing Zing Zing" recorded by Tony Schwartz in the early 50s. Schwartz was a unique figure in the world of sound. He made a clutch of albums for Folkways that were... kind of uncategorizable... possibly best described as cultural anthropology?
While the idea of "song catchers" like Alan Lomax might be better understood--where a fellow rolls into town and captures people playing songs on a tape recorder set up in a hotel room--Schwartz' technique was to move more stealthy through the world, observing but not interacting directly with his subjects. Maybe a bit like the manner that the Maysles Brothers revolutionize documentary film by building a fully portable camera and sound rig that could move in and out of small rooms and consequently not make people feel utterly self concious, Schwartz walked around New York City with some emerging recording technologies (notably headphones and a "portable" reel to reel tape recorder strapped to his chest with a hand held microphone and made field recordings capturing conversations and sounds sometimes at quite a distance. (In the beginning his rig was as bulky as a backpack, but I believe it got smaller over that decade and his set up might have even ended up more like spy-ware)
"1,2,3" is all kids talking and singing, playing games and reciting rhymes--many that would be familiar to all of us but in a lot of ways the texts are un-evolved compared to now. All the kids have strong New York accents but they are also KIDS so they have a curious kind of marble-mouth talking. (And on a technical note there is a curious tunnel-like reverberation across all the recordings-maybe it was imposed after to make the recordings sound less raw, or maybe it was just recorded in a very echo-y place? But the effect makes everything sound HAUNTED which is a big part of the Tesla remix sound for sure)
youtube
The other long playing album I have of his is "The World from My Mailbox" which compiled field recordings from around the world. The story I've heard is he actually got his address included in early portable tape recorders (maybe Ampegs or Wolensaks? I don't know but in the early "hi-fi" 50s these smaller-than-a-recording-studio recorders were kind of a fad piece of consumer electronics) In this piece of paper that came with your recorder it invited owners to join his "tape club" and exchange tapes with him. Folks would send him recordings unique to their place in the world, so the album has sounds of carousels and parades, dogs howling and street singing and everything you could imagine from around the globe. It's kind of nuts. (I really don't recall 100% but I at least auditioned the sound of the auctioneer from "Mailbox" in the middle of The Guitar but I might have used the auctioneer from the Elektra Sound Effects album made by Elektra's original president Jac Holzman who is another big figure in field recording. I was given THAT whole multi-disc library on CD right before we started Apollo 18 and there are dozens of textures from that set on that album.)
But the wildest part of the Tony Schwartz story I never heard until there was an NPR piece about him about ten years ago, and that was he was agoraphobic--which is to say he didn't leave the perimeter of his NYC postal code. (!?!) One of his earlier records I believe was called "New York 19" (which was kind of the predecessor of zip codes) and was field recordings made entirely within the area he restricted his movements to. I've search for this album casually for many years but never seen it in the wild. But it's fascinating to think someone who revealed so much about the real world, and the whole wide world for that matter, wouldn't travel beyond a series of blocks in New York.

My wife said Aphrodite and Hermes are gelphie coded bcus of their colors so thats what inspired me to draw Apollo(employed theatre kid) referencing Wicked. Also Aphrodite x Ares and Hermes and Ares
#hermes#apollo#aphrodite#ares#apollo x hermes#aphrodite x apollo#aphrodite x hermes#aphrodite x ares#ares x hermes#aphrollomes#greek mythology#I can see Ares and Hermes be both romantic and platonic#they can be both trust#its up to you to interpret their relationship#also yes Im referencing the myth where Ares was trapped in a jar#Hermes comforts him after saving his ass outta there#ik Artemis saved Ares too#I just forgor to draw her#wicked#skeptical art

So fun fact about me that you all may not know, but may suspect given my recent reblogs, but I was a Percy Jackson kid growing up. I found the book series in elementary school, fell in love with it and greek mythology in general. The reason I say this is because after having listened to the Epic the Musical (on repeat) I now have a personal headcannon that the Apollo cabin in PJO has it down bad for Epic the Musical and are also listening to it on repeat using the cabin stereo system.
Like it started out small with some of them finding it when the first saga was released and then it snowballed from there until the entire cabin was listening to it by the time the vengeance saga came around. And I can guarantee you that in my headcannon when the Ithaca Saga came out they used the Hermes cabin to get access to wifi so they could watch the livestream premiere. They all cried during it. The Hermes kids had no idea what was going on or why the entire Apollo cabin were having a fucking break down but they were rolling with it.
I also headcannon that since they started listening to it on repeat they have begun singing different songs from the different sagas during campfire night. Some of their offerings at dinner now go to Jorge even though he's not a god but Apollo allows it because he's also started listening to the musical because literally all his kids are obsessed with it and he's got to admit that it's a banger. The Apollo kids have now also started saying things like; "Odysseus would never," when they hear the tea coming from the Aphrodite cabin. They also say "guys that's not very open arms of you."
They've also unanimously created a code phrase that is used both on and off the battlefield and during capture the flag. The code phrase? 600 strike! Which triggers the Apollo cabin like sleeper agents to all close ranks and attack the attacker of who ever called out 600 strike. This has been used in capture the flag before to the utter confusion of both teams but mainly of Percy who was the one it was called on and could not understand why the entirety of the Apollo cabin was now coming at him like he had broken one of their instruments again.
Apollo absolutely, on more than one occasion, come down from olympus while his kids are listening to Epic during the "I can't help but wonder" song just to act out the scene where Odysseus goes "Son, I'm finally home" to have all of his kids there at the time tackle him to the ground. Chiron was concerned when this first happened wondering who pissed who off but after the tenth time that month he's over it and is just letting them do their thing. It's safer that way.
#pjo#epic#epic the musical#apollo#greek gods#apollo cabin#cabin 7#My godly parent is apollo#in case anyone was wondering#epic the vengeance saga#epic the ithaca saga#epic odysseus#epic musical#pjo headcanon#epic the wisdom saga#They also routinely sing#little wolf when training#they've started quoting and singing#the musical so much#that the other campers don't even#blink when it happens#it's become background noise#to them at this point#they do get a little concerned though#when they see some of the apollo campers#giving percy the side eye every now and again#they're worried they're gonna pick a fight#they can't win#Most of them are just glad to see the apollo cabin#moving on from their hyperfixation on Lin Manuel Miranda

Nico's Big Sisters
I have this headcanon that while Bianca is away, the cabins take turns looking after Nico and he gets to stay with them.
Nico, crying: Thaliaaa!!!
Thalia: Nico? What's wrong?
Nico: *incomprehensible babble*
Thalia: Okay, okay, calm down. Tell me what happened
Nico, pointing to some Hermes kids: Tho- Those boys stole Three.
Thalia: *looks over at the Hermes kids tossing around a dog stuffie with three heads*
Nico: I told them to give it back but they wont. And they kept making fun of it
Thalia, rolling up her sleeves: Just a sec
Later:
Thalia with dirt all over her and slightly bloodied fists: Here you go, Nico. *hands over Three*
Nico: YAAAAY! THANK YOU, THALIA!
---
Nico: Reyna...
Reyna: Yes, Nico?
Nico: I fell down the track and I scraped my knee and hands *shows his hands*
Reyna, sees his injuries: Aww, c'mon let's go get them treated.
Dakota: OW! FUCK! REYNA! ONE OF THE HUNTERS JUST SHOT ME ON THE SHOULDER WITH AN ARROW
Reyna: WALK IT OFF!
---
If Zoë lived:
Bianca: Zoë
Zoë: Bianca, hello.
Bianca: You remember my little brother, Nico.
Zoë: Oh, yes, of course. Nice to see you again, little one
Nico, standing next to Bianca: *shyly waves*
Bianca: Nico made something for you. *whispers to Nico* come on, you can give it to her.
Nico, slowly approaches her: *hands over a jar of paper stars*
Zoë: *takes jar of paper stars*
Nico: Thank you for looking after my sister
Zoë: Well, you're very welcome, Nico. This is a very beautiful gift.
---
Nico, entering the Aphrodite Cabin: Piper...
Piper: Hm? Oh, hey, Nico. What's up?
Nico, shyly whispers to her: Can you make me look pretty?
Piper: Why do you want me to make you look pretty?
Nico, fidgeting with his fingers: Will asked me out on a date
Piper and almost all of the Aphrodite Cabin: *gasp*
Piper: Alright girls, we got a code Apollo! Let's move! Move! Move! Let's get this baby ready for his first date!
---
Annabeth: Alright. C'mon, Nico. Time for bed
Nico: Aw, okay. *climbs into bed*
Annabeth, sitting beside him: What story do you want me to read to you today?
Nico: We haven't finished the one about the big cat, the mean old lady, and the box yet.
Annabeth: ...you mean The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe?
Nico: Mhm. We stopped when Edmund went to the mean old lady's castle.
Annabeth: Ah! Then The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe it is!
---
Nico: Rachel!
Rachel: Oh, hey, Nico. Did you need something?
Nico: No, not really. I was making something and Percy said that you might like it. *hands over a box*
Rachel: *takes box and opens it* What is it?
Nico: It's paint! The Demeter kids let me plant sometimes in their garden and I get the flowers and I made them into paint!
Rachel:
Nico: See? The blue one is from Morning Glory flowers, the red one is made from Roses, the yellow one is made out of Marigolds, the orange one is made from Poppies, the purple one is made from the Lilacs, and the green one I made from Leaves!
Rachel:
Nico: :D Do you like it?
Rachel: This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever given me ༼☯﹏☯༽
---
Mark, training Nico: Alright. Here's what's gonna happen. You want a candy bar?
Nico: *nods*
Mark: It's on that table over there. *points to table behind him* To get it, you need to get past me first.
Nico:
Mark: Now, I'm bigger than you. So you need to be smart and think of how-
Nico: *punches Mark in the groin, and pushes him to the side, then goes over to the candy bar*
Mark, on the floor, clutching his groin: Oh, good gods!
Nico, can't open the candy bar: *goes over to Clarisse and shows her the candy bar* Open, please
Clarisse:
Nico: (´。• ◡ •。`)
Later during Capture the Flag:
Clarisse: Alright, listen up! If anyone wants to mess with this kid, know that he is under my protection. You wanna mess with him, you go through me first!
Nico: *holding Clarisse's hand, eating a candy bar*

Narumitsu/AA fic rec list No.1
---- Multi-chapter ----
pressure (pushing down on me) ApprenticeofDoyle | @apprenticeofdoyle https://archiveofourown.org/works/28440966/chapters/69694179
miles edgeworth's terrible, no-good, very bad week ApprenticeofDoyle | @apprenticeofdoyle https://archiveofourown.org/works/29390913/chapters/72203136 (this one isn't completed but please listen to my advice: a fic does not need to be completed to be enjoyable and/or give you necessary feelings) This author writes so beautifully, go read both!!! The first one has such cute and emotional moments and there's a scene in particular I will cherish most dearly for all of eternity. The second one follows as the title says Miles's most terrible misfortunes (aka AAI), so enjoy his very well written struggles.
The Miraculous Disappearance Of Phoenix Wright JJsADragon | @4ragon https://archiveofourown.org/works/15341994 This is Phoenix-centric, narumitsu is background - it's so beautiful and it's full of Phoenix drama and... hear me out... Godot!!! But, being serious here. This one really struck me. I don't know, I don't quite have the words to explain. You need to experience it yourself. But I can say that it made me rethink my whole perception of Phoenix's character. Vacation All I Ever Wanted JJsADragon | @4ragon https://archiveofourown.org/works/25088599/chapters/60774496 Same author as previous one and what can I say? It's gorgeous go read it. Also side note I actually laughed out loud at very very frequent intervals.
Saturation (ongoing) TiedyedTrickster | @greentrickster https://archiveofourown.org/works/20272603/chapters/48054286 Already talked about this previously....: It's a Miles-POV fic, sweet & cute, emotional, with an amazing sense of humor. The character relationships are chef's kiss. Absolutely brilliant all around.
The Things We Agree to Believe are True actual_goblin | @metaphorical-goblin https://archiveofourown.org/works/42658245/chapters/107157108 I think this is the kind of thing you need to read without any explaination whatsoever. It's just... an adventure, I would call it, and very very beautiful, so just jump in. There is one thing I can say though. If you like character exploration, to a degree that is frankly out of this universe, GO.
Kindred timepatches | @monimolimnion https://archiveofourown.org/works/28852137/chapters/70772769 It's about Miles adopting Pess! And it makes him realize a few things. It's so so very heartwaming. Set during the 7y gap. I think whatever I say might spoil it so I'll just describe how it made me feel! Fuzzy. Warm. Sappy. Cozy like wrapped in a blanket in winter with a nice cup of cocoa in hand. ---- One-shots ----
pressed beneath the burden of proof harmony | @harmonization https://archiveofourown.org/works/57174151 So very very very well written - I love how the author describes thoughts and emotions... it felt like I was feeling them myself.
Trials, Texts, and Tribulations bluemoodblue | @blue-mood-blue https://archiveofourown.org/works/20590601 Just very very sweet and with such nice subtlety it made me scream internally-- I love subtle things.
A Boy at the Airport KrisseyCrystal (IceCreAMS) | @krisseycrystal https://archiveofourown.org/works/29741124 Kid Apollo + Wrightworth. cute too cute too extremely cute family feelings overload ---- my heart is flying away...
Code to My Heart SnowOnVenus | @legayllyblonde https://archiveofourown.org/works/57499360 Incredibly beautiful and the drawings made to accompany it are absolutely charming and so fitting to the story... I especially love how Edgeworth's character was explored here. This will forever be inprinted in my heart.
To be honest there are so many more so I will probably make more lists in the future, as I also need to reread things (I have terrible, terrible memory)... hence the '1' on the title.
#aa fic rec#ace attorney#narumitsu#phoenix wright#miles edgeworth#wrightworth#aa fic#I had this in my drafts for a long time because I wanted to add more but I figured I can just do a part 2 in the future

re: this whisper https://www.tumblr.com/aceattorneywhispers/786626330516160512/i-did-not-know-the-ace-attorney-fandom-was-so?source=share
I don't think anyone is anti found family per se. I just think that, lots of people (like me) get (rightfully) pissed off when the found family in this fandom is both
forced by the fans everywhere you go
nuclear in every iteration
i dont think Apollo is the "omg son literally big brother!!!" of the "narumitsu family." I think he's just. a guy that's there. many people get mad at that.
I have friends who ship narumayo. they get harassed because apparently two adults with a strong bond are "literally actually 100% siblings" and you're a pedophile for saying otherwise.
cykesquill fans get hunted like wolves because athena and Simon are too "uncle and niece coded" to have any other room for interpretation.
its not that I hate found family. its the overexposure, the people treat you like crap for not seeing it, and the fact that every time people do it, it has to be a basic western "mommy and daddy and son and daughter and cute doggy" rather than like, literally anything else, that pisses me off.
the familial relationship between Phoenix and trucy is far more interesting and beautiful to me than making Apollo the "silly mean older brother XD." can we talk about that, and like, Phoenix adopting and loving a hopeless little girl, who's being so strong for a hopeless man that's now her father? can we discuss how they have to be strong for each other in a shared time of mourning instead of saying "miles is LITERALLY the mom and phoenix is TOTALLY the dad! narumitsu family! these 3 billion people who are their co-workers and proteges, who are all over 20, are actually their infant cute teen kids!"
