based on perry being possessive: do u think he'd be excited if doof was possessive over HIM?

Perry knows that he is. He IS happy about it. There's some proof of this;

1. In Nerds of a Feather, their b-plot centres around a TV show Heinz made up he named "Doof n Pus." Executive Jeff McGarland suggests giving the platypus a girlfriend. Heinz blew his TOP. ("Oh you suddenly know my characters more than me?!")

When the camera pans back to Perry, Perry's glaring at Jeff, smirking.

2. In Come Home Perry, Heinz found out that he's been demoted to Minor Threat, (already very upsetting) and that Perry's been relocated to the Quad State Area to fight the Regurgitator. I'm pretty sure Heinz then confronts the Regurgitator about Perry being HIS nemesis, but he chickens out of scolding the man to his face. He DOES put an escape button in Perry's trap though.

This episode establishes Perry's trust in Heinz.

3. Ok this is vague. But there's a book out there written from Heinz's perspective with a title I can't remember (paging @pnfc 's merch knowledge with this) where a feature includes doing a little quiz to find out which OWCA agent you're most compatible with. (Book is absolutely chock full of Perryshmirtz).

In that book, the highest villaney score lands you on Perry as the most compatible nemesis. But Heinz basically says that "But he's mine, so you can have Agent Chicken instead"

4. Heinz was also jealous when Perry started working together with Lila Loliberry in "Sidetracked". When they both confront Heinz in the dining car, Lila puts her arm around Perry, which he glares at and shoves away. Heinz had cackled, calling out how much Perry must hate this, considering his Lone Wolf tendencies. Perry very pointedly doesnt deny him.

In the Niagara Falls scene, Perry infamously puts his hand on Heinz's arm before he leaves, and they share a secret smile.

Heinz appears less jealous than Perry only because Perry's arguably the more aggressively possessive one. Perry's not the cheating sort either. Heinz sorta is. But he IS possessive. Perry DOES know Heinz is obsessed with him. They are both aware of each other's unhealthy codependency, the staple of every sweet romance.

Let's talk about how Edgeworth addresses Maya, because I think it's super interesting!

"Ms. Maya Fey" when introducing her to the court. He's a professional, after all.

"Maya Fey" on a separate occasion.

Does he ever call her "Ms. Fey"?

No. He does address Mia as "Ms. Fey!"

As a matter of fact, Edgeworth uses "Ms. Fey" to only address Mia. He never addresses Maya as "Ms. Fey".

What about after this trial?

He just calls her Maya!

And to her face? Still "Maya".

And then in 3-5, still "Maya Fey"/"Maya".

Besides reserving "Ms. Fey" for just Mia, I think there's a really interesting reason he calls her "Maya" so informally considering his formal tendencies.

Yes, it involves the Japanese version of the game.

"Mayoi-kun...."

"A. Mitsurugi kenji." / "Oh. Prosecutor Mitsurugi."

In Japanese, Edgeworth calls her "Mayoi-kun" after 1-2, where he addresses her as "Ayasato Mayoi" during her trial. If you have a basic understanding of Japanese honorifics, you might be familiar that "-kun" is usually reserved for men and boys. Maya (and Mia) call Phoenix "Naruhodo-kun", as an example. They both use the honorific to imply that Phoenix is a subordinate (which is a touch scandalous coming from Maya, considering she's both younger than him and not even a practicing attorney, but Phoenix never corrects her.) It can also be used for male classmates in school.

There is a reason, however, that women are sometimes addressed as "-kun", and that's in the workplace! It's common for male coworkers to call their female subordinates "-kun", especially if they are a more familiar coworker.

(Edit, slight correction/addition: addressing a female coworker as "-kun" is more common and even seen as more polite than "-san" for a subordinate in settings like parliament and courts!)

As for Edgeworth, he certainly caught that Phoenix addresses Maya as "Mayoi-chan", but it's probably too familiar for him, so he wants to use a more respectful honorific for her, and something more familiar than "-san", which is similar to "Mr."/"Ms." So, he calls her "Mayoi-kun"! (He also calls Kay Faraday "Mikumo-kun", for similar reasons.)

So I can see why the localizers would scratch their heads as to how they would localize "Mayoi-kun". The nuances of using that honorific can't be translated easily, so between calling Maya "Ms. Fey" (and probably also agreeing that ought to be reserved for Mia) and just "Maya", they ultimately decided to just stick with her first name.

Please elaborate on your twst Pokémon headcannons I’m very interested

I had planned on drawing everyone for this (I made a LIST!) but it. hasn't been going well. 💀 soooo here's what I have so far!

Riddle - Roserade (I was going with 'no legendaries', otherwise I would've given him a Shaymin) (and I don't think Togedemaru is actually a hedgehog or I would've given him one of those too) (...they kind of do fit though. hmm.)

Trey - Alcremie (clover/mint cream + strawberry/ruby cream)

Cater - DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD!

Ace - Impidimp (I feel like there's probably a better one for him, but I can't think of it)

Deuce - Scraggy (meanwhile I KNOW deep in my heart that this is true)

Leona - Pyroar (but like. a nasty Pyroar. just a grizzly old Pyroar with the shittiest attitude imaginable. they pretend to hate each other but secretly they are a bonded pair, do not separate)

Still working on ideas I put on my list a year ago.

I imagine arcanine was Hoffman's original partner pokemon in the police force that had to watch his heart turn cold, but still remained ever-loyal.

(Maybe Team Jigsaw test people, but in less deadly ways, lmao?)

I also always love giving everyone tiny baby pokemon to care for. Perez has a plusle.

call me crazy but there is a difference between treating your adult players like they are new to the world and treating your adult players like they have the memory of a goldfish and the vocabulary of a 9 year old

“And now you want a rematch?”

“Well, obviously. I’m not losing to a guy with a mullet.”

Dragon Age 2, with it's production time of only 14-16 months, is infinitely superior to DATV which had a production time of 10 years.

I've been reading some of the asks and had a quick thought. Sorry if you've answered before! I know there aren't any humans left in the Echo World but are there turned supernaturals who were once human left there?

Ohhh...does this inch into spoilery territory...? Hmm...

Yes, there are. But they are rare and SUPER old! :D

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

I love how with every behind the scenes clip and interview that comes out, it is increasingly clear that Jim and Lee showed up to set every day and made a series of incredibly unhinged decisions and everyone else just rolled with it
