EDGEWORTH USING HIS CRAVAT TO COVER HIS INTUBATION SCAR HE GOT FROM SURGERIES NEEDED AFTER DL-6 AS A METAPHOR TO HIM TRYING TO COVER THAT PART OF HIS PAST UNDER THE VON KARMA NAME-

currently incredibly hyped to celebrate my first DL6/Traumatize Edgeworth season as new blood to the Ace Attorney fandom

because after all:

almost Christmas means it wasn’t Christmas

[queergodot]

Reverse DL-6 where the gun Miles threw aimed just a liiiitle differently and ended up shooting Von Karma dead. Because apparently nobody on the DL-6 case was at all competent they can’t figure out what caused his death so it just gets ruled a suicide. Miles is too loopy from oxygen deprivation to remember throwing the gun and due to his dad still being alive he never gets the trauma nightmares that make him remember. Everything is objectively better for everyone until Franziska von Karma, years later, re-opens the case, and because she’s actually competent, figures out it must’ve been one of the three people in the elevator who shot him. Cue Defense Attorney Miles Edgeworth defending his dad from a murder charge that, honestly, really looks quite plausible.

Might as well ask anyways, since I feel like people have different interpretations of their own timelines. Feel free to discuss it in the notes and reblog as well.

do you ever think about the fact that the entire phoenix wright: ace attorney trilogy happens because gregory edgeworth dies.

[attorneys-against-court-violence]

I like to think only stuffy lawyers pronounce the '-' in case file names.

Phoenix and Maya would just say "Dee-Ell-Six" while Edgeworth and Manfred would say "Dee-Ell-Dash-Six". You feel me on this?

TURN THOSE EVIL OLD MEN INTO POKEMON!!!

First is Manfred, here as Kiritma, the blinded Pokemon. It's a dragon-ghost type and a mythical. Myths say that when a horrible man died brutally, the guilt in his soul was unable to move on and became Kiritma; a Pokemon obsessed with enacting karma upon those who do wrong like it had when it was alive.

And then Damon, here as Loppalotus, the determined Pokemon. It's a water-electric type and, just like Kiritma, a mythical. Myths say that this Pokemon was created when a local detective jumped into a lake to find a body dumped in it. The detective could not swim, and everyone thought he drowned, but the next day, Loppalotus emerged from the lake, dragging the body the detective had been searching for out with it.

Ok but real talk: What the Fuck was Edgeworth doing in 1-3? No like seriously, what did he do? Like in 1-2 he’s updating autopsies and convincing the bellhop to not talk, in 2-4 he’s pulling Will Powers out of fucking nowhere cause he saw Shelly and Matt doing a transaction in the hallway. 3-5 he’s obviously doing stuff cause we are doing stuff, same goes for all the investigation games. But like what was he doing in 1-3?

Like with Franziska’s cases you see her at the scene talking to witnesses or gathering evidence directly. Godot shows up with evidence he didn’t even clear with the police. They clearly do stuff before a trial. Edgeworth does too, in literally every case but 1-3.

The first time Edgeworth meets his witnesses is when they are on the stand. I can vaguely believe that cause it might be the detective’s job to handle witness stuff, with Franziska just being controlling about it. But he doesn’t even look at like the one piece of evidence we know he had to have gotten before the trial (the photo of the steel samurai going to studio 1 from the security camera). Gumshoe clearly gets the evidence well before the trial, but Edgeworth first sees it during the trial, and is completely shocked at how bad of evidence it is. Gumshoe had it, did he just not look at it or ask about it?

As far as I can recall all he does is call witnesses, get upset when they don’t respect him, mock Phoenix for being an idiot whenever he says something wrong, throw up a couple very loose objections that get overridden immediately, and then at the end stall Dee Vasquez on the stand until Phoenix can convict her of murder. He doesn’t do any evidence gathering, leaving everything up to his witnesses, and basically throws the whole trial away by being woefully underprepared.

The only three reasons I can think of as to why this is:

1. He’s such a fanboy of Will Powers that he decides not to do his job and hopes that Phoenix steamrolls him in court to get a not guilty for his celebrity crush (unlikely, he hasn’t properly gone through his redemption arc, it’s clear that losing still effects him, and he has too high of a sense of Justice to let someone that is almost certainly [due to the testimonies and evidence] the killer go)

2. He is so backed up with other cases/other obligations outside of work that he has no time to actually work the case (unlikely, as there is no evidence to suggest that the prosecution’s office asks prosecutors to work more than one case at a time, and as far as any other reason, I mean just look at him. He’s got nothing else going on besides work)

3. He is so stuck in Guilt and Gay Pining due to his recent loss that he can not get any work done (listen, it’s the only thing that makes sense. What the fuck else would be going on to cause him to not even check the evidence before a trial?)

AA1 really be like

Locked room murder of opportunity after being caught in the acf of a crime pinning the blame on someone close to the victims

Locked room murder of the one person who could hurt their career pinning the blame on someone close to the victims

Locked room murder in quick response to violence a snap second decision pinning the blame on someone close to the victims

Locked room murder out of revenge for a seen destruction of the murders life pinning the blame on the man holding the unused gun

Locked room murder of a man who has just put the first stain on an otherwise perfect record the first hint of underhandednes that could leave an empire crumbling murder of a man who could find more murder of a man in response to a bullet wound to the shoulder of unthought through firing back murder of a man the only man who has ever been able to hurt you in any sort of way in revenge for the only loss pinning the blame on his son passed out next to him holding the literal smoking gun

[no dl-6 au]

this is the second case in the no dl-6 au, “turnabout skies” :D

since turnabout sisters never happens in this au (along with a bunch of other cases), that means i get to write out my own wacky murder scenarios!

including phoenix getting accused of murder literally an hour after arriving back home in the states. because that’s something that would happen in ace attorney.
