#ema haibara...?

[phreaticlayer]

you know how sometimes you have a word on the tip of your tongue and its RIGHT THERE but you cannot remember it for love nor money and all it does is sit there and give you a migraine. ive been feeling that way about an ace attorney au/xover (?) case for months now. like im attached to DA ran. detective shinichi. forensic specialist haibara. sonoko who brings the case. cop heiji. prosecution hakuba? just coz lowkey rich kid edgeworth vibes... guys who keep lying on the stand are so thick on the ground you cant see it. more incompetent cops than you can shake a stick at. i think kaito & akako would make really fun innocent(in this case at least)-but-lies for their own reasons defendants/witnesses.

but i got nothing when it comes to the case :| definitely a murder. superficially comedic but driven by unhinged, kinda fucked up motivation at heart, within a convoluted narrative for preference. overtones should be funny, because i love clowning and cant keep a serious/heavy tone for shit. but like.... it's so open ended to me i dont even know where to start. plus finished narratives are so far outside my competencies they've never even seen one another so im so lost at sea they'll never find my corpse

I’ve been possessed. If anyone wants to know where Edgeworth is, he’s been watching kamen yaiba with the detective boys for 4 hours

The cartoon detective mentioned in your fic "Those Nights" was Conan, wasn't it?

OH MY GOD tbh I didn’t think far but actually maybe it was an unconscious decision on my part since as a kid that’s what I did actually. So it was semi inspired??

For the name + question thing: N A O - (A) L I C E + M Y S T (E) R (I C A)

spell your name in my ask, fandom edition!

N, your favourite crackship:

Nakamori Aoko/Mouri Ran, mostly because I like to poetically name the ship "A blue orchid". I do think they should meet and they'd definitely get a long, though.

A, fandom you blog about the most:

Going based on tumblr, probably Touhou Project? It's the fandom that saw the most activity out of me.

O, tell us about your favourite AU for one of your ship:

In the same Touhou Modern AU, I like the idea of Yoshika and Kasen running a Dim Sum shop together, but like with every other alternate universe, I never dedicated time to actually sit down and flesh it out further...

--

A, fandom you blog about the most:

I think second most might be Ace Attorney (though I have never finished Spirit of Justice and ever started the Dai Gyakuten Saiban series). I used to write a decent amount of meta thoughts on it and had a short list of what I imagined an Ace Attorney Investigations III would look like, it's still floating around somewhere on Tumblr under my old blog...

L, a quote from one of your fandoms which you absolutely adore:

Haibara: Oh, since when did I become your assistant?

Conan: Not, assistant, partner.

&

Haibara: Moreover, I also believe in him as my partner.

This is a bit of a cheat because I think it works specifically if you know they're from back to back movies (the former from Movie 11 and the latter from Movie 12). They're a very lovely pair of moments that I think captures a lot of the trust and faith Conan and Ai have in each other.

I know the term they specifically use is 'aibou' but I have heard it's slowly becoming a term to have a romantic sense and I, personally do like the term partner as a romantic term, too...

I, a book you can read over and over:

A Tour of Calculus by David Berlinkski. I like reading about the history of mathematics. I don't know if I can fully read it right now and follow all of the logic since it's been a long time since I've read anything about mathematics in full detail, but I would like to give it a go in the neat future.

Also, I love that one of the chapters is just title "Yo."

C, which fandom do you know the most about?

Touhou Project just because of sheer scale and how long it's been running. I would argue, even though I only focus on like a small faction of Touhou, it's still a lot.

It's a very dense series and even if you only focus a small section you end up learning a lot.

E, a character you think you’re the most like?

Ema Skye from Ace Attorney. I can't help but feel a lot for her about her frustrations in her career path and wanting to repay my debts to others but not able to due to circumstances out side of my control.

M, your favourite writer/s

I had to think about this because I tend to only read a small fraction of a writer's works and it's rare for me to read all of their works.

Off the top of my head: blackidyll, huppaduppa, mimicteruyo, and rabbiteclair

For a more traditional published author, Rebecca Traister has been lingering in the back of my mind lately.

Y, which of your favourite shows has the worst writing?:

Detective Conan, but I think is in part to Aoyama wanting to push for like 200 volumes and so there's a lot of easy points.

One moment that I find particularly off-putting is Haibara's restrained reaction to Kid tazing Conan. It just felt off and it's one of those moments that I really felt my suspension of disbelief breaking.

The other moment is during the London Arc where Ran shouts at Shinichi to "deduce her heart". That moment made me incredibly uncomfortable.

S, which ship do you have an infinite amount of songs for?

Honestly, none. I have like one romantic song that I will shamelessly slap onto all of my OTPs instead.

It's Nodey's Đôi Khi ❤️

(Yes, the heart emoji is very important) There's some details of the song that I know won't work for every OTP, but I just adore the refrain too much:

Đôi khi em trông thấy anh

Đôi khi lại không

Đôi tay ta ôm lấy nhau

Không đi về đâu

Sometimes I see you,

Sometimes I don't

Our hands embracing

Into nowhere.

The above is the official translation (like, what you'll see when you turn on English Subtitles) but the way I've always understood the song is:

Sometimes, I see you, sometimes I don't. (With) our hands entwined (we're) going nowhere.

Functionally, they're the same, but my read of it is a little bit more personal? And I always thought it suited a bit more once you know the featured artist, Suboi, is married to Nodey.

I digress.

T, favourite female characters?

At the moment, Makomo.

I don't know why but when I'm alone I find myself muttering "Everyone shut the fuck up, right now, Makomo's here" every time I saw her and it's kind of evolved a bit where my friends will send me art with the caption: "Everyone be quiet!!! She's here!!!" and I just get really happy? I love her dearly.

E, a character you think you’re the most like?

Haibara Ai, I just love her arc and her coming to terms with the past and how it doesn't define her who she is today. She's rebuilding her life and finding joy in the people who love her.

R, best book to film adaptation, in your opinion?

This is cringe and a failure on me since I don't have usually pick up a lot of books and movie adaptations together so my only answer is, sadly, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

I, a book you can read over and over

I'm not entirely sure if I should count it since I'm really only reading it for one specific chapter but, One-Winged Butterfly, specifically the chapter "For Those Who Do Not Smile."

There's a lot of fun details that just bring a smile to my face.

C, which fandom do you know the most about?

Free! Probably in part there's a lot of magazine articles and interviews that have been translated over the years so I end up picking up a lot of the thought process behind the making of the series.

Three Fandoms:  

Ace Attorney

Touhou Project

Detective Conan/Magic Kaito (DCMK)

The First Character You Loved:

Ayasato Chihiro/Mia Fey

Shameimaru Aya

Miyano Shiho/Haibara Ai

The Character You Never Expected To Love So Much:

Karuma Mei/Franziska Von Karma 

Mononobe no Futo

Kuroba Kaito/Kaito KID

The Character You Relate To The Most: -

Houzuki Akane/Ema Sky -- Taking an eternity to get to where I want to be...

Youmu, I think I’m sort of the type of person to really underestimate my potential

Kuroba Kaito - I always look like I know what I’m talking about or what I’m doing but in the back of my head I’m screaming and panicking if/when I make missteps.

The Character You’d Slap:

Manfred Von Karma, tbh.

Hakurei Reimu, for killing the best character :( Them’s the facts.

Kudou Shinichi, just tell her for fuck’s sake. I swear to god she’s going to be the last one to know in the entire damn series and I just want: Shiho and Shinichi to remain good friends and Kaito and Shinichi to know of their fathers’ rivalries and also develop a friendship. I will tolerate accept ShinRan if I get these conditions.

Three Favorite Characters (in order of preference):

Ayasato Chihiro/Maya Fey, Karuma Mei/Franziska Von Karma, Odoroki Houske/Apollo Justice

Mononobe no Futo, Konpaku Youmu, Soga no Toziko

Miyano Shiho/Haibara Ai, Kuroba Kaito, Kudou Yukiko

A Character You Liked At First, But Don’t Anymore: (edit: “you liked at first but don’t like them as much anymore”)

Shigaraki Tateyuki, I just kind of wished he got to meet That Man. I felt the hug request bit also got old really fast.

Izayoi Sakuya. I can’t quite explain why I became detached from the EoSD cast in general, but I don’t really obsess over it as the rest of the fanbase.

Mouri Ran; the London Arc was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me, sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A Character You Didn’t Like At First But Do Now:

Mitsurugi Reiji/Miles Edgeworth - I have 0 clue why it took me as long as it did for me to warm up to him but that’s what happened. I oddly enough warmed up to Franziska much sooner, probably because of how her arc is executed in JFA was much quicker. This is just my impression though.

Kind of random, but, Kumoi Ichirin. I need to draw her more, but I’m lazy at drawing Uzan...ahaha...

Kudou Shinichi; although it’s more accurate to say I tolerate him now. (100% is because of the blessing that is Miyano Shiho)

Three OTPs:

Wrightworth/Narumitsu, LanMia/TomoChi(?), the last slot goes to either Feyradey(Maya/Kay) or Kay/Skye(aka ‘The Yatagaratsu takes to the Skye’)

FutoToji, MikoFuto, FutoMyon because...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shinichi/Shiho (Conan/Ai), Kaito/Shinichi, Yuusaku/Yukiko (They’re married I know, but I honestly think their relationship parallels Shinichi and Shiho’s relationship just as I think Shinichi and Ran’s relationship parallels Kogoro and Eri)
