#ghost trick justice minister

[fankawashitpost]

A minor character I feel gets a bad rap is Emma from Ghost Trick. Like, I get it, she's haughty and pretentious and those are traits that are easy to hate, but her behaviour around the Justice Minister and Amelie is what gets her flack from players. People forget that no, her novel writing is not why she took Amelie and left. It's because she knows about SPOILERS the manipulator controlling her husband, and thus knows the Justice Minister is about to sentence an innocent man to death. That's a pretty rational thing to get the hump with your partner for. You can tell from their first conversation that JM has no issue with her novels ("You can write your novel just as well from home!") and it's simply Amelie's childish perspective that it's only because of that.

Obviously shouting at Amelie is not good, but again, Emma is under massive pressure because *she knows what her husband is about to do.* I find it unfair to let this moment of weakness define her entire parenthood, when she's otherwise shown to be very calm and casual about Amelie's misbehaving (not going to piano lessons, etc.) But these are just thoughts.

GHOST TRICK CATS

Happy Ghost Swap Week! I combined a couple @fyeahghosttrick prompts for this one:

@ocekhaz - The Ghost Trick cast but they all turned into cats, that's it, that's the prompt

@katecattus - Someone from the human main cast as animals

and an anonymous prompt for Human!Sissel

Hope you don't mind that I went overboard, because I had a ton of fun drawing all of these! Which one is your favorite?

you ever think about how sissel spends three chapters of the game back to back trying to save two deeply depressed guys with zero self-esteem? how he sees right through jowd's insincere self-pitying apologies; and how he's so promptly over the justice minister's disguised negative self-talk, eventually trying to set him on a better path by telling him to not go so hard on himself?

with hindsight, i'm surprised sissel never comments on it all feeling... familiar.

I'm curious, are there any common or otherwise headcanons about the names of characters we don't actually have the real names of? Like for example Pigeon-Head or the Rockstar Jailbird

I swore myself I'd be the truest mf ever, but I can't be. All because the title is deserved by this user:

Minovember week 1, first meeting.

Teehee ghost trick hyperfix go brrr!!!

(Wierd fanfic i wrote abt Emma and the prime minister meeting ☠️)

The short and messy law student whom’s fate was to be the justice prime minister was running down the street his suitcase in hand, it was the begining of fall and the ground was slippery so he fell..before he could fully hit the ground however a pair of arms catched him. A student who was studying to become a writer had caught the man out of sympathy..on that day, both of their fates were changed and a new one would be created.

[magicalgirlmascot]

The Justice Minister is so, so anxious. (For understandable reasons but still.) The first time I saw him relaxed and smiling in his portrait, I was like, you look twenty years younger now??? You look like you're in your thirties / early forties???

It’s the stress lines and his frown.

HE DOES honestly I love his smiling portrait so much he is everything to me. He's just an incredibly stressed and anxious man who wants to do his job in peace and loves his wife and daughter more than his own life WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STAN

I love this video game about how much your pets love you

[tulpafcker]

ghost trick spoilerz (in the tags too)

there were two entries on tvtropes- both clearly written by the same guy- absolutely shitting all over yomiel and saying that it didnt make sense that the game tried to make you feel sympathy for him because He Is Inexcusable. and one of those entries was on the headscratchers page (the one page people can argue on) and nothing brought me more joy than seeing every mother fucker gang up on and murder this guy from every direction at once

anyway i love u yomiel i too got my life stolen from me and now desire revenge. they dont understand u like i do. their soft hands have never known strife . but we are built different

Ghost Trick character spoilers scroll along if you haven’t finished the game

One of the realest things Ghost Trick did was introduce this lady who at first seems like a stereotypical bitch took the kids/nagging wife/divorced wine mom and then reveal that actually she’s protesting her husband, the justice minister, reinstating the death penalty for one guy who is in jail for extremely tenuous reasons, implies the steamy romance novel she is writing about a heroine that elopes with the prime minister is at least semi-autobiographical, and is very based for doing so

GHOST SWAP - closing ceremonies! 1/2

I'll admit, I was a little worried about the format change. Maybe people wouldn't like it. Maybe it'd fizzle out. Maybe, maybe, maybe... ...but no! Would you look at THAT! With 98 (?!???) participations, this edition blew away the previous biggest ever, last year's, which capped at 67. We even have to split this post in two because there were just too many links for a tumblr post to handle. What can I even say. Thank you, thank you all, I hope you had a great time and that we'll still be around next year for another round. Nothing like it, baby!

ETA 101??? Not even 98. 101. we broke 100. Imagine. Red roses for everyone!

CONTINUES IN PART TWO!

[the-grey-hunt]

i have covid and must sit in my room all day. it's ghost trick posting hours and i am thinking about a gt major arcana set

These are purely based on my vibes from experience and the little pamphlet that came with my Rider-Waite-Smith deck, so feel free to argue with me, i could really use a conversation to get invested in rn

0 - THE FOOL. Obviously this one is going to be Sissel. The Fool represents setting out on a journey that's gonna take you through the rest of the cards, and it's the zero point, the beginning of the deck (sometimes the end, which is how my pamphlet organizes it). I'd draw him in the junkyard, maybe as the ghost flame.

I - THE MAGICIAN. This one gave me the most trouble. I eventually settled on Pigeon Man, partly because I couldn't figure out a 'scene' i liked for this more than a person. He fits the bill of a man hiding some secrets, but one who's a sort of 'magus' (pamphlet's word) or knowledgeable figure. No idea how i'd draw it.

II - THE HIGH PRIESTESS. I picked the park guardian/Dabira. HEAR ME OUT. The description I have says "tenacity", or if reversed, "passion" and "surface knowledge" (hate to say it but Dabira does not know the lore). Normally this would be a woman, but I ran out of female characters before assigning this one. This drawing would highlight the stars in his eyes.

III - THE EMPRESS & IV - THE EMPEROR. Alma and Jowd, respectively. The Empress is "the unknown, doubt" or reversed, "truth, the unraveling...of matters". More her role in the story than her actual personality, but the game devs didn't give her one, so. The emperor represents "conviction" (lol) and "protection", but also reversed can mean "confusion", "obstruction".

I'd draw Alma in a fake foil-card, where it looks like it's being tilted so some of her is visible through the "foil" but the "reflective" parts are her blacked-out flashback silhouette. Jowd would be at the foot of a ruined throne.

V - THE HIEROPHANT. This one's Kamila. "Captivity" is one of the potential meanings, but reversed it can also be "weakness", which I don't mean as an insult, but she's a little girl who gets physically overpowered. It would be Kamila on a thronelike seat in the red trunk, the hierophant's tools (maybe pieces from the contraption) on the floor before her.

VI - THE LOVERS. Yomiel and FianSissel. "Love" and "trials overcome", but reversed "failure" or "foolish designs". I think they as a pair represent the potential meanings pretty well; there's definitely love, but their love leads them to foolish plans down doomed paths. Drawn as each other's reverse, like a face card in a deck of playing cards.

VII - THE CHARIOT. "Triumph", but reversed, "defeat". I'd draw this as squished Jeego rolling away with the wrecking ball—both a triumph and a defeat!

VIII - STRENGTH. Lynne! "energy" and "action" both describe her. The reversed meanings don't really fit, so I'm ignoring them lol. I'd draw her in her determined pose, maybe from in the Yonoa with the pocket watch.

IX - THE HERMIT. Ray! "Prudence" (the other meanings I'm given don't fit as well), but reversed, "concealment", "disguise". I'm drawing that boy wigglin'.

X - WHEEL OF FORTUNE. "Destiny", "luck". No character fits this as well as the clock from the 'rewind time' cutscene.

XI -JUSTICE. Literally just gonna be the Justice Minister, in one of his slumped-on-the-desk poses. "Executive", but reversed, "law in all departments", "excessive severity".

XII - THE HANGED MAN. This one is Cabanela, and you know he's going in the hanged man pose. "Trials", "intuition" "discernment"— reversed, "selfishness", so the regular and reversed readings are the truth v. how he's percieved.

XIII - DEATH: I think this should be a drawing of a detective's pistol. There's the possibility of getting more metaphorical with this card, but here, I don't think you need to.

XIV - TEMPERANCE. I put Rindge for this one because i wanted to include all the people who get their lives saved by Sissel, and I do think it fits. "accomodation" (of lynne); reversed, "competing interests" (his assignment v. helping lynne). I'd draw him seated at the table in the restaurant.

XV - THE DEVIL. This isn't as much a person (I mean, it's Sith), but I want this card to show as its centerpiece the little grabby thing that takes Yomiel's Temsik fragment out. Both Yomiel and Sith would be visible, to either side, but the meaning of "violence" or, reversed, "fatality", "pettiness", seems best suited by this specific scene.

XVI - THE TOWER. It's already been done perfectly and is tbh the reason I'm making this post

XVII - THE STAR. What else? The Temsik meteorite. Carries a meaning of "loss", but alternately (not reversed, but alternately) "hope", "bright prospects for the future". Two very different scenes in that park...I'd draw it in the crater, where it could be showing either future.

XVIII - THE MOON. Beauty and Dandy for this one, idk how i'd draw them. "Hidden enemies", "danger", "deception", "error".

XIX - THE SUN. Missile! Means "material happiness", "contentment", even when reversed. It's what he is and what he brings to people around him! I'm giving that boy a halo effect.

XX - THE LAST JUDGEMENT. A scene of "the last desperate struggle" (to borrow the soundtrack title) in Temsik Park, the last moment of gameplay in the game. Could be either the fountain with the meteor coming down, or missile in the bullet right before it's swapped. could be a lot of moments!

XXI - THE WORLD. I would do a cool thing with the phone lines and traveling through them for this one. luckily no one can make me draw it, so you're just gonna have to picture the coolness yourself
