#i'm only partway through dual destinies

[pennamepersona]

thinking about how klavier + kristoph vs. apollo + trucy is a really interesting contrast of siblings and how well they fit into the themes of family (blood vs. chosen and how there's sometimes overlap; putting your trust in an older relative's advice and having it backfire/being treated as a pawn; finding commonality in a shared family trait/tradition; etc.) establish in the original trilogy would've been a pretty cool thread to follow through the latter games, esp since it'd keep that broader theme of family as a neat and emotionally resonant common ground with the og trilogy but fuck me i guess

Oh a ship thing! Gimme the WrightWorth spiel. I'm only partway through the second game, but I wanna hear about them anyway. ~ 💚

Yess!! Oh they’re everything all at once 😭😭 the childhood friends to rivals to lovers pipeline tbh. I love how they are narrative parallels, with the way Phoenix initially saves Edgeworth from his trauma and helps him go on a better path, but Phoenix later on finds himself in the same predicament where he’s been disbarred and has lost everything. We don’t see it much through the timeskip, but I think they hint to Edgeworth helping Phoenix throughout it as well as how we see their relationship improve in Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice. I also think it’s heavily iconic of Phoenix’s whole reason of going to law school in the first place was because of Edgeworth lol, like that’s complete and utter devotion right there. And also red and blue opposites are so good! People have probably explained them better than me but yeah they’re neat 😭😭
