Strengths has way too many consonants for just one vowel, poor little e is doing so much work there

the opening lines of the shadow of the erdtree trailer remind me a LOT of a certain quote from another game:
and with this in mind, i really hope that the direction they go with miquella is less like the manipulative griffith-esque archetype some people are theorizing, and more like N’s characterization in pokemon black and white: someone very intelligent and powerful but naïve, whose honest attempts at creating a better world might bring about more destruction in the end.

Redrawing some of my favourite "aromantic moments" from the games for Ace Attorney Aspec Week! (shush, pretend I'm not slightly late) @aspec-ace-attorney
There are definitely more than just these, these were the ones I could remember off the top of my head
As someone who comes from a marriage-heavy culture, seeing Edgeworth -- this respected, established, renowned character both in and out of universe -- firmly assert that it's something he doesn't want for himself is SO VALIDATING YOU HAVE NO IDEA
Dr Crab's line is just aro. I don't think there's any allo explanation for this one.
There are actually a fair few moments throughout the games where Phoenix internally comments on Maya's response to romance, but this one always stood out to me because it's the biggest mood of all time. No, I don't want romance. Yes, I want food. I understand Maya deeply in this moment.
Listen I know Asinine Attorney isn't technically canon but Apollo turning down Klavier was too iconic to miss. You're telling me a hot, sweet, rich rock star asks you out to dinner and you say NO??? ...Power move, Herr Forehead. I can respect it.
"Intellectually attracted" is hilarious because Lana doesn't even deny it. Ema is about 16 at this point and definitely knows what romance is. So considering that she somehow misses one of the most lesbian lines in the whole series, and her sister doesn't bother to correct her, I'm going with the "Ema is aro" explanation for it.

WELCOME TO PHIO'S EXTREMELY SELF INDULGENT AU HOUR!!!
"Oh, FINALLY, another visitor! It's so quiet in here, it's unnerving..."
—
This AU was meant to be posted on halloween but eh.... Happy Thanksgiving? HAHAHHA
still dont have a name for it, but basically, back in october i was suddenly hit with the need to have a halloween au, so now we have ghost-ified prismo and vampire/witch-ified scarab :D ( although didnt finish the scarab reference spread in time because uh, school and i lost motivation unfortunately )
au synopsis and rambling below the cut!!
the premise of this au is simple : scarab is a real estate agent whos known for his manners ( never barges in, always waits to be invited! though it is a little weird how he keeps asking to be let inside even if they already agreed that he was going to come over... ) and efficiency at his job - that is, convincing people to buy high-end housing for a good price. although his social skills need some... work, his ability to persuade people isnt something to be laughed at.
unfortunately for him, persuading the higher-ups is a completely different story - which he learned the hard way after flunking something big for the company. they dont choose to fire him, no. instead, they put him through a trial, assigning him to sell their most unprofitable property : the mansion in a small town locally known for being haunted by an "evil spirit". if scarab manages to sell it (for good profit) within six months, he is excused and is able to go on with his job. if not... well, best not to think about it, yes? after all, he'll succeed with ease - all he has to do is dispel any worries about some fake "ghost" that only exists as a result of filthy rumors. maybe clean up the place. not too hard, right?
meanwhile, stuck inside said mansion is an extremely bored prismo. hes been hangin around this place for like... how many years now? forty? a hundred? meh, all the same, lately the place has been quieter than usual. i mean- of course people dont just walk into a creepy mansion every day, but there would usually be at least a few bold kids or vloggers coming in now and then for him to entertain but even then they wouldn't stay long ( for obvious reasons ). and now, just some unbound spirits or dumb animals would pass by and thats about it. a guy can only entertain himself for so long, yknow?
that is, until today. when some posh-looking business man entered the premises and started snooping around ( whats the deal with that, by the way?? ). must be prismo's lucky day!! this is the perfect chance to pull out all the stops and play the FUNNIEST prank ever! hah!
... oh. looks like things've gotten a little out of hand.

WOOT WOOT WOOTTTTTTTTTTT!!! im so so happy to finish this because ohhhhh my god this has taken ages for no reason other than the fact that ive been really dragging myself to make presentable art JSNDJSJXNSJX.... i realize that i have never worked in real estate ( or at all ) which means i have probably fucked something up but uhh um ill deal with the backlash later :"D im also realizing how many odd unanswered bits and bobs this au is going to have in the future, which... i am ignoring for the most part for now, but there are SOME things that i DO have figured out like ghost lore... but thats for another time, for now i leave you with this >:)
