Episode 15 of Iris Complex is now on Webtoon and I couldn't decide on just one crop to promote it. @salamispots is just too good.

Read it here

A young woman wakes up in a dead field surrounded by five buildings. Unable to remember who she is or how she got there, she searches her shoulder bag, discovering a college architecture textbook, a test sheet with the name Iris on it, and a ring of five keys.

Is the young woman's name really Iris, and will these keys lead her back to her memories, as well as her home?

Written by Josh Tierney and illustrated by Caitlin Soliman and Cassio Ribeiro, Iris Complex updates every Tuesday on Webtoon!

The supernatural mystery of Warm Blood continues

Carrying on from this post because I do actually think I was valid there for once, but also because I was thinking about Phoenix's poison line. You know, this one from Recipe for Turnabout:

Phoenix: (There are two things that I consider inexcusable. Poisoning, and betrayal! Only a coward would hurt people using either of these tactics.)

And I was thinking about it in conjunction with how he feels after BttT, and how it could have warped (or been warped to fit) his perception of events there.

Because, while it is Dahlia who sets the whole thing in motion by poisoning Diego, the only one who can be said to have "betrayed" Godot in any way is... Phoenix. It's not Mia who tells him who stabbed Misty, Iris refuses to cave even when it becomes clear that she was an accomplice, and Maya begs Phoenix to leave things alone the whole time she's on the witness stand. The one who actually pushes the revelation and finally brings the truth to light is Phoenix. As Mia and Godot both say, that final battle was all him.

And of course it's ridiculous. Of course it doesn't add up. Because there was no betrayal. Godot killed someone. It is objectively right that he be sentenced for it, and, if it wasn't for his own interjection, he wouldn't have been found out at all! But then I think about what Phoenix says at the end of the case -- how he talks about "his own hand sending Godot to prison" (not, notably, finding the truth, as Edgeworth might justify) and how he specifically questions whether "justice was served with that verdict" because he "wasn't able to save Mr Armando" -- and I wonder if he doesn't feel some sense of misguided responsibility and guilt for that. Like, yes, he may not have known, and, yes, he technically owed Godot nothing, but that was the man who risked his life to save Maya's. And that automatically means Phoenix owes him something close to his own life.

And Phoenix sent him to jail.

It's a self-imposed debt; it's a fictitious betrayal. But the guilt is real.

Originally, I hypothesised that Phoenix grew disillusioned with the courts, which led to him leaving without a fight.

Now I wonder if what he actually grew disillusioned with wasn't just himself.

maybe i'm thinking too much abt ace attorney or maybe its super obvious idk but i was thinking about dahlia and iris (i love doomed siblings)

and i was thinking about how dahlia's surname literally means "has thorns" because she appears innocent and beautiful and fragile like a flower but if you get too close she'll hurt you really badly

but iris has no surname because she grew up without knowing her parents and maybe that also is supposed to rappresent how she's different from her sister? because she too has a flower name but she doesn't have thorns

see because they both have big ol’ hair loops

Episode 4 of Iris Complex is now on Webtoon, with art by @invisiblesandwich!

[spaceratprodigy]

thinking so many thoughts abt iris fresh out of the vault so scared, confused, vulnerable, alone, grief about to hit in full force, and still malleable, just for poppy to be the first person to find her and she has iris wrapped around her finger for a while

[lonestardust]

*pretends that this was all established in the narrative from the beginning*

[clown-bear]

do I think capcom made Iris an intentionally complex character? no not really I think they managed to do that on accident
