happy birthday, little brother

I know I’m not the first person to say this but fandom’s seeming need to shove any character dynamic into some kind of familial role (siblings, father-son, mother-daughter etc) increasingly feels just as stifling and dismissive of platonic love as making every relationship romantic does.

I dunno man do you view all of your close friends as siblings cause I sure don’t. and I definitely don’t think of them as parents

sometimes u just gotta remind yourself that while ace attorney is about law and justice and stuff it is also about a bunch of young adults living in [CALIFORNIA]

happy new year

Kai monstrosity yet every action he takes is one he knows a fellow ninja would’ve.

“Cole would wait and see what happens”

“Jay would make a joke”

“Zane would-….maybe i shouldn’t do what Zane would do…”

“Nya would know where to attack”

“Lloyd would keep a level head, he was always the best at planning”

And every action he takes is in memory, in honour of the ones he loves as if he is already mourning them.

I’ve said this many times now, but Kai isn’t just Kai. He is everyone he loves, and when they are gone, he clings to their memory like a lost child in a crowd.

whenever i hear ppl talking abt their (normal) relationships it just sounds so... boring !! where's the obsession ?? the intense devotion and possession ??? the overwhelming love that consumes all of you ?? no mutual codependency ?? i would die in if i was in a normal relationship jeez

One of the really fun and interesting things about ace attorney is that actually none of the mcs are normal functioning human beings and they're all deeply flawed. I kid you not, I have spent at least a solid minute DESPISING nearly every main character.

From Edgeworth's disappearing/reappearing act, not to mention literally quoting his own SUICIDE NOTE in COURT in aa2:

And then for a lot of the aai games he actually acts above the law a lot because he's the best detective around and he values the truth more than anything, which while justifiable is a very extreme take,

To the absolute ass Nick was to Apollo during ajaa, which i don't have receipts for but you remember, and also not telling apollo and trucy they're siblings, which actually continues a trend where he tells caustic lies to people to avoid hurting them in the moment,

To that absolutely horrendous SHIT Apollo pulled during turnabout for tomorrow, which includes but is not limited to assisting terrorism (encouraging aura blackquill to continue the trial), asking his close friend and colleague athena be arrested for murder, and ACTUAL SISTER be held at GUNPOINT by a murderous terrorist, all because he couldn't cope with not having trust for like a day. If he had waited for literally a day, the trial would have continued AND the TWELVE random people and FUCKING TRUCY could have escaped the space station, but no, please polly, do egg on the ACTUALLY murderous and radicalized Blackquill sibling who spent 7 years hating an actual child SURE GREAT IDEA.

Even the side characters have absolute no concept of normal, with simon blackquill being a convicted death row inmate for most of dual destinies, Athena having enough trauma to kill a horse, trucy and maya with abandonment issues, pearly dealing with everything morgan and dahlia did, and Lana and ema's whole thing, not to mention the von karma fiasco.

Honestly the most normal person in the games is Klavier, who is a world famous pop star with an insane and violent serial poisoner as a brother.

I love these characters to death, nick and miles are my blorbos and I adore pretty much everybody, but damn if these games aren't great at making flawed characters. Ask my parents or friends, they'll tell you how angry ive gotten, lmao.

And I haven't even played SOJ or TGAA yet.

If this ever happened I imagine it'd be very funny.

Daily reminder that Ulala is very insecure about her femininity

[lucidfairies]

fighting with someone who supports stepcest is so silly to me because she keeps calling me hypocritical because she believes that I write things that I'm not attracted to or wouldn't participate in after asking her why she would write something she doesn't support, but I only write things I'm attracted to or would participate in <3 so if you're her anon that was stalking my page and asked if I would fuck someone 15 years my senior, the answer is in fact yes! much love, so glad I'm not into incest 🙏
