absolutely feral at how dunmeshi depicts 'people skills'. like we repeatedly see chilchuck being pretty effective at analyzing people and grasping underlying tensions/motives/ect . it would make him a really good party leader which is really driven home by his union rep thing. chilchuck understands how people work. AND YET he's so unaware of himself beyond trying to be abrasive and protect his autonomy, often through that same harshness. and then seeing his moments of honesty very very incrementally go from being means to an end to still needing a good reason to talk about himself but being more specific or genuine about what he's sharing (getting laios to turn back vs. learning more about senshi).
and then marcille is just OPEN regardless of intent, she misses falin so much and complains and expresses all her emotions in a way that the rest of the gang doesn't necessarily do and in turn she's so much more emotionally intelligent to the point that she can pretty accurately understand chilchuck's wife from a brief summary of events and knowing chilchuck as well as she does.
just. really shows how nuanced social stuff is and how many ways there are to be 'good with people'. dunmeshi my heart's beloved.

on my second watch of the new hbomberguy video (I was not totally sober when I watched it last night) and I just remembered where I know James Somerton from. A few months ago I ended a friendship because she kept talking about how excited she was to play the hp game, and at first she genuinely didn't know how bad r*wling was, but even after I explained and sent tons of resources so she could see for herself, she still eventually said something along the lines of "oh well, I still don't think it's bad enough to stop me from buying the game". Then she sent me James Somerton's video about why he was still going to buy and play the game and said "His thoughts are basically mine". I had never watched his videos, but I was immediately suspicious of him for being able to lay out the clear transphobia and antisemitism but still justify purchasing the game. And now, I guess we know that his thoughts weren't even his. And no wonder he was fine still giving r*wling money, he's also fine misgendering trans people if it means he can be more misogynistic
EDIT: so i decided to fact-check myself since it's been several months since that conversation, but he does say he "probably" won't spend more money on the franchise even though he totally understands and supports people who want to.
And in a turn of events shocking no one, aside from that conclusion that he thinks it's fine to still support hp, the vast majority of that same video was also plagiarized:
EDIT 2: I've seen some people in the notes saying he even plagiarized the transphobia, so I'm going to clarify this. Most of the video was about all of the transphobic, antisemitic, or otherwise awful shit r*wling has done. That is the content that Somerton seems to have plagiarized from Katelyn Burns.
The only part of the video that doesn't appear to have been stolen is the conclusion, which is where he said it's understandable and fine for people to still financially support the franchise. So he did not plagiarize the transphobia, he plagiarized the proof of transphobia and then added in his opinion that it's still cool to give your money to transphobes if not doing that makes you sad

Don’t get me wrong, I love the sunshine/grumpy dichotomy of Wrightworth but Phoenix has shown on multiple occasions that most of the time he is ““The Straight Man””.
He’s a wet blanket and routinely gives snide comments on all the weirdos he has to hang out with in the investigation segments. The only time his silly weirdo side comes out is when he’s in court with Edgeworth and that’s because it’s a kangaroo court where he’s fighting for his life the whole time.
In Phoenix’s world Edgeworth is not only infinitely more competent than he is, he’s also the only other normal person. At least in the trilogy that is.The first time I played turnabout big-top I thought I missed a game, or a character interaction or someone else wrote the game because he was such… an asshole? To maya to everybody. He was so 100% no nonsense it freaked me out. But then it was revealed that Edgeworth “died” and that really struck a cord with me.Phoenix’s factory settings are all “Im a mature straight laced lawyer” until he’s around Edgeworth.
Whenever there’s a “sweaty Phoenix.png” in a case against someone else other than edgeworth,it’s because he’s incredulously tolerating the other person’s nonsense.Whereas whenever it’s with Edgeworth it’s given the connotation that he feels he’s less competent.Sort of in silent reverence that he thought that he could get one over Edgeworth.I really love this aspect of Phoenix and I feel it gives his character a ton of nuance besides just being sunshiny or just being prudish. I wish I were better at writing i would totally “wright” him more than with this aspect of his personality specifically.
Bonus points if you factor in that while he was with dahlia he was lovestuck and silly and how that means that this is not only consistent with the type of guy he is when he’s in a relationship but how that could mean he sees himself in edgeworth’s and that’s why he likes him.
