Fun games to play with your buddies on discord

The Purr-ice is Right: Someone posts a furry adoptable sheet with all the prices blurred out and everyone has to guess how much it sold for. A good variation is posting a lineup and having to rank the designs from most to least expensive

He Would Not Fucking Say That: Someone posts a line of dialogue from a particularly egregiously out-of-character fic (fandom specified beforehand) with all the names blacked out and the participants have to guess who said the line. Another alternative is posting an out of context line from a fic and the participants have to guess what fandom it's from

Hiii that post that you wrote about Diego's poisoning makes me INSANE. Just. "If he can just reach out, grab hold of her, he might be able to stop himself from falling— or at the very least drag her down to hell with him." "With the last breath he remembers taking, Diego Armando screams loud enough to wake the dead." HELLO???? HELLOOO???? INSANE WHOLLY INSANE

!!!! THANK YOU!!!! It's part of a larger fic I want to (eventually) finish about Diego moving in with the Feys post-prison, but it's reeeeeeeally slow going. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I'm always so nervous about posting fic online compared to art so seeing that there are people out there who read and enjoy it makes me happier than words QuQ

Side note: not sure how these asks keep ending up on my main and not my sideblog but ah well. tumblr is a functional website.

Kirby fanfiction is the funniest thing in the entire world

[nyaagolor]

You know, no matter how insane ace attorney gets, I still don’t think they’ll top the first game in terms of sheer “??????” factor. Moving space centers and magic bracelets and made up countries and the chess dimensions are great and silly and all that, but never, EVER has an ace attorney plot point astounded me more than “ghosts are undoubtedly real but we can’t use their testimony in court because we think one of them committed perjury”

[nyaagolor]

Everyone talks about how silly Ace Attorney is but only ever mentions the parrot and the Almost Christmas thing, so here’s a few highlights of insane shit that happens in Ace Attorney that I personally adore:

The famous orca defendant from Phoenix’s first case after disbarment turns out to be the secret sibling of another orca… who was also falsely accused of murder

The final case of what is widely considered one of the best games in the series involves a clown crushing the president of fantasy Hong Kong to death with a hot air balloon. The president turns out to be a body double who replaced the original president 15 years prior. This is all taken completely seriously

The inciting incident of effectively the entire series was an episode of cupcake wars that went really, REALLY poorly

The plot of the most recent mainline game is “what if defense attorneys were systematically oppressed by the government”

The main character gets hit by a car in one of the cases and walks it off. He does sprain his ankle though

Two separate characters can summon butterflies in court and make their scarves levitate. They have literally no relation to each other and this inexplicable telekinesis is never mentioned by the cast even once

A major plot point in one of the cases is someone tying a corpse to the end of a rope and then pendulum swinging them across a bridge so aggressively they get launched 30 feet into the air on the other side. This is fully animated and you get to watch it happen no less than 4 times

Ace Attorney facts from interviews that live rent free in my brain:

- Turnabout Big Top was voted in the Top 5 cases in the trilogy in a Japanese poll and is, on record, Takumi’s favorite non-finale case

- The team got yelled at for “including too many old men” which led to the creation of Mia’s character

- Takumi’s favorite character is Maya, but he has to get drunk before he can write her dialogue otherwise he gets too embarrassed

- The most requested case concept from fans is [checks notes] a.. train groping case?????

- Takumi has more trouble writing Phoenix than Edgeworth bc the prosecutor is “more unstable than the average person”

- Takumi’s headcanon is that Phoenix was training to be a Shakespearean actor in college and that’s why he’s Like That. He was in Europe studying theatre when he saw Edgeworth in the newspaper and then pivoted to law. Apparently Takumi thinks Phoenix might have been a manga artist’s assistant in college for extra money too?

- Edgeworth’s sanity is apparently hanging exclusively on his dog, who is the only living thing he can be vulnerable with. If the dog dies Edgeworth would apparently Fucking Lose It

- Phoenix thinks Edgeworth is a “pretty cute guy”

- Edgeworth’s favorite music is Korean techno / disco

- When one of the Von karmas wins a case, Manfred takes them out for karaoke

[nyaagolor]

I understand why people think Manfred would be bigoted but honestly I think it would be significantly funnier if he just. Wasn’t. Someone calls him homophobic in court and he’s immediately like “I?? The great prosecutor Von Karma, blinded by the biases of lesser men? I fight only for justice and the holy fire of retribution, how dare you insinuate that I am beholden to the fallacies of the wretched” and everyone immediately tunes out his self-aggrandizement bc they’re just flabbergasted by von karma supporting gay rights

more AA interview facts because ppl liked the last post more than I expected

When it comes to the main trilogy, the title of "favorite character" among the male staffers is pretty unanimously Godot. According to Takumi, female staffers (and fans) prefer Edgeworth. No one on staff expected Edgeworth and AA in general to be so popular among women but have come to love it

When Maya Fey is surprised, the liquid coming out of her mouth is not spit, it's actually ectoplasm

Gumshoe has "a lot of pure and warm love within him" that he pours into investigating instead of a girlfriend. He's married to his job, but would make a lovely husband otherwise

Franziska and Edgeworth don’t wear their prosecutor's badges because it's "more chic"

Diego was planning on proposing to Mia around the time he was poisoned

Edgeworth is "bad at communicating with people and horses"

The VA for Godot was so happy with how his lines came out that he uses the Godot voice to flirt with people irl

The office where all the staff works would receive chocolates on Valentine’s day addressed to the characters

While Takumi “can perfectly imagine Phoenix working in the service industry” he thinks that while in art school, he would do painting modeling for money

[nyaagolor]

I like to think that the WAA is super haunted because the ghost lawyers got bored and want smth to do

[nyaagolor]

“What dynamic do you think MVK had with Franziska”

This, basically

[nyaagolor]

People are always debating the role that Phoenix and Edgeworth should play post AA4 and in my humble opinion they should be like those old guys in the Muppets

they sit in the gallery and provide bitchy commentary the entire time. That's it

[nyaagolor]

The fact that Furio Tigre could use a cardboard badge and a vague resemblance as means to represent someone in court is enough to convince me that Godot was not legally a prosecutor at any point in time. I’m dead convinced he just walked into the court because he heard Phoenix would be there and told the prosecutor that he was now in charge of the case, banking entirely on the fact that no one would call his bluff. They didn’t.

Edgeworth becomes chief prosecutor and finds that those cases’ court records are a disaster because Diego never filled out any of the paperwork and no one could find him to follow up because Godot isn’t his real name. He just Rasputin’d the entire court system for 6 months because no one had the courage to call him out on his bullshit

[nyaagolor]

you know… rivals!

[nyaagolor]

It literally took me two games to realize she's mimicking him. I need to go sit down

[nyaagolor]

I think Phoenix and Apollo make an excellent legal team because Phoenix is a human miracle machine in court and Apollo basically lives to do paperwork, which Phoenix cannot stand. Apollo could recite the entirety of the California Penal Code if pressed and Phoenix is convinced that the only classes of murder he needs to care about are "guilty" and "not guilty"

Phoenix pulls off a crazy turnabout and there's 600 pages of documents that need to be gone over and charges that need to be filed bc none of Phoenix’s cases are ever simple. It’s all extremely semantic nit-picky bullshit so Phoenix just hands the stack to Apollo who lights up like Phoenix just offered to buy him a puppy
