Listen, i am a narumitsu/wrightworth enjoyer through and through, and i too, like to joke about the queer readings of edgeworth’s lines a lot. BUT i feel like that often overshadows the depths of his character and his growth throughout the series (mainly the main trilogy).
Edgeworth is a deeply troubled and traumatized man who suddenly has to reconsider his entire life and moral values (partly) because of things Phoenix has brought to light.
By centering edgeworth’s interpreted feelings towards phoenix when portraying him, we completely flatten his character and forget the nuance.
To me the way his relation to Wright changes over the trilogy reflects a deep range of feelings that shouldn’t just be watered down to “hehe gay”
And that nuance *can* exist in a romantic interpretation, but we need to remember to keep that character arc and that nuance.
Phoenix: *holds Miles hands softly as he smiled at him*You are the love of my life and I would do anything within reason to make you happy.
Edgeworth: *sighs a bit and looks at him* I would be happy if you ate, stayed hydrated and got a reasonable amount of sleep.
Phoenix: I said within reason, Edgeworth. How about I murder that guy?
Edgeworth:*rolls his eyes a bit* So murder is in reason but proper self care isn't?
Phoenix: Well, duh. What kind of question is that?
Edgeworth:*smiles softly and kisses him a bit* such a insolent fool~
Phoenix:*kisses him back but smiles happily* But your fool right~?
Edgeworth: Yes my fool~
(48) some more ace attorney drawings… i am sooo addicted to people telling me how right my opinions on the ace attorney characters are. everyone should keep telling me that all the time. thank you <3
Ace attorney in a nutshell can't tell me otherwise.
Edgeworth: So you're looking for information on this thing, huh? Well, I feel like it must be from far away.
Phoenix: *raises a brow at him* What makes you say that?
Edgeworth: If it's something even I don't know about, then I'm sure nobody else must have a clue. So it's gotta be from some faraway place. Impeccable reasoning, isn't it?
Phoenix: Edgeworth… You don't have a clue about this thing, do you?
Edgeworth: *screams in anger*
Phoenix:*pats his back* I hear you Miles, I hear you
