Phoenix Wright HC

Part 1 HC

What I just crave right now is maybe share an Edgeworth-Wright-Fey Family through the 7 year gap being family oriented. SO here I have a long headcanon series post on Phoenix during the 7 year gap. Mostly Phoenix coz he's my fave.

Just Phoenix being a dad. Burning cookies. Learning to cook because he is now a dad. I am PROJECTING but I firmly believe Phoenix had to budget everything. From food, daily expenses, medicine, Trucy's school supplies, Phoenix's therapy (because Edgeworth would not stop honking on him. Phoenix insists on paying him partially despite being on Edgeworth's dependent list. No, he will not drink BECAUSE he needs that money elsewhere.

Phoenix did tend to eat lesser which drove Miles and Maya nuts. The man does not need diet. He is UNDERWEIGHT! They've been trying their utmost to fatten Phoenix up (Phoenix's words). With an ongoing bet to drive them. So the moment they found out this money strategy of Nick to save money, they both are so frustrated and upset for many reasons and am even more determined. Miles creates a report or power point for every debate Miles will have with Phoenix on this. Maya got Trucy and Pearls involved to ensure Nick eats 3 times a day. When Edgeworth is in LA or when he drags Phoenix to another country, he makes sure Phoenix gets his food even if had to drag him kicking and screaming. Phoenix was no Franziska. It was no contest getting him to eat despite Nick's bitchiness. Edgeworth made it his goal to bring him not only to a 5 star (because he wants to spoil that MAN) but also realized that brining Phoenix to an affordable but delicious place worked like magic. Phoenix did not see that coming. He only realized far too late when Edgeworth is not in LA and he is craving for a certain European or Asian cuisine he ate with Edgeworth in a restaurant.

Maya's strategy is to bully Phoenix into treating them mostly. Dinners also consist of Maya and Trucy slyly piling food onto Phoenix's plate but he can't complain. Pearl's will look so upset if Phoenix tries to skip on any food, ready to punch or kick her Nick for being ridiculous. Maya just straight up bullies Phoenix if he tries to contest not being hungry. Edgeworth gives him the eye, lectures him until his ears bleed if he doesn't eat! If that doesn't work, Miles threatened to bring the one famous restaurant chef to Phoenix once which made Phoenix concede. Pearls makes sure everyone gets to eat their veggies. She will lecture everyone who avoids being healthy - and Phoenix being the worst offender next to Maya, would concede since he is weak to a determined Pearl. Somehow Franziska got involved because of Maya and Miles rantings. She sometimes shows up, out of the blue to get Phoenix to eat properly, driven crazy by Maya and Miles endless topic. There is no escape for him.

He is hell no to a lot of modern appliances and stuck to traditional cooking. Meaning he'd use the stove. If he's really desperate, he'll do charcoal cooking - as he could not afford to order gas to the displeasure of his neighbors. This man could not be stopped. His neighbors pitches if he ever comes to attempts charcoal cooking. A trade off was to attend a neighbor thing and cook for everyone and yes - he does not have to spend a dime. He cooked rice traditionally versus a rice cooker. Learned a lot of cooking. Chinese food, Japanese cuisine, also German cuisine because of Miles. It doesn't help that Miles brings Phoenix to a lot of European countries. And when Edgeworth treats him and Trucy, Phoenix back at US is driven crazy half the time of the food he tasted there and with the money issue, he just obsessed at one point to cook that food he tased in Germany or what country Miles brought him to.

Phoenix is, when stressed, stress bakes. Lots of sweets. And they all look absolutely adorable. His cookies are sometimes steel samurai or whatever Trucy is into. It's so artsy.

Lost in the crowd, no one will ever know The girl in blue is all alone

[ermitanyoh]

Phoenix left a bit to get a glass of water and miles was a mess after he left... this is the outcome

Bonus: the two witnessed the whole scene with receipt

[qhypnos]

Continuation from (X)

[periwinkla]

Cover is done... and so is the comic. It will come out tomorrow, in fact! (also the steel samurai pin + Phoenix's scarf are a gift from Maya - it's actually pretty important in the comic but I won't give any spoilers!)

can we talk about how insane 3-5 was from a narumitsu and feenris enjoyer’s perspective?

i have so many thoughts on bridge to the turnabout and miles’ top tier emotional repression throughout that case, because if the person who altered the course of my life asked ME to defend an ex they braved climbing a freezing cold mountain for and were still very obviously hung up on, i would fucking throw up. don’t even get me started on iris, miles, the psychelock scene, and the “what is mr. wright to you?” call out.

the generous use of ellipses does NOT help bro’s case.

also important: the framing of these exchanges reads like a romance novel. the love triangle? the silent resignation and unspoken words? edgeworth’s insistence that iris disclose the events of night prior with him so he can help she and phoenix reunite? the same guy who doesn’t give a damn about romance literally wingmanning phoenix for chump change?! look me in the eyes and tell me miles wasn’t even a little bit affected by this.

that “so you say” and “anyway, it seems to me like there’s something going on between the two of you” is bitter as hell. do not lie to me.

i will admit my enthusiasm stems in part from the beast that is my narumitsu getting together hc, whispering scary things into my ear like miles first subconsciously acknowledges his feelings for phoenix after larry’s call. he rushes back to the states with no intent to act on them, they simply exist in a vacuum and in perpetuity, as much a part of him as his history, or his limbs. he has no plans of exploring the tightness in his chest but then phoenix asks him for a favor. a big one. there’s a glint in his eye and his voice is tinged with desperation and oh he never had any hopes to begin with but he still feels like something’s died inside him because of course phoenix wants him to defend her and of course phoenix hasn’t removed her acolyte hood from his person and of course—

do you see the vision? the only thing that matches 3-5’s angst potential is 7 yg, and i’d say 3-5 touches upon the 7 yg dynamic already.

they both think the other one is cool...

More ace attorney (like pretty much all phoenix and maya) incorrect quotes/text post things

[littlestuffstohide]

I just watched Wicked this weekend and I'm addicted. All I could think about is Phoenix just singing Defying Gravity. Also me thinking Phoenix would cheer Trucy up by playing minus one theater songs and singing and doing theater stuff around the house to cheer her up.

He's a parent so he definitely has to have a car because of Trucy.

It's his past time to play musicals in car. He would always sing as he brings Trucy to school or any errand he does.

It's one thing that always and never fails to cheer Trucy up.

I’m watching pride and prejudice for the first time and as I saw Mr. Darcy I felt as if I had seen him before. After long watching and careful consideration, I had a sudden thought and I knew where I had seen such an unpleased frown mixed with such challenged emotions before : Miles Edgeworth, prosecutor of the Ace Attorney franchise.

It fits so perfect. In Phoenix we find the strong willed and free spirited protagonist that is Elizabeth Bennet. Thus I must insist on a Pride and Prejudice AU of Ace Attorney.

As such it all begins with Pride and Prejudice, doesn’t it?

[merethessc]

it kills me to think how differently scenes of them thinking of each other were portrayed in their games

pov: the legal league of attorneys trusts you to do your work after you begged them to let you go to london another time (hopefully without weird medieval towns), but how can you focus on case files when your sick boyfriend is sleeping on top of you in your hoodie after overdoing it with grading in his office?

Dual Destinies Spoilers (5-5)!

so what exactly did phoenix mean when he said he was sorry for everything he put edgeworth through?

a quick look at forums/reddit netted me the following interpretations:

he’s apologizing to edgeworth for ushering in the dark age of law and leaving him to deal with the aftermath

he’s apologizing for all the trouble edgeworth went through to help him get reinstated/vouching for the jurist system

neither of these feel quite right to me. the first point because phoenix says he's troubled miles for “eight years”, yet the dark age of law didn’t officially start until a year after he was disbarred (simon blackquill’s guilty verdict). this means the dark age would have only been in effect for seven years. also, shifting public opinion of the courts is edgeworth’s responsibility as the chief prosecutor, which he’d only been for about a year as of 5-5.

*granted, i wasn’t as locked in for dual destinies as i was for other entries in the franchise, so this could just be me not paying enough attention to when the dark age began.

i do think phoenix feels guilty for contributing to the public’s negative perception of the courts, so this interpretation still holds some merit, unlike the former half of the second interpretation, which doesn’t make sense at all. phoenix didn’t get confirmation edgeworth pulled some strings to get him reinstated until after 5-5’s resolution, when edgeworth openly admits it. the latter half is fine, but i don’t think it was specifically the jurist system he was referencing—one because “eight years” implies phoenix began work on the jurist system immediately after the gramarye trial and two because edgeworth’s response, “i’m sorry i wasn’t able to help you” contradicts the idea that phoenix's apology was related to his help with the jurist system.

so what is phoenix apologizing for? we know how terribly he was affected by losing his badge aka the focal point of his identity, which amplified his cageyness and bitterness tenfold. we know edgeworth was present in his life because he would fly phoenix and trucy out to europe while phoenix was disbarred. we also know from this dialogue that phoenix purposefully kept edgeworth from “helping” him (“nah. i was the one who made that decision”).

this leads me to believe the trouble he put edgeworth through was—on top of the agreeable parts of the two aforementioned interpretations—emotionally charged, angsty 7-year gap + lead up to his return anguish, wherein phoenix shut miles out and miles had to shove his way in, first trilogy phoenix style. and edgeworth’s apology, while seemingly related to phoenix’s badge, was also about him feeling like he hadn't done enough to aid phoenix during the lowest point in his life.
