[nemainofthewater]

Q: How are you feeling? A: *coughing up blood* Never felt better in my life

Q: Are you dying of a deadly disease and/or are fatally wounded? A: Of course not

Q:Is there a world-shattering secret (about my life) that you aren't telling me? A: Of course not

Q: ...are you lying to me? A: ...

Hello everyone and welcome to the Lying Liar Who Lies Poll! This character would probably claim they were fine while literally on their death bed. Or they might have fun lying to people for fun and profit. Perhaps they just can't help it anymore - if they don't lie at least once a day they go into withdrawal.

Looking at the list of candidates, it might even be all three...

Vote to find out who's the most egregious liar in cdrama (affectionate)! Propaganda, call out posts, and write-in candidates welcome!

Who can seed this torrent???

Guys, "Rise of Phoenixes" is no longer on netflix and the only complete torrent I can find has zero seeders.

Have you used this torrent in the past? Can you seed it? Or, if you have all 70 eps and their subs (or hard baked into the video is also fine!!) would you be willing to make a new torrent we can all use so we can grab copies of the show since we have no idea when it will ever come back?

I can't put in a link *and* put a post in the tags- tumblr will block it. But the name of the torrent itself is "The Rise of Phoenixes (Complete)", very simple, looks like 70 files and I'm assuming the subs are hard baked since they do not have a separate file.

If you can seed but need a new link to the torrent, DM me and I will message it to you asap so we can get this ball rolling. If you have different files and are willing to make a new torrent of the complete series with subs, please post to r/cdrama (bonus if you can dm me a link!).

Thanks guys-- let's see if we can save the show a little.

Reblogs to spread the word are super loved and appreciated, please let's see if we can find any seeders, which would be the easiest course. <33333

Group C Round 1

[image ID: the first image is of Psianop, a blue blob reading a book in what appears to be a desert. the second image is of Gu Nanyi, a Chinese man with long black hair pulled into a ponytail. he's wearing blue and black hanfu with a leather belt. he's also holding a sword. end ID]

Psianop

His friends called him a wimp and kicked him out of the band, so he went to the library and hit the books for twenty years in order to master Kung Fu. Now he’s back, with a thousand techniques and a degree in trash talk, and hoo boy is he gonna show them all.

Gu Nanyi

he is pretty. he is the best sword fighter in existence (he never claims to be). he is autistic. he is loyal. and in the end (spoiler) he is all alone. he tries to protect the ones he loves but he fails.

If i sinned something in the rise of the phoenixes it would be each and every time they take a bow.

There's a user called Erika Horn (@erikahorn.art) on tiktok who made a "duet me" challenge so technically impressive that all of the duets are exactly like this LMAO

true siblings bond over bullying Phoenix Wright for making a girl cry on accident. #feminism

Okay, so I’ve seen some Ace Attorney Fans speculate that the screwdriver featured as a minor piece of evidence in ‘Rise from the Ashes’

Is actually the same screwdriver as the one that was a major plot-point back in ‘Turnabout Sisters’. 

Because, well, they look pretty much the same and also it is mentioned the screwdriver is from one of Miles’ previous cases… and Miles was the Prosecutor on ‘Turnabout Sisters’. Plus, it would explain why he’s so cagey about explaining it to Phoenix during RFTA. Obviously he wouldn’t want to bring this case up in front of Wright again.

And, well, the thing is that all of these explanations do make sense and do make it sound like this was the authorial intent, but….. There is one thing that bothers me. 

The whole Thing with the RFTA Screwdriver is that Miles got it from the Evidence Room where the crime took place. And that Evidence Room is specifically mentioned to be a special one reserved for especially violent crimes involving members of law enforcement.

And this doesn't apply to the 'Turnabout Sisters' case but.... feels like it’s meant to be the Turnabout Sisters Screwdriver, y’know? 

So, actually, you know what I think?

Well, after an Ace Attorney trial concludes and we find the real culprit and our defendant gets the ‘Not-Guilty’ verdict… it’s not like the Real Culprit gets Immediately Sent to Jail. They get their own off-screen trial to determine their guilt officially (as we saw briefly with Luke Atmey’s grand larceny trial in ‘The Stolen Turnabout’). 

So I think that after the story of ‘Turnabout Sisters’ ended for Phoenix and Maya and us the players, Miles Edgeworth also took it upon himself to be the one to prosecute in Redd White’s own trial. Either as a way to ‘double-check’ all that Phoenix has proven in his own trial, or as atonement for almost getting this guy off-the-hook in the first place, or because it’s pretty clear that Miles is one person that Redd doesn’t have specific dirt on, or probably because of some combination of the three. 

This case against Redd White is the AI-16 Incident that is labeled on the Screwdriver, and it covers all of the charges that have been put against White - not just Mia’s murder and the wiretapping of her law office but also his empire of blackmail. That we know have involved high-ranking members of the police, some of which have been driven to suicide by White.

As such, this will qualify the Screwdriver to be placed in the Special Evidence Vault for Dead Cop Cases, while still maintaining the connection to ‘Turnabout Sisters’!

Oh no! We have to infiltrate a sect/brothel/imperial palace/imperial academy but women/men aren't allowed! What can we do???

WELL

If there is one thing that Cdrama has taught us, it's that changing your clothes and hair makes you unrecognisable even if you don't change your make-up. If you're more worried, then perhaps you can add a fake moustache (it never fails!)

*I'm actually a little unclear if the actress is meant to be portraying a man at this point, but she doesn't remove her make up so I'm counting it

Propaganda, examples, and write-ins absolutely welcome!

I am here to report back, after lasering this damn show into my eyesockets over the past seven days, that it's true, the last 15 episodes truly do sputter out, and there are places in the last 25 episodes where it's obvious scenes were cut but they just ran with it anyway.

I don't know if it's because the web novel wasn't finished yet so they had to just wing the tail end of it??? Or what the deal was. But for sure the first half is fucking ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ so I'm definitely gonna carry that with me into the future.

"Rise of the Phoenixes" leaves Netflix after tomorrow, but if you'd like to see some clever television for the first 50 or so episodes and some off the charts compelling performances, I recommend torrenting it. I certainly will. I love discovering new actors and clever as fuck stories.

And not as a spoiler, but insurance-- folks online have translated the actual ending from the original web novel and it is 100% a happy ending, so don't let the show ending get you down. Just give it a massive eye roll and then do a search and all will be well!
