One of my favorites in this series so far

10- The Wheel of Fortune

The main visual I actually kept from the original card was the wheel itself in the middle, and I tried to keep the clouds somewhat the same

I think Tumblr ate my last one so here.

Tis your sign to ramble to thine hearts content

I've been saving these until I have thought about something in particular to ramble about so get ready,

I am obsessed with the vibe of the Wright's being born performers. Before choosing to pursue law, Phoenix was an art student, implied to either be pursuing illustration or Shakespearian theater. I like to think that part of the appeal of criminal law for him was how dramatized everything was. It's more about weaving a story that connects all the dots provided for the evidence and witness statements than about, you know, knowledge of the law. It's about plot twists and last-minute saves and becoming the sturdy pillar for your client. Phoenix only chooses cases that are so wacky and hopeless that make for excellent stories. What I'm saying is that Phoenix lives for the drama and how the courtroom turns into a stage where he has to convince everyone else of the story he's piecing together that very moment. There's just something so theatric about yelling 'objection' and slamming the desk and making some improvised quips to taunt the guy you're arguing against.

I'm also of the opinion that the whole Beanix persona was originally intended to be more of a character that Phoenix put up to get Kristoph to believe that he had given up. It's clear that it was all about hiding his true thoughts and his identity from anyone who would recognize his spikey hair and wiggly eyebrows. He deliberately stopped wearing his iconic blue and general business casual getup and you cannot tell me that there wasn't so much thought into how he started to present himself. He's known for being highly saturated and spikey and generally pretty emotionally open so this character he built is the exact opposite of all those things and it's totally on purpose.

And just like Trucy, this character performance is a coping mechanism to keep themselves safe and seemingly confident. They both smile so convincingly and refuse to let anyone know if something is wrong. They're both manipulative but not out of malice, out of need for survival. They've both been on the wrong side of public opinion and in some capacity are aware that they're in the crosshairs of someone incredibly dangerous. They can only try to keep each other safe by playing into the act that they've worked on for years.

So sure they have to hide their true feelings under a quirky guise, but also I think they would join a community theater and be so good at it. They're in musicals together, I think Phoenix can sing, and he can sing well. He was in all his school plays and got so good at projecting his voice that they didn't even need to give him a mic (me core). That's what made him so good at objecting. I think that the ace attorney stage plays should be canon in the aa universe and Phoenix should play himself and he gets Trucy to play Pearl. He accidentally has so much homoerotic tension with the guy who plays Edgeworth that the real Edgeworth gets jealous.

Phoenix should also know about a lot of technical stuff that comes with theater, so he does a lot of the setup for lights and audio for Trucy's magic shows, he helps her move props around and should be so involved because I think that would be fun.

I also think he should know enough magic that she sometimes incorporates him into the act around their friends, so she makes a card disappear and Phoenix pulls the same one out of Edgeworth's ear. I love it when they're concerningly in sync and they can basically read each other's minds. They stare at each other and have fully silent conversations.

ace attorney is so crazy why am i crying about phoenix wright and the judge having old friend small talk during a case where the defendant is a WHALE

[notmoreflippingelves]

If any of the krisnix fans following me are already DCU fans, I would be very, very curious to pick some of your brains and mine your existing comics knowledge (as my own is very new and somewhat lacking) about a krisnix-centric, Batman-inspired AU.

i love ace attorney but by god do i hate that they put so many of their main female characters in ridiculously short skirts

[dilf-phoenix-rights]

misunderstanding of my point on one of my post :/

[characteroulette]

ANYWAY Apolluke wedding musings because I looked up short sleeve suit designs and found one that worked for Apollo. (And then looked up an outfit for Luke!) (More thoughts under cut)

I think Apollo would invite Klavier as like his one other friend lol. It'd be cute! And of course they both have jitters about it.

I still don't know how to draw dancing orz (I also got tired of drawing a hat on Luke immediately lol)

Fun fact! Weddings are the most fucking stressful things ever! Especially when you are a mess of anxiety like Apollo.

Happy rabbit year everyone 🐰

My timelapse 🥹✨

franziska has to go to a ball and she brings maya as her plus one ("platonically") and its the point where they both know they like each other and theyre basically dating but theyre not dating and franziska is clearly upset about going and so maya spends the whole time dicking around and trying to cheer her up and at first franziska is worried abt her reputation but then her and maya have so much fun she just starts laughing and realizes she doesnt care... also what do you think they would wesr

AAA YEAH EXACTLYYYYY like franzy understanding that maya wants her to feel more happy and comfortable and that if these people don't care about franziska's happiness why should she care about their opinions! esp when fraziska has been forced to maintain her reputation at the expense of her happiness for so long and now she's found people who don't expect her to do that!!!

i think franziska would wear a fancy suit like with a waistcoat and everything so like extremely high collared shirt with probably ruffles around the neck and then black waistcoat and really really shiny shoes and a black dinner jacket and white silk gloves because it's honestly SUCH a fun formal outfit to wear if you're doing it in a cool queer way. and i do fr think maya would wear like a fancier version of the robes she wears as master of kurain because that's something she feels a connection to

I think ignoring the uh. problems with Spirit of Justice, I've come to the conclusion that I think my biggest issue with it is it really just kind of went "Oh! You want more focus on Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney and it's characters? Sure, here you go! *retcons like. The entire game*"

Anyways I am about to complain a LOT about Spirit of Justice in the tags.
