laying on the floor thinking about franziska & miles….
#guys help it’s setting in again#when the characters… when the characters are siblings…. raised by an imposing father who eventually hurts them in ways that will never heal#(to be clear. I am team Manfred Von Karma wasn’t like. exceptionally abusive. I don’t think he was a monster to his kids while raising them.#I think he imposed extreme standards of perfection on them and himself that have done so much harm to miles & franziska.#so. emotional abuse. yes. but I don’t think it was like. an intentional evil scheme.#I think he just raised kids while having a fucked up worldview.#‘he killed edgeworth’s dad’ YES. YES HE DID. MONSTER!!! but what if. he did that. and then raised franziska & miles with love.#with all the love Von Karma could muster to show. and it was harsh. it was cold. but it was love.#and THEN. AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR. THE FINAL MOMENT BEFORE DL-6 COULD FINALLY GO AWAY. that was when he unraveled.#and that makes his betrayal and plot to destroy edgeworth even worse…#what if that. what if.)#anyway. miles being the first one in the game to say to Franziska’s face ‘you are being emotionally immature and violent like a child’#and franziska shooting back with ‘well! I came here to win a case and make you come back-‘#(sidenote: DID SHE HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE HE WAS ALIVE? BEYOND GUT INSTINCT??? INSANE. INSANE BURDEN TO PUT ON HERSELF.#WIN AGAINST PHOENIX. REMAIN PERFECT IN ALL WAYS. AND YOUR BROTHER. THE LAST FAMILY YOU HAVE. WILL COME BACK FROM THE DEAD. INSANE GIRLIE.)#‘-but now that you’re here I don’t even want to look at you because you’re a painful reminder of everything that went wrong.’#franziska is rotating so fast in my mental microwave… the way she emulates Von karma in court. all the action. none of his control.#either of the court or of himself. franziska DOES act like a child. she hits people when she doesn’t get her way!#and it’s like yeah OF COURSE SHE DOES! SHES BEEN DOING THIS SINCE SHE WAS 13!!! THATS HOW SHE ACTED THEN AND NO ONE DARED CORRECT HER#BECAUSE SHES A VON KARMA. SHES PERFECT. SHES A SCARY LITTLE GIRL WITH A WHIP AND NO ONE FUCKING SAID ‘hey. uh. maybe. don’t hit people?’#god I am just fascinated by her. the way she has Von karma’s finger waggle animation but her version doesn’t stop the dialogue#and force you to watch the whole animation… she literally does not have the same power he did…#putting her in a cat carrier and taking her to the vet. that’s how I feel about her#ace attorney#franziska von karma#miles edgeworth#btw I’m only on AA 2 so if my analysis is way off somehow? that’s why.
