That Man! An Ace Attorney Fan Comic

More under the cut!

I really liked AA:I, so I had to make a silly comic about it (it probably breaks canon somewhere, but I'm okay with it!). Ace Attorney really inspired me to become a writer/comic artist, so I wanted to give back to the franchise. Hope you enjoy.

"Hey, Buck. It's Christopher. I know you're sick, but it's only temporary. You're gonna be okay." [2.10] -> [6.11]

[tgd-sideblog]

Eddie’s come to the conclusion that he’s attracted to Buck, and might even be in love with him, but is still figuring out what that means for his sexuality. So he goes (alone) to a gay bar, just to give it a try. And he ends up hitting it off with this random guy on the dance floor, and they end up making out in the bathroom. And they’re both really into it, and Eddie’s all like maybe I am gay, when the guy’s like, “okay, well, we should probably tell each other our names”

And Eddie’s like “fair enough, I’m Eddie” and the guy’s asks “like Edward? Edmund? Eduardo?” And Eddie laughs and is like “no, Edmundo.”

And the guy stops, and goes “this is crazy, but do you happen to be a firefighter?”

And Eddie just figures that he probably met this guy on a call and forgot about it, so he’s just like “haha yeah”

But then the guy’s like “and I know this is super weird, but were you in the army?” And Eddie’s like “…yeah?” (while internally going like shit, did I know this guy in the army and forget about it?)

And the guy’s like “okay not to be too creepy or anything, but, like, do you happen to be from El Paso? And have a silver star? And a kid?”

And Eddie’s like “uhh, yes? I’m sorry, how do I know you??” And the guy’s like “hinge.” And Eddie’s like, “Okay, well, I don’t have a hinge”And the guy’s like, “No, but your boyfriend does”

And, as it turns out, this guy went on a hinge date with Buck a few months back, and it Did Not Go Well. Buck spent the whole time talking about Eddie, and it was so bad that this became like, one of this guy’s canonical bad first date stories. And the kicker is, he ended the night being like “you seem like a nice person, but I think you might be in love with your best friend” And Buck was like “no. that’s crazy. he’s straight.”

Eddie's brain: Just talk to him like a normal person, tell him you want him to stay, stop looking at him intensely hoping he'll understand on his own. You've got this!

When Eddie leaves for El Paso, he and Buck share a goodbye knowing it is their only chance at what could have been. Eddie leaves more behind than he knows.

do you think when Chimney, Eddie, & Buck were helping Maddie move in Chimney was thinking, "oh god, oh no, don't look at Eddie, look at me, oh god, oh no, she's so pretty and funny, don't mention the rebar incident, oh god" and Eddie was thinking, "oh god, oh no, is Buck actually setting me up with his sister??? she's beautiful. but how do I get out of this without making anyone mad????" and Buck was thinking, "oh god, oh no, did I just bring single eddie around single maddie???? oh shit, oh no, wait why is this a bad thing? why do I--oh, she thinks Chimney's cute phewww" and Maddie was thinking, "man, that Chimney sure is cute. Oh, look, Buck's being weird about Eddie. Anyway, love that Howie guy :))))))))"

sending a wish into the world for a buddie dancing with the stars au. i don't know enough about dance or the show to write it myself but canonical ballroom dancer eddie just begs for it.

Eddie is obviously one of the pros and Buck is a celebrity of whatever variety who comes in with middling prospects (he's not graceful but he's fit so he'll probably last until mid season). I feel like it's more interesting if they aren't partnered with each other (Buck & Taylor maybe?) but they hit it off backstage and idk get to dance together in the group dance.

Taylor is a perfectionist and every year wants to be a serious competitor so pushes Buck hard, her fault focused training approach convinces Buck he's a bad dancer, but Eddie is encouraging and lowkey giving Buck advice so he'll do well and stay around. And there's also the whole media attention aspect of it. Maybe one of them does something that starts the rumour of a showmance but the media has the wrong partner in mind because they don't know about all their backstage interactions etc, idk i'm just vibing

Not to be rehashing 8x18 again like a month after the fact, but I am once again thinking about the wasted potential of trapping Buck and Ravi in a collapsing building only to easily resolve it like 1 scene later. So re-jig the season so we've got two episodes for the building collapse instead of one (which would also make the Athena and Chim storyline feel less like they set up drama just to lazily handwave it away [how does S8 have two unrelated storylines where interpersonal tension is resolved by somebody who should already know seeing firsthand that paramedics save lives?????] oh no I've got tangents in my tangents...)

Anyway! Buck and Ravi in the building, their original exit is already out but they're confidently looking for a new one, Eddie watching at home on TV ostensibly packing to go back to El Paso but distracted. He knows his team is there, but he's also got a reminder of his flight and that he's expected at the new job, he's torn between wanting to help and his percieved responsibility to return to El Paso. The section Buck and Ravi are in collapses, there fate unknown. Cut to Eddie seeing that collapse, he visibly makes a decision, 8x17 ends on that mild cliffhanger, but of course we all know how it's going to work out, fandom gets to have fun talking about how Eddie has a sixth sense for Buck, he doesn't know Buck is danger but also that's totally why he makes the decision to stay.

Then 8x18 is entirety focused on the rescue plus giving some of the montage plot resolutions more than 5 seconds (Eddie asks Chris to stay instead of Chim deciding for both of the; maybe the 118 were ending a 24 the morning of the collapse, Mara's adoption formalisation was scheduled late that afternoon, Hen should have had plenty of time between the two but now she's facing another job family clash, obviously she has to help but it ties back to her job vs kids stuff earlier in the season, gives her a chance to reflect on in captaincy would really clash with her family significantly more than the job already does, they wrap up just in time, Maria's adoption is a triumphant post-rescue moment instead of an afterthought and we also see that Hen's family support her and are understanding of the job... aanndd I'm tangenting again🤦‍♀️).
