Now, Do I Personally Believe That Maya And Franziska Would Actively Try To Get Phoenix And Edgeworth

now, do i personally believe that maya and franziska would actively try to get phoenix and edgeworth together? not really. BUT. i don't see the harm in people writing scenarios in which they would? ik this sounds silly since maya and franziska wingmaning is one of the more popular ace attorney fic tropes, but i feel like recently i've seen a lot of hate towards and and i don't understand why!

think of it this way: maya is phoenix's best friend and like pseudo little sister, they're extremely close, and i'm pretty sure she teases him about his love life AT LEAST once in canon (it could be more, or i could've completely made this up, but i've played the trilogy enough where if i tried i could probably find an example but it's late and i'm tired). anyway with that said, why WOULDN'T she care about them getting together? she's shown in the first game to be pretty invested in "the deal with [nick] and edgeworth" her words, not mine. i'm not one to speak on later games because i honestly haven't touched them in over two years and even then they were a complete blur and i forgot everything except that edgeworth looked really ugly from the front. but. if my memory serves me i don't think their dynamic changed much? i can't see her caring AS much at 28 as she would at 17, because obviously she's grown and matured, but i don't think she'd be completely uninterested like some people say. maybe she wouldn't be wearing comical disguises to spy on them, but i could see her encouraging nick, or idk just telling trucy stuff about their old cases to stir something up.

i think the franziska side of things is where i'm a little more understanding, but also not really. on one hand, i get that she's very well put together and mature seeming. on the other hand, that's only how she SEEMS. i won't get into a whole franziska analysis because this post is already longer than i wanted and no one wants to hear me ramble about her, but she's not really as mature as she seems. anyway, would she care THAT much? the answer may surprise you!

now think of it THIS way: edgeworth is franziska's little brother. despite how she acts sometimes she obviously loves him dearly, and would (probably) just want him to be happy, with whatever foolishness it may endure. phoenix wright is franziska's sworn enemy. she can't stand him and feels as though he has personally wronged her before they even met. absolutely hates his guts (except for when they investigate together then they can be friends). franziska is incredibly smart, but she's clearly not the best emotionally. even with that, though, she seems to understand how important edgeworth is to phoenix ("earthquake blah blah blah" "are you thinking of miles edgeworth blah blah blah"). she kind of just accepts this, even though it implies that phoenix (a man he only recently reconnected with) would be on a similar level of emotional connection as his sister. maybe she doesn't think much about it though. she's just like sure whatever you're his most dear and indispensable friend i don't care anymore. do people really think that, if somehow she came to the conclusion that edgeworth had feelings for phoenix she wouldn't care in any way??? i'm not saying it'd necessarily be positive and all "you go girlfriend!", but to say she wouldn't CARE is so wild. she'd probably be furious, and so maybe she wouldn't wingman. but she does CARE about her brother, and honestly if it were presented to her on the right way she probably would wingman. one "hey franziska. i bet you can't make your brother get with phoenix wright. if they get together without your guidance then that basically means edgeworth beat you btw" and she's suddenly invested. (dramatized, but you get the point)

tldr; maya and franziska are not so nonchalant and cool that they wouldn't care about one of the most significant people in their lives having feelings for their courtroom rival of over a decade. that is all.

Personality wise he's definitely the youngest idk about yall

I guess that confirms that Simeon is older than Lucifer, after all. And I'm willing to bet that Michael is also older than him, though I'm not sure Lucifer ever considered him a brother like he did with Simeon.

I just can't picture Michael as younger than them, honestly. And I always viewed Simeon as the older one, so I'm pretty happy with this.

To think that Lucifer might be the youngest out of the trio... 🥲

Good lord....

You fr have the literacy of a fly

BE SERIOUS wataru PROPOSED TO EICHI wataru gave eichi a mask and said, FROM HIS HEART, "love is the awnser. because i love you, eichi, i will stay with you" wataei have a cosmic bond and will grow old together in a loving and MUTUAL relationship. eichis a cute little kittycat you only hate him because hes chronically ill

Go away, EichiP /srs

Wataru doesn't forgive Eichi for what he did, he said so himself and his main reason for joining fine was just to end the war against the Oddballs. WataEi is highly toxic and no one sees it from Wataru's pov, you just see the act he puts on around Eichi (and toxic relationships aren't always visibly toxic or even toxic 100% of the time). Eichi took a lot from of Wataru such as his friendships that he'll never be able to properly rebuild because he had a crush and was roo much of a coward to just go up to the guy and tell him and Wataru said himself that he will never forgive him for that or be able to look at him the same away again, he just didn't want the Oddballs to fight fire with fire and make things worse than they already were. Wataru/Lolthia is canon and a healthy relationship, Wataru didn't just propose to me, he MARRIED ME YOU IDIOT!

(Btw, I hate Eichi for good reason. If you condone what he did, then that says a lot abt your character and morals ngl)
