phoenix wright : demon prosecutor
some of y'all writers are weird af 💀
like wdym you write smut about a MINOR but it's okay cuz you aged them up and warn minors to not interact w the post?
Do you even hear yourselfs???? and I KNOW most of y'all are GROWN ADULTS writing about minors...
even if you "age them up" why are you simping for a minor in the first place?
and yeah i'm looking at y'all blue lock and jjk writers...
anyone else think about the fact that celeste inpax was older than matt engarde and also his manager, and maybe juan called off the wedding bc he found out his fiance had been like. grooming the last guy she worked for? cuz im fairly sure juan was an adult by the time they started dating (tho theres always the chance he was still a minor), and i just. i know how they meant it, but it always came across to me as “matt casually mentions how he and celeste got together when he was 16, and juan decides maybe he shouldnt marry her actually”
i think about this constantly
I actually like it when ships hurt each other in long lasting and unforgiveable ways. I like it when they leave vicious, glaring scars. I like when they leave traumas. I like when they stab each other and torture each other and ruin each other’s lives and violate every inch of each other’s values. and I like it when they fucking kill each other permanently dead.
franziska coming around on phoenix as she grows older and finally admits her harshness was never his fault but instead her jealousy that he could stand next to edgeworth, who always felt so far out of her reach and would never return her love (not romantic just deep admiration and respect) the way he clearly did phoenix's
she finally "concedes defeat" and treats phoenix with kindness and without any expectation of reciprocation because doing so is the most pure act of love she can do for miles. and since she's finally accepted that love should be given without expecting anything in return, that it be unconditional, she is also finally able to open up to receive love in ways she never expected and realized she needed.
phoenix, being who he is, forgives like everything is a fresh start, and his warmth completely knocks her off her feet and everything is suddenly clear to her. "ah. this is why he loves him. this is why i could never do what he did."
and suddenly, phoenix is her big brother. not little brother like miles but genuinely sincerely the figure in her life she should have had all along. her father had trauma bonded her to miles and she had no other guiding mentors, but now she has big brother phoenix.
miles has no idea when this happened. he doesn't understand at all how his little sister, who chided and harassed this man he loved, suddenly stopped looking down on him and began looking up to him. he's grateful, her approval of his partner means more than he'll ever be able to say, but he's lost.
phoenix gets it. he does not tease her the way he does maya because he knows how prized and vulnerable and fragile and valuable the kindness of franziska von karma is, how it should be cherished as the priceless gemstone it is.
they bicker. they have different tastes in music and art. they debate like two old men in the box seats of a theatre. but the barbs are a love language. the attacks lack their old spite and volatility. it is a choreographed dance rather than a spar. sometimes, people forget that miles was the one she had been raised with.
when phoenix and miles marry, franziska dances with each of them in lieu of the parent-child dance. she leads miles, but she lets phoenix lead her.
he thanks her and promises he will take care of miles the way she had for so many years. she smiles and admits "i know."
post-match hug for the babies
best friend asked me "how would Miles react if XYZ happened" and in the span of a half hour, mostly asleep, I wrote just under 1k words and I really think the spirit of Miles Edgeworth possessed me .
If I ever develop that further it'll go on ao3 as Miles/NaruMitsu angst so be on the lookout
So I unfortunately wasn’t able to finish my original drawing for Kaito’s birthday on time (thank procrastination and adding too many people for that), so I opted to make a quick piece to post before the end of the day
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAITO I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!! 🎉✨💕🎂
it's almost almost christmas
