To evacuate my family from Gaza

https://www.gofundme.com/f/ej4d3-help-my-family-to-get-out-of-gaza

Hello this is a legitimate fundraiser!

Ahmad and his family need your help to evacuate Gaza. He has a wife and 4 children trying to shelter amid the rubble. And his father is severely injured with no available means of treating him.

Unfortunately this is not the first time the Al-Zaeem family has lost their home and belongings. As their home fell to Israeli airstrikes in 2021 as well. And in 2023 and now with the invasion into Rafah, they've lost their shelter again.

Their GoFundMe is only at $332 CAD out of $50,000 CAD. Please donate if you can and if you can't please share this!

Donate to Help my family to get out of Gaza, organized by Ahmed Alzaeem

Dear Friends and Supporters, I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, hoping t… Ahmed Alzaeem needs your support for Help my family

How do you think Arthur and Eames were when they first met each other? How did they interact? They disliked each other instantly or did the animosity come later? It took a long time for them to learn to appreciate each other? Did they become friends before falling into romance? Or the attraction was too much?

(Basically, what trope, if any, do you think they most likely embody?)

hello love! I’m gonna use this as a chance to rant about my own personal favourite headcanon about how they were, so double thank you for this :DD

I think they met on a job, both newbies in their respective fields (or eames starting out as an extractor ~an upgrade from theif status~and finding his true calling in forgery) with their worst qualities as their most prominent. arthur being hyper focused in the task at hand and forgetting everything else and eames getting progressively prickly as the job progresses. so I feel they both hated each other, cause they were both very stubborn individuals with clashing personalities. but as the time inevitably went on and the rough edges smoothed out in to professionalism, they both started begrudgingly respecting each other.. and then they fucked. multiple times. mostly drunk. friends with benefits but sth more waiting to happen.

I feel like during that time, one of them started/or tried to start to date someone (let’s be honest, it’s arthur) , which led both of them to realise their respective feelings for each other; oh god I can’t be anyone’s but his” and “oh god he can’t be anyone but mine”. and at the tail end of a blotched job (the very first inception job, which eames regrets and arthur doesn’t talk about anymore) they ran off together and finally, finally confronted and confessed their feelings and, on a whim, got married.

and obviously got divorced/annulled when the shit hit the cobbs and fucked off to opposite corners of the world. and obviously got back together when shit hit the ficshers. and stayed together hopefully. and forever.

Smug, smugger, smuggest.

Miles Edgeworth's Secret

This post is purely for documentation purposes, and also to inform anyone who may not be aware. This post will contain SPOILERS for the end of Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations, so proceed with caution.

During Case 5, Bridge to the Turnabout, while playing as Edgeworth, you are presented the opportunity to peer into Iris' heart. Specifically in regards to a secret she is withholding from Phoenix, someone she was romantically involved with. During which, if the player fails to present the correct evidence specifically for the second Psyche-Lock, an interesting conversation concerning the nature of secrets occurs.

I have seen talk of this dialogue, but no footage or screenshots, so I took the liberty of getting them myself. The full conversation and my further thoughts will be found under the cut.

You MUST present incorrect evidence during the second Psyche-Lock. This dialogue is laughably easy to miss, which is why I could find zero footage of it. (Sorry if the formatting for this sucks)

(Interesting to note: the music stops playing here.)

Incidentally, Iris' secret is that she developed romantic feelings for Phoenix while dating him in college (disguised as her twin sister). Edgeworth affirms her thoughts, confirming that he does indeed have a secret of similar nature deep within his heart and soul; "It takes one to know one." It cannot be said what exactly this secret of his is, but every real plot point behind Edgeworth has been more or less resolved by this point in the series. He found his path as a prosecutor, the truth behind his involvement in the DL-6 incident was concluded, so... What's left? Reading between the lines, this only really seems to lead us to one answer. It has something to do with romantic feelings. I truly can't see it being anything else, even with a critical mind.

Just mere moments ago, Iris had inquired as to what Edgeworth and Phoenix' relationship was. Edgeworth (famously) responds that Wright is a "dear and indispensable friend". Wonder if Iris gleamed something deeper from that comment, then? ;P Keep in mind: she makes these comments directly because Edgeworth avoided presenting Phoenix Wright's profile.

"he just like me fr" - iris probably

Now, just for completion's sake, let's see what happens when you present Phoenix's profile and break the Psyche-Lock.

I have a lot of thoughts regarding this string of text from the two of them. This is a huge reach from an admittedly shipper-crazed brain, but aren't Edgeworth's retorts here... interesting? He does not know this girl, but he knows that the two of them are important to one another. We can assume it's likely that he is pushing for this for Wright's sake, rather than Iris'. At this point it's fair to say that Edgeworth has some basic understanding of her secret (the feelings, at least), and he doesn't benefit from her telling Phoenix her secret. So why is he adamant that she does it? Especially when he's, apparently, holding a secret of similar nature himself? Projecting, perhaps?

"But it's pointless..." "Why would you say that?"

Why indeed.

(EDIT) I was thinking about this feverishly, and I had another thought. What if the "darkness in his heart" and his "secret" has something to do with jealousy? Still in context of romantic feelings... it starts to make sense that this could fit into the puzzle as well. By this point it was already established to Edgeworth that Phoenix and Iris share an intimate connection of some kind, and with all of this pressuring (including the words the two of them share before Edgeworth leaves the Detention Centre), it sort of adds up. "Uncovering the truth" in order to "get rid of the deep-seated darkness in [his] heart" - could this refer to closure? As in, if Iris comes forth to Phoenix Wright with her secret, and there is some level of reciprocation, would this make Edgeworth's own secret/feelings "pointless" to confess? I wonder.

One last note I'd like to make is that this is the first time we view Edgeworth through the 'protagonist lens', and that a great deal of care was put into having the player truly feel like they are Miles Edgeworth in this moment. His mannerisms, choice of words and thought patterns are decidedly very different than Phoenix's when you are in control of them, as I'm sure most people would agree. Therefore, I feel comfortable proposing that a lot of what he says here isn't filler, and in fact is very deliberately worded.

I think this post also deserves a spot here.

Diehard Narumitsu/Wrightworth shippers are likely already aware of this conversation's existence. However, due to the circumstances necessary to see it, I wasn't able to find any screenshots. I hope this was interesting to read, at least... Thanks for reading!

one of the big concepts I learned in therapy that has been fucking revolutionary for me is the concept that sometimes u can just feel feelings and they don’t have to mean anything.

like, I can just be sad about something for a little while because it feels cathartic and helpful to let myself be sad, and it doesnt have to mean anything or change how I act or treat people.

like sometimes u just need to feel an emotion in order to process and work through things, and sometimes it just feels good to let urself be sad about a silly or little thing. and then once its out its over, uve experienced it and now it is done so u can move on.

and I dont have to derive greater meaning from it or do anything about it. i was just sad for a few hours and now i feel better and that’s all that matters.

I’m curious do you guys buy physical books (new or used), get them out of the library (physical or digital), or buy e versions?

Israel has killed more children in Gaza since October than in four years of worldwide conflict
