What If WHAT IF Nice Was Actually Gay Before Becoming A Hero But Because Of All The Perfect Superpower

Phoenix is very Elle Woods coded

Your friends watching something for the first time and getting to that scene VS you, the knower.

"are they lovers?" worse, they're sherlock and watson variants.

So for yesterday's Maya May analysis post, I talked about how in the Japanese version of Ace Attorney, Maya likes miso ramen instead of burgers.

I think burgers is a fun localization! Ramen is considered a kind of "fast food" in Japan, and burgers is fun and casual in a similar way to ramen. Plus, burgers and ramen alike have roots in other cuisines, German and Chinese respectively.

Howeverrrrrr as someone born and raised in Southern California and spent most of her adulthood in Los Angeles, I often enjoy the thought, "What if the food Maya enjoyed in the English localization were tacos?" I made this drawing a while ago but never thought to post it.

The image of Phoenix and Maya having lunch at a taco truck or a mom 'n pop taqueria during an investigation is just too vivid in my head lol

A little detail I appreciate here is Barok, in his letter, specifically saying he’d like to take Albert sightseeing. The thing he explicitly told Albert he could not do.

Like, he remembered how much Albert wanted to look around after not being in London for 10 years. So when “everything was settled”, That’s what he invited Albert to do :]]]

“Used to be a major scale, but the melody went stale / musical cacophony let isny winsy spider free / you’re a rich little boy who’s had to work for his toys / you’ve got all the sensibilities, oh, of an upper class guy”

Marina songs just FIT HIM SO WELL. I’ve wanted to draw this for a while now and I finally got the chance to

I just think. I just think. There was more to Klavier taking essentially a huge break off Law even though he won his first case, solely because his band got super famous. I think he had his doubts that Phoenix actually forged evidence. But he never said anything because after all, he trusted his brother and Phoenix submitted that piece of evidence in the first place. But he has to have seen Phoenix’s face when it happened and his fall afterward and felt something was off, because Klavier is a people person!!

So I feel like he just used his band getting big and going on tour subsequently as a way to kind of just. Distract himself from it. To not feel guilty

Anyway here’s some variations

imagine finding out your blorbo from your favourite piece of media fucked your dad. this is a reality for susato mikotoba

this is one of my favorite ace attorney character sprites of all time tbh

turnabout sisters is so insane in hindsight. you are miles edgeworth. mia fey, the first defense attorney you ever went against, has been murdered and you are prosecuting her little sister for the crime. not only are you intrinsically tied to her because of the circumstances surrounding your father’s death but you both watched a man kill himself your first time in court. you think this case could not be more emotionally charged. then you walk into court the day of the trial and who do you see on the defense? your fucking childhood best friend who you haven’t seen in 15 years.
