metginks u liek wrightworth........ idk🤑

what gave it away 😅😅

extremely underrated subgenre of tumblr post: when someone makes a general statement about something, and another person offers a counter-statement that's just completely nonsensical, and the OP just agrees instantly even if it makes no sense at all

examples:

[siren/pirate au] info

I asked one of my (male) friends to stop using the phrase “man up” and he has been using “fortify” for the past two weeks instead and it’s just a little thing but honestly it makes a difference

and tbh it’s also pretty funny when I start to deflate in the library and he leans over and goes “FORTIFY”

One of my favorite things in media is when writers give otherwise stoic, logical characters "silly" interests and hobbies.

Literally, Shu Takumi COOKED when he gave Miles Edgeworth his Steel Samurai hyperfixation.

Real

*tied to a chair,.spitting up blood* heh..... youre gonna need to brush my teeth a little harder than THAT to get information out of me

Phoenix doing some just really goofy seductive mating dances to attract Miles

(Not like in an Avian Way or anything. Just regular Human Phoenix shimmying his shoulders back and forth and raising his eyebrows suggestively to Miles across the room)

(dances getting progressively more obvious and ridiculous while Miles pretends not to notice (and his ears and neck just keep getting more red because he is very embarrassed by his goofiness lol))

the Larry one is so canon 😭

ace attorney in some posts i've collected

(after getting attacked by a one-episode creature) whatever that was, it's gone now...

SITH! OBI-WAN & ANAKIN SKYWALKER | WHAT IF? STAR WARS BY ME. I always liked the idea of Obi-Wan corrupted by the dark side, so i made this. Star Wars really needs a what if show.

sad/stoic/generally emotionally constipated character: *smiles genuinely or laughs surrounded by their best friends*

me:

The sixth sense

"hopefully F's gloves will hide what Cipher has done to my hands"

I've had this idea for a while - the dynamic pre-finale but post-portal-reactivation is brief but super interesting ngl. They hate each other's ass

Blurb re: Apollo from his page in the The Art of Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney artbook

Hair is plant…. 🌱 <- apollo

Guys, guysss, the beginning of Book 8 is so underrated, seriously Flanagan FEDD us in the span of 15 chapters.

we've got Halt being a badass on the west coast kicking outsider ass, we've got cute gathering moments, we've got Will training apprentices and subconsciously acting exactly like Halt in the meantime.

not to mention cute Uncle Crowley moments with Will and the Special Task Group reveal, and the fact that a large part of the reason Will was so excited to move back to Redmont was because Alyss lived there and he'd get to see her more. And Crowley literally calls him outtt for this because Will was smiling so big at the thought of seeing his girlfriend more often.

NOT TO MENTION the small moment where the 5th year apprentices have their graduation ceremony and Will has that moment of regret for missing out on having a "happy proud family" to wish him well at his own graduation, and as quickly as that thought enters his mind, he's casting it aside because "he had Halt. and Halt was enough family for anyone." AHHHHHH

and then Will sings with Berrigan at the gathering, Will plays a bit, and then very respectfully says, "You've also taught me not to overstay my welcome." PLEASE he's so babygirl. So respectful of Berrigan's time.

THEN we get the Will and Alyss reunion and they're so cute he's holding her hand the entire time they're together ahjgksjdb

THEN we get the SQUADDD AT DINNER TOGETHER???

PAULINE, CROWLEY, ALYSS, WILL, ANDDDD HALT??

and you best believe Halt, diva that he is, showed up late, and Will proceeds to knock over his chair in excitement because he's so excited to see his dad he's like a little puppy dear god.

then of course we get them bear-hugging and we get Halt's annual "I love this kid sm" moment

then they sit down to eat lamb and talk shit, and you best believe they talked shit the entire dinner before they discussed business because that actually happened. Halt said no business till I know whats happening with Rodney and Margaret.

THEN WE GET THE BROTHER REVEAL UGH

and this is only like the first 9 chapters yall this book is underrated, i'm telling you

cover commission for @zombolouge 's new fic, indefensible✨

the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore

who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”

at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it

Hello, I am going to analyze your psyche about what your favorite version of Narumitsu/Wrightworth says about you and give you personalized therapy advice (JOKE!! This is a lighthearted fun jest and I don't really think everybody falls in these categories. So we are all going to be polite to eachother ok!!)

Elementary school aged Nick and Miles: If this is your favorite ship, you're really into the nineties/y2k aesthetic and you miss going to blockbuster. Also you are feeling untethered and like the last time things made sense was when you were young. You want to imagine that if you could turn back time and do things differently, you could stay blissful and happy forever. But you have this creeping feeling that no matter what you do, time is going to keep passing and you will lose touch with people and think of things you wish you could've said but never had a chance to and this is just going to be an endless cycle for the rest of forever. Some of that is true, yes. The best you can do is be honest with the people you know now about how much you care about them so that they can hold that with them always, no matter what happens.

pre-AA1/Feenie x Bratworth: If this is your favorite ship you are in college or most likely high school. The idea that you could find someone in school and them end up being your soulmate for life is really tender and special to you (because you are in high school and you would like to be loved Right Now Please because facing the change of adulthood without someone who loves you by your side scares you). You also find it difficult to care about adults and their adult problems (because you are in highschool) and honestly? That's so valid. Enjoy your time not thinking about them bc one day it will be all you think about. I fear that if you put too much pressure on yourself about finding the perfect relationship, you will miss out on the ephemeral joy of being with another person. Please give yourself grace and try to live in the moment.

Ace Attorney main trilogy Phoenix and Edgeworth: if this is your favorite ship, Edgeworth is your favorite character and you are really invested in his character arc and want to see it tied up neatly with him letting someone into his life. You like your stories to end with "And they all lived happily ever after", because you like the thought that things happen for a reason, and that if you care enough and try hard enough you can fix things. You probably like to think this because your own life has difficulties and you want to escape them for a little while. Things really do get better, but there are some things you may never get closure on. I am sorry, I know it's hard and it hurts. I am sending you my love

Seven year gap beanix and umm glasses edgeworth? (what is his nickname?): Ok even though this is one time period this actually falls into two parties. People either like this because of Phoenix being a new father to Trucy OR they like it because of Nick and Kristoph's toxic situationship love triangle, which is so deeply funny bc these groups have totally different vibes. So let's split these up:

Dad Phoenix: Phoenix is your favorite character and you want to see him suffer so that he can be cared for by Edgeworth for once. You also like seeing Phoenix do his best to love and care for Trucy despite the circumstances even though he isn't a perfect dad. It means a lot to you to see someone fail and still be loved and deemed worthy by someone. Did you perhaps experience gifted kid burnout in school and feel like you let everyone around you down? Be kind to yourself and examine how capitalism has shaped our worldview so that a "valuable" member of society is someone who holds a job of a certain caliber and earns a certain amount of money. We cannot all be held to the same standards. Do what you are able to do in your situation. Maybe that is fight for people in court. Maybe that is make music or art. Maybe that is being there for people you love. The world needs all of these things, but every person does not need to do it all.

Situationship Phoenix: Phoenix is your favorite character and you think he is owed a little sexiness after being denied love by everyone else in his life. You also want to punish Edgeworth a little bit, like you definitely have some beef against Edgeworth (understandable, although I love him he is frequently annoying) and making him jealous feels like you're serving justice on Phoenix's behalf. You probably lie awake at night and think about the sick comebacks you wish you had said to people who were jerks to you in the past. This very emotionally driven form of serving justice to these characters means that you too would have gotten your badge taken away if you were an attorney. You should probably examine the way you hold grudges and how you treat people you believe have wronged you.

Apollo justice games era Phoenix and Edgeworth: Ok I haven't played all of apollo justice yet I can't tell if there are different eras within Apollo justice, but probably if you like to imagine Nick and Miles are actively dating/flirting during the events of the first Apollo Justice game, you are living in denial that the events of the 7 year gap happened and you are sticking your fingers in your ear and going LALALALA I can't hear youuuu. You also think dads are kind of hot. You probably dislike running errands alone and prefer to have a buddy go with you. You have a small group of friends that you are really close with and you are secretly terrified of the thought of them leaving you. Pain is inevitable, and you must learn to accept this, but know also that joy is just as inevitable. You are stronger than you think.

Post Apollo Justice Phoenix and Edgeworth: If this is your favorite ship, you want everyone to be able to rest. You want to wrap up all the lawyers and everyone they love in a big blanket and let them all take a cozy nap together. You want all the drama to be done so that they can move in together and raise a child together and propose to each other and plan a wedding and be very sweet and kind to each other. Despite your best efforts, I sense that the expected social norms of a nuclear family structure are influencing your life choices. This is not a bad thing, to want these things! But does hitting these life milestones feel genuinely good, or good because you are achieving a goal and gaining approval from others? Close your eyes and imagine moments where you have felt joy. Make a pact with yourself to try and seek out these things more, regardless of whether they are what society expects of you.

they’re insane i love them

They're so normal.....btw......

Narumitsu Fanfics that YOU may not have heard about! (You won’t believe #5!!)

…joke title aside… I wanted to share a few NaruMitsu fanfictions that are slightly lesser known! I love Legal Partners as much as the next fan, but I thought it would be a great idea to share some new works to put onto your bookmarks bar.

stories with NSFW content are marked with ‘*’

One-Shots

Postscript by CantFaketheFunk and Aria/Raelle (Court Records Forums) A gorgeous, simple slice-of-life story revolving Edgeworth and Wright learning a little bit more about what they mean to each other, all thanks to a double date with Larry… and Iris? Established Narumitsu, past Iris/Phoenix is an important plotpoint, and not-really Larry/Iris. Characterisation is well-done.

Your Secret Admirer by snorkellingfish (FFnet) Very cute, short letterfic in which Edgeworth writes love letters to Wright.

The Correct Way by VIII of XIII (FFnet) * (mostly just suggestive content but marking just in case) Humour fic in which Wright rejects Edgeworth. He demands to know why, and the answer isn’t what he was expecting.

Where The Heart Is by hanae0711 (LJ) With an introspective, calmly-paced writing style, the writer captures a family dynamic between Wright, Trucy, and Edgeworth. 

That Other Kind of Dance by Ellcrys (FFnet) Also known as “pantswarrior” on AO3, this user has written well-known Narumitsu pieces such as Surviving You and Trucy’s Daddy. Not everything is written by this person is on AO3, and some may not be aware of the existence of their other pieces. 

Good Company by Northernflicker (AO3) If you’re in need of a sad, bittersweet fanfic, here’s a short NaruMitsu AU that’ll satisfy. In a modern setting, Edgeworth copes with regret over the things he should have said.

Change by kiyala (AO3) Iris struggles to accept that things change, and Edgeworth needs to realise that things don’t have to.

Night Lights by Anon2015 (AO3) Wright thought things were just fine as is, until he bore witness to another world where things were better than fine.

Sorry Doesn’t Cut It (When You Don’t Need To Say It) by GahoolianGirl (AO3) Canon divergent Trucy and Wright fic, plotpoint Narumitsu. Wright feels remorse over the things he couldn’t have given to his daughter. She thinks he gave enough.

The Stars Above by Tarma_Hartley (AO3) Good old Regency-era!NaruMitsu. 

Simple by VickyVicarious (AO3) A simple fic that shows how even though certain things are complicated for Wright and Edgeworth, one thing certainly isn’t.

I, In the Art of the Compromise by Quitebrilliantindeed (AO3) Franziska-centric. Who knew how much buried emotions could surface upon hearing the news of Wright and Edgeworth’s engagement?

The Answer is Just Like Heaven by Lyrical Rawr (FFnet) In which Larry drags Edgeworth to a bar, and he’s just a little slow to catch on the exact nature of the relationship his two childhood friends have.

the words unspoken, we’ll be there soon by jonphaedrus (AO3) Mountaineering canon-deviation. Wright and Edgeworth meet again, not as attorneys, but as mountain climbers, braving the elements.

Freefall by estelraca (AO3) Being together with Wright is wonderful. Now, if only Edgeworth could share this fact without feeling fearful.

Keeping in Character by fuzzybees (AO3) Edgeworth and Trucy share a phone call.

Thoughts about the ‘Demon Prosecutor’ & ‘That Man’ by nerdowl (AO3) Poem fic that develops alongside Wright and Edgeworth’s thoughts about each other.

Periphrasis by EvilEkat (AO3) Four birds that Edgeworth comes to associate with Wright, aside from the obvious one.

The Way to a Man’s Heart by SlowQuotesQuill (AO3) The universally best ingredient is…

Lux by organicgold (AO3) The use of diction and a motif of light in this story brings a comfortable realisation of feelings.

The Turning of the Tides by altairattorney (AO3) Introspective writing in Edgeworth’s point of view. Conveys very heavy emotion and resolution.

and down came the rain by The Soup (FFnet) Ambiguous timeline. Wright and Edgeworth slowly come to realise what has been there all along.

Incomplete or Ongoing

Call Me by Erstaz Writer (FFnet) - incomplete Anything by this writer is amazing. I selected this one particularly because of this author’s very insightful portrayal of Edgeworth’s character. The plot is as vanilla fanfic as you can get: main characters get drunk, share a drunken kiss and awkward conversations, both of them remember the next day but never talk about it; rather, it is the characters that truly give this story life.

My Oath, My Vendetta, My Vow by Cupcakitee (AO3) - ongoing In an alternate universe, the ghost of Gregory Edgeworth follows his son, unable to do anything about his transformation into the “Demon Prosecutor,” until Maya reveals his presence thanks to her spiritual powers. Slow-burn NaruMitsu in the background.

Struggling Against Gravity by musouka and Aria/Raelle (AO3) - ongoing A favourite with those who remember the Objection! Archive. To those who have not been in the fandom that long ago, this work is a story that explores the relationships Wright has with the important people in his life: Edgeworth and Maya. He learns more about himself and others in the wake of accompanying his prosecutor friend to dinner one night.

1001 Times by Pomelofangirl (AO3) - ongoing Written in a very unique style, and organised in even more so. This AU involves time traveling Wright and mistakes. It also has an immortal entity Edgeworth and fixing them.

Apollo of Notre Dame by Farris (AO3) - ongoing The Hunchback of Notre Dame AU, with a few twists! If you’re looking for an AU to follow until it’s complete, let Farris be your guide. (Don’t let the Apollo/Phoenix tag bother you, as per the original story, the endgame should be Miles/Phoenix.)

Our Thoughts Were Wicked by Design by VivaRocksteady (AO3) - ongoing The writing style of this work pairs very fittingly with the AU that takes place in an Ancient Rome setting. It’s a loose retelling of the trilogy series.

The Ghost of Edgeworth Manor by FyreBird_risefromtheashes (AO3) - incomplete A manor, a family of six, and a ghost who haunts the manor. This family quickly figures out that the one most haunted by the past is the ghost himself.

Wright and Prejudice by lalabnf (AO3) - ongoing? Pride and Prejudice AU. Wright is a barrister who just wants a case, but when company arrives from Germany, they bring along an old friend.

Correspondence by ingthing (AO3) - incomplete Victorian AU. A soldier and a law student meet at a party.

Completed

One of Every Color by Croik (FFnet) - 85k * I recommend all of this user’s Ace Attorney fanfics, but this one stands out as The NaruMitsu fic they’ve written. A casefic in which Wright must come to terms with a difficult client and his growing feelings for Edgeworth.

And Baby Makes Six by withpractice_ff (AO3) - 21k * Set in a time where the true identity of Apollo and Trucy is revealed, Wright lives with Thalassa and her children. One frustrating night, he ends up sleeping with Thalassa and gets her pregnant despite being in a relationship with Edgeworth. Everybody must now figure out how to deal with this complicated situation.

King of Hearts by Pearls1975 (AO3) - 6k Mildly canon-divergent. Edgeworth and Wright had gotten engaged at some point, but the incident leading to the seven-year gap leaves them separated. This doesn’t change the fact that they remain dear to each other’s hearts.

Locked Hearts and Hidden Voices by flybykeylimepie (AO3) - 11k This writer pulls off the second-person narrative well in this piece. While staying in Germany with Edgeworth, Wright meets a girl named Athena Cykes, who is able to look into his heart. Using her psychological abilities as a medium, this story gives an insightful perspective into Wright’s mind while he was disbarred.

Birthday Family Dinner by InvaderHam (AO3) - 7k Celebrating a birthday is best done with loved ones, and there is nothing short of beloved friends and family with Wright and Edgeworth.

Congratulations by (orphan_account) (AO3) - 4k Hurt/comfort fic. Edgeworth experiences just a fraction of what Kristoph is capable of.

Cold Harbor by Tarma_Hartley (AO3) - 4k A touching Civil War Narumitsu AU. Need I say any more? …actually yeah, have some comics of this story too.

Looming Truths by AsunderWolf (AO3) - 356k * The sheer size of this piece might scare some readers, but if you’re into long stories, it’s a must-read. Weaving in more in-depth character motives, incredible backstories, and an underlying plot that explores darker themes than Capcom allows, this story attempts to fill in the gaps of the unexplored details we were left puzzled over in canon. Every character is thoughtfully portrayed, leaving no doubt in this writer’s characterisation. There is so much in here, so just give it a go.

Phoenix’s Inferno by prospectkiss (AO3) - 9k Inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, the end result is an epic-style poem that has a very creative use of the Seven Deadly Sins and Heavenly Virtues. Did I mention there is a classic Wright-way turnabout?

The Glass of Paradise by gogollescent (AO3) 18k Great dialogue, great use of diction and syntax, and Wright’s inner-voice is spot on. Though this is predominantly a character study, it has all the elements that make up a narrative.

Honourable Mentions (not NaruMitsu, but highly recommended) 

The Realm by Farris (AO3) - ongoing Very creative use of a psychological/spiritual setting in order to share a narrative of characters confronting their internal conflicts. There are mentions of one-sided Iris/Phoenix on Iris’ part, but also includes some very subtle Edgeworth/Wright scenes.

Follow the Fool by CantFaketheFunk (FFnet) - complete A lovely FranDrian fanfiction that takes place after 2-4/Engarde case. Explores the dynamic both of these characters have with each other in order to overcome their past shadows.

Allowances by Lerayl (FFnet) Wright and Franziska wait for Edgeworth to return overseas in the airport. Ambiguous/implied NaruMitsu.

I love inventing terrible in universe fandom drama.

Gavintwt fell into a couple months of terrible discourse about Klavier’s sexuality. people argue about whether he's gay or just queerbaiting and then people argue about how this is invasive actually and real people can't queerbait and Klavier is just openly queer the whole time with a song literally titled "my boyfriend is the prosecution's witness". blissfully unaware.

There's a trend of Gavinner stans committing crimes or messing with crime scenes just to be prosecuted/called as a witness by Klavier. he has to put out a formal statement imploring his fans to pursue other methods of getting his attention:

just. please. stop. please.

A few years after the disbarment someone digs up an old viral post that's like

📖 tilthat February 15, 2018 TIL that during a case in 2016, a defense attorney cross-examined a parrot during the final day of court. The defense won the case. 🐢 tortise-law February 15, 2018 Sit your ass the hell down this motherfucker's name is fucking Phoenix Wright and you don't understand how fucking batshit that case is. He was defending prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, who he had previously DESTROYED THE PERFECT RECORD OF. And it STARTS with Wright proving a witness didn't actually see the murder because they were searching for the goddamned Loch Ness Monster. And not only that, the case ends with him ACCUSING THE OTHER PROSECUTOR, MANFRED VON KARMA, OF ORCHESTRATING THE WHOLE MURDER AND KILLING EDGEWORTH'S FATHER. AND HE WAS RIGHT???? LIKE???? 🎩 gay-ramarye February 16, 2018 holy shit reading this guy's wiki page is a fucking trip. not only does he have a perfect win record, that defendant immediately followed this up with FAKING HIS OWN DEATH??? spacejamminninja-deactivated2018 February 16, 2018 How is this not a tv show already. What the hell do you mean he faked his death 🪶 is-the-hawk-video-cute February 17, 2018 tbh if my defense attorney cross examined a parrot and accused the opposing counsel i'd fake my death too 🌸 pinkprincess February 18, 2018 japanifornia cases are just Like That i have never heard of a normal one.

and gavinblr suddenly realizes that that was the dude Klavier got DISBARRED a couple years ago. viral sensation parrot cross-examiner Phoenix Wright. the fandom goes crazy for a few days but then Klavier does a new photoshoot and they all move on.

A post joking about shipping Klavier’s brother with the guy Klavier got disbarred becomes a huge meme in gavinblr and a subsection begins writing ironic Krisnix RPF that progressively becomes genuine and then turnabout trump happens and the fandom explodes again. Half the Krisnix shippers jump ship to Klapollo because they felt weird about shipping a murderer (and did you SEE the Kitaki case? Klavier was sooo flirting with the defense <3). The other half doubled down and reveled in the angst potential. Part of the Klapollo shippers started truthing. They study court transcripts to prove that Klavier and Apollo are in love if not already dating. Unfortunately they’re right.

Since the series focuses so closely on Will and Halt, canonically the two best rangers Araluen has to offer, I think it gets easy to assume every ranger’s skills are close to superhuman. But they’re not.

I for one am very curious as to what the bare minimum ranger looks like. Where are they. What are they doing. What do they fall for. I want there to be a shitty 90s sit com about that guy.
