she edge me for miles for all im worth til i rise like a phoenix. wright
I wanted to try making a page
So im having an Ace Attorney and Greek Mythology hyperfixation and that has led me to try and merge the two. Which. Has actually been quite fun as ive been learning what gods/goddeses have been used to represent law in ancient greece. But due to. The sheer mass of mythology at my hands. I find myself battleing to pick for some characters. Lets go over the gods associated with Law
Firstly Themis. A titan. Basically the god of law/the ruler of it. However themis often pertained to divine law, rather than human law.
Dike is the god of justice, aka the very concept of righteous justice and was associated with the justice system. Represented often by the scales and beating up her rival
Astraia is the goddess of the innocent and the pure. Representing hope and often lawful behavior. The law side of her representation comes from her being a protector of true innocence. She was also one of the last people to stick with the humans before leaving. Its says she'll come back and bring hope back to the innocent one. Her and dike are so intertwined mythos wise sone sources say they are the same goddess. But many say they are just closely associated (since they are the virgo and libra constellations, details on which is which are mixed. But its overall just the idea that justice and innoence go hand in hand
Zeus in all technically is the god of righteousness and was talked about in tandem with law alot. But. It was more so divine law. Or more accurately his law.
Poine is the daemon of retribution, retaliation, and punishment for the crime of murder and man slaughter. Said in many cases to be the mother of the furies.
The furies were also used in law pretty frequently but more as a symbol of the justice being actively served. Aka torture. So not really the lawyer lol
Nomos was basically the personification of law. Often an epithet or aspect of zeus. Said to be married to Eusebeia (the spirit of loyality, duty, and familial respect. Sometimes these two are portrayed as the parents of Dike
Nemesis is the goddess of righteous revenge. However, she is used mostly in tales of relationship conflict rather than law. But ethier way, shes said to be similar to dike but is a more aggresive form.
So. My conflict is mainly edgeworths pick (yes remember this post is also about ace attorny). Phoneix im like 70% sure i want as Astraia since hes kinda like. The laywer for the hopeless and innocent despite all odds. So because of that i could make edgeworth dike. To do the whole "omg theyre not so different afterall" thing. And dike is usually painted beating the shit out of her opposite adikea(injustice) imagine i make injustice von karma than i can draw edgeworth beating him with a hammer
But also. Poine is so. On the nose it feels perfect. It feels a bit colder than the dike who is often confused with the protector of innocence. Plus. Art wise. It becomes way easier to give them different looks lol
However. Making dike Phoniex and nemesis edgeworth could be interesting considering nemesis is often considered her more aggressive or cold side since it leans harder into punishing the evil over protecting the innocent.
Gumshoe is hermes. No question. Hermes is called law loving all the time and is the runner boy for zues. Make Damon Gant Zues and BOOM its perfect
Themis being the judge amuses me greatly since themis is more in the domain of inforcinf zueses law. Which again. Damon gant as zues makes that perfect
Much to think about
“Mia Fey, my love….”
I literally get brainrot about these guys
Hey kid you want a job?
Great get online and go to a job board. Indeed, Linkedin whatever. Now you're gonna search for a role that's in your city, fits your qualifications, and doesn't seem like a bad time.
See that easy apply button? Don't hit it they just throw those in the trash. Now you're gonna want to go to the company's website and check their careers page.
Oh? That job doesn't exist anymore. Cool go back to the job board and find another one.
Great you found another job, you're on the company's career page and the job exists!! So you're going to need to make an account on the career page website. They're using Workday, the same site as the last job you applied for? Who cares? You need to make another account for THIS job's workday page.
Now you're going to upload your resume. That'll autopopulate about 15 boxes with everything on your resume, except formatted wrong and with tons of errors. So just go through and painstakingly check the dates on all of that and rewrite everything you already laid out in an aesthetically pleasing format on your resume.
Ok time for the cover letter, explain why this specific job and company are deeply important to you. You love their mission statement and wouldn't even laugh if their ceo was gunned down in the street. You'll really want to reiterate the things you just spent the last 20 minutes filling out on the resume section
(Remember to include language from the job description, people who work in HR are lower than dogs and they need patterns or they get confused.) Write about a page, but hey don't sound too desperate or robotic this is where they judge your character!
Maybe add your portfolio site at the end here, who knows if that helps no one has ever clicked mine haha.
Anywayyy time to hit apply! Congrats! You'll see that confirmation email come in and you should be getting the rejection letter in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately your resume didn't have the right buzzwords and the AI auto rejected you :(
Time to start again and try not to kill yourself!

Hi ace attorney community..
Just came up with a new ace attorney rarepair...what if Phoenix and Edgeworth...kissed 😳
I was reading through old Ace Attorney blog posts on the capcom website and I just have to share some of my favourite facts
All of Jake Marshall's caci have names, including Billy, Bogey and Marilyn
Larry is left-handed
Some alternative names considered for Diego are Joseph Cuppa, Xavier Barstucks and William Havamug
Klavier is not actually German (shocking ik) but he did study in Germany
They had to make Sister Bikini short because they were running out of cartridge memory
They are aware of shipping.. "I tried to paint a picture of the intensely strong bond of friendship that two men can share, but I wonder if that’s what people got out of it? There seems to be those who would suggest that Phoenix and Edgeworth’s ‘intensely strong bond’ is more of an ‘intensely passionate bond’ of sorts…” Make them canon you cowards
Shu Takumi is a hobbyist magician
They created Franziska to be the main prosecutor of AA2 instead of Edgeworth because he's too popular, they wanted to use him more sparingly
The class trial was based on something that actually happening to Shu Takumi (though he had no Edgeworth to save him 💔)

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point
ah... your secret technique... in normal circumstances, such a bullet would have no effect on me, but you certainly knew that, my rival... and so, cleverly, you accelerated it with a gun

Beautifully written with empathy for our beloved characters, this fic is a freakin’ hidden gem. It takes place over the summer of earlier in the 7yr gap and contains the origin story of how Phoenix meets Athena. It has fantastic and smart dialogue written with affectionate humour and savvy. I fell in love a couple of times over the 4 chapters. Highly recommended.

In my eyes, this work is incredibly underrated and deserves so many more kudos and comments and bookmarks. The take on the characters ring so truthfully. Not fluffy. Dark but wholesome. If you like rewarding character growth journeys, not sketched but painted, based on key canon events, this fic is for you.

Miles finds himself in a situation where he needs to wear Phoenix's hoodie and when he puts it on, he finds it smells like Phoenix, and, um, it leads to some smexy, schexy, swexy times. The one with the hoody and corset (I had no idea male corsets were a thing until I read this fic, and uh, thanks fan fiction for bettering my life!). One of the tags says 'Porn with Feelings' but honestly, there is a story arc here, it's wonderfully written and it's lovely.

One of my fav 7 yr gap fics that is on the comforting side of this era. Phoenix and Trucy spend time with Miles in Europe. Filled with gorgeously written locations, memories of closeness but where the timing just wasn't quite right, and tender domestic moments, Miles is pining kinda hard in this one, but that said, read this to feel better. <3

Really nice short fic. When reading you can just picture their location, feel the weather, taste the crumbs, sense texture of the scarves and concrete, and pick up on the tension, love and subtexts/nuances in their relationships. Such flavourful, good writing. I'm a huge fan of kitelines’ writing and encourage you to binge them all. Most are works you can devour in under 30 mins, and all of them are just wonderful. This fic is part the Wright Family Week 2022 series

This is a really sweet canon adjacent au fic where Miles and Phoenix get married in order to adopt Trucy. I LOVE the fact that this author realized that Phoenix's adoption of Trucy in the game was highly improbable in real life, so they did a pile of their own research and took matters in to their own hands. Sensitively written with humour and empathy. Come for the fake marriage of Miles and Phoenix, stay for the Franziska, Maya and kids.

This fic takes a more cynical look at love but oh, the end scene is perfect, and stays with you for a looooong while. I think I've reread it at least 4-5 times. It was one of the fics that motivated me to joining Ao3 as a member, rather than a guest, so I could participate more fully with commenting and Bookmarks. My original book mark said "Still thinking about this weeks later… so brutal but not without hope."

Trucy discovers Phoenix’s diary. I think that in the future, I might make a post about this fic all on its own. It is sensitively and compelling written, and deals with themes of mental health. This fic welcomed me in, then kind of slapped me in the face, but smooched me and hugged me and told me that things were going to be ok, or at least that loving souls will be ok despite the pain.

A beautifully crafted Miles and Trucy relationship-centric story. From the description:
"The phone rings and Miles answers, voice sharp and forbidding, jarred from a rare restful sleep.
“Do you have any idea what time it is, Wright?”
“No,” a soft, contrite, feminine voice says over the line. A young voice.
…and that is how Miles Edgeworth finds out about the disbarment."

This fic just came out in October of last year and it is wonderful. I bookmarked it immediately after the first chapter because of the quality of the writing. It is easily one of the best 7 year gap fics I’ve read. Solid characterization and some nice schexy times. Chapter 2 could be a stand-alone story, it is so solid and beautifully crafted. And BONUS! It's a wonderful case fic too.

₍˄·͈༝·͈˄₎◞♡
are you sure
We all know the fact that Naruhodou (Wright) passed the bar exam to get the opportunity to face Mitsurugi (Edgeworth) in court.
This is all, as it seems at first glance, naive, a little retrospective, selfish, romantic, and so on. However, no matter how clinging to the past Naruhodou may seem, is he really that loyal and forgiving to his old childhood friend?
Nothing like that. Nah. Not a chance.
When Mitsurugi is first mentioned by Detective Itonoko in an office conversation in the Turnabout Sisters (jp. 逆転姉妹), we are given two answer options - first: Of course i don't know him, second: Of course, I know him.
If we choose the first option, the detective will tell us a little backstory about the prodigy prosecutor and express the opinion that it is strange that Naruhodou hasn't heard about him. To which Naruhodou will answer that he simply feigned ignorance and will express his opinion about the prosecutor in an internal monologue.
If we choose the second option, Naruhodou will loudly share his immodest conclusions about Mitsurugi, which will displease the detective.
Even the beginning of the meeting is accompanied by Naruhodou’s thoughts that he must not relax and show weakness, otherwise Mitsurugi will swallow him alive.
From the very beginning, Naruhodou isn't in the mood to play on emotions and press on pity, instead preparing himself for the worst.
He understands that time spent together in childhood is not an argument or a reason to start a conversation.
The entire court hearing is accompanied by Naruhodou's evaluative comments about Mitsurugi - he curses him, out loud questions some of the actions of the prosecutor (updated autopsy report), calls and interrogates inconvenient witnesses for the prosecution (Mitsurugi doesn't want me to question the witness, but I don't care), answers him with the same barbs (Wasn't it you who told me "proof is everything"? Well, I was listening.), denounces the collusion of the prosecution with the witnesses, protests against the postponement of the hearings in order to prevent manipulation of the evidence, in general, by any means, unbalances Mitsurugi.
He is literally: Is there something you don’t like? I don't care.
In the next case - Turnabout Samurai (jp. 逆転のトノサマン), Detective Itonoko is angry at Naruhodou for upsetting the prosecutor, but his response is not remorseful: "Umm... so?"
During the first day of the hearing, Naruhodou literally laughs at the confrontation between the prosecution and his own witness ("Wow, old windbag has left even Mitsurugi speechless. She's good!" or "Mitsurugi found himself a worthy opponent"). He also sincerely doesn't understand why Mitsurugi’s behavior has changed, and he seems out of place, but he doesn't stop creating problems for the prosecution.
He doesn't soften towards him until the Turnabout Goodbyes (jp. 逆転、そしてサヨナラ), in which Mitsurugi becomes his client, and even later, when they begin to build a trusting relationship, Naruhodou does not make concessions for Mitsurugi and does not bend under his pressure.
So, Naruhodou did pass a very difficult exam to gain access to the courtroom, but he essentially created a hopeless situation for Mitsurugi. In the conditions of the court hearing, the prosecutor had no other chance than to listen to the arguments of the defense. Naruhodou may not have addressed Mitsurugi directly at first, saying that his ideology was terrible, but he did, proving with his words and actions right in the halls of the law that this is not how things are done and there is a limit to cruelty. He calmly used the letter of the law and jurisprudence - the language that Mitsurugi respects and lives by.
Defeat your opponent with his own weapon when you think he is wrong.
Naruhodou is a stubborn, purposeful, and quite strict person of character who lives without regrets, takes big risks, and doesn't allow himself to relax in any difficult situation.
He is gorgeous.
P.S. I don’t have some screenshots from the court and from the office because I don’t have the English version of the game, and in the video the author did not check all the options (I don’t blame the author, thank her for screenrecord)

I'm starting the list strong here. Set during the Wright's first visit to Europe, this beautifully written fic is one of my all time favourites. It features strong characterization and dialogue, and a really interesting premise. My only complaint is that it is too short.

"of course there's a future," edgeworth mutters a little frustratedly, turning away perhaps. "or we would not be here doing this." phoenix's heart flickers on."
This is art. This is prose. This is a word-based painting. The choice of not using capitalization in this story provides a feeling of things ephemeral yet existing outside of time. Feeling like something a little different? Please give this one a chance. It's beautiful.

In keeping in the theme of 'something different,' this stories' use of second person narrative puts you intimately within Phoenix’s shoes.

HOO! You know when you come across a fic where people keep smashing their keyboard into gibberish and referencing how they want to lick windows, eat wallpaper etc. etc.? This might be the fic that tempted me into similar behaviour. I keep coming back to this one again and again. And again. There is just something about a cagey Phoenix revealing his strategic mind, or how he and Miles navigate through all the barriers to finally connect... GAH! It just a does something to me. I consider this a Narumitsu classic, written by a Narumitsu master. Yeah, you might of read it before - be kind to yourself and read it again. Highly, highly recommended.
