The Hero Of Ferelden And… That One Guy

love them dearly <3

tomas route would be so much better if the heroine pretended to not gaf

talking to my friend rn just PICTURE IT... her still enlisting ikki's help, and them pretending to date to make toma jealous... ikki being like toma should be more honest with himself! he's practically shaking with jealousy! and the heroine not quite believing it or at least, wanting to hear it from toma's mouth...

the fanclub could even be in on it since the heroine quickly forgives rika and starts to become friends with her (LXC). they wouldn't believe her at first, but game recognizes game. rika of all people is freaked out by diamond world mc's indifference. that says it all

TOMA: This fanclub thing is getting intense, haha... How 'bout you stay at my place for a bit? Just for a bit? MC: ummm... I dunno... I think I'll ask Ikki. Maybe I should stay with him instead? TOMA: NO! I mean, uh, haven't you just started dating? He's a total player! I have to take care of you know! Come on, just stay over until this blows over! Like when we were kids! MC: ^_^ (mentally pumping her fist in the air) Oh... well... If you say so, Toma! Let's go! Right now!! LATER: Orion's like you got a text! It's from Ikki! responding to the debrief you texted him when Toma was out of sight, and it's just in capital letters "ALL THAT AND HE STILL HASN'T CONFESSED?"

also.

i'll never forgive them for not following up on this offer in LXC because i was having such an "i'm over it" reaction every time toma went all woe is me mode, so sorry for putting you in a dog cage and not letting you leave the house aka leave me, and the mc was like it's not a big deal! GIRL IT IS A BIG DEAL LET HIM GROVEL FOR YOUR AFFECTION IF NOT GENERAL AMUSEMENT

it's fine that the MC is a freak. especially for toma like it truly makes it better. but MAKE HER MATCH HIS FREAK... i'm not even trashing the yandere stereotype right now. if you have a man that is willing to do ANYTHING. ANYTHINGGGG to keep the heroine in his sight, to not break up with her... well. let's just say he should be on his knees at least once. the heroine would be right to make him kneel okay... the yandere trope goes both ways...

i love how if you knew fuck all about star trek you’d assume spock clears in chess but kirk could kick his ass in a fight when it is Emphatically the other way around

strength, literally

Don’t get me wrong, I love the sunshine/grumpy dichotomy of Wrightworth but Phoenix has shown on multiple occasions that most of the time he is ““The Straight Man””.

He’s a wet blanket and routinely gives snide comments on all the weirdos he has to hang out with in the investigation segments. The only time his silly weirdo side comes out is when he’s in court with Edgeworth and that’s because it’s a kangaroo court where he’s fighting for his life the whole time.

In Phoenix’s world Edgeworth is not only infinitely more competent than he is, he’s also the only other normal person. At least in the trilogy that is.The first time I played turnabout big-top I thought I missed a game, or a character interaction or someone else wrote the game because he was such… an asshole? To maya to everybody. He was so 100% no nonsense it freaked me out. But then it was revealed that Edgeworth “died” and that really struck a cord with me.Phoenix’s factory settings are all “Im a mature straight laced lawyer” until he’s around Edgeworth.

Whenever there’s a “sweaty Phoenix.png” in a case against someone else other than edgeworth,it’s because he’s incredulously tolerating the other person’s nonsense.Whereas whenever it’s with Edgeworth it’s given the connotation that he feels he’s less competent.Sort of in silent reverence that he thought that he could get one over Edgeworth.I really love this aspect of Phoenix and I feel it gives his character a ton of nuance besides just being sunshiny or just being prudish. I wish I were better at writing i would totally “wright” him more than with this aspect of his personality specifically.

Bonus points if you factor in that while he was with dahlia he was lovestuck and silly and how that means that this is not only consistent with the type of guy he is when he’s in a relationship but how that could mean he sees himself in edgeworth’s and that’s why he likes him.

never escaping them

haven’t kirked in a while
