why is every version of charon chill as shit
fuck brooding and corrupt detectives, this is the only valid one
You know Shinzo Abe, the former prime minister of Japan who was shot dead on Friday??
Turns out the shooter did it because Abe had ties to a religious movement that bankrupted and ruined his family, because his mother was a follower who donated copious amounts of cash to the church
AND THE CHURCH?? IT WAS THE UNIFICATION CHURCH!! the church I was raised in, forced to attend until the day I moved out. I spent my whole youth despising the church and just longing for the day I was independent enough to cut ties with them forever. It was dreadful.
I’m so shocked, Jesus fucking Christ. Media outlets are still being somewhat quiet on the issue, and aren’t naming the Moonie movement quite yet - but if you read all the testimony it all points to being them
YES YES YES YES YE S YES YES THIS IS SUCH A GOOD AU
Adventure time but instead of Simon being obsessed with marrying princesses because he used to call Betty "princess" as a pet name, Simon instead becomes an over protective father figure because he and Betty were talking about having children before Simon went mad, so Simon as the Ice King tries to adopt every parentless minor he sees, or any minor with bad parents

nintendo is taking down the 3ds and wii u eshops next year

(that they’ve, fun fact, taken down from their site now :])
i don’t know if i’ve said this before but Phoenix is so insanely strong. He could fully carry Maya, Pearls, and Trucy all at once.
How is he so strong, you ask? Maya would just. Jump on him for no reason and he learned to catch her. Same with Pearls. Maya and Pearls have fallen asleep on the bus and he had to carry both of them into the apartment on his own. Maya on his back, Pearls in his arms. And he was able to not wake both of them up in the process
Miles doesn’t believe him when he mentions it. Or maybe he makes some off-handed comment about his strength because he isn’t outwardly buff. Phoenix just.. picks him up and Miles does not know how to feel
i want this on ao3 so bad bro
In the Edgeoworth-Wright roleswap au, I wonder what Phoenix’s dynamic would be if Franziska became his sister. I feel like Miles gave Franziska a childhood in their “gifted child environment” and Phoenix would’ve done the same.
I noticed in the Ace Attorney games that Phoenix functions for someone: Miles, Dollie, Miles again, Maya, Ema, Pearls, Trucy. Grieving for the death of his only parent and being whisked away to an unfamiliar place, child Phoenix might set it aside to reach out for the bossy younger girl who is too proud to admit she is lonely.
Phoenix learned early that one way to disarm Franziska when she would be angry was humor. Lightening up the situation when the pressure for perfection becomes too much becomes his early turnabouts.
Since he never had a sister before and Franziska reminds him of royalty, he would gently tease her by calling her “princess”
The gist of it as children would be:
Franziska: Ugh. What is that tone, little brother?
Phoenix: Uh, affection?
Franziska: Disgusting. Continue.
Just as Manfred tried to drive a wedge between Miles and Franziska by making them compete with each other and partly failing because they both share the burden of his abuse, the same thing would be done for Phoenix and Franziska.
Franziska would be stressed at how harder their home environment would be to Phoenix as his own person and feeling responsible as the “older sister”. Phoenix not wanting her to feel responsible for him and trying harder after.
Franziska being furious that Phoenix was “not taking her seriously” whenever Phoenix would be half-hearted in the competitions Manfred would set for them against each other.
Franziska wanting to help Phoenix improve as a von Karma but not having the tools to do so when she only knew “tough love” and thus driving a wedge between them.
The distance between them growing as Phoenix grows up putting on a front just to survive the household. He still calls her princess every time she calls him little brother.
Franziska developing a better bullshit detector due to Phoenix becoming the master of misdirecting demands, questions insults from her father which Phoenix would sometimes used on her when she would demand von Karma perfection from him.
Franziska knowing Phoenix is drained when he is no longer cracking smartass comments. (Franziska would also have more dry humor than in canon, courtesy of Phoenix rubbing off on her.)
Franziska getting mad at Phoenix’s recklessness every time she would hear of him during his work with the Interpol agents. “If I hear another call from a hospital, I would maim you myself, Phoenix “Wright” von Karma!”
Someone asking Franziska “Why is your brother still alive?” and her answering, “Nor heaven nor hell wants him.” And she prefers it that way.
