They Have The Same Laugh 😭

somewhere apollo just shuddered in horror and he doesn't know it but it's because the spectre of a timeline where klavier gavin got a podcast just passed over him

(ID 1: A two-panel comic with cartoon characters colored in white on a lilac background, featuring Maya Fey and Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney.

Panel 1- Phoenix, shown from the chest up looking tired and scrambled/fearful, says, “I could get killed.” Maya, next to him, says “Oh no!” She looks concerned.

Panel 2- Phoenix, now stroking his chin with an expression of concerned irritation, says, “Or even worse, Edgeworth could give me a lecture on responsibility again.” From off-panel, Maya says “Nick pls.” End ID)

(ID 2: A one-panel comic with cartoon characters colored in white on a hot pink background, featuring Phoenix and Edgeworth from Ace Attorney. They are shown from the waist up. Edgeworth has grabbed Phoenix by the lapels and is glowering at him, saying a screenshot of tumblr user wizard-email’s text post that reads “god that’s pathetic. do you want to kiss ?” Phoenix looks confused and is sweating nervously but smiling, his hands raised placatingly at his shoulders. A swooping dark-pink heart is drawn across the background behind them. End ID)

The Investigations 4 in Badger onesies because I can

I've come to the realization people never really talk about how defense attorneys are usually the doe eyes to the prosecution's siren eyes and I think its a nice little detail (look at tags y'all)

Imagine being Gaspen Payne.

You've got a high-profile court case about a courtroom bombing. On top of that, it's a slam dunk - solid evidence and an expert witness.

And then - what's this? Opposing counsel is the guy who humiliated your older brother three different times? Perfect, even better. You'll whip his ass and then maybe Winston will speak to you again.

Only.. the case goes poorly. Not only that, it ends with the true culprit threatening to set off another bomb. You run out of the courtroom, which, under the circumstances, is a pretty smart thing to do. But while you're evacuating, that punk-ass defense attorney gets your expert witness found guilty.

Afterwards, your courtroom manner and potential corruption get you drummed out of the public prosecutors' office in the aftermath of the end of the dark age of the law. In your shame, you flee the country, probably leaving behind a note that says something like "prosecutor Gaspen Payne chooses death", or maybe "come and get me, loser! Spankety spankety spankety."

After some time wandering listlessly around Asia, finding your family roots in Japan, trying a topknot toupee and realizing it doesn't work on you, you find your way into a tiny mountainous country. Religious, spiritual. That's fine. You can fake that stuff as necessary.

Then you find out that they've de facto banned defense attorneys. And they have a position open for chief prosecutor, a position you'd given up all hope of getting anywhere near.

It's the cushiest job you've ever had. All you need to do is stand there in your stupid gold suit and sparkle while the princess does some seance bullshit. No effort on your part, but even so your name gets attached to the win.

Then - one day - a *treason* case. Perfect. It'll be easy. You have unimpeachable evidence and a spotless witness.

The judge is about to hand down the verdict, thereby etching your name into the history books as the one who brought a traitor against the crown to justice. You'll finally have it all - fame, reputation, a crown, heck, maybe *this* is what'll get your brother to talk to you again.

The courtroom doors open.

You hear a familiar "Objection!".

God damnit.

God fucking dammit.

No wonder Winston never beat this guy - he's the cockroach of attorneys. How the fuck is he even here?

And - what? *He doesn't even remember you???*

GOD

DAMMIT
