#and he was probably a lawyer

[caffeine-high]

i have two different reports to start and finish in two days and about five exams to study for, but i just finished rewatching a full minecraft SMP probs gonna go for another rewach with a different POV tomorrow and am looking through burial records for people in suffolk who died sometime between 1553 and 1600 looking for a lawyer who practiced magic

no i am not ok thanks for asking

#caffeines cackles #anyone from the suffolk region willing to help us out please hit me up! #we want to have a seance with the guy who's magic book we've been transcribing #and he was probably a lawyer #he probably wrote his manuscript in 1553 (or at least acquired the paper for it then) #and he probably lived either in the suffolk or the norwich regions of england #we forgot which one... #the one where they (used to?) say windownes instead of windows #student life #magic #help welcome #caffeines classes

Ok ok so hear me out Twins au. Danny and Damian are twins. And you know the whole story. Danny gets "killed " moves in with the Fenton's and becomes phantom. Ad Damian doesn't know that. Well the magician summoning Damian's dead brother to enact his revenge on him has a very bad timing

"Oh robin. Dont you know the dead can have fangs. I've heard of a little tale. Of how you killed your own brother. Your twin in a quite a cruel and merciless way don't you think?" The magician drawls on over the horribly over used repetitive lines.

But it still stops Damian in his tracks. He can see as his family stop and look at him. With the look of horror and well concern. And he hates it. He can feel their gazes on him and it burns his skin.

He stops and tries to yell at them. To do something. To stop dawdling around.

Until a right flash of green stopped him. The circle lit up as a clawed hand grasped the edge from inside.

Unfortunately the magician wasn't a phony.

The being slowly crawls itself out. It's wearing striped prison clothes with conically oversized shackles? Huh.

Damian muses to himself as he prepares for battle . Must represent his or rather their lives in the league of assassin's.

The being finally looks up and shouts

"HAHA YOU CAN SUC MY DIC WALKER. I MAY BE OUT NOT ON MY OWN VOLITION BUT IM GONNA DO GHOST CRIMES AGAIN . And there's nothing you can do about it. "

"Ghost crimes exist? What even are ghost crimes???" Dick whispered to Jason

"I don't know but I am so angry at the implications of ghost cops. " Jason replies

#dp x dc #danny fenton #danny phantom #danny phantom au #is this done yet? #dc x dp #dcxdp #i guess nobody expects for a ghost to be caged for ghost crimes sentenced to in ghost court with their own ghost lawyers and stuff #Damian's first thought was probably is this fool really my brother? #wait no no no #Damian's first thought was huh i guess that fool will be the one to get sentenced to a crime in the afterlife #and hos second thought aas probably and he got CAUGHT by the ghost police. what was all of those years of training fr??!??! #i need to slep #so goodnight my friends and bogos #wait #damian and danny are twins #forgot this one

AA localization is something that in most cases enriches characterization, but sometimes the context on the original Japanese script gives something really intriguing as well

We all know Manfred von Karma is a perfectionist, and in almost every his line we are reminded of it. He even set his ATM card number to 0001. So an ummovable object in terms of superiority complex

I like the Japanese version of this moment as well if not more, though. There, Manfred's card number is 4649 which by the rules of Japanese wordplay means yoroshiku or "nice to meet you". He also points that this is not an actual date (thanks). It makes him look like a lot more whimsical guy who just isn't 100% of time serious, which I'd personally take over the "hee hee I'm number 1" thing (because let's be real, it's not that funny and falls a bit flat)

It's a really minor detail, but where else people are gonna pick up some bits about Manfred's personality aside from being a perfectionist asshole? Even for a cartoonish villain MVK is often positioned as it's really interesting to peek into other sides of his personality

#i also remember seeing a japanese lawyer playing aa and gushing that mvk probably wanted to finish the trial in 3 minutes #because he wanted to play with his grandchildren #which adda oddly wholesome tones #all in all its interesting to step aside from usual fanon interpretations once in a while dontcha think #ace attorney #manfred von karma #meta

since heartslabyul has a courtroom, i wonder if any of the students ever have danganronpa-style debates in there. stealing riddle's tart is tantamount to homicide (pre-overblot), so now it's the most convoluted debate ever just to prove your guilt/innocence. T_T

#meraki mumbles #'your honor i plead nuh-uh' - ace probably #love me not sequel where heartslabyul puts riddle on trial after they find out what he's done to you #ace and deuce walk in as your lawyers and immediately reader knows she's doomed (or saved... who can tell with adeuce?) #my silly (delusional) thought is that riddle would be a danganronpa fan but only because the concept fascinates him #idia shows him danganronpa and riddle spends an abnormally long time trying to figure out the logistics of every case #never forgetting a twst fanart i saw with monokuma crewel..... orz

higuruma being able to finally look yuji in the eye before death after not being able to since their first fight..... I'm not okay

To me, the biggest difference between comic Wallace and Anime Wallace is that Comic Wallace is like a normal guy who (imo) is very obviously still just a 25 year old making stupid decisions and working in shitty jobs and barely getting by, and he just looks more competent when standing next to massive boy-failure Scott (and because hes sassy and carefree). and Anime Wallace is beloved by the universe, so he just gets an acting job for being Wallace, with 5 stunt doubles (that he bargained for with a lawyer Comic Wallace probably could never afford. Seriously, where did he get that money??? Did he seduce a lawyer???????) and a millionaire husband, and lives in a millionaire mansion where he drinks all day and never has to work again. And like good for him, I guess? Slay.

#scott pilgrim #scott pilgrim vs the world #scott pilgrim takes off #wallace wells #been meaning to make this post for awhile #comic wallace is so normal #and then anime Wallace just gets everything ever imaginable #and im not even hating on this #its funny and like yes queen slay #but it also feels so very unusual- #“get a better lawyer baby” WHERE DID YOU GET THAT LAWYER THO???? #tell me how Envy. popstar Envy Adams got a WORSE lawyer than Wallace who barely pays rent????? #he signed the contract BEFORE he got any actor money so where did that money come from??? #maybe he took a loan out and paid it off with his acting money #thats probably it

Can you explain for my friend why wotc actions after the leak are bad?

This is gonna be a bit lengthy but first I want to establish a timeline. Note the only real info we have is from the Youtuber in question, so it's not unreasonable that some of this is wrong, either intentionally or just because this guy likewise doesn't know all of what happened.

A Youtuber with about 5000 subscribers, oldschoolmtg, ordered booster boxes of March of the Machine.

2. The person he ordered them from mistakenly gave him boxes of March of the Machine: Aftermath.

3. oldschoolmtg cracked the Aftermath packs and posted videos of that online. It does sound like he was aware of difference between MOM and MOM Aftermath before he posted the videos. He said he doesn't believe the person who sold them was aware as that person isn't really into Magic (I personally know a store like this--the owner is really into Warhammer but does Magic stuff too because it pays bills).

4. Wizards says they tried to contact him but couldn't reach him. As far as I know we have no context for how they tried to contact him, how many attempts they made, or how long they waited before hiring the Pinkertons to shake him down.

5. I believe Sunday April 25 in the morning the Pinkertons showed up at this guy's house to recover "stolen" product. They threatened jail time and the Youtuber refers to them as "law men" in his video so I'm not sure if he misunderstands their role or if they misrepresented themselves.

6. After getting the cards, the Pinkerton agents provided a phone number to a person at Wizards for oldschoolmtg to call. He said this person was apologetic and cordial and said they don't believe anything was stolen but they needed the product so they could figure out how this happened to prevent it in the future. oldschoolmtg also says they said they'd send him some product to compensate for the cards the Pinkertons just took from him.

7. oldschoolmtg removed the Youtube videos of him opening the Aftermath packs. They also asked him to ask everyone else to take those vids down, claiming some sort of copyright infringement.

That's all the info I'm aware of, mostly just straight from the person who experienced this.

So why is this wrong?

First, MOM Aftermath is an embargoed product. Which means Wizards ships it out to retailers (be they big box store or LGS or online space or whatever) under a contract that they won't sell it before a certain date and time. oldschoolmtg believes the person he purchased from simply mixed up the two sets because of the similar names. He says he purchased the product and according to his recollection of the phone call, the rep at Wizards likewise didn't think he had stolen it.

That's important because the embargo agreement is between retailers and Wizards. oldschoolmtg had no contractual obligation with regard to the embargoed product. It leads me to believe the Pinkertons were involved because they'd willingly insinuate the product was stolen and oldschoolmtg had committed a crime when in actuality there was no grounds to take any legal action against the man. There was no grounds to get a warrant to search for the product. He had committed no crime. He bought Magic cards from a guy who sells Magic cards. The only actual recourse Wizards would have had if the cards weren't stolen was to pursue the guy who sold them for breaking the embargo.

The only theft that actually occurred was when the Pinkertons raided this guy's home to take cards he purchased.

That's my take given what info we know. The Youtube videos aren't actually relevant in a meaningful way--that's just how Wizards found out.

But it's actually even worse. It would have been shitty to seek out a warrant or just sic lawyers on him. Of course I don't think they had grounds for it, so instead they went extrajudicial instead. That is they took a course of action that didn't involve courts.

For those who don't know, the Pinkertons started in 1850 and operated largely as violent strikebreakers. They're still helping break strikes today. They've been hired by Amazon and Starbucks within the last three years to spy on unionization efforts. Their history is bloody and murderous. No exaggeration. Their response to workers striking and unionizing in the past has been to beat them and shoot them.

I think you can put two and two together here. What does it say for a billion dollar multinational company to send these violent thugs to the private home of a small a guy operating a small Youtube channel?

It's a threat to this guy and anybody else; if you leak our cards we will find where you live and we will come after you. Specific use of the Pinkertons is part of this intentional message. There are other security firms without the history and notoriety. And while any such action would be just as disturbing, I doubt using almost any other agency would have had quite the effect as hiring Pinkertons.

tl;dr Based on what we know it's unlikely this guy did anything actually wrong or unlawful and Wizards sent agents from a firm with a violent and notorious history to his home in an act of intimidation

#caveat I'm not a lawyer #and what it really comes down to is wizards could choose to drown this guy in legal fees if he didn't do what they say and kiss their ass #it'd be a drop in the bucket for hasbro to ruin one private individuals life like that #like even if there were no legal grounds for a civil case #they could still make him hire lawyers to prove that #and make his life hell for probably the next decade if they wanted to do that

some ideas from an au where maglor just keeps living in britain (/himring?)

especially in the earlier eras he had to put a lot more effort into styling/dyeing his hair to cover his ears & the blueness/Elf Sparkle. he also wore glasses for a while to dim the Treelight Eyes (because even as badly faded as he is, it's still really obvious with how old he is).

#silm #silmarillion #maglor #seventh age stuff #<- adjacent au #weirdly modern maglor feels the closest to maglor-maglor? #but he also looks like a lawyer in a tv show for some reason? #like edwardian maglor's outfit is pretty similar structure wise (high collar/waistcoat/long coat) but the hat & hairstyle really affect it? #but modern maglor has roughly the same silhouette with the jacket and definitely the most freedom with the ear and hairstyle #early 1900s maglor has a sort of beard thing to not look too young but it looks weird on him i think #it probably wouldnt look as out of place if his hair was shorter but he needs to cover his ears somehow #honestly merovingian maglor looks pretty maglor-y the hairstyle is just not blue enough #the front curly bits on baroque maglor are very maglor-y despite being even less blue #...huh i guess maglor is just 80% Hair #the rest is just fancy clothes; sad harp; and depression #baroque maglor did turn out really well though #maybe because maglor-maglor already borrows a lot from the baroque composer style outfit wise? like he is for unknown reasons #the only YT-FoA elf with a waistcoat i think #through all of this he has remained mysteriously wealthy #(probably because he knows where all the treasuries are in himring)

everyone watching this sukuna gauntlet so far

#jjk #jujutsu kaisen #jjk spoilers #satoru gojo #hajime kashimo #higuruma hiromi #yuji itadori #imagine someone watching this and seeing it all come down to a lawyer a pink haired kid and this guy with his own theme song #didnt add hakari since he's still fighting uraume #but anyone else is getting added #one mistake i made is most ppl watching probably knows gojo's name but i think it's funnier to call him with an adjective like everyone else

In the name of Lawyers, what's your Ace Attorney knowledge?

I know the first game pretty well, so I'd say 5. However, with the combined knowledge of my Ace Attorney loving friends, I'd raise that to 50.

However, if you are looking for some MDZS x AA crossover content, check out these posts by @lazycranberrydoodles! They're an amazing artist!

#ask #'150 what?' lawyer points. 'How do they scale? What is it's worth?' Yes. #will *I* do more lawyer au? yeah probably #AA and MDZS is a crossover that seems to be a very good well to tap #I have thought a *lot* about a fun lawyer AU. New York city mafia defense lawyer WWX vs Perfect record Prosecutor LWJ #Pheonix wright is on the side of the innocent. I want/need WWX to be occationally backing someone clearly guilty #just as much as he is backing someone innocent. It is in CHARACTER #YES this person did a crime. NO they do not deserve the death sentence. Sometimes they do! WWX can use his mafia connections for that #Okay side not on Lazycranberrydoodles: SERIOUSLY such a fantastic and funny person with GREAT art! #I'm still blown away by how incredible the AA x MDZS sprites are! #Please go give them a follow they are a treat on your dashboard.

yuusaku is so good at solving mysteries because he has the one technique shinichi does not (breaking and entering)

#yuusaku just broke into that one place.. he wasn't invited or anything #he knew he wasn't supposed to be there and wore a disguise #what is WRONG with this man😭😭 #shinichi will disturb crime scenes but not break into someone's house.. #why is the guy who's nearly 40 so relaxed about committing crimes #does yuusaku have a criminal record #he could easily get out of jail as many times as he needs considering his wealth #and pay for good lawyers #but he's a genius so he probably doesn't get caught in the first place(?) #yuusaku kudo #yusaku kudo #kudo yusaku #dcmk #detective conan #detco #shinichi kudo #kudo shinichi

every time i make a post that is kind of specific i get so happy when the target audience finds it. yes, i made this especially for you, the 3 people that have gone insane in the tags

#posts that dont do well in the box office but have smashed it critically #(to me) #the aa mdzs au is probably the best example of this. they do pretty well but are unusually dense with comments in the tags #like if i make a good generic hualian post people will like it #but its things like the minecraft skins or wine mom ju wu or franziska jiang cheng or he/him lesbian hua cheng or carmilla (just in general) #crossovers specific/unpopular headcanons small fandoms etd #that have proportionally many more people screaming in the tags #and its nice :) #not art #like i hope its apparent from the medieval stained glass symbolism fic fanart and the ace attorney lawyers cosplaying vocaloid #that this blog is 110% self indulgent #and i am not seeking consistency and/or a brand #but ​its so nice when my posts hit the ‘dvd screensaver corner’ of a market niche #my followers are trapped in here with me. fortunately my mind works in strange and beautiful ways
