im in trials and tribulations, this is what the game its about, (w)right?

#that's it. that's the entire franchise #when the overly-emotional man won't stop adopting all these freakin children so you have to swoop in and also be a parent #Phoenix Wright 🤝 Hershel Layton = Will not stop adopting children #people wonder why Phoenix is constantly surrounded by teenage girls. simple. it's because Phoenix radiates mom energy #Phoenix somehow fails at being a dad and at the same time is the absolute most perfect dad in the world as we've seen with Trucy #I bet Edgeworth barely sighed when he heard about the burning bridge and Trucy and Apollo and literally everything. It's just Dad Phoenix #ace attorney #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #maya fey #pearl fey #trucy wright #apollo justice #athena cykes #ema skye #kay faraday

Considering how thirsty AA fans are over Kristoph (me included, unfortunately,) I am AMAZED I didn't hear about this part until I played the game.

Like it's PERFECT out of context, how did we not-

#ace attorney #apollo justice: ace attorney #ace attorney spoilers #aa4 spoilers #aa4 #kristoph gavin #apollo justice #and yes I DO apparently have a thing for the overconfident mentally unstable men who kill people why do you ask #it's always the villains isn't it. ...it's always the villains #Me: I don’t have a type- *sees utter psychopaths in animation* Oh no #But again I saw so many quotes online from Kristoph and they were all the same ones #HOW DID THE THIRSTY FANDOM OR THE YAOI FANDOM MISS THIS LINE I DON'T UNDERSTAND #psychadelic #tw: eyestrain #cw: eyestrain #just in case

How Do Court Reporters Keep Straight Faces? These are from a book called Disorder in the Courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges were taking place. ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning? WITNESS: He said, ‘Where am I, Cathy?’ ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you? WITNESS: My name is Susan! _______________________________ ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact? WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active? WITNESS: No, I just lie there. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: What is your date of birth? WITNESS: July 18th. ATTORNEY: What year? WITNESS: Every year. _____________________________________ ATTORNEY: How old is your son, the one living with you? WITNESS: Thirty-eight or thirty-five, I can’t remember which. ATTORNEY: How long has he lived with you? WITNESS: Forty-five years. _________________________________ ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory? WITNESS: I forget.. ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot? ___________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn’t know about it until the next morning? WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam? ____________________________________ ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he? WITNESS: He’s 20, much like your IQ. ___________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken? WITNESS: Are you shitting me? _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time? WITNESS: Getting laid ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: She had three children , right? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: How many were boys? WITNESS: None. ATTORNEY: Were there any girls? WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney? ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated? WITNESS: By death.. ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated? WITNESS: Take a guess. ___________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual? WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female? WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I’m going with male. _____________________________________ ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work. ______________________________________ ATTORNEY: Doctor , how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people? WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight. _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to? WITNESS: Oral… _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body? WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 PM ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time? WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample? WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question? ______________________________________ And last: ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No.. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor? WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

#ever since I saw this post years ago (on Pinterest) I have wondered about what actually goes through people's heads in the courtroom #I got my own list from my three straight months of jury duty. I'll have to post it sometime #I just look for this post anytime I need to laugh hysterically #funny #tumblr heritage

Ok! So if they are brothers and Aladdin does want his brother in his life how do you think he’ll try to redeem Mozenrath?

I honestly have no idea how Aladdin would go about trying to redeem Mozenrath if they were family, since he did the same with his father and it ended only-kinda successfully. Aladdin became a priority for his father, but his father's life (and desire) for crime meant that he couldn't stay.

I personally would love to introduce Cassim's face to a shovel someday, but that's for another post.

Since Aladdin is very much the more direct type, I imagine that he would try to outright confront Mozenrath on the sorcerer's past and wrongdoings while also trying to imply that they can work through all of that. It would probably end with Al getting captured again or returning to Agrabah with scorched clothes and bruised knuckles. The only way Mozenrath wants to see him is beaten or dead.

Al could maybe try to (LEGALLY) get on Mozenrath's good side by sending him letters and gifts that hopefully wouldn't come back to bite him in the ass, since it's difficult picking out gifts for the guy who uses everything in his power to try and kill you. I doubt Aladdin sharing any of his emotions would even get him far since Mozenrath would probably mock him for it or be insulted that he even tried. There would be a mess of torn scrolls, shattered objects, and probably blood.

I think the only way Aladdin could realistically get Mozenrath to act any kinder to him or anyone else is to wear him down over time, though how long that would take and whether it would actually work or not is anyone's guess. Maybe Al could inch his way through the sorcerer's good graces by just treating him as anyone else or feeding his ego by treating him with respect as a superior. It would naturally culminate in some big event where Mozenrath gets attacked by a third party and Al gets to protect or rescue him. ...The less proud Aladdin acts about it, the better.

Mozenrath and Aladdin's personalities and priorities clash even without them being on separate sides, so I don't know if Moze would ever fully warm up to the former-street rat. Still, if Aladdin showed respect and maybe occasional sympathy to Mozenrath while trying to help him, then I imagine Moze could grow less destructive over time.

Just... give him some time.

I will be 70 years old and I still will never have gotten over the time the Mythbusters used a rocket powered steel wall to - and I use this word as literally as possible - vaporize an entire car into red mist

#Mythbusters shaped so much of my childhood I swear #remember when they failed to dislodge dried cement from a cement truck with any explosives they put in that didn’t harm the truck #so their conclusion was that they should FILL THE ENTIRE CEMENT TRUCK WITH ANFO #which is to say about 5001 lbs worth of explosives #that blast could be FELT through the TV screen #As Jamie famously said: “When in doubt: C-4.” #but yeah literally ALL of Mythbusters high-speed stuff is epic beyond proportions #mythbusters #oh and don't forget the Non-Dairy Creamer that turned into a MASSIVE FIREBALL #Mythbusters is the reason that I will always be afraid of any and all hot-water heaters #I love Mythbusters because they're funny - they're memable - they're quotable - they're hot - they're educational - they blow shit up #if you're a car on Mythbusters then you know that you're in trouble #or any heavy vehicle in general #Quote I remember: “Next time on Mythbusters: Find out why we can't get car insurance!” As they're lifting a car with a crane and duct tape

as 2023 ends in hours, i like to take a moment to share nostalgic stuff i have held onto over the years, where i say "goodbye" to the cartoons, games, and anime series we've lost over the years.

thank you for being here in on 2023's new years day. (and rest in piece to our old shows that were left behind.) (gone and/or over, but not forgotten.) (and to the people who are reading this, please, don't let nostalgia die.)

#very late for this but oh my gosh these pictures were a trip to look through #Zack & Wiki my beloved #Okami my beloved #I still need to play Ni No Kuni. I have it downloaded I just haven't played yet #The Tenkai Knights theme song is playing in my head as I write this #I love more obscure pieces of media that served as at least one person's entire childhood #Tenkai Knights was that for my friend. Zack & Wiki was that for me #zack & wiki #zack and wiki #okami #tenkai knights #video games #tv series

Inshallah he will be stirred into a fine fry

A delicious meal

#most animals are like children that you need to love and cherish and care for in every way #cats are like little brothers. you love them by gently bullying or annoying them #like crocheting a bonnet for our cat #or lifting them up and kissing them in between their furry ears #animals

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen

also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote

suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response

#some heavier stuff in the notes #I prefer to keep my blog more lighthearted since it's my favorite distraction sort-of thing #but this one's been on my mind for awhile #from my experience I generally freeze up and/or say “Oh...” when coming across something shocking or disturbing #If I'm around people who are seeing the same thing then I apologize to them and try to say comforting things while rushing them along #I think I get much more direct when something disturbs me. Likely a coping mechanism to try and rush things along to deal with it later #I'm thinking this mainly from one situation where my sister and I came across a body while driving #I was taking my sister to her taekwondo meeting when for whatever reason we had to turn off the main road #It was in the late evening so everything was pretty dark. The main roads were lit up but the residential areas were almost pitch-black #we had driven a little ways into one such residential area when we saw a guy up ahead frantically waving to get our attention #I slowed down the car and he started moving his arms to direct us to drive around him #I did so slowly and as we passed by him we could make out the silhouettes of a few people standing in the middle of the road #I believe one was kneeled down while another was standing and another was off to the side talking on their phone #in between the two people in the middle we could make out the shape of a person lying motionless on the road #it was a really heavy sight. we couldn’t see much detail but just seeing someone so unnaturally still in the road was horrifying #my sister and I both went really quiet after our general “Oh” reactions. I don’t think we talked much until we turned off of the street #my sister said that she didn’t want to go to her meeting anymore. I told her that I'd cover for her #I was concerned that our parents would be upset she didn’t go to her meeting since they've laid into us for skipping things they pay for #But they immediately understood. I was especially worried that our dad would lay into us for that but he was more than understanding #he said that he's come across bodies himself before and that “it ruins your entire day” #checking the news the next day showed that a man had died likely after being struck by a car in the dark residential area #I couldn't imagine being the civilians who were there when we drove by but I'll always hold the deepest respect for them #keep people at a distance and direct them away. check the body. call for help #I hope if I ever come across something like that when I'm on my own then I can be like those people #...Anyway to answer the question my general reaction is a very quiet “Oh...” though I do occasionally freeze up when I'm not driving #I probably would have been completely quiet apart from my first reaction if I came across the body on my own #I mainly spoke to try and help my sister since she was shocked silent for a bit of time #Thanks for reading all of this if you've gotten here. Hug your loved ones for me. #tw: death #cw: death

Can you confirm which Neil Gaiman is running this account?

Neil Gaiman Delta. Alpha, Beta and Epsilon almost never run the account.

#conveniently leaving out Neil Gaiman Lambda smh #will the war of the Gaimans never cease #I like to imagine that it's like '50% Off' where every Gaiman is fighting over control of the account but only a few can actually write #neil gaiman

and this is why baseball is the best sport (see also: these baseball sidequests)

#BEES: GONE #THANK YOU BEE GUY #from the few sporting events that I have seen it seems like you have to have a good sense of humor to work in stadiums like this one #the people playing the music understood the assignment. as did the people making the cards #baseball #honestly I have so much respect for beekeepers. especially because beekeepers have so much respect for bees! #animals #sports
