I realize people mostly use “Godot” in general reference to post-coma Diego, but at the end of 3-5 he specifically asks that people call him “Diego” again. 

“Godot” is the alter ego, a way to distance himself from the mistakes, the failure, and the tragic demise of the defense attorney he used to be. He is not emotionally capable of coping with the, seriously, nightmarishly awful circumstances he awakens into. So the only solution he can find is to become a new person altogether. It’s unhealthy, delusional, and transparently not working at all. By the end of 3-5, though, he admits that his new mantle was just part of his fantasy, a way for him to keep running away from the truth he couldn’t accept. 

In the game, as soon as he makes the request, both his text boxes and all other characters immediately start referring to him as “Armando” or “Mr. Armando” again. I keep seeing fanworks where everybody, including Diego himself, keep calling him “Godot” even after the events of 3-5. But there’s a very significant and explicit point in the text where this name no longer applies to him, by his own request. Having characters ignore it is A. rude and B. kind of…  you know… missing a massively important detail for his character. 

Incidentally, Mia does not ever and would not ever call him “Godot.” Whether out of frustration or (I think, much more likely) empathy, under no circumstances would she ever humor his self-destructive dramatics. Going back to that other post I did, Mia is the pin in the bubble that would disrupt his whole stupid act. 

Like really.  

Godot: “I am the legendary prosecutor Godot, and I-” 

Mia: 

This is, incidentally, an extremely funny Miego dynamic that should definitely be used more. 

#Yeah!!! #Its one of the easiest ways to get me to click out of a fic lmao #Along with having post-canon diego keep calling phoenix trite and such #Idc what u do on tumblr when casually talking about him but in post canon fics he's diego #Its small things but they just rlly indicate to me u didnt pay attention to him #Godot #Unless there's a REASON to call him godot post canon of course #Iris kept calling diego godot for a bit post-canon in one of my fics but it was incredibly intentional #To denote she didnt rlly know him and it stopped when she got to know him better and saw him as more of a person #Rather than a shadow of her own unfortunate past #But like. Put some thought in it at least.

[Image: fanart of Diego Armando from Ace Attorney. He’s drawn from the hips up in black and white, holding a cat in his arms, petting it with a sheepish smile. He’s having a conversation with Mia; her text balloons are blue, his are red, and Mia’s text balloons lead to a little sketch of her head. Mia says: “Armando why’d you bring a kitten?!” Diego replies: “Cuz it was cute, of course.” “You can’t just bring a kitten into the courtroom!!” “Brought you in, didn’t I?” “Hmph.” End description.]

Okay, so if you’re still doing the request thing I just had a really stupid one.

She’s surrounded by yellow bright yellow lines, most of which follow her form, some of which are scribbled next to her. She’s drawn with brown skin and curly hair. The background is purple. End description.]

“Those of Von Karma blood have only one fate. And that is ‘perfection.’”

[Image: fanart of Iris from Ace Attorney. It’s a bust that’s a redraw of one of her sprites. She brings a lost fist to her chest, looking at the viewer with a shocked expression. Next to her head is a white starburst with an exclamation point in it. There’s a white line outlining her. The background is blue. End description.]

[Image: fanart of Dahlia Hawthorne from Ace Attorney. It’s a bust of her with her parasol, staring directly at the viewer with a furious expression, loose strands of hair falling in front of her face. There are green lines around her, mostly following her profile, some scribbled next to her. The background is pink. End description.]

[Image: fanart of Dick Gumshoe from Ace Attorney. He’s kneeling in front of a flower pot with blue morning glories, resting one arm on his knee as he loosely holds a water can still dripping water, smiling with his eyes closed. He’s without his coat and has a pencil behind his ear. He’s kneeling on a patch of stone in a meadow, with a tree in the background. The sky is a yellow to blue gradient with white clouds, and light hits Gumshoe from behind. End description.]

[Image: fancomic for Ace Attorney. Kristoph Gavin sits at a table, two wine glasses in front of him. He leans his head on his hand while gesturing at the glasses with the other, a smug smirk on his face. He says: “I poisoned one of our glasses, but I forgot which one.” Cut to Phoenix, who’s leaning back in his chair, knees visible, looking tired and annoyed, saying: “The way this dinner is going I hope it’s mine.” The comic is drawn in warm limited pallet of pastel highlighter colours (primarily purple, blue, orange) using comic tones and gradients.  End description.]
