You know one thing that I absolutely hate? When one recurring joke about a character overshadows their trauma and complexity. I hate when characters are treated unseriously and frankly disrespected because of one meme or gimmick that is probably massively overused anyway. And why is it always video game characters.

#Yes I'm talking about Maya Fey's burgers #Franziska von Karma's whip #Goro Akechi's pancakes #Raiden Ei's inability to cook #Kujou Sara's devotion to the shogun #Venti’s alcoholism #literally almost every Genshin character #writing #fandom #ace attorney #genshin impact #persona 5 #jen's rambles

I have to say I love your defenseworth au. But I gotta say/ask for this.

I gotta see some Phoenix and Franziska bonding. Like mayber over Phoenix teaching her about poker with a secret lesson about how to read people which can be very handy for the job field their going into and just.

I gotta know man, what their relationship like as siblings.

he’d bring out her immature side that she tries to keep hidden under her prosecutor persona simply due to his own immaturity

This is them bonding I swear

#doctorsiren #ace attorney #ace attorney au #phoenix wright #franziska von karma #ace attorney fanart #prosecutor wright au #defenseworth au #digital art #my art #procreate #nuh uh is such a versatile phrase #they would be very openly competitive with each other but also they would gossip while painting each other’s nails and makeup #I was gonna draw poker chips and cards on the table but uhhh nah I got lazy lmao #ALSO #my personal HC is that from ages 13-17 Franziska was called the ‘Prosecutor Princess’ back in Germany and such #but when she heard Miles had a genuine rival she got competitive again and remade her whole persona #she had the whip the whole time but she cut her hair shorter and wore a more sleek and less ‘childish’ outfit #so in this AU the same sorta thing happens that when Phoenix becomes a prosecutor. Franziska reinvents her own persona too

as funny as the "phoenix giving edgeworth a whip" moment in aa2-4 was it is actually so important on an ideal level basically sums up phoenix's character development in that game. let me explain. the prosecutor that gets introduced to us in aa2 is franziska: a prodigy, daughter and successor of von karma, driven by the wrong ideas and using the wrong methods. the "wrongness" of her as a prosecutor is summed up by the whip - a tool that gives her power over the court, her main tactic she has been using all these years, a heritage, a pain, something she carries with her. the defense, on the other hand, is saddled with anger and sadness that come from a lack of understanding of miles edgeworth: why did he do this? was he really so foolishly prideful? could he not see himself be anything else than gant and von karma? was i foolish to see that in him?

but then, in aa2-4, edgeworth shows up and is neither his old self nor the new one. he is still a prosecutor, and he still helps phoenix subtly in the trial; he's still an ass, he's still wearing the cravat, but he is not on the same path as before. he claims to have learnt a lesson and intends to let phoenix learn it as well. he asks him: what kind of defense attorney do you want to be? the position you have will remain the same. you will still be at this bench. what can you do to deserve to stand there? what can you be? and the implications the question brings with it are more meaningful than the question itself: they mean you can be different kinds of a defense, they mean you can use the tools you have in entirely different ways.

so when phoenix gives the whip to franziska through miles edgeworth, he says "take the tool back. you have a hereditary power you could be using unfairly, waving it over everyone scarily, but you could take it back and do something with it. be a prosecutor. don't run. don't throw away what you have no matter who gave it to you; you are the whip's owner and you command it". he acknowledges the nuance of it all, and he acknowledges the fact that franziska does need to leave as well, do some soul-searching and find her own path. and when phoenix gives the whip to franziska, he does it through miles edgeworth, and with it, he says "i get it now".

#finally said something about that fucking whip. i should have replayed the case first but oh well!!!!#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #franziska von karma #ace attorney 2 #justice for all #aa2 #aa

I love how Franziska consistently respects and supports women (unless they're the defendants she's prosecuting, of course). Like, she looked out for Adrian after the trial that revealed her insecurities to the world. She wonders how the head nun is holding up after a murder at her temple, and reassures her instead of insulting her when she's upset about being cut out of the investigation. Pearl disliking her seems to sincerely upset her...

Franziska von Karma, a woman's woman

#not that it wasn't fun and sexy of her to whip Maya in court #maya can get a little whipping. as a treat #a treat for franziska #but for real it would have been sp easy for Franziska to be a mean girl with little dimension #but she does seem to have a huge soft spot for women and children #maya plays ace attorney #ace attorney #franziska von karma #bridge to the turnabout

Franziska and her love for her "little" brother

Franziska and her wholehearted acceptance of Edgeworth as her brother despite them not being blood related

Franziska and her courage to try to stand up against her father to give said little brother a chance to shine

Franziska and her insecurities making her always strive to be perfect and better than others

Franziska and her stubbornness to never back down even though she's scared

Franziska and her support of women because she knows how hard it is to be a woman in a man's world

Franziska who, at her core, is aware she isn't perfect, is aware of who her father is and what he's done, is aware that she's young and has issues allowing herself to be vulnerable and isn't sure yet how to handle that trauma, but is still proud of who she is and how far she's come

Franziska

#anyways I love Franziska #ace attorney #ace attorney investigations #Franziska von Karma #this could've been worded better probably but tbh she's my favorite character in the series #y:p #text #it's ok if people don't agree with me but i adore her #this stems from conversations I've had with ru about her #I'd love for her to get her own game tbh #I just love how imperfect she is #I do love that she's wrong a lot and insists she's right #it's fitting for a character like her #also the whip is iconic tbh

Headcanon: Franziska assumes that horse riding, fencing and playing harpsichord is an average experience.

I also like to think that von Karma had kennels with hunting dogs and stables, and Miles took a liking to dogs and Franziska – to horces.

#ace attorney #headcanon #franziska von karma #yes that's why she has a riding whip #miles edgeworth #there is metaphor for miles and ziska being raised like hunting dogs somewhere
