Can you tell us more about your Ace Attorney oc? Vittorio seems to be a very interesting character haha
Vittorio De' Dharma is the only character in my mind at the moment so you are very lucky.
He's, as you can probably tell by his name, Italian- he studied law in Italy and Germany from the ages of fifteen to eighteen and then moved to study and practice in America at twenty-one, during about the same years Phoenix was working to get his badge back. His Family is not exactly well-known in the legal world, but they also work in the field, though, they are far more interested in civil cases than criminal ones. Vittorio was the first of them to start a career outside of Italy but I am guessing that characters that have studied in Europe would recognize the surname. Anyways
He is: a bitch, but at the same time, he is very polite. Meaning that, unlike most other characters, he adheres to the court etiquette of our world. No screaming or whipping or throwing of any kind. Instead, he focuses his approach in court on rhetoric: He may maintain a polite and detached persona, but he will and has talked his way into both the Prosecution and the Defense's arguments, effectively leaving the opposing Council with no response- at least in theory.
The fact that his family wasn't that well known outside of his country made him want to make a name out of himself, and because of that he started looking into those that were remembered for their victories: he found Manfred's career an inspiration, despite disliking his methods, finding them far too brutish, and then started taking an interest in Wright's former cases- but took very little in strategy from him.
His 'character goal', as one would say, is to create a legacy, and in a sense he does. He gets accused of the murder of his sister because of plot reasons that might be spoilers and decides to prosecute himself for it. The reason why he does not just plead guilty is that he knows the real culprit and he knows that he'd never get convicted, so his plan is to let Wright defend him and use that opportunity to unmask the real killer, obtaining through that the first loss of his career. It's during that specific trial that he gets shot, in the same fashion that Franziska did, to stop the trial, but he continues on despite actively bleeding out until the correct culprit is indicted.
He's not an innocent person, I'd like to add. In order to get where he is he's agreed to accept the protection of and taken the side of various fundamentally evil people, and he does not stray away from corruption or 'cheating'. It's what makes him so cool and hot actually
There is a bit more to his character, I haven't even mentioned how he relates to some other ocs some of my acquaintances made, but that's the gist of it.

man,,,if i have to read "oh if only claude had spilled his guts in the library to edelgard the war could've been prevented🥺" one more time im gonna🔪
as if it's claude's fault that the war happened as if it's claude's responsibility to prevent the war to begin with, edelgard had nothing to do with it at all... as if claude having a lapse in judgement and going 'okay! :)' wouldn't have been the fucking stupidest possible thing for him to do in that confrontation.
like! byleth themselves can get to know edelgard, form a close relationship with her, and it's depicted as the closest relationship that edelgard has in game and yet! even byleth cannot stop edelgard from going down her warpath. and these people think that claude is gonna change her mind because ??? short of killing her dead, there is nothing claude could've said or done, nor is it on him that edelgard made her choice!
but let's say that claude forgot his brain that day so edelgard cornering him & trying to paint him as suspicious in front of his professor is totes okay and he spills the beans... you mean to tell me that edelgard wouldn't just consider blackmailing him or making him a political prisoner? you mean to tell me that hubert (who you know is probably lurkin in the shadows) wouldn't consider doing it regardless if edelgard agreed to it?
claude throwing that request right back in edelgard's face is not, in fact, hypocritical of him. she has no grounds or right to ask this of claude, and him going 'haha u first' highlights this. it's not the same as lorenz questioning him, as ultimately, he's coming from a place of wanting what's best for the alliance. and later lorenz gets better. edelgard? its none of her goddamned business lol
i mean vw was my first pt & i went in not knowing who the flame emperor was (all i knew is that it wasn't dimitri) and the fact that the game went 'ooo that claude isn't he so sus??' made me go 'kk so it's not him' and that was about as much thought as i gave it, what with everything else hogging my attention lol. so when edelgard reveals herself in the holy tomb i immediately went 'oooh so that was the point of the library scene! that was the hint!' the absolute irony of the flame emperor cornering claude and painting him suspicious was the point! and yet! people completely miss that to go '🤔how can i make this all claude's actually' god
short of killing her dead, there is nothing claude could've said or done, nor is it on him that edelgard made her choice!
There's actually a pretty good fic that has Claude do exactly this. I reread it periodically for free serotonin.
as if it's claude's fault that the war happened as if it's claude's responsibility to prevent the war to begin with, edelgard had nothing to do with it at all... as if claude having a lapse in judgement and going 'okay! :)' wouldn't have been the fucking stupidest possible thing for him to do in that confrontation.
SAY 👏 IT 👏 LOUDER 👏LITERALLY GO OFF ANON
Edelgard is always held to a lower standard than every character in the game lol, like she could have deliberately given everyone at Garreg Mach the plague and her simps would say it's everyone else's fault for not wearing biohazard suits 24/7. Literally every interaction Claude has had with her at that point in the game has been laced with antagonism, usually from her. Why is Claude obligated to tell Edelgard his whole backstory when she's actively rude and dismissive toward him, but she isn't obligated to, say, tell everyone that the Duscur people weren't responsible for the Tragedy and thus make herself uuuuuhhhh not complicit in a genocide? Why is Claude obligated to reveal the sources of his most deep-seated trauma to someone he barely knows, but Edelgard isn't obligated to just tell everyone where Flayn is, or better yet, not hire out her pet serial killer to Flayn's kidnappers in the first place?
It's the most pathetic thing, honestly, but narcissistic cults of personality have been started for less.

Quarantine Online
Tumblr media
A/N: sorry I have been MIA for months now. A lot has going on in my life and Depression sucks, making it hard to write, so forgive me.
Tom Hiddleston x Reader
Warnings: Just fluff
Summery: dating is hard it's even harder when a Pandemic happens.. 
     The picture you stared at only showed a well-toned lean body in a well-tailored suit. Most of the photographs showed the same, never his face. His name was Tom 39 years old, living in London. Though he dose travels a lot for work. Shakespeare fanatic, runner, enjoys cooking, long walks with his dog when he's not running and lots and lots of dancing. Six foot one, six foot two on a good day. Who was testing the waters out there, but will be the perfect gentleman and very respectful.
        His profile stated as you looked through it. He had messaged you right as you thought about giving up once again. Everyone on these dating apps only wanted one of two things. Nudes or sex nothing more. No connection, no relationship, not even a friendship. Sure, you were offered friends with benefits.
That was something you were not looking for. Did it not state in your profile that you weren't going to do any of that. Do men even read?
       The few dates you have gone on all ended up a bust. Then the quarantine happened right as you were getting yourself out there. So it was conversations via text. But soon you were ghosted far too many times because you wouldn't send nude.
        You were all about to shut down your account when this man named Thomas H. sent you a message. You weren't even sure why you click on the email from this man without a face. Here you were reading what he had to say.
       Y/n,
           My name is Thomas, but naturally, I go by Tom. I'm sure you might not even respond to this as there is no face to this profile. With my job and for my privacy would be one of many reasons why. But I thought I might give it a shot. And I have to say I'm quite mesmerized by your beauty. You are quite lovely, and I'm sure you get that a lot. But I genuinely mean it. I was a bit fascinated by your profile as I read it, might have had chucked at a few bits of it. I would like to know more about you.
       Like what type of nerd are you? Marvel or DC?
Star Wars or Star Trek? And of course, I'll answer any questions you might have for me. As well I would not ask for any pictures of you clothed or nude as I would like to get to know you as I'm hoping you wouldn't mind getting to know me without the nudes as you put it. Ehehe.
     I genuinely hope to hear from you. But understand if I don't.
Sincerely, Tom.
    Ps, I do hope this quarantine hasn't made you gone completely bonkers.
       Usually, you wouldn't have responded, but something about him told you not to pass this up. What was the worst that could happen that already hasn't happened on an online dating app? Well, there was always the fact he could be a serial killer.
       Hello Tom,
    You may have messaged me in time I was about to give up on this site and return to my habit.  Marvel all the way. I would hope you would agree or we can't continue talking. Though, I can't deny that DC needs to just stop with Batman movies. The should have stopped before George Clooney. Though I will give Christian Bale props, he did a better job than Clooney.
         As for Star Wars and Star Trek? That is a tough one, so I'm just going to say both are good. But let's face it. Captain Kirk is the better star fleet Captain. Sure Picard is excellent as well. But anyone after them just doesn't do it for me. Ha ha..
     And it's all about Baby Yoda. If you are not a baby Yoda fan, you're just wrong. Yes, I'm one of "those" girls.
Coffee or Energy drinks? I would say I dabbled in both. Pancakes or waffles? Yes, there is a difference. I'm a waffle girl myself. Well, that is all I can think of right now.
Y/n.
You hit send before setting your phone down on the table next to you as you yawned. Maybe it was an early bedtime, not like you had anything better to do. You puddled around your usual routine before bed. A loud ding brought you back to your phone.
"That was quick." Recognizing the chim of the app all too well. Grebing your phone, forgetting your face cream as you were curious about what he had to say—settling into bed, getting comfortable before you opened your phone.
Y/n,
I'm delighted to hear from you. If I'm quite bold, and for starters, its tea for me. With two sugars and a splash of cream. As for waffles or pancakes, I'm French toast kind of man, duh. Lol. Though you can't beat a good old fashion English Breakfast and a side of Earl gray. Eheh.
I'm quite a fan of marvel though it is a rather vast universe. What movies/comics praytell do you prefer?
Sorry love to disappoint, but I'm going to say Doctor Who I am British. The tenth and the eleventh doctor. I do hope you've seen the show. I used to watch the reruns of the original with my father when I was a young wide eye lad. I am a fan of both Star Wars and Star Trek. And there is nothing wrong with liking a baby Yoda. He is exceedingly loveable.
          It says your new to England, where are you from originally? How long have you've been here? Seen any of the sights England has to offer?
       That's all for now.
Sincerely, Tom.
          Emails went on for weeks talking back and forth first on the dating app than via text. You were the one to leap by giving him your number. After hitting send your phone vibrated with a text.
         Unknown number: Hello love, this is Tom. I'm delighted to receive your text.
        More weeks had passed. Still, you had yet to see his face though he did send you photos of random things during the day. You did the same as your toes sticking out from the bubble bath. Then you got a text of his toes sticking out from under the blankets. The two of you would watch a movie together. The quarantine was still in effect. Each of you would pick a film out every other weekend and sit back and watch it—text throughout the movie.
          Y/n: Omg did she just run up the stairs like a dumb big boobed bimbo!!! She makes the rest of us look bad.
Tom: Eheh, you said it darling, not me. Though I think she might survive this.
Y/n: Wanna make a beat? I think she will die within the next few minutes.
Tom: Oh, it's on. Now, what do I get if I win?
Y/n: Whatever it is you want cause mister you are going to lose.
You both patiently wanted to see what happens next. The movie ended, and you waited in annoyance for Tom to respond to gloat about being right. And to see what he desired for his spoils of war.
Tom: Well, Love, it looks like I have won this round.
Y/n: It seems you have butthead. What is it that the winner wishes for?
Tom: Did you just call me a butthead? Eheh. Hmm, let's see. How about a Skype date? I figured it was about time to reveal myself.
Y/n: Tom, I just meet you. I'm not sure I'm ready to see your eggplant. Haha.
Tom: I probably should have rephrased that better. My face love, my face. Eheh. Tomorrow at 7 pm?
Nervous was an understatement. You had cleaned your whole flat even if you were going to stay on the couch, laptop resting on a large pillow setting on your coffee table. You sat playing with your hair, unsure if you wanted it up or down. A chim from your computer startled you from straightening out your dress you finally had settled on. Soon a well-tailored suited chest came on screen.
       "Hold on, darling, trying to adjust this blood screen." The deep British, very attractive yet somehow familiar voice rang through the computer speakers. You only assumed it belongs to Tom.
           You watched the man attempting to fiddle with the view, cursing ever so quietly. Making you giggle relaxing a little bit more. Your laughing came to an abrupt halt when Tom's face came into Focus. Your jaw dropped. And now the unmistakable "ehehe" came in to play as you stared at none other the most eligible bachelor in England none other than loki himself Tom Hiddleston.
           "Darling, I think your drooling." Tom teased point to the side of his clean, shaved face. Tom fidgeted with his now raven-colored hair.
          "Oh, I-I," You stammered out, trying to compose yourself.
           "Didn't see this coming did you?" Tom smiled, wetting his lips with that blasted tongue of his.
           "Well, no. I wasn't expecting Tom
Hiddleston."
           "Is that a bad thing?" Tom spoke up.
           "Oh, no, no. I would be an idiot to say it was. Hey, wait a minute. I've told you that, that, that. Shit." You muttered.
          "That I was your hall pass if given a chance. Eheh. Well, it looks like you'll have had wasted your hall pass privileges. You only get one and can't use it on someone if you are already seeing them."
        "You know, sir, you are still a butthead." You stuck out your tongue at the man.
        "You do like calling me that. Why are you calling me a butthead this time?" Tom grinned.
              Your time with Tom was extraordinary, the two of you talked throughout most of the night. He told you things you never knew about the actor every woman pined over. Here you were, the one woman out of a billion he seems to fancy.
           "Well, love." Tom cooed as he watched you try not to nod off to sleep. "I should let you sleep."
         "I'm sorry." You muttered sleepily.
          "Do not apologize, my dear. I should be the one to apologize I've kept you up most of the night.” Tom smiled softly. He watched as you rub your eyes, a shy smile softly graced your lips. Making Tom’s heart flutter.
”Perhaps, my dear, would you like to meet for coffee at the cafe that opened back up?” Tom hummed in high hopes.
”Hmm, I don't know.” You smiled, trying hard to look like you were contemplating though you were going to say yes. To hell with this virus, it was Tom Hiddleston asking you to coffee.
”I mean, I'll wear a mask and stay six feet if needed.” Tom added quickly.
”No, no, there is no need for that. I don't mind unless you feel like it's needed.” You pipped up—Tom grind like a fool shaking his head no.
