[the-judicial-assistants-notebook]

sits up in bed. so lana and ema definitely thought they were responsible for edgeworth "choosing death", right?

(the rest of this post was supposed to go in the tags, because it's not very well organised or written, but it got too long so. here are the slightly edited tags for your reading pleasure (or otherwise)):

i was going to make this solely about ema because she's the obvious one with her open adoration of edgeworth, but the thing about rfta is that it goes to great lengths to emphasise the connection between lana and edgeworth as well.

the sl-9 incident showed that lana grows attached to people deeply, hence angel starr's comment on how, when neil marshall died, 'she (lana) felt like her own brother had died.' with edgeworth, i think it was similar but worse. because he's not just a coworker or subordinate who's dear to her. he saved her life. and it cost him his own.

at the beginning of the case, edgeworth says he was mistaken for thinking that lana was always looking out for him post sl-9 (a statement interesting on its own because that's when everyone else says she grew distant), and, later on, he brings ema fingerprinting powder because lana asked him to. then, of course, there's the 'lady luck' comment he makes.

similarly, on lana's side, you obviously have the end of the trial when she says he did well, but there's also that additional moment post-trial where she's the only one to notice — in a group comprising her, ema, phoenix and gumshoe — that he's 'hiding', listening to their conversation. point is, there's enough to suggest that she might have been the nearest thing edgeworth had to a mia; his 'chief prosecutor' to phoenix's plain 'chief'. they're as close as two people can be in a relationship where one of them is constantly lying and the other is von karma's star pupil.

rfta is pretty straightforwardly depicted as the case which solidified edgeworth's resolve to do what he did; i don't think i have to prove that. rumours about him have reached new heights, his car and knife were involved in goodman's murder, he makes an unprecedented mistake in court by failing to connect the evidence room and carpark incidents, thus forcing the chief of police to enter the trial to do so himself, and he's publicly revealed to have relied on falsified evidence to secure a conviction in the sl-9 case, all of which only happened because of lana. jake marshall even claims that from the beginning — that if you trace edgeworth's rumours back to their source, you end up meeting one person: lana skye.

and it gets worse because at the end of rfta, she thinks he's fine!! she literally says, 'i was afraid the pressure would break you, but you rose above it,' and reminds him he's nothing like gant because he's not alone. she leaves the case thinking he will be okay. and then, what, like a week passes, and she finds out that he wasn't, and that he's gone, and it's her fault. even after she was freed from gant's control, even after she had finally stopped lying, she couldn't prevent herself from claiming another life. so much for 'lady luck', i suppose.

and the game reiterates this multiple times. gumshoe states at the start that edgeworth's ties to those higher up in the department have made him the subject of constant rumours, and phoenix says (in front of ema) that he shouldn't be held responsible for the forged evidence because that was all lana's doing, which then leads to edgeworth commenting (again in front of ema) that he feels as though 'something inside him has died.' it all goes back to lana. we can argue and say that it was technically gant's doing that caused all of this, but lana still took actions that led to it. even her complicated friendship with edgeworth isn't spared; it's that closeness between them that exacerbated those rumours. how could she not feel responsible in some way?

and with ema, it's rather obvious, isn't it? if she hadn't gone poking her nose into things, none of this would have happened or come to light. and, of course, she'd never choose anyone over her sister, not for anything in the world — it's simply not a question, but that's the problem, isn't it? it's not a question. it's not some hypothetical moral dilemma. it just is. she may not have killed neil marshall, but she still has one king of prosecutor's blood on her hands. and now she has to live with that. she just. has. to live with it. no matter if he chose otherwise.

moving on from that a little, i think it's actually wild how much of ema's journey to becoming a forensics investigator is paved with bad memories. neil marshall's death and her subsequent inability to testify are what drives her to begin pursuing it, her first proper investigation results in her idol's "death" and when she finally graduates, the person who saved her sister has been disbarred, and she can't even help because she isn't allowed to. all that pain and constant pursuit of her goals, and she's still the same ema skye, still that girl shrouded in darkness, always one step behind the truth, one step a little too late. no wonder she was angry in aa:aj. i would be furious.

#and then like a year later they find out edgeworth's fine and if that happened to me i think i would kill him fr #WKSHDKAHDKS #lana skye #ema skye #miles edgeworth #the skye sisters' relationship with one dramatic depressed prosecutor is something that can be so personal... #ive literally never thought this much about lana or ema ever. they never occupy my thoughts but somehow. #everyone else: man edgeworth's vanishing must have had a real impact on franziska and phoenix. me: what about these 2 side characters who #technically only appeared once in the whole trilogy. in a dlc. what about them. #it's actually so interesting how much lana is set up to be important to edgeworth. phoenix even says she reminds him of mia and when i #first read that i was like ??? bc of the scarf? there's more to mia than a scard phoenix. but then you pay attention to how she interacts #with edgeworth and it's like oh. i see it now. and then she disappears forever. #mind you i dont think she or ema were like. destroyed by the news of edgeworth's supposed passing. not in the way phoenix was anyway. #for better or worse both lana and ema are shown to have a tight hold over themselves emotionally speaking. lana keeps a lid on them for #years and ema is told she might have killed neil by accident and is functional after a brief faint and recess. like those women are strong. #but i do think it would have had a deep impact regardless of how well they were able to cope. like i've said i dont see how it wouldnt. #anyway this concludes my rfta moment. time to go back to being unable to say a thing about susato-san even though she occupies my every #waking moment. if you read all this ily <3 #it's also past midnight so if this is all a bit everywhere im sorry

I MISS ROADTRIPPING SO MUCH @boomerang109 @mundifinis 'i totally almost hit that guy' boom freaking out on the road despite never once coming close to hitting anyone ashla shouting at drivers but freaking out if anything even came close to going wrong perpetual passenger princess me doing absolutely fuck all always. the aux being the most fucked thing ever listening to the entirety of hadestown being asked to queue fake plastic trees in broad daylight ptolemaea coming on at a gas station. almost breaking down in the desert at night. that stupid water bottle being launched every time the car stopped too suddenly. 'return to the route' x10. maccies runs. sprinting through american niagara because we thought we were going to get a parking ticket. doing canadian niagara in 30 mins because we refused to pay any longer for parking. ride by lana del rey. me and michael by mgmt with the windows down. cleaning all the dead bugs off the windscreen again and again and again. SO many sandwiches. boom's car making increasingly concerning noises. driving 20mph bc it's nighttime. watching fireflies out the window. why are there so many potholes in america. 'guys...'

#the reason im such a freak about music is bc i attach it so interchangeably to memories/media/people so it's very visceral for me #and for as much as we got done we also did spend 70% of this trip just driving for hours on end listening to music and talking #when i tell you SO MANY SONGS have been changed forever bc of this roadtrip #YOU TOOK LANA DEL REY FROM ME YOU FREAKS! YOU TOOK NOAH KAHAN! MY SMALL TOWN BOY POLLUTED BY AMERICA? JAIL #how to move on from the roadtrip when i cant go a day without listening to music and every song is a palimpsest of its original meaning #everything is drenched in memory baby! why am i smiling softly while making tea bc some random as fuck song came on shuffle! #rwbt 2.0

[cosmic-d1ce]

Okay but may I suggest: Breezeblocks by Alt-J as a Philever/Forphil song.

Just look at the lyrics and the meaning behind them, my friend :)

Counter suggestion : Christmas Kids by ROAR :)

surprised i havent seen it in any playlists yet it's perfect for them??

I could do a song analysis in the context of fml but thats boring and nerdy so i will spare you

#qsmp #qsmp philza #qsmp forever #forever my love au #forphil #philever #forever x philza #Breezeblocks has been added to my playlist tho i can't believe i forgot about it #Also jealous girl by lana del rey #Perfect fit

Been thinking about it lately, but Eight seems to have 3 'sides' to his personality that shows up in different situations/for different people. (If he were an animated character, he'd probably look different as well, but that's hard to express)

Mission Mode

- Selectively silent. If he does speak, it's out of necessity or kindness to his target; has both a menacing and melancholy air. Does have a certain charisma as a result of the heavy influence of his mentor's personality being adopted into this persona. Often merciless, but not masochistic, and very, very cold in complete contrast to the usual warmth of his personality. You could say this is when he's focused on nothing but the kill, and where his designation as a Cipher shines the most. Was like this when he was younger; goes into it less now after Keeper well, basically told him he that side of him was no good.

Around Loved Ones

- Complete contrast to Mission Mode. Cheery, mirthful, affectionate and mischievous, this is when he's at his most talkative. Since he was close to Keeper, this side came out a lot even on missions as he was happy doing work in ImpIntel, but also was a result of trying to bury his past and connect to others more. He shows this side of himself because he's comfortable, but it also results in his silliest antics because it brings out the goofball husky in him. ...Nevermind the fact that it's partially a way to distract others from his bloodier side.

- With Jadus, he retains his mischief and boldness, but it takes on a cryptic air that aids a lot in keeping the Lord on his toes in their shared mindgames. Always keep 'em guessing.

Around...Coworkers?

- You could say this side only came out in the Alliance/SoR-era when he was suddenly stuck with people he didn't know. Also completely silent, but in a benign way where he just stares at you with no expression and watches your reaction out of an unwillingness to make conversation. Half of the time he's ignoring you, though. Whether his stare unnerves or de-stresses tends to vary amongst personnel.

- Incredibly quiet and surprisingly meek, since he has no interest in being more appealing to people he just has to tolerate, but ends up being more eccentric than the other two sides combined because he a) doesn't communicate and b) does whatever he wants spontaneously. Tends to be more aware of people's feelings and charitable (in his own way) as a result of being a silent observer, which can either be cute or irritating depending on who you ask.

- •_• <- his reaction to that information

#swtor #oc: orradiz #his quiet observer side is very moe. and deadpan #...but it's also funny that he basically went fuck all you guys (the Alliance) i'm not talking anymore. i don't like you *shuts up forever* #which results in situations like him staring at theron being underfed and then placing an apple on his head and walking away without a word #at first it baffled everyone and pissed lana off but they got used to it. lol #me watching him talk in kotxx: he would not say that. in fact he wouldn't say anything #part of it is because he's such a keen body language reader that he just doesn't see the need to communicate vocally #eight: (silently through stare: you're ugly im gonna kill you give me 200 dollars) #theron: how tf are you doing that

Hey, queen! I am just going to leave this little gift for you here! ❤️

Thank you so much for simply being you and for being one of the most brilliant and talented creators this fandom has ever had a chance to encounter! Your work is simply revolutionary. (I am still squealing whenever I think of your June x Ethan WIP! Girl, you went there, and I am buzzing with excitement. I did not even know how much I needed this type of fic!)

To say I love Dr Lana Brooks would be a complete understatement. I absolutely adore her - she is a total badass, my precious sassy goddess whom I love so much. She is absolutely the type of woman I aspire to be! I cannot get enough of her, and I hope you will soon bless us with more goodies that include this beautiful lady!

I always scream out of joy whenever we comment/reblog each other's shenanigans because it never fails to amaze me to realise how many things we see similarly. I used to be worried someone might give me hell for what I am planning within my own fictional universe, but you genuinely give me the courage to stick to my vision and carry on with what I want. I have no doubt I am not the only person whom you inspire so much!

Always in awe of you and everything you do! ❤️

lin this is so incredibly sweet im actually crying right now 🥺🥺🥺

"(You get to see) her understanding of how things really are. And so that becomes much more present on the surface. (...) In this season, we get to see her fall deeper in love with him but also navigate those challenges. And also becoming an anchor for Rhett but also struggling with his decision, 'Is this what I want for my future as well, as much as I love this man?'." - Isa in an interview with The Knockturnal(x)

#outer range s2 #outer range s2 spoilers #maria olivares #isabel arraiza #i want her to leave this relationship but also... not really??? idk man #truly no one can make maria angry like autumn can #i would LOVE to see the dynamic with her family like... what are her parents like? #because it seemed like she had been waiting for approval from a mother figure once cece hugged her... #they could never make me hate you maria olivares #i have seen articles say that her role seems reduced but i kind of have to disagree... i feel like she gets more scenes and more to do #if they mean that there's not much else to her this season besides her love for this man and her desire to leave they're kind of right? #but you also get to see her go against almost every instinct to run away but ultimately can't because of her love for him #which makes her both admirable and foolish #but sometimes love makes you do stupid shit... idk how it will pay off #i just don't want her to get hurt in the end #i DO in fact have a bias for her #it's obvious that there are parallels between rhett and royal but i see some similarities between cece and maria(very minor) #the denim jackets and hands in the pockets and (possibly?) their faith? although maria doesn't seem as religious #the more i think about it the more scared i am for her and rhett's future because i'm reminded of clana s7 #like lana was also told that she's not a part of clark's future and she ended up leaving too? #i guess what i'm saying is that maria and lana are there in the moment but in the back of their minds they have doubts #obviously i don't like that she still doesn't trust him but at the same time... when is he planning to leave? #she can't wait forever for her life to start so ultimately if she has to leave without him she should... #but i'm so scared of them breaking up or her leaving him #also her moral compass is wavering like lana's did in that season so i feel like if he doesn't know she's been stealing he'll be let down #i wish we knew more about her dreams and ambitions... does she still wanna be a vet? #i know she doesn't want to break his heart so idk if she would leave but i'm just prepping for the worst #also i'm a little uncomfy with them having their only latinx character steal? but i don't want to speak for any other latinxs i'm filipino #truly was worried for maria when isa was asked about her growth and she was like ''... not so much growth''

Obligatory Hosie fankids in the year of our lord 2024--but this time, Leo's finally introduced!! (for more info on my Hosie fankids)

I like to think that Hope's trying to wrangle the kids for a photo but the twins are not making it easy for her lol. Hopefully one day I can draw a FULL family picture of Hope, Josie, and their four kids together!

And also can't forget Hosie fankids in FFXIV AU:

#hosie #hosie fankids #hosie ffxiv au #i really enjoyed colouring Lana and Leo's hair no lie #also goodness drawing and colouring both the normal and ffxiv version has taken away all my spoons #i'm ready for a forever nap #eprika rambles #also fuck drawing armour. #ffxiv #final fantasy xiv

[riseninsaturn]

i’m not particularly crazy about krisnix but i think interpretations in which kristoph are straight is a little hilarious. ultimately people headcanon whatever they want i don’t give a shit but that man is definitely. like. i don’t think his gripes with his younger brother and whoever else are that he’s a boykisser i think kristoph would kiss indefinite amounts of men if anyone wanted him. sorry. 

#saturn.txt #don't get me wrong i love ships that are also divorces but #i'm a subscriber to like. complicated esh relationships with pairings that also could be healthy but just tilted at an angle #like lanamia are happy and gay and holding hands forever but also i think they could have toxic shit going on there #lana in general is my comfort character in the sense that i think she can suck sometimes

[wickedheadache]

forever obsessed with Regina's conversation with Emma this episode. her acknowledging that she's built up on a lot of bad habits to the point where they're now her instincts. acknowledging that her first instincts are destructive and that she needs to actively make an effort to ignore them. her finally knowing what she wants out of life and what brings her happiness.

but also: "you hate doing good?" "YES" and how shocked Emma is by that. delicious. a full meal.

#im forever obsessed also with Lana's delivery of the 'im trapped' line #the RESIGNATION #i love her #ouat rewatch #ouat s5 ep22 #me
