#and it slowly coming to become something more comfortable/''wholesome'' during the seven year time skip... idk

[aletheialed]

fascinated by how much i'd forgotten how like... even at the point of t&t, edgeworth still struggles with social situations. he's still sometimes kind of a jerk. (sorry gumshoe ;w;) and granted, he's stuck in a situation in that game where he's led to believe that phoenix almost died, and then there's an earthquake, and it's just an all around mess that's not gonna be helping his state of mind, but. still!

idk??? it's just interesting to me, and sometimes i feel like the investigations games write edgeworth as too "perfect" a little. but his line about how he thought he "wouldn't have to see [phoenix] again for a while" is so interesting to me too, like he's clearly avoiding him... because he's in love and doesn't know how to handle it LISTEN

they care about each other, but there's still some awkwardness there. maybe i'm just imagining it or being unfair to him though, i really need to play the case fully again instead of just watching snippets. but. i am having thoughts about this. they are not fully formed yet but i will get there i SWEAR-

#ooc #personally i love it because it means i get to work through that shit in threads and that's Fun for me!! but like #idk. i'm just fond of the idea of the dynamic between edgeworth and phoenix still being kind of like... Messy; post t&t??? #and it slowly coming to become something more comfortable/''wholesome'' during the seven year time skip... idk #i'm second guessing myself a bit here; this reading might be entirely my imagination. feel free to share your thoughts! #it's like jfa happens and phoenix is still mad at edgeworth about his ''death'' and then edgeworth fucks off back to europe for a year agai #and like. did they ever actually talk. about their feelings. IT HAUNTS ME
