Miles' perspective on his own trial must be incredible because, like, he's having the worst fucking days of his life. He's been arrested for the murder of someone he hated and has no explanation for it, he's relentlessly having nightmares about his own father's murder (it's the ANNIVERSARY of that murder), he's spacing out constantly due to no sleep and trauma and overwhelming confusion, he got to spice up his flashbacks with a panic attack thanks to an earthquake in front of Phoenix, who is his only option for defense and has very little experience and is now in the line of fire of von Karma, and he's being prosecuted by his own mentor who has never lost a case and is also just a colossal ass.
And THEN comes the parade of more unreliable witnesses. A dropout university student hoping to be the investigative photographer who catches a lake monster, who has convinced herself she saw him do it. A boat rental caretaker who has amnesia and also possibly brain damage and may or may not be connected to his father's murder fifteen years ago. And then LARRY BUTZ, who was there for some reason??? And somehow just reversed the guilty sentence with his stumbling testimony about listening to the radio??? Miles must be wondering if he's hallucinating any or all of this because everything is SO BAD.
And THEN... AND THEN... it's time to cross-examine the parrot.
EDIT: Adding the ID that @/peachygos made because people are gonna be more likely to see this version than a version with a reblogged ID
[ID: The case poster for Turnabout Goodbyes, with "Seaon's Greason's" from the "Season's Greason's" image edited onto it. Below the cut are the unedited Ace Attorney poster (Edgeworth, von Karma, Yogi, Polly the parrot, and Lotta in a dynamic arrangement) and Season's Greason's image (an apelike animal clawing on the back of a screaming Yeti creature). /end ID]
I've decided I need to have a rest and paint our boys a bit :3
Yeap, the elevator scene!
I think it's pretty clear from the first game, that Edgey has PTSD, and I wanted to try (attempt numbah 2) to show it in metaphor. The elevator is where his nightmares started, but it's also a place where his future abusive guardian broke into and changed his life. In my headcanon, von Karma was abusive towards Miles, psychologically and probaby physically, von Karma just kept the facade in public. I mean, in such scenario, where you take your enemy's child and you are a narcissistic psychopathic villain, I doubt that your revenge would consists only of teaching this child your ways. Von Karma is not as charming as Speilberg's Captain Hook.
So yeah, to rework this episode I need to do 2 spread pages and 1 regular page, one is already lined. I want to finish it and go back to the flirting scene so much T________T
Wait for me, guys!
Do you think the writers of its always sunny have player Ace Attorney or is it just a coincidence that this is literally turnabout goodbyes? Like they even referernece the old man owner only faking being senial and Papi is kinda similar to yanni yogi.
Also I want to see this as an animatic so bad. if i had the skills or ever do then i would
