Scott Westerfeld is up there with Suzanne Collins as "Sci Fi futuristic dystopia authors who had Something To Say And Damn Well Dedicated Themselves To That Something."
I've been thinking about this song + JGY for a long time ("I get my hands dirty, I show up so early, they show me no mercy, so I just keep working" hello???? hello??????), and I would like to personally thank ZZJ for his wonderful face and brilliant acting 🙏
Do you ever think about how there totally could have been an old classmate of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth in the audience during like turnabout sister or turnabout samurai. Do you think they would realize? Like “hey, were those the guys in my class in like fourth grade? I kinda remember them. Wonder if they remember each other. But it was so long ago, I doubt they would even care.” Meanwhile Edgeworth and Phoenix are undergoing the most insane mental battles where both of them are going “I recognize my best friend across the courtroom and I desperately want to be close with them again.” And “god he is so god damn annoying I wish he would die already.”
something something one of those those "Jango falls for Courtesan/Stripper/NightclubSinger/TrophyWife!Obi-Wan" AUs...
But instead Obi-Wan actually being a sex worker, he's undercover and still a Jedi, and either:
They split ways and run into each other a few months later with Obi-Wan in full Prude Beige Knight mode
OR
The situation goes pear-shaped while they're still flirting and Obi-Wan has to break cover to grab a senator and jump out a window and suddenly this half-dressed glittery Person is batting away shots with a lightsaber
and there's a bratty twelve-year-old who ALSO has a lightsaber threatening people with I Will Eat Your Liver if they keep staring at his dad's ass just because the sequined sheathe dress tore in a sexy place
It's tax season and I don't wanna do mine so instead here's my hcs about AA characters and taxes that literally nobody asked for.
Phoenix: does his own taxes until Apollo shows up then foists the WAA taxes onto Apollo. Does he always do his own taxes correctly or give Apollo the right numbers? Perhaps not. But hey, if they're wrong the IRS will let him know, right? He hasn't been audited yet. 🤷🏻
Edgeworth: has never filled out a tax form in his life. Only knows how taxes work on a theoretical level. Because he's stupid rich and has foreign income, his taxes are wildly complicated. That is what Stephanie, his accountant is for.
Franziska: same as Edgeworth. She also thinks it's stupid that she has to pay American taxes when she's not here.
Apollo: actually capable of doing taxes. Does not use turbotax, thank you very much, because he does not trust them and they are evil. He will check and double check his taxes himself. He has also somehow been conscripted into doing the WAA taxes. Unfortunately, he's not sure if his calculations are correct there because he frankly doesn't trust the numbers that Phoenix has given him. It makes him Wildly Anxious. Terrified of the IRS.
Athena: TurboTax dot com babeyyyyy.
Klavier: also rich and has complicated taxes so he has an accountant to do his. He offered his accountant's services to Apollo but Apollo just ended up double checking the accountant's numbers so he's not sure if the accountant actually saved Apollo any time or grief.
Simon: with Athena on TurboTax dot com. He didn't do taxes for years on account of the being in jail thing so he's not sure what's going on. He also doesn't care that much and his taxes aren't that complicated so he just sorta throws his w2 at Athena and assumes she knows what's going on.
hii just wanna say ur feenie and maya drawings are top tier amazing i love them they are so the siblings ever
Thank you so muchTvT! I'm happy that a lot of people are enjoying my recent narumayo doodles. Also very true,, Phoenix having nonexistent parents and Maya having complicated family issues make it that they are just there for each other's company, paving their way to life and facing whatever obstacles they have on the way.
