do you understand how insane this makes me feel. why did the crossover pull a throwback to one of the biggest moments in bridge to the turnabout.

#ace attorney #plvpw #do you UNDERSTAND. #iris leaving her fate in edgeworth's hands. edgeworth passing that to wright. #and then. in labyrinthia. layton leaves espella's defense in phoenix's hands again. #it's the level of trust!! and this is LITERALLY HOURS after layton and wright first met #btw i am personally not tagging this as ship but. you are free to do so #i was thinking about it while making this

Apparently some Ace Attorney fans don’t like this Plot Beat in the PLVSAA game? Like, they feel that it disrespects Phoenix or puts in on a lower rung of importance compared to Layton? But I really disagree, I have some other issues with PLVSAA, but this moment? That’s a perfect Phoenix Wright moment that shows a real understanding of his character and his appeal.

Because Phoenix Wright always shoves his nose right into the center of stories where he was not supposed to be in. That’s what he’s been doing since the beginning. 

Just look at the plot of the very first game! It’s all about Manfred von Karma and his Big Ass Weirdo Grudge against the whole Edgeworth family all two of them. In many ways, even if the AA narrative doesn’t typically use that framing - Manfred is kind of a Storyteller in a way, creating the Story of Miles Edgeworth’s tragedy and patricide. 

And in that ‘Story’, Phoenix was a minor character at best. He was just an ordinary kid who knew Miles for a few months in fourth grade, He’s not tied in with the Family Drama, he doesn't have any obvious special talents or anything. From any outsider's perspective on Miles' whole life, there's no reason to think his 4th Grade Best Friend would by in any way Important for anything but Tragic Flasbacks. But Phoenix put himself into that narrative. For him, Miles’ kindness and friendship for these few months of childhood are just as important as anything in Manfred’s Story.

He got himself into law and shoved himself right into Miles Edgeworth’s story despite how ridiculous it all is. And so, even as Manfred disregarded him as just yet another unimportant interchangeable Defense Attorney to be crashed under his heel - didn’t even remember his name and face- Phoenix was still the one to defeat him. Even as Manfred left the courtroom still cursing Edgeworth’s name - Phoenix has made himself, by choice, into the Hero of that Story. 

Miles and Maya would be Main Characters in anything related to the DL-6 mess whatever they’d like to or not, it’s just tied-up so heavily into their life and their traumas. Phoenix is the one who chose to be a Main Character in that Story. 

And that’s something that kind of repeats with a lot of the narratives Phoenix gets into. Because he’s, like, the one AA character without a Dramatic Backstory outside of the Class Trial, Phoenix is usually either playing backup to the real main characters of the narrative - or once again, making himself the Main Character out of sheer determination and love and desire to help others and choice. 

And doing it again in PLvsPW, establishing that he and Maya butted into both the Storyteller and Darklaw’d Stories just because they were both driven and curious and kind and wanted to help Espella so bad… that’s just perfect, especially for a story all about Stories that’s just perfect.

The thing that I keep thinking about is the few times AA has Stories that are definitively about Phoenix without him butting in or stumbling into someone else’s Story. ‘Justice for All’ is one, but it doesn’t really have a Grand Overarching Narrative. It’s more of a Phoenix Wright Character Study via a series of vignettes. The AA game that really has Phoenix at the center of a Story is ‘Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney’.

To continue the PLvsPW metaphor, AJAA is really the game between a bunch of rival Storytellers - PLvsPW had Arthur Vs. Evelyn, AJAA has Kristoph Vs Phoenix. Kristoph weaved a Story with Phoenix’s downfall at its center - and Phoenix waited until he had the chance to return the favor. I mean, I dunno, maybe my metaphor is a touch stretched but… Hobonick really is the closest thing to the Storyteller in the mainline AA games. The final AJAA case is almost literally him ‘designing’ a trial for his own purposes.

And the interesting thing is how controlling and railroading he is as a Storyteller figure. For someone who’s based his own entire damn life on defying the Stories and plans of others, he really does not let his own ‘Main Characters’ - least of all Apollo - that same sort of metanarrative agency.

Edgeworth investigates Phoenix and Maya's disappearance. Hope you enjoy these. If you want more of maya's polaroids you can go here.

A prequel of sorts inspired by Room Service by @oodlyenough

I’m pretty sure the Ace Attorney Wiki removed ‘Professor Layton Vs Ace Attorney’ off its Timeline because officially it’s not, like, fully canon to either series. And while that’s technically accurate, I can’t help but feel that’s kind of a shame...

Because originally, the AA Wiki had PLvsAA take place right around here.

Midway through T&T, some time between the end of 'the Stolen Turnabout' at mid September/October (it's September in the original Japanese but changed to October during the Localization cause they didn't want one of the major dates for the case to be September 11th) and the start of 'Recipe for Turnabout' at December. The AA Wiki used to say that 'Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright' happened sometime in that 2-3 month stretch.

Most importantly, right around the time of the actual murder of Glen Elg and Maggey’s first trial that Recipe for Turnabout is actually a retrial of.

Like, the one where Tigre impersonated Phoenix to intentionally get Maggey found guilty. And Phoenix somehow didn't know about it until Gumshoe rushed into his office pissed like a full month later.

And I just love the Concept that, like, the in-universe canonical explanation as to how Phoenix didn’t even notice someone was impersonating him and spoiling his reputation by intentionally losing an important trial while it was still happening is “he went on a Lawyer Exchange in England and then forced into a Secret British Government LARP for like a week”

On the other hand it would also make it Twice in One Year that Phoenix thought Maya was dead…..

Perler Witches' Court

I had a bunch of beads left over after making an AA courtroom in Perler form, so I decided to make a Witches' Court version :)

(Beware implied PLvPW spoilers below!)

As with the previous post, the mainline AA characters were adapted from this Pixel art template by cronchy_croissant on Reddit, although the PL and crossover characters are my own designs. I'll post the templates I made in a follow-up post <3
