Félix: kidnapping is a love language Kagami: you have no social skills, idiot

*two weeks later*

Félix: okay, so when Marinette's at her most vulnerable, I'll gaslight her into thinking I'm her boyfriend, so she'll follow me into an abandoned building where we can put her in an altered mental state and present to her my family's life story in the imaginable most cryptic play of theater she has ever seen, which will reveal to her our horrible secret and the fact that her abusive father-in-law is also her arch-nemesis Kagami: you're so big brained, bae 🥰

#I LOVE THEM BUT GOD THAT WAS THE LEAST SELF-EXPLANATORY WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS #fucking theater kids /lh #miraculous ladybug #ml spoilers #ml representation #ml representation spoilers #maybe they do team up nicely with Marinette because can ever be simple sfdgdfhgjfhg #I'm so pumped for the final ohmygodddd #also did you know I wrote a story in highschool where the son of the villain revealed his family's true nature to the MC #in a cryptic fairy tale. where he assigned his father as the evil prince who moved into the king's family and married the pricess #who ended up comatose and waiting for revival? #the moral of the story is we're all insane here and I cannot believe I literally wrote 30k about this #and not have the gall to diss on feligami they are the MVPs fgdhjdfhgfjgk #also props for being so much more useful going about this whole thing than Luka <3

I really admire the scum villain fandom for surviving this long through sheer willpower and delusion alone

#svsss #scum villains self saving system #mxtx #everyday i wish i read the books back in 2021 when the fandom was at its all time high #but honestly its been a good time nonetheless #we may be suffering in content famine but #yeah theres no buts #fanwork goes hard though we're out here self sustaining

any other uk people wanna come scream in a field with me over the state of the government

#banning trans women from women's hospital wards despite there being ZERO complaints from anyone about it #it's all just such blatant 'hey look at how we're quashing this villain we just made up' to distract from the horrible mess they're making #in literally every area #talking #uk politics

Been reading some takes on the emasculation of Jonathan and erasure of the suitors in adaptations because they draw focus away from Big Daddy Alpha Dracula and it just makes me feel a way... This is a book about Mina but it is also about men and these many very different ways to be a Good Man from Jonathan who is meek but kind and honest and true, Quincey who is reckless but loyal and brave, Seward who is melancholy and at times arrogant in his intellect but also absolutely determined to use his knowledge to help, heal and understand others...

And then you have Dracula, who is at his core a selfish monster, who preys on the weak, who abuses women and turns them into his slaves, who takes advantage of and subsequently discards the poor and ill.

Here we have a clear cut dichotomy between positive and toxic masculinity in full display, honestly STILL a timely story to be told over a century later. And yet everybody makes the story about sexy hot alpha male Dracula and then creates a half-baked good-bad dichotomy between the two women instead.

#Dracula #Dracula Daily #Dracula Spoilers #Stories #Meta #Dracula is over a hundred years old and we're STILL SEEING this focus on irredeemable villains and making them sexy and palatable #at the expense of the heroes #and then completely throw the women under the bus to further service their villain's narrative; make Lucy BAD and that's why he hurt her #and Mina is GOOD and that's why he loves her #it's all about him

So Aaravos' parallels to Rayla is being a banished elf separated from her family; for Callum, it's being a mage who went too far likely out of desperation to save loved ones; and for Ezran, it's an inability to ultimately let go and relinquish your anger and hatred towards the people who have taken them from you.

Ngl I really love fanfics ability to have the most random and inexplicable stuff happen and just go 'right? Yes, moving on' and not ever have to explain or address it ever again.

Everywhere else? Lazy writing, plot hole, etc. Fanfic? Yea boi that's why we're here!!

#This is because of the time travel fics yeah #Also the de-aging fics #So little explanation required we all know why we're reading them and it's not for the realistic world building #This goes all the way from 'this grown man is a child now' to 'medieval canon has chat fic' and 'villain got struck by lightning' #It's just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and I love it. #fanfic #fanfiction #fandom #ao3 fanfic #ao3 memes #ao3 #ao3 funny #ao3 stuff #ao3 writer #fanfics

day 1383 of thinking about how two of the biggest characters in mha get canonically groomed into adulthood and it's just hardly addressed

#THEY REALLY SAID 'YEAH HAWKS WAS TAKEN BY THE HERO COMMISSION AT AGE 7 AND THE ONLY THING WE KNOW #ABOUT THEIR TRAINING METHODS IS THAT IT WAS ENOUGH FOR LADY NAGANT TO LITERALLY GO CRAZY AND KILL THE PRESIDENT' #HELLO.

HE'S LITERALLY TWENTY #HE SHOULVE BEEN AT THE CLUUBBBBBB #BUT YEAH IT'S FINE OFC MAKE HIM THE VILLAIN AND ACT LIKE HE'S EVIL INCARNATE. THAT'S FINE #and afo now taking control of his BODY. this has to be a metaphor for something you cant do this to me it's so sick and twisted #i feel NAUSEAS over this stupid fucking anime #anyway i just saw an edit of shigaraki and hawks to put me in a movie by lana del rey. will be throwing up promptly #mha #tomura shigaraki #hawks #mha spoilers

Literally cannot stop thinking about the implications of Shen Yuan being the only homophobic person in all of SV like imagine growing up your entire life having no idea what homophobia is and seeing this powerful guy suddenly undergo a personality change that makes him nicer but also makes him think that gay marriage is illegal and then you look behind him and he's seduced like 12 different men somehow

#i dont think mxtx intended this in any way at all but i just think it would be so funny to imagine binghe who has never heard of homophobia #in his life developing a crush on his shizun and everyone thinks the gay part is the least weird thing about it but sqq is so hung up on it #for some reason and you have no idea why . like what even #lbh: shizun do you think we can't be together because we're guys? sqq: no its just. we shouldnt be able to marry #lbh: ??? but we can? sqq: but we shouldnt!! lbh: do you not want to?? sqq: no! i do but!! lbh: ???? #svsss #scumbag self saving system #shen qingqiu #sqq #scum villain's self saving system #shen yuan

I'm still a kipperlily apologist actually. Why are we starting the episode talking about how she's been in counselling since freshman year. Maybe after 3 years you should've counselled her better tf

#something is immensely wrong and has BEEN wrong. she absolutely needs help #but shes like 17. its not like shes fuckin innately evil or something. shes still younger than Ragh and Aelwyn were in season 1 #if Aelwyn can have stans so can Kipperlily #i just think it would be fucked up to do all this talking about her struggle with anger issues (and the fact that she's been seeking help) #since she was 14 and have that be it. like oh yeah she was just evil already. like surely thats not how this works #surely when brennan's been having so many of the bad kids embrace rage and has set up Ankarna to be maybe a victim hes not gonna like #villain typecast the kid who's been seeking help since her freshman year. surely we're not doing “anger issues mean you're evil” #kipperlily copperkettle #d20 #fantasy high #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #you know what YES im tagging this

[mikaila-orchard]

Considering the parting of ways with Lily and KP, I guess you're not a mod in her discord server anymore?

Oh hell no. I dipped the moment KP pulled that shit and I haven't looked back.

Fun fact about all that btw

KP KNEW about all these 'allegations'. We literally talked about it in a podcast abuse and dedicated harassment. We went over how easy it is to rouse a 'trans woman bad' bandwagon, to the point where it's literally baked into the campaign promises of conservative politicians.

KP only gave a shit about these allegations when they got in the way of her slinging shit at VivziePop. And even before then, she only interacted with Lily insofar as it would boost her platform. Like she was nakedly transparent about that even then, but we let it slide.

But then after diminishing returns and randos on twitter slinging 'whataboutisms' at her over Vivzie, suddenly being associated with Lily was a liability. Nevermind the fact that the video made by those goons was taken down because their 'triumvirate' fell the fuck apart. Nevermind the fact that the person who made these accusations openly confessed to doing the same heinous shit but 'it's totally different'. It effected her PR and that's all she cares about.

She's a fucking flake who only considers what will further her career which was already diminishing long before all this.

If KP ever makes a video about my wife, you'll know she's only doing it to get attention and notoriety.

#personal #I am fuming #I worked for that fucking woman #Lily and I stood by her while she was onset by hate mobs accusing her of slave labor #And she was barely a fair weather friend #all she cared about was promos and collabs #and of course we're going to be framed as the villains for being mad about all thise #while she's just going to say how 'disappointed' she is by the circumstances #cuz she couldn't even openly comdemn JK Rowling in the FUCKING VIDEO WE DID TOGETHER ABOUT HER BEHAVIOR TOWARDS TRANS WOMEN!\ #And now she's going to try and make another flimsy clickbait video about my wife #I am mad

What the Ace Attorney Villains Could Get Charged With (to the best of my research) (in America laws)

Game Two

!Disclaimer! I know nothing about law take this with a grain of salt I was just bored.

Richard Wellington

Assault and battery - Two cases of both. One when he killed Dustin Prince and the second when he hit Phoenix with the fire extinguisher. Though, depending on whether or not Phoenix saw him coming, he could be innocent of the second assault charge. Not the battery, though. I doubt either would count as aggravated assault, as it was the fall, not the fists, that killed Dustin; though Phoenix's is a bit more uncertain due to the weight of the fire extinguisher and the fact that he's only not dead because he's a freak of nature.

Incrimination - He tried to frame Maggey with the name written in the sand.

Obstruction of justice - Can you say "tampering with the crime scene"?

Theft - He stole Phoenix's phone, even if it wasn't technically his intention. It doesn't really matter, since his own phone was likely regarded as evidence. So, theft no matter how you look at it.

Fraud - So much fraud, seeing as he's a con artist. That's what con artistry is. The textbook definition of fraud, all the time, as a job.

Conspiracy - As he was in a GROUP of con artists, his fraud is conspiratorial in nature.

Second-degree murder - He had the intention to kill or severely injure Dustin, but didn't seem to be thinking about it. Thus, no premeditation.

Computer fraud/abuse - Yes, this is an actual thing. When he deletes the contacts off of Phoenix's phone, he's commiting a crime. Doubly so since his actual intention to delete information off of a piece of evidence during a criminal investigation, which may lead to some transferred intent or something.

Perjury

Morgan Fey (includes crimes from Game 3)

Conspiracy - She plans the murder of Dr. Grey with Ini Miney, in depth. Perhaps the most clear-cut case of conspiracy in the series. Also all KINDS of conspiracy in Bridge to the Turnabout.

Obstruction of justice - She did the tampering of the crime scene in Dr. Grey's murder, hiding and fabricating several pieces of evidence regarding Maya.

Incrimination - You know the deal. Frame-ups are incrimination.

Treason - Depending on how you interpret the government in Kurain, she could be guilty of this by committing crimes against the government. I'm trying to figure out what crime she may have committed trying to usurp Maya and Misty, so I may change this later if I figure out something more accurate.

Corruption - If you don't think treason makes sense, then she definitely committed this, regardless. Even without any monarchy, there would have to be some kind of business model for the spirit channeling, which makes her a business executive of sorts, therefore capable of criminal corruption.

First-degree murder - By proxy, when Ini Miney kills Dr. Grey. They planned it together, after all.

Attempted regicide - This is the closest real life law to describe when she tried to kill Maya due to her status. By proxy, of course. If you don't buy the Feys being some kind of pseudo-monarchy, then this is just attempted murder.

Assault and battery - Three charges, by proxy. One for Dr. Grey, one for the drugging of Maya, and one for Dahlia attacking Maya at Hazakura temple. All are aggravated except for the drugging because knife. It's possible some of the assault charges wouldn't go through due to the fact that Dr. Grey and Maya may not have seen the attacks coming.

Child abuse - Her treatment of Pearl could easily be considered this, particularly in the third game when she tries to trick her into murdering her cousin. That's pretty bad parenting.

Perjury

Acro (Ken Dingling)

First-degree murder - The murder was about as planned as you can get without taking it to its logical extreme Manfred-von-Karma-style. Yes, he intended to murder Regina, but transferal of intent is a thing. I'm honestly not sure if the fact that he was intending to kill a child carries over, but if it does, the punishment would be greater.

Obstruction of justice - A bit of a grey area, but he did hide the murder weapon and burn the cape, so I believe this applies.

Child endangerment - This or a similar charge may apply due to his goal to kill a child, by my best estimation. Even if it doesn't, failure to report suspected child abuse can count as child endangerment, and... well, the basically the whole circus was grooming this sixteen year old girl, so...

Incrimination - Depends if you think his framing of Max became intentional at some point along the way, which, considering the fact that he testified against him, it almost definitely did.

Battery - No assault, actually, since Russel didn't see the statue coming! But still battery. Automatically.

Perjury

Matt Engarde (+ Shelly de Killer, by extent)

Conspiracy - He hired an assassin.

First-degree murder - He hired an assassin.

Burglary - Breaking into a place with the intent of committing a felony. While he didn't do this himself, he had Shelly de Killer do it, and anything a hitman does while carrying out the act they were paid to do is a crime the hirer is also guilty of.

Assault and battery - Given Shelly de Killer suffocated Juan and there were signs of a struggle, this is presumably true. Matt is guilty by proxy. Given that we have no idea what he used to kill him, I have no idea if this is aggravated or not.

Fraud - Shelly de Killer pretended to be a bellboy at the hotel. Matt is guilty by proxy.

Blackmail - The ENTIRE case hinges on blackmail in the form of kidnapping Maya. However, he also takes significant steps towards blackmailing Shelly de Killer, so he may actually have two cases of this on his hands.

Kidnapping - This is a bit of a grey area, since it isn't certain that he directly ordered Shelly de Killer to kidnap Maya and use her to blackmail Phoenix. However, given that she was hidden in his house, he seems to know what happened, and he assists by reminding Phoenix of the situation, it's safe to say this was a conspiratorial crime. He's almost DEFINITELY going to be found guilty of this.

Wiretapping - Hiding hidden cameras in a "gift" for someone, as well as around his private residence... wiretapping for sure. Only if the video included audio, though. If not, it doesn't count.

Incrimination - In the plot twist of the century, he's actually guilty of this through conspiring with Phoenix himself. While he did not directly tell him or formulate and communicate the plan to pin the blame on Adrian at first, he did so later and clarified that this was always his intention. While Phoenix has the defense of being blackmailed at the time and the fact that he didn't actually provide any incriminating testimony (perhaps he's accessory?), Matt likely isn't going to be so lucky.

Invasion of privacy - See: wiretapping. Even if the cameras didn't have audio, they'd still be a huge invasion of privacy.

Taking a hostage - A few different names for this depending on where you are, but the basic principle remains the same. This is a separate crime from kidnapping and blackmail, as neither automatically mean a hostage situation. By proxy; even if he weren't conspiring, Shelly still defines this as part of the duties he was paid for, so the whole hired-felony-committing thing still applies.

False imprisonment - This is also not technically the same as a kidnapping charge. Shelly not only moved Maya to a different location against her will (kidnapping), but he also kept her there (false imprisonment). By proxy.

Perjury
