My sister convinced me to make this channel. Honestly though, I'm kinda enjoying it. This is a game play only channel. Please don't expect a
Here's my YouTube channel! It's random gaming videos/series that I'll make.
Honestly I'm mostly doing this for myself cause I strangely find doing this a lot of fun. So even if I only get one subscriber, I will keep posting. 😁😊
Wait, the Ace Attorney games are functioning under a jury system post-AA-AJ, that means people can get called for jury duty now, imagine Phoenix or Edgeworth getting called on for jury duty, imagine them getting called for jury duty on the same trial-!!!
Edgeworth just arrives at the courthouse and people are like, “Oh, didn’t know you were prosecuting a case today?” and he replies, “No, I’m on jury duty,” and this sense of doom just starts rising, because this just went from Normal Trial to Hard Mode, the Chief Prosecutor is watching, Be Prepared.
Then, five minutes before it’s too late, Phoenix comes bursting in, apologizing and shedding papers, and the Judge is all, “Mr. Wright, I take it that there was a last minute change in the defense?” and Phoenix goes, “Nope, jury duty!” And everyone stares at him. Then turns to look at where Edgeworth is already seated in the jury box. Back to Phoenix. Oh no.
It just gets worse when they realize there’s only one empty chair left in the jury box, it’s right next to Edgeworth, this trial is going to go so wrong, it’s going to get so weird, everyone knows it, no one’s saying it, one of the aids is quietly crying into their hands, the Judge is texting his wife to let her know he’s probably going to be late for supper, and the reporter who got sent to cover today’s trial on the off-chance there’d be something good has the biggest smile, because shit’s about to go down and it’s gonna be amazing.
@yoshifawful64
They’re absolutely going to end up solving the entire case just by arguing amongst themselves. The actual prosecutor and defence attorney get completely forgotten (even by themselves) for, like, the entire last hour of the trial, everyone’s just captivated by Nick and Edgeworth’s debate.
XD XD XD Absolutely yes!
#yeah they could’ve just become the new lawyers #but it’s funnier if they just have the whole argument whole argument while still on the jury bench
This trial’s going to go down in history books, the actual defense and prosecution are just gesturing at each other and making triumphant or ‘beat that’ expressions whenever Edgeworth or Phoenix draw ahead until finally they just get caught up in it as well, and it’s always an amazing show when the two of them get going, and segments of it are shown in every legal course for at least the next decade under the description of “How not to handle having other lawyers in the jury.” ;D

Ace Attorney/Good Omens fusion, but Phoenix is the demon and Edgeworth is the angel - the original Devil’s Advocate and one of the ‘Wrathful Fist of God’-type angels. Phoenix didn’t so much Fall as ‘Tripped At Exactly The Wrong Moment,’ and Edgeworth’s so freaking jaded but he Refuses to let this affect his job performance. He punishes the guilty and technically Phoenix should be tempting the innocent but he’s busy defending them instead because otherwise they’re not really doing the whole “opposite, opposing forces” thing properly. In reality, Phoenix got sent up top because he’s an embarrassment of a demon and the rest of the Fallen like to ignore his existence as much as possible.
Edgeworth’s constantly low-key peeved because people meeting them for the first time keep guessing wrong about who’s the angel and who’s the demon because he is so angelic, it’s not his fault modern imagery tends to focus on only one type of angel, and Phoenix thinks the whole thing is super funny.
Also in this Phoenix’s hairstyle hides his horns, they’re snuck in with the other spikes, you can only tell they’re there if his hair gets wet because they’re the only parts that don’t droop when they get wet.
And maybe Crowley and Aziraphale are there too, and just… bemused at this weird pair of slightly younger agents of earth who have managed to get themselves all tangled up in the legal system and an Arrangement of their own somehow.
Phoenix has been ‘trapped’ in so many arrays and diagrams by people who want to sacrifice an angel to their dark lord, he usually hangs around for a bit, then just walks out of the circle when he gets bored and tells them to reconsider their life choices. Sometimes Edgeworth shows up partway through and Phoenix has to prevent anyone from getting smote.
“If we leave them alive they can learn from this situation and grow to be better people!”
“They tried to kill an angel, they deserve punishment!!!”
“Fine, I’ll report them to the police, will that make you happy?”
“No!”
“Too bad, that’s all you’re getting.”
Then Edgeworth fusses over him for an hour and makes him drink tea and Phoenix lets him fuss and pretends that he’s not turning the tea into grape juice as he drinks it.
“You’ve adopted a child.”
“Well, I mean-”
“You’ve adopted a human child.”
“She’s just so-”
“Phoenix, in case you have forgotten, you are a demon, you can’t just… go around adopting things! It’s not done!”
The demon in question pouted at him. “Aw, why not? Trucy’s amazing, and her dad vanished on her under my watch - I’d feel bad if I just left her. Besides, you’re in no position to lecture me about adopting, you’ve got, like, at least six humans.”
Miles bristled, and had his wings been out they would likely have been distinctly ruffled. “First of all, I’m not a demon, I’m an angel, it would be different if I were to undertake such a matter, we’re expected to be charitable.”
“If by ‘charitable’ you mean ‘trigger-happy with the smoting,’ sure.”
“SECOND,” Miles continued, glowering at him, “I most certainly have not taken in any humans - I maintain a professional distance at all times!”
This earned him an entirely unimpressed look, and Phoenix began to count off on his fingers, “Kay Faraday, Dick Gumshoe, Klavier Gavin, Sebastian DeBeste, Franziska von Karma, Ema Skye-”
“Ngh! I did not adopt those people, Phoenix Wright, they are work colleages! Nothing more!”
“Franziska calls you ‘little brother’ all the time,” Phoenix pointed out with a smirk, “And anyways, Trucy’s gonna fit in just fine - you know she actually figured out what I am the first time we met? She noticed my horns - nobody ever notices my horns! And, get this,” he leaned in close, cupping a hand to his mouth, “I think she might be actual magic, because I have no idea how she does half the stuff she does, it’s amazing!”
OoOoOoOoO
“Crowley? Could you be a dear and talk to yours? Miles has been face-down on my sofa for a week now just mumbling about Phoenix, and I’m beginning to grow a little concerned.”
“Deal with it yourself, angel, I’ve got bigger problems - mine’s adopted a kid, if you can believe it!”
“Oh.”
“Yeah.”
“…that actually sounds rather nice. Crowley, what if we-”
“Absolutely not.”
The reason Phoenix and Miles get into human law in this is Manfred’s fault - Phoenix has been caught in the wrong binding circles so many times, but Miles has gotten caught in the right one once, and that was because Manfred got the idea that if he bound Miles to his will, he could ensure that his legacy and style of prosecution lived on forever. The ‘loophole’ was that if Miles ever lost a case, the binding would break. But, like, that’s never gonna happen, ‘cause if a wrathful-fist-of-God-style angel says you’re guilty of something, then you’re guilty of it.
And that’s how Phoenix ended up on Mia’s doorstep going, “Yeah, I need to become a lawyer to save a friend, you’ve come closer than anyone else to beating him, teach me your skills, please.” (big, soulful brown Phoenix eyes)
And stuff accidentally gets set in motion so that Mia doesn’t die, but Maya still probably gets implicated for murder (because that’s just how Maya’s life works), and Phoenix and Maya work together to save Miles because Diego wakes up several years early and Mia was told he’d literally never wake up again so she’s kinda seriously distracted at the moment, and one of the first things Miles does when he gets free of Manfred’s hold is side-eye Phoenix super hard about Diego ‘miraculously’ waking up like that.
Phoenix: No, but see, I healed him so that I could get her out of my way and take over the case myself, which makes it a totally selfish act! Plus, it sets events in motion for, like, lust and stuff! Really evil, very demon! And Diego’s got, like, all these nasty side-effects from the poison, which are going to lead to lots of suffering!
Miles: …you’ve set events in motion for her to end up in an incredibly healthy, happy three-way relationship with her old paramour and Lana Skye while also continuing a successful career in law that positively touches thousands of lives in one way or another, instead of dying early and leaving a swathe of pain and suffering resulting in several more deaths in her wake. Diego’s going to grow into a stronger, better person as the result of his trials instead of becoming a twisted caricature of his former self. Lana Skye will gain several immensely strong allies, as well as the love of her life and an excellent friend instead of remaining trapped as someone’s unwilling puppet. You probably just upset at least half a dozen carefully-laid demonic plans that have been years in the making, and you did it to save an angel.
Phoenix: …oops?
And then Miles and Phoenix are stuck practicing law until they can figure out a way to neatly fade back into the background because they made the newspapers a whole bunch with this whole fiasco and events go wildly off-course from how they did in the AA games, and, again, oops.
(Also, for why Miles knows all this stuff about how things would have worked out, Hastur and his compatriot both seemed to know an awful lot about the people they carefully tempted in the beginning of Good Omens, so I’m going with the idea that angels and demons have this sort of knowledge available to them to a certain extent. Plus, I love the idea of Phoenix going “I’m just gonna heal this one guy, nobody’ll notice, it’ll be fine” and ruining so many evil plans in the process.)

Okay, I know we all give Phoenix a hard time for defending an orca (which he deserves, chaos beast that he is), but, like… there’s also the fact that Simon Blackquill had to prosecute an orca. And Edgeworth, chief prosecutor that he is, had to be notified this was happening and then assign the case to one of his prosecutors. And he chose Simon. Just… imagine that conversation. Imagine it.
Edgeworth: Prosecutor Blackquill, here’s the file with your new trial.
Simon: Hmph, I suppose I can find time to- wait. (opens file, scans it, slowly looks back up) Edgeworth-dono… are you out of your damned mind?
Edgeworth: You’ll have to investigate around the aquarium. They have a penguin exhibit.
Simon: Come Taka, Fool Bright, we have work to do!
Also, I like to think that, by the time he becomes chief prosecutor, Edgeworth is just… enured to the madness. He’s been friends with Phoenix for the better part of a decade, he’s been through the crazy events of AAI 1 and 2, he’s tripped over more dead bodies than is statistically probable… He’s still passionate about truth and justice and rooting out corruption, but just about everything that happens, he’s got a ‘reminds me of the time’ story for. Athena’s being held hostage? Oh yeah, Maya was held hostage once by a professional assassin. We’re bringing possession and spirit mediums into court? That’s nice, tell them to say hi to Mia when they’re done, and also tell the crazy red-head to stay away. Someone’s boss/mentor/father turned out to be corrupt and also a murderer? Hoo boy, the stories he could tell.
I think the most telling comparison for how chill he’s gotten about all this is that time a dog stole his jabot when he was twenty and he went running after it and fell on his face, versus Khura’in where he’s just standing there, a small dog literally dangling from his ruffles, and just,
This is the face of a man who has been through some crazy shit and just high-key doesn’t care anymore, could we just focus on the investigation, please, he’s got paperwork to do after this.
you’re missing the best part though: simon WILLINGLY took the case. simon blackquill saw a case that everyone else said “no this is stupid,” and said “fuck YES i will prosecute this whale. Fuck You.”
^This is so much better than any response I could think of to the section above it.
@downtroddendeity also added the most AMAZING bit of headcanon to this:
i choose to believe blackquill’s thought process was:, 1) i like penguins, 2) orcas eat penguins, 3) hell yeah i’ll prosecute an orca.

What if it bites me and it dies?
that means you’re poisonous. jesus christ, nate, learn to read.
What if it bites itself and I die?
It’s voodoo.
What if it bites me and someone else dies?
That’s correlation, not causation.
what if we bite each other and neither of us die
that’s kinky

I FOUND THE POST
important PSA about when your car is smoking
like literally smoking from the engine
white and you smell pancakes? it’s the coolant. panic and pull over, but you’ll live
a slight blue tinge? it’s the oil. panic and pull over, but you’ll live
grey, looks like fire smoke? gasoline; the most combustable and dangerous. pull over and leave the vehicle, pray.
sharing because i didn’t know this when my car started smoking white yesterday and i was so afraid for my life.
Reblogging because a dear friend of my Moms with mechanic experience told me the same thing when I got my license.
White or blue, you’ll pull through. But if it’s gray, get away.
This post saved me a lot of money in car repairs this week
PSA to make sure that you're always feeding your bird an appropriate and nutritious diet, even if that means rethinking their current one!
