extra info abt blog owner under cut :3
idk that this doesn't warrant actual discussion, I will yap about it anyway. the mafuyu-tsukasa parallels are interesting because as their stories progress, they are almost opposites in terms of how they develop. mafuyu slowly learns that she does not need to perform a role in order to be valued and to be real (most emphasized in 'theater', the mafu4 song, aka 'farewell my mask'). meanwhile, we slowly uncover tsukasa's belief that he has to perform a role (possibly even overperform) in order to be remembered.
the thing is that I am starting to act like mafuyu and I am aware of it (uncomfortable lyricism, deadpan words in privacy, compliance, the general feeling of emptiness, taking on different names online to try to find herself), but because I am different from her in the REASON why we are similar (hers is because of years of family pressure, mine is not), I see her as yet another person to save from herself the way I had to save so many others in the past before, and not someone who I can see myself in
yapping abt kasa7 below
I think kasa7 hits different because it's the difference between imagining and reliving
for both kasa3 and kasa6, tsukasa was imagining an abstract scenario. in kasa3, it was the feeling of being unable to reach a goal and catch up to someone's achievements. in kasa6, it was the despair of no one needing or wanting wandasho's shows, no one even daring to seek happiness.
they're heavy, yes, and the emotions that tsukasa delivers in his characters through these imagined scenarios are very much real. however, they are still relatively simple to leave behind. after all, for as real as the tears are, their causes are still fictional.
but kasa7 is different. he's not taking this abstract idea of being forgotten. he's not imagining a 'what if'. he is actively being led to relive something that he had already buried. being forgotten, wanting to not be alone, wanting to be unforgettable - this is very much real for him.
that's why it hurts more. that's why I think this is more impactful. because yes, this was still in the context of an acting role, but I don't think tsukasa's panic and general feeling of being crushed was a careful move to act in character. I think he was far beyond acting at that point.
I know that this fandom is like. project sekai complain stage and all (at least on tiktok, that is), but don't throw tomatoes at me when I say that I'm grateful that this is actually being addressed as a part of tsukasa's character. now, what I would like to see is how this affects wxs. how would it affect emu's wish to see her world, and especially her friends, smiling? how would it affect nene, who also has similar dreams of being a successful musical actress globally? how would it affect rui, who has to balance between being a professional director for the sake of putting on a good show, and a concerned friend that puts his friends above all?
so yeah. I like kasa7. I will be waiting for its EN drop.
What a wonderful piece of media! Surely the fandom will be literate and normal
IM SO STUPIDDDD I MADE THIS SIDEBLOG SPECIFICALLY SO I DONT HAVE TO POST ON MAINNNNN
yes. littlelav107 is indeed my main. can't undo that reveal now bc i literally already made the cflux post
flux's character in ish's 1000 players rich vs poor experiment actually really fascinates me
oh and by the way I really do wish to watch the rest of the kings arc (I haven't even watched the blindfold brothers video of flame's training arc and onward) and I SWEAR I'll do it AFTER the horrors
(the horrors being: three live assessments next week, one project due this week, four activities/projects due next week, and next week is also exam week so that's seven exams)
alright since I started off talking about edgeworth, I might as well talk about the von karmas
ok lol this isn't discourse this isn't a hot take! this is just me saying that I like imagining the von karma household with some sort of nuance and overlapping layers!
I don't think I can imagine mvk as just. plain obvious evil. don't get me wrong - it does happen in real life (and I feel horrible about it. I really do). however, with the way fran seemed to genuinely love her papa (especially in the anime, though I know that is non-canon), I think there's more to it
I want to imagine that mvk is...unpredictable, and inconsistent. he would be the first to try to get to know fran and her interests (who else would have supported her path to prosecuting at thirteen, if mvk didn't support her using his connections?). but at the same time, he probably would also be the first to lash out at edgeworth and his 'weakness'. except that's in a weird gray area too, because I think mvk would support edgeworth being a prosecutor as well. he wouldn't withhold that as a "you don't deserve this". rather, he would guide (that's the closest word I could think of) him along that road.
I write this mainly for franziska, to be honest.
I'm imagining her position as an older sister figure (given that I am also an older sister to one younger brother). I'm imagining the conflict she would feel about mvk especially post 1-4 - on one hand lies the man who has supported her for her whole life with discussions and tools and everything she needed and wanted to achieve her dream, yet on the other hand lies the man who has brought her little brother down so many times, to the point of killing his biological father fifteen years ago and leaving him to feel guilty about it.
the potential in that! how can you simultaneously love two people who have been against each other for so long?
and this is far more speculative on my part, but I'd think there would be some sort of fear of the conditionality of being a von karma. do you really think mvk wouldn't bring out the "you should be thankful I took you in; I can just as easily kick you out" against edgeworth? and if he did, do you really think fran wouldn't be internally threatened by that? that if her little brother could be kicked out for being just short of perfection, then she could be as well?
like. franziska clearly has a cold exterior, but I genuinely believe she learned that out of the need to protect herself (and edgeworth, if only in her mind). mvk is where she gets the sharp words and on-the-spot rhetoric, both in the sense that he taught her (as a father, in loving moments) and that she had to adapt to the environment he created.
but maybe I'm overanalyzing this - after all, I do see some similarities between my own family and this reading of the von karmas, so this is skirting dangerously close to projection. however, at the same time, I do think it's important to realize that franziska isn't just a whip-happy prosecutor; she's a character of her own with a written past of her own.
thanks for reading if you made it this far ehehhehe!!!
*remembers I made this blog* I headcanon that miles edgeworth has moral ocd
elaborating on this :D here's some good old unorganized screaming about ideas
--
one of miles edgeworth's main characteristics, I think, is that he has to be correct and uphold only what is correct. even as a child, in the class trial, he defends wright because it would be right (pun unintended but recognized), as opposed to accusing him like the rest of the class, which is wrong. their friendship is likely an aftermath, though I don't think edgeworth intended that originally.
from there, I already see the signs of this way of thinking - stick to what is right, never what is wrong. always be correct. so directly after dl-6, I imagine the guilt would hit pretty hard, to say the least. he really did believe that he killed his father AND that he did not get rightfully punished for it (it was mentioned in the aai duology that edgeworth read law books as a child. he would be well aware of the consequences of. yk. killing people.)
getting away with something that great of a magnitude would probably intensify his feeling of having to atone and be right in everything else. it could also motivate his actions - (according to his false memory) he got away with murder (or whatever charge that is, I can rewrite this once I figure out the Californian justice system), so he can't risk letting anyone else get away. he has to uphold what is right. he has to be correct. following this, his perfect streak before 1-2 isn't just because of mvk - he probably would want it for himself.
the most speculative part of this headcanon is the one year gap between aa1 and aa2 (this is also where my mutuals from main might recognize me). the note was decisive and firm - he chose death.
I will not get into the specifics of what choosing death means, for that deserves a post of its own. however, I will say that when he returned, he said that he discovered for himself what being a prosecutor meant. that's where the "why do you stand here?" and "what does it mean to be a prosecutor?" lines came from.
but hold up. why would he be so hellbent on finding out *how* to be a prosecutor? like I know the point of that is to deconstruct what he learned from those 15 years between dl-6 and 1-4, but... I can speculate!
this isn't a very full-fledged analysis but I do think that the obsession on being correct (even over perfection!) can hint to moral ocd. I've upcoming classes rn so I could further fix this later but for now do have this!
hi! having thoughts about rui kamishiro and the experiences of choosing solitude over the risk of having your unhinged but well-meaning ideas rejected, directly or indirectly
oh btw current interests include
unstable smp (I'll catch up to it I swear (entered the fandom in s2)), fav character flamefrags
ace attorney (it's been a while since I watched playthroughs tho. if you wish me to analyze something especially in second trilogy I will have to rewatch that), fav character miles edgeworth with the fey sisters on the podium
pjsk (allow me to at least watch all openings! so far I've only watched wxs because I genuinely just installed like. a few weeks ago), fav character rui but emu is UP THERE. I have fic ideas for her
hetalia (but I might have more takes on fanbase interpretation than actual canon. this isn't a bad thing! I commend the fanbase for finding depth where it appeared impossible!)
*remembers I made this blog* I headcanon that miles edgeworth has moral ocd
once I find the time I swear I'll watch every video within uusmp kings arc to see how lettuce's character parallels real life examples of such "kings"
wait.
if Lettuce becomes King, he promises he would execute Wemmbu. Only problem: he doesn’t have Wemmbu anymore.
but he’s still gotta execute SOMEBODY right??? I mean that’s what he promised, who would want a King who doesn’t keep his promises??? So, Lettuce needs to either Capture Wemmbu again (unlikely), or find someone else to execute. and he just so happens to have a certain pirate king in his custody right now…
oh this is definitely interesting and I see it happening! after all, if he executes that certain pirate king,
it would show how powerful lettuce really is. in some way, that was the point of the promise of executing someone. for as long as lettuce gets to show power and strength, it should not matter who dies!
(forgive me if this is inaccurate, my memory fails me quite a bit) the pirates were at some point seen as formidable, similar to wemmbu currently. so yk, being able to execute their leader would have the same effect of taking down a huge force
yeah it's definitely feasible to me
