I'm not even a narumitsu girly, but if you're doing the sun/moon pair thing with them and making edgeworth the moon, then i think you might find intrigue in rethinking that. like. if you want the one who hangs on to his convictions so tightly it burns and blinds everyone, even himself, to its effects, that's edgeworth. if you want the one who isn't afraid of slipping into shadows and wandering in the darkness while still holding onto his own glow, regardless of how dim or clouded that may seem to an outsider, that's phoenix. if you want the one whose driving force to doing anything is the pursuit of truth, metaphorically running and always moving towards the light, that's edgeworth. if you want the one whose motivation for fighting is to defend those who cannot defend themselves, a reflection of the injustice that exists in the world, that's phoenix. edgeworth's suit is a blazing, fiery red. phoenix's suit is a deep cool blue. the prosecutor's badge is all sharp edges, shaped like a star. the defence attorney's badge is a rounded flower, concaved like a cup. phoenix has been saved by and swallowed the light of two people in his life, giving it back to the world as his own, an alteration of what was gifted, and one of them was edgeworth.
manfred von karma and beanix are narrative foils, actually.
so, this is a parallel that drives me INSANE as a parallel lover but i see no one talk about it.
(this is a long post, so put on your seatbelt)
think of an attorney with a win record. always crushing the opposition, even if their methods may be slightly unhinged. something happens. they say the evidence is forged. (manfred was unaware of the is-7 forgery, phoenix didn't know about the diary page) a father leaves the courtroom and a kid is left behind. and that attorney takes the kid wreathed in red(ooh colour symbolism) looking like a copy of their father in. am i talking about manfred and miles after dl-6 or beanix and trucy after zak disappears?
they also both have a defense attorney nemesis. gregory and kristoph are direct opposites. one calls out forged evidence to stop von karma. one is the reason the forged evidence was there in the first place.
also manfred and beanix both have their main colours be grey and light blue. i do not think this is a coincidence. colours in ace attorney are a pretty big thing but i digress.
also the case that leads to this is ultimately solved by thier protege. the kid they mentor. is-7 by miles. wearing red, and the disbarrement plus the misham trial and all that by apollo, wearing red.
but they are also opposites.
von karma cares for perfection. he does anything to be perfect. even training a parrot. because he would cross examine a parrot if it meant he could win. he becomes a man obsessed with perfection. that one implusive moment almost ruined him. if he had just let it go he wouldn't have been indicted for dl-6. but he tries to frame miles. and the legal system finds definitive evidence he did it. they would never have found that if he shut his trap.
phoenix cares about justice. justice for all. matt engarde. he doesnt let the guilty get away with it. he actually follows what von karma pretended to. and instead to being impulsive after the disbarment, he plans. there's no definite evidence so he changes the law so he doesn't need it. he uses a hat camera to zoom into kristophs boobs.
also the kids they adopt they treat differently. von karma can't help but to treat miles like miles edgeworth. he can't stop seeing his own faults in him. he can't stop seeing his own guilt reflected back in the boy. phoenix sees trucy and is like ah so i have daughter. i love her so much. trucy is still a magician. she gets to follow her childhood dream. unlike miles who is so crushed with the weight of what von karma did that he can't bear to be a defense attorney. the situation of yanni yogi going free disillusioned him from the idea defense attorneys were good, but trucy helped her dad (zak) with the magic show and subsequent disappearance and yet still found it in herself to love magic. miles never changes his last name . he's still intrinsically linked with gregory.
trucy changes her last name.
phoenix is the father that stayed. he lets her be a magician and a performer but she doesn't have to perform for him. he's accused of murder. like her other father. this time trucy doesn't make him disappear.
also random thing. phoenixs badge is on his shoulder/heart kinda area. its taken from him. leaving a gaping hole. rather like a bullet id say.
Excited to finally share this sweet comic I drew for the @aa-spring-swap event! This is my piece for @ashtonisvibing who requested something fluffy and either fall or winter themed with Trucy, Phoenix, and Edgeworth. I added Pess in because I love her, hope that's ok <3
[Image description:
Phoenix Wright, Trucy Wright, and Miles Edgeworth stand in the front hall of Miles’s house bundling up to go outside in the snow. The front hall is in cozy warm shades with a red carpet. A sepia photo of Gregory Edgeworth hangs on the wall. Phoenix wears an insulated jacket over his sweatshirt, Trucy wears a light blue puffer jacket with pink heart pockets and fluffy fur on the hood. She has bright pink snow boots with fur trim. Miles wears a medium grey peacoat, tall snow boots, and a red scarf.
Phoenix pets Pess, a white borzoi, while Trucy holds her leash. He says “Oh boy oh boy oh boy, are we going outside? Is it time for outside?” Miles is unamused and says “Wright, what on earth are you going on about.” Phoenix replies “It’s not me, it’s Pess talking.” He switches back into his dog voice. “Yesyes I want to play in the snow! And track my muddy paw print all over the house for Phoenix to clean up! Oh boy!” Trucy laughs. Miles holds the door open for her and Pess while turning to Phoenix. “That is NOT while she sounds like.” He adds “Careful on the ice, Miss Trucy.” Trucy is yanked into the blue-toned outdoors by Pess and yells “AAAAH slow down girl!” Phoenix says “Fine, you give her a voice then”
The color palette shifts to blues and pinks. Miles crosses his arms, embarrassed, and says “...I’m not doing a voice, Phoenix.” Phoenix nonchalantly pulls on his beanie and says “Fine. Trucy, what do YOU think Pess would sound like?” Trucy brings her gloved hands to her cheeks and says “Oh! I know!” She wraps her arms around Pess and does a bad German accent “Alo Papa, zis is Pess speaking, your most beloved fraulein! I am a leetle German doggy!”” Phoenix bursts out laughing while Edgeworth looks horrified. “ACK. Her accent… Did you put her up to this?!” Phoenix says “Nah, she’s that funny all on her own.” Trucy continues “Oh mein gott Papa, zis is ze most wunderbar day, is it not? Let us come and frolic together in the snow, ja?” /End ID]
