WHY I SHIP MITSUMAYO AS MUCH AS I DO PHOTOSET ONE PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE I SUCK AT EXPLAINING SHIT

OKAY SO YEAH LOOK like we all know Phoenix and Maya have the perfect A++++++ relationship, and Phoenix can sense when Maya feels like sad and stuff and knows how to cheer her up, but in this case she’s pretty much lost a lot of things, and she’s gone through a lot of shit and he simply cannot fully wrap his head around why she is still putting up a smile and holding back tears.

Now, I know we haven’t gotten much Edgeworth/Maya interactions in these games my tears BUT BUT BUT BUT!!! It could be because Edgeworth’s gone through a lot of shit as well, but he knows Maya is a really strong person even behind all the smiles and klutz. He can understand her feelings at the moment and why she would want to keep up a strong position right now, even though she lost her mother, and Edgeworth knows that as well and acknowledges her strength and just knows that she’s a really smart and wise person looking past burgers and stuff.

OH MY GOD I TOLD YOU I WAS BAD AT EXPLAINING STUFF BUT LET ME EXPLAIN YOU A THING: I SHIP THEM YES I SHIP IT LIKE A MAD WOMAN BUT IT’S BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS REALLY NATURAL AND EASY-GOING RELATIONSHIP. IT’S LIKE EDGEWORTH DOESN’T TRY TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND HER HE JUST DOES. AND EVEN THOUGH IT’S NOT THE SAME KIND OF “SNARK-SNARK-JOKES” RELATIONSHIP THAT SHE HAS WITH NICK IT’S STILL A REALLY NATURAL RELATIONSHIP THEY RESPECT EACH OTHER AND ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHERS’ STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

MOVE ALONG YOU DIDNT SEE ANYTHING

Anytime someone says Maya is just immature and a kid, I want to point them to this scene. She is a smart, strong, and caring woman who does everything she can to support others, even when she’s just lost everything. Maya is incredible.

As for Edgeworth, he probably understands how Maya feels considering they both lost parents in bizarre situations where they felt they were to blame. Maya probably has some guilt since she was the intended target. Just as Edgeworth feels guilty for throwing that gun at his father and believing for all those years that he was the murderer.  The guilt probably still lingers, since he’s had it for so long.

I think it’s interesting that these two have so much in common, even down to growing up without their loving parent they did know, never knowing their other parent, and being raised by a strict surrogate who did not have their best interests at heart. Edgeworth copes by being serious, keeping to himself, and burying himself in his career. Maya copes by smiling, acting positive even when she doesn’t feel that way, and being silly. Here we see opposite coping mechanisms to similar emotional stresses.

And I find it interesting that Phoenix gravitates towards both of them. Like Phoenix just HAS to adopt hurt people into his life. (Which he will do once again with Trucy). I bet Phoenix was the type of kid who would bring stray animals home all the time, wanting to give them a home.

The thing about Persuasion that just kills me is that the central premise— “I hope the person who broke my heart has a miserable life and I get to watch them be humiliated while I get everything I ever wanted” is so universal.

But Wentworth is only able to fully enjoy it for like A DAY before he starts realizing how terrible it is. He watches Anne suffer in silence and he hates it. He watches her being treated like an inconvenience and a joke and a piece of furniture and he hates it. He hears sneering comments at her expense and he hates it. He spends evening after evening in her company, where he is celebrated as a handsome, dashing hero while she is shoved to the side and ignored and he hates it.

He probably spent a lot of heartbroken hours out on the sea wishing revenge on her (like ten years’ worth), but then he gets to see it happening and revenge turns out not to be that sweet after all. He probably thought “I hope she never gets married to anyone else and she has to spend the rest of her miserable life with her miserable family, listening to them talk about nothing and regretting ever letting me go.” But then he has to watch her live through it, and it is just excruciating. Watching her bite her tongue. Watching her keep her eyes down on her clasped hands. Watching her silently accept everything as if she deserves it.

He’s like, “YES, it’s all HAPPENING! She’s all ALONE and PALE and OLD and…sad. And her family treats her terribly, and she’s— no one is talking to her. No one even knows that she’s funny and smart, they just— they just make her sit in the corner. She’s hardly eating anything. And she really isn’t that old, but they are acting like she’s dead? Her family is even worse than they used to be, how is that even possible? Why isn’t anyone helping her? Why is she the only person taking care of anyone? Why isn’t anyone taking care of her?”

And his nasty “she’s so altered I should not have known her again” comment that he KNOWS got back to her starts ringing in his ears. And his cocky “yeah I’m just here to find a YOUNG, HOT girl to marry now that I’m SUCH A CATCH, whatevs” approach starts to make him feel queasy, because she’s HELPING, she’s trying to stay out of his way and help him pick a young wife, and she hardly ever smiles anymore, not really. He watches her slip out of rooms when he enters them and he hears her laughing with her nephew sometimes but then go quiet when anyone else approaches, and he doesn’t know what to do. Anyway, every fandom has a bunch of Pride and Prejudice AUs, but I WANT PERSUASION AUS. I NEED THEM. I NEED THEM.

Maya and Edgeworth help Phoenix after they all had a bit too much to drink during their night on the town, but that’s okay because they’re together and that’s all that matters. ♥

There’s a lot I could write about this, but all it really boils down to is how much I love Phoenix and Maya’s relationship, and that 2-4, despite my gripes about how a certain someone was handled, is probably my favorite case in the entire trilogy because of them.

shakespeare this brontë that. what about when irie aki draws the waves crashing and receding as a visual cue of quietude and writes hibi telling ran "well... we're... not kids anymore." and the water is soaking his shoes as we the audience reflect on what a truly sad thing that is to say, and then he outstretches his scarred hand and reminds us and ran that growing up, actually, is also a joyful experience! it is bittersweet precisely because it is necessary and brave and good. and what luck you must have, to have someone to grow up alongside with

Happy birthday Claude / Khalid!

Last summer was tough for me, but playing this game cheered me up. I learned to draw what made me happy, and it reminded me why I started draiwng in the first place.

I might not be an incredible artist with a mindblowing portfolio, but when I pour love in drawing like these, I feel happy. It’s also with drawings like these that I meet so many great persons. So yeah, happy birthday Khalid, and happy one year FE3h, it’s also very soon, if I recall well.
