the furry ace attorney guy

Howdy, I'm Avi! I draw a bunch of stuff, mostly revolving around Warrior Cats, Ace Attorney, Splatoon, FE3H, AITSF, and more!!

Obviously blonde4blonde ships are fucked up and scary, but it's important to remember that fiction isn't reality. Many people enjoy things in fiction that would be fucked up irl, and writing blonde4blonde ships doesn't inherently mean that someone is actually okay with two blonde people dating in real life.

To: @reverthe From: @pelmendraws

hi hello greetings Rever!! i was your zanta all along mwehehe!

i was so glad to get you as my match because you had this AMAZING sigkane prompt. and i couldn't bring myself to draw the beloved geezers more often than i wish i did so here we are.

not only that, i'm also rather mad there's nothing on post-vlr other than Another Time, which is not canon. not even a musing or a plan B (which Sigma doesn't seem to have, if he ever thought about his life after the project regardless of its outcome hahah). so i tried to cover their mindsets and regrets right after AB complition

i hope you'll enjoy my gift and i wish you a Merry Chistmas and a Happy upcoming New Year!!!! thank you for the amazing 2025 ☝️ Yaaaay 🎉🎉🎉

kaname date identity issues in AINS

Some of my fav hints at Date's identity issues in No Sleep for Kaname Date. Putting it under a read more since it'll get long.

First off the dream at the start of the game. The main purpose of this scene is to serve as the spoiler toggle test, but the scene itself is a nightmare of Date's based on a real memory from right after the body swap. Seemingly as he was running away from the chemical plant with So's bodyguards chasing after him he made his way through the abandoned train station before he ended up at Golden Yokocho.

All that to say, the start of the game is not a flashback but Date having a nightmare about that flashback. And here's where his identity issues play a part! Date's name is listed as "???" because this nightmare is from a time when he didn't know himself, but he also still doesn't know himself and is stuck between identities.

His nightmare mostly features him not recognizing himself in the mirror because it's based on those memories from 6 years ago. When you interact with the mirror you get this dialogue:

It's more than that though, even after he remembers the events of the first game (yay you passed the spoiler toggle!) there's a scene later when Aiba breaks through his dream to call out to him. When she calls him Date, "???" reacts like this:

Doesn't even recognize his name. So, yay Date probably has reoccurring nightmares about not knowing who he is!

When Date wakes up later in the car, Aiba says Date was "fast asleep with a stupid look on your face" Date reacts by replying "My stupid face...." in an unhappy voice. This is for sure more of Date struggling with his mask and identity problems. In fact! If you have spoilers off he replies like this instead of mentioning his face.

The stupid face line is also a mistranslation, in Japanese he says, "This isn't my face, it's that guy that looks stupid" [source x].

Those are the most blatant identity issue scenes we get, the rest is just me being delusional. During escape room 2 Hina and Date mention the yellow bath looking like Hina's hair color, Date out of nowhere asks Hina if she bleaches her hair.

I know this isn't much, but in my mind he's asking it because he's thinking about his own naturally dark hair and ways he could bleach it to look like Saito's (if he's wearing a wig right now) or needs tips on maintaining it (if it's actually his hair being bleached). Date never cared about asking if people's hair color was real before, and the fact it's blond, it feels like it's hinting at something. Even if the writers didn't mean for it to lol.

There's also ALL THIS but I'm not going to get into it.

Date also acts weirdly like Saito in parts of this game, I don't know if he's doing this on purpose or if there's a 1% of Saito left in his personality from when he was in his body so long. He wants to smash boxes and gets obsessed with fireworks... take that as you will.

Tying this to AINI for a second, but all this to say Date is a complicated character and there's more going on under the surface than just getting a mask to hit on women. Genuinely I think he's just saying that as an excuse so he doesn't have to analyze it.

If anything, some of the dialogue in AINS implies he doesn't actually enjoy wearing the mask ("my [Saito's] stupid face...") and its ties to Saito, but hates being his past self AKA Falco even more. So he will continue to wear it and call himself with this mask on handsome. He's trying to cope, OK. Biggest question is, who are you, Kaname Date? Do you even know the answer yourself?

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

[some-sort-of-humanoid-lifeform]

My mother is all into homesteading and off-grid living videos right now. Every time I check up on her, this is what she wants to talk about.

It gives her a sense of peace and purpose I guess. Which is good, she’s been struggling to find that with her injuries and condition. She’s learning skills, and feeling prepared for “the worst”. Like I can’t get her to stop watching conspiracy theory bullshit on YouTube so at least this kind of content alleviates some of the anxiety the other content amplifies, because she feels like she can do something now to secure her safety later.

But to get through these conversations, I have to tell myself— hey, if natural disaster comes our way, some of this might be useful. But I know she’s not just thinking a big storm or natural disaster. She’s preparing for the collapse of society. And I don’t know how to break it to her that we wouldn’t survive that. You can make long lasting candles with crisco? Cool. Where you going to by crisco when society collapses? You’ll stock up now? Ok cool. What will you do when it runs out? Honestly, before it runs out, what will you do when people with guns come to take your various stockpiled supplies?

If we hit a point where society collapses, we’re done for. Food, medicine, etc. we can’t survive without society, without a world where people are working together trying to help each other out.

So, I’ll go through with this shit in the name of natural disaster preparedness, and because it helps her. But that’s as far as I’m willing to put energy into it. I refuse to prepare for, bet on, or hope for the collapse of society. I’d rather spend my energy trying to prevent society collapsing, what little part I can play in that. I’d rather spend my energy supporting people in my community. I’d rather work and build towards a better future, not prepare for the worst.

OP, if your mother is physically able to do the following, I strongly suggest it:

Get her into a fibercraft. Sewing, knit, crochet. Because here’s the thing:

At first, you can pitch it as “we’re all still gonna need clothes and these idiots with their doomsday bunkers can’t even thread a needle.” But after awhile—let this take a bit of time, not so long that she gets bored but long enough that she’s like “I’ve DONE this already”—introduce her to a slightly more advanced concept. She was practicing on circle skirts? Check out how to make darts. Crochet blankets? There are SO MANY cool stitches.

And then when the craft has a decent grip as a hobby….THEN you introduce her to a crafting social group.

One of the best ways to stop people falling down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole is to make sure they have active and diverse community, and being able to make tangible things has been shown to have a positive influence on mental health. If cost is a concern, I literally have spare crochet hooks I could send you to get her started and all I’d ask for them is cost of postage, which is like. Maybe three bucks. You can even find halfway decent yarn at the dollar store now. It’s not amazingly high quality, but it’s good enough for practice and learning.

I cannot recommend the above enough. My dad is a prepper and was falling in with a militia. Like the white supremacy militias.

So I started casually mentioning i wanted to do Search and Rescue- knowing my father is incredibly competitive and will try and out do me.

I was all "but we can't rely on the government to find people!"

Now he has been on 6 different tours in the US. He is a field commander and the most successful in state history.

He independently made a partnership with a Black and Missing coalition and partners with them on searches for Black Ohio and.

He called me the other day so proud he has " a Trans and a nonbinary whatever that is" on his search team. So is he perfect? No. But now he isn't toting a gun around and threatening people.

He's getting better. Sure he built a secret bunker in the basement. But he's recovered multiple bodies and reunited people with loved ones.

Sure we still can't have a conversation without him divulging into some bigoted speak here and there.

But he's been lead in recovering teens trafficked from our state and successfully recovered them in Georgia in 10 hours.

Sure he isn't perfect. But he didn't fall completely and maybe he will become even better on his own.

The secret is: is they aren't going to become themselves again but you can help them not crumble completely. You can still have your parent even if they are a bit.. ahhhh.... hurtful. But they aren't hurting anyone and that's the important part.

Part of the reason people (particularly white people) of a certain age fall down the doomsday preparation hole into conspiracy theorist is

there is very little community for non-churchgoing white folks.

There is such a push in white culture to get your kids out the door and settled in their own home after you've raised them nearly exclusively alone for 20 years. Your work friends are your work friends. You retire and they don't see you anymore.

You don't go to church? All of the church groups don't see you.

Because the prevalent culture among white people is go it alone. If you're lucky and not divorced, you get your partner, but usually the go it alone is so pervasive that even working as a team with one other person is usually too hard, not to mention the stress of only having one person and how you have no place to vent about that person when needed (and everyone sometimes needs to vent about their loved ones no matter how good the relationship.)

So you get to this place where your culture has led you and you have grown-up kids, no spouse, no friends, and a whole lot of undefinable resentment about your life that you're not supposed to feel.

And this person on youtube comes along and says "Fuck them all, society will collapse any day now."

And you nod along in agreement.

But if you have a hobby, and start making friends from that hobby?

Suddenly that support system vents all of those icky building resentments and you can depend on people and make friends and have relationships and the world doesn't feel so bad.

Honestly, white culture takes a pack animal and puts it in a cage alone and then wonders why so many white people are miserable, racist pricks.

[plantyhamchuk]

The thing about homesteading is that at it's best, it's done within a community context.

People who are on the grind to grow/raise/slaughter their own food or to make their own clothing quickly realize that no, they CANNOT do it all, there's not enough hours in the day, but they learn what neighbors are doing what, and they start to swap and barter and trade and sell.

Someone's hot sauce for eggs, some deer meat for fruit preserves, honey for medicinal homegrown herbs. Work trades happen too - you help us repair our roof while we'll help you repair your plumbing, or someone who will watch your place when you're gone and vice versa.

Sometimes a friend will have a ridiculous harvest and push pear preserves on you. You'll pay her back someday, somehow, perhaps by giving her little brother (who is watching her place) extensive gardening guidance.

People just watching videos who are just getting started might not realize that, or who just don't think it through fully. I doubt the videos go into the community aspect.

I fully highly recommend all reading the perspectives of all the above. People need community, not right-wing radicalizing youtube algorithms, now more than ever.

warrior cats fans are the backbone of the youtube animation community

[brackenfur]

and wc fans back in the 2000s-2010s were creating three to four minute animations w ms paint and windows movie maker with genuine storytelling and FLUID animation......for almost every viral animation in some fandom it generally can be traced back in some way, some form, to warrior cats fans and i love that. thank u youtube wc fans for keeping the fandom alive and thriving for so long
