Headache Duck would be the worst, most impractical partner for a Yatagarasu to have, and yet I can see her taking that as a challenge and training one anyway.

A life of stealing truths is no fun if you have to play it safe all the time!

HOW I RUN MY BLOG.

SPEED: Slow as hell. My head is empty more often than not, and once I get frazzled it can take a while before I get back into the writing swing of things.

REPLIES: As above. Miles is a finicky bitch and if he doesn’t want to cooperate on replies then they just won’t happen.

STARTERS: I enjoy writing starters, but don’t expect mad paragraphs. If you’ve written one for me and it goes ignored, just prod me about it because it’s likely lost in the drafts or likes.

INBOX: My fav way to interact, if I’m being honest. The Creative Juices™ come way more easily to asks than regular threads.

SELECTIVITY: High, but I don’t necessarily have any specific checklist you need to meet. It’s more about whether I can see us vibing on an OOC level and in regards to writing style.

WISHLIST: No, I never really got around to creating one and probably never will.

HONEST NOTE: Using an alias has helped me be more confident OOC, but I am a timid little bean for the most part. Hearing my voice means you’ve reached top tier friendship with me tbh.

anonymous //  Do you believe in soul mates?

❛ No, I don’t think so. All relationships require some level of effort and compromise, and there’s no magical force that’s going to remove the need for those things. ❜

❛ Calling someone your soulmate is just a round-about way of saying that the relationship makes you happy. ❜

[judiciurn]

anonymous //  Is there anything, any kind of message you would send to the world if you had their attention for an hour?

It’s a good question, and one that requires quite a lot of thought on his part. There are many things he could say, ranging from trivial complaints to more serious global matters, but somehow none of the ideas seem to stick.

❛ No. There’s nothing I could say that hasn’t already fallen on deaf ears, and I doubt anyone would feel particularly inclined to listen to me over anyone else who has come before. After all, having their attention doesn’t mean that I would also have their cooperation, and without that any message would be ignored. ❜

❛ ...I do apologise if that isn’t the noble answer you were hoping to get. ❜

the funniest shit in ace attorney is that franziska refers to edgeworth, who is seven years older than her, as her little brother. she’s not confused in any way, it’s just a huge fuckin power move. she’s really thirteen years old telling actual strangers that this clearly adult man is younger than her IN FRONT OF HIM and he has no comment. all i get from this is that franziska is a funny bitch and that edgeworth is a complete pushover

tumblr’s formatting can suck my dick tbh. 

I never have to use xkit, but now if I don’t I’ll have my starters randomly popping up and deleting all of my Aesthetique layout ????? whatever it’s doing, can it please sort its shit out before I go buckwild

“If I don’t believe in my clients, then what’s the point of being a defense attorney? And it’s better than believing every single person who sets foot in the defendant’s booth is guilty. How can you be an attorney with so much distrust in humanity?”

It was surreal how cocky this boy could be, yet have just as much experience as her. His inflated ego needed to come down by a few notches at least. Then again, this was exactly the type of attitude she would expect from someone studying under the “great” Manfred von Karma. Mr. Grossberg was far from perfect, but he was a caring and supportive mentor, if not a little eccentric.

“A nearly perfect record doesn’t equal success if it’s all based on lies. And I’m shocked that you admit that I have any credibility to you. You might want to keep your voice down, you wouldn’t want von Karma hearing you say that.”

❛ Humanity is capable of terrible things, deception included. Why should I believe that every defendant is innocent just because they tell me so?·❜

Anyone who could stand up and wholeheartedly believe whatever their client told them was being willfully ignorant, and they deserved to have their arguments publicly torn apart. The evidence did not lie, it couldn’t, and as long as Miles had that under control he was sure that he could find every defendant guilty and build up a flawless record of his own.

He would show Mia, Grossberg, and everyone else exactly what a great prosecutor was capable of!

❛ I am von Karma’s student, not his clone, and contrary to what you might think our opinions are allowed to differ. If he expected me to be nothing more than a mouthpiece, I doubt he would have provided a very effective pupillage.·❜

“Good afternoon, Mr. Edgeworth.” Considering that neither of them had actually stepped foot in the courtroom as a lead attorney, his pompous behavior was all the more aggravating to her. She had a deep mistrust for prosecutors after hearing all the horror stories from her boss about witness intimidation, forged evidence, and various other underhanded tactics.

“Thank you for your concern, but that’s a peculiar way to pronounce ‘saving innocent people from jail.’ You sound exceptionally bitter this afternoon, did you finally realize that most of von Karma’s convictions are won with illegal methods?”

❛ If you truly believe every client you’ll take on will be innocent, you must be the most gullible attorney to ever pass the bar. ❜

There was no upper hand to be gained from this spat. Both of them were on even ground in terms of courtroom experience, and while Miles believed himself to have been blessed with a significantly better mentor, there was no denying that Grossberg was respectable in his own right. Had he been on the side of the prosecution, he might have even been someone worthy of Miles’ respect.

And yet, as long as they remained on opposing sides of the courtroom, Miles would continue this verbal sparring until one of them admitted defeat and walked away.

It’s not a surprise that her next jab is aimed at von Karma - ever since he first stepped foot in the world of law, he’s been surrounded by people sharing similar opinions. Forged evidence, forced confessions, witnesses reciting from a pre-prepared script... if it was illegal or immoral, he’d been accused of it.

( Not that anyone had ever been able to prove these accusations. )

❛ It’s only natural that someone as successful as von Karma will inspire quite a bit of jealousy from the masses. Why, you’d be hard pressed to find a prosecutor who hasn’t been accused of forgery at one point or another. ❜

❛ Unless you wish to shatter what little credibility you have, I suggest you give the rumour mill a wide berth. ❜

❛ Good afternoon, Ms. Fey. I didn’t expect to see you here. ❜

Though they hadn’t met often, Miles always made an effort to keep tabs on the opposition. Even though Grossberg's understudy posed no threat to him, it never hurt to be prepared for the future when they would inevitably be pitted against one another. Every thought and observation was hidden behind his paper-thin veneer of practiced politeness, but he was sure even someone like Mia would be able to uncover his distaste for her and her work.

❛ You look tired. Pardoning the guilty must really be running you ragged. ❜

Ace Attorney Investigations forces the player to return to the title screen when saving their game, making the process of saving more cumbersome and discouraging frequent saves. The game also gives the player a more generous health bar/features a lower penalty size than the main series, allowing the player to make a higher number of mistakes without getting a Game Over. The developers designed the game this way to encourage players to make more mistakes and take more penalties, specifically because watching Edgeworth fuck up is incredibly funny
