Hey! It's December 1st! Time to read:

❄️🎄Chicago Noël🎄❄️

by canolacrush 💙❤️💛💜

On Ao3 - note you will need an account to read it! (it's worth it!)

Summary:

December 1952, Chicago. When new baker Phoenix Wright and Maya move into town to set up shop and start a new life, the last thing they want is to draw the attention of a local crime lord. Worst of all, the sharp-eyed gang leader is starting to suspect there might be more to them than meets the eye… [Advent calendar fic; fully written and updates daily]

Completed in 2022 but written as an advent up to New Years Day, I couldn't stop myself and initially binged this fic in one go, then went back to read it daily and savour the flavour. IT IS SO GOOOOOD! The balance between humour, angst, suspense and tenderness is perfect, the premise is interesting, the characterization is on point and honestly the whole thing is just so enjoyable. As addictive as Christmas baking. 💙❤️

3, 27, and 61 for the math asks?

3. What math classes did you like the most?

Graph theory!!! I adored graph theory despite not getting especially good grades in it. I like it because graphs are a really simple and elegant way to represent connections between things, and to study the structure of those connections. There's an incredibly wide variety of problems you can represent with graphs & apply graph theory to, from "How do I solve this sudoku puzzle?" to "How many colours do I need for this map if I want countries that touch to be different colours?" (and those two are just graph colourings!)

I also like that it's a relatively accessible area of math to explain to people. I'm gonna add a video here because the first few minutes of it do a better job explaining than I can, but basically, a graph is just a bunch of points (called vertices or nodes) with a bunch of lines (called edges) connecting them. That's all! And there's so much important research devoted to them!

27. Do you know any good math jokes?

Alas no. Or I couldn't think of any off the top of my head, anyway. Here's one I stole from r/mathmemes:

61. Does 6 really *deserve* to be called a perfect number? What the h*ck did it ever do?

Mmmmm ok so technically yes, because all a number has to do is fit the definition. If it's a positive integer equal to the sum of its positive proper divisors, it's perfect, because Euclid said so.

HOWEVER I don't think the perfect numbers really deserve that name. They should be called the "pretty cool numbers" or the "interesting numbers" or something instead.

For the ask meme, narumitsu of course <3

Ship It

1. What made you ship it? "saddled with uneccessary feelings" C'mon! If they aren't in love they're definitely soulmates.... but they are in love, your honor.

2. What are your favorite things about the ship? I am a goddamn sucker for Edgeworth's archetype- The Quiet Serious One that has ALL THE FEELS on the inside / secretly a bit of a f-cking dork. I love how he gets drawn out of his manfred-induced conditioning and grows, and how they work together from opposite sides of the courtroom for the good of the innocent by the end of their focus games. They clearly have things that bond them together other than physical attraction - sense of justice, weird hobbies, accidental family figures for the Random Weird Girls that just seem to show up. My favorite fics for them tend to keep a sense of playful banter and remember that Phoenix is a really smart dumbass; they both have strengths and flaws and balance eachother quite well. weirdo 4 weirdo.

also, mutual pining. SO MUCH MUTUAL PINING and SLOWBURN. -shoves dolls of them together- NOW KISS. 3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? Idk if it's unpopular, i don't interact with drama llamas if i can help it. More of a "flaws in the AA universe in general": SO MUCH CONFLICT OF INTEREST. once they open their mouths and actually have a relationship in stead of being all Las Tokyoite (cough japanese implied romance cough) about it they should not be opposite from each other on cases as cute as courtroom lawyer flight flirting is.

possibly that I can easily read either or both as ace, and Phoenix is a bi disaster. but again, I don't interact with people who get their tights in a knot about that sort of thing.

[13:18] <MemoryDragon> I nearly put that we were both cat people and this was still the truest statement, but I figured the meme was accurate

misread this as "five cemeteries of cheese on top," was somewhat awed by the mental image

SO MUCH CHEESE!

to jump in: also a shot of a main character in a Long Black Coat in Times Square in winter

Also a scene in a police station.  It doesn’t even matter if the show is about police.
