Character that has only known suffering finding rescue and help from the person they least expected it from.

I just think the trope is neat!

[the-orange-sanders-side]

Based on a theory that the Sides' emblems show who they really are the opposites are (ex. Roman and Remus's opposite symbols, Logan and Patton's symbols), the orange side would either have a mongoose emblem if he's the opposite of Janus or a sun if he's the opposite of Virgil.

Ooh! I don’t know off the top of my head that specific theory, but it feels familiar... While the sun is already on Roman’s symbol, I could see the orange side’s symbol being an orange sun or stars peeking out over a white cloud or a sunset of some sort to play opposite to Virgil.

A second angsty fanfiction idea: Unsympathetic Logan where he decides to forcibly try to force Roman and Remus together in an attempt to get his best friend King Creativity back. Virgil, Patton, and Janus are then having to work together to figure out what's going on while the twins need to try to escape Logan's lab (left to him by Creativity for mental experiments). Starts with the two of them waking up, tied together back to back (in or close to being in the buff).

K I actually don’t like u!sides but like this is an interesting concept. I might actually write it where everyone thinks logan’s going feral when in fact, the King had a pact with logan, where if X happened then logan has to try and bring King back, no matter what, expect roman and remus dont remember this. (also if anyone wants to write this please feel free to)

We're here with you Blurr. Things will work out. *digital comfort touch*

“….!!” Fortunately, it seems to have had a weak link.

Thank you so much!~

Been loving your analysis posts. I definitely agree that Deceit will probs be used to show how you can be selfish/have your own wants and desires without being evil. (Traditional Christian morality put love [loving God above all and loving your neighbor as you love yourself] as the highest virtue instead of the modernist placing of selfishness on that pedestal for a reason.) And deceit is intriguing because there can be times where its the right thing to do, such as in Les Mis to save Valjean.

However, I suspect that Patton acts more childish than he actually is. We know that he smiles and acts goofy to hide sadness and other negative emotions. We've also seen how there has been a thread of self-loathing in all the Sides so far, especially in Roman. What if Patton acts especially childish to hide how he's the source of Thomas's self-loathing but isn't sure why its there and so acts on the simplistic form of morality where being selfish is wrong to try to combat it but makes it worse?

Thanks to my media degree encouraging me to always consider the symbolic implications of a piece of media, my take on Patton is probably almost purely symbolic. Curious to consider but probably not the true intention.

So your theory is that, as the source of Thomas’s emotions, positive and negative, Patton is the source for Thomas’s self-loathing and he acts childish to compensate as he doesn’t understand why or how to handle it? It’s certainly possible and would play into Patton’s personal protective nature when it comes to Thomas. Anything he can to protect his kiddo.

I’m not sure that I buy into this myself, and I have spent the last two hours trying to explain this, and I have hit somewhat of an impasse so I’m sorry if this doesn’t make much sense. It is possible Patton is the source of self-loathing, or at least where it originates from, but Thomas’s emotional state is as much influenced by disagreements/arguments/bad moods of all the Sides, not just Patton.

For instance, in Moving On, after Roman’s outburst about what Thomas really wants, Thomas uses logical reasoning to explain why that is bad, why he feels bad for what he wants. Though it’s not explicitly stated it can very easily be inferred that Thoas hates himself right then, yes for holding onto the past (which is indeed all Patton) but also for wanting what he wants when he knows that he shouldn’t. If Thomas hates himself at this oment, it’s more likely to be because of Roman the dreamy-fantasy guy wanting something Thomas just can’t have. That would place Roman as the source of te self-loathing at that moment.

I will meet you half way though, as I’m certain that any self-loathing that Thomas feels goes through Patton, even if it doesn’t originate from him, and maybe Patton overdoes the childishness to try and counteract the bad feels, not realising the negative impact this is actually having on Thomas.

The Candy Conundrum

Shout out to @dei-lab-assistant for the story prompt ask (even if I accidently deleted that) The phrase: Do you really need all that candy? The fandom: Ace Attorney

Was allowed my choice of characters in a platonic type of relationship so here’s some Klavier and Miles Edgeworth with a sort of father/son relationship.

Hope you enjoy!

“Do you really need all that candy, Klavier?”

Klavier froze in his step, briefly the sound of Kristoph rang through his mind. But he shook it out, donned his signature smile, and turned around to face the Chief Prosecutor, who was puzzled but not angry yet at least. “Oh I may not need all this, Herr Chief” he chuckled nervously, gesturing to the heavy laden bags in his arms. “But the trick-or-treaters will be loving it come Halloween.”

Edgeworth raised an eyebrow at that and crossed his arms. “Most trick-or-treaters don’t think to come to the Prosecutor offices for their treats. The Police station is more customary. Besides, Halloween is still three months away.” He took a step closer. “Even the most ardent Halloween fans don’t usually prepare the candy that far in advance and I’d doubt this would last that long.”

Klavier gulped. “What makes you think this wouldn’t last that long? Do you think I have absolutely no self-control?” Of course, having ten bag loads of candy did not exactly help his case (like it wasn’t helping his now cramping arms). And it’d seem that it was evidence enough of that for Herr Edgeworth giving how he was frowning as he peered into the bags. Klavier started to sweat.

“...You got Miss Skypes two bags full of her treat.” Miles then went to examine the others. “And there’s the candies Mr. Justice, Mr. Blackquill, and Miss Cykes were talking about liking the other day with Tracy. And Wright’s and Gumshoe’s...” He paused and looked towards his subordinate, who’d cast his eyes down out of embarrassment, bracing himself. Miles sighed. He was seriously going to need to push harder for an on-staff therapist. “You didn’t need to buy everyone else their favorites to assuage your guilt of wanting to get yourself some.”

Klavier snapped his eyes up, surprised. “But, its, its...”

“Childish, a waste of money, selfish?” Perhaps.” Miles stated as he pulled off the bag of his treats from Klavier’s arm, the Steel Samurai symbol showing promentialy out of the overstuffed bag. “But I also know better than most that sometimes, one needs to able to indulge in a more ‘childish’ pleasure every now and then. As long as its not taken to extremes and doesn’t determinately affect your life and your work, there is all sorts of good that comes from doing something simply because you enjoy it rather than allowing others to push you away from it.” Edgeworth then stretched his hands out again.  “Now then, would you mind if I helped you get these bags up to your office? We can discuss there how you want to hand all these treats out.”

Klavier vigorously nodded as he handed some of the bags over to Edgeworth, giving his arms a rest. “Ja! Danke, Herr Edgeworth.”

Edgeworth softly smiled. “Bitte Herr Klavier.” Then the two walked up the stairs together.

When the Miis get to a high enough relationship level, a baby is randomly dropped off for them at the hotel. These grow up into kids who are a separate group that can lead to the sequel where they're in charge of rescuing their family.
