If you could have a miraculous (from Miraculous Ladybug,) which one would you choose?
probably the butterfly brooch bc I sure do not want to go fight enemies myself, that’s way too scary
plus I’d love to design herosonas for people and I’d probably be a good fit for it because I tend to see people as characters anyhow; I could see their possibilities
I got this ask randomly like over a year ago and it has nothing to do w/the blog but shhh
If you’re still taking requests for the Color Palette Challenge, I would like to request Yugi with 17, please. :)
There you go! ☆

It is an unofficial rule that “practical” beings don’t get to use Millennium Items.
I mean you say that, but Marik accomplished more in like, a weekend (after having spent his life in a basement halfway across the world) than Yami Bakura accomplished in the entire time he spent in Domino. Granted, Marik also used card games, but like, chaining Joey and Yugi to an anchor rigged with explosives? THAT was a scheme. What did Bakura do? Fuckin I dunno, stab himself in the arm cause Marik told him to or something??
3,000 year old being with part of the soul of a chaos god and SOMEHOW Yami Bakura is infinitely less effective than a teenager who was raised in a literal underground cult basement. I think that deserves special mention

Too busy to post the link? You had time to write four paragraphs but not time to include even one source?
Hey there random rude person
no i didn’t and i still don’t because i have recently finally-diagnosed adhd and im trying to a) adjust to new meds and b) focus on work while isolated during a global pandemic and i didn’t have time to go down the rabbit hole of sourcing my random ace attorney ramble thoughts by searching through my tag and getting distracted by how much i love ace attorney. it’s much easier to do off the cuff un edited vents to get my racing thoughts out than look stuff up.
my personal blog isn’t an academic fucking journal that needs sources for every rambly thought i have based on something i read once. it’s incredibly entitled to berate me for not doing that. if you want the source, look through ace attorney interviews and find it yourself. or pay me to write a fucking essay.
I was gonna do both and upload them at the same time, but since the second one is going to require a ton more energy from me, have the simple art request first (aka the fluff).
Nick and Pearly are indeed quite the team there, especially in JFA.
Now let’s just hope Edgeworth doesn’t try to update the fucking autopsy report!!
@dei-lab-assistant
I’ve enjoyed reading the the recent posts on your blog! This is a platonic friendship match request. The franchises I’m most interested in are Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Ace Attorney. I was also thinking you could maybe pick one other person from literally any of the options available—if you wanted to, it’s totally your choice and I know I’m already asking for a lot! Thanks for offering non-romantic matches! (1 of ??)
I’m an ISTP optimist who tries to see reality. (Can look at a situation and see all the reasons it’s bad, but then believe it will work out anyway if I apply myself.) Neutral Good alignment. In my spare time I play cello, but I don’t practice enough. I also like to play video games like Ace Attorney, Nancy Drew, and Professor Layton. Time with my family is very important to me, I hope someday when I move away a new family will sort of “adopt” me. Cosplay. Write fanfics. (2 of ??) Every year I learn one or two new skills (last year I got my motorcycle license and learned how to fire handguns. This year I hope to learn soldering.) Lead a Ghostbusters RPG once a month. Used to take Aikido, hope to resume. My passions are Star Wars, Doctor Who, Phineas and Ferb, and Ace Attorney. I also really like science, not necessarily formal science classes, but learning about how the world works. (3 of ??) Despite the fact that I’m a young woman in my twenties, the whole desiring romance and sex thing never kicked in—and somehow most people pick up on that and don’t feel threatened by me being friends and doing activities one-on-one with their significant other. Some bad stuff about me: Constantly running late. Can be terribly apathetic. Slow at learning faces. Hard time reading people’s emotions. Horrible long term planner, usually not thinking more than a month in advance… (4 of ??) Some good things about me: Comfortable with who I am. Good at problem solving. Emotionally stable. Capable. Lucky. Can do desk work, but also hands-on tasks like fixing things or clearing brush. The sort of woman who can come up with crazy ideas like trying to become an Olympic volunteer and in a burst of energy take the steps to try and make it a reality. Quick learner. Good with kids. Willing to do things alone. (5 of 6) I’ve always been drawn to people with intelligence or kindness, even better if a person has both traits. I like people who accept I have simple emotional needs and stop trying to make me talk about a bunch of “deep hidden feelings” I don’t have. I’ve friends who are quite emotional, & friends who never talk about their feelings, but all of them are honest with me. I’ve got no patience or interest in people who try to shape me into someone I’m not or control me. (6 of 6)
Star Wars: Poe Dameron!
-As an ISTP, you’re probably someone who can be adventurous from time to time. Poe would be a great friend to have when those moods came around-he always loves to explore new places or just go on a trip somewhere without much notice.
-Poe’s kind of a more Chaotic Good person, but that would work out well. As someone who’s more neutral good, you can be the balance between letting him do something reckless or not. Some of his ideas are good, but some are too risky, and you could be able to distinguish which are which.
-He loves music-it really relaxes him and he loves to dance. When you two hang out he’d always be asking to hear you play your cello. This would give you a chance to get more practice in while having fun with your friend! He wouldn’t even mind if it didn’t sound the best at first.
-He’s not that punctual himself, so he wouldn’t get mad at you for running late to a movie or a lunch-anything really. Chances are he get there right before you or right after you anyways, so he’d never hold it personally, he’d just sort of laugh it off.
Marvel: Peter Parker!
-Peter really likes video games, especially ones that have puzzles or are difficult. Since you play games that require investigation and thinking, he’d really like them too, so if you ever introduced them to him he’d love to play them when you are together.
-Peter has a very loving real family, but he also has an adoptive family in the form of his friends and teammates, so he would understand how you feel. Becoming friends with him would mean becoming friends with everyone else too, so you’d quickly be in the family too.
-He’s very into modern pop culture, especially media, so he’d find it cool that you cosplay! If you ever need a friend to go to a con with, Peter would always be willing if he wasn’t busy or out on a mission. He might not understand everything, but he’d still think it’s cool.
-He’s still a little young, so being a good role model and showing him that it’s okay and actually a good thing to be yourself would really help him out in the long run. Your example would help him become more comfortable with his own self!
Ace Attorney: Miles!
-As much as he tries to keep it a secret, he absolutely writes fanfiction for Steel Samurai, so if you somehow found that out and didn’t make fun of him for it and instead showed him your own writing, you’d become fast friends without a doubt.
-He’s a very efficient person who likes to use his time wisely, so he would find it admirable that you try and learn new skills so often. If it was something he’s interested in too, he’d definitely be willing to learn it with you and even encourage you to not give it up.
-He doesn’t like to show it, but he cares for his friends very deeply, and worries about them quite a lot. But if he knew you know Akido, that anxiety would lessen a lot, as he;d know you could handle yourself easier than some of the other people he watches out for.
-He’s a prodigy, so he’s extremely intelligent, which is a trait you want in a friend! He also values intelligence so you’d get along well! And while he’s too shy and embarrassed to show it most of the time, he is a kind man, and one who would do anything for his friends.
You know how people love to take friendship stories and claim everyone in the story was madly in love with each other? People who think that way, how do YOU think their rationale works? I used to think they were merely people who had never experienced true friendship; but recently I realized most of them believe in True Love, or Soulmates, and they’ve never experienced that either. Which means, perhaps subconsciously, they are CHOOSING to believe in one kind of love and not another. Thoughts?
While I think everything you said can definitely play a part (not experiencing friendship, believing in soulmates, ect.), it’s also a mix of amatonormativity and the moving target effect. The moving target effect (or “the pursuit of happiness” tbh) is the human tendency to always want what we don’t have. We have a constant need to strive for something new— the next job promotion, the next house, the next new goal. Our brains are designed to problem-solve, and most people don’t know how to turn that off for very long.
Combine this with amatonormativity, which places romance as the highest rung of the relationship ladder (so to speak), and you have a high “goal” to aim for... and to project onto. Even amatonormativity on its own teaches us that kindness, intimacy, and love are inherently romantic, which creates a LOT of problematic shipping on top of the frustrating tendency for people to say “there is literally no platonic explanation” towards something that is COMPLETELY PLATONIC.

I’ve heard they actually had to reinvent a lot of the plot halfway through because of current events in Japan at the time.
You mean the cult stuff or whatever? I guess that’s true, but I feel like that still doesn’t excuse the sudden jump from “Yusei has been brutally tortured on-screen by cops, nearly to the point of death, more or less just for the crime of being poor” to “Well we ended classism forever, yay! Now the cops are good guys! No we will not acknowledge the fact that multiple main characters still have government trackers embedded into their skin” LIKE........... OK STUDIO GALLOP. OK
