It... It's actually HAS been over two years, hasn't it? That feels wrong, but I know it's not. I'm okay, though, mostly! Things aren't great, but they could be so much worse so... I'll take it.
I will say that I still have notifications for this blog, my side blogs, and my AO3 in these two years away. I have seen every single comment, message, like, reblog, and kudos. I'm so glad people have continued to read my silly little AA fanfic pieces, it means so much to me. Writing for this blog was (is?) such a joy that it still brought a smile to my face to see someone engage with my tumblr and AO3. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
... Anyways, I'm playing the AA games again for the first time in a while so I may get back into writing? A very tentative maybe. Things will be different around here if I do! I'll be making new posts soon and revamping the blog. So keep an eye out! :> But for those of you who see this and are curious about where I've been or life updates, it's under the cut!
The most important thing though: I am very sorry for vanishing off the face of the earth. I didn't really want to come back here until I felt like I could stick around for more than just one post, which in my head meant potentially returning in some capacity or deciding to shut this blog down for good. And so, two years of silence has passed as a result. I am what I've always been: an anxious, awkward, and indecisive disaster.
But to those of you who read my stuff years ago and totally forgot you followed an AA imagines blog or just have no interest in AA content now, I see you and there's no shame in unfollowing as I dust things off. I just appreciate that you were here at all, pal!
Okay, now onto the personal shenanigans. Since I was last on here, I started playing with my beloved weekly D&D group (we've been playing for over 2 years now and are on our second campaign! <3), got REALLY into Critical Role and Dimension 20, graduated with my master's, landed a job right out of my practicum, read SO many wonderful books, and I'm 26 now! ...Which means that I've got way too many games and hobbies I'm interested in and not enough time/energy for any of them. :"D
I'm still just as in love with stories as ever, but I've barely written anything outside of D&D fic in 2 years.
Of course, it hasn't all been good, I've had my fair share of grieving, family drama, mental health issues, work as my personal hell, and grappling with my sense of failure and hopelessness. I've barely left my house in two years and I honestly don't remember how to socialize or be a person among other people anymore -- I barely knew to begin with. But I'm just going one day at a time and taking my time to catch back up.
But I miss writing. I'm apprehensive to post again because it's gonna be bad for a while. I am rusty. But I wanna pick it back up again. And I LOVE Ace Attorney. I love these characters. I love this setting. And I've dearly missed the whimsy and heart of this series.
My inbox is open for messages, I'll do my best to respond to things? I'll probably leave old asks in my inbox to rest, but I'll respond to any new things! For those of you who sent in anons checking on me, consider this an open letter to you, too! I got quite a few of kind anons in the past two years and I appreciate y'all taking the time to check in on me.
Thanks for reading all of this. Keep an eye out for future posts and some blog modifications but I'm signing off for now!
Equestrian reader: horses mirror their riders emotion so if you get scared he’ll get scared. Just stay calm Edgeworth’s horse: gets crippling anxiety - meme anon
Franziska, to Miles: You fucked up a perfectly good horse is what you foolishly did. Look at it. It’s got anxiety.
Miles softly talking to his dog mmmmm yes good content
Miles is sitting on the floor of his living room, sleeves rolled up as his blazer’s strewn across the back of his armchair, forgotten. Warm sunlight filters through the large window as he continues with some of his most important work for the day.
“Now… objection!”
At the command, Pess rises on his hind legs to ‘sit pretty’ before stretching a paw out as if he’s carrying out the ‘shake’ command before letting out a short bark.
Edgeworth clutches at his cravat over his chest as he offers his dog a treat with his free hand, briefly overwhelmed by the cuteness. “Y-Yes, good boy, a superb objection, indeed…!”
The dog quickly drops back down to all fours before snatching the treat from Miles’s hand, wagging his tail with such force that his entire body wiggles. Once his reward’s devoured, he hops into his owner’s lap. His owner’s quick to run his fingers through his dog’s soft, golden fluff, the signature furrow between his brows absent as he smiles down at his beloved pet.
“You are phenomenally talented, supremely adorable, and a constant source of joy in my life,” he says softly as Pess blinks up at him with those incredibly cute, round dark brown eyes of his that melt his heart. “…And I love you immensely. Never forget that.”
“Arf!”
Miles makes a small sound of amusement (bordering on a chuckle) as he brings his hands up to scratch the little pomeranian behind the ears.
Hello, it's been a month and I want to check up on you if that's okay? How are you? I hope you're doing okay. I also want to tell you that you're my favorite writer, and you pushed me into writing again and wanting to make my own imagine blog, although it's for a different fandom. That's just how much I love your writings. You are also very kind and friendly! I adore that part of you, too. I hope you have a good day and stay safe! -minus point anon
Hello! It’s perfectly okay and I apologize for the novella you’re getting in response, haha. But it’s been a while so I feel like talking a bit more about it is good. I hope you’re doing okay, too, minus point anon! Along with all the other members of the Turnaboutimagines anon family and anyone reading this. 💚
Just gonna put this under a cut for courtesy because I am a Rambler™️. ( ´▽` )ﾉ
(RIP to Tumblr desktop users, but there’s a read more glitch rn where the Read More goes in the ask and not your response alksdjfsdlkjf. It looks fine on mobile. If anyone knows a workaround please lmk! I don’t like clogging up people’s dashboards :”D)
Before I get into what’s been going on with me, I just want to say that I’m really happy to hear that you’ve started writing again!!! :D That’s fantastic and I really hope you’ve been having a blast with it and that you have a great time with your blog, too. Writing is one of my favorite things to do, so it always makes me happy to hear I’ve helped get someone else either into writing or back into it. ;w; So, thank you for telling me!!! It made me smile. Sharing writing is always a bit scary, but it’s very worthwhile. 💙
But I am... getting on. This year is really one thing after another and my mental health hasn’t been great, I’ve been having some depressive symptoms pop up again and am doing teletherapy. But we also have a terminal illness in the extending family right now along with an aunt having a severe mental health flare-up. It’s been pretty stressful. ;;; However, I finished my first year of grad school strong (lowest grade was a 98%!), so that’s some silver lining, at least... :”) The reason why I vanished about a month ago is that I’ve had severe burnout from writing for my classes and was also just highly stressed by the format switch since I did not have the skillset for learning online. ;;
I’m only now starting to gather up the energy to be more present online again now that school’s out of the way.
I would like to apologize to the people who sent me messages and wanted to talk in the meantime. ;w; I really appreciate your messages and I’d like to respond, but I’ve barely been able to talk with my three friends. It’s just ;;; even little things are a lot for me right now. I thought that I’d have a better social battery than this, but I simply do not and it sucks. I do plan on responding eventually, but it may take me a while. ;;;;;
My creative battery is still utterly drained and while I wish I was the kind of content creator who could keep feeding you guys new pieces and banging out requests during all this free time I have. But I’m not. Writing takes a lot of energy for me and I’m just barely getting on with the essentials right now. Video games are the one non-draining thing I have right now, so I’ve been playing a lot of ACNH....like a lot.
I don’t know when I’ll be back over here (hopefully sooner rather than later! I miss it terribly ;;m;;), but I’ll be responding to the other asks in my inbox when I do. I like to keep this blog pretty streamlined for writing. :> Sorry in advance for sitting on some asks for a while. ( ´▽`;;)
However, for those of you who enjoy Animal Crossing or just want to check in on me from time to time or maybe send conversational asks (that I may be slow responding to, but I’ll do my best!!! (ง'̀-'́)ง), you can find me over on @ad-nayseam! It’s an AC/personal sideblog attached to this account and I’m going to try and at least reblog or post something over there on a regular basis.
Anyways, this is it for now, pals. I dunno how long this hiatus will last, but I really do hope to be back as soon as I can get my writing energy back. This blog is such a joy to run and I love writing for AA. ;;w;;
Thank you all for reading my content, sending in requests, and being patient with me this year. It’s really made Turnaboutimagines such a joy to run and I hope to come back with more content for y’all soon!!! Please stay safe in the meantime and take care. 💚
Miles @ all those chicks who hit on him: Is there anything better than pussy? Yes, a really good book! ~🍵
Gumshoe: Wow! You read law books even when you're flying sir!? Edgeworth: Were you expecting anything less? Now come along, we must hurry to the crime scene! Gumshoe: Hm? Hold on a sec... There's a different book stuck in here. "The Steel Samurai's Adv..."Edgeworth: Detective Gumshoe! Am I going to have to charge you with invasion of privacy?!
Hm... wonder which book it could be. Probably some complicated book on legal practices, I’m sure.
