Gamer!Phoenix Headcanons Part 2
This part two focuses on the 7 year gap, not including the start of Apollo Justice. I think I’ll do more of a bulleted list this time, as I hope to eventually string all of these parts together into one fic lol. Also this is most definitely not going to be posted in chronological order because, why not haha.
Also this is literally just if phoenix wright had a lil gaming career on the side lol
During the 7 year gap, Phoenix has much more time to stream due to getting disbarred.
He has to find a way to provide for Trucy after all, and the money that he used to make during college from streaming was pretty decent.
At first he had wanted to revitalize his old channel, but he decided that he needed a fresh start.
He creates his new channel, Beanix_, and resumes streaming on Twitch going by Beanix_ with the use of a voice modulator.
It’s hard to get publicity at first, but he reaches out to some of his old streaming friends through his old channel and they do a couple of collabs together so he can gain some followers/subscribers. He emphasizes to them that he does not want to be associated with his college channel.
Phoenix still takes time to take care of Trucy as well as his continue his investigation on Kristoph.
He streams a wide variety of content but mostly focuses on speedrunning, challenges, or competitive games, all sprinkled with tasteful commentary on how his life is going, advice, or any other topic that might arise in chat.
His streams tend to be pretty chill, but whenever he gets caught in a laughing fit, the chat goes wild, and honestly it’s what they come for.
After a couple of months have passed, a new name starts trending within various gaming communities.
Rumors arise about the mysterious streamer, Beanix_, that always seems to place very highly or even dominate the tournaments that they enter, regardless of the game.
No one has a clue about who Beanix_ actually is or what he looks like or even sounds like because he never shows his face and uses a voice modulator whenever he streams or is at competitions.
His account begins to amass new followers and subscribers who have become entranced by Phoenix’s online persona’s ability to seemingly win matches out of nowhere(The first Smash tournament he competed in, he got to the finals, which had a system of first to three wins. He lost the first two games but he pulled an insane turnabout, clutching three wins in a row).
He sets a poll up during one of his streams, asking viewers to pick the next game that he would play, and of course, they want Beanix_ to play poker, as there is no way that he could possibly win all of the time in a game that could have so much variation.
Phoenix accidentally signs up for a poker website that requires voice chat without any modifications to the input and already had made the deposit of money before realizing this.
Instead of having a voice reveal, he asks Trucy for her help and lets her be in charge of mic duty while he listens to the others and plays his heart out.
Surprisingly, he manages to win all of the games that he plays on the first stream. He climbs the ranks of the poker website and soon he is playing with extremely high stakes.
Occasionally he gets dms from those who want to see if his skills hold up in real life, offering him a prize if he can actually beat them.
Phoenix of course agrees to play against them, as money is money after all. Ge still maintains his anonymity though, and meets them to play at various bars around Los Angeles, with the Borscht Bowl Club being the epicenter of it all.
He still streams other challenges but he keeps a small win/loss counter about his poker games in the top right of the stream, taunting those who wish to try their luck.
He starts his Youtube channel and uploads compilations of him winning poker games, skillfully edited videos of his challenges, and the occasional speedrun world record video.
Beanix_ still manages to keep his 7 year win streak of both online and in-person poker.
At this point he has accumulated around 2.3 million subscribers on youtube as well as about 500,000 on Twitch.
