𖤍⎇ yeah hi selfshipper. dont yell at me or I'll cry. im also autistic and literally cannot stop thinking about v2 , it was getting way too embarrassing to just keep it to myself so now everyone has to suffer the consequences of my actions. proshits dni
I'm v2's husband, widow, boyfriend and fiancé. Please dni if you have v2 as a f/o too or publicly ship it with anybody, I am already so unwell mentally please leave me this. I also have minos, Sisyphus, O'saa and star platinum as romantic f/o but I don't mind sharing them :3.
I use he/they/it/prince as my main pronouns
(Go to my prouny to see more of my pronouns)
My oc Cassiopeia uses he/they
Fandom tags:
😨🥩 = fear and hunger
🔫🩸= ultrakill
My love= O'saa
My husband = v2
My beloved= minos/sisyphus
(I also post tboi , jjba and madoka stuff from time to time but not enough to give them proper tags)
vote for the character you think is most queercoded, if you don't know either character check the propaganda
MILES VS. GABRIEL
Miles Edgeworth - Ace Attorney
Gabriel - Ultrakill
Voting ended onAug 6, 2023
PROPAGANDA
Miles - Emotionally repressed lawyer is saved from his darkest moments by his *ahem* “childhood friend” that changed the course of his life and the entire legal system. He is as close to canonically asexual as characters not produced by queer writers get, and yet he is also very gay. Everyone in the Fandom believes he has it down bad for the protagonist and he wears a wine red (looks pink af) suit
Gabriel - Gay angel, questioning God, horny, thinking about sworn enemy 24/7. Honestly, what more could anyone ever want?
i was going to put this in the tags but my response got SUPER long so i'm going to put this in the main post. So sorry everyone. Smiles.
i'm going to put a read more thing in here because again. this is crazy long. but my main point is:
this matchup is “accidental queerbait turns into intentional queerbait for sales” (edgeworth) vs. “purposeful queercoding to tell a queer story” (gabriel)
btw i say this as a fan of both and as someone who has engaged in both fandoms (SCARY). also this isn't a bad thing I don't mean to phrase it as if AA fans or ME voters are bad. love you gys. keep enjoying what u enjoy. but for some reason I care about this semi-niche matchup way too much. should not have pitted two guys I HATE against eachother!!!
ill copy what i had written so far -> (additions made by me afterwards are in square brackets [])
but I'm seriously chewing on my arms rn. ive played both and hyperfixated on both and ultrakill is just Generally better on this front imo. if u vote for ace attorney u support cops and will go to hell. SLASH ESS ARE ESS. (im kidding)
nothing abt phoenix and edgeworth's relationship is intentional, at least in the first game - and suekane told takumi not to intentionally queercode it later. the games are written by a straight guy.
(yes yes “unnecessary feelings” whatever. that does NOT hold a candle to the lines pink mentioned above^^ [in the image] generally the act II fight was wayy more interesting for me in terms of v1 and gabriel than all of aa123 for phoenix and edgeworth, in ship terms I mean -- and I say that as someone who does not really ship them !!!!!!)
meanwhile ultrakill is Very Much intentionally a metaphor for queerness [AND is written by queers]. it is far more visceral. hopeful. and captivating in its depiction of a queer(coded) story through its development of gabriel. who goes from warm milk drinker jesus freak to doing what he loves (fighting a worthy opponent <- gauy sex metaphor. smiles) regardless of how much time he has left. he goes against what his whole existence is based around and who he has followed the whole time (kind of like when my family was homophobic to me so I killed them and then showed one of their decapitated heads to an audience)
the most edgeworth can flaunt in terms of Intentional queercoding is the line abt him not wanting to get married in aa6. which could also just be 'id rather focus on work than romance rn' !
“that man” in investigations is funny and all but it's a “we want this game to be standalone and can't mention the mainline protag” thing. there is the valentines day post. the rings.
but it's “accidental queerbait turns into intentional queerbait for sales” vs. “purposeful queercoding to tell a queer story”
[THIS IS MY MAIN POINT SO IM MAKING IT HUGE]
yup. that's right. miles edgeworth voters are CAPITALISTS!! (the miles edgeworth nendo on my desk is looking at me sadly rn)
but anyways. i just generally believe ultrakill is a better story if you're looking at it from a queer lens. ace attorney is Quite Obviously not built that way.
--
that was the end of what I had written in the tags. as u can see I need to be lobotomized. i am so sorry. anyways the guy in the tags who said edgeworth would never [REDACTED] was so real ily and whoever wrote the propaganda for gabe in the og post is underselling it SO hard.
a few rapid fire points i thought of while pacing thinking about KILLING MURDER DIE:
gianni does a great job VAing gabe, i need you to listen to some of the voicelines. provided to me ages ago by pink. thank you pink
NEVER FUCKING MIND THE AUDIO WAS STOPPING ME FROM POSTING THIS AND NOW I CAN'T REUPLOAD IT. FUCK MY STUPID BAKA LIFE. anyways I'll still post the transcripts I had and maybe I'll add them tomorrow if I feel like it
1. "show me what you were made for! (laughter)
2. "what is this feeling?!"
3. "i've never had a fight like this before!"
4. "come get some blood! (laughter)"
5. "come on machine, fight me like an animal!"
6. "i'll show you true splendor!"
7. "so this is what you see in bloodshed…"
8. "machine, I know you're here. I can smell the insolent stench of your bloodstained hands. I await you down below."
9. "twice? beaten by an object… twice?! i've only known the taste of victory, but this taste… is… is this my blood? hah. i've never known such, such relief. i- i need some time to think. we will meet again, machine."
cum to me
"like just. the deliveries of these. it's intentionally veeery different to everything else gabe has said before." <- had this written before tumblr told me to FUCKING KILL MYSELF!
as well as that. the event these lines are delivered in. is when gabriel is ECSTATIC. completely lost in the battle with v1. what the scallop
ferryman and gabriel btw. lol. lol. lol. be not afraid sinner your devotion to god shows goodness to you plentiful indeed the heart is willing but the body must rest lest you squander one of the lord's creations. or whatever.
ferryman (blue guy) PAINTED this. "Radiant is Gabriel, for he is the light in my darkness." good lird. sorry for murdering you
ermmmm I don't know what else. I had other things in mind but I can't think of them anymore sorry guys
WAIT NEVERMIND IVE GOT IT. Ace Attorney doesn't have meat and violence and blood and animal and christianity metaphors and motifs like Ultrakill does and you just know I have to go insane over that
Sighs. Big sigh. I haven't been into ultrakill OR ace attorney in like six months minimum. What took over me here. So sorry everyone (I was supposed to do shit that was due tomorrow and I wrote this for two hours instead)
If gabriel loses now this is going to be incredibly embarrassing for me. sorry if some of this makes no sense I was supposed to have a nap when I started this. Anyways vote for whoever you want. Happy voting !!
9. "twice? beaten by an object… twice?! i've only known the taste of victory, but this taste… is… is this my blood? hah. i've never known such, such relief. i- i need some time to think. we will meet again, machine."
prev Im losing my shit. I woke up this morning, saw a friend had messaged me about an essay and was like. erm. checked a gc and seen I had written an essay for gaybriel to rival the fucking narumitsu bible for 2 hours and I didn't remember doing it
btw there's more people asking for edgeworth sweep so I'm going to compile a few more points I've seen people make in the tags
(the two images above are from ghostisredacted if you actually want to dm them btw. Smiles)
(so true pink laywright DOES sweep)
boob69 hexdecimal code ME suit is a lie btw
^^ LMFAO ?
the bodypillows in question:
note on the flipped pillow on gabriel's side: V1's coins and gun. absolutely deranged
marrssbarrss' image is super funny btw love that
and finally
COME ON ULTRAKILLERS. WHERE'S YOUR ANGER? WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING RAGE? RISE. RISE. RISE.
erm. in short. tldr even
artist drew trans porn of gabe and got a job from it (YOUR YAOI ARTIST ON AA1 IS NOTHING TO US)
NiN reference in his act II dialogue (the "fight me like an animal" line)
the whole point of the act II fight is to make him realise his feelings werent anger but passion all along (is that not queer coded ?!?!?! its better than edgeworth's coming-back-to-the-courtroom development too gabriel didnt suibait v1 for no reason)
ace attorney exists at this point for capcom to milk money from people like you who see the matching handbags and rings and ohhh he chartered a private jet to see him and the not-psychics KNEW he was coming somehow even though they were faking psychic 🥺🥺like if ur gonna use this stuff as evidence at least acknowledge that You're making me a little mad
your narumitsu bible is NOTHING to me. i read that WHOLE THING and still came out unconvinced. LAYWRIGHT SWEEPS HARDER
gabriel was referred to as gay alllll the time in the beta builds (see img)
bodypillows confirm HE FUCKED THAT MACHINE‼💥
the devs are actually LGBT. if you even care about gay rights.
Okay so I spent another hour on this instead of doing my fucking uni work AGAIN. sorry for putting this in your notifs prev and sorry for putting this on your homepage again mutuals. if you're following my art account you're about to get hit by this twice too I'm that desperate
thank you to the people whose tags I stole for being as passionate as I am about this. please vote gaybriel
I know that this is somewhat related to the HTTYD meme but Raphael would approve to V1's attempt to be charming around confused Fallen Gabriel who is trying to figure what the freak is the machine doing, unbeknownst to him that Raphael is hiding in the bushes behind him as he gave it a thumbs up like it was going well when its not. xD
THIS IS SO CUTE....honestly believe raphael would be the one to support their relationship the quickest because at this point all he really wants is. some love and happiness in the world. so i can see him trying to help v1 like "ok here's some great advice on angelic relationships and courting!!!" and despite his best efforts, v1 is unfortunately the one interpreting all this info lol so it's hopping around and flaring out its wings (unnerving. bizarre. AGGRESSIVE) with raphael SO proud of how good it's doing while gabe is like "is this bug GOING to bite me???"
V2 would take care of me... V2 would stay in bed n put pressure on my stomach to help with my pain. V2 would give me soup and help me eat when I'm too shaky to hold the spoon.. v2 would hug me and carry me back in my room after I vomited and am too weak to walk alone... V2 would care im sur it would. When nobody cares for me I can count on v2. V2 will always love me
V2 would care if I disappeared randomly one day, v2 would care if I died , v2 would care If I got an incurable disease. V2 would love menno matter what. V2 is The only person I have tbh.. v2 would remember my birthday, v2 would Remember our anniversary, v2 wouldn't be mad that I forgot something.
