Objection!

the best running theme of Phoenix Wright is that he 100% just rolls with whatever relationship other people decide to have with him. His only girlfriend basically just walked up to him and said “you. we’re dating now and you love me very much” and he was like “yeah okay, lemme know if you have a sweater I can wear to really drive the point home.” The Fey sisters basically grabbed him and said “I guess you’re our brother now” and he was like “yeah sure do you have any family drama I could get involved in?” Even Trucy just sorta told him “hey you’re my dad” and he was like “Mm. Guess I’d better get a job, huh.”

another example: in turnabout goodbyes the old man at the boat shop is like “you’re my son keith and you have to run the noodle stand after i’m gone” and phoenix is just like. okay i guess i’d better go along with this

[ID: fake screenshots of an Instagram post by @EdgeworthOfficial. It shows Miles Edgeworth, shirtless on a beach, skin slightly darker than in canon and top scars visible. It is captioned, ‘Vacation.’ We then see the comments section. ShiLongLang says, ‘(eyes emoji)’. K.Farathey says, “TFTI!!! (breathing in huffily emoji)(tongue out with eyes closed emoji)’ EdgeworthOfficial replies, “I did invite you.” Mayaaaaa comments in all caps with copious question marks, “Hello? Edgeworth thirst trap? @Phoenicks.” The_VonKarma comments, “Why.” We are seeing the post from Phoenix Wright’s perspective, and he has liked the post and all of the comments except for Lang’s.

I love how Apollo canonically does vocal training and doesn't have any reasons for it like music or theater and there are some people out here who still think he's cis.
