REMEMBER 1228

ok fine i'll do it myself

thank youuuuu here's a version of him I did recently with long hair

I disagree with calling it cynical. It isn't "life doesn't go the way you want and that sucks so there's no point," it's "life doesn't always go the way you want, and that sucks, but there's still hope and joy to be had"

Phoenix's career is in shambles but his life has gone on. He has a daughter now who he gets to love and take care of. He shows Apollo the locket with her picture the same way he used to show people his glass bottle necklace and his badge. When he's telling Apollo about his power, really what he's doing is talking proudly about his daughter. When he's in the hospital, a "kid" sends him Steel Samurai DVDs (who I believe to be Maya, if she gets to call him an old man he gets to call her a kid)

Ema still lights up when you bring her fingerprint powder (during the same investigation we first see her!) and whenever forensics is involved, and she becomes friends with Trucy and Apollo

Klavier talks during turnabout serenade about how life is complicated, so he tries to at least stay simple on the inside

Vera learns that while there are a lot of bad people in the world, there's a lot of good people, too

And the whole thing is about the beginning of reform for a corrupt justice system.

She was not a fan of that particular decision

Increasing their power by making them women who are married ⋆˙⟡
