i'm still getting new followers over here somehow despite my tapering activity so. just reblogging this to keep people informed.

I was gonna make a post about how we don't have enough situationally funny wlw aa ships à la langwright and wrightdot, but I think fradrian is kind of funny actually. not only in the "i'm gonna start thinking for myself, and to begin that journey, i will latch on to the most domineering woman i've ever met" sense that the game presents but also in the "ah yes. the sister of the man who told me i should go ahead and kill myself in court is my perfect match for sure" sense.

the reason so many people are quick to act like edgeworth and gumshoe are close friends despite that so clearly not being what the dynamic is is because they're afraid to embrace the deep bond of intimacy and trust you need to be someone's goon. gumshoe is edgeworth's most devoted and trusty henchman. nothing more nothing less.

gumshoe was never edgeworth's best friend but edgeworth Was gumshoe's best friend for awhile. once gumshoe gets married his wife is his best friend instead because gumshoe would never be the kind of guy whose wife isn't his best friend. edgeworth's best friend situation went nobody -> phoenix -> nobody -> franziska -> nobody -> back to phoenix again over the years. but edgeworth actually hasn't been phoenix's best friend since elementary school and he can't ever get back into that slot because it's maya's forever now (it was larry for awhile in the middle there) and phoenix says that doesnt matter you and maya can both be my best friend at the same time. im a grown man. but maya and edgeworth both know this simply isn't true and maya will hold that title until all three of them are dead and maybe after that and edgeworth will simply have to cope

you may ask "what about kay. doesn't she get a chance to be edgeworth's best friend" and i understand that sentiment. but no. because Edgeworth is kay's henchman.
