Oh definitely. I personally wasn't very grabbed by aa4 as much as I would have expected, partly because I was spoiled by playing the great ace attorney games first, and apollo justice brings a lot of things to the table that get further refined in that duology. (Everyone should go play tgaa if they haven't already- *I am dragged forcibly off the soapbox*)

But I find it interesting that in aa4, you are defending criminals, and that's a very good thing. You are Apollo Justice. All your clients are criminals, yes, and through investigation get found out and are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. (Aside from Phoenix, couch cough). The Kitaki's leave the business and become honest buisnessfolk. Vera's forgeries are discovered, preventing further pieces from being sold on the black market. Machi actually hands himself over to the Japanifornia courts because it is viewed as more benevolent and trustworthy than returning to his home country. They're all sympathetic criminals, and the court is sympathetic to them in turn. The judicial system is painted as something that reforms people and finds answers.

Meanwhile in aa5, the courts are a mess. There's a whole case dedicated to blatantly showing how legal professionals are being trained to disregard actual facts and the one person trying to root out corruption is murdered. Your client goes behind your back to indict themselves because they don't trust the system to not blame an unrelated innocent party. Multiple times. Aura kidnaps and threatens half a dozen people as a direct response to knowing her brother is going to be executed for a murder he didn't commit. There's multiple discussions of not just copaganda, but actual propaganda for the courts as well. It makes everything about the judical system come of as shady, dishonorable, and in desperate need of reform.

today is September 22nd 2024. I am still unwell, but I am also more mature. I am no longer misanthropic. I am a dog who loves people and is full of hope. and as such I no longer stand by the cruel tone of this post! every day I try to be nicer than the last, and every day the "me" who wrote this post is further and further in the past.

this post has 130,000 notes and gains more notes on a daily basis. but the person who wrote this post is gone! the person who wrote this post sleeps inside my heart - and is healing!

I am not better than the person who reblogs this in 2024 to vent frustration at the average starbucks customer. and I am not better than the average starbucks customer. and neither are you. it's our first time being alive. we're learning social conventions as we go. we all have off days, we all have missteps, we all have needs and wants that conflict and annoy each other and make each other "cringe".

well, on September 29th, 2024, I will turn off reblogs for this post and leave it, and its angry tone, in the past for good. say goodbye to your world heritage post, and learn to forgive the petty transgressions that come with communal living.

FEBUWHUMP 2024 PROMPT LIST

this year's prompts were chosen through a suggestion poll (in which we recevied 2,281 prompts) and a subsequent vote, where over 1,000 people voted for their favourites. the top 29 make up the core prompts, and a mixture of the next most popular - and this blog's personal favourites - have become the alternates

i’m so excited to see what you all create with these prompts, and hope they’re inspiring enough to trigger a whole month’s worth of creativity for you! if you have any questions, please check out the blog's faq before sending an ask, or check out the previously asked questions on the blog!

please note: this year, notifying the blog of completionist status will happen through a google form that will be released closer to the end of febuwhump.

full write-up of prompts and rules under the cut:

^U^ Thanks, and Merry Actually Christmas! ;D And XD, no worries, I get it - Edgeworth is very much one of those "Unfortunately, I'm into it" characters in regards to his everything. And I say that as someone who's writing him one of the world's longest love letters in the form of a fic that's going to break 300k when the next chapter goes up and a tidy (if tiny) little AA merch collection that I'm quite proud of, if I do say so myself. ;)

There are a couple of fics I put on the "Honorable Mentions" list last year, and they really need sections of their own. So to start, we're going with one of my favorite series: Moon Out Of Phase verse by Beastrage (@beastenraged)!

This series starts with the premise of Isa traveling back to the past and waking up as Saix again. Using his knowledge of the future, he has to try and avert some of the horrible things that happened in the past, while surviving living with the Organization in the process.

Watching how Isa gradually changes the timeline is fascinating, and his growing relationships with Xion and Demyx are incredibly sweet. The worldbuilding is also super fascinating, and there's a lot of tension as Isa tries to avoid drawing the ire of Xemnas (who is terrifying here).

also me: *calls every 9 year old boy I see a normal neutron and says "the brothers cock!" very loudly when I see two taxis"
