BUT TRUCY 😭 HAPPY, SMILING TRUCY 😭 SHE WAS MY LIGHT 😭

I love how he is mean and demeaning. I love how he thinks everyone around him is stupid.

I love how he doesn't actually care about his clients, not most of them, anyway, but he defends them because he knows it is the right thing to do.

I love how there are like three or four people he actually cares about, and he doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone else.

I love how he gets kind of obsessed about them.

I love how he is quick to love, how he melts the moment anyone gives him any sort of positive attention, to his own detriment.

I love how he gets depressed when he is alone, how closed off he is to the people around him, rarely ever talking about himself, hiding information until it is imposible for him to keep doing it.

I love that he can be conniving and sneaky and stingy.

I love how he, too, struggles with black and white thinking.

I love how despite all of this, Phoenix Wright is still fundamentally, to his core, a good person. He is overwhelmingly kind, and honest, and self-sacrificial. He has strong morals and he sticks to them with an iron grasp, he sticks to them until they break him. Phoenix wakes up every day and instead of choosing violence he chooses to help people in need, even if he personally dislikes them, even if they have betrayed him in the past.

I love how he looks painfully normal at first glance.

Dhurke x Phoenix request 😘

while playing ace attorney 1: man edgeworth sucks. haha this is a funny game with a few serious moments. wait. wait hang on. wait youre telling me WHAT happened in the elevator????? youre telling me THATS why phoenix became a lawyer—

and then he's framed for murder, and you're facing off against a man who's been unbeaten for longer than you've been alive. and he's winning, he's got the trial down to a science.

imagine the boy you dreamed of saving for 15 years is declared guilty of a murder he didn't commit.

and then imagine the other man who stood up for you back then rushes in past the last moment, and mercifully is allowed to testify, but it doesn't seem like it'll do any good. too little, too late, and the boy who used to represent the best of the world to you is going to be branded a murderer

but the testimony has one little contradiction, one little thread to pull, and you're going to tug on it, wind it around your fingers till they bleed, shove it in the court's face like a shining sword as you return a favor for a debt that everyone else forgot
