Parker’s International House Of Brainteasers

Welcome to my blog! Please read this get to know me before continuing.

I'm Parker (the artist formally known as Cody and/or Katie), I'm 28, and pronoun neutral. (She/he/they- it is all okay! Gender is like religion to me, I recognize that it can mean a lot to someone and give them some sort of comfort and meaning, but personally I am not in a place where I'm one of those people, and I'll respect your view as long as you respect mine.) By day, I’m a mild-mannered if a little bit eccentric hotel receptionist, and by night, I’m a mild mannered if a little bit eccentric hotel employee… trying to sleep. I’m autistic but I’m also a silly goose, so if something seems odd, it might be because something isn’t clicking or it also might be because I’m doing a bit. I also have dyscalculia (which is a lot like dyslexia but for math) and often joke that I never learned how to count. I change my profile picture like once a week for no real reason other than I'm vibing with a different character now.

I grew up on the puzzle games of the early aughts but sort of fell out of love with them somewhere in the last 10 years and have only been getting back into it over the past few years. I have played 999: Zero Escape, the original Ace Attorney trilogy, both Great Ace Attorney Chronicles games, both Ace Attorney Investigations games, the “Apollo Justice trilogy” (derogatory), Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright, both Layton trilogies, Layton Brothers Mystery Room, Layton’s Mystery Journey, OneShot, Trace Memory, Another Code: Recollection, Another Code: Journey Into Two Memories, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, Chase: Cold Case Investigations, Hotel Dusk: Room 215, Last Window: Secrets of Cape West and Death Trick: Double Blind. I am currently playing Path of Mystery: A Brush With Death. I plan to play Afterparty, Broken Age, Danganronpa, Daedalus, Dark Auction, Detective Instinct: Farewell, my Beloved, Famicom Detective Club, Fez, The House In The Fata Morgana, Grim Fandango, Jenny LeClue, Myst, Oxenfree, Paranormasight, Portal one and two, The Rewinder, Syberia 1&2, The Talos Principle, Tangle Tower, and Viewpoint. Not necessarily in that order. I try to be mindful of tagging spoilers appropriately, but proceed with caution regardless. I also queue my posts way in advance but then shuffle it regularly so what I’m playing may get posts immediately or may not get any for three months.

Also, Donkey Kong is my mortal enemy. He is my death and I am his. We are connected by the opposite of the red invisible string of fate. We are inextricably linked by the scarlet thread of murder. We are destined to destroy each other time and time again until we go over the Reichenbach Falls together.

Most of my fandom contributions are shitposts, but sometimes I'll also make graphic edits (most commonly text post memes) or video edits. Sometimes I also will cross post a piece of fanfiction from Ao3 (which is the same username as here). My tag for these is look what I made. For the most part this blog just is original posts because I don’t follow any other fandom blogs. For a long time this blog was just Ace Attorney, but now it’s just my general video game blog.

My personal favorite characters are Miles, Franziska, Kay, Susato, Ema, Katrielle, Ashley Mizuki Robbins, and Kyle Hyde. I ship Wrightworth but I'm not, like, horny about it, and don't really give a shit about shipping discourse. Ship if you want, don't ship if you don't want, I don't really care. Even if I don't agree with your ships, I'm not here to start a fight.

My only real other passions are musical theatre, public libraries, Taylor Swift, and The Mountain Goats but I'll only post about them if it's also somehow crossing over to puzzle games or I’ve made an edit. I also love a good farming simulator, such as Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons, my favorite being Friends of Mineral Town.

The two people who show up the most in my posts, be it in screenshots of text logs or in stupid videos are my older brother and my fiancé. Posts about my partner are tagged ‘the only soul who can tell which smiles I’m faking’. Posts about my brother are tagged ‘my silly rabbit’.

My ask box and submissions are both open, and you can always DM me. It doesn't matter if we've never spoken before, you can start a conversation with me for anything from homework help to "phantom of the opera aa au" and my response will always be trying to help (I'm better at language arts but I'll do my best with STEM) or "are we going with original POTO or LND and is godot the phantom”. I will only ignore you if you're making me uncomfortable, and even then, I'll probably tell you that due to the inappropriate nature the conversation has taken, I'm terminating it. My queue tag is 'queue takumi defense squad'.

“………… You’re gay.”

“Fuck that, now that you’ve finished the case I need you to know

But this notebook doesn’t have a ribbon which means it needs its own bookmark. After much deliberation, I have selected….

Cause let’s be real. These two… these two, they wouldn’t be friends. They wouldn’t be lovers. They are more. They are written in the stars above. They are one soul inhabiting two bodies. They would not be two hearts connecting, they would be one heart finally becoming whole.

Or maybe they’d kill each other.
