#ace markey

It's starting yay! Ace episode surely. Will it be with Taylor? With Mai? A secret third option...? I'm gonna be happy no matter what :D

Taylor: ...

Taylor!!! We finally get to meet the guy!!! I'm losing my fucking mind already and no words have been spoken yet. Also Ace is in the outfit dev drew when they took requests, so cute!

Taylor: Is this dumbass...

Three words in Ace Markey has already received an insult. Oh we are so immensely back.

Canon Taylor design and voice!!! I know people are about to go absolutely feral over this. Also he's a bit of a jokester, seems like. Funny!

Taylor: Rise and shine, princess.

One line in and he insulted Ace. One spoken line in and he's already farming thirst traps. Is this the most efficient character in history???

Huh, interesting that noted coward Ace will actually hit Taylor. I guess if they're friends they're more playful around each other than usual, but still.

Bro what the fuck is going on. A body's about to be discovered and we're not even in a killing game ToT

Ace: Oh. The [race] you beat me by half a second...

What. Taylor was that good at jockeying? I mean I guess to an extent the horse plays a factor, but still. Kinda crazy. Like a minute in and already there's lore, Taylor really is the most efficient character in the series lmao.

[Taylor talks about the first pick horse thing] Oh so it was the horse. Which means Taylor has already caused an "FF should just let the video play for two more seconds" moment. The efficiency continues ToT

Ace: Yeah, no, you're a competition-obsessed freak.

Oh my god they were character foils...

[Taylor talks about competition] That kinda character, I see. Wonder how he'd feel about Min if he learnt of the poison thing <- Says the person who is totally not obsessed with Min or anything.

Taylor: That's why you're the only one for me, Ace.

AND it's doomed yaoi, of course it is! But that was known before he even had a line, just from the main series. Truly, Taylor's efficiency cannot be matched.

Taylor: We have an equal amount of wins and losses (paraphrased)

Oh so he really is just cracked actually. Very interesting...

I wonder if we're gonna address Taylor's death this episode or not lmao.

Taylor: That next race is gonna determine who's gonna be the Ultimate Jockey (p.)

... He absolutely died in that race right. Maybe not, but it's the first thing that came to mind. Kinda insane there were two Ultimate Jockey candidates going around at the same time. Anyways, seeing Taylor so hyped is fun!

Ace: What?

Fully aware that this might be an "FF should play the video longer" situation, but Ace how do you not know this.

Taylor: Ms. Naegi is gonna spectate (p.)

MS. NAEGI NAMEDROP!!!!!!! AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!! Oh, LGI memories... we're actually so immensely back.

Ace: Yeah...

Damn, Ace doesn't seem happy. Very interesting... I figure this might be were the "someone who wants to change" thing comes into play. He doesn't like being a jockey, and getting the Ultimate title would almost lock him into doing it. Kinda sucks for the guy.

Ace: You'll laugh. Taylor: I won't. Not if you sound that serious.

Oh the yaoi is strong on this one huh. Crazy things happening for the Ace Markey fandom lmao.

[Taylor talks about putting it all on the line again] Really don't think that's the issue man.

Ace: I'm scared of winning!

Called it! Not that it was hard to call but y'know.

[Ace talks about being scared] Okay now Taylor how do you not know Ace doesn't like jockeying. That's, like, one of the first three things we learnt about him lmao. Guess Ace probably wouldn't be super forward in talking about it when Taylor is so passionate though, so makes some sense.

Ace: You're an overachiever who actually tries.

Write this down: Everything is a Min parallel if you're delusional enough.

Ace: Doesn't it seem like my whole life was set up for me to be a jockey?

Fate theme baby, oh I love DRDT.

Ace: If Ms. Naegi is picking Ultimate Jockey, you know who she's gonna pick (p.)

FATE THEME BABY, OH I LOVE DRDT!

Ace: I'm not good at anything else.

You know, knowing now how desperate Arei was to be an Ultimate makes their parallels even better than they already were. Ace feels like it's his only option even though he doesn't want to and Arei wants nothing else than being an Ultimate :p

Taylor: Quit being a jockey, duh.

Bruh did you not hear anything ToT

[Ace and Taylor call each other stupid] Yeah these two wanna make out really bad lol.

Ace: I'm scared of quitting more.

Literally everything this guy does is out of fear, it'd be funny if it weren't so sad...

Taylor: Even if you hate yourself, you'll still be alive.

So about that ToT (to be fair quitting would have gotten him out of the killing game so it's kinda true lmao)

Taylor: And I'll still be here (p.)

SO ABOUT THAT.

Ace: You only hang around me because you think I'm your rival...

Brother in Christ how can you make the yaoi this doomed ToT DRDTdev did it again!

Taylor: We'll compete in something else. Something we both suck at (p.)

Augh Taylor... Ace... ToT

Taylor: How about pool? Arm wrestling? (p.)

Arm wrestling is possibly the funniest thing he could've brought up considering Events lmao.

CW: Eating disorders

Ace: You want to have a hotdog eating contest?

... I know this part is silly and lighthearted and goofy but it does hit a little bit that the thing that really makes the guy with the eating disorder snap is that.

CW over

Ace: They ground up human criminals and put them in hot dogs! (p.)

Ace what in the actual fuck are you talking about.

Taylor: Markey-Riley Post-Jockeying era (p.)

My guy is actually one portmanteau away from making up his own ship name lmao.

Ace is blushing bruh it's cooked ToT 15000000 Marley ship fanarts incoming.

Ace: You're dealing with Victoria's death glare.

New character name dropped, Ace lore continues to go crazy.

WHAT THE FUCK???? The Nagito jacket??? Is this part of the official design for Ms. Naegi??? We're losing our minds we're losing our minds we're losing our minds. That hair style... why are there so many narrative ghosts with that kinda hairstyle. Mai, Teacher, Ms. Naegi... shit goes crazy. Fucking insane to contrast what Ace is saying with what we know happened, even DRDTdev is roasting the guy ToT

Alright so why is she wearing the sinister ass hood of malice and evil ToT

Taylor: I got kicked out of the debate club, so that means I'm good at debating.

Bro. Why is he like this?

Ace: Fine! I'll quit!

So what the hell happened here? I'm starting to think Hope's Peak just got Taylor's ass when they learnt he was talking the Ultimate Jockey out of jockeying, but that's a serious step above everything we've heard so far lmao.

Ace: For once, I feel like I'm not as scared (p.)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH Oh Ace you make me sad. DRDT makes me so sad, I love it so much ToT

Ace: You're too ugly to look at for so long! Taylor: Huh? Why would you say that? I'm not holding a mirror up or anything.

It's actually crazy how good they are at insulting each other lmao.

Taylor: I think you still need to compete in that race (p.)

Oh so that really is when Taylor died, got it. Fucking hell, right at the literal and metaphorical finish line ToT

AUGH THEY'RE SO SILLY AND GOOFY AND HAPPY AAAAAAH

Ace: For this last race, I'm gonna go all out.

Oh my God, Taylor 100% died there. What the fuck could Ace have possibly done for it to end like this? ToT

Taylor: ... so that there'll be no regrets.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Okay, we don't get to see how the race went. I'm still gonna think Taylor died during it, because come on. We've stated again and again that jockeying is dangerous, and Taylor said he'd help Ace get out of jockeying afterwards and it didn't happen, and Ace blames himself for Taylor's death, and there's so much focus on that last race... Oh it's cooked. I wonder why they wouldn't show it, but I guess it's inferrable enough that they don't really need to.
