#garan

There's Garan, the leader. Balta, the second-in-command and a skilled tinkerer. Dalu, the team's best fighter. Velika, a Great Being in disguise and the team's inventor, even more skilled than Balta. Piruk, the spy, their eyes inside the Piraka stronghold.

And then there's Kazi. He's a realist. His job is to stand there and remind everyone how utterly boned they are.

forgot about this in my drafts for literally months oops. Anyway. Finished now!!!!

So I made this post a while ago that has some of the prosecutors and antagonists, but if you want a ranking of EVERY prosecutor (not including DGS bc i haven't finished yet) huzzah!!

Simon Blackquill: Not actually homophobic but he gets points docked for siccing Taka (known homophobe) at Klavier (known bisexual) for stealing his pretzels from the office pantry that one time. 3/10

Blaise Debeste: I think he's gay but he made me look at that ugly ass beard for far too long and I consider that disrespectful. out of principle? 8/10

Sebastian Debeste: Just look at him. 0/10

Miles Edgeworth: Bratworth was simultaneously gay, homophobic, and a misogynist, and eventually develops into a man who is only like 1.5 of those things. he's getting better. 5/10

Byrne Faraday: I don't really think he cares much about gay people he's busy being a single father and stealing shit. For the apathy? 2/10

Klavier Gavin: He's extremely gay and does a lot of work for the gay community but making Ema Skye deal with him is explicitly lesbophobic so 4/10

Godot: He has a lovely wife but whatever he was doing with Ron DeLite was probably not osha-compliant. I don't know what that means for his sexuality or stance on gay people and neither does he. ?/10

Ga'ran: I think she has a lot of other problems she should deal with first but considered she's bigoted to defense attorneys I don't think her being homophobic would be that out of pocket. Not sure I want to find out. 7/10

Neil Marshall: Have you ever been a gay bar? This guy would do NUMBERS. Also, real cowboys support gay rights. 0/10

Gaspen Payne: Being homophobic is actually why he got fired by the prosecutor's office and Winston is really fucking embarrassed about it. 10/10

Winston Payne: You'd think he'd be homophobic but you can't work for the Japanifornia Prosecutor's Office and hate gay people or you would actually go insane. He's like that one suburban guy who uses terms from the 60s but has the spirit. However, his ally lapel pin is really ugly so 3/10

Jaques Portman: He was calling Edgeworth slurs even before realizing he was gay. 9/10

Lana Skye: Dated Mia in college but refused to explain that to Ema because she has a lot of internalized homophobia and other weird issues of self. Repressed yuri personified. 1/10

Nahyuta Sahdmadhi: He supports gay people but gets all his talking points from the internet so even though he's supportive he's also incredibly fucking annoying about it and no one wants to invite him to brunch because of it. Stop using twitter for fact-checking you jackass. 2/10

Franziska Von Karma: Despite the fact that her lesbianism is so strong it borders on misandry, I think she has a lot of internalized homophobia so she spends the first 25 years of her life being a judgmental little shit. She'll get better dw about it. I believe she can bring that number down with time. 6/10

Renders of the Voya Nui Matoran Resistance, with the bonus Matoran Makuta render:

The Prompt: Show one character reeling from an uncovered family secret and the other trying to support them in mildly concealed horror.

"Did you hear?" asked Balta, grabbing Garan by the shoulders, shaking him just a little. "Did you know?"

"What is the matter?" Garan gave himself a little space gently. Balta was shocked in a way the Onu-Matoran had not see him on Spherus Magna, had not seen him since the Piraka's rule on Voya Nui.

"Velika," said Balta, struggling to get the words out. "He's not a Matoran. He's... something."

"I haven't seen Velika in quite a while," said Garan. "If he's become a Toa--"

"Not a Toa,' interrupted Balta. "He's never been a Matoran. He's claiming to be a Great Being, to have meddled in our history constantly--to have made us as we are. And now he's the one causing all the trouble. Causing Marendar."

Garan shook his head.

"Velika?" he asked, confused. "Funny, cryptic, harmless Velika?"

"Not harmless," said Balta darkly. "Meddling."

"But, Velika..." and somehow it came to Garan right then. "He did lead us to form the Resistance."

"Well, he's not on our side now," said Balta. He tried to make Garan understand. "Marendar caught the Toa--our Toa, the Mahri. We don't know if there were any survivors."
