It makes me sad when I look at Ace Attorney fandom stuff from 10-15 years ago and see how much more comparatively chill and accepting they were of different ships from the most popular ones back then. It wasn’t perfect or free of discourse, obviously, but at least fans could mostly get away with shipping that stuff without getting called horrible people, unlike today where the Ace Attorney fandom is determined to bully anyone who dare ship the Unacceptable Stuff™️ out of the fandom (ESPECIALLY on aatwt my goodness). I know this isn’t just me because I’ve seen even certain older fans note this and say stuff like “Wow I’ve been in the Ace Attorney fandom for years and back then there used to be so many Narumayos and ppl who shipped so-and-so in het I’m so glad these are no longer acceptable we’ve come so far” WRONG. The fandom has turned into a hivemind who think it’s acceptable to unperson others over ships and will sooner sympathize with one who harasses another over a Bad Ship than the one getting harassed because how dare they ship outside the sacred stuff. You really think it’s a good thing the AA fandom environment has gotten tyrannical about what you’re allowed to ship? Old Ace Attorney Shipping Fandom was FAR from perfect, but if your reasons for why it was bad or worse than now are “ships I dislike were allowed to exist” hoooooo boy.

I wish there were more ace attorney fan weeks dedicated to rarepairs. Even though there probably wouldn't be a lot of people participating in them, it would still be fun. As someone who loves a lot of aa rarepairs, I would love to see some weeks dedicated to, like, feenris/phoenris, mitsumayo, claypollo, justicykes, emaya, pearlthena, junipollo, and feyquill (I ship these as qprs mostly)

Apollo, holding a rock: Juniper just gave this to me and said "I feel like you deserve the moon but all I can give you is a rock". Athena: If you don't marry her, I will.

Adorable girls who have crushes and are very open about them, and then have those feelings reciprocated down the line gives me such life. It's a shame they are almost always rarepairs. An exception to those pairs when the girls have crushes on vastly older men.

Good evening only to the other 2 Junipollo shippers out there. I hope you’re doing well. Apollo x Juniper is still cute as hell 11 years later, I love how adorable they are.
