IT'S ANOTHER LYRIC FROM STRAHLENDER KARMARITTER I CAN'T GET THE SONG OUT OF MY HEAD gsfgsfgsdf

in english the lyric is 'jealous winter sun / cold as vichyssoise,' and knights in shining karma is a song about franziska but the lyric jealous winter sun will ALWAYS just GET ME in reference to her, i think about it so much. the cold/fire metaphors. the anger. it gets me.

it's a fic that takes place right after franziska gets shot in 2-4, miles is driving her to the emergency room while she complains and insults him the whole time and he fights off a panic attack. it's probably the whumpiest thing i've ever written, no one is having a good time gfhfghgf.

God, she was so mad at him. This lonely, horrible, impossible year—he’d left her alone to grieve her father, left her alone to grieve him, run off and left her in his dust because he was too much of a tepid coward to face the people who sobbed at his back and begged him not to go. And then he comes back like it’s nothing, and rubs salt in her wounds while her world falls apart at its seams, and he doesn’t even allow her the dignity of driving herself to the emergency room.

“For the last time, Franziska,” Miles says, reading the sour look on her face like tea leaves, “you do not have a driver’s license.”

“How hard can it be?”

“Plenty, even for a person with two operating arms.”

franziska: anyone who breaks the law will face the sting of leather

also franziska: give me the fucking wheel miles

Second of all, I have a few questions! Is there something in the Ace Attorney canon you feel could be improved? Something you’d write a fix-it fic for? Is there a particular bit of characterization of your faves that you feel people often get wrong or disregard? Out of all of the one shot (one case?) characters, who’s your favorite?

JHJFDHGJKDFGFD OH YOURE FINE i have enough popular posts on this website that its all just bg noise to me haha

thank for question :3

Is there something in the Ace Attorney canon you feel could be improved?

probably. i've grown out of being critical of media tho. unless it's a special interest i've had for a really long time i just prefer to turn my brain off and enjoy things ghfghg

Something you’d write a fix-it fic for?

that being said, i COULD fix big top. i constantly think about fixing big top. honestly if i wasn't a coward i'd novelize all of justice for all and make it better. but i would make celeste and adrian sisters and i feel like people would NOT like that lmao.

Is there a particular bit of characterization of your faves that you feel people often get wrong or disregard?

uhhh fanon manfred sucks so bad. he's the worst. i hate fanon manfred and all the people who act like ur a weirdo if you don't subscribe to him. i am not surprised that the tumblr/twitter AA fandom is full of puriteens who can't understand nuance in characters but it is just SO fucking weird to me that they saw a guy do two whole murders and were like....... yeah but that's not bad enough wouldn't it be soooo edgy if he beat his kids

in literally every single canon there is more evidence that he was loved and loved them in return, or at the very least made them feel loved even if it was ingenuine on his part. i could compile fucking PILES of evidence to explain all the reasons why its weird that people think manfred is abusive. literally every time his proteges talk about or to him there is little undercurrent of anything sinister?? people ESPECIALLY go ham on this idea that he was cruel and abusive to miles, but miles is way more outwardly fond of him than franziska is?

like doesn't the love make him MORE despicable? MORE interesting? doesn't the idea of a loving father who took in this orphaned boy and raised him as one of his own only to turn on him and excessively frame him for the murder of his father sound INFINITELY more tragic and interesting to think about than just shitty child abuser does a murder, abuses kids, tries to get one executed in prison, dies

the only evidence the manfred is abusive crowd even have for their claims is investigations which isn't even written by the main AA team. and while i ADORE those games, they have character problems!!! like. one of the most important bits of character from the OG trilogy was franziska's disinclination to use her whip on miles. across the whole trilogy the only time she did was when he was having a ptsd episode and it was her version of slapping some sense into him. investigations are good games, but they overlook little details like that and tend to tell off-center versions of these characters, and the line where manfred just randomly fuckin calls miles worthless out of NOWHERE is an example of that (especially when they are??? like??? normal that whole case??? and just kinda buddying around?? seriously wtf is with that line)

and the fanon manfred crowd cannot even like. stop it at he's a manipulative shithead (which he is but like. about other things fdghfdgf) like he's homophobic he's transphobic he's. SOMETIMES HE'S CATHOLIC WHICH IS REALLY FUCKING FUNNY BESTIE HE IS GERMAN? the worst thing is they make him ableist ive seen so many takes like "manfred didn't let miles get glasses because he saw it as an imperfection" "manfred probably used ABA on his autistic protoges" BESTIE HE IS DISABLED. BESTIE. HEY BESTIE. BESTIE HE WALKS WITH A CANE. BESTIE HE IS LITERALLY--HE IS ON SCREEN RIGHT NOW USING A MOBILITY AID I'M GONNA-- I'LL FUCKING EAT YOU ALIVE

here's how i have to look for fic of my Blorbo:

did you know? there were approximately 900 fics in the mvk tag before i plugged these into the exclude field. when i hit exclude, that number dropped to 700. HELLO?

i literally feel like the whole fandom is gaslighting me sometimes what fucking GAMES did you play. anyways heres more of me ranting on this topic if you want it.

Out of all of the one shot (one case?) characters, who’s your favorite?
