NOT TO MENTION THEY INTERACT A LOT IN CANON + ATHENA IS LIKE BOTH THEIR DAUGHTER + YOU CAN'T TELL ME THIS ISNT SOME SORT OF WEIRD FORM OF FLIRTING

P L E A S E HEAR ME OUT

oh my god a wrightquill ask?? **starts violently shaking my raft**

Because AA5 kinda erases AA4 Phoenix's character we are just. not acknowledging it. Instead we get a lawyer with AA4 Phoenix's personality bc that makes sense in my head, which intrigues Simon bc this Phoenix Wright is not the Phoenix Wright he heard about from his law classes

pulling in my own au here where the first time Phoenix meets Simon is actually during the 7 year gap as a favor to Miles. Phoenix was instructed to study Simon and see if he was a trustworthy man. while he still did not understand Simon after that, he's pretty convinced that Simon wasn't a murderer after that

he keeps coming back to play poker with Simon after that, whenever Kristoph starts getting under his skin. Simon can't complain – it gets lonely as fuck in jail – but he is a little confused

unfortunately they bond. its what happens when you both have overwhelming feelings of guilt revolving around protecting your weird little girl while being blamed for the law world absolutely going to shit

They also bond over the mortifying ordeal of caring about someone who wasn't who they said they were and said person also trying to kill them at some point, bc thats an oddly hyperspecific situation they can both relate to

they will occasionally play poker together on terrible evil days when they want to exist as their worst selves

Anyways after Simon's exonerated and he's had his mental breakdown, Phoenix is the most helpful in bringing Simon back to semi-normal life (along with Athena) because Phoenix knows what it's like to be forced to get back to normalcy after living approx. seven years on the edge

indulging in my asian-american nature for a moment. Simon is half Japanese while Phoenix is completely Japanese but is a immigrated to America at a very young age and is not in touch with his culture at ALL. He thought he didn't care about his culture until he started talking with Simon and then he realized that unfortunately he cares A Lot. So Simon gets to infodump on him while Phoenix gets to learn

The first time one of them kisses the other, Phoenix kisses Simon's cheek in front of the rest of the WAA and then just LEAVES, turning off his phone, and subjecting Simon to the WAA's questioning like the smug bastard he is

both Simon and Taka are big fans of the stubble

Simon makes a lot of bird jokes/phoenix jokes at Phoenix's expense bc you know. birds. jokes on Simon, they forgot to inform him that Phoenix is a dad pun menace

As is customary for every person Phoenix dates/is friends with, Simon loves the Steel Samurai and watches it religiously with Miles, Maya, and Trucy at Phoenix's apartment. Phoenix will never escape the Steel Samurai. half of his apartment is covered with Steel Samurai Merch.

- Truth be told, it wasn’t easy for either of them to confess due to fear of rejection. Maybe even disgust. Simon was the one to confess first saying “I have grown rather fond of you. Perhaps more than I should, Wright-dono.”

- Phoenix was very shocked but relieved because he, obviously, felt the same way and returned his feelings with a smile and a brief kiss on the lips, which the samurai liked.

- Their faces were as red as a strawberry, but they were officially dating, so they didn’t really care. They were in love and HOLDING HANDS, dammit.

- First date: coffee after work. They talked about various things. Most of them were related to how things would work out between them. In fact, Simon constantly thanked him for saving him from death’s grip. Phoenix laughed with his cheeks flushed and put his hand on top of the other’s. You know, as a sign of affection.

- Second date: the Steel Samurai reboot at Wright’s apartment where no one would disturb them. Imagine Phoenix putting an arm around his boyfriend’s shoulders and getting an amused chuckle out of him, which he totally did.

Gay Simon Saturdays!

Basically, I will announce prompts each Saturday in the same fashion as the week!  If you wish to participate, write or draw or do something creative celebrating gay Simon Blackquill!  The prompts will be announced one week in advance, so you will have that time to create things!  For example, today’s given prompt will be due next Saturday, and I’ll announce a new one next week, and so on and so on!  

The tag for these will be #gaysimonsaturdays!  Please tag your content with this and I will reblog it here!  

The first prompt is one that was requested/suggested for the week but I elected not to go with it, so I figured we could open with that! 

Alternative Universe

Well :) apparently I don’t know how to ration my weekends because this is really REALLY late

Supposed to be the final day for @gaysimonblackquillweek, the theme being “Red String of Fate”. This was the second picture I meant to dedicate to @aceprosecuties, because I know how much they love Wrightworthquill and I figured I might as well dedicate the last day to thank them for the starting and running gayblackquillqeek

It was a fun time and now I can draw Blackquill without a ref :’)
