Burn, baby, burn

i also think the fact that after turnabout samurai will powers and phoenix kinda become friends is a source of significant torture to edgeworth even after edgeworth gets normal* because phoenix doesn't even appreciate what he's got. like will powers calls phoenix up to invite him to nice events, no you don't understand, the Steel Actual Samurai is Calling Phoenix Wright (His Lawyer), First, to Invite Him. to things. and phoenix is just like huh, he's social i guess. the steel actual fucking samurai. guess ill go to the premiere of the new 2 steel 2 samurai movie. with the steel actual real fucking legitimate samurai who called me first. don't have anything else to do. edgeworth is 99% sure will powers has a small crush on phoenix and phoenix does not even notice. he's just like yeah that will powers guy is friendly huh? i don't think he's got many friends if he's inviting his lawyer to stuff. and edgeworth is steaming jealous. and phoenix is like you wanna come? edgeworth is like I do not think I am welcome. phoenix is like sure you are, will likes you. edgeworth is like I Am Sure Your Dear Friend With Whom You Are On A First Name Basis (The Steel Samurai) Recalls The Time I Tried To Get Him (Steel Samurai) Convicted And Sentenced To Death. phoenix is like well he asks about you all the time. and edgeworth is like He Is Just Being Polite (He Is The Steel Samurai). I Am Going Now. To Brood. and the thing is edgeworth IS invited and will powers thinks he's hot but telling edgeworth this has a 73% chance of locking him in a torture gauntlet for all time

#another dimension to this: in the nrmts rship WP is edgeworth's hall pass#which is weird for someone they personally know but phoenix is chill about it because he knows#1) edgeworth would never do anything about it due to it would break his brain and#2) he would be ecstatic if edgeworth DID do this because it would be fucking hilarious#a long time later WP says to nick are you still with miles edgeworth? you're a lucky guy! and phoenix is like I HAVE TO CALL MY BOYFRIEND#EDGEWORTH GET OVER HERE NOW IT'S HAPPENING#rookposting#ace attorney#i think a lot of people have a crush on nick actually. he has that gormless unyielding hero vibe#watching a guy you barely know froth at the mouth in despair from the sheer effort of saving your life. it worked on Edgeworth
