in college me and two friends were working on our cosplays when their roommate walked in. she asked what we were working on. the gal working on her pyramid head apron immediately said "RAPE" (because silent Hill horror), I was working on Naruto's sexy no jutsu (he turns into a naked woman) for our skit about censorship so I followed with "nakedness", and the friend who lived there finished with a hesitant "uh... prosecuting attorney?" the roommate said, gratefully, "oh we'll that sounds normal" holding up yards of fuchsia fabric "... not really"
I think about Karina's description of Apollo Justice a lot. "You play as this guy who is adopted by no less than 4 theater kids" If you wanted to include it, it's in one of the drawing fan art videos.
Also There is a guy named Larry Butz and every case also has a very predictable twist except for like the final one in the DS sequel series which hit me like a truck so i dont wanna spoil it
Is it just me or do gay people inevitably end up projecting their headcanons onto characters who have any positive relationship (unless they are opposite sexes)? It feels like the equivalent of “the curtains are blue which represents his sadness”. They’re not always wrong, but that’s also inevitable when you throw it out everywhere
Headcannons and interpretations are more nuanced than that. And that’s not what this video is about, but I will speak on this subject for the sake of being kind and understanding that you may not understand this topic. Just as the equivalent you bring up “the curtains are blue because…” Anyone who interacts with the media can interpret things in different ways. Those interpretations (especially the example you bring up) are open and often welcome. It’s problematic to make it about gay people doing it, when everyone does it. That doesn’t even begin to dip into the cultural context of queerness and how little there is in the media. There is queer media being produced, but that doesn’t amount to the huge percentage of non-LGBTQIA people/characters. Straight people do the exact thing- Making headcannons of fiction. Because they are headcannons and no characters (in Ace Attorney) have a confirmed sexuality label. There is no harm in making headcannons. It’s not limited to something only gay people do and it’s not something you should be worrying about (especially here, where people are having fun).
@@jellyblobbb We do, though. We do tend to do it more than any of the others. I think the worst thing about it though is how that one scene is interpreted as "a funny gay joke" *ALL THE TIME*, so people miss that line being a turning point in Edgeworth's character development. This scene comes right after Edgeworth not only loses the trial, but stops himself from winning because he knew Vasquez was guilty - something that goes against his entire legacy and teachings. He literally clarifies the "unnecessary feelings" the *VERY NEXT SENTENCE* as doubting himself and what he was taught after beliving in it so heavily. But people constantly miss that because they misinterpret the scene as LOLMAO GAY JOKE? THEY GAY! I really fucking hate gay people, sometimes. I hate that I count as one of them. Non-gays never ruin that scene for themselves.
A friend of mine once told me how much they knew about Amphibia from the bits and pieces they got from a classmate who was deep in the fandom, the most prominent piece of information was that “there’s a throuple”, and I think that’s about the same as your first introduction to Edgeworth being that he’s gay
I appreciate this!! Especially all the editing and writing the words out! And thank you very much for linking the og episode in the description, that's always good!
things i only know about from drawfee (karina mostly): - ace attorney - cats (2019) - neopets - digimon - columbo - supernatural (except my girlfriend made me watch a few episodes too) - twilight thank you millennials for enlightening me 🙏🙏
Karina forced me to buy these games and play them. She hacked my Switch and then also made me enjoy these games (for the most part, there is some pretty bad fatphobia in the Studio Case). Thanks Karina.
Ace Attorney hits kind of this weird middle ground where it seems like they're trying to specifically not be mean spirited and to make most of the characters sympathetic, but every now and then you have one of those frustrating animesque jokes, when the writing is often so much better than that and you can otherwise overlook all the anime stuff. Like making boob jokes about someone who at the same time might be the most competent person to ever live in the setting. All while somehow not even being particularly horny about it because the main dev was trying to write something his grandmother could play.
gonna be honest i completely forgot about this episode and thought it was gonna be the clip where karina talks about one of them getting run over or something. i dont even remmeber if she was talking about ace attorney ehrn she was talking about people getting run over. nontheless very enjoyable, i cant wait to rewatch this episode
the way that i completely forgot that phoenix gets hit by a car in one of the apollo justice cases and was stuck wondering for a solid few seconds what in the world karina talking about people getting run over had to do with ace attorney 😭
Edgeworth is interesting, cause I want to say so bad that he's actually ACE. I mean let's face it, Nuerodivergence and queerness often go hand in hand, it seems impossible for a condition/perspective that changes the way you socialize to not affect romantic interest. It feels like to me that Edgeworth has... Absolutely no aspirations of making friends or lovers, until Phoenix is like "Well we already are frienda fucker" and he's like "damn he literally is right". Not to mention it seems like Fanziska is on some level interested in him (hard to tell if it's a brotherly thing or not) but she actively knows he won't reciprocate. All that being said... Yeah Edgeworth is gay AF.
The Ace Attorney games are great because everyone hears about Miles being gay but just dismisses it as baseless shipping until they actually play the game, and then without fail, they go "wait, he's actually gay?"
I'm only now realizing how boring Ace Attourney sounds if you've never heard of it. "You're a lawyer and you investigate crime" does not sound fun if you dont know about the _witnesses_
