That Man Could Not Handle My Cramps. I Can Barely Handle Them Myself

as soon as I have time (and finish all the other games I am in the middle of) I want to reply ghost trick

there's replaying ghost trick to see the clues: heck yeah

and there's replaying ghost trick to see the fun dialogue: also heck yeah

don’t expose me like that lol

Hello, I am going to analyze your psyche about what your favorite version of Narumitsu/Wrightworth says about you and give you personalized therapy advice (JOKE!! This is a lighthearted fun jest and I don't really think everybody falls in these categories. So we are all going to be polite to eachother ok!!)

Elementary school aged Nick and Miles: If this is your favorite ship, you're really into the nineties/y2k aesthetic and you miss going to blockbuster. Also you are feeling untethered and like the last time things made sense was when you were young. You want to imagine that if you could turn back time and do things differently, you could stay blissful and happy forever. But you have this creeping feeling that no matter what you do, time is going to keep passing and you will lose touch with people and think of things you wish you could've said but never had a chance to and this is just going to be an endless cycle for the rest of forever. Some of that is true, yes. The best you can do is be honest with the people you know now about how much you care about them so that they can hold that with them always, no matter what happens.

pre-AA1/Feenie x Bratworth: If this is your favorite ship you are in college or most likely high school. The idea that you could find someone in school and them end up being your soulmate for life is really tender and special to you (because you are in high school and you would like to be loved Right Now Please because facing the change of adulthood without someone who loves you by your side scares you). You also find it difficult to care about adults and their adult problems (because you are in highschool) and honestly? That's so valid. Enjoy your time not thinking about them bc one day it will be all you think about. I fear that if you put too much pressure on yourself about finding the perfect relationship, you will miss out on the ephemeral joy of being with another person. Please give yourself grace and try to live in the moment.

Ace Attorney main trilogy Phoenix and Edgeworth: if this is your favorite ship, Edgeworth is your favorite character and you are really invested in his character arc and want to see it tied up neatly with him letting someone into his life. You like your stories to end with "And they all lived happily ever after", because you like the thought that things happen for a reason, and that if you care enough and try hard enough you can fix things. You probably like to think this because your own life has difficulties and you want to escape them for a little while. Things really do get better, but there are some things you may never get closure on. I am sorry, I know it's hard and it hurts. I am sending you my love

Seven year gap beanix and umm glasses edgeworth? (what is his nickname?): Ok even though this is one time period this actually falls into two parties. People either like this because of Phoenix being a new father to Trucy OR they like it because of Nick and Kristoph's toxic situationship love triangle, which is so deeply funny bc these groups have totally different vibes. So let's split these up:

Dad Phoenix: Phoenix is your favorite character and you want to see him suffer so that he can be cared for by Edgeworth for once. You also like seeing Phoenix do his best to love and care for Trucy despite the circumstances even though he isn't a perfect dad. It means a lot to you to see someone fail and still be loved and deemed worthy by someone. Did you perhaps experience gifted kid burnout in school and feel like you let everyone around you down? Be kind to yourself and examine how capitalism has shaped our worldview so that a "valuable" member of society is someone who holds a job of a certain caliber and earns a certain amount of money. We cannot all be held to the same standards. Do what you are able to do in your situation. Maybe that is fight for people in court. Maybe that is make music or art. Maybe that is being there for people you love. The world needs all of these things, but every person does not need to do it all.

Situationship Phoenix: Phoenix is your favorite character and you think he is owed a little sexiness after being denied love by everyone else in his life. You also want to punish Edgeworth a little bit, like you definitely have some beef against Edgeworth (understandable, although I love him he is frequently annoying) and making him jealous feels like you're serving justice on Phoenix's behalf. You probably lie awake at night and think about the sick comebacks you wish you had said to people who were jerks to you in the past. This very emotionally driven form of serving justice to these characters means that you too would have gotten your badge taken away if you were an attorney. You should probably examine the way you hold grudges and how you treat people you believe have wronged you.

Apollo justice games era Phoenix and Edgeworth: Ok I haven't played all of apollo justice yet I can't tell if there are different eras within Apollo justice, but probably if you like to imagine Nick and Miles are actively dating/flirting during the events of the first Apollo Justice game, you are living in denial that the events of the 7 year gap happened and you are sticking your fingers in your ear and going LALALALA I can't hear youuuu. You also think dads are kind of hot. You probably dislike running errands alone and prefer to have a buddy go with you. You have a small group of friends that you are really close with and you are secretly terrified of the thought of them leaving you. Pain is inevitable, and you must learn to accept this, but know also that joy is just as inevitable. You are stronger than you think.

Post Apollo Justice Phoenix and Edgeworth: If this is your favorite ship, you want everyone to be able to rest. You want to wrap up all the lawyers and everyone they love in a big blanket and let them all take a cozy nap together. You want all the drama to be done so that they can move in together and raise a child together and propose to each other and plan a wedding and be very sweet and kind to each other. Despite your best efforts, I sense that the expected social norms of a nuclear family structure are influencing your life choices. This is not a bad thing, to want these things! But does hitting these life milestones feel genuinely good, or good because you are achieving a goal and gaining approval from others? Close your eyes and imagine moments where you have felt joy. Make a pact with yourself to try and seek out these things more, regardless of whether they are what society expects of you.

this is how people defend their blorbos who have committed mass murder and war crimes

yomiel watching himself literally put a gun to a 10 yr old girls head and threaten to shoot: damn that was a yikes guys! i was lowkey quirked up that day haha. was just in a silly goofy mood lolll my bad<3

I just finished soj i’m crying

I have so many angsty SOJ animatics stuck in my head, they fuel me (I may or may not already be making another one…)

Also, I’m fully aware this song is about Hillary Clinton, but it’s so Apollo coded

huuuuge fan of little phrases you can add to the end of your sentences just for fun. "if you even care" and "btw" and "I fear" have done sooo much for my vocabulary. if you even care

Missile is the best boy!

spoilers below

I also really like how the story is of a cat that helps people even if at first it’s out of a selfish motivation because in stories cats are often portrayed as aloof and completely self centered. Sissel is such a good main character and a good example of how nice cats will be when the get to like someone

@minovember week 2 - Pets

Pets? What pets? I don’t see no pets here. All I see are a mysterious immortal kitten, a scientist’s pure and perfect wife and the world’s best Pomeranian.

The pets really are such a vital part of Ghost Trick’s story. I know quite a few people who gave this game a chance based on Missile alone XD You should too. Do it for Missile.

I was trying to convince someone to play ghost trick the other day and to me all the best parts are the big spoilers. I just said that the story and art style are really good because what else am I going to say

Ghost trick is insane because I can't say anything but everything i can say sounds completely unrelated. We've met that dog before. Chekhov's cat is real and should be taken seriously. Strange rocks should be left alone. Painting is a great hobby for inmates. Chicken is a huge plot point. Panic and anxiety disorders are serious. The lamp is a fucking liar and it deserves love.

imagine a parent teacher conference with beanix. like this man that looks like a hobo and plays poker piano professionally at the shadiest gay bar ever when he used to be the biggest defense lawyer around

Idk thinking about Trucy at school having a career counselor who takes one look at her listed aspiration of “professional magician” and calls her and her father into a conference to discuss his concerns that she doesn’t have realistic career goals

Cue Trucy and Phoenix effortlessly tag-teaming the sob story of “Oh but my poor sweet MaMa and PaPa in Heaven… they were magicians, you see, I only wish to keep their memory close, keep it alive…” and “Perhaps it makes me a poor father, but I just can’t bear to take away the one thing she has left of them…” until the counselor is so mortified he just relents and never questions it again

(Phoenix is not worried about his daughter’s success even slightly, and Trucy was never worried that he would be)

I love pdfs it’s the best way to read things digitally

"You think you're informed just because you read a bunch of grainy PDFs?"

Yeah man. Reading scholarly works on a topic informs you on that topic. That's how this works.

me

the worst thing about being an adult is that if i don’t want to go somewhere i can’t just say that my mom says no. i have to come up with an actual excuse
