✧Franziska and Maya being slay✧

Today I felt like drawing Franziska and Maya again because I had so much fun drawing them yesterday I wanted to draw them again, and design another outfit for both of them! I really love this drawings result as aside from Maya's nose bridge being slightly higher than I wanted (finicky, I know) This drawing came out looking even better than I had imagined the concept :D

Once again had fun designing the outfits, though I kinda doubt Franziska would wear a green and brown suit in canon but I certainly had a lot of fun designing it (never thought I'd enjoy drawing women's business suits but I guess I do!). Fun fact, the brown accents in the suit I originally planned to do black but, when it comes to my art, I always try to do multiple things the same colour to better unify the drawing, so I changed the accents to be brown, so Maya's right eye isn't the only thing coloured brown and, really like the result :D.

As for Maya's outfit, you can only see the shirt here but, in my mind her full outfit is this oversized flannel paired with a black full maxi skirt and probably her platform sandals. I did consider drawing Maya's full body in this drawing so I could draw the full look but I liked this composition too much to do something different :P.

Manfred Von Karma did not burn Phoenix's letters to Miles.

Like, I'm not even saying this to defend Manfred's character (though the fanbase does get a little crazy with what he actually did and didn't do) I'm saying this because that's not canon. I'm not sure it was even possible in canon.

Phoenix didn't write letters to Germany. He didn't know Miles was in Germany, let alone Von Karma's address. He didn't even know who Von Karma was until Edgeworth told him about Manfred in Turnabout Goodbyes.

In the game canon, Miles just stopped showing up to school one day. All Phoenix seemed to know was that he transferred schools suddenly. He didn't know why or where to. Remember, Phoenix didn't even hear about DL-6 until Turnabout Sisters when Maya mentioned her family's involvement.

Even in the anime canon (I haven't watched the anime in a while so I might be off about this) where Phoenix and Miles get a chance to properly say goodbye, Phoenix still doesn't have a direct means of contacting him. His best way of doing so was dedicating a song through the radio using Signal Samurai codenames and hoping Miles would hear it.

Phoenix mentions trying to contact him several times when explaining their relationship to Maya, but this was after finding out Miles was this "Demon Attorney". Miles would have to be at least 20 at this point in time, living back in California with at least a few trials under his belt. With how young he reached success, it's not impossible Miles was living on his own at the time. Even if he wasn't, I doubt Manfred was going through this grown adult's mail.

No, what the game seems to be implying is that Miles ignored Phoenix. (Maya even says, "I guess he didn't want to hear from his old friends.") And I don't think this was out of hatred or anything, I think Miles just wanted to forget his past entirely because even the good memories of his childhood would be bittersweet at best.

And to be honest that makes it even more tragic to me. Why do we need Manfred to intercept their connection when Miles' trauma and guilt complex is already doing that?

I like to think Miles knew Phoenix would be asking questions if he ever responded to those initial attempts at contact. Questions he of course doesn't want to answer because they'd at best open old wounds or at worst risk his childhood friend finding out he might have committed patricide.

I also like to think he knew Phoenix of all people would stubbornly try to find the answers Miles wouldn't willingly give because he literally mentions Phoenix always being "single minded in his work" and "always seeing things through to the end". If anyone was going to press and bring those uncomfortable and painful memories out in the open for the sake of "helping him", it would be Phoenix Wright.

Why do we need Manfred to take away all that complexity and tragedy? That is such a waste!

Hot take but canon beanix isn’t that hot, the artistic depictions where he’s got longer messier hair and is extra grungy… that’s the good stuff, that’s who I think about when people say that Beanix is hot

*sigh* looks like I've got a new hc. I mean I already hc Miles and Maya BFFs cuz they both like steel samurai so them being half siblings* would be funny cuz, he would have Maya call him a big brother and Franziska call him a little brother even though his sisters are same age...

Also him being related to Mia would probably make him cringe even more towards how he treated her in their first trial and, I find that concept funnier that I probably should lol.

*because I don't see Gregory Maya's father as that doesn't line up the best with the timeline, unless he was keeping his relationship with Misty hidden from his son and she was hidding her relationship from Mia but I don't like that idea

Who knew that if you mix greggory edgeworth with misty fey you get. . . . . Miles edgeworth (I love this theory so much )

Like seriously

What I thought under the cut (has AA4 spoilers)

I honestly thought he look like a cockroach and as a result found his hair really funny! I'm pretty sure he's meant to look like a bunny cuz his Trucy's half brother, Trucy does magic tricks, it makes sense and, I can kinda see it.

But not super well cuz to me it just looks more like a cockroach so I'm curious to see how many people who decide to take this poll think similar.
