Adding Some Stuff From Chronicles:

Adding some stuff from chronicles:

One murderer has an entire swan as part of their hat, their big freakout sees the swan springing to life and flapping it's wings hard enough to lift the killer off the ground and lays eggs which instantly hatch.

Almost every case with jurors has no less than 2 jurors either be in close proximity to the crime, or have a connection to someone involved. Characters from past and future cases are also frequently jurors

The main prosecutor frequently throws glass objects containing alcohol in anger, often towards the gallery or into lit torches. Sometimes he slams his leg on his bench, instead.

A woman is stabbed in the back by a knife which flew out of a window after another woman threw it at her husband. Said woman was posing as her husband's maid to make him look more prestigious to guests. Said woman also ends up being a juror in the trail of the man falsely accused of the stabbing.

During the above mentioned trial, the prosecutor asserts that the defendant, who is constantly described as meek and jittery, vaulted a six foot long ditch while carrying 3 books. He ends up being right.

There's a pudgy old pawnbroker who threatens to shoot himself as "penance" for even the slightest mistake on his end. This is played for laughs until the man is killed and then the fact his gun only had one bullet in it becomes a plot point.

At one point, government secrets are stolen and smuggled in Morse code imbedded on music box discs.

One villain confesses to murder and attempted murder after the main character makes it impossible for him to obtain a hidden treasure. The main character had no conclusive proof that the man was guilty of either crime.

The main character has to defend a scientist who constantly sabotages his own case, because he would rather be sentenced to death than be forced to face the truth that his experiment was a failure.

Most of the issues the main cast face in exposing a massive conspiracy in the final case are a result of the actions of a bumbling pair of rich gingers who decided to scam a bunch of people for shits and giggles.

One of those gingers has a habit of grabbing and dragging people with a gem-encrusted dog leash.

A 10 year old girl and a himbo chemist were able to make functioning earbuds and a fucking hologram in 1900.

Everyone talks about how silly Ace Attorney is but only ever mentions the parrot and the Almost Christmas thing, so here’s a few highlights of insane shit that happens in Ace Attorney that I personally adore:

The famous orca defendant from Phoenix’s first case after disbarment turns out to be the secret sibling of another orca… who was also falsely accused of murder

The final case of what is widely considered one of the best games in the series involves a clown crushing the president of fantasy Hong Kong to death with a hot air balloon. The president turns out to be a body double who replaced the original president 15 years prior. This is all taken completely seriously

The inciting incident of effectively the entire series was an episode of cupcake wars that went really, REALLY poorly

The plot of the most recent mainline game is “what if defense attorneys were systematically oppressed by the government”

The main character gets hit by a car in one of the cases and walks it off. He does sprain his ankle though

Two separate characters can summon butterflies in court and make their scarves levitate. They have literally no relation to each other and this inexplicable telekinesis is never mentioned by the cast even once

A major plot point in one of the cases is someone tying a corpse to the end of a rope and then pendulum swinging them across a bridge so aggressively they get launched 30 feet into the air on the other side. This is fully animated and you get to watch it happen no less than 4 times

I think I figured out why I like Fizzarozzie more than you do, I actually do see all relationships as transactions, at least to an extent.

It's a big part of the reason I kin Mammon, granted I also consider the emotional aspect as part of the "transaction", extracting value from a fun or otherwise valuable experience with someone else (something I incorporate into my Mammon writing), but I would say Blitz and Ozzie are evenly matched in that regard, at least in Fizz's eyes as of the mid-season finale (I know you'll disagree with this, but this is my final stance on the matter).

Realistically speaking, I probably wouldn't care about Blitz if I was in Fizz's position and had Ozzie. I'm not saying my opinion is the be all end all of this discussion, but I just thought it would be useful to get this perspective out there.

That twitter post is so dumb. Saying Blitzo doesn't have anything to offer to the table that Oz doesn't? What about a personality? That's a start. He isn't perfect so Fizz would actually have some ability to be his own person and character since Blitzo isn't capable of being everything always all the time. It's a better relationship because it's more grounded as a whole and also just a better story.

“You always cared what I thought” — blitzø s2e6

“I cant help feel he values your take on things” — Asmodeus s2e7

“Well yeah I was usually the one with the stronger opinions” — blitzø s2e7

“He kept you safe when I wasn’t able to, and I trust that” — Asmodeus, s2e7

I hate that thread if it’s the one I’m thinking of. Maybe if you let characters interact for more than one episode a dynamic could be established? Notice how it’s also implying that blitz and Asmodeus are remarkably similar in their protective caring dynamic with him ? Seems like he was the blueprint

I think this show has just hardwired everyone into seeing all relationships as a transaction. Oz has a big bank account and a nice house what does blitz have? Checkmate.

Blitz offers him, and always has offered him loyalty, protection, reassurance and a feeling of safety. He lets Fizz yell and show when he’s annoyed without feeling like he has to cushion his words, he doesn’t have to say “pweeease?” And pretend to be all submissive and cute to get what he wants. People pleasers need someone who isn’t biassed by a need to benefit off of them, to give it to them straight. Ozzie doesn’t offer him that because fizz only thinks Ozzie is with him because of who he is at his best, meaning he’s been putting up a front with Asmodeus, and he feels like it’s thanks to Mammon that he got to be with him. He says he barely feels worthy.

Another thing I had to laugh at is. Fizz doesn’t like he blitz talks too much. And it shows fizz’s annoyed expression. Um. You may as well be talking about “if you keep talking about pirates I will punch you” they have a back and forth. Fizz keeps him in check. He also doesn’t like how Oz pampers him too much and makes decisions without telling him. In both episode six and seven of season two of you pay attention, Fizzarolli and Asmodeus are actually arguing almost the entire time. Because two people can disagree and that isn’t grounds for ending things.

People who knew you and loved you before you were famous are irreplaceable. It’s more than ‘nostalgia’ and ‘some solidarity in that they’re both imps or whatever’ it’s community, history, belonging, and understanding. And that last one means the most to fizz.

And you’re right it is also just a better story

I know this was just a one-off thing for Christmas, but for me, this confirms that most, if not all, demons in the SM universe are mostly variations of the template Moloch follows.

Pelo has mentioned that there may be a spinoff with unused or undeveloped monsters, and I'm really hoping this Krampus ends up being the villain in one of them. I love his design, both the coal smeared arms and the scraggy beard.

Anyone who wants to is free to join in devising headcanons for him! (looking at you @crossover-enthusiast and @the-spooky-children)

that last ask got me thinking of a more charismatic mammon, because watching the episode, it didn’t really make sense why people were fans when literally all he did was abuse people.

im picturing a kinda disney’s hercules hades meets billy butcher from the boys, which probably makes no sense. but like its someone who is very toxic but actually manipulative and charismatic about it? idk

Living in Serbia, I can confirm that loud, openly selfish people who inexplicably come off as like able do, in fact, exist. I call them neighborhood Mammons, and I should know that they don't need to put in an effort to be charismatic, since I am my neighborhood's Mammon.

Mam already kind of reminds me of Hades, but for the exact reason of his subtly sassy bluntness, never seen The Boys so I don't know anything about Billy Butcher.

This.... This is true art that understands the character better than the creator. Well done.

Eyes of hell are on her, watching her every move, pressuring her, forcing her to play a role she never wanted to play.

If you want a loving villain couple just do what everyone else is doing, ship Golden Goose.

What we want: Lucifer and Lilith being completely in love with each other and have a Gomez and Morticia dynamic and his wife is the only one that he doesn't care is taller than him it likely turns him on. All hail Mommy Dommie Lilith!

What we're likely to get: They're divorce and Lilith is Stella 2.0 with Luci being another 'uwu sad man' that Viv likes so much.
