Spoilers For Ace Attorney Investigations 2 And Minor Spoilers For Ace Attorney: Trials And Tribulations

Spoilers for Ace Attorney Investigations 2 and minor spoilers for Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations and Apollo Justice Ace Attorney

So in writing a fic I went down a largely unnecessary rabbit hole which resulted in me learning that:

A. The final case of AAI2 is the same month as Phoenix's disbarment

B. Bridge to the Turnabout happens two months before AAI1

Which means that in Feb 2019 is Iris's trial, after which Edgeworth goes overseas for a month.

Edgeworth gets back in March and immediately has to deal with 1. a murder on his flight, 2. a kidnapping, 3. a murder in his office, and 4. a murder at an embassy. All one after the other.

And then, The Next Week: 1. an assassination attempt on a foreign president, 2. the murder of that murderer, 3. an attempted murder, 4. Kay's amnesia and the accusations of murder against her, 5. resigning his badge, 6. the actual assassination of the aforementioned president, and 7. investigating a cold case.

And then once he thinks that's over with, The Next Week he hears that Phoenix Wright is going to be disbarred.

I think this joke's been made before but truly April 2019 is Miles Edgeworth's Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Month.

Hello everyone, I am here to Speak The Truth

Villain of The Week.

wanted to see how batshit i could go with the colors

“I’m like, ‘Okay, she’s a doll. She’s a plastic doll. She doesn’t have organs. If she doesn’t have organs, she doesn’t have reproductive organs. If she doesn’t have reproductive organs, would she even feel sexual desire?’ No, I don’t think she could,” Robbie said. “She is sexualized. But she should never be sexy. People can project sex onto her. Yes, she can wear a short skirt, but because it’s fun and pink. Not because she wanted you to see her butt.”

Margot Robbie said Ace Barbie Rights with her whole chest.

Misconceptions in TSPUD

Stanley and The Player are separate people. Stanley does not control what he does, only briefly managing to seize control in certain instances (Bucket Escape Pod Ending, Bucket Destroyer Ending, Freedom Ending)

The Narrator isn’t the one in control, you are. The man can’t fix everything with a snap of his fingers, it’s up to you to stop the cycle.

The Narrator doesn’t know Stanley’s not in control. He only finds out in the Not Stanley Ending. As for the Broom Closet Ending? See next point.

Stanley is playing the game. When you click any key, you hear keyboard clicks. On the title screen on the original 2013 game and before the TSP 2 Expo, you see Stanley’s computer with the game’s menu displayed. That’s why there’s miscommunication - you are controlling a man playing a video game where he himself is the protagonist.

Settings Person doesn’t care about Stanley, he cares about you. They talk with you before even starting the game, when you’re not in control of Stanley, they never refer to you as such, and if he cared about Stanley - why did he leave him in the Skip Button Room? Stanley would’ve been completely awake and aware but unable to move the entire time, same thing happened in the Not Stanley Ending.

The Narrator is a prick, a real prick, but he’s not an absolute asshole. You paid for the game, play it, and break it apart, and you’re shocked that he’s upset? Imagine some person breaks into your house, starts tearing everything up, you get mad, and then you’re framed as the asshole.

Adding onto the last point - this shit’s a video game. The Narrator knows he’s not actually leaving you forever in the Hole, or sentencing you to a painful death in the Countdown Ending - it’s a video game. He knows you’ll just reset. He literally says this in the Half-Life 2 mod version of the Games Ending - when he abandons you, he says he expects you to reset the game.

Istg almost all of these come down to the fandom forgetting that it’s a fucking self aware video game

Good news, I’m off my antibiotics now, so I should be a whole lot more patient with the discourse lately.
