Am I Missing Something?

Am I missing something?

Was I wrong to think Prosecutor Blackquill could be kind to a stranger? Or at the very least, civil?

I just....

I thought maybe he could be happy for me. That maybe if I asked he wouldn't give Burnie a hard time.

I don't understand where this is coming from.

In...justice we trust?

No, I'm not doing that. Why the devil should I prove anything to you? Hell, you wouldn't know If I did it or not, since even if it DID work, I'd be the one with the rock. I could tell wonderful lies or horrible truths, and you wouldn't even know.

And yes, I know, you don't want me to do this for your benefit, but my own. Well I'm not doing that, either. Let's assume, for arguments sake, it did work. For all I know, it doesn't work on yourself, or Wright-dono would likely be far more honest than he actually is. The man's entire court strategy is to bluff until he makes it, why would he subject himself to seeing locks constantly? Even if he couldn't see them, would the stone not react? Or, What if it didn't work for obvious lies but only deep secrets? What if it can detect a lie, but the truth is not what you think?

I've read Wright's court transcripts. Spoken to his students. Even assuming his magatama functions the way you claim, he's had to come up with evidence to support his claims, weither sooner or later. You have no such evidence, and are asking me to believe that because you claim you saw something, I must surely have feelings for someone else, who, might I add, is currently seeing someone.

Rubbish.

-Simon Blackquill

Me still having the magatama in my back:

-Hmmmm Blackquill I know I annoy you guys. For a while, but I have my suspicions about something so I hope you don’t mind me asking, but do you have romantic feelings for detective Fulbright or something?

This? Again?

Umi-teardrop, allow me to be very clear.

I am not interested in any way, shape, or form in Detective Fulbright.

*a series of locks appears*

Further, even if I were, I am in no position to be engaging in relationships with anyone. I am simply not in the space to do so, nor have I ever been particularly interested in romance anyway.

I hope this settles it.

-Simon Blackquill

((continuing from here with @umi-teardrop))

Oh please, I wasn't going to actually hurt the man.

*Simon shifts, looking away*

"he's.... fine. Loud. Self-aggrandizing. Smells like ashes. Could probably bench the weight of his firetruck, which I'm certain drew Fool-Bright to him to begin with. Rover loves him, or so I'm told.

What does it matter? Fool-Bright is head over heels it would seem. He's been spending all his time with the man, I'm sure they'll be very happy.

*a twinge of bitterness, perhaps?*

-Simon Blackquill

((Help I'm sketching again))

Mm. He does know how to make himself known, doesn't he?

We all pity Skye-dono, for she is head over heels, though loath to admit to such a thing. I ought to point out the impropriety of dating one's detective to the pair of them, it would certainly get a reaction.

Yes, I'm sure it was isolated. As were my scraps with the prison guards, each and every one of them.

"Lovesick Lawyer"? I don't believe I'm familiar with them. ought I to be?

and finally, I haven't had the chance to speak to Godot-dono in some time. Last I heard, he was seeking additional treatment for his condition. I ought to check on that.

Did that former chief of police decide to pester you in prison too? He was rather keen on bothering me, actually made the stay more enjoyable if you can believe that.

Lastly, do you have a method for dealing with it when someone has decided you are in the wrong? I am dealing with some...complication with my flatmate, and am trying to untangle how to deal with that.

-Simon Blackquill

(Gonna start a new post so the other one doesn’t get too long)

Well of course I call him dad, I can’t exactly call him “mom” now can I? Not cause he’s a man, but because my mom is… well… I don’t want to call anyone else mom other than my biological mom.

And if you give me a minute, I can get Dad over here to meet you! Just hang tight…

What in the blazes-

…Who are you? Are you really me from another reality? You arent as good-looking as I, but I suppose that’s to be expected from alternative realities.

You two look practically the same.

Nonsense.

( @ask-instigator-attorney )

I'm Simon Blackquill, and that is what I have been told, you overgrown skunk. Such a hideous visage, how ever did you manage to find a partner looking like that?

*as far as anyone looking can tell, they are, in fact, the same person, looking equivalent.*

Regardless, you have managed it, and cultivated a strong enough bond with the man's daughter that she refers to you not as her fathers partner, nor your first name, but as 'dad'. commendable, if a tad confusing.

Did you not find your....experiences in the past making a relationship different? or are your circumstances different then my own?

Baffled,

-Simon Blackquill

(continuing from here, with @ask-instigator-attorney)

To Fulbright and Blackquill my favorite couple(I ship them hard as you can see)

Do you two watch Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss

If you do who is your favorite character from each show? And who are your favorite character?

I predict It’s Charlie for Fulbright and Vaggie for Blackquill in Hazbin Hotel and Moxxie for Fulbright and Millie for Blackquill for Helluva Boss

Also for why ı think that well…

Reader,

Why do people insist in believing I've an interest in couples? In romance? Have I done or said anything to imply it to be so?

Firstly, not a couple. I'm not sure why you insist on the topic, Fulbright has a boyfriend. You should acknowledge that. From what I've heard, it's going rather well. They're quite happy, I'm sure.

Secondly, no, I've not heard of either show, I'm not terribly interested in cartoons in general. Based on the gifs you sent, it does look at least different. And certainly not meant for children. I wondered when there would be more western animation meant for an older audience, though the track record for quality there is spotty. Unfortunate name, Vaggie. No doubt she suffers greatly for it.

Seeing the duo on top kiss reminds me of when Aura was invested in Sailor Moon. I was a young boy, and quite concerned that I was meant to behave the same way with my far-flung relatives as the "cousins" depicted, despite barely knowing them. Aura held that boyish assumption over my head for years, even after she was quite moved on with the show herself.

Ah, well. Time does pass us by.

Reflectively,

-Simon Blackquill

Hazbin Hotel....doesn't ring a bell....

Oh!

One of my aunts mentioned Helluva boss at Christmas though! Apparently her step daughter is very interested in it. My aunt was...a little less thrilled, she said it was satanic, but she's said that about everything the young people get interested in. Was against Pokemon for example, and that's just little critters, so I tend not to take her too seriously about that stuff. I mean, Pikachu is pretty cute! I'm sure it's fine.

It looks like the couples are happy!....very happy!

Oh, and, um, we're not a couple. Just roommates! Simon isn't ready for that sort of relationship, I don't think.....and! If he was! That would be fine! He's not very interested in romance, which is fine and normal.

In Justice We Trust!
