Aai2 Spoilers - Tumblr Posts
My butt got dragged back into my ace attorney hyperfixation, and I'll make it everyone else's problem. I'm rewatching aai1 and aai2 playthrough and, man, do I feel bad for Badd. He's a great dude, doing everything he can to protect the people, solve crime and doesn't lose humanity. Yet despite his best efforts he just can't protect the people he wants to protect the most (Cece Yew, Master Jeff, Byrne Faraday). He's a very good person, but the only thing he's bad at is doing his job smh. The unluckiest man alive
‼️SPOILERS FOR ACE ATTORNEY INVESTIGATIONS (1 AND 2) AND THE GREAT ACE ATTORNEY‼️
Plus Kazuma, Phoenix ect
Add characters that you think would fit the category
(Btw I'm not justifying their actions, but man do I feel bad for them. After one point their lives became a freaking greek tragedy)
One thing I really enjoy a lot about I-1 and I-2 is a theme of availability and injustice, while always holding characters accountable. For a game that is targeted mostly at the young audience, teenagers and young adults, it does discuss difficult themes of corruption in legal system.
The half of this plot could've been avoided if people with power would care for something apart themselves. It's more of the I-2 theme, rather than I-1, but if at least one person stopped being awful Simeon (Simon) would never become such a paranoid. All this terrible abuse he suffered at the hands of Fifi Laguard (Patricia Roland). The woman that was supposed to care for him and become his mother figure, interrogated him like a convict. But one of the worst things is that Simeon couldn't even trust the police — people whose literal job is to protect innocent — because if he spoke out and sought help he'd be either silenced or investigated by Blaise (I don't have the brains to spell his new alleged name). Just because of some people's greed, he lost his childhood and became paranoid. Yet he still isn't innocent or made out to look like it. The game itself says it. During his quest for revenge he ended up hurting a lot of innocent people, whose fault was literally just being at the wrong place at the wrong time (Jill Crane, Kay, partially Bronco/Horace). It isn't justified, because innocent people's lives were taken because of his desires. And all of this because people with power, those who supposed to protect everyone, we're too preoccupied.
Same can be said for Katherine Hall. Is there a justice about Master getting in jail for a crime he didn't commit? No, and never will. Despite the best efforts of Gregory, Ray (Eddie) and Badd, nothing could be done, because authority to end the investigation belonged to MVK. His perfectionism was put above someone's life. And he got away with it. For 18 years.... Yet game doesn't try to say that Kate should've gone through with killing Dane. Because murder is never okay and because once again, it harms people unrelated to this case.
This is very good moral and very interesting topic to bring up.
I could go on and on about how these two games are about corruption and lies. But one question that applies to every character IMO is Where is a justice and if it even is achievable. Where is the justice for their suffering and should they resort to illegal means to find it?
I love this games
Another AU. No DL-6. Byrne gets very close to finding out the identity of the ringleader, so the smuggling ring decided to act. Instead of killing Byrne, Callisto had to expose him for being Yatagarasu. Mack Rell still kills Deid Mann and during his trial Byrne is accused. But, unlike the original, trial continues and more and more evidence point at Faraday. But suddenly Badd appears, starting to give the testimony. After a few words he says something that only the real yatagarasu would know. When Callisto starts questioning him, Badd plays dumb, but ultimately admits to being the legendary thief. He says that he used his friendship with Byrne to gain access to different companies and position as a Detective to hide the evidence. Byrne is shocked, since he understands that his friend is now taking all of the blame for his own. However Badd doesn't back down and continues to disprove Byrne's allegations. The court was adjourned and Mack Rell is pronounced guilty. Tyrell is arrested. Callisto did what she wanted by immobilising Yatagarasu and leaves (???). Gregory and Eddie (Ray) hear about the case and want to prove Badd's innocence, but he refuses. Despite all their reasoning he refuses to have them as lawyers and even refuses his right to a lawyer. But despite this, Ray (Eddie) finds a way for them to represent Badd in court. Ray (Eddie) switched to being a state lawyer and asks Gregory to be his judicial assistant, so Tyrell can't get away from them. They meet Faraday, who looks 10 years older because of the shock. Badd took all the blame, because he wanted to protect Byrne and, most importantly, Kay. +Badd didn't want to make Gregory compliciant, so doesn't invite him to the trio/defence. Thus begins the story of mysterious theif that poses the question: are all the truths should be revealed?
Oh, that's some good hcs, op! It would be really interesting to see him and Gregory face off in court. Allow me to share mine.
- Byrne met Badd when he was 22-24 and detective was 34-36.
- also Byrne became prosecutor around that age too
- when IS-7 was happening, Badd frequently vented about it to Faraday
- despite how many crap Faraday gave to Gumshoe for being late, he himself was late to his crime scene for almost an hour lmao
- Badd and him call each other by their first time only when they're very serious.
- And when Kay was born he called Detective to the hospital.
- when Tyrell held Kay in his arms for the first time he was super afraid to accidentally hurt her. Byrne took the picture of this moment and jokingly blackmailing Badd with it.
- Badd was the one who came up with the nickname little thief when newborn Kay stole his lollipop
- Faraday's wife died when Kay was around 4-5 and Faraday was very depressed for a lot of time
- The thought of the yatagarasu came to Byrne after KG-8 and is heavily based on the idea of not letting innocent suffer (cuz in my hc Badd got shot during the investigation)
- he was hesitant to invite Badd in the group, not because he thought he would reject his offer, but because he didn't want to put his friend in more danger than he was already in.
- on lighter note, he had short temper and cursed a lot, before Kay (and even after, but when she couldn't hear)
- he also was really passionate about justice and finding truth. So much he annoyed Von Karma greatly lmao
- during some trials Byrne would purposefully lose, if he believed the defendent was innocent
- if we wanna throw some spice in, Byrne had a thing for Badd, but never acted on it, cuz he thought Tyrell didn't think of him that way (he totally did)
- Little thief has the ability to make security cameras buffer
Lmao that's all I've got
AAI fans, reblog/comment on this post with your Byrne Faraday headcanons (backstory, personality, sexuality, likes/dislikes, etc. literally anything, no matter how random), I want to see what the overall consensus on him is.
I'll start off with some of mine:
-He's bisexual
-He designed those weird retina scanners they have at the Prosecutor's Office in the anime
-He had the Yatagarasu/Little Thief taglines Kay recites written down in his diary
-He gave Badd the hand mirror he carries in his coat pocket
-He faced off against Gregory Edgeworth at the beginning of his prosecutor career and lost.
Emptying some of my drafts/fanfic ideas for the two Badd enjoyers out there 🫡🫡🫡
Thanks to @kugamoogle I finally have a reason to post this crap lmao (sorry, if you don't want to be tagged)
~~~~~~~~~~~
Badd: (It's already so late. Almost no one is left in the precinct. I guess I should head out home....)
*phone rings*
Badd: (Oh.. Prosecutor Faraday... Why is he calling me at this late of an hour?)
Badd: Good evening, Prosecutor Faraday..... Is any....
Faraday: Tyrell..
Badd: !
Faraday: I need your presence.
Badd: What happened? Where are you? Should i bring the others from the precinct with me? (He never calls me by my name without a reason..)
Faraday: Something very important, Dye Young Hospital. No.
Badd: Are you hurt? I'll get there as fast as I can!
Faraday: No...Thank you.
~~~~~~Dye Young Hospital~~~~~~
Badd: Faraday, is everything okay?
Faraday: *turns around with a baby in his arms* Shhh! You'll wake her up.
Badd:......? This......... Is...?
Faraday: My daughter, of course. Want to hold her?
Badd: !... Byrne, you can't be serious..!
Faraday: Geez, such a big guy afraid of such a small girl? *gives Kay to Badd*
Badd: *very stiffly holds her. Freezes immediately. Afraid to hurt her* ...!
Faraday: *suddenly takes the photo* Ha, you should've seen your face! The detective with the heart of steel is finally flustered! I've stolen this moment from you.
Badd: Byrne!..... You....!! *Kay yawns* ......what is her name?
Faraday: Her name is Kay. Don't be so scared.. Be more relaxed.
Badd: .......Hi Kay...... Here's your dad *shows Faraday*.... I'm your dad's friend.
Faraday: It's your Uncle Badd!
Badd: ..! *very flustered. Suddenly Kay opens her sleepy eyes and takes Badd's lollipop* ...!
Faraday: Oh, Kay! Stealing is bad!
Badd: ......should I take a little thief to the precinct?
Faraday: Should I take your paycheck to my office?
They both laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~~
*Faraday shows his prosecutor's badge*
Kay: I wanna be a detective when I grow up! Like Uncle Badd! To be the hero of justice!
Faraday: ...!
Badd: ......you'll make a great detective....... You have a talent........ For finding things...
Faraday: (I could never hide any candies from her...)
Badd: But it's a very dangerous job..... Some of the bad people..... Will have to make an acquaintance to your kick...
Kay: Or I wanna be a prosecutor like Daddy! The true hero of justice that puts bad people in jail!!
Faraday: (suddenly I feel a tear in my eye...)
Badd: That take money form their subordinates' salary....
Faraday: I think your pay check has been oh too stable these past few months!
Kay: I'll never do something like that!
Badd: ......then I look forward to working with you, Ms Prosecutor Faraday.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Just to clarify, this next part has nothing to do with my other no dl 6 au lmao. Some parts of this au (mainly Badd getting shot) is tied to my other hcs I've posted before.
~~~~~~~~~~~ (no dl 6 au) ~~~~~~~~~~~
Eddie/Ray: Mr. Edgeworth, is it true that Detective Badd has been shot?
Gregory: That's what I heard from the people in the precinct. They sounded serious, so I came to check up on him.
Ray: I'm not sure they'll let us in, since we aren't a family, but worth the try!
(They go in the hospital)
Gregory: (now, we need to find a reception or a nurse...... Hm? What's all that noise?)
???: I need to continue the investigation..... They've stolen the video tape, I need to find it, Byrne..
Ray: Detective Badd!
Gregory: Yes, it's him! But who is he arguing with?
????: What you need is to stop being stubborn and take a break.
Ray: Hm? Is he trying to leave the hospital already?
Gregory: But it's been one day since he got shot! It's dangerous to leave! We need to talk him out of it.. Ahem.. Detective Badd!
Badd: ..! Attorney Edgeworth, Assistant Shields? What are you doing here? And what are these tulips doing in your hands, Edgeworth?
Gregory: These are for you, Detective. My sincerest hopes for your speedy recovery.
Badd: ..! Thank you.
* (Long time no see) *
(The incident)
(The mysterious man)
Gregory: It is a pleasure to meet you once again, Detective. Though, I would've loved to meet you in good health more.
Badd: Same here..... Was IS-7 incident ever solved?
Ray: Sadly, Master was convincted on being an accomplice. He confessed to it.
Badd: What?? But the recording..
Gregory: It was of help, Detective. Yet von Karma got away with only a penalty.
Badd: .... My condolences...
Ray: Do not worry. All this time we were working hard on getting a retrial. A lot has changed since then and I'm an official attorney now! I won't ever rest until they find Mr Master innocent!
Badd: You've already passed the bar exam....? I believe the truth won't escape you, Attorney Shields.
Ray: He he heh. I'm so happy! Detective Badd actually praised me!
????: the IS-7 incident.... That's where I heard about them...
* (The incident) *
(The mysterious man)
Gregory: May I ask you about what happened to you?
????: Mr Attorney, he's been through a lot recently. Don't make him recall such terrible memories so soon!
Gregory: (True... It's been tactless from me...) I apologize.
Badd: It's okay, Byrne... A few days ago, I was walking home after the day at the precinct.. On my walk I was ambushed by three men, each carrying the gun. I tried to escape and called the first person in my phone. Yet they got me. They cornered me and then shot two times in the abdomen. After that I don't remember anything, but a green flame.
Gregory: (he says he's fine, but I can see he's shaken by the whole ordeal...)
Ray: Green flame?
Badd: Then I woke up at this hospital.. They stopped the blood, so I headed straight to the courthouse.
Ray: Courthouse?? Without operation?
Badd: Hmph, it's no big deal. That sort of thing happens all the time. I even had full intentions of continuing the investigation.
Ray: But! But that would've been too much!
Gregory: (You don't have to act all tough in front of us, you know?)
Badd: But right after the trial I was dragged here by THAT prosecutor.
????: It was the only logical course of action given the bullets were still lodged in you AND you started bleeding out right in the hallway.
Gregory: And now? Did you have your operation??!
Badd: ... Yes... I'm all good now.
????: Big talk from someone who woke up only a few hours ago!
Gregory: (Just who is this man? It takes a lot of courage to speak to Badd that way....)
* (The mysterious man) *
Gregory: Good morning, mister. I'm Attorney Gregory Edgeworth. This is Attorney Raymond Shields.
Ray: How do you do?
Gregory: And you are...?
Faraday: Prosecutor Byrne Faraday. Nice to meet you, Mr Edgeworth, Mr Shields.
Badd: This man is a prosecutor in charge of the case we're solving right now, and my close friend.
Ray: Enchanté, as they say... Have you heard of us?
Gregory: (Raymond seems very cold all of a sudden.. Probably, he thinks Prosecutor Faraday is like von Karma. Ever since that incident he dislikes prosecutors a lot..)
Faraday: Yes. Tyrell talked a lot about you and the IS-7 incident back in the day. My condolences. I had no idea Prosecutor von Karma would stoop so low to get his guilty verdict.
Ray: Why would it surprise you, Prosecutor? Are you surprised he got caught doing what you all do?
Faraday: ...! I have no idea what are you suggesting!
Gregory: I'm sorry, Prosecutor Faraday. Please forgive his rudeness. That incident left a big impression on him..
Faraday: ..... It's nothing, I suppose. But I would like Mr Shields to stop judging book by it's cover. Not all prosecutors are like this.
Faraday: Back to the matter at hand. Badd, I am not letting you investigate until you have rested enough.
Badd: ...! I've told you countless times, Faraday...
Faraday: If you try to leave this hospital, I'll take you off the case!
Gregory: (..! He seems desperate.. He must've grown weary of this pointless argument.. But despite the harshness of Prosecutor Faraday's words, it seems he really cares..)
Badd: That never stopped me before.!
Faraday: A foot out of this building, and you won't be able to afford a taxi to the courthouse!

I CANT STOP HELP
(miles edgeworth voice) cringe as fuck. not even camp
Never 4get what an awful time Miles Edgeworth had in the spring of 2019
‼️‼️AAI2 SPOILERS‼️‼️
i dont have an angsty caption rn UM! heres my first attempt at a fake anime screenshot. plus a gif and plus the bg bc i spent a long time on it wwoeoeeoeo
rbs appreciated i will not get those nine hours back
i think issues is a huge understatement
(Investigations 2 spoilers warning) Guys I am being dead serous when I say that I had never hated an Ace Attorney villain this as much as Blaise Debeste....(and I fucking love the villains)
I am speechless.... I don't even know what to say, I'm so pissed....
a little something about learning to regret
Hello , fellow Ace Attorney fans !!! I'm sure you're all very devastated about Sebastian's— or should I say Eustace's ?— canon name !! I know I was really upset too , BUT ! ! !
I came up with something that won't erase the canon name but won't erase the FAN name too !
(POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR AAI2 ?)
Sebastian Eustace Debeste‐Winner .
You're wondering one of two things ; A– Woah ! or B– That's stupid . But no matter what , I want you all to listen to my reasons behind it ! I'm sure you'll like it . . . maybe . All I can say is that Sebastian is someone that I relate to VERY , VERY highly , so I'd love it if you could listen .
Sebastian = His first name , given to him by his mother . Blaise didn't want this to be his name , but it was the first and last time the mother chose for herself . In the end , she won him over ... just barely .
Eustace = His middle name . The name that Blaise wanted to use . And since he was denied it , he settled for Eustace becoming the middle name . . .
Debeste‐Winner = A combination of the mother's and father's last names . Debeste being from Blaise , and Winner being from his mother . Blaise originally just referred to Sebastian as Debeste and gaslit him into doing the same , but after case 5 , he started calling himself Debeste‐Winner .
I hope this can become a name that MIGHT be used , even by just one more person . Feel free to critique me !
a certain clown man took my heart and now i can't think of anything besides him
i presume you're happy now in your JAIL bastard
/aai2 spoilers
i made this piece for my zine two months ago but it won't come out so..!
my humble offering to the aai2 gods in honor of a (possible) manosouta renaissance. more doodles + notes below
somebody should write a prosecutor or "medieval" au fic. they would be insane together in any universe
sim(e)on is such a non-binary ass it's actually crazy
im sorry i didn't draw them deranged enough i spent like a week figuring out how to draw them after a few years so better luck next time <3
also this. i guess.
major aai2 spoilers
it's so funny for me to be obsessed and draw emo art with this guy like yeah.... this is simeon.... he... he holds grudges.... and idolises his favorite assassin... and kinda kills people sometimes... embarrassing i know
anyway. monkey paw symbolism anyone
the best father competition was so fierce in 2000 i bet
thinking.... what if baby miles and baby manosoutas knew eachother and were chess buddies for a brief moment before the whole is-7 and dl-6 thing
i think they didn't go to the same elementary school but they met at some chess tournament. i always thought knight's motivation was kinda childish so i imagine miles beat his ass at chess so he went like wait i need to be better than everyone even those who're older & have more experience than me to earn the approval i want :( and then the rook thing happened. imagine caring about the character named bronco. couldn't be me
