100% FULL OF PHOENIX WRIGHT SPOILERS

Liek 4 realz.

No, really, I don't think there's going to be a single word in here that's not a spoiler.



So this Godot nut.
Once I got over making "waiting for" jokes (...that's a lie. I'm still making them. At every opportunity. And occasionally forcing opportunities.), I was naturally very curious to figure out who he was.

...

Okay, I'm lying.
I've been curious the whole time.
You could say that that paragraph up there was just a contrived way to make a "waiting for Godot" joke.
...
On to the real entry.




So I actually have been wondering this since long before I got the game... since I first heard it suggested that his identity was "mysterious." My first thought was that he was Jake Marshall. HEAR ME OUT. This wasn't a theory I developed on purpose. I was actually just looking at T&T's box at the store, looking at Godot--because honestly... what we can see is rather nice-looking. (Since this is what I also once thought of Zant, I should be cautious....) But *cough* that aside... I was naturally staring at his chin. Since there's not much else to stare at. And I was like HOLD IT! I've seen this chin before.
Whose chin did it look like? Why, Jake Marshall's, of course! Complete with goatee. I mean, he was always shaving it with that sharp object, so it was hard to ignore.

Fast forward. Yesterday I got it.
And yesterday I didn't even get to meet Godot, so all that matters is today.
As I was in court, I was wondering who he was. He was all suggesting that he wanted revenge and he was an enemy and blah blah blah he was drinking coffee. (I'm waiting, still, for this line to show up. I think it probably is from the game, though.) So I got to thinking... could Godot really be Marshall? He didn't really have too much reason for revenge. But who else has that skin tone? I asked myself.
THEN THE TERRIBLE THOUGHT HIT ME.
OHBOY. GANT. AND THE HAIR COLOR AND THE REVENGE AND THE OHBOY.

The problem with this theory, as well as the Jake Marshall theory, is that their canon-ness is... dubious, at best. "Rise From the Ashes" is only on the DS/imported version of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Now, I know for pretty-sure that Ema comes back in Apollo Justice due to sprites I've seen on Gaia (those Turnabout-sans impress me, they really, really do), but that doesn't make RftA canon... in fact, in Justice for All, it's implied that it's not canon, because Edgeworth is supposed to have left right after... um... you know, the DL-6 one. "Farewell, my Turnabout"? Or whatever? So that's in direct contradiction with the fact that he prosecuted Lana in RftA. (Though, the canon-ness of that case is really an interesting question. One Turnabout-san, with a fairly official-looking sprite, is Lily Marshall; additionally, there's the suggestion of Gant's existence with that picture that I mentioned when I babbled about the death penalty.)

So, being the canon freak that I am, I had to at least slightly discredit the Gant theory. However, despite that... and despite the dread I had that it was true, it was my primary theory for a few hours, up through just about the end of the second trial in "Stolen Turnabout."

And then, you know (..."you"? Who is this "you"? No one who reads this blog plays Phoenix Wright...), Mia went, "Objection!" And she's all like, >:|.
ANDTHENANDTHEN.
And then it showed Godot. And he was like, all ready to LISTEN TO HER.
...Once upon a time, Mia had a boyfriend. He was a lawyer. Given that he was interviewing a suspect, it can be inferred that he may have been... a prosecutor.
All this "was" is because... he died seven years "ago", aka seven years before Phoenix's third year as a lawyer.
Yes? We are comprede-ing?
Now let me see if I can get my series of thoughts in order.
My first thought was, "He didn't really die!"
But this isn't like Edgeworth... he didn't just die, he was poisoned, and there was an investigation and everything.
So then I was like... "Then... it's impossible? Maybe they were just really confused."
BUT HEY, BUT HEY, BUT HEY.
He was poisoned
With at least two teaspoons of a special, very lethal poison
IN
HIS
COFFEE.


YEAH.
COFFEE. AS IN WHAT GODOT'S "BLAH BLAH BLAH DRINKING."
THAT'D BE THE PART WHEN I SHOUTED, "HOLY CRAP!"
When I realized it, I mean. Which was after I'd finished the case and everything.
This... something like this... can it really be a coincidence?
"But wait!" the inexistent "you" says. "That still doesn't change the fact that A.D. is, without much of a doubt, dead."
You, being for all intents and purposes omniscient, probably remember his real name and whether his initials are "A.D." or actually "D.A." I don't.

Well yeah.
Story time again.
Once upon a time there was a lady who was a psychic. She was very powerful. However, one day she made a statement that was later labeled "false" and subsequently she was labeled a "fraud." (The actual veracity and authenticity of this statement were, in fact, unrelated.)
When she found herself a laughingstock, this lady disappeared. Poof.
She was then mentioned a great deal in the first Phoenix Wright game, less in the second. And now... in Trials and Tribulations... she's quite the topic of discussion again. So far.
Interesting, isn't it, hmm?

"WAIT A SECOND."
you say.
"YOU'RE NOT SUGGESTING--"

Oh I am.
I has a crackpot theory.
BUT EVEN CRACKED POTS CAN BE PUT BACK TOGETHER, AND I AM GOING TO COSPLAAAAAAY ADRIAN SOMEDAAAAAAAY! BOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

How that Bleach reference got in there I'm not sure.


I am, indeed suggesting
that
Misty Fey
is channelling
Mia's boyfriend.



Yeah.

"But the body type--?!!"
Kurain Channeling Technique, kthx.
"But--Misty Fey was VERYWHITE. Godot is VERYNOT."
Kurain Channeling Technique. Kthx. If--pardon--Pearl can grow gigantic breasts out of nowhere in three seconds flat, you'd think Misty, who is much older and (I believe--don't remember this hyak'percent, but I think--) very, very powerful, could manage something like a change of skin tone. (Hair color does seem to be impossible; however, that may be because hair cells are dead and skin cells, at least the ones that make pigment, are alive.)
"But Godot is ABOY."
Miles Edgeworth's father was also, I can say with at least ninety percent certainty, ABOY.
"BUT YOU'RE CRAZY!"
I cannot deny the truth of that statement...



So, why? There are three "why"s to consider.
Why Misty would channel AD.
Why AD would become "mysterious prosecutor Godot."
Why the game designers would do such a thing.

The last shall be first:
Because we freaking deserve to meet Misty, darnit.
They keep talking about her and we deserve to meet her.

The second shall be... second:
Becaaaaaaaaaaause he misses his Mia. <33333


The first shall... go unanswered.
I have nothing.
Nothing. I have it.


EDIT:
You know, when I think, "It might have spoilers; I should avoid it," then it might have spoilers, and I should avoid it. -_- Stupid girl.
In any case, presuming that I am remembering correctly and his name was, in fact, Diego, then I am right about at least one thing. TAKE THAT, GLaDOS!
Also, it was "Turnabout Goodbyes."

:/

I had a dream last night. It was a very nice dream, the kind where you wake up and groan, "Dang, it was just a dream," but it was useless.
I dreamt he asked me to prom... a little late (no, ya think?) (....reckoncourse!) (STOP THAT, that woman is unintelligent.), but nice nonetheless. :C And I wasn't all flustered when he asked... hint number two that it was a dream.
AKFJ;AIOFO;J;OAS.

An interesting story

I may have this slightly wrong.
However.
My parents started dating on graduation night. They then wound up going to different colleges. However Mother later transferred to the college Dad was going to.
...
I told you that story so I could tell you this one.

...
On second thought, I don't feel like actually telling you (who?) that other story right now, because I'd have to translate it, and I'm sleepy because R.B. was over and we played MarioKart for Wii and I was terrible. xD
But as you can guess by the necessity of translating, it of course has to do with *that* and I think the rest is clear enough? Ahaha. >_______> I'm not making any sense.

So, my last (half) day of high school ends soon.

ZOMG much?
...Not much, actually. Pretty sure it hasn't actually sunk in yet.
It will eventually, I'm sure... Probably? At some point.

Anyway, I've had some more time with my laptop.
I'll say a few things about it.
HP Pavilion d1600 series. 15.4 in screen.
-----
Pros: Pretty design, easy to use... I dunno, I haven't really had many problems execpt those listed below...
Cons: It gets really hot. D: And Portal lags. Badly. It took me twelve minutes to beat GLaDOS. This simply should not be possible.


Oh I just found the processor speed. It's "2.00GHz processor speed" (desu, just because I feel like being random and I'm being redundant already). I paste that here because I don't think the school computers will let me on steam/valve/whatever. >_> Yeah, no. Anyway when I get home I'll check what Portal requires. If that's not the issue then Vista is probably running some sort of crap in the background that GLaDOS hates.
Anyway, this is my computer: http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=395913&pCatg=5680


Also: I've been playing Flyff. It's fun. Addictive. I haven't actually gotten to the flying bit yet... that's in five more levels. That'll be fun. I just learned to use magic, though. I met a few nice people who taught me about parties and let--invited me into theirs. Wizzard and Z[letters that I forget]z. Sorry. D: He was really nice too, helped me to become a mage.
I'm off to clean out my locker. Jaa ne!

Hold these.

I'm bringing my laptop to school tomorrow, and these things are currently saved in my gaia thread, which I can't access from school...

I has a laptop.

Yes I does.
And I'm using it right now.
I'm in my room. On my computer.
Mwahahahahaha.
NOW I CAN CONQUER THE WORLD. FROM MY ROOM.
You know, if I could like, haxxor. And if I had any desire to take over the world.

I'M JUST SAYING, I TOTALLY COULD.

5.15.2008

WOW.

If there's a better way to psychoanalyze GLaDOS, I don't know what it is.



Ummmm... real entry soon, I promise!

5.14.2008

So all of that aside...

"That" being the usual "that," the one I generally talk about in Japanese... Yes. I am setting it aside entirely today because babbling about it in any language is not going to get me any~where.

I've discovered that I'm really, really, REALLY uncomfortable about the death penalty in Phoenix Wright.
Like, really.
Spoilers ahead.




I just saw a thing on tegakie, a picture. I glimpsed it and I was like, "Oh hey, isn't that that gay guy?" referring to the prosecutor(?) in AJ (you know... that guy I mentioned before. I know, I know, I shouldn't be referring to him like that, but he really looks gay. I'm sorry.). So I clicked on it, and the artist's comment said something about "right after Gant's execution."

I'M FREAKING SENDING PEOPLE TO THE CHAIR HERE.
*shudder*
'N talented me, I don't even have to be a prosecutor to do it.
I know, I know. These are BAD PEOPLE. And more importantly, they are VIDEO. GAME. CHARACTERS. But I mean, hearing about Darke was one thing, because I wasn't (...directly) involved in that case, but it still made me feel queasy to hear that he was sent there on false evidence... Even if he was a murderer, it creeps me out.
And then, someone I got convicted... it creeps me out! It's like finding out that someone I know got executed! And I know it shouldn't be that much of a big deal, but we all know R.'s grip on reality is iffy~ to begin with...
So yeah. I feel icky when I think about it...
(Let it be known that I oppose the death penalty in real life, too. This isn't out of nowhere.)

Definetly, definitely have a crush.

THIS. BODES. EVIL.

Read the description. This is bad. Badbadbadbadbad. If they--



I KNOW IT'S FREAKING CONFUSING, BUT WHY DO YOU THINK SHE FREAKING FREAKED OUT ABOUT IT?!

Ohhhhhh if this is saying what I think it's saying SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE.





REMINDER, R.:
It does not belong to you.





Right now, GLaDOS is telling me that someday I'll look back at this and laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Ohhhhh boy.
I'm telling her to shut up or I'll throw her in the fire again.
She's not listening.

5.09.2008

tfygouihoiutogygo

So I've been spectacularly foresightful in terms of Justice for All. I was right about Ini and I was pretty much right about Edgeworth (ha!) AND I AM RIGHT ABOUT DE KILLER, TOO, SO NYAAAAAAAH! (I know I am. Grr.)
:P

However in other things, my life has not been anywhere near as lovely recently, so that's why I only want to play video games... Real life... how icky. One of my friends is being petty towards another one of my friends, which is freaking friend #2 out because friend #2 doesn't know what she did and ASLDJF;A.
You know, I got SO FAR in my high school career without drama, and now here we are.

x_x
Over the weekend I'm going to be home alone because mi familia is all going to a soccer tournament and leaving me. I'm going to watch War Games, which R.B. lent me because there's a reference to it in "A Day in the Life of a Turret" &because he says it's good. Konshuumatsu aetai kedo ne~ oya-tachi ga inai kara muri deshou. Hmph.

Maaaaa I'll probably be replaying Portal over the weekend. Scouting out a place for that Long Jump...

Umm... yes.

So, I've... been playing video games. >_> Yeah, I don't actually have an excuse.
I did this today: http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=17592&e=110197
Mou... miraretara kamawanai. (Dakara nihongo? Mattaku.)
We have been threatened with more snow. IT IS MAY. R. does not approve!
Iroiro ne. Ashita R.B. is coming over to play Portal... So I'm trying to get as far as possible before then. But it's just like SUDDENLYHARD. :gonk: And I'm being turretted. Thoroughly. Though they do say cute things. Most of "The Device Has Been Modified" is them, I think.
OHOHOH but that alcove is gonna give me NIGHTMAAAAARES. XD <333 It is teh roxxors, and it makes cool music. So awesome. (But yeah, nightmares. If I wake up screaming, "The cake! The cake is a lie!" you'll know why.)
Buuut yeah, I keep getting shot dead. x_x

In the Phoenix Wright world, I've finished Reunion, and Turnabout... I totally SPOILERSPOILERSPOLIERASDLFKAJPSVIGUESSEDTHATASDF;
OIAINIWASMIMI!ASDLKFENDSPOILER. Like, really. I was so proud! And surprised when I turned out to be right.

The rest of this is going to be spoily, so... shoo!




Speaking of theories, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT EDGEWORTH IS DEAD. Nuh-uh. I won't believe it! He... he... HE FAKED SUICIDE SO HE COULD HAVE SOME PEACE AND QUIET AND GO THINK! OR AVOID THAT JERK WITH THE WHIP! Shinda nanteeeeeeee. Shinjinai wa! (R. SAID "WA!" IT MUST BE A CLUE!)
But see, the fact that I've recorded that thought here bugs me, especially since it's such a short game. In a few days, if I'm wrong, I'll be terribly embarrassed and wish that I'd never recorded that thought.
But...!
But I think I'm right. ;; SHINDA NANTEEEEE SHINJINAIIIIIII!
