i think my favorite official but noncanonical killua moment is that novel chapter where theres a murder mystery or some shit and every time they find a body killua just talks about how well the murder was executed
normal behavior that definitely wont make everyone think youre the murderer
Oh yeah and this
Context:
The lady is a succubus, which in this setting is mostly human but with superpowered pheromones that passively make humans aroused just by being in the same room and essentially drug people out of their minds if she touches them directly. [The effect is so strong that there’s an entire government agency devoted to observing (from a long distance) all known succubi to make sure they aren’t starting suicide cults or going on murder-rape binges or whatever.] This causes her a variety of problems in life; she has to get up extremely early and stay at work late to take mostly-empty trains in order to avoid being in a crowded metal box full of humans, for example. But worst is her nonexistent love life, because how can you ever be confident that somebody has genuine romantic feelings for you if you’re supernaturally attractive to everybody? Is it ever morally acceptable to have sex if holding hands is effectively a date-rape drug?
The guy is a perfectly ordinary biology teacher, who crashed into her in the halls on his first day and got a huge dose of aphrodisiac. But she is a Respected Colleague so it would be Highly Unprofessional to think of her that way, not to mention how Inappropriate it would be for a high school teacher to do or say anything while there might be students around, and wait a minute wouldn’t treating her differently just because of her biology be Super Racist? so obviously it is his Duty to act Perfectly Normal and pretend that he Feels Nothing.
She sees that he seems to have no reaction, and this sparks her interest. Is he immune to her powers? Clearly this requires further investigation! For entirely scientific purposes, not because if he falls for her he’d be the first guy she could trust to do so for legitimate non-chemical reasons (and totally not because she might be able to bone him without feeling bad about it).
So you’ve got the world’s dorkiest succubus clumsily trying to seduce this guy and he’s trying very hard to drink enough Respect Women juice to make up for over half his blood travelling south every time he sees her. Then for added fun several of their students catch on to these shenanigans and they ship it so they decide to “help”.
you know I can respect that premise.
I could never be a lawyer in the Ace Attorney world, I can’t throw for beans. It’d end up with me shouting “Take that!” at my opposing lawyer and hitting the Judge in the face with my definitive evidence, it would be embarrassing.
Honestly, how are all these people so good at throwing stuff? Phoenix and Edgeworth are casually flinging evidence across the court at each other, Godot’s got the throwing arm of a god presumably since he can fling a full cup of coffee at someone without having it spill until it makes contact (that’s actually really impressive), in fact-
In fact, I think the only lawyer who doesn’t throw things under any circumstances might actually be Blackquill - he uses Taka to deliver stuff to his opponents.
…
…new headcanon that Simon originally started using Taka in court not just as an intimidation tactic, but because he’s actually got terrible aim.
XD XD XD
I can totally see Simon having once hit himself with his own evidence. That was the turning point. Like, “this cannot continue - I must find an alternative method.”
“Is the prosecution ready to- Prosecutor Blackquill, why do you have a hawk with you in court?”
“…he’s a service animal.”
(He already had Taka, he just didn’t bring him to court before.)
Bakura: Choke me daddy~
Malik: I'll choke you to death if you ever say that to me again.
bakura is the least convincing ryou in the universe but luckily everybody else in the cast is dumb as a box of rocks too
Exactly how I stare down my food waiting for it to cook in the microwave:
There’s a conspiracy theory that all of Kaiba’s tournaments are staged like WWE wrestling matches. (Not that everyone who enters the tournaments is involved of course, just the top duelists who always make it to the quarter-finals and beyond.) The main drivers of this theory do not hesitate to say that their number one reason for thinking this is that Kaiba and “Yugi” are such fucking drama queens, there’s no way it’s all real. (Plus, a lot of the time during matches they’re talking about destiny and fantastical plots to destroy the world? Sounds fake but okay.)
Kaiba’s so pissed that people think he’s regularly in cahoots with Yugi Mutou that he tracks down all the lead theorists and sues them for slander.
There’s so much to support this…like, the ridiculous hairstyles of key players…the loud outfits and tacky accessories (like I’m sorry but the millennium items would be tacky as fuck IRL even if they are made of gold)….the darker edgier alter egos aka dueling personas (the Undertaker is the Pharaoh in this one)….the tragic backstories and bits of narrative exposition and lore that get divulged and revealed mid-duel….duelists pulling barely legal and/or the most illegal moves (ahem, Kaiba circa duelist kingdom)….other Duelists occasionally jumping into the field to intervene….DSOD Yugi saying fuck you and going against Kaiba’s/the general manager’s wishes for the match….oh and DSOD Kaiba casually announcing to a stadium of people that the point of this expo is to show off new tech but also to resurrect a duelist’s retired dueling persona
Duel Monsters is honestly just the WWE of YuGiOh
Always a good time to bring this back.
