Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations - Bridge to the Turnabout (2004)
twitter loved when i showed off the unused mia fey sprites. middle is my fave but third she is so thinking
I’m going crazy thinking about the way Phoenix treats Apollo being motivated by Phoenix seeing himself in him. Like. The reason Phoenix got disbarred was because he was too naive/trusting, and by the time he meets Apollo he’s had to live with the consequences of being too trusting for years, and it’s made him bitter and paranoid and fundamentally Different than who he was when he was an attorney. And he meets Apollo, a brand new lawyer who looks up to Phoenix so much and Phoenix takes one look at him and goes oh no, this kid is exactly like I was. And not only is Apollo just like him but he’s also already making the same mistake Phoenix did in trusting the exact same guy that led to Phoenix’s disbarment, which makes Phoenix panic and he’s like I have got to disillusion him immediately before he ends up like me. The way that basically the first big lesson Phoenix teaches Apollo is “don’t trust anyone, especially not me”. And like he’s distant and cryptic and he uses Apollo for his own goals because he’s fucking projecting on this kid so hard and he’s teaching him the hard lesson that Phoenix feels like he should’ve had. Later on I think Phoenix probably regrets the way he treated Apollo, but I think he’d have a lot of trouble admitting it, because on some level admitting he was too hard on Apollo means admitting that he was too hard on himself, too.
This is my favourite Phoenix scene in the whole trilogy.
He’s just spent a whole scene absolutely terrified of Viola’s coffee, convinced she’s a poisoner, but the second he hears of her relationship struggles, of her desire to believe in the love of a man who is merely using her… Suddenly he sees himself in her, and suddenly he knows exactly how it feels to be her.
So he picks up the coffee he’s been avoiding so fearfully and drinks it right down. Viola is still a mafia princess. She’s still dangerous.
But in this moment, he understands Viola. And because he understands, he decides to believe in her. He decides to trust her with his life.

I know we’ll probably never get any information on Phoenix’s parents, but I refuse to believe his mom is named anything other than Miranda.
Miranda Wright.
