[post aai2] a conversation between emotionally repressed siblings

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

Oh look. I finally draw my fav boi. PLEASE GIVE HIM LOTS OF LOVE HE DESERVE-

I CANT STOP HELP

Simon Keyes of Ace Attorney Investigations 2 is my favorite Ace Attorney villain, and I figured it would be appropriate to cross him over with Danganronpa considering that they refer to him as “The Mastermind” until they are able to determine his identity, he’s able to trick people into thinking he’s just a normal dude for most of the game whilst manipulating multiple people to kill each other, and his theme music is literally titled “The Man Who Masterminds the Game.” So take this pic!

a little something about learning to regret

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

hey fellas how are we feeling

ok. ok. listen to me. i thought about That One capcom café art and imagined an au??? or smthin??? also horace's based on zacharias barnham

/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

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

simeon saint disease in my brain

A Simon Keyes for the new name reveal!!! (I will still call him simon but the new name is nice)

speaking of that sort-of happy AU….. I do have to wonder if they’d ever get any crime done

Heehee :3 (this will either reach the right people or im getting judged 😭)

(Template under cut)

It's quite funny when someone says "none of these things would have happened if ___ had gone to therapy" whenever mentioning a villain in AA.

They seem to forget that seeking help for mental health is not a good option in the AA universe.  If you were a character in AA and revealing that you are mentally ill, there would be a high chance that you would lose your social standing and live a miserable life (an example of this is Yanni Yogi in the DL-6 case).

It's kind of sad, but I think this setting is also partly based on Japanese society, where mental illness is not considered a serious problem, and people with mental health problems are often suffer from social stigma.
