Random Ace Attorney Head Canons I Have

Random Ace Attorney head canons I have

(spoilers for AA1-5, haven't played the other games yet.)

The Payne's and the Edgeworth's are distant relatives, the Payne's don't know this, but Miles does, Miles does not enjoy this fact at all

Franziska and Kristoph do speak English with a German accent but, it's not super thick as they both practiced speaking English from young age

Klavier also learnt English from a young age but likes to exaggerate his accent and, say the occasional German word, because he thinks it makes him more sexy

Larry has rich snobbish parents who were super strict and neglectful, he never got along with them (being the class clown partly to rebel against them, and partly for fun) and moved out after dropping out of highschool

The Blackquills are British (I mean this is kinda canon cuz Simon is British coded but still wanna mention it)

Maya loves metal music and, often played her CDs really loud in the office on a slow day, during the events of AA1-3 (Phoenix didn't enjoy this, but knew stopping Maya wasn't worth it, especially when Peal was also in the office dancing with Maya to the music)

Trucy also likes mental thanks to Maya sending her some CDs for her 14th birthday, Phoenix refused to talk to Maya for a few months after this happened

Trucy and Pearl tried to get Apollo and Athena into metal, they failed

Lana and Iris are friends, they met each other in prison

Miles and Athena both enjoy having conversations (often about the law) with each other, due to them both being multilingual and therefore, being able to switch between languages on a whim with each other while maintaining a conversation

when miles decided to become the chief prosecutor

I completely agree. I love Wrightworth so much but, it does make me a little sad when people only see gay pinning from this line, when it's so much more than that.

For me I see this line as both Edgeworth questioning himself as a prosecutor (and if he really agrees his methods) but also him, for the first time in years being forced to feel feelings.

And by feelings I mean all of them, as (to me) AA1 Miles felt like he went on a journey from subconsciously blocking out most if not all emotions due to childhood trauma and, not wanting to change that as he was an efficient prosecutor (in his opinion before questioning it), to having to deal with Phoenix showing up in the courtroom with his savior complex, causing Miles to not just start feeling emotions in the present but, probably processing the feelings he blocked out as a child due to trauma (as I highly doubt he ever got the chance to fully grieve or was raised to be emotionally healthy after being adopted by Manfred).

"uncertainty" and "unease" after all are very broad negative emotions that would certainly apply to a person who has had status quo of the last 4 years of their life completely shattered for many, many reasons.

I get it, I get it, we all love the gay lawyers but I do feel that interpreting the "Unnecessary Feelings" line as solely romantic and ending it there really defeats the purpose of the line in the first place. The point is not "Edgeworth and Phoenix are in love" the point is "for the first time in his career, Edgeworth is forced to question the nature of his motives and method and whether or not he truly belives in them."

Like, yes it can be romantic if you want it too in addition to its intended meaning but I feel that the non-romantic connotation of the line is infinitely more important to Edgeworth's story and character and shouldn't be ignored.

Because it's Miles Edgeworth he probably knows all the accents and languages tbh

The funniest Ace Attorney head canon I've seen is Miles Edgeworth having a British accent. especially since he was born and raised in America, and probably also Germany from age 9 as his "big sister" Fanziska seems to of been born and raised there (and personally I'm Manfred adopted him believer).

So idk where a British accent would come from, is it just because he wears fancy suit, is an antagonist and drinks tea?

With all this said I saw a fun version of this head canon where Miles has specifically an oxford British accent because he trained himself to be good at multiple accents as a child and, decided he like using that one as his default accent the most. Wish I remembered the fanfic I saw this amazing hc in though :/

P : Stop that Larry!!!

L : Come on, Nickkk

M : ..?

It's okay though cuz about 8 years later he becomes a lawyer again and defends a fucken orca

What I don’t understand is why they had to disbar Phoenix so soon after Bridge. They couldn’t have given him at least a year or so to recover from the shock of what happened in his last case? No, capcom was like “yeah let’s traumatize this man, make him send his boss’s boyfriend to prison, and then let’s strip him of his badge two months later.”
