Misty Fey - Tumblr Posts

lately i was thinking about all the members of the Fey family we don't see.

seeing how bad the rivalry of the members of the family must've been tiring so there's gotta be more people that decided to just Get The Fuck Out.

Fey women that chose their husbands over the family tradition, whose kids don't even know they are spirit mediums.

maybe women that decided to move out and be a medium somewhere else and make some money of off it by themselves.

and other spirit mediums in the village that we just dont see in the games.

i. need. to. see. them.

Haven’t posted in a while so here’s a wip of another AA piece I’ve been working on

I still have to play around with the lighting a bit but I’m glad of how it’s coming out so far

I am OBSESSED with that AU where Miles is a sibling of Mia and Maya,, and all of them are children of Misty and Gregory. So here’s an essay I wrote about it!

Ideas are inspired by by many other comics on here tagged with #mystic miles au and #miles is a fey au. I also grabbed inspiration from this fic, so please check it out! https://archiveofourown.org/works/8724838

SPOILERS for the Ace Attorney Trilogy ahead, particularly case 3-5!

SO,, Since Iris and Dahlia moved away from Kurain at a young age and are close in age to Phoenix and Miles,, maybe they went to the same channeling school in the city as Miles.

Iris is purple and Dahlia is pink by the way lol

Gregory is a GOOD father so he would send Miles to channeling school since he’s interested in it (and also has powers,, as it turns out. The Fey blood be powerful like that)

And even though Iris and Dahlia’s dad sucks, maybe part of the divorce arrangement for him and Morgan would be that he’d also send them both to channeling school under the guise of them not losing their culture (but Morgan only cares about having a legacy at this point since she wants to put one of her own as the Master of Kurain, ONE of them needs to be able to be a spirit medium).

So they all meet when they’re like 8-10yo,, and Dahlia sucks and would probably bully Miles frequently for being the only boy in the class (since spirit channeling is meant to be passed down through the women in the family. Just for the sake of this au though,, it’s possible for men to inherit the ability, but the amount of times it’s happened in Kurain can be counted on one hand,, so it’s really rare). Dahlia’s projecting hard since at this point she’s def grappling with feeling like a massive failure because of her lack of powers and is taking it out on Miles,, easy target

Iris is feeling it too, but wow she has a friend now to support her! and Miles is like “no you’re so good at other things! You don’t need to be able to channel spirits to have worth, that’s dumb!”

Dahlia totally makes some mess up about Miles having “stolen” her and Iris’ abilities when it turns out Miles can actually channel spirits since “HE’S NOT MEANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT” and Iris doesn’t believe it at first,, but when Miles disappears a few weeks later (adopted by Manfred 🤢) she gets hella gaslighted.

Miles also knows like nothing about spirit channeling since he’s a silly city boy who doesn’t live with the Feys in his family,,, so Iris teaches him many of the technical basics when he first starts there 😌 in return they’re often partners for exercises and Miles tries to help her understand the more internal part of them.

Not pictured: Miles consistently ties his kimono the wrong way (right over left is only used when the wearer is dead) because Morgan taught him that “all men in Kurain should tie it that way” - aka she believes Miles should be dead bc her own personal vendetta against Misty + he’s a boy with more powers than her and her children (pre-Pearly) and she took that personally. She didn’t think he’d learn any different since he was moving to the city anyway so who would teach him about that kind of thing? Miles doesn’t learn why she taught him that way until 3-5 and he kinda privately has a moment like “that was on purpose. She wanted me dead. Oh MAN”

I also like to think that Miles’ strong sense of justice rubbed off a little on Iris and stuck with her through adulthood. Maybe she told Phoenix the truth in university and tried to warm him about Dahlia’s plan, but Feenie’s a little too dumb to fully put all the pieces together like that pre-murder. He’s just like “Dollie wdym???? Twin sister? Trying to plot my murder?? You’re so funny ily” and Iris is SOBBING like “Feenie PLEASE it’s been 8 months and I still haven’t gotten her necklace back yet she’s going to kill you TOMORROW” And that makes Phoenix a little less INSANE for Dahlia during the trial making Mia’s life so much easier. He doesn’t eat the necklace bc he kinda knows it’s REALLY important here and he’s gotten other signs that Dahlia’s an awful person. He’s still a bit difficult since he’s still in denial,,, but he’s less of a simp because he WAS warned. Case 3-5 probably also comes to close a little sooner since Iris is less willing to cover for Dahlia like that. She still helps her sister,, but when testifying while facing Phoenix AND Miles she may tell the truth a LOT sooner.

Also when Miles gets adopted by Manfred he can no longer attend channeling school. Misty tried to fight for custody of him when Gregory got clapped but failed since she was under fire because of the DL-6 Spirit Channeling Incident of 2001™️ and she wasn’t seen as a good fit to parent an additional child. Because of this,, Manfred isn’t under obligation to do anything to keep Miles in touch with the Fey side of the family. Miles no longer visits his siblings and Manfred pulls him out of channeling school because “it’s a waste of time,, why do that when you could speedrun becoming a prosecuting attorney?” And although Miles DOES enjoy law,, he also enjoyed spirit channeling. I hc that Manfred lives on one of those big fancy acreages, there’s 100% a waterfall somewhere on his property so Miles would sneak out through his teen years and practice his chants sitting under the flow of water like 4 times a week since that’s the only exercise he remembers from school that he can actually do by himself without a bunch of materials. It’s not proper training since he doesn’t know how to push himself aside from doing it longer each time,, and other exercises are necessary for learning how to control the powers (i say that waterfall exercise is for becoming in tune with the powers and connecting with the spirit world as a whole instead of channeling one person in particular. It’s good for expanding the reach and flexibility of the powers,, but not so much for controlling and restricting them)

This leads to Miles having INSANE spiritual energy and Pearly and Maya can FEEL it when he’s around,, but he sucks at controlling it. He’ll look down the hall in the courthouse to the elevator where his dad got killed and hear screams and see blood. In 3-5 when Dahlia un-possesses Maya in a fit of rage,, she DIVES for Miles and possesses him in a last-ditch attempt to kill Phoenix in pure fury. Miles can’t stop it or control anything that’s happening as Dahlia uses his body to jump over the desk and lunge at Phoenix in an attempt to strangle him,, and it’s only stopped by Phoenix pulling the demon-warding hood from the court record and tying it around Miles’ head. Thankfully it was painfully obvious that Miles wasn’t himself because his appearance and voice changed (Kurain Technique style) - his hair got longer and braided itself to match Dahlia’s,, and his suit jacket suddenly didn’t fit correctly since Dahlia’s much smaller in stature than him. Phoenix attests to this and Miles thankfully gets off scot-free,, but it could’ve easily been another Reunion and Turnabout-type situation with a spirit medium murdering someone while they were channeling someone who was already dead.

Afterwards Maya drags Miles to Hazakura Temple to do the special training courses with her. Miles enjoys it although he hates being imperfect at something (we hate Manfred in this house),, but Maya is very kind and supportive to her older brother 😌

I like the idea that even though Misty and Gregory divorced, it was one of the few separations in Kurain Village that was amicable and came with plans to visit in order to keep the children involved with both parents. Misty and Gregory split due to their devotion to each of their career paths - Misty can’t be the Master of Kurain in Japanifornia, and Gregory can’t be a lawyer in Kurain. Therefore, an amicable split was made between them (although the people of Kurain still dislike Gregory since he’s “just like everyone else”, but still insists on sticking around despite “making his choice”), and Greg took Miles since he wouldn’t have a place in Kurain.

When their schedules align, Gregory and Miles visit Misty, Mia, and Maya in Kurain (since they have a vehicle, it’s faster than the girls taking the bus). Since they’re all pretty young and the visits are sparse, they gotta re-introduce them almost every time XD. So the drawing are of one (or a few) of those meetings.

Miles cannot People for the life of him, so he seems like a jerk to Mia and Maya at first, but after Miles becomes friends with Phoenix and Larry, maybe he learns to open up better and they become besties.

Incorporating that Maya gets into Steel Samurai thanks to Miles. Signal Samurai ends, but Steel Samurai’s pilot episode goes on the air during one of their visits in Kurain, so Gregory and Misty make it a bonding experience for the kiddies. Mia doesn’t really get into it, since she’s the oldest (probably 15 here, thinking about their age difference :0) and generally isn’t interested in such genres. But Maya LOVES it. She was probably like Pearl at this age - not knowledgeable about the outside world, and generally rule-abiding - but this is her first taste of mischief, and the introduction of cable tv leads her to become more a prankster to keep things interesting.

I wanna post something else about how Manfred gained custody of Miles post DL-6 even though Misty existed, so watch out for that!

didn't plan on doing a set today but i saw the first post and it spoke to me and after that i needed to commit so here we are

[ID: A series of digital drawings of Ace Attorney characters, juxtaposed with Tumblr and Twitter text posts.

1: Larry Butz is on the phone, saying, "Come get your boy, he just said "flabbergasted" in front of the hoes." Miles Edgeworth is giving him an unimpressed look.

2: Edgeworth rolls his eyes and looks away from a confused Dick Gumshoe, saying, "My bad for assuming everyone has critical thinking skills, by the way."

3: Edgeworth folds his arms, blushing a little as he says, "So what if I'm in love with you. Mind your damn business." Phoenix Wright, red-faced, gives him a bewildered look.

4: Maya Fey turns to a ghostly Mia Fey, saying, ""I could fix him"? Good for you. I'm gonna join him in his insanity." A speech bubble next to Maya pictures her and Phoenix together. Mia looks worried.

5: Maya whacks Phoenix on the head with a broom, crying, "I cast concussion!" [beats you over the head with my staff]

6: Phoenix is staring down at a magazine cover depicting Sister Iris and Sister Bikini, thinking, "Not to be vague, but not again, please."

7: Mia, being channeled by Pearl Fey, pats a sweating Phoenix on the back, saying, "God gives his silliest battles to his funniest clowns." Phoenix has lent Mia his blazer to cover herself up.

8: Dahlia Hawthorne, being channeled by Maya, hunches over in a panic, saying, "No, don't banish me from this realm, I'm just a cute silly girl!"

9: Maya has a smug smile on her face as she says, "I don't have baggage, I come with lore." Depicted behind her is the scene of Mia's death, the photograph of Misty Fey from the DL-6 incident, and Morgan Fey looming over Pearl.

10: Franziska von Karma has a weary smile on her face, sweating and clutching her arms, as she says, "Turns out that my "I refuse to learn a new skill unless I'm immediately good at it" tactic is sabotaging my entire life."

DO NOT TAG AS MIA/PHOENIX OR MAYA/PHOENIX

The Ace Attorney Parenting Tier List

If there’s one thing our favorite anime lawyer series has a lot of, it’s murders. If there’s two things, then it’s murders and awful parents.

It’s harder to find a good, attentive, caring parent in these games than it is to find a well-adjusted prosecutor. But out of all the malicious schemers, child-abandoners, deadbeats and just plain dead people, who are the best and worst parents in the Ace Attorney series? 

I have decided to rank them into a tier list using a highly scientific rating system. 

Rampant, unmarked spoilers for the entire AA series within (including AAI1 and 2 and TGAA)

CW: child abandonment and neglect, some mentions of verbal abuse
