Today sucked. I woke up in time for college at around 8:30, but my head hurt so much that I just stayed in bed. I couldn't even bring myself to use the phone because the light hurt my eyes.

( There is STUFF under this cut. Like a meme. And other stuff. )

But yeaaah working on that. That's about it, mans.

Okay, so I've made a comm for all my writing; which means I won't be writing here any more. Which is good, you know, keep the journal for a journal like other normal people and keep the writing to the comm. Which is here, if anyone's interested although idk why you would be :|.

In other news, I'm about to scoot off and do some work. It's far too early for me to be up on a Sunday, but I woke up naturally at 8 AM, and have been awake since. :| I decided that this would be a good opportunity for work. Yaaay, anatomy studies. I'm actually looking forward to it; I really hope it helps my drawing improve, you know? I'd love to be able to just draw without thinking too much on "does that look right? does it fit? does that bend that way?" :|

Uhh, I'm still up for requests if anyone wants to post some in here, I'll either work on them in this journal or post them straight into my comm and link you there. Yeaaaah. ♥

SO IN SALKIA, MY PRETTY MUCH FAVOURITE MAYA EVER JOINED. ♥ Her and my Phoenix have such chemistry as friends, there's bound to be hilarity everywhere. And I've been in a super duper writing kick lately, really in the mood to get some things written down and stuff. Creativity rocks.

( Personal stuff under the cut... )

Right, off I go to do work! Wish me luck!

saint_bliss demanded more "adorable Miley" and set me the prompt of Phoenix sending Miles flowers anonymously. So, I'm going to go ahead and do that under the cut. But before I do that, I'm going to announce that this is my official request thread for... a maximum amount of 100 word drabbles, little fics, you know, stuff like that; for the Phoenix Wright fandom. So, guys, you can request stuff from me, and I'll write it up when I have a chance. I'm open to pairing choices, and I should be fine with most anything, but if I'm uncomfortable I reserve the right to say no (although I'm sure that won't happen. :|)

It was early; he knew it was early because he always noticed the time most in the mornings. When he'd just woken up, when he'd just gotten dressed, when he'd just fixed his tousled hair. His eyes lingered for a moment longer on that dreaded cell phone-- no, he won't call him. He has no reason to call him.

And now he could feel his eyes on him as he slipped his coat on and ruefully shoved the phone into his pocket. Now he could feel the guilt that only he was capable of giving him, now he could hear the whine, feel the fingers tugging at his clothes, feel the soft breath against his ear, see flashes of skin on skin and now he found that he missed him.

He wouldn't be manipulated by imaginary thoughts, imaginary moments, he won't be seduced by silk memories slipping through his mind eye. He is better than this. He is Miles Edgeworth; the once named Demon Prosecutor.

And yet, he knew, in the back of his mind, that he would be ringing him later on.

ATTENTION PW FANS/RPERS. I AM IN NEED OF YOUR HELP.

Me and a fellow RPer need something that will make Edgeworth and Phoenix argue. And I don't mean just argue, I mean bitch fits, guys.

We want them both to say at the end of it "I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE A DOUCHE". Well, maybe not with those EXACT words, but...

SO. We can't think of anything that would seriously make them fight about EVERYTHING-- we need this for a plot development and are having nil ideas. SO. HELP A SISTER OUT, GUYS.

what's with the undead thing, LJ :|

ANYWAY this is the second time in a row where I've woken up ridiculously early/late at 3am. Oh well, it's not like I can help it. I just have to stay awake allllll day tomorrow. Again. Oh well. 8B I'm taking my laptop into life drawing tomorrow, the lecturer is intrigued to see my tablet and stuff. So that'll be cool-- but if I were the life model I'd be totally paranoid if a student had their laptop on them. They could be, idk, webcamming them or something. :| Not that I would. Although my laptop does have a webcam on it.

In other news, I bought the Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth books yesterday, and an "I believe in Miles Edgeworth" t shirt from some place. Which is awesome.

I went SHOPPING today. I bought two sketchbooks, loads of pencils and rubbers and sharpners and-- well, you know, all that good stuff. I also bought a poster from HMV and a CD; JAMES MORRISON. Oh my god, his album is so good. I didn't like him much with his first album, but I'm loving this second one like whoa. ♥ I'm totally hoping he'll be at Jason Mraz's concert, because they did a song together on his latest album (Details in the fabric = UNF). I'm really looking forward to it.~~

I'm still on a bit of a Tegaki kick. I think I like commenting more than making big entries, though, which is probably weird or something, idk.

OH LOOK, another entry that's like 4574382 words long. I could type for England, seriously.

Peace out.

P.S: I want to buy new shoes. But I shouldn't.

So. I got icon space-- and with that comes many, many, many more icons. Silly icons. That make me giggle; and in turn, I hope they make you giggle, also.

OH GOD WHY DON'T SLEEP LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THAT ABOUT. It's nearly 2 AM, which is cool, 'cause all you Americans come out from hiding around 3. And it's Saturday; so that's also cool. BUT COME MONDAY I AM SO FUCKED it's not even funny. Sleeping is like, something I neeeeever get to do these days and I am so dead in college. Ffffff. OH well.

ALSO OMGGG Perfect prosecutor demo translation is amazing. There's a Phoenix reference which made me DIE OF HAPPY, and then there's this bit where he emos about his teacups being broken and that they're from England and I was SO PROUD. Edgeworth shops ENGLISH STYLE BABY. Yeah-- yeah, I know you wish you were English right now. I can feel it. The DESPERATION.

In other news I've been listening to El Dorado. On repeat. I don't mean the soundtrack, I mean the single track. So I'm all EL DORAAAAAADDDOOOO EL DORAAAAAAAAAAAADOOOO. Yeeeah.

I've also come to notice that my LJ posts seem to be about 25 million words long. Which is totally cool, considering how I hate to have small posts filling up my BEAUTIFUL BLANK SPACE.

Speaking of beautiful blank space, I want to do something UNIQUE with this journal, only I have no idea wtf I'm doing when it comes to coding. Bawwwww. So I guess that'll never happen, like, ever.

Domiinatus starts later today. I'm kinda excited, I think it'll be cool. I just hope I can do Reno justice, is all. He's not at the level of comfort I have for Phoenix, but I'm sure I'll be okay, right? Fffff, worrying over silly things like this is, well, silly. Oh well.

I'm going to go and do something now. :| Maybe stop procrastinating on tags, or draw, or something idk.

Peace out.

...Hurrrr. It's kinda hard to assume that, though, considering I have 3 cats, and I answered on behalf of all of them. Does that mean I have, like, an 80% chance each cat? Because, that would screw with the odds like whoa, or something.

I'm actually starving right now. I need to go out and get food, but, baw. I don't want to. *Pouty faaaaace*

That's about it, really; apart frommmm I deleted all my entries on my Phoenix Wright Tegaki account and decided to start it all over again, mostly. And I'm glad I did; I've improved a lot since I made the account. If you go through the comments, you can /really/ tell. :B Which is nice! It's good to know that I'm not staying in the annoying rut of "blah", you know?

I've been watching a lot of DVDs recently; which is weird, since I'm not really a movie person. I absolutely /love/ Don Bluth. He's wonderful. He's that one guy who made All Dogs Goto Heaven, Rock-A-Doodle, Secret of Nimh, An American Tale... He also worked on Anastasia! So, yes, props go out to him for giving me a wonderful childhood filled with odd music and quirky characters. :D

My butt hurts. I will take this to mean that I need to gtfo off of it. So, later journal! It's time for Charlie to go out into the real world and BUY THINGS.

Peace out.

Fuuuuuuuuck. I am in so much goddamn pain; thank you, girly parts, for making my life a living hell. Jesus. And I don't even have any meds so I just have to sit here and take the damned pain-- and it's making it really had to concentrate on typing/rping so I have so many tags that I just can't do because my heads not in the right place. Ffffff. /angst

On a lighter note, I've been drawing on Tegaki again (it seems to stop me thinking about the pain, so that's good), but I accidentally linked someone at work and I think it was okay, but gduhfjks I felt so bad, and I'm still totally sorry. This is what I get for not thinking and sleeping and... well, being an idiot, really. :|

I've been listening to TLI. You may have been able to tell.

I lol'd. A lot. :D

I'm not really sure what else to talk about other thannn... Oh~ I absolutely love the music from Once. It's all so beautiful, you don't even need to see the movie (which is also good, but God, that music) but it would probably help. It got me playing my guitar again, so that's awesome. I'm feeling really creative recently, which is also awesome. I've been in an artblock for forever so it's nice to feel... well, creative again. I've missed it!

Okay, that's about it.
Peace out, yo.

EEEEEE

So I've been at Salkia for, like, a week now, or something, right? And I'm playing Phoenix there because I'm an RPfag, and I've been bugging Ka-chan for forever to join as Miles because I love her and we got married and omg win.

SO NOW MY PHOENIX HAS AN EDGEWORTH TO HAVE UNNECESSARY FEELINGS WITH YAYAYAAYYAAYAYYAYAYAYAYAY

This is a good moment in my very dull life, you guys. 8D

In other news, I should totally be asleep because I have college in like 3 hours and I need to pee (but I always need to pee so wtfever) annnnnd... my stomach hurts like a bitch. :(

I have tags to reply to on my RP accounts, you guys, so I should go do that. Yeah. Okay.

Peace out or something idk. :o

RP Info goes here.

Phoenix Wright The Dollsyhouse Application:

Player's Name: Charlie
AIM/email/other contact info: AIM: worthingtonthird
Personal LJ: (if applicable) whatpants

Character: Phoenix Wright
Series: Ace Attorney
Version: OU
Age: 26
Gender: Male

Appearance:


Personality:

Phoenix is a curious person, and believes in helping those who can't help themselves. He's kind hearted, and definitely means well. On the surface, Phoenix is a nice, simple and well-rounded guy. He's friendly to most anyone, loyal to all his friends and he’s more often than not ready to help anyone and everyone out. He’s a little naïve at first, trusting his clients without so much of a double take, and sometimes he tends to jump to the wrong conclusions.

To himself, Phoenix is a very sarcastic person. He always has something to say, no matter what the situation is, and although he may not say it out loud, you can bet he’s thinking something cynical. As the games go on, he slowly loses sight of his moral compass, and he becomes slightly jaded. Although his heart is still in the right place, experience tells him that not everyone is what they seem.

It’s often been suggested that Phoenix is an atrocious liar, and is clearly unable to lie his way out of any type of bag, let alone a paper one. When he’s nervous or needs time to think, he cleans the bathroom—usually the toilet— and when he’s hit rock bottom, he usually needs someone else to pull him back up. He has momentary spouts of weakness—who doesn’t?—it’s his ability to pick himself up and look at things from a whole new angle that gets him through the toughest of situations.

His eagerness to set things right in the world definitely plays a huge part in who he is, as he’s constantly fighting for the greater good. He's driven, and he's happy to put anything on the line to make sure his client gets that 'not guilty' verdict. He's good at figuring out even the most oddest of puzzles, and he'll keep at it until he figures out everything there is to figure out. He’s very smart, although he may play it down somewhat. He’s always watching those around him, even when he’s relaxing. He’s actually pretty aware, although he acts oblivious to most things.

Fears:

Weaknesses:

When he can’t see a way out of something, his brain seems to shut down and he goes into a spiral of self loathing. He’s very dependent on those around him for emotional support, and although he may not act it all the time, his friends are extremely important to him. He hates feeling as though he’s useless, and he has to try and help in some way, even if it’s simply talking something through.

He's almost too trusting, and although it could be seen as a strength, putting his faith in everyone can be extremely hard at times.

But most of all, he's only human.

Strengths/Abilities:

He’s able to see things for what they really are. He’s a good judge of character, and he’s always trying to do the right thing. He sees clues in almost everything, and he truly believes in humanity. He’s smart, he’s loyal and he’s trusting. He has only one real ability, and that's only when he's carrying the Magatama; which can sense when people are telling lies or have a darkness in their heart that they wish to hide; when this happens, psyche locks form.

These psyche locks can be broken with the correct amount of questioning, and only if Phoenix has enough information or suspicion for him to seriously question the other person.

History:

When Phoenix was in kindergarten, he was accused of stealing Miles Edgeworth’s money. The entire class turned on him, and no one would believe that he was innocent. When he felt as though he didn’t have a friend in the world, Miles Edgeworth stood up for him and demanded a class trial. His father was a defense attorney, and he did all he could to help. Larry Butz soon joined in, and in the end, Miles managed to prove Phoenix’s innocence and the three of them became best friends. Months later, Miles suddenly disappeared from school without so much as a goodbye.

Fast forward a few years to when Phoenix was in art school, studying to become an actor. He’d heard rumours about one Miles Edgeworth being the “demon prosecutor”. He’s mostly shocked at how different his friend seems to be, and after years of trying to search for him (unanswered calls, ignored letters and many failed contact attempts) Phoenix realizes that the only way he’ll ever speak to his old friend again is if he becomes a defense attorney.

He takes up a part-time degree studying law. Whilst studying at the courthouse, Phoenix meets Dahlia Hawthorne and they hit it off straight away. Dahlia gives him a necklace as a first meeting present, and they start dating. Little did Phoenix know that the necklace contained traces of poison and that on the very day she and Phoenix met, she had been summoned there to testify against an innocent person. Dahlia got off free, because they couldn’t find sufficient enough evidence to put her into jail. Six months later, Dahlia tries to poison Phoenix using his cold medicine, but the bottles end up being switched. Phoenix is taken into custody under the suspicion of murdering Doug Swallow, and Mia Fey becomes his defense attorney. She gets him a not guilty verdict and Dahlia is taken to prison.

Fast forward a couple of years to a bright eyed and bushy tailed Phoenix, just finishing his first case as a defense attorney and winning. He’s Mia Fey’s apprentice, and everything seems to be going right for once—well, as right as it could be when your first case is defending your so-called-best friend that he promised to defend as a first case. Subsequently, Larry is found not guilty, but that would be the only case in which Mia supervised alive.

The next case involves one Maya Fey, who discovers her sister’s (Mia Fey’s) dead body at Fey & Co’s law offices. With Maya’s name written on a piece of paper in blood, the detectives take her into custody under the suspicion of the murderer. Phoenix insists on giving her a fair trial and he later wins the case. He and Maya become friends, with Maya as his aide. He seemingly pays her in burgers.

Phoenix soon comes up against Edgeworth in court. The rumours Phoenix had been hearing about (Edgeworth doing anything to get a win, including fabricating evidence) appeared to be true. He wonders where his friend went so wrong, and decides that this can’t be the real Edgeworth. He battles him in court a few more times before Edgeworth confronts Phoenix and explains that he has been saddled with “unnecessary feelings” and explains that his life would be much simpler if Phoenix had never shown up; leaving a dumbstruck Phoenix in his wake.

But it wouldn’t be long before the two meet again. After watching a special news bulletin on TV, Phoenix discovers that Edgeworth has been accused of shooting someone. Phoenix rushes down to the detention center and insists on helping him out. Edgeworth, full of pride, outwardly refuses, and when questioned why, he states that no defense attorney in their right mind would take on this case, and that Phoenix simply doesn’t have enough experience. Phoenix continues to insist, and eventually wins Edgeworth over when he realizes no one else will defend him. Through this case, we find out why Edgeworth had left school all those years ago, and why he became a prosecutor instead of a defense attorney.

Although Phoenix won the case, and Edgeworth had been declared innocent, Edgeworth became ashamed of actions as a prosecutor. Phoenix later found a suicide note saying “Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth Chooses Death" and felt betrayed, not to mention upset—and thus we enter the aptly named “pissed!girlfriend!Phoenix phase.

His first case after Edgeworth's disappearance is important simply because the murderer hit him on the head with a fire extinguisher and he got amnesia-- but it worked out in the end, and Phoenix remembered everything he needed to remember to get him put away for life. The next case takes him to Maya's home; Kurain Village. This is where he met Pearl Fey, Maya's cousin, for the first time. Chronologically, this case should come before the actual first case of the game, but... Capcom decided to screw with our heads, or something.

A surgeon by the name of Turner Grey sought Phoenix out as a part of a deal struck between Maya and himself. She was to channel a spirit for him, but she would only do it if she could see Phoenix first. So Phoenix happily agreed, and off they went to Kurain village. Now, as with all things do in Phoenix's life-- it went wrong. Turner Grey was murdered in a locked room, and the only other person in there with him was Maya. Phoenix refused to believe Maya could commit a murder, and so he once again took up the position of defending her.

Now, the reason this phase is called “pissed!Girlfriend!Phoenix” is because, when little Pearl Fey brings up Edgeworth, Phoenix completely freaks out, telling her not to mention his name around Phoenix ever again—this is important, as it’s really the only time you see Phoenix give into his anger during the game series!
