Okay, I know we all give Phoenix a hard time for defending an orca (which he deserves, chaos beast that he is), but, like… there’s also the fact that Simon Blackquill had to prosecute an orca. And Edgeworth, chief prosecutor that he is, had to be notified this was happening and then assign the case to one of his prosecutors. And he chose Simon. Just… imagine that conversation. Imagine it.

Edgeworth: Prosecutor Blackquill, here’s the file with your new trial.

Simon: Hmph, I suppose I can find time to- wait. (opens file, scans it, slowly looks back up) Edgeworth-dono… are you out of your damned mind?

Edgeworth: You’ll have to investigate around the aquarium. They have a penguin exhibit.

Simon: Come Taka, Fool Bright, we have work to do!

Also, I like to think that, by the time he becomes chief prosecutor, Edgeworth is just… enured to the madness. He’s been friends with Phoenix for the better part of a decade, he’s been through the crazy events of AAI 1 and 2, he’s tripped over more dead bodies than is statistically probable… He’s still passionate about truth and justice and rooting out corruption, but just about everything that happens, he’s got a ‘reminds me of the time’ story for. Athena’s being held hostage? Oh yeah, Maya was held hostage once by a professional assassin. We’re bringing possession and spirit mediums into court? That’s nice, tell them to say hi to Mia when they’re done, and also tell the crazy red-head to stay away. Someone’s boss/mentor/father turned out to be corrupt and also a murderer? Hoo boy, the stories he could tell.

I think the most telling comparison for how chill he’s gotten about all this is that time a dog stole his jabot when he was twenty and he went running after it and fell on his face, versus Khura’in where he’s just standing there, a small dog literally dangling from his ruffles, and just,

This is the face of a man who has been through some crazy shit and just high-key doesn’t care anymore, could we just focus on the investigation, please, he’s got paperwork to do after this.

Really disheartening to see people starting to forget what started the anti-vaxxer movement.

Its not just rich white people. Its not conspiracy theorists. It's not people who are blindly religious and condemn science.

It's all people who hate autistc people. It's straight anti-autistic ableism.

It's a movement that was started by a man who hated autistic people (autistic children specifically) so much that he used his experience as a physician to fake research that stated vaccines cause autism. That man's name is Andrew Wakefield. He's still claiming his proven-false claims are true. He was born in England but lives now in Texas. And he's STILL LEADING THE ANTI-VAX MOVEMENT.

The movemnt is inherently anti-autistic. Anti-Vaxxers willingly admit theyd rather their child be dead than autistic. Please do not erase our suffering when talking about this.
