The Ace Attorney games are great because everyone hears about Miles being gay but just dismisses it as baseless shipping until they actually play the game, and then without fail, they go "wait, he's actually gay?"
I'm only now realizing how boring Ace Attourney sounds if you've never heard of it. "You're a lawyer and you investigate crime" does not sound fun if you dont know about the _witnesses_
I respect that, but I would also encourage you to play the games if only because they can get buck wild and everything discussed here is just the first out of like 6 or 7 games 😆
can't believe that somehow the official valentine's day art didnt get brought up where edgeworth is sculpting a chocolate bust of pheonix. using a picture of him out of the shower. for reference.
COMING FROM AN ARTIST: that photo of Phoenix can’t even be used as reference; the actual sculpture was being made by Maya which Nick wearing a suit and facing forward, unlike in the photo. If anything, the photo would be the worst possible reference to use for the sculpture because you can’t see Nick’s face properly and he’s not wearing a suit. He’s not even in the objection pose lmao Second point: Miles isn’t even the one sculpting, he’s just melting the chocolate. He has no reason to use a photo of a naked Phoenix. In conclusion, Miles has no heterosexual reason to keep that photo. Wrightworth is canon /hj
like now i have so much information about ballistic markings and extraterritorial rights. and also what to do if my gay crush from when i was nine suddenly comes back in my life and defends me in court in a super not homoerotic way.
unfortunately, as someone who used to be obsessed with forensics when i was like seven, i already knew most of the real information that Ace Attorney includes in the games, so i really only picked up the ridiculous stuff 😂
this episode is literally what got me into ace attorney in the first place!! i couldn't just not google "did miles edgeworth fake his death because of his gay thoughts" fr thought they were exaggerating but THEY IN FACT WERE NOT
if you wanna get SUPER technical about it, he fakes his death because the gay thoughts make him have a crisis of morality and he needs to examine those feelings under a microscope to become a better prosecutor. but in the big picture yeah he had a gay panic attack and fled to europe to recuperate.
Looking at the comments I thought I would see someone like me. But instead I saw Drawfee fans who where either a little confused on Ace Attorney, knows about AA, or is now into AA because of this clip (which all make more sense than me). Meanwhile, I’m over here getting this recommended to me for being an AA fan
@@kay_faraday It's a channel where people suggest weird/silly drawing challenges and the hosts (who are very talented artists) try to fulfil them. But like.... really really funny and good. They also do some great narrative series that are like comedy D&D with drawing challenges.
Yeah, as someone who played the first 3 AA games - this is 100% accurate... Because the text is just Miles feeling uncertain how to take Phoenix's unassuming, genuine love for him, and it's either gay or the healthiest of bromances, or both. Either way, it's beautiful. Edgeworth is still 100% totes a gay nerd, though. Nothing changes that.
Love the energy of this comment lol. "You can take Phoenix and Edgeworth as boyfriends or you can just see a very good friendship, both are just as valid. However, Edgeworth IS gay"
she's not exaggerating then huh? I played the very first game but don't remember much chemistry between the two besides, you know, contention. I might have also been too young to pick up on context.
@@ourDreamcatcher She may be exaggerating some, but there is definitely a bond between Phoenix and Edgeworth that goes beyond just a rivalry. She isn't exaggerating at all when she says Phoenix became a lawyer just to see Edgeworth again; and the entirety of the fourth case of the first game is spent with Phoenix trying to look after Edgeworth while defending him of a murder charge. (By the time the third game rolls around, even if they're still considered rivals because of their professions, there straight up isn't any animosity between the two of them at all.)
@@ourDreamcatcher Honestly, I recommend it! It's a lot of fun if you like that sort of game style, the characters have many entertaining and heartwarming qualities to them. You could even get the bundle with The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles if you wanted to, which is also really great if a little long. I would wait until they go on sale, though, since that seems to happen somewhat often.
things i only know about from drawfee (karina mostly): - ace attorney - cats (2019) - neopets - digimon - columbo - supernatural (except my girlfriend made me watch a few episodes too) - twilight thank you millennials for enlightening me 🙏🙏
I appreciate this!! Especially all the editing and writing the words out! And thank you very much for linking the og episode in the description, that's always good!
in college me and two friends were working on our cosplays when their roommate walked in. she asked what we were working on. the gal working on her pyramid head apron immediately said "RAPE" (because silent Hill horror), I was working on Naruto's sexy no jutsu (he turns into a naked woman) for our skit about censorship so I followed with "nakedness", and the friend who lived there finished with a hesitant "uh... prosecuting attorney?" the roommate said, gratefully, "oh we'll that sounds normal" holding up yards of fuchsia fabric "... not really"
A friend of mine once told me how much they knew about Amphibia from the bits and pieces they got from a classmate who was deep in the fandom, the most prominent piece of information was that “there’s a throuple”, and I think that’s about the same as your first introduction to Edgeworth being that he’s gay
gonna be honest i completely forgot about this episode and thought it was gonna be the clip where karina talks about one of them getting run over or something. i dont even remmeber if she was talking about ace attorney ehrn she was talking about people getting run over. nontheless very enjoyable, i cant wait to rewatch this episode
the way that i completely forgot that phoenix gets hit by a car in one of the apollo justice cases and was stuck wondering for a solid few seconds what in the world karina talking about people getting run over had to do with ace attorney 😭
Karina forced me to buy these games and play them. She hacked my Switch and then also made me enjoy these games (for the most part, there is some pretty bad fatphobia in the Studio Case). Thanks Karina.
Ace Attorney hits kind of this weird middle ground where it seems like they're trying to specifically not be mean spirited and to make most of the characters sympathetic, but every now and then you have one of those frustrating animesque jokes, when the writing is often so much better than that and you can otherwise overlook all the anime stuff. Like making boob jokes about someone who at the same time might be the most competent person to ever live in the setting. All while somehow not even being particularly horny about it because the main dev was trying to write something his grandmother could play.
Is the trick if you don’t want to read, or you can’t read it, then you can watch a fandom or someone who’s doing let’s play a bit and they usually read it and do really good accents as well and deliver one of my favourite lines. Sorry and they say it in the best way ever.
Elegy of Games on Twitch is a fantastic voice actress, I'm sure they have streams archived of most of the games fully voiced. It's not how I learned about it, but they played a fan translation for the unfortunately still Japan exclusive games way back in the day, it's what compelled me to buy the whole series.
Also There is a guy named Larry Butz and every case also has a very predictable twist except for like the final one in the DS sequel series which hit me like a truck so i dont wanna spoil it
I think about Karina's description of Apollo Justice a lot. "You play as this guy who is adopted by no less than 4 theater kids" If you wanted to include it, it's in one of the drawing fan art videos.
Is it just me or do gay people inevitably end up projecting their headcanons onto characters who have any positive relationship (unless they are opposite sexes)? It feels like the equivalent of “the curtains are blue which represents his sadness”. They’re not always wrong, but that’s also inevitable when you throw it out everywhere
Headcannons and interpretations are more nuanced than that. And that’s not what this video is about, but I will speak on this subject for the sake of being kind and understanding that you may not understand this topic. Just as the equivalent you bring up “the curtains are blue because…” Anyone who interacts with the media can interpret things in different ways. Those interpretations (especially the example you bring up) are open and often welcome. It’s problematic to make it about gay people doing it, when everyone does it. That doesn’t even begin to dip into the cultural context of queerness and how little there is in the media. There is queer media being produced, but that doesn’t amount to the huge percentage of non-LGBTQIA people/characters. Straight people do the exact thing- Making headcannons of fiction. Because they are headcannons and no characters (in Ace Attorney) have a confirmed sexuality label. There is no harm in making headcannons. It’s not limited to something only gay people do and it’s not something you should be worrying about (especially here, where people are having fun).
@@jellyblobbb We do, though. We do tend to do it more than any of the others. I think the worst thing about it though is how that one scene is interpreted as "a funny gay joke" *ALL THE TIME*, so people miss that line being a turning point in Edgeworth's character development. This scene comes right after Edgeworth not only loses the trial, but stops himself from winning because he knew Vasquez was guilty - something that goes against his entire legacy and teachings. He literally clarifies the "unnecessary feelings" the *VERY NEXT SENTENCE* as doubting himself and what he was taught after beliving in it so heavily. But people constantly miss that because they misinterpret the scene as LOLMAO GAY JOKE? THEY GAY! I really fucking hate gay people, sometimes. I hate that I count as one of them. Non-gays never ruin that scene for themselves.
Edgeworth is interesting, cause I want to say so bad that he's actually ACE. I mean let's face it, Nuerodivergence and queerness often go hand in hand, it seems impossible for a condition/perspective that changes the way you socialize to not affect romantic interest. It feels like to me that Edgeworth has... Absolutely no aspirations of making friends or lovers, until Phoenix is like "Well we already are frienda fucker" and he's like "damn he literally is right". Not to mention it seems like Fanziska is on some level interested in him (hard to tell if it's a brotherly thing or not) but she actively knows he won't reciprocate. All that being said... Yeah Edgeworth is gay AF.
The Ace Attorney games are great because everyone hears about Miles being gay but just dismisses it as baseless shipping until they actually play the game, and then without fail, they go "wait, he's actually gay?"
Yep 😂
I told my friends about it and she was like, "Oh, I thought it was a meme thing."
Me: "Nope. They are the gayest right in the first game."
Things I need to explain about Edgeworth being gay sounds rude to straight people: look at him
He's quite unhetero
I always saw him as aroace
1. Legal hellscape ✔
2. Silly (read: annoying) witnesses ✔
3. Gay tension ✔
Yep, they nailed the summary. 💯
100% accurately
The only thing missing is a lot of found family
And mentor tiddies!
Only thing missing is Pheonix's assistant that can become dead people keeps getting framed for murder.
they are not annoying!!!! they are silly!!!
I recently had to explain to a friend that when I said Phoenix calls Miles "Daddy" that I was not joking and that it canonically happens in game 5.
I forgot about that. That did happen 😂
I cannot _imagine_ what it would be like to hear your defense lawyer call the prosecutor "daddy."
I'm only now realizing how boring Ace Attourney sounds if you've never heard of it. "You're a lawyer and you investigate crime" does not sound fun if you dont know about the _witnesses_
It was slightly aggravating when I realized how uninteresting Ace Attorney sounds when described that way.
but no i swear it's fun, you get to cross examine a 4th grader, get him a box for the stand, and make him cry! that did not make it sound better....
you’re right. its *less* fun when you know about the witnesses
“it’s the video game that permanently changed my brain and now I’m stupid” yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
As someone who's never played Ace Attorney, I get all my information from these guys and I wouldn't have it any other way!
That’s valid. You’re still getting all the lore 😂
Same
you get more accurate unfo than you would playing the games
I respect that, but I would also encourage you to play the games if only because they can get buck wild and everything discussed here is just the first out of like 6 or 7 games 😆
Getting your information the way god intended
can't believe that somehow the official valentine's day art didnt get brought up where edgeworth is sculpting a chocolate bust of pheonix. using a picture of him out of the shower. for reference.
Speaking of….
When I was collecting photos and evidence for this edit, I saved that art and completely forgot about it until this was done.
He’s gonna eat that whole thing alone in his house that’s the only option
That's not fucking real, there's no way.
@@crackedemerald4930 search it up, it’s official lmfao
COMING FROM AN ARTIST: that photo of Phoenix can’t even be used as reference; the actual sculpture was being made by Maya which Nick wearing a suit and facing forward, unlike in the photo. If anything, the photo would be the worst possible reference to use for the sculpture because you can’t see Nick’s face properly and he’s not wearing a suit. He’s not even in the objection pose lmao
Second point: Miles isn’t even the one sculpting, he’s just melting the chocolate. He has no reason to use a photo of a naked Phoenix.
In conclusion, Miles has no heterosexual reason to keep that photo. Wrightworth is canon /hj
you weren't lying, that drawfee really *can* explain phoenix wright 100% accurately for 4ish minutes!
That drawfee really can 😂
as someone with a drawfee special interest and a hyperfixation currently on ace attorney this video was made specifically for me so thank you op
Of course! I glad a match was made!!
Play it! It makes you stupid
lol glad I'm not the only one who's fallen so far into the drawfee rabbit hole that it's become a special interest
@@GWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGW oh ik I've played every aa game as of now, it has indeed made me stupid lol

Ace attorney made me smarter but in a really annoying way
Honestly, yeah 😂

The worst thing about Drawfee is sometimes I think a sketch is a hair on my phone
I-It also got me too...
Happened to me during editing 😢
this episode is literally what got me into ace attorney in the first place!! i couldn't just not google "did miles edgeworth fake his death because of his gay thoughts"
fr thought they were exaggerating but THEY IN FACT WERE NOT
They’re were in fact, no exaggerations. 😂
if you wanna get SUPER technical about it, he fakes his death because the gay thoughts make him have a crisis of morality and he needs to examine those feelings under a microscope to become a better prosecutor. but in the big picture yeah he had a gay panic attack and fled to europe to recuperate.
karina got me into ace attorney and now idk what i would do without it. speaking of, im gonna go replay great ace attorney again
I don’t know what I would do without Ace Attorney. Have fun with your replay!!
I love karina explaining things, it holds such a warm place in my heart

i truly hope you begin to watch drawfee because of this, as karina said about ace attorney it’s another one that will Change Your Brain Forever
Yeah, I think I got recommended this because I’ve watched a bit of drawfee and I’m very much an AA fan lol
Same lmao
i don't even know what drawfee is or who the people in this video are tbh

every time drawfee brings up ace attorney i feel overwhelming joy, thanks for the edit (and every time we ki--)
😂😂 of course of course. Thank you!!
Yes, my favorite videogame character Miles "Tails" Edgeworth!
This is the clip that got me into ace attorney, honestly best introduction I could have hoped for
This but is a good hook for the game
also they call a parrot to the stand and it's played completely straight
As a Phoenix Wright fan since 1985, I can attest this is 110% accurate!
Thank you for the verification
THIS EDITING IS DIVINE
THANK YOU!!!!
things i only know about from drawfee (karina mostly):

thank you millennials for enlightening me 🙏🙏
Yep. Drawfee is very helpful in teaching the masses
i've picked up so much random information about pieces of media/fandoms i'm not a part of from Drawfee lol
This editing is everything to me
❤️❤️❤️
every time they mention ace attorney i ‼️‼️‼️
Lol yeah, I love it when they do
Well this was just straight-up delightful.
Thank you!
2:21 OMG IS THAT A STEPLADDER (I need to play AA3 still a)
The excitement of the stepladder is everything to me
i did not know this is what ace attorney was about
the way this is edited is so funny thank you for making this
Of course!!! Thank YOU!!
nice!!
maybe this'll be the impetus for me to finally get around to checking out Ace Attorney
This is your sign. Check it out 😂
OBJECTION! unnecessary feelings was after the steel samurai case, not Turnabout Goodbyes.
Yeah. But their explanation wasn’t meant to be 100% accurate.
I didn’t think it was necessary to point that out in the video
I appreciate this!! Especially all the editing and writing the words out! And thank you very much for linking the og episode in the description, that's always good!
Thank you!! I appreciate your kind words. I always want to share which Drawfee videos
I have played 1/3rd of a Phoenix Wright game and was struggling to understand the point, but....I get it now. This edit is magic.
bless you for this, i’ve been wanting to find all their bits again since i played the games but it’s not easy lol
Thank you. There is a lot of bits
Ace Attorney is the best Perry Mason fanfic ever made.
in college me and two friends were working on our cosplays when their roommate walked in. she asked what we were working on. the gal working on her pyramid head apron immediately said "RAPE" (because silent Hill horror), I was working on Naruto's sexy no jutsu (he turns into a naked woman) for our skit about censorship so I followed with "nakedness", and the friend who lived there finished with a hesitant "uh... prosecuting attorney?"

I think so. I got that same but from an Amphibia fan, and I wondered if that was how I (an Ace Attorney fan) sounded as well 😂
Peak editing
❤️❤️
I can't believe they went this long about how gay edgeworth is and they didn't even bring up the himbo, Dick, which he has follow him around.
gonna be honest i completely forgot about this episode and thought it was gonna be the clip where karina talks about one of them getting run over or something. i dont even remmeber if she was talking about ace attorney ehrn she was talking about people getting run over. nontheless very enjoyable, i cant wait to rewatch this episode

This is perfect
Thank you
I just played through the game for the first time just so I could come back here and rewatch this
“He’s some gay person” yeah that’s all you need to know about Edgeworth lol
It’s the perfect description
Jelly ur back!!! ❤
I really liked the video! ur editing made me giggle a little too loudly lol
I’m back!!

THANKYOUUUU

Ace Attorney hits kind of this weird middle ground where it seems like they're trying to specifically not be mean spirited and to make most of the characters sympathetic, but every now and then you have one of those frustrating animesque jokes, when the writing is often so much better than that and you can otherwise overlook all the anime stuff. Like making boob jokes about someone who at the same time might be the most competent person to ever live in the setting. All while somehow not even being particularly horny about it because the main dev was trying to write something his grandmother could play.

Elegy of Games on Twitch is a fantastic voice actress, I'm sure they have streams archived of most of the games fully voiced.

This makes it sound like the Hannibal tv series minus the cannibalism.
Didn’t the “Unnecessary Feelings” bit happen after Turnabout Samurai, not Turnabout Goodbyes?
yeah! there's a tumblr shitpost about his unnecessary feelings actually being about him being a Will Powers fanboy lol
Yeah. I wasn’t going to include a correction on that because it added to the joke of the explanation not being completely accurate
"Talking about Edgeworth and his boyfriend for 4ish minutes"
yo, Austin Powers predates Ace Attorney by 4 years.
Your honor, that cravat belongs to Mike Myers!
Also
There is a guy named Larry Butz and every case also has a very predictable twist except for like the final one in the DS sequel series which hit me like a truck so i dont wanna spoil it
This is very true
I DID get most of my ace attorney info from karina so i sure hope it's allbperfectly accurate !
Don’t worry. It’s all completely accurate!!
as someone who got all my ace attorney info from ace attorney, it is incredibly accurate
I think about Karina's description of Apollo Justice a lot. "You play as this guy who is adopted by no less than 4 theater kids"
If you wanted to include it, it's in one of the drawing fan art videos.
I also became stupid after playing the Ace Attorney games! It was unrelated to the games though. :)
Edgeworth may be the most distressed gay who has ever existed
One of my friends is a real life Karina and it's so fun
ty
This is just "phoenix and edgeworth gay" and honestly yeah pretty much
Pretty much
So being stylish makes you gay 🗿
The devs said theyre gay and in love but refuse to act on it but Wrightworth is canon
this drawfee episode literally got me into ace attorney. i’m annoying now.
I’m glad you joined the rest of the annoying group 😂
That sounds awful. No it’s the best.
Accurate to before and after playing this game.
Yep 😂
