I posted the link to this document earlier, however I’ve since added more to it! I’m very proud of those, and I’d appreciate if you gave it a read!
For people who don’t know, this document contains all translations in the website Markiplier posted in the description of PARADOX DETECTED, and now includes translations from ERROR and a section for theories.
TL;DR: Document now has very good extra bits to it that are worth reading!
Alright it’s theory time. (practically no spoilers I’d say).
This one’s a bit far out there but it’s been living in my head rent-free so it’s time to evict it to tumblr.
Satoru Hosonaga is Miles & Gregory Edgeworth’s ancestor. YES I SAID IT WAS FAR OUT THERE PLEASE LET ME FINISH
Okay, so if you can’t read the horrible low-res screenshot, the gist is that there are a couple visual similarities between them, being:
- All three have a sprig of hair that sticks up in the back. It’s unnoticeable from the icons alone (exception of Hosonaga), but from the sprites and in-game art both Edgeworths have that little tuft.
Also on the topic of hair, in the AA trilogy icon for Miles his hair color not only matches his father’s a bit more but also Hosonaga’s. (however in DD and SOJ it turns into a much lighter grey)
- All three have glasses. Granted, Miles gets his glasses later on in life, however it implies that they all have bad vision. Poor vision “tends to run in families”, however is not genetic.
- Both Gregory and Satoru have defined cheekbones. Miles doesn’t, however he is 100% related to Gregory so he is excused for this one.
- Not written on the image, however on the wiki their heights are all pretty close to each other.
Miles Edgeworth: 5′10′’; 178 cm
Gregory Edgeworth: 5′9′’; 176 cm
Satoru Hosonaga: 5′10′’; 178 cm
Granted, Hosonaga is from the late 1800′s/early 1900′s, so the height likely isn’t accurate. However, it is written on the wiki & supports my argument, so I will be taking it as canon despite its flaws.
THINGS CAN CHANGE THROUGH GENERATIONS. Miles and Gregory have vastly different hairstyles, and yet they’re still related. Skin tone can be accounted to lighting/health conditions. (Hosonaga has a colored background for his icon and also probably suffers from iron deficiency/anemia due to his constant coughing)
Now for personality, I’ll be going off of the Ace Attorney Wiki.
- All three are honest & hardworking.
- Professional/Serious demeanor. (Hosonaga has the wackiest disguises yet treats them all seriously & professionally so I guess.)
- Dedication to the truth. (it’s Ace Attorney what else would it be)
- Caring/Dedicating a lot for family/friends. (Miles to Phoenix, Gregory to his son & maybe Raymond Shields, Hosonaga to Asogi/Ryunosuke)
In conclusion, there is proof that Satoru Hosonaga is an Edgeworth.
Anyways, that’s the end of this theory. Personally, I quite like it, however I understand why many people would prefer other possible ancestors. Hosonaga is a background character that doesn’t have a lot of screentime, but he’s also one of my favorite characters in the whole of the Ace Attorney franchise and he deserves more love than he gets.
(low quality I’m sorry!) i just imagine archimedes as like a carrier pigeon/dog that takes organs from the enemy team and gives them to medic because medic reasons i guess. usually only takes bones because those are the only things it wont destroy with it’s beak lol.
wanted to make a short comic involving these two and the administrator, realized that i had no clue what they looked like, then realized old people are hard to draw.
on other notes, this is the first time (in recent memory) that i’ve used a reference like this! most of the time the reference wouldn’t be used for a lot except for color and clothing designs i guess. drawing this made me feel like i was on a power trip. these are 100% better than the drawings i do with no reference at all.
time to draw these guys in different poses *gulp*
WHY DIDN’T I DRAW REDMOND USING RED INK AAAAGH
(samsung notes is my favorite app to draw on. despite the fact that everything is left as a sketch and color does not exist. it is my favorite.)
Headcanon/AU: Hosonaga adopted Jezaille’s swan after she died. He thought he was doing something good.
So, the Pyro. A mysterious being that adores fire. People always wonder what’s under that mask, and many people (including me) resort to theories and headcanons.
My headcanon?
there is nothing under the mask.
Simple as that, no? But of course, there’s more to it. I’ll begin the elaboration segment of this post.
Alrighty. Pyro is just an empty flameproof suit that moves around on its own, like those empty suits of armor in fairytales. And magic clearly exists in the TF2 universe, so what’s stopping the Pyro? But the magic has to come from somewhere, and the only source of it we know so far is Merasmus (or maybe australium but that’s TF2 science for you).
The Pyro was brought to life by Merasmus and possibly Soldier as well. It was originally intended to be a weapon for whatever mafia Merasmus was being threatened by again, but Soldier interfered and ruined the ritual somehow. So now Pyro is this loveable teddy bear of a pyromaniac that waltzes around with the team bringing chaos everywhere. They act like a child, and like a kid being overprotective of their toys, they protect their team with their life.
Also Pyro is just a pinata of sorts. The suit is just filled completely with candy they collect on Halloween and whenever they get exploded the candy just bursts out everywhere too. This is my favorite part of the headcanon because I just imagine Scout getting hurt somehow and he’s making a big fuss and the Pyro just pulls off their glove and tons of candy flies out. Then Pyro picks up a little lollipop who hands it to the now horrified Scout.
This was the RED Pyro, however. What about the BLU Pyro?
BLU Pyro is just a robot. The first robot to ever be made by Mann Co, in fact. While they were cloning the RED team (see previous post titled TF2. Headcanons: Clones), they found that they couldn’t get any DNA from the RED Pyro and nothing showed up in their background check. After learning what the Pyro really was, they decided to just make a robot instead of finding a literal magician to animate another suit.
And the Pyro has such a simple job, right? Spray fire in the enemy’s direction and there you go. But the RED Pyro is alive, in some sense. They learn and adapt, they spycheck everywhere and airblast teammates in need. They help bodyguard their team and protect them. The BLU Pyro needs to be told what to do by a program, which is updated now and then by the BLU Engineer. At some point, the BLU Pyro would have so many changes to its code that it would act almost exactly like the RED Pyro, minus the liveliness and cheer.
The BLU Pyro is just the BLU Engineer’s pet project of sorts. BLU Engie ain’t helping out the team as much as the RED Engie, so he spends all of his spare time changing and adjusting code in the BLU Pyro. BLU Pyro is easily the greatest robot alive. But the amount of code it would take to make a robot act so similar to a human would easily be enough to crash the robots like Grey Mann’s. Even if his robots are powered by money, they haven’t had a brilliant mind like the Engineer work on it for years, especially on the entire army. *insert cool segue here*
Grey Mann got his idea of a robot takeover from the BLU Pyro. He stole the original blueprints for the Pyro and adapted it to suit the entire robotic army he was making. He did not know about the absurd amount of reprogramming and rebuilding the original BLU Pyro went through. Which really sucked for him, since the blueprints he stole were the for original BLU Pyro model, meaning that it was very clunky and it rattled around a lot. And since Grey Mann used the design of the BLU Pyro for his whole robot army, every single one of those robots ended up clunky and rattling. None of them have any of that extra coding from the Engineer either, so the robots in the army don’t spycheck, don’t airblast teammate, and don’t work togther as a team.
god that was a lot of writing. thanks for reading it! reblogs mean a lot to me, especially those with nice notes attached to them :D. Please give me tips for writing better too, I’ve never had a beta reader for anything except for myself.
ooh! there’s something in the directory known as Wal-World, and when I searched it up, it led to a website that “gave us access to the legal world”. and based on my limited knowledge of the legal system, cases are what’s argued in courts. the case directory may be referring to cases that were argued in some sort of universal court.
So if you go to the source code of the 404 page on the USA website, you can see it’s the background without the animated circles. I opened it in a new tab and I thought I saw Themis, the Greek personification of Justice. It seems I wasn’t wrong. It’s pretty common for Themis sculptures to be in places like courts etc, USA didn’t use it without reason. I wonder why they used one of the Earth’s symbols for all of the different aliens and species from all across the multiverse to see (its probably nothing lol, just a design choice to establish USA as a institution of justice or something) @canceltheact the Ancient Greek theme continues…
