The kinds of crack ideas that plague my mind

[cashew]

So, I'm trying to fill some pw_kink_meme prompts, but the thought that won't go away is this: Is Edgeworth a tsundere or a kuudere?

WTF self?

Also, have been pondering an AU where Miles Edgeworth gets sucked into an Otome game where he's the protagonist and has to clear ALL THE PATHS to escape the hellhole and get back to his own gay lawyer visual novel. (When writer/director Takumi Shuu admits that he was aware of and trying to please the Narumitsu crowd starting from the second game onward...yeah, as far as I'm concerned, the gay love is canon.)

Some possible paths and corresponding characters in this Otome-AU:

The childhood friend - Larry Butz (Yeah, yeah, but Phoenix Wright is too obvious)
The genki boy - Apollo Justice
The brat - Sebastian DeBeste
The playboy - Klavier Gavin
The tsundere - Shi-Long Lang
The kuudere - Simon Blackquill
The deredere - Detective Dick Gumshoe
The yandere - Kristoph Gavin
The EXTREMELY NORMAL GUY WHO IS JUST OVERPROTECTIVE - Phoenix Wright
The joke path - Missile the police dog who is a very good boy

You can't tell me Wright wouldn't wrap Edgeworth in bubble wrap and shove him in a safe if he could get away with it.

And because I'm me, I'm now pondering a bonus-path that unlocks after clearing the other romance paths that involves a murder mystery that ultimately leads to the final exit that allows Edgeworth to get his normal life back. (¬_¬ ) Someone stop me.
