was rewatching my favorite Mentalist episode.  ( discussion of racist moment in Bloodshot )

but the rest of the writing is still fun, and it would have been so easy to just take that out.
When I write something problematic like that, because I will, either because society as constructed currently sucks, or because society as constructed currently sucks + I am not part of the minority group suffering, lemme know I screwed up, because I don't want to be a jerk, I want people to have fun reading my stuff, and it detracts from the work.
Anyway.
I thought about another blond who hides his pain behind smiles and flirting and a generally sunny attitude, started writing, went, "Wait, Apollo's more of the psychic...eh, that'll make it more interesting" and kept going.  Patrick Jane as a character is interesting because here's a guy who's genuinely loving life and living in the moment and also 100% is living for revenge, and just--there's a lot of interesting nuance to the character that makes a fusion story fun.

Main Points:
Ace Attorney
