Another early Tumblr piece: I was still learning all the different ways I could bulk out Phoenix, and it wasn't long to realized I liked him big and bloated. Large and in charge... and invariably still growing.

Edit 10/1/2020 I had the chance to commish  Garlickey for a fabulous ministory to go along with the picture! (Seriously, check their fic out):

"Mr. Wright! This is the third time this month!"

Phoenix didn't have the heart to correct the Judge that it was actually the fourth time; he was too busy blushing. Two months ago, Phoenix had started on a new workout regimen to get into better shape. And it had certainly helped him get into some kind of shape. After only a few workouts-and a special protein shake that Maya had recommended—he had gained a surprising amount of muscle mass, starting to resemble a bodybuilder rather than a lawyer. But the protein shake had its side effects; namely, a near-insatiable appetite and seemingly endless stomach capacity. Every day he was eating enough to feed the entire rest of the courtroom (with Maya graciously preparing as much food as he wanted), but it was still never enough for his boundless appetite.

The result was a changed Phoenix. He walked around well over seven hundred pounds, with rippling arm and leg muscles tearing his suit apart, and more obvious, a three-foot belly that bounced and jiggled with every step he took. He was quite the sight walking through the courthouse, with people barely able to squeeze by him in hallways, and Nick unable to prevent accidents from happening, leading to the current predicament.

"Eh-heh-heh, sorry, your honor," Phoenix said, looking down at the splintered remains of the defense podium in front of him. "S-still not used to all of this." He continued, patting his belly and listening to the loud gurgling coming from inside—he was starting to get hungry again.

"We will have to reinforce it with steel next time," the judge said. "Now then, is the prosecution ready?" ...Mr. Edgeworth?"

Phoenix turned his attention across the courtroom to his old rival. Miles Edgeworth wasn't paying attention to the judge, or anything in the court besides Phoenix. A trickle of blood was coming down his nose, his cheeks were bright red, and he was practically panting, hanging on every little movement of Phoenix's bulbous stomach.

"huh, Phoenix said, rubbing his chin with one hand and his belly with the other. "I wonder if Edgeworth will share some evidence with me if I let him give me a belly rub..."
