My Only Complaint About The Games Is That The Sholmes And Mikotoba Legendary Duo Part Was Too Short

I for one think the symbiotic relationship between Tumblr and AO3 is beautiful

I love inventing terrible in universe fandom drama.

Gavintwt fell into a couple months of terrible discourse about Klavier’s sexuality. people argue about whether he's gay or just queerbaiting and then people argue about how this is invasive actually and real people can't queerbait and Klavier is just openly queer the whole time with a song literally titled "my boyfriend is the prosecution's witness". blissfully unaware.

There's a trend of Gavinner stans committing crimes or messing with crime scenes just to be prosecuted/called as a witness by Klavier. he has to put out a formal statement imploring his fans to pursue other methods of getting his attention:

just. please. stop. please.

A few years after the disbarment someone digs up an old viral post that's like

📖 tilthat February 15, 2018 TIL that during a case in 2016, a defense attorney cross-examined a parrot during the final day of court. The defense won the case. 🐢 tortise-law February 15, 2018 Sit your ass the hell down this motherfucker's name is fucking Phoenix Wright and you don't understand how fucking batshit that case is. He was defending prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, who he had previously DESTROYED THE PERFECT RECORD OF. And it STARTS with Wright proving a witness didn't actually see the murder because they were searching for the goddamned Loch Ness Monster. And not only that, the case ends with him ACCUSING THE OTHER PROSECUTOR, MANFRED VON KARMA, OF ORCHESTRATING THE WHOLE MURDER AND KILLING EDGEWORTH'S FATHER. AND HE WAS RIGHT???? LIKE???? 🎩 gay-ramarye February 16, 2018 holy shit reading this guy's wiki page is a fucking trip. not only does he have a perfect win record, that defendant immediately followed this up with FAKING HIS OWN DEATH??? spacejamminninja-deactivated2018 February 16, 2018 How is this not a tv show already. What the hell do you mean he faked his death 🪶 is-the-hawk-video-cute February 17, 2018 tbh if my defense attorney cross examined a parrot and accused the opposing counsel i'd fake my death too 🌸 pinkprincess February 18, 2018 japanifornia cases are just Like That i have never heard of a normal one.

and gavinblr suddenly realizes that that was the dude Klavier got DISBARRED a couple years ago. viral sensation parrot cross-examiner Phoenix Wright. the fandom goes crazy for a few days but then Klavier does a new photoshoot and they all move on.

A post joking about shipping Klavier’s brother with the guy Klavier got disbarred becomes a huge meme in gavinblr and a subsection begins writing ironic Krisnix RPF that progressively becomes genuine and then turnabout trump happens and the fandom explodes again. Half the Krisnix shippers jump ship to Klapollo because they felt weird about shipping a murderer (and did you SEE the Kitaki case? Klavier was sooo flirting with the defense <3). The other half doubled down and reveled in the angst potential. Part of the Klapollo shippers started truthing. They study court transcripts to prove that Klavier and Apollo are in love if not already dating. Unfortunately they’re right.

extremely underrated subgenre of tumblr post: when someone makes a general statement about something, and another person offers a counter-statement that's just completely nonsensical, and the OP just agrees instantly even if it makes no sense at all

examples:

therapist: cunt dracula is not real and cannot fuck you.

mom said it's my turn to recontextualize prior gravity falls episodes into something sad 👓

So im having an Ace Attorney and Greek Mythology hyperfixation and that has led me to try and merge the two. Which. Has actually been quite fun as ive been learning what gods/goddeses have been used to represent law in ancient greece. But due to. The sheer mass of mythology at my hands. I find myself battleing to pick for some characters. Lets go over the gods associated with Law

Firstly Themis. A titan. Basically the god of law/the ruler of it. However themis often pertained to divine law, rather than human law.

Dike is the god of justice, aka the very concept of righteous justice and was associated with the justice system. Represented often by the scales and beating up her rival

Astraia is the goddess of the innocent and the pure. Representing hope and often lawful behavior. The law side of her representation comes from her being a protector of true innocence. She was also one of the last people to stick with the humans before leaving. Its says she'll come back and bring hope back to the innocent one. Her and dike are so intertwined mythos wise sone sources say they are the same goddess. But many say they are just closely associated (since they are the virgo and libra constellations, details on which is which are mixed. But its overall just the idea that justice and innoence go hand in hand

Zeus in all technically is the god of righteousness and was talked about in tandem with law alot. But. It was more so divine law. Or more accurately his law.

Poine is the daemon of retribution, retaliation, and punishment for the crime of murder and man slaughter. Said in many cases to be the mother of the furies.

The furies were also used in law pretty frequently but more as a symbol of the justice being actively served. Aka torture. So not really the lawyer lol

Nomos was basically the personification of law. Often an epithet or aspect of zeus. Said to be married to Eusebeia (the spirit of loyality, duty, and familial respect. Sometimes these two are portrayed as the parents of Dike

Nemesis is the goddess of righteous revenge. However, she is used mostly in tales of relationship conflict rather than law. But ethier way, shes said to be similar to dike but is a more aggresive form.

So. My conflict is mainly edgeworths pick (yes remember this post is also about ace attorny). Phoneix im like 70% sure i want as Astraia since hes kinda like. The laywer for the hopeless and innocent despite all odds. So because of that i could make edgeworth dike. To do the whole "omg theyre not so different afterall" thing. And dike is usually painted beating the shit out of her opposite adikea(injustice) imagine i make injustice von karma than i can draw edgeworth beating him with a hammer

But also. Poine is so. On the nose it feels perfect. It feels a bit colder than the dike who is often confused with the protector of innocence. Plus. Art wise. It becomes way easier to give them different looks lol

However. Making dike Phoniex and nemesis edgeworth could be interesting considering nemesis is often considered her more aggressive or cold side since it leans harder into punishing the evil over protecting the innocent.

Gumshoe is hermes. No question. Hermes is called law loving all the time and is the runner boy for zues. Make Damon Gant Zues and BOOM its perfect

Themis being the judge amuses me greatly since themis is more in the domain of inforcinf zueses law. Which again. Damon gant as zues makes that perfect

Much to think about

Everyone talks about how silly Ace Attorney is but only ever mentions the parrot and the Almost Christmas thing, so here’s a few highlights of insane shit that happens in Ace Attorney that I personally adore:

The famous orca defendant from Phoenix’s first case after disbarment turns out to be the secret sibling of another orca… who was also falsely accused of murder

The final case of what is widely considered one of the best games in the series involves a clown crushing the president of fantasy Hong Kong to death with a hot air balloon. The president turns out to be a body double who replaced the original president 15 years prior. This is all taken completely seriously

The inciting incident of effectively the entire series was an episode of cupcake wars that went really, REALLY poorly

The plot of the most recent mainline game is “what if defense attorneys were systematically oppressed by the government”

The main character gets hit by a car in one of the cases and walks it off. He does sprain his ankle though

Two separate characters can summon butterflies in court and make their scarves levitate. They have literally no relation to each other and this inexplicable telekinesis is never mentioned by the cast even once

A major plot point in one of the cases is someone tying a corpse to the end of a rope and then pendulum swinging them across a bridge so aggressively they get launched 30 feet into the air on the other side. This is fully animated and you get to watch it happen no less than 4 times

I've had this idea for a while - the dynamic pre-finale but post-portal-reactivation is brief but super interesting ngl. They hate each other's ass
