I got jumpscared by Miles Edgeworth and had to recreate it.

Literally, every time I watch this scene, this EXACT joke runs through my head.

Just because he "Badgai" does not mean he bad gai... eh?

A little late for Trans Visibility day, but it gave me an excuse to finally finish drawing my personal Trans Apollo Concept!

[Image description: Digital drawings of Apollo Justice from Ace Attorney as a trans woman named Persephone "Percy" Justice.

On the left is a render of her in her desk slam sprite pose, (just without the desk). Her hair is a little longer and styled in a spiky swooshing shape vaguely reminiscent of Tracer from overwatch, with the signature front spikes becoming a fuller 4 tufts slicked to the left with the lowest partially covering her right eye. Her outfit is identical to her base canonical one, the only difference being the noticeable shape of growing breasts attached to her chest. She's wearing teal green contacts matching her tie. Her eyelashes are drawn in a matching color as per the artist's artstyle. A set of makeup freckles also adorn her cheeks.

The rest of the page is a collection of doodles showing Persephone interacting with the other characters.

Persephone/Apllo, pre-transition: "I feel so bad for Robin. I can't imagine how horrible it is being forced to be a guy when you're not one." Athena: "Apollo, I'm detecting way too much discord in that statement for you to be cis." Persephone/Apollo: "I have no idea what that means."

Persephone, experimenting with long hair shaped in twin-tails going down her shoulders, similar to Lamiroir/Thalassa Gramarye: "What do you think of this style, Truce?" Trucy, in all caps: "WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE MY MOM!?!?" Persephone: "What do u mean? I based this on Lamiroir's hair."

Persephone, talking to a hairdresser with a nametag saying "Harry", "This is the cut, Mr. Styles." The hairdresser looks at a paper handed to him showing a Terraria player character with a similar hairstyle as Percephone's final design.

Klavier, winking: "Mine Frau, Justice, Perhaps now that you've found yourself you'd be open to a dinner with moi?" Athena, offscreen: "You snoose you lose, Gavin!" The Scene shifts towards Persephone, with Athena and Juniper on either side of her. Athena is sticking out her tongue, and Juniper is smiling and blushing. Persephone grins with a self-sure smugness and says, "Sorry, Klavier. I'm taken. Me, Athena, and Juniper are gonna go see a movie tonight." End description.]

Something I noticed during my recent rewatch of Dual Destinies, Apollo, at the very beginning of the game, is 100% friendly to Athena.

There's zero sign of him holding any disdain or distrust in the dialogue he has at the beginning of 5-1, and its only after he gets hit on the head that he decides to leave the office.

It's weird that this is never directly addressed by Apollo later in the game, but I can only take this as actually implying that when he was attacked between the two trial days, it was by the Phantom who had taken the form of Athena in order to trick Apollo into thinking Athena had attacked him, confirming his worst suspicions about Athena's anxious behavior.

[star-light-shadows]

There's a lot of things about Apollo Justice that piss me off, but nothing will ever compare to the fact that Phoenix having no chance to commission the forgery due to only taking the case the day before the trial is both not brought up during the trial and later treated as something unprovable, when EVERY OTHER TIME there's a last-second change of attorney, INCLUDING IN THIS GAME WITH KRISTOPH AND APOLLO, The Judge actively points it out at the beginning of the trial.

Forget the fact that these two pieces of dialogue on the subject only don't contradict each-other if you assume that the trial data just happened to be filed right after Kristoph was laid off, the Judge has no excuse not to KNOW that someone else was more likely to be at fault.

I get probably too much amusement out of the fact that this is how his introduction is phrased when it's strongly implied that his entire friendship with Ryunosuke was based on lies.

I love how the trailers describe Kazuma

Certified Lawyer and Best Friend :]

There's very evidently been a lot of discourse surrounding Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and I just want to say:

There's one simple fact that drastically boosts my enjoyment of the show that I think those who hate on the show on a level similar to USM or MSM 2017 simply don't get:

YFN Spider-Man, is more interested than anything else in trying new things, and it is having fun doing it.

Not every choice made by the series has been a home run, and even some choices that don't bother me personally are certainly valid criticisms given the greater context of how Superhero media has been doing lately, but like many media, I feel the telltale sign of a good Spider-Man show is when you can feel that the writers are having fun with it, and Good Lord are the writers having a blast with YFN.

Spectacular had fun digging deep into what made Spider-Man special and distilling it into the most impactful form it could be. 1993 and Unlimited had fun, well, frankly just being weird as hell. 2017 had fun modernizing Spider-Man to the best of its ability and taking Doc Ock in a particularly unique direction, adapting a comic plotline that without great planning and effort would be unthinkable for any animated series.

The only Spider-Man shows I've seen I can say are truly bad are ones where a lack of that fun is all too apparent, Ultimate and that weird angsty 3D one from MTV, to be specific.

Your Friendly Neighborhood is having fun trying all kinds of new things: getting down to the street level with the 110th gang, surrounding Peter with an unconventional but engaging friend group, taking MCU Iron Man's really short time as Peter's mentor and expanding into a long-form plotline with a character that isn't piggybacking Peter the whole time, making Doc Ock hilariously relatable to the nerds of the world, etc.

That and the animation really isn't that bad, seriously guys what the hell are you on about? There are ways it's better looking than Spectacular, for Peter's sake.

I just came up with probably the most chaotic love triangle that could ever make as much sense as this honestly does.

Basically, so,

I've never mentioned here on tumblr but have said numerous times elsewhere that I weirdly WISH I could ship Justicykes because the idea of Apollo's arc in Dual Destinies framed under the lens of him being in love with Athena sounds like THE JUICIEST ANGST I'VE EVER HEARD OF.

I'm especially a fan of this "Phony" AMV, which perfectly illustrates the idea of Apollo "trust issues" Justice forming such a bond with Athena that the thought of her betrayal utterly destroys him.

"Every time I find identity, it was just a dream, LIKE YOUR LOVE FOR ME!"

But for some reason, outside of that video, I just don't feel the vibes from the two of a ship I can be as feral about as I usually am over ships.

This is not at all helped by the fact that Athena is so ridiculously gay for Juniper and their ship is ridiculously cute and has ALL of the vibes.

But of course in the canon game, Juniper only ever expresses interest in Apollo, which just feels forced and completely substanceless.

So that's how I thought up the idea of a 3-way one-sided crush triangle. I cannot even begin to figure out how this would work out.

Valentine's Day, 2027

I'm more confused than anything why nobody else has brought this up, but as far as I can discern, it appears that the fake name and address Kristoph gave Drew Misham for the return letter was;

David Kristov, 424 Apple St. Blazing Springs, CA 94012

THIS. THIS THIS THIS. ALL OF THE THIS.

I had the idea for my T&T rewrite that the Jade Magatama is a sacred item given to every prospective master which they are supposed to give to the one person they trust the most, as once reaching a certain level of mastery, it's the only reliable way to enact the Spirit Severing Technique on them and stop the channeling from going wrong.

Traditionally, this "most trusted person" was intended to be the Master's husband, the Kurain Consort if you will, but the steady decline of happy marriages in Kurain over the last few hundred years has led to it more often being entrusted to a 2nd in command "royal advisor" type figure from Kurain, a tradition that Maya breaks.

Anyway, Maya knows the Magatama is supposed to be for her most trusted when she gives it to him, but neither she nor Phoenix realize the romantic implications until 3-5, and in said last case, Phoenix uses the Magatama to banish Dahlia from Maya's body.

it Has to be culturally significant that maya fey, the last remaining heir to the kurain channeling technique, the future master, gave her Personal Magatama to some lawyer. she symbolically handed phoenix wright her fuckin soul and the series itself/people in the series literally never address this???

like we’re watching someone play soj and i cannot believe rayfa has nothing to say about an Evil Defense Attorney pulling out such a sacred object (even if she does think maya as a hack, but also she would have no way of knowing its maya’s it would just be A Magatama so i say my point stands) and then using it????

i have to imagine some kurain elders were Not impressed when they found out maya fey just handed her sacred magatama off to of all things A Defense Attorney who knew her traitor sister

anyway as Known Trash i like to imagine maya functionally proposed to nick by giving him the magatama and simply never told him what it meant. that’s the real reason pearl is always so sure nick is maya’s special someone they’re Literally Betrothed but nick has no idea

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice this. For some reason, exactly half of Dahlia's sprites make her look flat as a board.

Dahlia's Schrödinger tiddies.

It's so funny and confusing to me that she is both flat and B at the same time.

Maybe that's why I gave her C-lower D to get rid of any misunderstandings x)

We'll have another tiddy shot next page.
