#... cravat or jabot?

[introverting-rn]

would like to think that edgeworth’s cravat/jabot/frilly white thing has the perry the platypus effect. like he can go to steel samurai conventions without anyone going “hey isn’t that the guy who tried to prosecute will powers?” just cause of course it isn’t that guy! that guy was an entirely seperate human being who doesn’t have a neck! THIS is a different one

and then at some point he’s probably accused of another murder or some shit and edgeworth is resigned to hanging - not because he did it or because the defence job was too hard, but because he knows full well that his only alibi is buying merch at a steel samurai convention and there is no world in which he’d confess that to the court. however, phoenix gets his grimy little hands on the security tape footage and, having SEEN edgeworth’s neck for reasons i think we all know, he presents it triumphantly to save edgeworth’s life…

and then the judge penalises him and tells him to stop presenting irrelevant evidence and he goes ???? and he zooms in on edgeworth in the footage and the whole court is still going nah lol stop being an idiot

so phoenix wright, ace attorney and dropout art student, prints out a screenshot (the entire court accompanies him to the printer to make sure he’s not tampering with evidence. they all stand crammed into a room and staring at this ancient printer as it slowly chugs along. the judge sits on top of the printer so he can be taller than them) and draws three white lines on the edgeworth image. this is intended to be the start of the drawing but suddenly the entire court gasps and shrieks and falls off their chairs / printers in shock because THAT’S THE DEFENDANT RIGHT THERE HOLY SHIT

and edgeworth is just fuming over on his bench and turning beet red and hoping to be framed of another murder so he can die right about now

someone has to also correct miles on his terminology

[arttsuka]

could you draw someone getting smacked with cheese

I guess

[californiatowhee]

Me: wow I'm using a tablet for like the first time in eight years, what should I draw

My brain: trash, and make it gay

Me: ok

second worst things that's ever happened to me wrt reading ace attorney fics was paying attention to the game when it said that the reason the bracelets feel tight in response to tells is bc the metal sits right against a person's skin and gramaryes reflexively tense up when someone lies

[leeeeeeef]

those pens with black borders?? hell yeah

Okay so I resigned myself to learning the major plot points of this series through fandom because its taken me so long to get through the first trillogy game, so I wasn't going to bother with getting any of the games outside of the trilogy and maybe DD and SoJ but I just opened my 3DS for the first time in YEARS and LOOK WHAT I FOUND.

Can somebody please tell me if my bbg (Miles Edgeworth) shows up in this so ik if its worth dealing with a console that dies every 20 minutes.

Might play it anyway just for Maya.

Draw your character in different types of neck ties! (Higher Res) The silhouettes are examples, but if there's another version of each tie you like better, go for it!

just now realizing the tissue thingy on edgeworth's neck... isn't called a cravat..?

ARE YOU SAYING I'VE BEEN CALLING IT A CRAVAT FOR YEARS WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY CALLED A JABOT

WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD ME UNTIL NOW

(cravat on the left, jabot on the right)

i'm actually so flabbergasted right now thsi is NEWS to me

i dont want anyone bullying me rn might as well curl up like a ball on the floor

Someone needs to ask the important questions around here. And it's me

Phoenix with Edgeworth's poses was easier to draw than Edgeworth with Phoenix's, for some reason.

genuinely curious if the von karmas' design (in extension, miles edgeworth's) is Like That because of how european lawyers actually dress

I'm suffering researching historical clothing to determine what I can put around Jonathan Harker's neck.

So, firstly, I wanted to put him in something fancy and I was like "that white ruffly thing is a cravat right?" and upon looking at references, I realized that what I was actually thinking of was a jabot.

Cue stress. That's a Regency thing for sure.

So, I'm on the wikipedia for jabot and luckily there is mention of the late 19th century.

In the late 19th century a jabot would be a cambric or lace bib, for decorating women's clothing.

Oh, it's a women's thing in 19th century? No big deal. But still, I'm looking at references and they all say Regency AND Victorian and that isn't how it WORKS. Which makes me think it is just a Regency thing and by Jonathan's time, no one would be wearing cute little ruffles around their necks :0.

But is it really so horrible to be a bit out of date? I mean, there's Miles goddamn Edgeworth so there's a precedent for red lawyers just wearing whatever the fuck they want.

Yes, it is horrible to be inaccurate, but I may still put Jono in a jabot because I don't care anymore.
