don’t you find it strange, the only thing we share is one last name

Did I beat you at your own game

Typical of me to put us all to shame

Welcome to the family jewels

Coal to diamond, sold to fools

Welcome to the family jewels

Ok actually you know what? I have more emotions about this.

The way that aa consistently portrays the influence that characters have on each other is incredible. But more than that, the way that it portrays the influence of horrible, awful characters on characters who fight to be morally good is so fucking important to me. I’ve written about this before—it’s woven throughout the games. Kristoph’s heavy influence on Phoenix during the seven year gap. Klavier slamming his fist against the wall. Franziska clutching her arm. But I think the most fundamental and impressive example is, of course, Miles.

Miles never takes off the caravat. His gestures, even if they’re toned down from Bratworth, are still very clearly derived from von Karma’s courtroom behavior. Everything he does is visibly shaped by the man who abused him and his sister, who murdered his father and framed him for murder. And it always will be. He is, as much as Franziska, von Karma’s living legacy.

And—let me say—that is fucking tragic. It’s horrifying. They shouldn’t have to go through that. But.

It is so important to me. AA shows us how these characters don’t need to shed every single resemblance in order to heal. Miles wears the caravat while he works and struggles and questions and ultimately becomes something greater and kinder than what was given to him. Von Karma’s legacy is Franziska and Miles Edgeworth—isn’t that hilarious? Isn’t that amazing? Hell, even the von Karma name quickly becomes associated with Franziska over her father, just like “Gavin” becomes Klavier instead of Kristoph. Klavier “air guitar in a courtroom” Gavin is Kristoph’s living legacy. And guess what? He’s one cool, levelheaded prosecution attorney.

this always reminds me of luke skywalker saying “I am a Jedi like my father before me” (no that didn’t rewrite my brain as a kid in a shitty family, why do you ask?). For him to say that to darth vader, after multiple people have expressed fear that he will turn to the Dark Side…it means: I have seen the legacy you want me to have. I know what you want me to become. But that’s not the lesson I’m taking from you. You were cruel. Lesson learned: be kind.

AA shows us how characters who were fundamentally shaped by horrible people are able to twist that influence to their own ends and heal and thrive. Makes me emotional man

do you guys know how often I think about the fact that apollo and klavier never met until months after kristoph’s arrest? that apollo hadn’t heard of a world class rockstar that happened to be his mentor’s brother that was his age until said mentor was in jail? sure, klavier came to the courtroom mostly because it was kristoph’s protege who was the defense and probably knew kris had a protege of some kind before. but they had never met. neither of them knew they were opposing counsels when they first interacted.

On second thought, I’m pretty sure Apollo didn’t even know that Kristoph had a brother though, which makes it all the more likely that, before Kristoph’s conviction, Klavier didn’t even know of Apollo’s existence. I think this shows just how private Kristoph’s life was.

Klavier clearly doesn’t know what Kristoph does and Kristoph clearly doesn’t share much with anyone, even his own protege. I mean, surely Kristoph and Apollo had small talk of atleast some kind; but if nothing about Kristoph’s family or childhood even appeared in conversations, it must’ve been about Apollo. Kristoph must’ve only learned from conversations with his protege and never shared. I also think it’s very sad that Klavier and Kristoph clearly hadn’t talked much over the 7yg, or that Kristoph just never felt the need to tell Klavier about things going on in his life. Not a clue if this makes sense

There's something interesting about how Klaviers court room quirk is air guitar.

Like all the other procecutors cause some form of harm . Franziska whips people, Godot throws his coffee, Blackquill sets Taka on people, Edgeworth is vicious with his retorts (that's the weakest of these because I'm like 90% sure phoenix just considers it foreplay) but Klavier does something that requires no physical contact with anything. He doesn't even touch an object. He's not cruel, he's not destructive, he's creative. It's something he very much does just for himself. And it maybe it causes him to be taken less seriously but its something that's can'tbe taken from him. I just find that so interesting.

A lot of AA characters have arcs about not continuing the cycle of abuse but he is maybe the most admirable example of that. He won't hurt anyone. He won't touch anything, he'll just celebrate doing well in a way that's souly for him with something he loves and force himself to recognise his success and acknowledge it.

We don't get a lot of Gavin brother interactions but the ones we do show that Kristoph belittling him and his achievements and making him doubt his own worthiness. And I love that he fights that influence by reassuring himself of his own successes in a way that can't be taken from him. Kristoph could take away his guitar, but as long as he still has his hands he can play his air guitar and know he's doing well and doing the right thing. Do you get what I mean?
