Phoenix I miss your bitchiness so much

And yes, that's a screenshot I took a picture of. My phone is stupid and doesn't want me to connect it to my Switch to actually properly share the screenshot and I'm too tired to do troubleshooting.

I know all the spoilers but I also don't know how it actually all plays out so shhhh but I miss him. I miss himmmm 😭😭😭

(Granted I love Apollo honestly but as soon as I realized we'd be actually playing this part as Phoenix I was HYPE)

FELLOW ACE PROSECUTOR KLAVIER GAVIN IN THE WILD?? WOW HEYA (sorry not sure about your doubles policy but :D!! Same bro!)

OH MY GOD HI!!! WIE GEHT'S!!!!!!

[curejiraiya]

like sometimes it's "this character has so much depth and I love them they're my little goo goo baby meow meow I just want to squish their cheeks and tell them it'll be okay and I want to imagine them in every scenario because they deserve to suffer and cry and come out worn but changed for the better and happy," and sometimes it's "oh that guy's hot."

Apollo Justice Character Analysis!

Rambling about Apollo again because I love him

Honestly his character growth is so good even if lot of it is just be me overthinking it 😅

But anyway love that even if they hadn't planned out his story in full in AA4 we still see it shown in others games(especially AA6)

In aa4 we see him loose trust in his mentor why also having conflicted feelings with Phoenix. He had no one to really turn to though so he kinda just went with it why still keeping Phoenix at arms length.

However, he immediately bonds with Trucy to the point after only know her a day is generally upset when he thinks she's been taken. Their bond is what carries him throughout the cases. 

We also see that he is generally worried for her reaction about her father have been killed. It means a lot more after AA6 because he knows what that's like. They mirror eachother so well. Trucy loosing her mother to unknown whereabouts,then her father disappearing only to be immediately taken in by a falsely disgraced lawyer who had a faint connection to what happened to her father.

Compared to Apollo who lost his father and mother's whereabouts unknown. Only taken in by a falsely disgraced lawyer loosely connected to what happened to his father. 

The difference between them however is Trucy was never truly abandoned by Phoenix. Their father's in their life are reversed in personality. Dhurke is like a more sympathetic Zak. He cared more for his family but he still made choices without thinking about the effects it have on his kin.

(Even some spite animation are similar)

Jove I think it's more comparable to Phoenix as a father. Greatly loving his son but still having to bring him around work because both work hard to make ends meet for him. Even with his neck on the line his first and final thought is to protect his son. Comparable to Phoenix trying to make sure he didn't leave Trucy alone again when in trial for murder. Yet it still was enough to get him to make sure the past could finally be buried. 

I love Apollo and Trucy so much btw, I love for sibling dynamics.

Apollo also being heavily reminded of his old mentor when first seeing Klavier yet see past that is Also so good, him seeing Klavier as his own person probably something Klavier rarely felt in court. He saw him as he was and that becomes something that defines his character I think. 

AA5, why a bit iffy, had some good moments though it could've been much greater. 

I think having Apollo having connection to the case was a lot, and I think it would been much more interesting if maybe he was struggling because of his power was being too much. 

They kinda had it with him not wanting to use it so he covered an eye. But think it could've been more interesting if he was having he own form of sensory overload that caused him to struggle trusting Athena in the last case

Maybe Clay still had died recently but it was due to an illness not murder, that being the reason his power became overwhelming due to high emotions.

Despite that I loved the scene where he's on the stand. His uncertainty, begging for Phoenix to just prove his doubts wrong, how some of his sprites imitate Kristoph's in aa4.

He's grown closer to Phoenix since AA4,but his past makes it hard to get closer and he's scared. Yet it was Phoenix who helped him see Kristoph for who he was so maybe he could do it again. 

"Evidence is everything in court" line hits because he is both shooting back at Athena but also repeating Kristoph as well. And perhaps reason he's struggling so hard is because he doesn't want to deal with another Kristoph, but everything else is pointing to it. It's such an important part to his growth that he pushes past his history of hurt and learn to trust again. And that's what this game does for Apollo.

Helps him trust again. 

Also Trucy should've been in it more but that one scene of her watching Apollo leave the office 100% believe she was using her abilities as well too try read him I just- she was so worried about him 😭 hc she and Klavier kept watch on him when he ended up on the hospital those times. 

AA6. Going into talking about this game brings me back to one line from Apollo in AA4.

"But Someday I'll know what law is. And I'll fight to change it if I have to. "

And that's exactly what he does here, even if it's in another country. He works to make sure it's all an even play field.

This game brings a lot to Apollo's character in Backstory. But it tells us one the big things about Apollo is that he never really was allowed to settle down with family. 

From Jove's death, to Dhurke sending him off, to Kristoph's reveal, to Clay's death, Dhurke's return to death and finally staying to help fix Khura'in's system.

He never got to for once just stay in one place for longer then a few years.

Apollo is at his core someone who never got to keep a constant in his life. He's not use to it and I think it's what also contribute to his problems trusting others. The world tells him time and time again that nothing will stay. That he'll always be moving. Yet he has found that WAA is one constant that might not go away. He swears he'll return and he most likely will. For once when he does he'll have something he can't loose. Even why he works overseas they're there for him. He has a family In both Japailfornia and Khura'in. He has a photo of his father, some recollection of who he is and who he wants to be. 

And he really only has one part of himself unanswered. Yet how many more questions will it open up?

AA7+, we don't really know if and when AA7 might come out. But based off ending of AA6 Apollo and Trucy are likely gonna find out the truth about their mother.

And I really hope we see that moment or at least the aftermath. Because that will be the true test to how far Apollo has come as a person and character. How he handles finding out his mother is alive and well but also that Trucy is his kin will test how far he has come in the last 3 games.

Especially if they learned that Phoenix knew the whole time.

I do hope we get more Athena focus in AA7, but having that set in the background certainly could be interesting especially if we see it all through Athena's eyes. I think she looks up to Apollo as a big brother in a way. He's older and first one she worked with on her first official case. They also both have natural abilities that Phoenix could only emphasize with so much given he gets his through an item not natural ability.

I'd love to see that shared trait be showed to give them more of a bond. Her learning to grow on her own as well and Apollo being there when she does.

Anyway thank you for reading my rambles about wierd lawyer man gdgd

[fictionkinfessions]

I love rambling and I think I'm hyperfixating on kin stuff, so why not answer a bunch of ask games all at once?

Canon Lost Mems - Ah for me I think it would be being on stage and playing guitar. As Klavier Gavin, playing my guitar and absolutely shredding was an adrenaline rush and burst of joy. It felt so nice to hear people go crazy when I was on stage, and... while it can be recreated it would take me years to learn it (which I AM willing to do, but at my current state it's a bit hard). Alternatively, I wish I could see more edits of me below tweets and stuff. Unfortunately, real life footage of me as Klavier Gavin Does not Exist in this world

Canon Clothes - Jewelry! I love you jewelry! During a Klavier shift rings are like, my best friends. I love rings and silver items. I have a fidget ring that is exactly like the fidget ring I used to wear on my thumb as Klav. It makes me happy. I also have a suit that's nearly identical in feeling and looks to the court outfit I used to have! Only issue is that the actual jacket part is... black, and not purple. Things were much more colorful back in Japanifornia, for sure

Canon Voices - I've got a bit of story behind this one. Oh boy do I. In AA4, my voice is perfect. It's the closest I can get, aside from like, that one particular Love Love Guilty rendition (that isn't the really off key one. I shudder at that one). I'm not going to complain about the fact that in game the english voice doesn't have a notable german accent in their objection because I do not care you don't really hear me otherwise. But Dual Destinies? Oh Dual Destinies. Dual Destinies when I catch you Dual Destinies. The minute I heard the new voice actor I physically recoiled and gagged. There was no german accent, the voice was way too... I don't know how else to describe it other than TikTok Influencer Voice. Absolutely awful. They couldn't even get someone to like, imitate a german accent? Really? Nothing??

Canon Nickels - If I had a nickel for every time I was some sort of musician or had some music-related quality, I'd have 11 nickels. Eleven. In my friend's words, I was "put on this earth to sing a silly little tune".

some thoughts on the gavin brothers and their relationship as brothers

because i am starved of content due to capcom LOCKING them away forever

First off I want to clarify that maybe there’s a little bit of bias from my end, I really like Klavier and really dislike Kristoph, so if you like Kristoph/kin him or anything, maybe like, avoid the negativity in this post /lh

yeah no my view on the brother's relationship was def some very good moments but i dont think that kristoph ever truly "loved" klavier as a brother. at first before klavier could even understand what was going on i think kris was so angry and upset and hateful to him but like, faked it? but as time went on he became more neutral on his presence and, admittedly, still faked shit, but it was easier becaues there was less hatred. Klavier was a tool to him, and the only time he got angry or slightly annoyed is when klavier didn't do something within his control or like, the final trial where he was like "You're spinning out of control!" which pretty much meant, get a hold of yourself and do like i say! i am losing control of you

i do think that there were some healthy moments though, like i said, like if klavier had a bad nightmare kristoph was the one there to comfort him because god knows their parents didn't do anything remotely close to parenting (at least in my hc) but there were some other moments where there was blatient gaslighting to a fucking 10 year old because one of them broke a plant (most likely kristoph) or was intimidating because the motherfucker wanted a piece of their chicken (kristoph)

that's my hot take my two cents; i do not think there was any . like. you know. bad bad stuff it was just manipulation and mean Because um, i think that there wasn't really anything that was genuine... i think that kristoph hated the shit out of klavier and then saw him as a tool rather than a brother, because that's what kristoph... does

He uses people to his will, and isn't afraid to just kill people to cover up the bad shit he did.

Spoilers for AA4 ahead - beware

First, he forged evidence to get phoenix out of court.

Then, tried to kill the dude who made the fraud evidence via stamp after he was done being of use to kristoph 

Then, used and manipulated his brother into thinking Phoenix was the bad guy, and tipped him off about the "evidence" 

After that, he killed 'shadi smith' aka magician motherfucker aka trucy’s biological dad who went into hiding because of the og case because he had a connection to kristoph and the crime 

And finally, started to get angry when klavier began to rebel in court against him and his control because his useful tool was no longer able to be controlled

And, to be honest, I don’t think Kristoph has any regret at all for anything he did. He doesn’t fucking care about how he just blatiently ruined MULTIPLE people’s lives, straight up gave them trauma and he Does Not Care

Despite all the hatred I hold for this ONE CHARACTER, I do find him extremely interesting, and his psyche interests me incredibly deeply. Also he’s a great catalyst for angst or hurt/comfort shit with Klavier LMAO

anyways thanks for coming to my tedtalk

[sega-saturn-arcade]

look having a nice memory with apollo and accepting scars n shit was. really really nice until i realized

fuck, dual destinies events happened. so i’ve thought about the events before the initial memory and trying to figure out how the hell they work. the timeline is fucked because of this bro idk whats going on

which leads me to believe that whatever happened was different, and the blast scars got apollo and NOT some falling debree, but then who the fuck saved Juniper Woods??

i know where i was during this, i was on tour and i remember calling apollo every now and then when i could. i don’t think i heard of this until a bit later ans like either my ass rushed over to japanafornia as fast as i could or i literally just didn’t know because EVERYONE was busy. i would say it was probably i didnt know until later

i know me and apollo were dating before this event. i know clay was still alive even after all of this. so either my canon had a REALLY fucked up vers of dual destinies or . that was just a weirdly out of place memory that happened to . be in dual destinies

slamming my head against a wall i know im probably gonna have to buy and play dual destinies to figure this out. oh the things i do for kinning

[thedetectiveofinaba]

@chibitantei​ asked: if you had to kin assign naoto an AA character, who would it be and why?

PS: if you say edgeworth i'm going to bite you

Unprompted mun questions / accepted!

What do you mean Miles Edgeworth isn’t kin assigned Edgey, he is a prissy bitch and has trauma and bad at dealing with informal social situations - 

Nah, just kidding on that. Based on the AA Trilogy and AA4, Ema Skye fits closer to home with the traits Naoto has. She appears only during the last case of AA1 and during AAI and AAI2 and can be kinda seen as the Maya Fey during the Rise From the Ashes, but her demeanor and attitude to people and her job during AA4 is sometimes really Naoto-esque. She’s also not really filtering it if she doesn’t like you as a person: she hates Klavier for spoiler reasons and it’s really obvious if you listen her talking about Klav.

One of the best lines I’ve heard from her is something Naoto would comment aka “Can’t we have a straightforward, simple murder case?!” after she’s fed up with AA convoluted murder plotlines.

OH HEY YEAH i think the main difference that makes my opinions on certain aa things like. differ from like general consensuses or whatever is the fact that I HAVENT ACTUALLY BEEN PLAYING THE GAMESSSSS i own the first one and played it a long long time ago but other than that. sdfhdfjd i kinda feel bad abt it tbh but whats done is done honestly,, but yeah ive been watching those no commentary walkthroughs on yt since 2, basically i havent done aai2 yet bc i went to aai after 4 and after that i was like I MISS PHOENIXXX so ive been on dual destinies and im abt 2/3 through that.. so my plan is to then go to aai2 and then soj. and tbh i might actually try to emulate and like PLAY those but ive never emulated before so shits scary... whether or not i do that tho i do think i wanna get the turnabout collection for my switch and then i can play thru 2 and 3 eventually n all that shit i am not immune to consumerism smh

as for reginas theme idk man its just me i dont like it u cant make me like it.. like tbh i actually think its like good as in its Effective i think.. but like my ears just hate it idk. i feel like its repetitive too and so it just gets like annoying to listen to for me.. anyway yeah i do agree basically w what you said abt 2-3 and if id played it im pretty sure id hate it too but i mean the shit i like Liked abt it was like. everything you didnt mention jdfghersdhf i love the shit that has nothing to do w the actual fuckin case ie That Part in the plaza w franziska GOD THAT PART.. and also i said this to a friend who id also been talking abt it with another time and like may as well share it with you, au where regina is 20 the ventriloquist is the one who died and everything is Fine.

k laters <3

OKAY OKAY NOT TO LIKE. PRESSURE YOU OR ANYTHING BUT. PLAYING THE GAMES YOURSELF IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE THAN WATCHING A PLAYTHROUGH. both my partner and i can attest to this, i tried to watch a playthrough of aa1 years ago and it was SO BORING but then when my current roommates wanted to play the series with me i immediately got sucked in. like. there’s some stuff you just... need to Experience for yourself i think but maybe that’s just me?? idk i don’t think i’d even be into the series at all if i hadn’t actually played it myself. 

my roommate and i ended up playing aai and aai2 after trials and tribulations because he was telling me that that’s the order the games take place in chronologically and also cuz he knows i kin really like edgeworth ghdfnd honestly i’m afraid i won’t be able to get through aa4 for like. a similar reason that you had for skipping aai2 because I Will Miss Edgeworth. 

also emulating is totally not that scary i promise the scariest part is finding the roms. emulating is totally safe and as long as you have decent antivirus software (like windows defender or just. common sense not to click on shady links) you can basically just google ‘[game title] rom’ and find stuff pretty easily. i think it took maybe 5 minutes total for me to find roms for both aai and aai2.

and bro it’s like. totally fine to have differing opinions on music i prommy. i can def understand the repetitive part but considering most of the songs are played on loop in the background anyway i start getting annoyed by any song in the games that loops more than like 3 times in a row (it’s the Sensory Issues). 

my main issue with turnabout big top (besides the ped*philia which according to my roommate didn’t even exist in the japanese version) definitely has a lot to do with having to play it. the investigation is long and tedious and the reveal of what actually happened is just so fucking Stupid and Ridiculous. when i played with my roommates i kept making guesses as to what happened with the ringmaster and how the culprit flew and shit and every time they were like “i wish that’s what actually happened, it would make more sense” ghfjfdnf and yeah i like the part in the plaza with franziska too and all the times they mention edgeworth and we get to hear more about what exactly Happened and shit but. that Cannot save the case for me. those bits do not cancel out the utter bullshit that case put me through it still fills me with rage just to think about it (other than regina my angel whom i adore).

and yeah literally just. keeping regina Of Legal Age would fix the ped*philia stuff but i probably still wouldn’t like the case just because of how stupid and rage-inducing the plot twists and reveal of the actual events were.
