sorry i think you probably wanted kazumas [redacted] outfit and its not that i dont think apollo is enough of a nerd its just that i don't like the outfit

[beantothemax]

we've got the band back together, folks

this ask is perfect because I can use the ‘girls night but there’s one guy in the party but don’t worry about it’ joke again

[soup-for-ghosts]

dude your (and bean's) limbus company posting is going to be the DEATH of me because im keeled over laughing whenever you give me phrases like "dante (the inferno)" and i do not know WHY

:))

well what else am I supposed to say? they’re named after dante from the divine comedy! and more relevantly the inferno (they are going to hell, it’s in their job description)

if you didn’t wanna hear about my blorbo the non-binary clock person named after dante of dante’s inferno then you should have unfollowed me /j

okay pie i need you to be a hater with me for a sec. what do you not like about tgaa im fascinated by that

OOO BOY

I'll be very brief about everything

3d: the models and animation do not have anywhere near as much emotion as og trilogy (compare literally any PW killer breakdown to Ashley Graydon)

Investigation phase: less stuff to examine and half of investigation is just Sholmes being a silly goober which I do like but I missed silly stuff like ladder/stepladder or just extra dialog.

Characters: the writing feels very shallow in some places. PW prosecutors are amazing because they're all freaks who are obsessed with Phoenix but Van Zieks doesn't even come close to that. He's described as being scary and we're supposed to be scared of the reaper thing but he's shockingly cooperative in court and his hatred of Ryunosuke is racism, and even that is mild compared to how Franziska would whip him and call him foolish like 5 times in a single sentence. You're not scared of someone if you're just told to be, we need to be shown it as well, or at least have us learn about him more than a minute pre trial to build up his reputation as terrifying.

Ryunosuke and Susato also just feel a bit flat to me. They're kinda just stoic without the small extra details that make Phoenix and Maya's dynamic so good. Again, part of what really makes PW so good is the extra stuff when examining. It also gave you more of an insight into how Phoenix and Maya interact with each other but you lose that a bit in tgaa.

Iris is just a chid prodigy, never been a huge fan of those. Franziska was fine because she just did one thing and her being an obnoxious child prodigy all mostly happened off screen, plus there were consequences (eg, she now acts really weird). Meanwhile, Iris has a degree, is an inventor and an accomplished writer on top of also doing lots of house chores.

I think having Iris be a child prodigy is fine, but they need to let her fail, be wrong and be obnoxious so she isn't just a Mary Sue.

Final case: oh my GOSH the final case was so boring. The defendant being Gina is fine because Gina is good and I liked the twist of Sholmes getting shot so it's limited how much he can help you, but. Ough.

Again going back to PW, everything is so personal. Turnabout goodbyes is all about Edgeworth and his problems. Phoenix is so passionate to defend him because of their past and the finale of having MVK turn out to be the killer is so perfect because it's so personal to the Mcs.

But then in gaa1-5, Gina is the defendant because she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Sure, she was there out of love for Iris, but the murder of Windibank was an entirely parallel event that had nothing to do with us. The defendant could've just as easily have been a random new character and the story wouldn't change much because Ryunosuke is passionate about defending everyone. I also don't like the peephole twist.

Ashley Graydon also is just not a good killer to end a game with. MVK and Engarde (including 3-5 in this comparison isn't fair bc 3-5 is the finale of the trilogy) are absolutely amazingly written villains. I don't have to go into detail why MVK is amazing you get it. Engarde plays dumb the entire time before the reveal that he's a bitch!!

But Graydon! You know from the first scene he's in that he's an evil bitch and not even in a fun way, he's just very plain and boring for a final villain.

Uh tldr: good premise and some parts are good (jury, soundtrack, character designs, gaa1-4) but it feels like a first draft

i gotta know how my guy temenos mistral octopathtraveler2 is doing i cant be the only one to have sent him to the front lines

5 times so far!!

[c-orgiis]

terribly sorry if people bring this up a lot but your dual destinies rewrite is. really good. and also there's? so much? like i know it only seems like the first filler case but its 41 PAGES. AND 12K WORDS. THATS INSANE I CANT WRITE MORE THAN LIKE 4K WITHOUT FULLY LOSING THE PLOT. anyway i think what's there so far is really good and i hope you pick it up again some time (its also okay if you dont! limits are good!)

thank you!! admittedly i haven’t had the motivation to work on it lately mainly due to my waning interest in ace attorney but i’m really glad that you liked it!

i do have a lot of the next case written already and the rest of the story planned out (pretty much) so maybe i’ll revisit it some day when my interest in aa comes back ^^

[sombrerokiwi]

just wanna say that i did see your take on [redacted] and that it made me let out an audible "woooow" from the genuine surprise. also i think that most of tumblr would release a warrant for your arrest over that take

There's too much black and stuff and I keep on thinking "God that's going to take so long to fucking style" and unfortunately all I can think of is "God that's so much energy of effort"

[drainbangle]

i just want to say that i ADORE your throne redesign. there's something so very shaped about it that i cant quite put my finger on.

oh thank you! yeah i remember i wanted to make her look more sleek like a snake + making it more... practical(?) but still attractive/fashionable hehe

[justagingerwithredhair]

You got it!

[ind1c0lite]

shi-long lang maybe? (going with the aai theme)

I know what you are

[hopeisour4letteredword]

i was hopping onto your blog again because the art is wonderful and i really need to follow you and i do love ace attorney and imagine my surprise. when crick wellsley octopathtraveler2 jumpscares me. what are you doing there little man this ain't your fandom i think

lmaooo if its any comfort crick jumpscares me every time i switch over to the tab for this blog too. Whos This Guy

(tysm for your kind words! i hope you enjoy following! :3c)

[beantothemax]

okay i simply must know what this don quixote lass's deal is and why she's named after the protagonist of the first novel ever written (who's like. a somewhat senile old italian man who thinks himself to be knight. he fights a windmill at one point)

oh iris the wrath you have just evoked….. (my entire limbus company knowledge comes from calc (@soup-for-ghosts that's you! hi!) if my explanation is lacking in some manner you can go ask them stuff as well!)

okeydokey SO don quixote is a character from limbus company! she's an exceptionally silly lass who. has a few issues BUT WE’LL GET TO THAT LATER JUST FOCUS ON THE SILLY-

her deal is… well there’s a bunch of more in-depth lore stuff you can ask calc about but her IMPORTANT deal is that she’s whimsical!!!! she talks in ye olde english filled with thou’s and henceforth’s and so on! her whimsy is unmatched :]

said ye olde english stems from the fact that she. has miiiild (they are far from mild) delusions of grandeur, believing herself to be some sort of heroic knight in a fantasy-like world which. limbus company is absolutely not. but she stays silly regardless! there’s a whole buncha stuff about alternate versions of her showing said delusions but I unfortunately do not possess the brain strength to explain that coherently

as for the don quixote (the first novel don quixote, I mean) connections, there are a few! limbus don's shoes have the word 'rocinante' on them, which is the name of book don's horse! on limbus don's spear the phrase suẽno imposible, which is spanish for 'impossible dream'! its spanish because the book don quixote is hispanic in origin! (also the impossible dream part plays into her whole. deal but dont even worry about it)

^in conclusion: her

[sombrerokiwi]

Thank you :]

The main problem is just me trying to figure out why the horrors are happening to them in such a specific manner. Like already I know Temenos and Crick are doomed Yaoi if I ever put them in a TMA setting. Like they are absolutely doomed Yaoi.

And then meanwhile I’m shaking the characters around and seeing who would get replaced by someone who doesn’t act like them or looks like them and how no one but a select few notices. Because that’s terrifying.

Man I wish I can go and put my blorbos into situations the Magnus Archives gives but they’re so fucking specific and spoiler-y that it’s so hard to put them in there without context.

kiwi i need you to understand that i NEED you to put those blorbos in those situations because that sounds SO cool even without context

[soup-for-ghosts]

i would love to see a ryunosuke if youre doing sketch reqs

accidentally made it sad oopsies <33

[these-detestable-hands]

also i PROMISE that franziska gets better as a character. she wasnt written as well as edgey or godot but listen. shes better than her first impression (and her first impression is also VERY important for understanding her as a character but i digress). i prommy

The only thing I'm remembering from this ask is that you said she's the least well written prosecutor

I'll keep that in mind 👍
