#i really like datz.

[ritzcuit]

i found a bunch of dialogue that ive 100% either forgotten abt or just nto seen in a while so i posting them here for me and me only

this when they're talking abt the family photo....i YELLED!!! the day WEEEEEEE all went out fishing!! WEEE!!! I KNEW DATZ WAS THERE!!!!THEY ALL SAID I WAS CRAZY BUT I KNEW IT No one doubted me. literally no one. but im still vindicated. from "well someone had to take that photo" to "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" oh datz... Also 'seems like datz has a lot to say', i know it's just the "yuty's CHANGED..." stuff but i want to read it more emotionally. i know that man has complicated and upset feelings on this kid he saw raised from a baby to now...Ok? uncle.

this one i never rly fully forgot abt bc i cite it so often but it's just nice to have a screencap.. that yeah without a doubt dhurke and datz were friends pre-fire... also everything he says abt jove is very "dhurke told me this/said that" so they didnt meet. Which idrc about. jove means nothing to be to be honest

cowards for making it metaphorical LIKE DATZ SHOULD HAVE A DRAGON TATTOO. i dont draw the tattoos ever cus i keep forgetting and am lazy but datz should have one and it should be on his heart because he's a freak. And it should be a gay thing. it should be a young dhurke and datz stick n pokeing their convictions on each others bodies like insane revolutionaries. And it's about the revolution but it's about dhurke. OKAY!??!? oh you dont fukcing get it

i didnt rly forget abt this one either but it's cutie to me i just like them Oh they are so oomfies. it'uahhhgh Datz how many conversations are you trying to cheer dhurke up and being his optimism when dhurke cant be optimistic. like that's what this always reads to me as. is datz compensating for dhurke's pragmaticism even though i do really like to think that dhurke is the optimist and datz is more pragmatic underneath it all. but they switch off they bear each others loads. (not in a gay sex way rn) like it's so. No of course he still cares about you! bc he's not gonna say "yeah i bet that little squirt doesnt gaf LOLLLL" that's crazy.

also i like dhurke was never a hands on kinda dad. And i like when datz's role in the family is as a connection. like. this is very novel to me it's very literature. apollo and datz go out into the woods for a trip and then over the course of their trip it's apollo getting closer to his dad thru datz's stories and whatnot...Like?

well OBVIOUSLY *i'd* want it to be datz as his own character and person with feelings and ideals but i get his function for writing. i understand it. it makes me crazy tho. Um anyway

i just like him

[satsuha]

then and now

[brutalitybunny]

awwww you like him

bonus

[brodorokihousuke]

would actually love to see u do some sprite redraws of characters u like!! it’d be super cool i think

I had gone through and marked every single sprite i would want to redraw before realizing it would be way too many... so i just chose one from every artbook (1-3, 4, 5, 6)

tried to choose characters that i don't draw ever or a lot! which was fun. It also only took me maybe 3 ish hours to finish all of them which i'm happy about

Ranking the Ace Attorney main cast on whether or not I think they'd be a narc

I was making a more coherent, serious post about the different approaches to justice each of the characters have and how that is shaped by their backstory... and then I realized a funnier question is what they would do if they saw you eating a weed brownie so I made this post instead

Phoenix: In the trilogy era, yes. He trusts people, but believes that trust has to be built on pursuing justice and always accepting the harsh reality. He'd be sad about it, but a narc nonetheless. In his Beanix era he's making his money through "totally legal gambling" and on the hunt for questionably legal evidence so I have no doubt in my mind there's a pot farm under the WAA for supplemental income. He gives up his narc ways and for that I salute him

Apollo: If I were to pick a single member of this cast who is NOT invited to the rotation it would be him. He had zero hesitation throwing Kristoph to the wolves after working for him for years so I know he has absolutely zero qualms about ratting out his friends or coworkers. Loyalty means nothing in the eyes of justice and it means nothing to him. He's a narc.

Athena: She's gonna lecture you and look all sad about it, but she's no snitch. She's been through the rounds with Simon so she gets it. Having to know you hurt her feelings is enough of a punishment in her eyes

Edgeworth: He's not a narc but he IS obsessed with being right, so if you don't immediately fess up with exactly what you're doing he's going to send your stoned ass to the chess dimension and honestly I think that's worse

Franziska: Unfortunately she is a cop. Narc.

Godot: Diego-era yeah he's a narc, but after the coma? I feel like he has better things to worry about, he would just ignore you. He has some soul searching to do and some grief complexes to unlearn he doesn't have the time to be a lil snitch. Post prison I think he's stoned somewhere in Kurain and chillaxing, as is his right

Klavier: Don't let his rockstar attitude fool you he's a narc and extremely annoying about it. The gavinners tour bus is dry as hell and it's all Klavier's fault. Daryan offers him a line and he gets all uppity and says "the only LINE i want you doing is the third line in the prechorus, you keep messing up the syncopation" and that's the end of that discussion

Simon: He's been in prison so he knows what's up. Not a narc. Might glare at you until you share though

Nahyuta: He's a narc and will lecture you so long about it you're tempted to turn yourself in to get out of earshot. He also never forgets and never forgives. Datz is trying to reform him but it isn't going well

Sebastian: Yes, but I think the idea of him having to turn in someone for it would make him cry so they end up comforting him instead. Kay thinks he needs to try a weed brownie

Maya: I want you to look at me and tell me she doesn't smoke weed. Not a narc

Pearl: I think if she found out that her big sister figure smoked weed she would have a heart attack. Def a narc

Trucy: I can say with absolute certainty that if you really wanted weed she could find you a dealer faster than anyone in the cast. Trucy is a magician and has grown up around a variety of people involved with some seedier institutions, she knows better than to snitch. Has not been and will never be a narc

Kay: Will help you shoplift. Not a narc

Gumshoe: A narc on principle, but would feel really bad about it and would probably let you off with a warning if you started crying or acting upset because I think he's a softie. He's not unreasonable

Ema: If you think she has even the tiniest sliver of respect for cops you're lying to yourself. Not a narc and will actively help you evade police out of principle. A homie, honestly

Fulbright: Not only is he a narc but he definitely runs the DARE program at the local highschool and is printed on half the posters they put up in the precinct. I'm also like 80% sure he doesn't actually know how weed works

OTHER DESIGNS: Baby bunny Trucy, Uendo lizard, Prosecutors, Aura Blackquill, Clay Terran, Bobby Fulbright, Skye Sisters, Valant Gramarye, Iris Wilson, Datz Are'bel, Mael Stronghart, Enoch Drebber, Satoru Hosonaga, Wocky Kitaki

AUXILIARY POSTS: modpoppy's Uendo, okartichoke's Caracalvier, Iris 1.0

Compiled here is almost every single design sketch I've done for this... AU? It's my nonsense, take it or leave it! The tag for it is "#The Great Detective's Animal Attorney", but the prefix is mostly for filtering, I just call it "Animal Attorney".

I must disclaim that this is not meant to "compete" with any other AUs or designs! They're all real and I hope my dognix can be friends with yours.

The below post has my designs for the Gavin brothers, Maya, Franziska, Phoenix, Athena, Sholmes, Lord van Zieks, aaand a teeny Harebrayne. Sadly, no Apollo this time, all his art is doodles and I hit image limit anyways! Him and Trucy may get their own post soon, however!

These were all done with my non-dominant hand, and Athena was done on a Magma board, if that explains the anything.

The Gavins are the first ones I really did, and they're both caracals! I've kinda wanted to go back and change Klavier a bit in regards to an insane headcanon, but caracalvier is too iconic like this, I just can't do it

Putting Maya and Fran together, cause they're both kitties! If Maya was a specific breed, then I forgot, but Fransizka (and her dad, by extension) are both oriental longhairs. If I weren't presently injured, I'd draw a scrungly Manfred, but alas your mind's eye will have to do the work.

Phoenix is a puppy dog! Very very nearly made him a hyena... But I couldn't. I couldn't reconcile it with Ryunosuke. I have a Yeenix in the back, for any interested parties

LASTLY for my main-series designs is Athena! She's a seal. I don't think I had a specific reason besides not being able to get ears to fit with that ponytail... Might change her to a sea lion, though!

AAAAND TGAA BONUSES... Aka the Barokorn Cinematic Universe

Sholmes is a lion (with his sad little low testosterone mane)! He was easily the hardest, as I went back and forth... Alot. He was a pigeon at first! I contemplated rabbit..? But I tried to steer away from the mascot designs, generally. I'm happy with the decision of lion, however, mostly cause it gives him fun symbolism with the whole Professor thing.

The van Zieks-es are unicorns, and Bunnybrain is a pony! I could go more in-depth, buuut that's kinda spoilery

Ryunosuke and Kazuma (not pictured) are both puppy dogs, and I think I settled on bunny for Susato?? To make her pops a bunny also? I also have some sketches of her as a sugar glider, but I don't really like most of their art 👎 so there's a couple gaps here

If anyone wants to (??!?!?!!) you can use these designs for pretty much anything you want (and feel free to extrapolate upon the rest of their designs, most of these are very limited), just make sure to tag me, partially for credit, but also because I'd just REAAAALLY want to see... They are my babies, my world, I think I might break down into tears (/pos) BUT ANYWAYS I LOVE YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH ME AND I HOPE THIS MAYBE MOTIVATES YOU TO DRAW SOME SILLY ANIMAL ATTORNEYS OF YOUR OWN!!

I JUST HAD THE BEAT GODDAMN DREAM OH MY GOD

Just had a dream that instead of Dhurke dying in the las case of SoJ, he and Inga (think that’s what the guys name was???) decided to settle things with and sports game??? I forgot what sport it was, I think it was football though.

And people REALLY cared, I went to watch it with my family and a lot of people i knew were there. On one team was the entire Wright Anything Agency, Dhurke, and Datz. The other side had Inga, Ga’ran, Amara, Nahyuta, and Rayfa. It was fucking wonderous. The royal family showed up on a speedboat for some reason, Dhurke and Datz were being homoerotic with each other the entire time, it was just wonderful. I need to have more dreams like that.

[wowowwild]

I love justquill and even if I didn't I would have to for Aura and Apollo's dynamic alone. (I don't really think his and Athena's dynamic would change much tbh except he'd have to see her more often bc she has a habit of just showing up to their apartment to see Simon.)

We already know Aura likes Apollo, personally I think they met when he and Clay would hang around the space center as teens and Apollo with all his anxiety was likely very polite and awkward. She probably bullied him a little bc she likes to bully people and Apollo is very bully-able but I think he probably would have let stuff slip about his personal life and I think they just would have had a good, fun, healthy relationship bc she sees this kid who is only a little younger than her own brother and just as kind and I think they don't exactly feel like siblings to each other, but I think they take to each other and I don't really have the mental capacity right now to write it all out.

So Apollo Justice is one of the few people Aura actually likes which boggled Simon's mind bc they didn't meet back then, he was always hanging around the psych department while Apollo and Clay were dealing with space stuff mostly except when they were in the robotics department. They probably saw each other in passing but that was it.

So when Simon says he's bringing someone special to visit (he didn't hear much about what actually happened on Apollo's end with meeting up with his sister during the retrial bc he was still in prison at the time) and he brings Apollo in and she's just ecstatic. Simon is confused as hell.

He knew Apollo had met Aura which honestly made him more nervous bc she hates almost everyone she meets and he gets a little scared when Apollo says he thinks she's nice.

Then he sees them interact. She grills him a little and chastises him for not coming to see her as often. Then they start talking about all sorts of who knows what and he should know bc he's right there but they're both laughing and he's short circuiting a little.

Then she starts to roast Apollo's taste in partners and Apollo subtly defends him and she makes a gagging gesture but they laugh. Simon's world has been flipped upside down.

Now whenever Simon mildly annoys his sister she says she's replacing him with Apollo. At first whenever they go see her or she comes to them Apollo tries his best to be proper and polite, but Aura is having none of it and slings her arm around his shoulder and roasts him until he pushes her away and fights back.

Aura and Apollo have weekly calls. Sometimes Simon is there, most of the time he's not. Aura actually feels a little comfortable opening up the tiniest bit to Apollo, mostly about Metis, but a little about her brother and how everything affected her and the tiniest about the things she is doing currently. They become really good friends and whenever Simon and Apollo have a mild fight she jokes that Apollo had better take her in the divorce. Of course Apollo knows that if they ever split and it was even a little bit his own fault he'd probably be facing death by robot and he accepts this.

Aura loves to overshare certain things to see how far she can push before Apollo will hang up on her or leave the room bc Apollo is still just too polite to her and she loves seeing how far that extends. Usually he makes up an excuse, but he's never told her to shut up. Yet. He has, however, overshared his own stuff to get her to leave him alone or just annoy her bc she really does not want to know these things about her brother and she hates the mushy stuff. She will say 'You're gross, I'm hanging up.'

Could you even imagine if they took her to Khura'in? I've said it once (actually many times) and I'll say it again, Aura would lay Amara both as a power move and bc they just genuinely have a lot in common and like each other. She would bully Nahyuta with it but her and Rayfa get along very well. Datz would love Aura, he would just think she's so funny and she can appreciate a 'yes-man'. She is having the time of her life and no one will ever know peace again.

It's sonic self-insert time B]

Datz me :]

I was also gonna make a cow version and a rat version so I could choose which one I liked best, but nahhhh, I'm settling with the cocker spaniel gal :3

My first ever drawing of her is gonna stay forever a secret cuz she looks kind of bald in it 👀

At first I was just gonna make her fur black cuz I have black hair and all (though my mom and my best friend are convinced it's actually a really dark brown, which is so lame honestly) and make her clothes black too with varying shades of dark blue. And then I realized it would look kind of ugly .__.

So now her fur is dark blue so I can give her as many black clothes as my heart desires -w-

I pray that that looks cool cuz I'm NOT gonna color her

Now I'm gonna make videos like these but with Shadow instead of Sonic

(AND NO, I AM NOT MAKING FUN OF THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS, I GENUINELY THINK THEY'RE FUN AND COOL, SO SHOO JUDGYNESS SHOO)

Hello!

We haven't met, but I've heard a lot about you from my friends. I noticed from your posts that you seem to... not be doing great, so I thought I'd shoot you a message!

Even if things feel bad now, I promise they'll get better with time. From what I've heard from Suitcase and Balloon, you're actually a lot better of a person than you think you are, despite any morally questionable decisions you might have made.

Warm Regards

Your friendly neighbourhood Honey Fungus

PS, probably don't compare yourself to jerk ceos, that guy was a real piece of work and I doubt nobody would be nearly as happy about you exploding as they were about him exploding.

Oh myz.. That's.. awfully kind of ya.I do really appreciatez it. I juzt.. I don't knowz.. I'm zcared if ..i ever..came acrozz like him to my.. contestantz. I am truly zorry though. I am. Tryingz to be a betterz perzon. It'z juzt hard toz be thinking datz after everythingz..I do appreciatez thiz though! Tremendouzly!

[ritzcuit]

my beloved Dhurke! You're a sight for sore eyes!

[satsuha]

personally i really like nahyuta and ema's relationship because i feel like it shows just how unused to having any kind of normal relationship nahyuta is. like everyone he loves is either out of reach or dangerous for him to approach or literally impossible for him to act normally around because of secrets that haven't been revealed. the only other significant relationship he has is with his tyrannical aunt .

ema is perfect because she's an outsider but she's also already on his side (legally speaking) so there's far less danger in him spending more time with her. at the same time he's probably acutely aware that he can't get too friendly; it's bad enough that his sister and mother are in ga'ran's clutches and he does not need her catching wind of another person to leverage against him. with her nahyuta can always fall back on the reasoning that she's useful to his prosecutorial duties in a way that he couldn't with apollo and especially not datz and dhurke

on top of all that the nahyuta and lana parallels are Not Subtle at all and while ema has no idea about it for the majority of the game's runtime i can be a bit delusional and say with nahyuta's tendency to do such extensive background research before his cases he probably does the same with people he works with. nahyuta reading about the sl-9 incident and feeling a kind of kinship to her even if she isn't made aware of any of it... maybe it's even the thing that makes him realize that he still holds out for the idea of dhurke saving him one day

i don't think nahyuta and ema would've discussed lana at all during the events of the game but as soon as everything's out in the open i feel like she would scold him soo badly. saying how he's lucky everything turned out how it did and that he'd better not waste any time bonding with rayfa from now on...

twitter meme

[brodorokihousuke]

Is this connected to the headcanon that neither Dhurke or Datz knew what Jove’s baby was called and so they named him themselves, Dhurke leaving it up to Datz, and he named him ‘Apple’ after his favourite food? Which was Anglicised when the L’il Justice was dropped off the shores of Japanifornia?

That always struck me as both adorable and completely in-character to have happened.

not really, admittedly 😭 I just figure that since air travel is so regulated & Apollo was left with no documentation, going to America by sea would be the easiest option. It also kind of plays into his inability to swim by making him just not like water in general (going onto a boat again would likely make him panic...)

[illustratethestars]

Y'all I am so proud of myself lately, I've done some real art progress!

First: Some fanart that doesn't look like fanart.

I designed this with intentions of it being a fanfiction cover later on. It's Datz Are'Bal from Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice, peeling an apple with a kukri knife.

I had a very specific vision for this and I really think I nailed it. I'm really trying to learn painting and colour and how colour plays in to light and shadows.

Raver.. You are an alien, yes? How was it adapting to earth's culture? Are there things you enjoy?

Are there any other aliens around such as yourself? Ones with bug-like.. Or perhaps bird-like properties?
