You know, when I was 15, I had a summer job installing carpets for Albert Kodagolian on Lake Charlevoix. Horrible job, hot, indoors, forced to listen to “The Gambler” on 8-track while the rest of the world was at the beach. Three days into the job, I knew I had to quit. I asked my father for advice. All he wanted to know was whether I’d given my word to Mr. Kodagolian that I’d work the summer. I told him I had. My father suggested I stick it out. I’d given my word. Worst eight weeks of my life. Until the last day. Mr. Kodagolian shows up at the jobsite, pulls me aside, and tells me that in 27 years, no kid has ever made it through the summer, gives me a bonus $40. The most valuable money I’ve ever made. A priceless lesson about life. V a l u e l o y a l t y a b o v e a l l e l s e.

I'm sure many of you have seen the new Among Us x A Hat in Time announcement by now, which consists of new cosmetic items based off of the AHiT characters as part of the new Indie Cosmicube.
However, what I've not heard as much discussion about is the new art featured in the promo.
"New art?" you ask, glancing at the familiar sprite art of the AHiT characters in the background. "I guess Bow Kid's looks new..."
"But what about the rest of them?" I ask, smirking.
"Those have been around for years!" you protest.
"Ah-ha!" I raise a finger, a witty smile spread across my face, "but have they?"
In fact, all of the main character sprite art in the background of this promo has been redrawn. Some, like Hat Kid's, has even had design changes as well.
Let's start with Hat Kid:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overall new shading and smoother painting lines, including added highlights and shadows to create more depth
New eyes that give her a more cheery and childish appearance
New, more expressive mouth with fangs!
Updated stars on her umbrella
More detailed ears
Below you can see some of the areas pointed out and the original art we've had for years.
Next, Mustache Girl:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Again, completely new shading and highlights
New, sharp gremlin teeth (I'm loving all of the new teeth choices here, Jenna)
Brand new eyes
Changed left eyebrow position to give a more "evil" expression
New styled nose to match the other, newer art
Next, The Conductor:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
New shading and highlights
More light spill/reflections on his dark clothing and hat (see the underside of the bill and the left side of his arms/collar)
Larger tongue
Slightly more plump tie
Cleaner line art, specifically on his right hand
The crows are the same from the Welcome to Mafia Town title card, as pictured here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I didn't bother making a GIF since they didn't have any changes!
~ ~ ~
That about sums it up I think. That new Bow art is super cute, and I can't wait to see it in full. Oh, did I not mention? Gears for Breakfast didn't spend all of this time redrawing these classic images just for some Among Us promotion. Or rather, they might have, but a little birdy told me that we'll be seeing them again soon...
For what? I have no idea. No clue there. But you can be assured that we'll be getting the full, brand new versions of these pieces of art in the near future!

Without Warning - Mafia!Joel Miller Scene 12
Mafia!Joel Miller x OFC
Rating: T (y'all already know I love my f-bombs lmao)
Summary: Joel finally says those three words...
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Over the next three days, Joel went with Indi to her apartment to collect her things, insisting she stay with him while he deals with the David problem. Since she was still on break from her classes, it was easier for her to have constant security without school officials or her professors getting suspicious.
Tommy picks her up and stays at the bar her whole shift. Joel or one of his guys picks her up after and takes her home or wherever else she wants to go.  It sounded excessive, but Joel couldn’t risk losing her, not with a psychopath like David still breathing. 
They did talk about what happened when she was taken. Joel noted the details she described about David, relaying the information to Tess. He tried to keep Indi’s mind occupied with other things, giving her free range of the house, including the basement and his office. She also had access to his credit card, but he noticed she hardly used it for herself, most of the time using it for food for the guys or things around the house. He noticed a significant amount of candles and blankets appearing around the house, much to his amusement. 
The more she learned about him and the darker side of his life, the more she seemed to…thrive. She brought a warmth and brightness into the house that not even the occasional dead bodies could dampen. At first, Joel was concerned that she wasn’t more concerned about the stains and walls of guns and torture devices in the basement. She approached it with curiosity, asking questions as she held his hand and circled the dark room like they were browsing Home Depot. She was quite the enigma and he fucking loved it. 
He found her in the kitchen after they’d finally gotten all her stuff moved into his place or into storage. She was scurrying around the kitchen, arranging what looked like catering dishes on the island. 
“What’s all this?” he asked, amused by her domesticity.
“Tommy said a bunch of the guys are coming over tonight for some fight or game or something. I wanted to make sure there was enough food,” she shrugged, organizing a section for plates and utensils.
“You cooked all this?” he asked in disbelief, estimating there was enough food to feed at least fifty people spread out on the marble counters.
She scoffed loudly. “No, you ordered it on your credit card and had it delivered to the house,” she said with a wicked grin, moving towards him and wrapping her arms around his neck, stretching onto her toes to kiss him. 
“Oh I did?” he smirked, bringing an arm around her waist and pulling her closer, a sense of pride blooming in his stomach knowing he could provide for his girl and her wishes, even if it was for others. If it made her happy, he didn’t care. 
“Mhm, because you’re such a good boss who takes care of his employees,” she nodded against his lips.
“You’re spoilin’ them too much, baby girl,” he murmured, reaching around to grope her ass, making her giggle. 
When she nipped his lower lip, he instantly felt the spark of desire ignite. Lifting her leg onto his hip, he yanked her even tighter against him, her soft gasp making him smile against her sweet lips. 
The door to the garage opening and slamming shut startled them apart. “Damn, somethin’ smells good!” Tommy’s voice echoed through the house.
Joel rolled his eyes, shaking his head at his girl for indulging the guys in her hospitality. She pecked his lips, smoothing down the front of his shirt just as Tommy came in, trailed by seven other men who all immediately went straight to the island of food. 
“What the hell are you doin’ here?” Joel grumbled to his brother, one arm around Indi, the other on his hip. 
“Here to watch the game, brother,” Tommy said with his charismatic smile, “Your lovely lady here also said there’d be food and Indi, honey, you did not disappoint,” he said with a wink at her, snatching up a plate, piling wings, fries, and ribs onto it, grabbing a beer from the open cooler on the ground next to the island. 
“I’m gonna fight ‘im,” Joel grumbled, rolling his eyes after his brother disappeared into the theater room. 
“He’s only doing it because he knows it bothers you,” she soothed him, lightly scratching at his chest, a comforting sensation he’s grown to love, just as much as when she does the same to his scalp. 
“He’s askin’ for a foot up his ass,” he muttered, kissing her forehead. 
“Go sit down, handsome, I’ll make you a plate,” she insisted with a sweet smile.
“I can make my own plate, ba-.” “I want to, Joel,” she cut him off, putting a finger to his lips, replacing it with a coconut-scented kiss before giving him a light push towards the sounds of the beginnings of a football game in the other room. 
He wanted to say it so bad at that moment, looking down at her bright eyes and gorgeous smile. She cared for him in a way he’d never experienced before. In the short time she’d been staying here, his house felt more like a home than ever. The little things like finding her making coffee or coming across one of her books in the living room, it brought a sense of happiness he never thought he’d experience in his life. 
He strode casually into the theater room, collapsing on the leather recliner beside Tommy who was stuffing his face, wing sauce in his mustache. Joel shook his head at his brother, leaning back comfortably in the chair and focussing on the team about to kickoff. His men joined quickly, each of them looking absolutely elated with a plate of food and beers under their arms. Indi came in with Joel’s food, looking absolutely gorgeous in one of his t-shirts and a pair of tight shorts. Fuck, she made wearing his clothes look absolutely sinful. He noticed she’d handed him a different brand of beer, his favorite import actually. 
“Enjoy the game, no more bullets in the screen, please,” she said, leaning down to kiss his cheek as she set the plate down.
“You’re not stayin’?” he asked, a flash of disappointment in his gaze.
She smiled. “No, this,” she motioned to the screen, “is not for me, I’ll be upstairs with Ellie,” she added, giving him a final kiss on the lips before leaving them. Tommy gave Joel a hard side-eye after the national anthem, obnoxiously smirking at his brother as the first quarter started.
“The fuck are you lookin’ at?” Joel finally asked, glaring in irritation at the other man.
“You’re so fuckin’ whipped, man,” Tommy snickered quietly, “You’re not stayin’?” he imitated Joel’s deeper voice with an over exaggerated pout, breaking into another fit of laughter. 
“Don’t make me shoot you in the other leg,” Joel grumbled around the lip of his beer, keeping his eyes on the screen and voice low.
Tommy laughed. “I’m glad to see you happy, man, honestly,” he said sincerely, squeezing his shoulder, “Much less of a pain in the ass when she’s around, I’m not gonna lie,” he added, earning a hard punch to the shoulder. 
“You wanna watch the game at your place or what?” Joel fired back, the hints of a smirk on the corners of his mouth. 
“The fuck was that?! Come on ref!” Eric yelled from behind the brothers, breaking their private moment by more swears and groans from the room. 
They enjoyed the rest of the game, one or two more guys coming in right before half-time. During the breaks, they would occasionally wander back into the kitchen for more food. Joel hoped Indi had gotten something for her and Ellie before, knowing that everything on that counter would be gone by the end of the third quarter. 
He wouldn’t admit it, but he enjoyed himself that evening, actually laughing a couple times at the guy's jokes. Everyone left not long after the game, either to the bars or to their respective homes. Tommy took one of the guest rooms, having gotten a little too much into the bar at the back of the room, evident by his loud stumbling around the house. Once he was secured in a room, Joel went in search of his girlfriend and his child. 
Using the security app on his phone, he swiped through the various camera feeds around his house until he found Indi and Eliie sitting on the second-story balcony in the swinging bench they often smoked together on. Ellie had a sketch pad in her lap that she was very focussed on and Indi seemed to be scrolling through her social media. He couldn’t help but smile at the feed, thankful that his two girls got along so well. Upstairs, he found the doors to the balcony open, the girl’s quiet conversation drifting towards him.
“Does it hurt?” Ellie asked, her voice low as she stared down at the paper.
“Yeah, the first time for sure, but it gets less painful every time you do it,” Indi said casually.
Joel’s curiosity had him pausing in the doorway.
“Did you bleed a lot?” Ellie asked after a minute.
“Oh yeah,” Indi huffed, “But everyone’s different, it just depends,” she added.
Now Joel was concerned. “What’ve y’all been up to?” he asked, making both girls jump. 
When they turned to look at him, Indi smiled and Ellie rolled her eyes. He felt awkward, his body stiff, as he contemplated outright asking if Indi was talking to Ellie about…sex. He couldn’t help but grimace at the thought. Also, he didn’t know if he was completely comfortable with that, especially since Ellie’s girlfriend has yet to show her face. 
“I want to get a tattoo,” Ellie said decisively, holding up her sketchpad to show him a rough design of what looked to be some kind of gnome with a…tiny knife in its hand? He shook his head.
“Not ‘til you’re eighteen,” he grumbled, so relieved that they weren’t talking about sex.
“I was telling her about my first one,” Indi added, her eyes drawing him closer until he sat between them. 
“I can wait two years,” Ellie shrugged, stifling a yawn. 
“Get some sleep, kid, I’ll take you back to Bill ‘nd Frank’s tomorrow,” Joel said, affectionately rubbing her back and giving her a light push onto her feet. 
She said goodnight to both of them, wandering off into the quiet house to one of the empty guest rooms on the second floor. Joel turned to Indi with a lopsided grin, making her giggle. 
“What?” she asked, suspicious of the look.
“When I came in here,” he began, wrapping his arm around her, “I, honest-to-God, thought you were given’ her the talk,” he said laughing with a hard exhale through his nose.
“What do you…oh! Oh, God no,” she said, immediately blushing, hiding her face in the crook of his neck and shoulder. 
“Don’t know which one’s worse though, now that you got ‘er thinkin’ about a tattoo,” he said easily, grinning the whole time.
“Hey, I didn’t do anything, she started asking about it on her own,” she insisted, poking his chest. 
“You encouraged it,” he argued, obviously teasing her.
She retaliated with a swat to his leg. “Shut up.” 
They settled closer together, Joel eventually pulling her into his lap, right where she belonged with both his arms around her. She cuddled into his chest, nuzzling his neck and leaving soft kisses along his jaw as he looked out over the expanse of trees. 
These quiet moments with her were quickly becoming his favorite activity, getting to hold her close, no expectations to talk, just enjoying each other’s proximity. She fit so perfectly against him, his missing piece he never knew he needed. These moments had also become the moments when he wanted to tell her the most, to say the words that weighed heavy on his tongue.
“You’re thinking very loudly tonight, is everything okay?” she asked softly, playing with the button on his shirt. 
“I just…I want you know th-....” he took a deep breath, meeting her eyes when she lifted her head in concern, “Baby girl, I love you.” 
He did it. He said it and it was out in the open now. She didn’t seem surprised when he said it, offering that sweet smile he loved so much and kissing him softly, slowly, holding his face in both her hands. 
“I know,” she said with a soft chuckle, “And I love you too,” she added, those simple words shattering all worry in his mind, his body igniting with the adrenaline of her reciprocation. 
He kissed her harder, holding her tight against his chest. “What’d you mean you know?” he asked against her ear, his lips trailing down her neck and across her shoulders.
“You talk in your sleep sometimes…”

hi! have a nice day! questions for amara
🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?
🍎 RED APPLE — where was your oc born? do they still live in/around their place of birth or do they live somewhere else? how do they feel about their birthplace?
🎂 BIRTHDAY CAKE — when is your oc's birthday? how old are they? what are their sun, moon, & rising signs (if known)? what about their tarot card, ruling planet, & ruling number (if known)? do they fit the typical traits of these sun, moon, & rising signs?
🤩 FACE WITH STARRY EYES — is your oc a planner, or are they more spontaneous in their actions?
from [this] ask game  thanks for stopping by o/ 
🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?
amara is very private with her musical taste! as a person who tends to get lost in nir music, nim listens to music in private rather than in public! (<- fr, give her a some headphones and a phone + she will not hear you until her playlist is complete <33) 
when it comes to music taste, amara tends to cluster around indie/alternative music with a rather eclectic combination of indie pop, rock, and post-punk sounds :D 
🍎 RED APPLE — where was your oc born? do they still live in/around their place of birth or do they live somewhere else? how do they feel about their birthplace?
!! okay so! amara is nigerian + was born in nigeria’s capitol: abuja!! (*note, her name is pronounced: AM-ara with the emphasize on the first syllable rather than the last syllable <33) nim does not live in nigeria anymore and spends most of nir time between italy + japan!! 
amara holds a special place in nir heart for nigeria. she lived there for quite some time before moving to italy + plans on visiting often but certain things make that a harder goal to accomplish than it should be like the mafia for example 
🎂 BIRTHDAY CAKE — when is your oc's birthday? how old are they? what are their sun, moon, & rising signs (if known)? what about their tarot card, ruling planet, & ruling number (if known)? do they fit the typical traits of these sun, moon, & rising signs?
:0 oh that’s a lot– 
okay, so. 
amara’s birthday is Jan. 8th!! as of now, nim’s 22 years old!! this makes her tarot cards: death + the emperor!! that’s actually pretty interesting because death and the emperor are very opposing cards. death is often symbolic of change, the future, the minimal, and the intimate while the emperor is the present, the status quo, the passionate, and the ceremonial. however, the both share 1 thing in common: they abide to a power higher than themselves. death works in favor of the natural order and a king draws power from whatever has put them on the throne. 
in a way, because they’re complete opposites yet share a goal, death and the emperor balance each other out creates prosperity without stagnation and peace without tyranny. which, tbh, i think fits amara incredibly well!! 
nir ruling planet is saturn (<- nim is a capricorn!!) which is associated with order, responsibility, and tasks <33 <- and also describes nim super well??? + her corresponding ruling number is 8!!
The ruling number is a lil mixed– since it corresponds with saturn it does share associates with order and responsibility. But it also corresponds with somber and depressed personalities which amara absolutely isn’t. Nim is practical and responsible but not somber and melancholic. 
As for moon + sun signs: capricorn (sun) + scorpio (moon) <- i won’t go too deep into it cuz >.> 
🤩 FACE WITH STARRY EYES — is your oc a planner, or are they more spontaneous in their actions?
amara is more planner than spontaneous but i can’t imagine nim is strictly a planner, y’know? nim very much prefers a good structure and will turn down fun but spontaneous events when nim already has a plan in place <33

i would like to know about your music industry au please i'm begging you
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE. LONG POST AHEAD.
ok so this is a. ranpoe-centric au because i. that is my whole identity. i only produce ranpoe content. so the main plot of the au revolves around ranpo and poe and their relationship as stars of the music industry under the spotlight
---
[BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE]
the organizations here are all labels / production agencies that the characters happen to work under depending on their affiliation, and the heads of the organizations are the producers that the characters are signed under (ie; ranpo is signed to fukuzawa's agency as a solo jpop idol)
a lot of the plot before My plot parallels the actual bsd plot up until the guild arc but converted into something music industry related (atsushi getting kidnapped and rescued 500 times in canon is turned into the agency and port mafia battling over who will sign indie singer atsushi to their label first in au,)
some characters sing solo, others are in a band. none of this is based off the actual band mayoi cards (though those are very cool and i love them to death)
---
[ORGANIZATIONS]
THE AGENCY: one of the most famous labels in japan, specializes in producing jpop/jrock/indie musicians. one of its famous associated bands is "moonlitdreams", a bedroom pop band made up of nakajima atsushi (lead singer), izumi kyouka (backing vocals / songwriter), and miyazawa kenji (instrumental)
THE PORT MAFIA: nicknamed the "Port Mafia" for its strict contract, suspected corruption, and harsh treatment of its stars. specializes in jrock / rap. its primary claim to fame is the creation of "Double Black", the jrock band that keeps topping the charts... despite dazai's departure from the band and the Port Mafia label as a whole.
THE GUILD: nicknamed the guild for its exclusivity, it takes in talented singers from all sorts of genres, from punk rock to... erm. religious ska. its publicity contract is notoriously strict, and being seen acting outside of it is enough to get you kicked off the label, no matter your talent. hailing from here is the pop punk band "The Living Dolls", made up of lucy maud montgomery (lead singer / guitarist) and mark twain (drummer / background vocals). formerly, edgar allen poe was their background vocalist and songwriter, but he left the band for unspecified reasons.
---
[IMPORTANT CHARACTERS TO THE AU]
pspspspp just ask if you want to know about other characters ;) real life artists that produce similar music to what i think they would produce in the au will be listed in italics after the description
edogawa ranpo - jpop / alternative / pop rock singer. his adoptive dad, fukuzawa, runs the Agency, so he's often accused of gaining fame due to nepotism. in truth, the Agency was created for him and his talents, so the nepotism charge is very unfounded. he's a musical prodigy, able to master almost every instrument he lays his fingers on, but the reason for his minor fame despite all of his talents is that he is .... awful at publicity. though he is a likeable public figure, he does not hesitate on being bluntly honest even if it will ruin his reputation. get this man away from talk shows.
(artists: polkadot stingray, necry talkie, kero kero bonito)
edgar allan poe - gothic rock / dark cabaret / pop punk singer. released solo albums along with being a part of "The Living Dolls" up until six years ago. his last public appearance was guest-starring on an international singing competition with ranpo, who openly criticized his work, and then he disappeared for good from the public eye by announcing an indefinite hiatus. just before his hiatus, he posted a twitter statement claiming that his break was "for mental health reasons", but it's widely speculated that it had something to do with the singing competition. despite his total radio silence, his music is incredibly popular among certain circles (goths and emos) and they anticipate any signs of him coming back from hiatus.
(artists: thoushaltnot, shayfer james, ludo)
lucy maud montgomery - pop punk singer and the lead of "The Living Dolls", she's most known for her crazy vocal range and tendency to produce awesome breakup songs (despite never having had a known relationship). she struggles a lot with the Guild publicity contract, having been put on probation multiple times for letting her temper get the best of her while interacting with the paparazzi. she desperately wants poe to come out of hiatus-- not even to rejoin the band, but simply because she's worried for him.
(artists: the regrettes, paramore, avril lavigne)
akiko yosano - pop singer who produces exclusively hit singles. redefining what it means to be a female singer in japan, she rejects the idol persona most singers take on and finds inspiration in american pop and a femme fatale image. all of her songs are incredibly #girlboss. good for her. ranpo's foster sister and best friend, she coaches him through most public interaction with the media so that he doesn't ruin his reputation permanently. she is ranpo's de facto manager / advisor.
(artists: beyonce, the spice girls, gwen stefani)
---
[PLOT]
hoping to cooperate with an american label, fukuzawa makes an agreement with fitzgerald to send one of his artists over to America to collaborate with a Guild artist. fitzgerald is actually not very keen on cooperating, because he plans on buying out the Agency anyways, but for pretense he agrees.
the artist that's sent over is none other than ranpo-- and the singer he is sent to collaborate with is none other than poe, who is really not happy to see him for some reason. ranpo and poe's first meeting was on a singing competition, like the voice, and long story short poe got embarrassed on live tv so hard by ranpo that he took a 6 year hiatus from music LMFAO. and now he is permanently bitter and also refuses to produce music. which is actually why fitz set the two of them up together anyways: he doesn't really want to cooperate w/ ranpo's label, so he steered ranpo towards the One artist he employs that doesn't make music anymore to be like ohhh nooo u aren't making songs what a shame. back to japan u go.
of course ranpo doesn't remember indirectly driving poe to his 6 yr hiatus, he just remembers giving ~constructive criticism~ and then. not seeing poe for the rest of the show ever. ehehehe. maybe he should've guessed but urrr. its a rough start on the collab because poe simultaneously refuses to talk to ranpo, work, or let ranpo work. they butt heads w/ working together because poe is so capricious and keeps fluctuating between "i dont want to do this" and "stop doing it yourself you'll mess up". even in terms of genre, they clash-- poe's goth ass lyrics don't mesh at all with the upbeat instrumental of ranpo's music.
because of this, they're constantly at each other's throats. even as ranpo repeatedly tells poe "i don't want to fight with you, i respect you as an artist", poe can only focus on the way ranpo insulted him 6 years ago and hates that ranpo is acting like it never happened n trying to be nice to him (not an act btw ranpo legitimately does not remember what happened). this all leads up to a huge argument where poe finally voices the actual problem he has w ranpo about the singing competition 6 yrs ago instead of being passive aggressive about it and ranpo is like "What. That's Not How I Remember It." and they start piecing together the misunderstandings.
ranpo apologizes which is really rare for him so 👍 and says that it's what he thinks now of poe that matters and despite all of the fights they've been through, ranpo admires poe and can see the other's talent for songwriting. this flips a switch in poe's brain in where he realizes that the reason he was so emotionally distraught after the singing competition incident was not only because of the public humiliation of getting called out on live tv, but also because he liked ranpo and ranpo's criticism felt like rejection which he physically could not deal with so he channeled that into being angry. he does not voice this because its a realization he just doesn't want to deal with so. repression ❤️❤️
over the course of working on the collab album together, they gradually grow a quiet respect for the other. they live together in poe's studio apartment because ranpo Could find a hotel but it's easier to work together when you're in close proximity. they learn the little things about each other that make it hard to really truly despise the other person -- ranpo's sweet tooth, poe's doting affection for his pet raccoon karl. their relationship becomes less strained and more amicable. ranpoe domestic era.
poe starts avidly writing songs of his own again, and he'll never admit it, but the muse for his newer songs is always ranpo. he's kind of Down Horrendous but he refuses to acknowledge it. not even when confronted with the literal love song he wrote about ranpo. ranpo of course is Very Aware that these songs are based off him but he never says anything about it because 1) he's already ruined their relationship once by humiliating poe. he will not do it Again by asking if these songs are about him. and 2) he enjoys looking over poe's lyric drafts because it feels like a personal love letter to him (which it basically is since this is the only way poe feels comfortable expressing his feelings about ranpo) and 3) he's been Down Horrendous for poe ever since they met 6 yrs ago (though his feelings faded a little when poe was being a passive aggressive dick to him) so its nice to see poe catch up.
they finish their album, and on the night of its official release, they get extremely drunk together in their own little celebration party. ranpo can hold his alcohol because all he ever drinks is fruity little cocktails that actually get you drunk so fast so he's built a Tolerance. poe however has an alcohol sensitivity and so he can get white girl wasted after only a glass of wine. so the situation is that ranpo is only a little drunk while poe is fucking GONE.
ranpo suggests that they take a little walk outside in a nearby park so as to sober up poe a little n while they sit on a bench, poe drunkenly kisses ranpo n confesses his feelings. ranpo can't help but get a little flustered but ultimately he is like "yes yes i know i like you too but you are going to be soo mad when you wake up and realize you've confessed while wasted so you can tell me again when you're sober". n poe goes YOU LIKE ME TOO???? why is he so surprised. after that revelation poe cannot keep his hands off of ranpo because now he knows hes Allowed to want ranpo in this way so even with ranpo halfheartedly resisting in consideration of sober poe's feelings, ranpo gives in to poe and ermm. long story short they get very caught up in each other to the point of being totally unaware that the paparazzi now has a photo of them making out at the door of poe's apartment.
the next morning, poe wakes up to a really bad hangover, his phone blowing up with panicked text messages from lucy and twain with links to different gossip articles + too many twitter notifications, 25 missed calls from fitzgerald, and a sleeping ranpo in his bed. and he completely panics. not only did he obviously make a Very Public move on ranpo, someone he would rather confide his feelings to in private, but he also violated fitzgerald's publicity contract And accidentally "confirmed" the rumors of him n ranpo being in a relationship so now his twitter mentions are clogged as FUCK.
so in his panic he books the next one-way flight to yokohama in ranpo's name, shakes ranpo awake, and tells him that he has to go back to japan. after all, the contract is over, they've released the album. no more reason for the other to stay. poe tries to distance himself from ranpo so it'll hurt less when he leaves. insists that everything was all business and that last night was nothing more than a slipup so really, ranpo should start packing. ranpo doesn't understand poe's panic bc he doesn't care at all about the paparazzi or publicity in general and instead gets a little mad that poe would call what they had "business" because even Before they kissed it had Never been business, not even once, so for poe to say that it was. hurts more than he'd like to admit.
they get into a big argument and it ends with ranpo slamming the door in poe's face n leaving with the plane ticket. once ranpo leaves, poe tries to defuse the situation on social media and appease fitzgerald but everything he does once ranpo is gone feels kinda hollow. technically poe won the argument by getting ranpo to fly back to japan where he'll probably forget the other but. does not feel like hes won at all. ranpo has a few days before his flight so he's staying at a hotel and all the while poe is agonizing over his decision and moping around. he decides he'd rather endure all the gossip and have ranpo by his side than not have ranpo in his life anymore, but he can't find a way to Tell ranpo this. lucy gets very tired of poe venting all of his relationship problems at her so on the morning of the flight she pulls up to poe's apartment in her red cadillac and is like "get in loser. we're chasing down your man before he leaves so you can get your shit together." poe has no choice but to get in the car. lucy has a metal bat and he is weak willed and missing ranpo.
they pull up to the airport and catch ranpo before he boards the flight. yosano has been doing her own work as a ranpoe wingman by delaying the flight and talking with ranpo about poe's point of view of this whole situation so now ranpo is less mad and more guilty that he lashed out while poe was in emotional distress. poe apologizes for his harsh words and says he doesn't want to force ranpo to stay with him, but he'd like to pursue a relationship outside of work even if it means losing his contract at the Guild. ranpo in turn also apologizes for losing his temper, and says that poe was right before. he kind of Has to return to yokohama now so he can't stay in america. poe visibly deflates at that before ranpo says "but. nobody said you couldn't follow me to yokohama." with a sly grin. they kiss in the middle of the airport and lucy + yosano are blissfully free from the roles of wingwomen for two stupid gay men. the enddd ❤️

GS4 vs AJ:AA - Episode 1, Part 1
Look, guys! I’m being productive again! Hooray, it feels exhausting just as I remember it did!
As done before, every post I make will contain differences between the source Japanese and localized English versions of the same game, as well as further details about them, up to the following “To be continued...” screens and eventually the ending credits. As always, there are so many ways the localization can dress up certain lines in the original script to make them into jokes or at least more colorful, so I’m not going to pick out every one. It would take us an eternity longer than my hiatuses to finish otherwise.
To think it took a freakin’ indie game that's like Mafia but with astronauts and tasks to bring me back to the Ace Attorney community and back to my blog’s roots. Is this what they mean by “Circle of Life”? All I know is that I’m constantly running around in circles, both metaphorically and literally.
--
> Court Lobby
<Kristoph> やれやれ。ずいぶんカタくなってる みたいだね。 You look tense, Justice. Wound up tight.
<Apollo> そ。そんなコトないです! カンゼンに大丈夫ですから、オレ! W-Wound up, sir? No! I'm loose! I'm fine!
<Kristoph> 声がウラ返ってるよ‥‥ まあ。ムリもないかな。 That screeching noise... Is that your voice? I suppose it's to be expected...
初めての法廷が、殺人事件とは。 まさしく“オドロキ”ってヤツだね。 Your first trial, and it's a homicide. I guess "Justice" doesn't start small, eh?
Enter Apollo's signature "I'm fine!" catchphrase, or as it's originally known, "Daijobu desu!"
In the third box, "ウラ返ってる" from 裏返る (uragaeru) in this context is translated fairly, though it specifically refers to a "crack in falsetto" kind of squeak or screech. (Yes, squeaky Apollo.) Now, it's interesting to note uragaeru in a different context can also mean "to double-cross". To be fair, it's also a common phrase, like being "betrayed" by your own cracking voice, but the foreshadowing power...
In the fourth box, yes, they changed the name puns to suit the localized name. Kirihito (Kristoph) is just saying what a "surprise" it is for his first trial to be a murder case.
>
<???> たしか、きみは‥‥ So, you're...
<Apollo> あ、ハイ! オレ、大丈夫ですッ! Fine! I-I'm fine!
<???> ああ‥‥“大丈夫くん”か。 Ah... Mr. Fine, is it?
<Apollo> え。 Uh.
<???> 変わった名前だとは覚えていた。 I did remember you having an odd name.
<Apollo> (さっそく、ゴカイされちまった) (Well, we're off to a great start.)
I'm just putting this here to assure everyone that Nick does first call him "Daijobu-kun".
>
<???> そろそろ時間だ。‥‥行こうか。 It's time. Shall we?
<Apollo> は、はいッ! Y-Yes, sir!
<Apollo> (‥‥そうさ。  今は、とにかく集中するんだ) (...OK. I need to focus.)
(オレの‥‥王泥喜 法介の、  初めての法廷に!) (First trial, here comes Justice!)
I want to comment on how catchy Apollo's other lesser-known catchphrase is. Poor Odoroki doesn't have anything as cool as this.
> Courtroom
<Kristoph> 弁護士は、依頼人の希望を最優先 させなければなりません。 A defense attorney must always cede to his client's wishes.
この王泥喜くんは、依頼人の ご指名なのですよ。 And my client specifically requested Mr. Justice.
<Judge> ふむう‥‥わかりませんな。 Well, of course he wants justice!
現在、最高の弁護士と言われる 牙琉 霧人(がりゅうきりひと)。 But to entrust his case to this greenhorn... Why?
それをさしおいて、 こんなワカモノがねえ‥‥ I do not exaggerate when I say that you're the best defense attorney in town, Mr. Gavin.
<Apollo> (だ、大丈夫。発声練習の量なら、  先生にも負けないさ!) (OK, so Gavin's got trial experience, fine. But does he have Chords of Steel!?)
I just love this line from Apollo. Perfect timing and delivery. Odoroki's line is good too, though comes off as a tad more innocent: "I-It's fine. When it comes to  vocal training, even Sensei can't beat me!" Though I have to say the image of Kristoph screaming during voice training is too funny to pass up.
> Enter Defendant
<Judge> まことにザンネンです。 This is truly an unfortunate turn of events.
ひさしぶりの対面が、 このようなカタチになるとは。 I'm sorry we had to meet again under these circumstances.
‥‥成歩堂 龍一 (なるほどうりゅういち)くん。 Long time no see, Mr. Wright.
<Phoenix> 忘れてほしいですね、 ムカシのことは。 Let's put the past behind us, shall we?
今のぼくは‥‥そう。 しがないピアニスト、ですから。 These days, I'm merely Phoenix Wright, piano player.
I may have mentioned it before, but I'll make a note here that the Hobohodo meme has its own version in the JP fandom: "ピアニート" (piani-to or pia-NEET), which is portmanteau of pianist and NEET, the most famous of Japanese government welfare programs for the unemployed. It's also slang for "hobo".
>
<Payne> これが、被害者の命を奪った凶器。 ‥‥グレープジュースのボトルです。 This is the weapon that took the victim's life. A bottle of grape juice.
彼のお気に入りで、 いつも飲んでいるようですな。 Grape juice is apparently our defendant's drink of choice.
Many of you already know, but just in case: The localizers never censored Nick's fave drink. It was the JP devs who had to work with such censors back home, but eventually they just kept it as a running gag to put non-alcoholic fruit juices in fancy wine bottles. It wasn't until SoJ when the devs could get away with featuring a bit of alcohol. Their previous game was slapped with a CERO-C (15+) due to graphic images, so Eshiro and co. were pleasantly surprised to see SoJ get the classic CERO-B (12+) again.
Not to mention, very expensive high-quality fancy fruit juices do exist in Japan and can cost way more than your usual middle-grade wines. Japan and their fancy fruit culture and all. (I forget exactly, but I recall there were plenty of group pictures of the devs on their blogs and Twitters over the years where someone had gotten them fancy bottles of fruit juice as Christmas gifts. The memes live on.)
> After 1st testimony, decline tutorial
<Apollo> 先生が出るにはおよびません! ここは、オレでじゅうぶんッ! No need for help here, sir! I think I've got this one covered!
<Kristoph> ‥‥“手下”みたいなセリフだね。 大丈夫ですか? I think you'd better do more than think. You know it, or you do not.
<Apollo> (大丈夫!   発声練習は積んできた!) (I'm fine! The Chords of Steel are ready for battle!)
The differences here are subtle enough that I hesitated on including this, but Kirihito straight-up calls out Odoroki: "Sensei, you won't need to step up here. I'm enough for this!" "...Sounds like something someone unreliable would say. Are you going to be fine?"
> Press 4th statement
<Judge> ふむう‥‥ Hmm...
ポーカーといえば、5枚のカードで “役”を作って勝負するゲーム。 As I recall, in poker you make five-card "hands".
たしかに、イカサマが 起こりやすいのでしょう。 I can see how it would be easy to cheat.
<Phoenix> フッ‥‥ “役”を作るゲーム、ねえ‥‥ Heh... Yes. A game of "hands".
<Apollo> ‥‥? ...?
Now that I find this dialogue again, it's even deeper than I'd ever thought. In both JP and EN, Phoenix's line works just as well as the other despite having different double entendres. In EN, he makes a pun between the poker hands and people's hands; while in JP, the term used is "yaku", which is normally used to refer to hands in a card/mahjong game, but in more general cases, it means "role" or "responsibility". Naturally, in this case, there are a lot of hands and roles being exchanged rather quickly.
This case is dang amazing and I regret forgetting so much of what made it spectacular.
> Press 5th statement
<Phoenix> 賭けていたのは、ただひとつ。 おのれの“プライド”だけだよ。 The only thing at stake in our game... was pride itself.
<Judge> ほほう。 なんだか、カッコイイですな! Ho ho! Well put, Mr. Wright.
私も“ポーカー”で ヒト勝負したくなって��ました。 I've got a mind to play a hand of poker myself...
<Judge> あなたの“有罪”を賭けてッ! The stakes: your fate!
<Apollo> (“ヒト勝負”感覚で  決められてたまるかッ!) (Um... Can we get back to the trial now?)
For once, I'm gonna go with Odoroki's line as the cooler one: "(As if we're going to decide this trial like a game of "life-or-death"!)"
> 1st witness, before testimony
<Olga> 逆居 雅香(さかいまさか) ‥‥と申します。 My name... is Olga Orly.
レストラン《ボルハチ》で ウエイトレス‥‥していますの。 I am employed as waitress in Borscht Bowl Club restaurant.
<Judge> しかし‥‥なぜ、カメラを? Then... why the camera?
<Olga> もちろん、《ボルハチ》ジマンの ボルシチもお運びいたします。 Of course, it is my pride to serve borscht that is naming restaurant.
でも、ワタシ。他にも、いろいろ サービスをいたしますのよ。 But I also perform -- how it is said? Other service.
Just making a note here on how well Olga's lines are written. They really make it obvious that she's "not a native speaker" (for now). While in EN, they just made her English a little broken, in JP, she speaks in a very stiff and formal Japanese, as she is a waitress, but also on the occasion can sound a little off to a native speaker without being broken, per se. She also has a distinct "watashi" among a few other common words that are written in katakana to show a sort of accent.
>
<Payne> さて、証人。 事件当時は、どこに‥‥? Now, witness. Where were you at the time of the murder?
<Olga> ワタシ、あの部屋にいたんです。 ‥‥《ナラズモの間》。 I was in room. The Hydeout, we call it.
<Apollo> “ならずものま”? Excuse me? The Hydeout?
<Olga> 伝説のギャング“ナラズモ”が タイホされたというお部屋。 It is room where famous gangster "Badgai" was arrested.
‥‥事件があった小部屋ですの。 Is room where murder took place.
<Apollo> なんだってェェェ! Whaaaaat!?
<Olga> ‥‥そのビックリしたカオ、 ステキです。 Your look of utter surprise... It is lovely.
あとで法廷の前に 張り出しておきますので‥‥ I will post by courtroom door later for you!
ほしい写真の番号を、みなさま お書きくださいね。 Dah, dah, photos will be numbered, and you will write which ones you want copy of.
Okay, everyone knows how bad/obvious/cringe the name puns can be in Khura'in or certain ones from AAI, but please, does anyone not remember "Badgai" here? (Tbf, I forgot too, so I'm not one to talk...)
Btw, his original name is "Narazumo", literally "ruffian", and it's completely in katakana, which makes me think it's a codename or alias. She also specifies that he was a "gangster", not yakuza as we'd assume. Japanese gangs are a bit closer to gangs that we know of in the West, especially that they're more known for foreign influence to their styles than the much more traditional yakuza.
Also, I'm disappointed there was no Odoroki pun here. Sure, she doesn't know him, so it wouldn't make sense, but still a missed opportunity. Also also, she actually talks to the rest of the court when she says "you", so she's selling photos of Apollo's freakout to everyone. Classy...
> 1st Witness Testimony, press 3rd statement
<Apollo> “ロケット”‥‥? His "locket"...?
<Olga> あのお客さまにとっては 大切な“お守り”のようでした。 I believe it was good-luck charm, dah?
何度か握りしめながら、 勝負をされていましたから。 He gripped it many times as he played that night.
<Judge> なるほど‥‥大空へ飛び立つ チカラがみなぎるのでしょう。 Yes, he must have felt as though it might carry him to the moon and the stars!
なにしろ《ロケット》ですからな。 Though if it were small enough to fit around his neck, it wouldn't have much lift...
<Apollo> ‥‥あの。ちなみに “ロケット”というのは‥‥ Um... The defense would like a clarification: this is a locket we're talking about?
写真を入れたペンダントのコト、 なんですけどね。 I mean, a pendant with a picture in it, right? Not a "rocket"?
<Judge> 知ってます! Of course! I knew that!
ロケットのカタチをした アレでしょう。 It was probably a pendant shaped like a rocket. That's why she called it that.
<Apollo> ちがいますよ! カタチはカンケイないんです No, a locket's a locket! It doesn't matter what shape it is!
<Kristoph> ‥‥深追いしてはいけない。 それが、社会のルールです。 It's considered bad form to poke fun at the hard-of- hearing in our society.
<Apollo> (モヤモヤするなあ) (Hard of hearing, or hard of understanding?)
This entire conversation is just a joke on how "locket" and "rocket" are written the same way in Japanese, and I'm surprised how well it still works in English.
To clarify, Kirihito's line at the end is a bit different: "...Refraining from pursuing a line too far is a well-known rule in our society." "(Doesn't make me feel any better.)"
> After 1st Present, just before new statement added
<Apollo> (ヤレヤレ‥‥  慎重すぎるんだよな、先生は) (There's such a thing as thinking too much...)
(イシバシを叩いて  コワすタイプ?) (This horse is dead, let's stop beating it!)
<Kristoph> 聞こえてますよ、オドロキくん。 There's such a thing as thinking aloud too much, too.
It's conversations like this that make me wonder if characters can actually hear what the MC is saying/whispering or if they're breaking the 4th wall to hear their thoughts. Here, it's even more ambiguous in JP than the usual between Nick and Maya in prior games. Or are they suggesting that even when Apollo is thinking, he's still loud?
> After 2nd Witness Testimony, before cross-exam
<Judge> なるほど‥‥ Ah, how many times have I heard these words:
『むしゃくしゃしてやった。  今は後悔している』‥‥ "I done it in a fit of anger, Yer Honor, and now I regret what I done".
‥‥の、パターンですな。 ...A common tale, but true.
<Apollo> (成歩堂さんは、ハッキリ言った。  『7年間、負けたことがない』) (Methinks the judge watches too many old court movies.)
(‥‥この証言には、ゼッタイ  “何か”あるはずだ!) (Mr. Wright said he hasn't lost in seven years, so this testimony must be wrong!)
I don't usually include entries for examples where the localizers dress up the text from the original, but this one here really bugs me. I'm not sure if it's a reference to some classic film or just a tip of the hat to classic American court drama movies in general.
If someone could help me pinpoint this one, please do.
> Press 2nd statement, press further
<Apollo> チップについて、くわしく 話していただけますか? Maybe you could explain a bit about these "chips"?
<Olga> そ。そう言われましても‥‥ E-Explain? What is there to be explained?
<Objection!>
<Payne> チップはチップです。 Poker chips are poker chips.
いつまで待っても‥‥ キップにはなりませんぞ! They're not fish and chips, not a chip off the old block, not a motorcycle cop, not a...
Okay, the "motorcycle cop" bit got me. I swear this was a popculture reference (was it a song? It sounds so familiar), but I don't remember exactly where it was from! Someone plz help.
As for the original script, Auchi makes a silly pun. "[Poker] chips are [poker] chips. No matter how long you wait... they won't become tickets!" (chips = chippu, ticket = kippu)
>
<Apollo> ‥‥はあ。 ...Thanks.
(セッカクだ。  なにか聞かないとソンだな) (Now that I've pressed her I'd better ask something...)
たとえば‥‥そのチップ。 “円”ですか? “ドル”ですか? What are these chips worth? Are they in dollars? Or rubles, even?
<Olga> ‥‥あの。 先ほども申しましたけれど‥‥ ...Nyet. As I have been saying before, it was game, not gambling.
ギャンブルでは ございませんでしたから‥‥ Hard perhaps for capitalist to understand.
<Olga> “1000点”と “100点”の2種類。 Two types of chip: 100 points chip and 1,000 points chip.
おカネではございませんの。 It is not money, dah.
<Kristoph> ‥‥オドロキくん。 ...Justice.
<Apollo> はいッ! Sir!
<Kristoph> 今の証言‥‥ ちょっと、おもしろいですね。 Don't you find her comment... interesting?
<Apollo> え‥‥ In more ways than one, sir.
<Kristoph> 私ならば‥‥そう。 証言に加えていただくところですが。 I'd have it added to her testimony, myself.
As funny as that capitalist line is, it's not found in the source, sorry, guys. Her text in Japanese is very formal, so it takes an extra box just to complete her sentence.
Also, worth to note that Odoroki here mentions yen and dollars, but not rubles, despite the restaurant being Russian-themed. Whether it's writer oversight or just Odoroki being uncultured will remain a mystery.
Lastly, Apollo's last line here makes him seem quite confident, but in the original, he seems just as confused as ever. This is made clearer when Apollo later presses the new statement.
> Press new statement
<Apollo> あの。小さい方が100点、 大きい方が1000点‥‥ Um. The small ones are 100, and the big ones 1,000...
で、いいんですよね。やっぱり。 Uh? Right? Right. Of course.
<Payne> フン!  聞くまでもないでしょう。 Hah! Don't waste our time!
<Apollo> はあ‥‥ *sigh*
‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥ ...
<Judge> 終わりですか? それで。 Is that all?
<Apollo> ええ、まあ。 Um... Yeah. *gulp*
(くそ。牙琉先生のせいで  ハジをかいちまったぞ‥‥) (Great. Mr. Gavin made me stop her, and now I'm the one who looks dumb.)
<Kristoph> オドロキくん。 Oh, Justice?
<Kristoph> 私にハジをかかせないで もらえますか? Please try not to embarrass me like that.
<Apollo> え! オレがですか! Huh? Who? Me!?
The subtleties of this joke conversation were lost in translation. After Apollo wastes time with that question, he grumbles to himself: "(Damn. Thanks to Garyu-sensei, I've made a fool of myself.)" "Odoroki-kun. Would you please not pin this embarassment on me?" "Huh! Me!?"
> After Present, select "Number of chips"
<Apollo> おかしいのは、チップの枚数‥‥ ですよね、先生? The odd thing here is the number of chips... Right, Mr. Gavin?
<Kristoph> ‥‥なぜ、私に? ...Why are you asking me?
<Apollo> その。念のため、というか! Uh... Just in case?
<Kristoph> ‥‥オドロキくん。 もう少し、キチンと考えましょう。 Justice... It's your case I'm concerned about.
チップなら、写真を見れば すべて、写っています。 If you're wondering about the chips, just look at the photograph. It's all there.
老眼の裁判長さんでも カンタンに数えられますよ。 Even our judge with his failing eyesight could count them.
<Apollo> (‥‥あの裁判長なら、それでも  まちがえるような気がする‥‥) (That's not the only thing failing the judge.)
Damn, what a burn. Odoroki in the OG script simply went: "(...Knowing this judge, he could get even that wrong...)" which is a fair effort, but not a wildfire level of damage.
> 3rd Witness Testimony, press 4th
<Apollo> 口論の内容は、おぼえてますか? Do you recall what the men were arguing about?
<Olga> そうですね。たしか‥‥ Dah, I believe so...
被害者サマが���イカサマだッ!』と 叫びましたの。それに対して‥‥ The victim, he shouts, "you are cheater!" and then...
“異議がある”というようなコトを 被告人さまが‥‥ ...the defendant shouts something like, "I have objection!"
<Payne> ‥‥出ましたな。 おトクイの《異議あり!》が。 Shouting objection, eh? Old habits are hard to break!
まったく‥‥ハッタリづくしの 人生ですからな。被告人は。 First he bluffed his way through the courtroom, now he bluffs his way through life!
<Objection!>
<Apollo> しかし! 勝負の結果は、 成歩堂さんが“負けている”! However! Mr. Wright lost the hand!
むしろ、アヤシイのは、 勝った被害者・浦伏さんでしょう! That seems to cast the shadow of doubt on Mr. Smith!
<Olga> “イカサマをやった上、  勝負にも負けた”‥‥ Humiliation from losing even when cheating...
そのクツジョクが、被告人の方の ココロに、火をつけたのですの。 That is what set fire to defendant's heart!
<Judge> ‥‥そして、火のついた 被告人は、どうしたのですかな? So what did the flaming defendant do next?
Oh my God, as soon as I saw that "異議がある" (igi ga aru) my mind flashed back to those ridiculous Google Translated trailers of Gyakuten Saiban & Kenji on Nico Douga. Imagine if the devs at the time decided to play with Google Translate to see how "異議あり!" would look after switching it from Japanese to English and back. It would be one of the biggest brain plays by a game developer ever... which probably means it wasn't how it went, but it's fun to think about.
Anyway, I also like this snippet of dialogue for the judge's "flaming defendant", clearly alluding to "Phoenix" Wright. In JP, the bit about setting fire to his heart is just a common idiom in the first place, but who knows? “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney” had been selling fast in the West, so they could have been inspired.
> After Present, point out on the cards, examine victim's hand
<Apollo> 裁判長! 見てください! 被害者のカードには、1枚‥‥ Your Honor! Look at this! One of the victim's cards...
ウラの色がちがうカードが まぎれこんでいますッ! The back is a different color!
<Payne> え‥‥ええええッ! Eh...? Ehhhhhh!?
<Olga> そ。そんなバカなッ! Th-That's impossible!
アタシがシカケたのは、 成歩堂のほうなのに‥‥ But I put that card in Wright's hand...
あッ! Ack!
<Kristoph> ‥‥今、なんと言いましたか、証人。 ...What was that, Ms. Orly?
<Olga> い‥‥いえ‥‥その。 アタシ‥‥わ、私は、ええと‥‥ No... Ny-Nyet! Er, I merely said, eh... Dah, I have, eek!
It's at this point when Olga's cover is blown, and in JP, it's more obvious because she stammers between using "atashi" vs "watashi". It's not very common to hear beginner Japanese students refer to themselves as the cutesy "atashi", though one who's a bit more well versed in the language or in anime may pick up on it.
> After Phoenix takes over the court, select when the cards were swapped, select "Olga Orly" who swapped them
<Phoenix> たしかに、あのゲームでは赤・青の 2種類のカードを使っていた。 Mixing a card from the wrong deck... when the backs are different colors?
しかし‥‥逆居 雅香は、 カードを配っていた張本人。 Remember that you're talking about Olga Orly... She was the dealer.
‥‥そんなミスを すると思うかい? Do you really think she would make such a novice mistake?
<Apollo> (まあ‥‥オレでも  まちがわないだろうな) (Actually, I have trouble imagining even the judge making that mistake.)
This is another case of the localizers dressing it up. Odoroki says here: "(Well... even I wouldn't make such a mistake.)" as if implying that he's the lowest common denominator here, haha!
> Back to Court Lobby
<Phoenix> 人間の思考・感情というものは ‥‥かならず。 Try as they might to conceal it, everyone reveals their true thoughts in the end.
身体から“情報”として 発信されている。 Their body language can become a valuable source of information.
<Apollo> そ。そんなバカな‥‥ You're kidding!
<Phoenix> たとえば。あの証人‥‥ 逆居 雅香を思い出してごらん。 That witness, for instance, Ms. Orly.
<Phoenix> 彼女は、ある証言をするとき‥‥ かならず“首筋をさする”。 She would touch the back of her neck during certain parts of her testimony.
‥‥気がついていたかい? Did you notice?
<Apollo> い。いえ‥‥ (それどころじゃないよ、フツー) Uh... No. (C'mon, who'd notice that!?)
<Phoenix> “クセ”“コトバ”‥‥ それらが発する情報を読み解くこと。 Words, habits, twitches... It's all information for the reading.
それが、勝負に勝つ “鉄則”だよ、オドロキくん。 That's the secret to winning, Apollo.
まあ‥‥ぼくも“ある人物”に 教わったんだけどね。 Someone taught me, and now, I pass the secret on to you.
It's this quiet moment between the two of them that really parallels with how Mia used to talk with Phoenix, and it's beautifully poetic. And I'd like to note that even Phoenix's speech pattern throughout this convo is quite reminiscent of how Mia talked, but with a bit of Phoenix's own style. Though in that last line, he could possibly have meant Mia, but more likely meant a certain someone with a similar power to Apollo. Ya'll know who I mean, (W)right?
>
<Phoenix> ああ。それから、もうひとつ。 今回の事件だけどね。 Ah, almost forgot. One more thing. About this case...
ぼくはまだ、誰にも “本当のコト”を話してないんだよ。 You should know, I haven't told the truth to anyone yet.
<Apollo> えええええッ! (や、やっぱり‥‥) Whaaaaaaaa--!? (I knew it!)
<Phoenix> もちろん、“理由”がある。 これからアキラカになるだろう。 I have my reasons, of course. All shall be revealed.
そして、ぼくの作戦には‥‥ きみが必要なんだよ。 And Apollo... I need you to be there, defending me.
きみの“能力”が、ね。 I need your power.
<Apollo> オレの、のうりょく‥‥ (声のデカさ、か‥‥?) My, um, power? (I had no idea my Chords of Steel were that special...)
The translation here is close enough, really, but Odoroki specifically describes it as the "intensity" of his voice and it's only the best answer.
--
Welp, I guess it’s back to the drafting board again and I may make this out as a daily or every-other-daily upload. We’ll see. I assure you, you won’t be waiting until next month, though!

Illinois and a 30’s/40’s Indiana!
Illinois got the butterfly in the 20’s, as tattoos were gaining popularity with the flapper type crowd, which she was very active in. The French tattoo was more recent as an homage to her roots. The card is from a famous death in NY’s mafia. She thought it was a rather poetic death.
Indiana only has the one cross on her wrist. When Illinois got involved in the mob she convinced Indiana to help her. To watch her back, as Illinois put it. So Indy got the cross tattoo for a little bit of hope.

listen up 10s a 4 is speaking! shdlaskhd what’s up sluts i’m cherry, i’m 21, use she/her pronouns and live in PST! this is mischa, princess of the russian mafia. she wears black lipstick, is massive scammer, laughs at videos of people falling down the stairs. here is a shorter sparknotes version of her bio and some fun and fresh headcannons
please enjoy this gif of mischa cosplaying indie xoxo
Tumblr media
SPARKNOTES BIO! 
skeleton: the career criminal
name: mischa dostoyevsky ( formally xia han)
age: 25
gender: female
pronouns: she/her
fc: natasha liu bordizzo
born as xia to a dirt poor family of literal SCAM artists. we luv a scamily babey! her parents basically sold fraudulent anti-aging serum to dumb, white new york tourists everyday ( with the added bonus of her older brother dressed up like an OLD ASS MAN doing cartwheels n backflips like woooow this stuff really works! ) her job was basically sneaking through the crowd of people while they were distracted and pick-pocketing their money, valuables, shiny shit etc.  
that white savior guilt money was paying the bills until one of the karens they conned got hives from the allergic reaction to the red food dye they used in the fake serum and her brothers literal Old Man disguise flew off like 90s rapper fly away pants when it was windy as fuck one day so basically The Authorities Have Been Called Luv, the police showed up and xia didn’t know what to do bc she was a kid so she just BOLTED AND RAN ... does not know what happened to her family to this day
grew up on the street, continued the family business of being a fcking scammer and basically bought tampons by telling power walking, baby backpacking ladies that she was gonna have to feed little timmy cockroaches if they didn’t pay off, slept with crooked stock brokers, seduced old guys, cleaned out their apartments, stole all their money, jewels, watches, credit cards, priceless antiques -- THE WORLD WAS HER SUGAR DADDI BB
all of this changed on day when she making her nightly run by the alibi, a bar she called Dumb Rich Guy Bar and saw a weird old guy come out looooaded with what looked expensive shit,  but she really wanted his pocketwatch which from her experience was mad expensive. so she did her lil routine and THOUGHT she stole the watch but LOL SPIDERMAN MEME, he stole the watch back and the ring she was wearing AND HIS BODY GUARD HAD A GUN PLACED ON HER. MMM WHATCHA SAY
so turns out the weird old guy she tried to steal from was VLADIMIR DOSTOYEVSKY!!!! THE HEAD OF THE RUSSIAN FUCKING MAFIA. yiiiiikes! lmao she was like cool im gonna die but he was like hold up, u chose the pocket watch, the only real and valuable thing i was wearing ... i like u ur smart u have fire, u remind me of my dead wife  YOU WILL BE MY SUCCESSOR ur name is now mischa for my unborn son and i will teach u the ropes
so there is no more xia, only mischa, basically adopted by vladimir who she calls dad/nana and who calls her rabbit as a nickname (they play monopoly every night and VLAD CHEATS EVERY TIME BRO). she is the only girl in the bratva aka The Brotherhood which is what the russian mafia is called. shes kind of their wendy. shes worshipped outwardly but theres probably a lot of people that hate her ... which leads me to ........PAPA DYING! BIG RIP OG PAPA! he was poisoned at dinner and people say it was the italians but mischa is sure it was an inside job
bc of vlad dying *pour one out for vladdy daddy* mischa is head of the bratva aka russian mafia they call her PAPA bc thats how people refer to the mob boss SO SDHLLKDSH
ALSO PLOT TWIST! originally the plate that killed her dad was the plate she was given but he switched with her bc his piece of chicken was bigger and he wanted her to have it :((((( SO THE POISON PLATE WAS HER PLATE SO SOMEONE WAS TRYNA KILL HER DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN
ok here are HCS they are from the bottom of my app xx
nicknames include who’s your papa, big papa and daddy purely because it’s iconic. but also she is probably that gifset where rihanna is talking abt how shes a bad bitch w top energy but is a massive bottom ahdlaks
mischa i think has to look a certain way of looking when dealing w the mob ( sort of girl boss, designer clothes, femme fatale ) but i think she is relatively unlady-like and prefers ratty jeans, plaid skirts, flannels, black combat boots, messy ponytails and the like when she’s relaxing. reminds her of life before.
practices makeup on dmitri and boris (her body guards) who complain a lot but also love her xoxo 
owns a very big fluffy, luxurious cat named perogi, he’s her son, a gift from dear old dad. 
has a pretty severe drinking problem ( vodka on the rocks is the poison ) after her father died and sleeps with a gun ( although i think she's better with a knife )
thus can drink you under the table also swears like an old sailor man ( is working on it, the whole mob sighs when she calls japanese businessmen idiot douche canoe fuckbags to their faces during monthly debt collections )
mischa can speak 5 languages in order to speak to people all over the world: madarin ( from her childhood ), english, russian ( mob ), spanish and french. 
pansexual queen and i want to say scorpio 
she’s grateful obviously to папа doing more off the grid, low quality criminal stuff without supervision because she is a truant, tramp, scam artist cat burglar klepto at heart <3
cinnamon roll meme: looks like she could kill you and would probably kill you
so i want to say she probably met the star of the show doing something where she snuck out at night with her bodyguards not knowing, wore her civilian clothes, blended in kept her head down because she missed freedom and accidentally met them out there like that under a pseudonym to hide her mafia life/continued to sneak out to see them like that before being exposed. very double life stuff angsty secret mafia princess stuff. we love hannah mon-mafia.
scared her parents will resurface/past will resurface ( supposedly папа bribed the police but . . . karma is a bitch )
has A LOT of suitors meant to strengthen The Empire and bridge conflicts between mobs but cares little, them: 💕, her: hocks a loogie and wipes on pants … she SUCSKSSKSS
has burped at important business dinners before and simultaneously has brought massive mafiosos to their knees. literally will have your dick cut off if you say something misogynistic, racist or something about her father :) she has a collection. ( its a big collection, but still quite little if you know what i mean )
rumored to have killed a man with the sharp end of her louboutin.
has a slight accent just from being surrounded by it constantly and word switches
smells like cinnamon and scraped knees

Do-It-Yourself: Interview with Eric Emanon
Tumblr media
This week I talked to the leader of the Indy Card Mafia, Eric Emanon. After finding out we have a mutual love for punk rock, I knew I had to hit this guy up! I’m not great at this intro stuff let’s dive in.
Jonah: How did pro wrestling come into your life?
Eric:  “When I was a kid, me and my papa watched it at his house when we were on vacation in the late 1990's. From then on, I was hooked. Every week I watched as much as I could with my brother and parents. Sometimes even falling asleep on the living room floor just waiting for the end of the show.”
Who were your guys when you were growing up and how did they inspire how you wrestle?
“The Hardy’s. I grew up and loved tag team wrestling, shocker there. [Laughs] Jeff Hardy was my absolute favorite with Chris Jericho and Stone Cold Steve Austin being a very close second and third. Hardy taught me no risk was too big to take. Not even if it meant flying off of a 20 foot ladder. If it was something that may put your name in the record book as a champion, take that leap of faith. Jericho, he's the guy I always wanted to be on the mic. Ruthless and unpredictable. Anytime he had a mic in his hand, you knew we were about to hear some magic. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Now, he was the one who helped me into the mindset of D.T.A.. [Don't. Trust. Anyone.] He was the anti-authority figure. He showed me that you could walk in to work and one day tell your boss, "Hey, I've had enough of your shit." Flip him the bird and leave.”
You talk a lot about being a punk rock kid. What about punk rock is it that you love and is there a correlation to your wrestling life?
“I've always loved the DIY lifestyle of it. It started with the music, The Misfits, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys just to name a few. Then, when I would go to local punk shows as a kid I just felt at home with the culture and the dirty gritty feel. For the first time in my life, I felt like I had a true identity. There absolutely is a correlation between the two. What you see in the ring is what you see in real life.”
Just curious, who are some of your favorite punk bands?
“Against Me, is probably my favorite in recent years. I've seen them a bunch live and the shows are always so fucking wild. I finally got my wife to go to an Against Me show and she had her mind blown.”
Tell me about the Indy card mafia and how that started.
“Started as a joke, believe it or not. Curt Hawkins was doing the #midcardmafia. I jokingly posted back on Twitter ‘How about showing some love for the indie guys. #IndyCardMafia’ Then I met Tommy (Thomas Brewington), my best friend, road warrior, tag partner and better half. [Laughs] We found out after a few times talking that we had A LOT in common. Music, wrestling, life goals. Stuff like that. I asked him if he wanted to start something with me. Something to bring the brotherhood back into pro wrestling. He said yeah. And I mean, it's what I always wanted in this business. To be part of a brotherhood. My trainers and all the vets around always talked about how it used to be. That's what I wanted. Plus I was sick of being bullshitted by people. I wanted to surround myself with like-minded people who would push me. People who don't use ‘good job’ as a crutch. And that's what we did.”
I love that idea. New school vibe to an old school idea.  
“For sure. We don't bullshit each other. The only way we get better is by being honest with each other on how we can improve.”
What inspires you to keep doing what you love even with the struggles it may come with?  
“At first it was the love I had for the sport. When I was training in 2003, I was still a kid, you know? In 2008 when I debuted at the first indie company I worked for moving into 2009 it became about the money. That's when I got a taste of what money could be made in the business. But chasing the money made me miserable. I wanted to quit and I was only ever being put in spots to get my ass kicked until around late 2010. Move forward to 2013/2014 when I realized I could love the business, make money and be happy. Now here we are in 2018. My two kids love seeing me wrestle. My wife loves it. Me and my friends get to travel all over the place and wrestle in front of some of the coolest fans.”.
I've heard your podcast with Tommy a few weeks ago and you mentioned becoming sober. How’s that going? What benefits are you finding from being sober?
“Officially hit the 6-month mark on the 25th. It has been so hard, for real, but thankfully it is getting easier. The smell of alcohol actually repulses me now, which is shocking. But health-wise, I feel great. I lost weight, I was happier, felt less bloated, my motivation to do things got better and I felt like I had control of my life for the first time since I was 21.”
If you could give one piece of life-changing advice to someone who’s fresh in the business, what would it be?
“I'll tell you the same bit of advice that helps me to this day. Sit down with names and vets, talk, take everything in like a sponge but take everything like a grain of salt. Feedback sucks sometimes, but you have to suck to get better. And if someone is taking the time to give you advice it's because they see something in you and want to push you to that next level. Don't just dismiss them because people told you to.”
Is there anyone you want to shout out who helped you with feedback and advice throughout the years? 
“Thomas Brewington was a big factor in the past 4 years of my career. Terrell Kenneth. Cassius Cutcher. There are a lot more, but these are the three who constantly push me from a workers standpoint. There are others who will try and claim my successes as theirs, but fuck them. [Laughs]”
What are your favorite promotions you’ve worked for and who do you aspire to work for one day?
“A.W.E (Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment) in Atlanta, Georgia. Project Wrestling. I.W.F (International Wrestling Federation) in Brockport, NY. N.O.W (Northwest Ohio Wrestling) in Toledo, Ohio. The Sanctuary in Hazelton, PA. These spots have all provided me with amazing moments, matches and experiences. As for places I want to work.. I want to work everywhere.. Anywhere that would have me. Japan, Australia, Europe, the UK, Canada, I want to go everywhere and fight everyone. [Laughs]”
Make sure to check out Eric Emanon on YouTube for clips of matches and Fortnite play here.

Zurich Openair 2022 – A Magnanimous Swiss Music Festival
Five days of exciting electronic and rock music, as well as a fascinating festival site with a wide choice of food and entertainment outlets, will make Zurich OpenAir 2022 a memorable experience for music fans.
Being so close to the airport makes it a great destination for out-of-town tourists, and the proximity to the city centre makes it possible to combine a visit to the festival with a shopping trip to the heart of Zurich.
Official Dates of the Event – 23rd to 27th August 2022
Planning to grab a visa for Switzerland so that you can take part in this wonderful festival? Before you do that, read this brief guide about Zurich Open Air to make your travel plans even more exciting!
Tumblr media
What makes Zurich OpenAir 2022 Popular?
Zürich Open Air 2022 is an exciting multi-genre festival in Switzerland that has quickly become one of Switzerland's most renowned music festivals for featuring a wide variety of internationally acclaimed artists from rock, indie, pop, electronic, and hip hop.
Recent editions of the festival in Switzerland's most populous city have featured performances by world-famous artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, and Swedish House Mafia, to name just a few of the contemporary icons and upstarts who have graced its stages.
With Martin Garrix, Kygo and Kings of Leon joining Arctic Monkeys as headliners for the festival's tenth edition in 2022, the announcement of the festival's first headliners has been made.
The three stages at Zürich Open-air 2022 are carefully organised to avoid significant artist overlap, providing the festival's 50,000 attendees with a chance to hear both established and up-and-coming performers.
There is an impressive array of musical acts to enjoy, as well as performance art, circus acts, and food from all over the world. The calibre of the performers, though, makes it unlikely that you'll be able to tear yourself away from the front of the stage for very long.
