i genuinely think that enoch drebber’s character design is one of the most beautiful and interesting designs in the entire great ace attorney series. i could also even go to the extent of the entire aa series as a whole.

when i say “beautiful” i don’t particularly mean “he’s sexy/attractive” but in a sense that it reflects his inner own conflicts and tragedies and maybe even lack of humanity left in him. if you compare both of his designs (both past and present) the black/white symbolism is so obviously evident. i see both of these designs almost like an analogy of both yin and yang.

the black in the middle of the white represents the regret and sorrow, including the fraudulent actions he has committed in the past. he’s won a prestigious award and was likely praised for his knowledge in invention despite his poor status. but was he really a pure man?

the white in the middle of the black is almost like his regret and even remorse for his actions committed in the expedition. behind this facade he put on for years he genuinely did not think that albert was truly untalented and was only blinded by his own hatred and disdained morals.

if we look at him in the present, one of the most prominent aspects of his design is his paleness and rather grim choice of clothing. it makes him look almost like a ghost of what he used to be, with his dark hair and eyes having been turned into white. you do not often see anyone dress in all black in victorian london either, it feels like that he’s in grief of having been stripped of all of his aspirations and being anything greater. he reflects his own misfortune and misery. the darkness under his eyes symbolizes his own depression and mistakes.

after losing his own humanity and spiraling to his lowest point he could only use his own once highly regarded skill, the only thing he didn’t lose, for the worst and make these fake deadly machines as a way to reflect his own hatred towards the community of scotland yard. while we don’t know anything about his mechanical hand i feel as if it symbolizes this.

his animations are very unique and not like any tgaa character’s at all… i notice that the leather straps on his abdomen are so similar looking to circuits but also look so much like the rib cage of a human being. despite losing his sense of self and going mad over making these fake inventions out of hate there is still something human-like and organic in his appearance.

as a note, one thing i did find curious is his asymmetry, normally asymmetry in most designs are not executed well but in enoch’s design i feel as if it just… works.

in conclusion i really do feel that his physical appearance really does reflect his own inner turmoil and himself as a character. and this macabre symbolism is what makes me like him so much in general. it makes him stand out more than any other ace attorney character and i really, really resonate with it. this is what i meant by his design being so melancholically beautiful and symbolic.

i don’t know. thanks for reading. this is just coming from some goth guy that likes to think too much about things.

WILL expound upon this later but it has to be said. I have to say my truth.

Ghost is a rizzless LOSER and he does NOT charm women. He walks into the club and he’s lucky if the nearest five people take one look at his mask and don’t jet right outta there. No charm. No rizz. NONE.

just finished listening to the attic liveshow and wow i really liked that!! it felt very reminiscent of old night vale to me, nothing too town-shattering but more personal (even if it did technically affect most people in town). my favourite line i think, and this is slight spoilers, was “abby and i would sit there in the dark holding hands, not knowing what game was being played, knowing only that we were losing”. like OUCH that hit me hard, especially because i’m a sucker for anything related to cecil and abby and their past (bc who isn’t) so anytime i hear smth like that i just want to cry and give their younger selves the biggest hug :((

other than that my favourite part i think was cecil and disparition just swapping places LMAO that was hilarious to me. it also made me wish, not for the first time, the live shows were recorded so i could see what’s going on. i’ve seen photos people have taken and i wish i could’ve also seen what was being shown on the screens and also cecil being silly on the piano. i’m sure there’s a practical reason it’s only audio recordings but as someone who is likely never going to see a night vale show live (australian city that nobody visits sigh) idk it would be nice to actually watch a visual live show

but yes anyways 10/10 live show loved it and we got to hear deb TWICE so that’s always a win

I am super fucking pissed about Wee John in this last episode.

Why. The. Fuck. Was. He. Not. Included. AT. ALL. During. The. Escape??????????

Legitimately, where the fuck was he? I was fuming for a lot of that because he's my favorite character, so I was looking for him. While everyone was stripping the English of their uniforms and getting dressed up (at least partially) in disguise, he is the only character not included.

They make a point about Fang not getting a proper shirt, which already pissed me off enough, that he had to wear what was essentially prison stripes while everyone else was in uniform, but Wee John wasn't even there. He wasn't in the raid. He wasn't in the run down the beach.

He just wasn't even fucking there. And if it was something Kristian decided he didn't want to worry about hurting himself over, particularly looking out for his back and knees, I understand not asking him to run over and over again for reshoots. But the fact that he didn't even get dressed with them... and that's the second time he's been excluded from a plan apparently due to his size (remember that he didn't get to participate when The Revenge dressed up as rich boys for Nigel Badminton)...

It is legitimately breaking my heart. One of the things I love about this show is the love is gives to its fat characters and actors. Fang gets to have his tummy out 24/7 and he's treated like a snack by Lucius, Wee John got to have an incredible dress, Oluwande is the crew's most eligible bachelor, and we even got a delightful fat character in 2x07 who spent his whole time dressed in only some leather halters and pants...

But the fact that Wee John was singled out and left behind, and the fact that Fang was singled out and othered at that very same time... It fucking hurts. As a fat person who has loved getting to see so much love for fat bodies... it stung to see that the comedy couldn't even suspend its reality long enough to say "there are a few fat people in the Royal English Navy, so Wee John and Fang get to be dressed up too."

Sitting on the couch with my fiancé’s head on my chest as I explain to him through tears and choked up words of how my relationship with him has helped me unlearn the feeling of believing I was unworthy of love or believing I was not good enough or believing i was undeserving of romantic relationships, and how he has helped me realize the past experiences I’ve faced does not define my current relationship with him, and my fears that the experiences of the past will manifest in our relationship feels so….heavy in my heart. I hate when all those fears and traumas come lurking in my brain… But I’m so ever thankful he assures me, shoos all of it away and kisses away tears with affirmations and helpful insights. I’m so grateful for a partner like him…and how, after all I’ve been through, I needed someone like him to enter my life and show me what love is supposed to be like…which is what I knew I deserved all along.
