Has anyone realized the parallels between Apollo Justice and Rayfa Padma Khura'in or do I have to point them out myself?

Both have father figures who raised them, whom they love dearly despite not being their biological children, so much so that both decide to follow in their footsteps (Apollo becoming a defense attorney like Dhurke, and Rayfa's whole personality being heavily shaped by her father's behaviour due to the fact that she's a daddy's girl) (The parents also deeply care for them where Dhurke still keeps a 20+ year old photograph of Apollo in his office and Inga keeps the birthday letter that Rayfa wrote him among his most prized possession in a safe made of solid gold)

Neither of them know their real mothers and said mothers are thought to be dead when in reality are forced into disguises due to circumstances outside of their control and yet both Apollo and Rayfa find comfort in them in spite of not being aware of their true identities (Apollo finding comfort in Lamiroir's voice and songs so much so that he uses it as a ringtone and Rayfa's dependence on Nayna, which when Nayna disappears (at the same time of Inga's death) causes Rayfa to be incredibly upset and barely able to function)

Lastly they're both the estranged/unknowing siblings of Nahyuta either due to the time spent apart or just cuz they didn't know they were brother and sister

[askaceattorney]

Dear Skibot99,

We don't really celebrate Mother's Day like in the West.

But, I suppose I can think of something just for the occasion. I might asked Nayna her opinion.

- Rayfa

Now is the time for other institutions to clean house. Because this isn't going away with Claudine Gay. She was just the first head to roll. There are more coming.

[longpause-awkwardsmile]

NYC and back to watch the ball drop 😩 🙃

[runningwithscizzorz]

waaah im bengali and adrisar and nayna being bengali in your actor au makes me so happy thank you :D

No problem! I’m glad they made you happy haha. Here’s an old comic of them with one of my favorite ATLA scenes

[aaroleswapau]

are nahyuta or any of the other khura’inese characters in this au? i like them a normal amount

yep, they are! nahyuta and dhurke are swapped! it's been a while since i've thought about aa6 in any capacity for the swap au bc, let's be real, it's so hard to piece together LMAO ORZ

it's such a swerve to go from miles, klavier, and simon to "OH IT'S APOLLO TIME NOW!!!!!!!!" in the au WHEEZES so i did think about making aa6 like, swapollo's version of an investigations game just so it'd make sense that he gets the spotlight this time.

and yea, nahyuta and co. are here (i unfortunately don't have a design for rayfa yet :^[) but from what i remember, i haven't actually like, solidified their lore in the story bc again, it's very difficult to do (i just like drawing and character design why did i do this orz) DFGHD but yea. somehow, he left khura'in and went into japanifornia with a semblance of a plan in hand and if he could, find his long-lost brother :'^)

i did think about nahyuta approaching the eaa being one of the first things he did (reasons tba pftt) but the idea that he's your co-counsel in the 6-2 is really fun! i do remember switching out the prosecutor in this case to apollo, just for the added trucy angst (bc she still is the one who gets accused in this), and bc of "uh oh what's this!!! my long-lost sibling on the other side of the courtroom!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!"

as for dhurke, i haven't built a lot of lore stuff for him yet (bc i cannot remember aa6 lore very well DFGHD) but just. the switcahroo trick of him being gone the whole time? very fun. you know who else had a switcharoo moment in aa6? hey hold on, why is nayna not here in this au?? why is dhurke's hair lavender????? anyways :^]

[the-ace-attorney-siren]

She’s just as blessed to have you too, you may not have been quite as close as I have but I have seen how you have offered her guidance and insight even when you didn’t need to

In a way we’re both fortunate to have you here with us

(….most of all I’m glad she hasn’t tried to silence you Nahyuta…I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you and Rayfa)

(“Okay come on old girl, try and calm your emotions, you’ll only make people a lot more suspicious if you let your heart lead the way”)

*Nayna, Rayfas companion looked rather lost in thought and anxious*

"...Ahem, ahem. Pardon me, you look lost and in need of guidance from the Holy Mother. Is everything alright?"

[the-ace-attorney-siren]

"Nayna. It is lovely to see you.

I was wondering if you'd like me to... read your past, present and future? With tarot cards? I'd learned how to recently and thought it would be lovely if you were the first to see these skills."

-Nahyuta Sahdmadhi (@holy-mothers-servant). He appears to be holding a familiar-looking deck of Tarot cards.

Oh really? Yes do come in, I’m very interested and honored in seeing what you have learned, I promise to listen intently

(I know those cards, I wonder what the little one is up to?)

[humming-tranquility]

oh ok sure ofcourshe!

nayna man :)

Here is design loyal, Unfortunately with my wide space style it doesn’t do your cute little slugcat justice, The next one though is more of the little world I have going on’s stuff!

[abernathyvalois]

song and podcast recs pls!! (audiobooks too if you listen to them^^)

Im not a podcast person but i love pretty lonesome with madeline argy just cause i find her really relatable and have been listening to her since way before she started the pod ! I also love growing with the flow with nayna florence, her voice is very soothing and she’s very sweet but I think she’s on hiatus or something? Still plenty of episodes of hers to listen to out there . If you’re into science podcasts i love ologies but I admit i haven’t listened in a while!! I used to be an avid listener and can vouch for their old episodes though

As for songs, I have really basic music taste, I listen to things that are popular . If you don’t listen to bowie obviously I’ll be the first to say get into him . As for other specific songs, lately I’ve been really digging supersad by suki waterhouse, steamboat by adrianne lenker, big idea by maya hawke, california by chappell roan, & i lied by housewife. They have kinda different vibes so hopefully something i wrote down helps

[jaggedwolf]

OH MY GOD I GET IT SHE'S TOTALLY GOING TO BE NAYNA ISN'T SHE

normal theory to have playing in 6-5: the fire apollo survived as a small child is the fire that killed queen amara and that dhurke is accused of setting, given the timeline

baseless theory i'm spinning around in my brain: somehow amnesiac lamiroir ended up queen to this country despite knowing no spirit channeling, and didn't actually die in said fire, just changed identities from queen amara. the current royals know this and the coffin is empty. this explains why dhurke ended up being apollo's foster dad, because he was the husband of amara/lamiroir

[beauzos]

Amara is a really interesting character to me. she acts so fucking strange that i honestly thought there was a high chance that she was the ultimate bad guy in Turnabout Revolution lol. i don't know what they were going for with her honestly. i wanna explore her more in my writing eventually. because i can't give any of these characters a happy ending i can't help but feel like Amara and Nahyuta would butt heads, like, a lot. not that they don't love each other, because they really do, but i feel like they really would not understand each other.

Nahyuta grew up in a totally different world than Amara. his lived experiences are wildly different from hers. they'd probably argue about Dhurke, what he'd want, who "knows" him more, they'd argue about what the best thing to do for Khura'in is (which i feel Nahyuta wouldn't mind-- he shouldn't be able to do whatever he wants as regent, so he appreciates a dissenting opinion), they'd argue about Rayfa, about him and what he's doing with his life, so on. i feel like Amara would have very particular ideas of what she wants, thinks, and expects of Nahyuta, and Nahyuta is very much so... not what she expects, i think. like, she knew him probably a little as Nayna, but i don't think she ever really knew him.

and Nahyuta canonically doesn't talk about his feelings or what he's thinking and is very private, so he's not easy to know because i imagine he's still mentally on guard with basically everyone in his life because it's what he's used to. and he's not the beau ideal of a prince or leader. he's just a guy who grew up dirt poor in an isolated world suddenly thrust into great political power at the center of his nation. Amara probably has lofty expectations for her kids, and she's probably spent a long time daydreaming of what it'd be like if they could all be together again, and finding it not exactly as she expected, probably becomes rather upset.

i also think that Nahyuta gets along extremely well with Rayfa after they get used to each other, and i think that would mess with Amara too. that Rayfa connects so easily to Yuta, but she can't seem to connect with either of hers, even though she raised Rayfa the whole time! it's a lot of frustration and missed connections that no one is certain of how to fix. Amara means well, but i just get the vibe she's naturally overbearing and she'll keep running into walls with Yuta (and Rayfa, though they get along a lot better than her and Yuta) because of that.

and i can also see how it might feel so gutting that she and Nahyuta are so different and so constantly at odds when he resembles her so much. i'm sure people have always compared them and in the brief times when she was able to be in his life as a kid, i think she had high expectations of having a daughter child that is like an extension of herself-- and she hasn't yet let go of the idea of that. but Nahyuta is nothing if not his own person post-SOJ, so it'd be a struggle. on the opposite side, Nahyuta has always struggled with feeling like he's in Amara's shadow-- he looks nothing like his father, acts nothing like his father, and must constantly be compared to her because of his looks, this woman he never got to know, this woman who has almost never truly been in his life. he doesn't want to be compared to her.

what a mess.

i wanted to explore that frayed relationship a bit in Rebel Killer, but there was no real time, so i just kinda hinted at things being kinda awkward with them. but you know i'm kind of enamored with how awkward, unpleasant, and strange it'd be between them despite their best efforts bcs of the fic i was planning about Nahyuta and Amara when Yuty was a kid. i'll get back to that eventually, but i do wanna show what their dynamic is like post-SOJ eventually too, because i imagine it's very weird and hard for them to make sense of. they're trying, but they just can't understand each other quite yet.

NEW DISCOVERY!!!!!

Its been found that the security system set up in Chandler and Nayna's house, installed by Chris, was turned off on the day of the murder. Chandler received the notification that informed of this by the installer.

Additionally, through recent revelations in the CCTV footage, Chris has been identified lurking in the neighborhood.

Was this strange behavior because of family matters or something more sinister...? cackle cackle insert MWAHAHHAHAHAH
