i cannot draw psychelocks to save my life so i modeled one as a drawing ref

[crowfaraday]

i noticed some other ppl wanted to use this as a drawing ref so i updated the model a little feel free to use this as a drawing ref/trace it! credit not required but appreciated! (please don't reupload the images themselves though)

I'm not saying this to excuse some of the shortcomings that I definitely agree datv has but I think some would benefit from learning how to take a story and fill in the gaps yourself. The narrative doesn't always have to spell out every little detail for you and sometimes those gaps are intentional

Psycholockes made me laugh :)

so there's a lot of uncertainty and debate on when phoenix actually started suspecting kristoph, if he ever trusted him, etc. and like I do get it. phoenix used to be a hell of a trusting guy, that's so real.

but he also constantly carries around a magic rock that detects lies, and I have to believe that the first time kristoph said smth about how he's so sorry this all happened, like 27 psychelocks slammed down

Just added an attorney badge to the gang after a request! Made them in mini size as well because said requester was actually using it on the collars of their cats named Phoenix and Maya <3 I won't be putting up any photos until I get the guts to ask for permission, but for now just enjoy these as is hehe. We're on a 20% sale at the moment! And right now, Etsy has a promotion for which if you hit a minimum order of 25USD(only for US, UK and Canada fans sadly ;w;), you can use the code GET5 to get another 5USD off! Get these here in my Ace Attorney Charms listing!

such an interesting line in retrospect cuz yeah he said this but he still immediately went out of his way to defend iris, something which hes only ever done for edgeworth btw. like he still had faith in her despite mentally scorning her as a coward.. like was this supposed to be another example of phoenix knowing more than the player, like how in aa2 he knew abt edgeworths "suicide" while we the players didnt? is this aa3 hinting that phoenix suspected tht there mustve been another explanation for dahlia's/iris' actions? cuz if thats the case then that was horribly written lmfao.

like idkkk like id like to think that this would indicate that phoenix is internally more conflicted abt dahlia/iris than his external actions seems to show, but still its like whyyy did he go out of his way to defend iris then. he didnt have any reason to think that the girl he dated and the girl who tried to poison him were different people. or maybe he did idk. IDK the writing of iris' character was just very blwefhkjds like shes just this mysteriousss character who looks incredibly similar to our evil ex. and because spirit channelling is on the table and also bc we arent certain on what happened to dahlia we have no idea who this iris girl actually is. is she dahlia or is she not. its like i said its just... it seems to me like aa3's whole thesis is about withholding faith in a person despite all the contradictory evidence, and this is reflected in the way that phoenix still believes that the girl he dated is not the girl who tried to poison him. except with the way that aa3 is written this just makes phoenix look unhealthy and delusional bc there is no basis on why phoenix should believe that, because we never once see how phoenix remembers iris. and with this line of him calling dahlia/iris coward, but also saying this shit at the end

yeah this game is BADLY WRITTEN!

this started as a thing for an au me and my friends were working on but ended up having some aai sound effects thrown on it

ok how about turnabout reclaimed as an athena case with apollo cocounsel like in academy. i like the psychelock mechanics as much as the next guy but yamazaki phoenix bores me to death, apollo spends way too much time offscreen for a game that's supposed to be his sequel, and athena only getting one case in her intro game is genuinely insulting. the way they treat her in the game its like shes just an assistant and not an actual lawyer. and even if it's a Phoenix game for branding this is the dlc so they can do whatever they want

[eros-cestlavie]

question for the ace attorney fandom: how completely demented do yall think the trial of shelley de killer was?? i cant imagine pheonix and maya are the most straightforward witnesses
