#ughghgh this case

[aceof-stars]

I feel very strongly about Recipe for Turnabout, but I don’t think it’s a very good case. I just think it has so much potential to be amazing. 

Trials & Tribulations’ running themes are deception (personas and disguises) and the lengths people will go out of devotion (usually in romantic relationships but Bridge deals with familial). And there’s so much that could have been said about identity, self worth, and being so devoted to someone that you lie to yourself in Recipe.

If Furio Tigre's impersonation of Phoenix was actually really good (and not played off as a joke), it could have done so much to explore Phoenix's identity surrounding being a defense attorney. I mean think about it, Phoenix lives for other people, he doesn’t seem to know what to do with himself when he’s alone, and became a defense attorney to save people. And Furio Tigre ripped that away from him by pretending to be him and getting an innocent person locked up. Everyone thought Tigre was Phoenix. Maggey thought he failed her. It feels straight out of one of Phoenix's worst nightmares. Seriously, why is this plot point only used for laughs?

Viola Cadaverini is probably the most intriguing new character in 3-3 but she’s completely brushed aside. She's a perfect parallel to Phoenix himself. Viola tries to convince herself that Tigre truly loves her, rather than confront the truth that he is paying for her bills and being so kind to her because he's terrified of her mafia boss grandfather. To the point where she stays by his side and becomes an accomplice to his crime. Similarly, Phoenix believed that Dahlia truly loved him. And while Phoenix wasn’t a willing accomplice to Dahlia’s crime, he still hid evidence for her and ate the necklace out of belief in her.

The game itself even acknowledges this connection briefly.

This is what Phoenix thinks after breaking Viola’s psyche-locks. He was scared of her at first but now he sympathizes with her and is filled with new determination to take Tigre down. Phoenix chooses the drink the espresso she prepared, effectively trusting her not to poison him too.

Also side note: Phoenix is really sensitive to betrayal. And it’s really interesting that he seems to hate it because it’s cowardly. Phoenix seems to hate the deception involved in poisoning and betrayal. He’s is terrified of his believing in someone so much, only to be hurt and left alone. (… eyes Phoenix’s reaction to Edgeworth’s note). Yeah it definitely stems from Dahlia.

Now imagine if Viola was the defendant instead of Maggey. That would mean Tigre, the person she convinced herself truly loved her, disguised himself in order to use her as the scapegoat for his crime. Does that sound familiar? Phoenix would probably be scared of Viola at first too. Maybe she reminds him of Dahlia. But slowly come to trust her.

Viola as the defendant would also continue T&T's pattern of guilty or questionable defendants (Ron DeLite being Mask DeMasque, Terry Fawles being in a relationship with 14 y/o Dahlia, and Iris being an accomplice). No case after 2-4 ever critiques Phoenix's misbeliefs as a defense attorney again (that being an attorney is not about saving people but fighting for them, and they everyone deserves a proper defense). But 3-3 could have done that, because Viola was still an accomplice and would have to go to jail for that. Phoenix could have continued to learn that he doesn't have to save everyone, that he has to fight for them and for the truth.

Do you see my vision? Do you see the potential? Recipe for Turnabout could have been a top tier case.

Oh and here's my collection of Recipe's most... memorable quotes. (Aka why is 3-3 like that??)

[blazingstaro]

Hey gang! DotS:MMM update!

I will preface: the comic is still live and shall continue at an irregular schedule until I can pull myself together and get back into the flow

Frankly I have not felt up to drawing and forcing myself into a grind. I need to pace myself and not feel like this is an obligation. I started feeling like I had to make pages to keep up the pace and not disappoint, but that started to really ebb at my enjoyment of making this comic

This is my hobby, and not my job. Nobody pays me to make these. I make this because I like it and want to tell a story. Something I have to constantly remind myself, despite the pressure of disappointing my readers with my inconsistency. These days I draw in bursts and end up losing my stamina because I become emotionally overwhelmed

My energy is still fickle. I'm bombarded with overwhelming negativity at home from various sources, including personal stress and depression caused by my current life situation. What I make to decompress shouldn't be a stresser either

I'll continue to chip away at finishing these pages for DotS:MMM Part One, but it will be at my own pace. I'll post again once I feel ready and satisfied enough with how many pages I have in hand. Deadlines stress me out and kill my motivation to draw. Again it makes me feel obligated to do this stuff, to make it instead of just being something I enjoy and have fun with

Also Orpheus decided to worm his way in, so now I have to rewrite some scripts to as well fix a tremendous continuity error that Orpheus has come in to correct. This man makes me rewrite everything, I swear omg

You'll see what I mean in later parts of DotS:MMM

Thank you guys as always for your patience! 💖

Additionally for you all, my Tumblr lovelies, I'll continue to answer asks! Might be able to squeeze in a sketch or two as I go, but goodness I have to constantly train myself to draw for fun and not treat it like work. Tumblr has been helping with that a lot

My previous following several years ago on dA used to pressure me into keeping up with my own content and would punish me with hateful comments if I didn't post art of their fave OC of mine often enough (yes my OWN oc, not a fan character), and UGHGHGH MAN. HEAVEN FORBID I posted a new design without some sort of specific ritual first, just up and dropped a new character like "hi hello this is bleebo blorbie my new baby blorbo kthx bye". They'd throw a fit over that too. Not everyone of course, but it was a lot of people

I was bullied by fans of my own original content 😭 you see why I do fan stuff these days

It wasn't even remotely done, didn't even have a comic or story; people lusted over my own designs. I felt like I had to finish a story that never wanted to be told just to make ends meet, to appease the unappeasable, and burnt myself out entirely on the series to where I had to scrap the whole thing.

Thankfully that's not the case anymore, with my current following being great and sweet, but on rare occasions a rare impatient reader will show themselves on dA specifically

I appreciate you guys being so chill and kind to me throughout this year 😭 Tumblr gang I've always loved y'all. I haven't felt at home on a site in so long

Gambol Pettybog seems like one hobbit who sells the hobbit equivalent to Avon or smth. Anytime he talks about visiting you you're just ughghgh not again

sfsjfsj i haven't thought about Avon in years but now you've mentioned it i'm remembering when i was a kid it was THE thing in my grandma's friend circle XD ugh i can still remember the perfume.

i can just picture the Hobbits though like

"Good mornin'! Ow was your evening then?" "I had that Pettybog down for tea" *knowing Grimace* "Now you know I'm not one to judge folk but-" "-But that's a strange 'un make no mistake. Somethin' sinister, I'll be the first to tell you." "Gives a fella the shivers, that one!" (lowered voices) "I don't like to say it but you know? I don't reckon he is all Hobbit if you catch my meaning." "Ol' Mosey Tombug reckons Goblin. Mother's side, more'n likely." "Say now! That's a little too far to be charitable." "I only speculate as far as I'm invited, Bramble, and that one's got rumors from here to- well, well beyond our borders in any case, I'm sure of it!" "..." "..." "Say, speakin' a odd types, you wouldn't 'appen'oo have heard from that Sackett fella lately, would ya?" "Gandalf's beard- Just last week, in fact. He was goin' on about some turtle." "He's still on that, is he? He and Mister Pettybog ought to be introduced." "Shhhhh don't say it, don't say it! 'tween the two of em who knows what sort of trouble they'd dream up? And with Mister Bilbo's- Bilbo's, now -birthday, right around the corner?" "You're right. Bound to be mischief already. Sackett talks of turtles, bet anything Pettybog'd make it a dragon, and then those Bagginses would get all excited again..." "Exactly. No and thank you, the Shire has had quite enough of that for an age or two, maybe even three." "Here, here." "..." "..." "So this birthday of Mister Bilbo's...I heard there's to be fireworks..."

Weekly Update

Currently Writing Absent That Night (tagged: WIP: ATN)

wordcount this week: 6,839

total wordcount: 30,126

seriously considering giving myself a deadline on this, just to see what happens. I imagine with my tendency to overwrite + fantasy=worldbuilding, I'm looking at about a 150k draft. Tentatively thinking end of September 'deadline' (mayhaps October NaNo prep? for the next idea which I already have ugh). Will make a proper post about this sometime this week, maybe.

highlight: Latrell, flailing: YOU ARE A CrImInAl!! Nox: I steal only from the rich and use every cent I have left over after [redacted] to a) survive and b) help disadvantaged populations in this cesspool of a city Nox: I'm basically fuckin Robin Hood

my brain is cranking overtime on plot -- finally nailed down the third murder victim/midpoint twist, figured out how it plays into the Murderer's overall goal, and have scenes planned up to the catalyst. Next week is ideas for fun and games win/loss cycle, clues and red herrings and all that jazz

my first (main?) job is fortunately very cruisy in that the boss will only yell at me if I'm scribbling notes for, like, a full hour. Managed to get a fair whack of scene ideas/planning done there this week. My second job (!!) is gonna be pretty braindead but is for a large company, a situation in which I've never worked (only family owned businesses til now!). So although I'll have time to think, I'm a little wary about how it'll go without me being able to write it down immediately. We'll see how I go

very happy with how it's coming along despite the fact it's taken me 30k to reach the catalyst and I'm genuinely unsure if it's because I have a proper end point/scene I'm working towards. That will definitely need thinking on if I manage to keep up the momentum over the next couple of months and actually finish the damned draft, so it's something to file away

haven't written as much as I would've liked over the last few days, as I've been distracted by Crafting and also, just, being insane. Gonna try and get into a bit more of a rhythm again this week. Still written lots of notes that I don't count in the wordcount! So not all bad

Currently Reading The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater, book three of the Raven Cycle

I don't know if it's just me but I feel like the voice in this one has changed...? Or maybe I'm just not concentrating as much as I had been

still enjoying it! Though looking forward to getting to the end and getting back into thrillers

I quite like the way introspection is done, because it feels seamless yet still gives you a lot of info about the characters. Also the kisses! Going back to book two as well, I enjoy the way Stiefvater doesn't necessarily describe the physical act but instead does it through feelings. Very impressive, note taken

about 50% through I think? So should be finishing it up this week

Real Life

my state is now in a statewide lockdown. It's not awful cuz I can get money and I spend a lot of time in my room anyway, but I'm paranoid about my first shift at my new (essential) job and also I'm stuck in a house with the Bitch for (at least) seven days ughghgh

but! New job! New excellent job that will help with finances and next year and fits my schedule and, just, wow, so thankful

naturally I'm paranoid it's all gonna change/it's a joke/mistake. I just wanna get the first shift over with tomorrow please I hope it's gonna be okay

health kick is ongoing. Challenge this week is to not lose momentum through lockdown, and also not eat everything in reach just because I'm bored

Excerpt

feat. Latrell being a pain in the ass and thinking he knows everything (spoiler: this bites him in the ass hard):

Latrell subsided, nodding a little. He still wasn't happy, but this wasn't his operation. He and Albie were just along for the ride, extra manpower in case something went down, proximity in case they got lucky and could learn something about Nox. Not ideal, but as good as he was going to get.

Albie gave him an exasperated look as Turner finally continued outlining the operation. Latrell sipped his coffee, not reacting, steadfastly avoiding her gaze.

"You," Albie said, quietly enough that Latrell had to strain to hear her beneath Turner's drone, "Are the absolute worst."

Latrell kept his eyes straight ahead still, but this time, he smirked.

cleaning out my computer finds: the Petersburg madness

I wrote this two and a half years ago while stuck on an essay about 19th century Russian literature and its artist trope, but I like the...poetry of it.

The artist is too involved in the world of the dream, he only cares about unreality well rather what reality is not....THE UNREAL. the fake. the dream. the ideal the picture, what he wants it to be. he dies for the dream it is all he cares about. he only wants perfection. he dies for the sake of a woman who doesn't even exist. wait no not for her sake he dies because she is not real she isn't a real woman she's dumb and a prostitute and what is he he's a poor artist and ughghgh what else in his dream world she is a shining beautiful creature because he only lives for the AESTHETIC and her appearance and whatever he wants her to be and that's not really what she is. ARTISTS and the DREAMS like. both chartkov and piskarov or whatever the fuck he's called don't @ me like. they dream of things that aren't real but for them the dreams become reality because because because it's all they care about so it is real TO THEM but to us it's fake. people don't come out of paintings, people aren't something they are not. what else? what the fuck else?? russian madness? petersburg madness? the restriction of being an artist means that all you care about well actually the restriction of being an artist specifically in such a bleak and restrictive place. you have no room to breathe to live no place to celebrate the beauty the aesthetic and that is all that art is? or is it meant to be beautiful?? society wants it to be the most beautiful thing but art underneath the surface is ugly, it shows us the world as it really is. case in point the sallow faced girl. they wanted her to be more beautiful or her mother did rather. and that is just. it is suffocating. how can you be creative if there is no room to create. that is the plight of the artist. what else is there for him to live for.

[goodsprings]

ughghgh trying not to get too excited in case things change again but my top surgery finally got rescheduled for the 29th and i just wanna get this shit done with so i can go about my tiddy free life

[dongshancai]

final thoughts on he is psychometric

so just to get this out of the way: when i first heard that jinyoung and yeeun would be in a thriller drama together, i wasn’t expecting this + i wasn’t really excited either because i’m not the biggest fan of thriller (at least it wasn’t horror). and i wasn’t even excited unTIL the official trailer dropped and i was like OHOHOH THIS LOOKS FUN. 

IT WAS NOT FUN.

OR AT LEAST, IT WAS FUN FOR LIKE THREE EPISODES. 

this drama was really really well executed and while the ending is too... eh in my opinion, it’s not as bad as other endings i’ve seen before. 

the pace of the overall drama was PERFECT. maybe the editors went a little too overboard in the flashbacks (i thought it was irrelevant to put a flashback of something that happened earlier in the episode) sometimes, but it was fast paced so it didn’t lose it’s momentum. i was on the edge of my seat the entire time and the plot twists were UGHGHGH FRUSTRATING but it made sense to the plotline. except for maybe jisoo’s death. idk. like i get it did up the shock factor, but i don’t feel like the characters had enough time to properly grieve for her and legitimately be thrown off course like i’m sure is the intended purpose. the characters bounced right back too quickly for my liking, especially knowing their emotional ties with her. so her death should’ve been handled better in terms of writing and i’m not even saying this because everyone likes jisoo--i genuinely believe that if they killed her, her death should’ve impacted the characters more or don’t kill her at all. ALSO JAEIN’S KIDNAPPING. it was so obvious she was going to live so it was really anticlimactic. like psychologically, i thought the way of killing her was interesting because i’ve never seen a murder like that in shows before, but;;;;;;;; idk jaein’s kidnapping was kinda irrelevant because everyone knew she was going to live. maybe if she was kidnapped a bit later than it would’ve been more believable. 

IN TERMS OF THE CONCLUDING EPISODE, like most dramas, they try to cram too much in that one hour. i felt like the trials could’ve been longer unless that was the director’s intended effect to quickly sum up everyone’s sentences IDK IT DOESN’T REALLY SIT WELL WITH ME. especially with geuntaek’s trial because in the end, he got what he wanted: to see kang eunjoo. and while her arc ended that she gained the courage to finally speak up, i don’t like how geuntaek got to see her one last time. 

also i wish we got to see a biiiiit more of jaein and her dad because they look so happy together :( but their interaction in the prison didn’t seem too realistic to me either. he seemed too happy. and even though i get why he would, he also tried to commit suicide to stop jaein so i feel like he should’ve, scolded her a bit or something idk like your typical asian parent would do

as for seungmo UGH I DON’T KNOW WHAT I FEEL TOWARDS HIM. because WOW the writers did an AMAZING job at getting us to sympathize with him and root for him only for him to STILL BE NOBLE AND TURN HIMSELF IN AND ASLIDFHASDFAS under all his circumstances, it makes sense that most people would pity him and the writers executed that FLAWLESSLY. but he still killed people and lied to many others and im so :(((((( i wanted him to have a happy ending but with 13 years in prison, he would be incarcerated for 22 years of his life and that just seems so cruel. and those years he lived free? he lived in worry and guilt I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF THE SENTENCE WAS ABOUT 3-7 YEARS because he did admit to everything he did + was a minor and everything else the trial stated but 13 years seem so cruel >:( but then again, it is pretty realistic so,,, what can you do :( 

i would write more about the other characters like ahn and jaein and daebong and seohyun but i love them too much there’s nothing much to talk about rather than me screaming about how much i love them. the mundane moments were so cute <3333 THE CAST WAS REALLY AMAZING IN TERMS OF ACTING LIKE I HAD REALLY REALLY REALLY LOW EXPECTATIONS FOR JINYOUNG GOING IN (idols don’t have the best rep when they gain a drama role ESPECIALLY for a non school life drama and I haven’t watched Jinyoung in anything besides 3 episodes of Dream Knight lkasdfjlasdf) and I didn’t really like Do Hana in A-TEEN that much so like, i was alskdfasdkfjasdf iffy going in but WOW they really stole my heart. Kim Kwon and Dasom were really amazing as well. I can’t say too much about Dasom because I don’t know her personality and Jisoo was cute and badass and your normal relatable girl so asdioufhsd if anything, Dasom’s personality could be really similar to Jisoo. But her conviction in trying to solve the case was really well executed. You can see her struggle of wanting to find the truth even though her crush might be behind everything. AS FOR KIM KWON WOW. I HAVEN’T WATCHED HIM IN ANYTHING ELSE BUT I BELIEVE IT TAKES MAJOR SKILL TO PLAY STOIC CHARACTERS since you have to show emotions but at the same time, you can’t show emotions (which is why I hate it when boy idols receive the cold characters bc;;;; their acting isn’t very nuanced :/// sorry boys) and seungmo didn’t even HAVE emotions as a character AND HE SLDAKFASDKFJ WOWOOWOWOWOW. he did amazing. the actor for Lieutenant Nam was pretty cool too I’m not gonna lie :’) he was this bumbling officer that made me really uncomfortable, but his lines were pretty cool. and that kinda dumb detective was cute ahaha 

ALSO THE MATH TEACHER IN THE FIRST TWO EPISODES. HE WAS THE GUY WHO PLAYED TWO CHARACTERS IN BONG SOON AND YEESH i really love his acting I had to mention him.

AND OKAY ONE MORE MENTION: THE ACTRESS FOR KANG EUNJOO. I watched her in Love Returns and she was this loud mouth SUPER ANNOYING JUDGEMENTAL AUNT AND I HATED HER CHARACTER TO MY CORE but dang she’s GOOD. Kang Eunjoo is the complete opposite of the aunt in Love Returns, so it was really interesting to see how she played Eunjoo.

ALSO. I’M SO SAD THAT THIS DRAMA IS GOING TO WASTE IN TERMS OF HYPE it was so good and fresh and different i’m surprised it didn’t receive more viewership :((( okay, actually, i’ve seen a couple people not like the show that much and like, i’m kinda biased bc i don’t really watch thriller so a lot of these concepts are somewhat new to me but asdfjklasdf whatever. i thought it was good. i can’t believe it’s over, it was such a crazy ride. so um, if i had to rate the show overall: 9.5/10 I think the execution in every area was very good and there’s nothing i despise too much overall. so i’m VERY satisfied with the show and 1000000% recommend it. 

(last critique: while the cinematography was pretty good, sometimes a little TOO MANY TIMES, there were a couple of shots where it seemed like someone was watching a character when really, it was just a badly framed and panned shot to keep everything dynamic. i wouldn’t mind it too much if THERE WEREN’T ALREADY SCENES LIKE THAT BECAUSE A STALKER ACTUALLY EXISTS IN THE STORY)

[lovelycharmingvillain]

I've being really wanting to do some replies for the last few days but I can barely keep my eyes open at the moment- I'm about a week into treatment now and I've had to be off my meds the whole time in case it interferes with fertility. End result I'm an exhausted zombie man 

Daily injections suck (most painful ones yet to come, YAY), but at least I'm (hopefully) nearing the end of treatment now. Ughghgh I never want to see another needle in my life 

Not looking forward to the operation either, but hey o it's not the worst, will at least be over quickly... Anyway, just wanted to say that my absence here is not for a lack of wanting to write, just that I physically can't do much at all right now. I'm fine, don't worry! Just annoyed and whiny mainly 

I'll keep you all posted and will get to threads/ asks as soon as I can! :D

[bruisedark]

ughghgh i have to wait like 3 weeks for my diagnosis and like. at this point im more worried that i DON’T have ASD, because if that’s the case then like i have no fucking idea what ive been experiencing my whole life and why i’m having such an acutely horrible time existing right now

[lovereturns]

you are too nice.you shouldnt feel bad cause it was not your fault but theirs. you were even kind enough to wait for them instead of leaving (theres a reason why its called appointments) and what do they mean they cant contact you when they literally texted you? wth. the person probably forgot their appointment and are making excuses . or if not then they cant think straight at all, in that case i feel bad for the grandma cause the person didn't call you for help

akdsjlsdaf on one hand i know i’m more in the right BUT I CAN’T HELP BUT FEEL BAD (i’m feeling a little bit better after showering and listening to upbeat golden child songs

and tbh,,, your message actually kinda helped the reasoning ehehhe because recently, my friend started a mini eyelash business or whatever and she charges late fees and!! okay!! that does make me feel better that i did wait for them for a bit. AND HAHAH I KIND OF CONNECTED THIS BACK TO BEING A CONTENT CREATOR and how we’re treated like shit in fandoms. a photographer is essentially a content creator too, an artist, and everyone who appreciates art knows that artists never receive what they deserve. (of course i get mad when i realize it’s like being a content creator lololololol)

AND YEAH??? I’D FEEL WORSE IF THEY CAME TO THE STUDIO TO COMPLAIN but then?? they’d texted me when i CALLED THEM which is the only possible way they have the number and i– it’s kinda partially because they were waiting for a call and i guess no one called them so it was kinda ‘my’ fault in a sense. 

(i do feel bad for the grandma though ughghgh)

[hexitca]

Tiene 7, 8, 12 y 14 por favor?

* i can only speak English so i hope you can read this! if that’s the case lol*

7) Is there any significance behind their height?

Nah just that I wanted her short and then I saw that DW was only 3 1/2 heads tall I just went “let’s make her just a tiny bit taller than him” lol i suck at consistent height honestly so it helps to always think “she’s a head and a half taller than DW” so i dont draw her too short/too tall lol

8)What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?

Her insecurities of being a failure/her lack of people skills/ and just how she doesn’t really know where she fits in the world

but I also relate to her snarky/attitude side just a little bit lol 

12) What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?

HER BEAK! I suck at drawing her beak in exciting poses so im always drawing her boring ugh. Im working on that by trying to study the comics and cartoons but ughghgh i suck lol

also sometimes i feel i make her head too small XD

14) If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?

1 - how she holds herself, she’s very reserved and keeps her emotions in check a lot (due to being scolded/punished for her anger as a child. Her mother was very emotionless while one of her sisters was really mean and angry all the time. She just thought it was better to not show too little or too much emotion.) So i draw her looking bored a lot or that’s why she looks sad in some of my pics

I hope to get better at drawing expressions with beaks so that I can start her transitioning from that mindset to a much more relax and expressive mindset.

2 - I kinda keep her delicate (like with her hand movements/placements etc) since characters like DW, LP, and Gos tend to be more dramatic in their movements/mannerism. Like i stated before, she’s very reserve at first, trying to keep to herself and only having a working relationship with the gang. Her personal space in her lab is just a mattress with some sketchbooks and journals in neat piles near it.

I dont know how to phrase it other than she keeps everything about her to a small area/herself. Hopefully i’ll figure out how to communicate what that trait is later on as i develop her character further lol 

[trumanblck-1975]

I don't get the Matty hate. He didn't even say "the n-word" - so what's the big fuss about? If we give so much power to a fucking word, then ofc everyone will seem offended by it. It's the same case with "gay" - people used is as an insult for the longest time, but nobody thinks of it as an insult anymore, right? Don't give power to a stupid word. He was mouthing along to a song. He didn't use the word as an insult or anything. He's very pro-eguality, which is very obvious. ughghgh

There are so many things wrong with this ask

[snipec-archived]

Aoi where my fishing set is at did ichinose take it away I should beat Shinya in this case ughghgh

"Haha~! Nii-san doesn’t beat me up though."
