Now I haven’t played Apollo Justice but from what I gather Apollo is very iconic because an international celebrity rockstar basically threw himself at his feet like “I am head over heels for you, wanna date????” and Apollo (rightfully) went “This is a murder trial????”

[applejustice]

Apollo totally thinks Phoenix is trans like him (because let's be real Phoenix is an extremely transgender name) and is genuinely surprised to find that the reason there is a trans flag in his office is because he is a very supportive cis guy that just happens to have a weird fucking name. They are both bisexual though.

Did someone say it’s “Fia talks about localization time”? No? Well too bad I’m talking about Apollo Justice.

Because it’s very funny to me that due to interesting localization, in Japanese Apollo talks in a way that is much less

“Nervous and jittery but trying to psych himself up by doing/saying things that he things look cool”

And more so

“Impetuous teenager trying to sound as masculine and serious as he can whilst wanting to explode at any given moment in time”

It’s such an interesting dichotomy because it’d be difficult to localize given that it’s basically him just tone and vibe due to the fact that it’s not WHAT he’s saying necessarily, it’s HOW he’s saying it.

Examples are:

Using the pronoun “オレ” , an extremely masculine and rough pronoun (which is usually used to portray masculinity and confidence in anime/video games but in real life is usually only ever used by men when talking to close friends in private)

The use of *katakana in his dialogue (when not using loan words). It makes his dialogue seem sharper and more forceful for lack of better terms

Sometimes using ぜ as ending particle which is masculine and adds force or indicates command (especially internally) even though he does tend/try to use pretty polite language externally.

*(as you might have seen above “オレ” is written in katakana and it almost always is, especially in his internal monologue)

All of these have been stated to give him a distinct voice when compared to Phoenix, who, in Japanese, talks like a normal, pretty casual guy with a bit of a goofy streak. However, the real nuances of this difference is pretty lost in the ENG version.

While the localization does put more of a focus on Apollo hyping himself up and making himself seem cool, it generally capturing how he comes off as younger (and louder) than Phoenix- however they wasn't able to easily carry over the little edge that made him seem much more "rough," so to speak.

Anyways I just wanted to ramble about translation for a bit and so I did. I hope that this was interesting to at least a few people and served as “Write Apollo as someone who is snide and smarmy” propaganda.

Little Apollo and Klavier based on the capcom cafe. It was my first time trying polymer clay, and it was so weird putting them in the oven 😂

I wanted to try paper quilling. When people start something new, they start small. I started with an A3 of Apollo Justice. Why am I like this? I'm not sure about the result but It was fun.

imagine being a gavinners fan from like wisconsin or some other place like that. vermont idk and they announce a world tour, so you buy tickets for the nearest location. and they start off in LA, their home city, makes sense.

but then you get an email that says NEVERMIND and you get an immediate refund on cashapp. and you look it up and apparently someone was fucking shot at the first concert and klavgav got set on fire and the bassist went to jail for drug smuggling and murder charges. and now they’re announcing a breakup. what do you even do with that fucking onslaught of information

[applejustice]
