the gavin brothers are so fucking petty and funny like, yeah it's really tragic and they're doomed siblings but you know for a fucking fact that phoenix witnessed a heated argument at some point between klavier and kristoph, expecting it to end in tragedy if some sort, and klavier shouts "that's it! i'm telling herr wright! i'm telling the world your secret!" and kristoph reacts like the world is actually about to end and phoenix feels klavier grab his shoulder and klavier says "Sometimes, Kris puts ketchup on his steak!"

And phoenix, a man who eats steak with his bare hands, could not care less about this or about what social rule that breaks, but Klavier looks so triumphant like he won and Phoenix turns to see if Kristoph is going to ask why he's acting so high and mighty - but Kristoph looks like he's just had his goddamn soul ripped out.

and when he finally regains his footing he snaps back all haughty with "Klavier, I didn't want to do this to you in front of Wright. But, I know about how you don't use the proper utensils to eat crab." He idly keeps filing his nails.

and klavier is fucking . devastated. phoenix is still confused, hasn't reacted once. he's eating potato chips and didn't ask to witness this.

the siblings start slipping into arguing in german and phoenix is even more lost that he was before. He overhears one english word and it's "charcuterie" and pieces together some other words that sound similar to english. Klavier just told Kristoph that his charcuterie boards 'don't have enough cheese to compliment the meat.' kristoph flips his braid over his shoulder and lands the final blow of, "The potpourri you chose for the living room doesn't even smell warm and inviting."

Phoenix feels like the energy in the room got darker. Klavier is in tears, and runs away like Kristoph just insulted his entire existence.

Phoenix is still eating potato chips and licking the salt off his fingers.

He doesn't know what potpourri is.

2023 • 2022 ... 2016 • 2015

since going back to school i unfortunately haven't had a lot of time to draw for fun :(( i'm also definitely in one of those periods again where i struggle to post the stuff i Do draw?? idk it's like the act of posting is too much. lmao i'm gonna try to push past the block more often. anyways sorry i'm lower energy here than usual im just annoyed with myself for not doing better.

edit: i'm trying to add the links to my previous YiA's but i think changing my username broke all the links on my old posts which is Deeply Frustrating. if you go into the year in art tag at @grongleboy they should all be there.

So obviously Kristoph's pettiness is terrifying because of what he does as a result of it (murders two people and attempts to murder a 12 year old) but what manages to be even scarier to me is how fucking paranoid Kristoph is.

I've mentioned it before but I actually discussed Kristoph with my brother once (I didn't tell him we were talking about Ace Attorney but he was quick to catch on lol) and we both agree that as bad as the crimes Kristoph was found out for, it's very possible there are crimes he wasn't caught on.

Well, it just occurred to me that canonically, there IS another crime he committed and wasn't caught for: stalking. I don't remember if it's ever made explicitly clear in Apollo Justice, but at the absolute least it's implied that Kristoph was so fucking paranoid after Zak's trial that he was stalking everyone involved in the case. Stalking is a crime, and one that we know Kristoph committed but was never brought to court. Frankly, he's lucky, because the fact that he killed two of the people he was stalking and tried to kill another would've been. Not great for his sentence.

I NEED to do an analysis on Kristoph at some point. I don't know when I'll do it, but I need to do an analysis/essay on how fucked up Kristoph is. I wasn't initially intending to do an analysis on Kristoph because I didn't even know where to start (so basically I was very much in the same boat as every Ace Attorney character to interact with Kris, in that ever since I first thought of doing an analysis on Kristoph I've been like "well, I don't know if I'd even be able to analyze him coherently considering how fucked up Kristoph's fucking brain is") but I've found that analysis essays are like my way of following through with "I want to study this character in a lab" so. It's metaphorical study-Kristoph-Gavin-in-a-lab time lol
