imagine trying to blame your fiance for the murder of your ex boss and suddenly the prosecutor (who is supposed to be on your side) is also trying to blame you bc he thinks the defense guy is cute

[gasstationclown]

assorted ace attorneys or whatever (see more for stupid notes on each one)

some beanix to soothe the soul. this is actually a redraw (sketch) for something i did a WHILE ago. might finish it digitally

i love athena sm shed kick ass at tennis i think

was figuring out how exactly kristoph looks because i was mostly going off memory

if i spoke about what i think about kristoph and phoenixs relationship i think id sound insane but i think this is it

i think frequently about kristophs golden retriever named vongole and wonder what happened to her. anyway heres kristoph spraying phoenix with a hose. i also think this is accurate about how i think about them

part of a larger idea in my brain because i have Many thoughts about klavier but i didnt like the other bits i drew so heres this

also was figuring out how to draw klavier and i just adore him playing with his hair (hes just like me fr)

/9. i dont draw trucy and apollo that much and i want to draw MORE!! this also applies to like. every ace attorney character ever actually

Kristoph is by far the funniest antagonist of them all… you start out and it’s like woah! This guy is your boss! Very cool. And then you figure out that he murdered some chump??

That entire situation will never stop being utterly hilarious to me, I love it.

I just had a thought

Okay, so hear me out. There’s no doubt Klavier would probably run some cases and paperwork by Edgeworth from time to time and so just pops in. Years after the Apollo Justice game, while Apollo is in town Klavier decides to go and ask Edgeworth to take care of some paperwork, and to ask for some time off to relax with him. He gets close to the door and overhears Edgeworth talking to Wright. He is about to playfully interrupt his boss and his husband when he hears what they’re talking about. Wright is telling Edgeworth how Apollo and Trucy’s Mom is ready to meet them and tell them the truth. He mentions she is retired so when they are ready to talk, she is always available. That’s surprising, sure, but then Edgeworth asks who she is and Phoenix at first goes Thalassa, a name Klavier remembers a bit from doing a bit of digging into the magic troupe’s past after his first case with Phoenix. But then Phoenix goes, “But her stage name was Lamiroir” Klavier’s heart stops. He’s frozen in place, out of shock or denial as he tries to listen to make sure he heard that right but it’s true. Out of adrenaline, he drops the files he had and runs away. Phoenix and Edgeworth pause and go out to see them now scattered on the floor and he pauses as he realizes whose work it was and what he heard. Phoenix is clueless at first before Edgeworth scolds and reminds him of who almost killed Lamiroir all that time ago. Phoenix freezes at that, now realizing that it might have set him off again and so immediately calls Apollo to try and tell him that Klavier heard some disturbing news, and Edgeworth orders Gumshoe to pick up the files as he goes to try and find Klavier again. Meanwhile Klavier had made it outside, still shaken as old feelings of betrayal crop up. But more powerful is the knowledge that his best friend at the time had almost killed Apollo and Trucy’s Mother. All he could think of was the moment in court when it was revealed who Lamiroir’s attacker was. He wanders out, soon getting to People Park. He couldn’t help but see the irony in it as he realized he went back to where he and Apollo first met. He doesn’t know what to do, where to go. Should he tell Apollo about the revelation, or let their Mother let them know at her own pace? What should he say in regards to what Daryan did? Just, all the feels once Klavier knows who Lamiroir is since it’s most likely that he’ll overhear the truth first since while Phoenix is careful about it around the agency, he feels safe and confident since if and when any of them are at the prosecutors’ offices, they’d know before hand. And then, what if Apollo puts it together that Klavier knew somehow and kept away from him the past couple of days because he felt guilty. Would Apollo be mad at him, jumping to the conclusion that somehow he always knew but never told them, or would he be worried wondering where he got to? If anyone knows of a fic that does this, please tell me, cause otherwise I’m going to just hurt myself from the draft alone but I will write it if I have to!

im gonna do a rambly thing because this is a rambly thing thats been in my brain and its actually sort of coherent and im incapable of shutting up so i want to share it. it also happens to be ace attorney because. ace attorney is running my life rn. but see more for said rambly thing (which will make the above make more sense, probably)

as much as i love the idea of the scene where apollo and klavier first meet, apollo looking at klavier and being Very Queer and klavier being like "ive never been looked at this way by a man before" and also being Very Queer, i dont think thats exactly what it is.

as ive mentioned a tiny little bit in a previous post, kristoph and klavier are nearly identical, and its kind of eerie how similar they actually are. theyre both easy to anger (though kristoph is a little more subtle until his breakdown) and tend to show this by hitting solid objects (wall for klavier, witness stand for kristoph); they have the same hair (which klavier seems to hav copied from kristoph); they both have sprites/animations of moving their hair out of their eyes, though klaviers is more sweet and suave while kristophs is more annoyed and disgruntled; kristoph has a sprite/animation where he kind of flicks his wrist and shakes his head, and klavier snaps his fingers (in the same general area); they both wear purple; they both wear glasses (klaviers sunglasses) with the same shape. the point is that they mirror each other

but, they are also fundamentally DIFFERENT. klaviers style is obviously rock n roll while kristophs is more traditional gentlemanly, and klaviers purple is much darker in comparison to kristophs. when klavier laughs, his head is tilted downward, but when kristoph laughs (in the flashback of what happened after the trial) his head is tilted up. kristoph tends to hold himself while klavier is much more loose. while they both tend to talk down to people, kristoph is more belittling and purposeful while klavier doesnt exactly seem to realize the wwords that are coming out of his mouth and just think hes being cool, yknow, like his brother. but, point is, theres a clear difference between them

you may be saying, "ok man can you just get to your point this is really stupid and youre dragging it on and its really hard to read paragraphs when you type so poorly" and to that i say yeah! i know! just hold on!

when apollo first sees klavier, he is HORRIFIED. a man so similar to his old mentor, the man that was supposed to teach him everything there was to being a defense attorney, the man that he helped send to jail on account of MURDER, appearing out in the open, so free and smiling. apollo is in terror and klavier somehow equates this to "i must look SO fine that this guy is giving me the same look women give me 😏" (which, i dont know what that says about the women he sees but) and completely misinterprets apollo looking him up and down in shock (apollo also literally says "mr. gavin?")

the reason apollo just seems to shit on klaviers person so much is because of how goddamn similar he is to kristoph, and he cant shake the feeling. and i think he recognizes that klavier and kristoph are NOT the same person, that klavier is not the same as kristoph, but he cant change that everywhere he sees klavier, he just sees kristoph in his place. and apollo cant find it in himself to be able to put a little trust in klavier being he just gives him this Icky Feeling.

i dont think apollo WANTS to hate klavier for being klavier either!! in turnabout serenade (i think?), when apollo and trucy go to talk to klavier on the stage, klavier greets them and apollo gives him an awkward "hiya". hes trying to be nice and polite and bypass his flight or fight responses but it comes out strained and uncomfortable. its much easier to say you dont like someone because theyre arrogant and whatever as an excuse than to say that oh my god, they look/act like someone who has made lasting damage/impact on your life. some jealously aspects could come from apollo thinking that klavier has it so easy despite also being horrendously betrayed by someone close to you because klavier just seemed to bounce back just like that.

i dont exactly know where to put this point, but after the first case and kristoph gets sent to prison, klavier literally cannot be lead by kristoph anymore. his brother isnt watching his every move, and he cant use klavier anymore (whether klavier was aware or not). theres just klavier, his own person

but, ok, whatever whatever, whats with the pictures. this one i can summarize easily, actually. in thinking [all of the above], i also thought of what would break the mirage apollo has floating around klavier at all times, and i think that would be something along the lines of klavier doing something that apollo physically cannot imagine kristoph doing as well. in this case, its kneeling down in the mud trying to find his key ring and then getting mud in his hair and being so oblivious to it. kristoph just isnt the type. and i think something like that would give apollo a moment of thought and realization. and then some like rivals to lovers stuff happens idk this post is over

Man, I remember when people headcannoned that Damon Gant was Apollo's father... good times.

It's a bit funny that, while he was presumed to be so due to him looking like the Greco-Roman god of thunder, Jove also has a relation to said god- though in name only.
