I cannot imagine how freakin tired these two must be

the curse of the artist is that initially I just made this as a meme using the handshake template but then my brain was like "you could draw it and it would make it funnier" so. here we are.

Who is this sassy.. lost child?

I can now recreate most of chapter 8!!! / bonus features below the cut / follow for more cool stuff

Jin Ling's sprites:

His share code is MVDLXY :)

Congrats, Jin Ling! You have 3 different poses, showing three different levels of irritation, making you the most complex character so far.

His sprites were traced off of Cody Hackins from 1-2. His little puffed-cheek sprite screamed Jin Ling.

(NASA announcer voice) Aaaand we have soundtrack. I thought Luke Atmey's and Furio Tigre's themes both suited Jin Ling pretty well. Other contenders before I decided on Moderato 2004 were Allegro 2002 and Investigation - Middle 2002.

Will take a break from these for Art Fight probably but they have been sooo fun to make. Plus I get to show off my objection.lol skills outside of stupid discord arguments.

Last, I think, work for the Pride “summer” Challenge 2024. The first pride for ace Jiang Cheng, invited by Jin Ling and Wei Wuxian. They love him and accept him even if he doesn't think he has the right. 🖤🩶🤍💜

JC antis will look at JC being blacklisted by matchmakers as an example of his "misogyny" (an event that didn't even happen in canon, mind) whilst ignoring that all his CANON events involving women were all respectful??

Being afraid of his mother yet willing to take on her family heirloom, eager to avenge her after her death and desparing over losing her. Insisting that WWX apologises to both HER and his father by kneeling before them. Internalising everything she says and taking her words seriously to the extent that he was very submissive and meek before her..

Looking up to his sister, willing to fight another sect heir for her despite worry of sullying his own and the sect's image. Respecting every word she says along with her choice of whom she marries (despite disliking said person) and starting a seige in her name the moment she was killed..

Treating the prostitute who came to testify about JGY with proper manners and respect, despite her status (a status that was heavily frowned upon and not taken seriously mind, especially as a woman in ancient China).

Putting all his faith in a woman he had only heard about through rumours to fix his core for him without question..

But sure. He's misogynistic because he's not interested in marriage and romance ig. 🙄

Just say y'all are acephobic and go.

It was his brother's idea.

Here we go again…..

Having JC as Ace does not give him a free pass to being homophobic.

"If I had a nickel for every time I had to defend Jiang Cheng in a murder trial, I would have two nickels. Which is not a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice..." ~ Attorney LXC, probably

i'm not saying ace attorney au turnabout goodbyes, but what if ace attorney au turnabout goodbyes, bc i like putting JC in the defendant's chair

its prosecutor jiang wanyin!!!! oh fuck!!! / gifs + au rambling below the cut / follow for more mdzs x aa crossover stuff :3

all the gifs i made (poses traced off franziska):

hes so similar to franziska when you think about it. theyre both deeply insecure tsundere adoptive younger sibling of successful main characters. who carry whips. something something edgeworth choosing death and wwx actually dying also

his share code is HWFEFF if you wanna use him in a trial! you can't share backgrounds but heres the scenery from the donghua i used.

the easiest way to put custom stuff into objection.lol is to send it in discord and then use the link from opening it in your browser :)

a whole lot of AU stuff

the art im making is for if mdzs was an ace attorney game, playing from WWX's POV to solve various mysteries/cases over the course of the plot. so this scene would be from turnabout goddess, which would loosely cover the dafan mountain mystery.

cases include:

Turnabout Revenge (Mo Manor, quick introductory first case)

Turnabout Goddess (Dafan mountain, the good times flashback)

Turnabout Saber (the man-eating castle (omg hiii nhs))

The Blind Turnabout (Yi City arc)

Turnabout Deviation (the Koi Tower conference, Empathy on NMJ ala turnabout memories or beginnings. opening cutscene is his qi deviation)

The Blood-Soaked Turnabout (second Burial Mounds siege, flashbacks: Xuanwu, Sunshot, YLLZ, Nightless City massacre)

Turnabout Lotus Seeds (testimony about JGY, tree scene, golden core reveal, bathtub scene. opening cutscene could be JGS' death but that would make it canon rather than ambiguous)

Turnabout Confession (Guanyin temple)

the problem with splitting novel!mdzs into turnabouts is that flashbacks are a huge chunk of the book but they don't have mysteries/ cases to solve so they've gotta be lumped together with present day stuff. imo? many of the flashbacks would likely have to be abridged so they could be retold ala DL-6, SL-9, or the fourth grade incident, where characters talk about it over some pieces of art. this is really difficult when theres a metric ton of unspoken, complex, and signifcant history between every character lmao

there's not as much of a problem with the cql timeline but i have not finished it. so.

the opening cutscenes in ace attorney always show the murder and/or the murderer plotting. the first cutscene of the game would be MXY summoning WWX, muttering about getting revenge on his family (it would also be good for him to mention the yllz being dead because that's how the novel starts.) cut to WWX's POV as he wakes up covered in blood and the investigation segment begins.

for investigations of monsters (goddess, saber, etc) the cutscene would be a scene of some poor throwaway cultivator getting their shit wrecked.

it would be cool to make a breakdown for JGY but again I need to review that scene cause I don't know who I'd base him on. maybe Vasquez or Dahlia.

tell me your thoughts!! i'm working off of a mdzs summary/ skimming the novel because i don't remember it too well so if i get anything wrong please yell at me

canonically mxtx has said that jiang cheng found the way wei wuxian constantly tried getting lan wangji's attention 'disturbing' because he'd use a higher pitched voice, like a flirtatious girl.

some people found that very homophobic of jiang cheng-- which it is, even if he didn't mean it viciously. others thought it was funny, because it is weird and cringe when your cool bro starts acting all gushy and romantic. personally i see it as a mixture of both, but with an additional lens of jiang cheng doesn't actually understand romantic or sexual attraction, even if it's heterosexual.

i think of him as the type of aro/ace who finds all of this type of thing abnormal. he found the way wei wuxian changed around lan wangji gross not only out of homophobia, not only because he's only seen wei wuxian as a cool martial brother who doesn't take on a girly role when flirting, but additionally because he has classic aro/ace perception issues around romance and sex.

it's not difficult at all to jiang cheng to "resist temptations" of a romantic or sexual nature, because he doesn't get attracted to people to begin with. combined with societal expectations of marriage and having kids for the family line, it's easier for him to think of himself as the "reasonable" one for never really stepping outside those bounds except in abstinence (voluntary or otherwise), and anyone different is a gross pervert succumbing to blah blah blah...

just an interesting intersection of explanations that makes it a bit more complicated than how it seems at first glance
