i'm apollo justice

i needed a side blog so i could ramble on about ace attorney dual destinies and not lose all my followers. THIS IS A SPOILER HEAVY BLOG I DON'T TAG EVERYTHING MY APOLOGIES.

[smugpollo]

this blog is dead but i feel like i need to make a dumb announcement for whoever sees this!!

i’m days away from starting orientation for law school, and then classes start the week after that.

I always had some interest in law, my grandpa was a lawyer and I thought what he did was interesting, but it seemed lame to admit that when I was younger. In middle school I remember pacing up and down the video game aisle of walmart, nothing new catching my eye, but I always picked up the ace attorney game that was on the shelf with clearance or other “lame” games not worth locking up.

I finally caved and bought it right before some 16 hour road trip the family was taking, I needed something to play.  I didn’t realize there were three of these lame games out at the time, so I started with trials and tribulations.  it was fun, it was funny, and I loved it.  I later found justice for all in a gamestop or something, and by that point I realized “oh i’m doing this backwards” and eventually found the first one online.  it was honestly kinda fun playing that way, accepting the characters at face value and uncovering more and more of their backstory along the way.

but now i was even more embarrass to admit i was interested in law, what if they thought i was just interested in it because of a silly video game?  it certainly heightened my interest, but it was never the root cause of my interest.  it pointed out flaws in a legal system that could be tied to real life flaws the cjs faces.  it did inspire me to look into reform efforts and theories currently in place and honestly just gave me some motivating characters to think of.

i love these stupid games so much, and i’m glad they pushed me a little further onto the path i want to be on.

Honestly the part where Apollo and Dhurke were stuck in the glowy cave was so great… so much awkward father son bonding ;_;

[smugpollo]

do i still need to tag for individual case spoilers or is the general “aa6 spoilers” tag enough?

[maiamaiden]

some of nahyuta’s concept designs just look like younger nahyutas so i like to pretend that that’s what nahyuta looked like as a teen specifically these:

somewhere back in the states, apollo gets the unexplained urge to cry

[incorrectaceattorney]

Apollo [lying awake at night]: I read somewhere that 1 in 4 people are gay. Apollo: That means at least one person in my friend group is gay. Apollo: …I hope it’s Clay, because Clay’s cute.

[vulpesaureus]

I’ve always been a little bothered by the fact that everyone talks about Apollo’s forehead but it doesn’t even look that big, so I took it upon myself to measure the foreheads of a bunch of characters and compare them to Apollo’s. Here are my conclusions (incomplete, because I didn’t include every single character of every single game for obvious reasons):

Characters who have less forehead than Apollo:

Trucy Wright

Phoenix Wright

Miles Edgeworth

Characters who have as much forehead as Apollo:

Ema Skye

Athena Cykes

Characters who have more forehead than Apollo (in ascending order):

Klavier Gavin

Maya Fey

Dhurke Sahdmadhi

Pearl Fey

Rayfa Padma Khura’in

Nahyuta Sahdmadhi

Juniper Woods

Nahyuta and Junie have big ass foreheads

Apollo’s forehead measures about 6cm, which is a pretty normal forehead size

KLAVIER GAVIN, THE ONE WHO NICKNAMED APOLLO “HERR FOREHEAD”, HAS MORE FOREHEAD THAN APOLLO

nahyuta exploding into rapid-fire khura’inese when he’s excited or angry and poor apollo trying to act as his translator with his fourth-grade textbook level khura’inese like “uh, um, should you continue on your current… uh, camel?? oh, path! a-and, you will descend into hell, and - jesus nahyuta, i’m not saying that - something something, fire, something… eat duct tape?? you putrid something, suffer eternally in, um, applesauce. i give up.”

Spirit of Justice in a nutshell:

[kilometresrufflefuck]

things that are canon in ace attorney (spirit of justice edition)

apollo instinctively cleans whenever he sees a mess because he’s the only one who cleans the WAA office

apollo’s father was a musician. apollo’s mother is also a musician. i’m not saying singing genes but singing genes

apollo and nahyuta used to run around in fields butt naked and get leeches on their butts

dhurke has photos of this

apollo and dhurke had an airplane vs bird argument very reminiscent of the stepladder vs ladder debate

maya informed phoenix that she had outgrown said debate. the two proceeded to have the debate anyway.

phoenix believes in apollo justice

apollo owns a red suit jacket

upon seeing said suit jacket, trucy recommended that he, phoenix, and athena start a stand-up comedy troupe named “primary colour punch-lines”

phoenix took a camera to khura’in and took photos of everything, like a dumb nerd

edgeworth missed phoenix while he was in khura’in and denied it vehemently, like a dumb nerd

edgeworth had his cravat attacked by a dog

apollo thinks edgeworth’s cravat is a strong fashion statement

phoenix believes in apollo justice

simon stood as athena’s co-counsel in court

athena has succeeded in co-ercing apollo into buying her juice four times in one month, just because he hates running and refuses to race her

phoenix never forgets to water charley, even though his desk is a mess

sometimes phoenix looks at charley and smiles

most of the law books in the WAA are magic books in disguise

apollo is actually trucy’s magic assistant (albeit a somewhat unwilling one)

the detention center guard is better than athena at trivia

apollo keeps manga on his desk because “manga these days are super realistic and informative. i need them for research…”

according to athena, apollo gets prickly whenever klavier gavin comes up

athena’s theory about said prickliness is that apollo hates klavier because he’s beautiful

ema skye is finally a forensic investigator!!

she gave up snackoos. unless she is stressed, and then she does not give up snackoos.

apollo thinks trucy’s smile has a magical power that make it impossible for him to say no

as a result apollo spent hours making a dragon prop for her show

apollo is afraid of heights

i mentioned that in a previous post but guys. it’s really important. he’s really afraid of heights. poor darling

he had to get athena to hold his hand while they were investigating a high place because he thought he might faint

when apollo was told to say something snappy to the camera, he pointed and yelled “T-talk to the hand! KA-POW!”

phoenix. believes in. apollo justice

athena said that simon looks like a panda

dhurke had a cactus named apollo

apollo can’t swim

athena and apollo call phoenix “the turnabout terror”

pearls calls apollo “mr apollo”

apollo calls maya “ms fey”

phoenix “ninja’d” some back medicine into his pocket

edgeworth got sentimental because he was investigating a case side by side with phoenix

he then got very offended when phoenix pointed this out

phoenix suggested that edgeworth dye his hair black

edgeworth got very offended at this too

the return of the NGHOOOOOH

ahlbi described “a guy with two crops of hair sticking out of his forehead like antennae” and “this lady with a long bunch of hair that looked like a big, orange spider leg” and phoenix immediately identified them as sounding like apollo and athena

athena later got very offended at being called “spider hair”

PHOENIX BELIEVES IN APOLLO JUSTICE

[smugpollo]

my brain is already fuzzy on a lot of dialog but i feel like at some point in case two, nahyuta mentions about what apollo will become in the next life and apollo thinks or response “but i don’t believe in that” or something to that effect

i wonder if he was ever religious, like if dhurke raised him in the religion of khu’rain and he eventually drifted away from it.

Ace Attorney Turns 15

If you thought today’s announcement of AA4 for smartphones came out of nowhere - well, that’s not quite right.  Today, October 12th, 2016, marks the 15th anniversary of the Ace Attorney series.

Nobody could’ve imagined that a quirky little mystery game with a single-digit staff count would still be going stronger than ever fifteen years later, with manga, anime, musicals, film, stage plays, and more in its wake.  The official AA 15th anniversary site has updated with celebratory notes from Japanese mystery writers and people connected to the series, as well as an overview of the series history thus far.

Happy birthday, Ace Attorney.  Here’s to many more.

i really like how that palette thing came out, but i wasn’t in love with the palette itself, so i recolored some bits of it. you should be able to see it bigger now, too. y-yay
