MOST DIFFICULT QUESTION EVER: Daryan or Apollo?

Haha, I guess I’ll have to choose Apollo then, right?! Not that I mind, I really like my dearest Herr Forehead ❤

It’s just… I miss my best friend.

((Bonus young!Klavier under the cut °3°))

He’s rather shy tho, you won’t ever catch him confirm that it’s true B)

[askgermanklavier]

KNEW IT! Your not telling the truth are you klavier? Because this little green trinket i got in my hand is telling us otherwise

A green little trinket… what is this curious thing you’re holding there?

Don’t tell me you have a similar strange truth-seeking technique, like Herr Forehead and Fräulein Cykes have, do you? Alright, show me your magic and rock this court room, baby! With evidence, of course!

Well, so he is, and I did not deny it, ja? I surely enjoy his company, and I am honored to call him my friend as well. And I will also not deny that his forehead is indeed a very charming feature of him, wouldn’t you agree?

Why am I…? Hör zu, just because I am…

I am still not quite sure what exactly you even want to prove. You know how we usually do this in the court room, ja? The burden of evidence lies with the defense - or in this case, those who want to prove my theory wrong. And I claim that Herr Forehead is a friend I admire, yet nothing more.

You have heard that he would li–??

Ach… und wie kommst Du darauf…?!

Did Daryan ever tell you that he loves you?

He’s always been a man of action rather than words, so that was a classic Daryan™. Of course he also couldn’t say a word when things cooled down between us, but I guess that’s just how he is. But words, that’s what I am here for, nicht wahr? ;D

wow. so uh, foreheads, am I right? foreheads are great, aren't they?

Though it’s probably not you, I suppose?

Funny story behind the whole “forehead” idea, though. Some of you might remember a certain case from about 8 years ago where foreheads were a huge deal. I’m talking about the murder of Magnifi Gramarye, of course. This case was the rise of a star and the fall of one, and eventually turned out to be connected to my brother’s misdeeds as well. Needless to say, this case continued to haunt me for many years. And when I first saw Apollo Justice - Herr Wright’s new “puppet” - I did not think too well of him, nor his forehead, which reminded me of my first case even more.

Aber trotzdem… I am honestly glad that this changed after I learned more about Herr Justice. By now, foreheads most definitely do no longer have a negative connotation for me ;)

What expects you at home after a long day at work?

I wanted to find a new home for her, but by now I am not sure if I want to give her away anymore.

Other than that… right now, there is nothing special waiting for me at my humble apartment. Except for my many, lovely guitars, of course ❤

Hey Klav! Did you grow your hair out because of Kristoph, or because of personal preference? :)

When I made a start as a prosecutor, I decided to grow it out to look both faboulous and more serious - like my brother - depending on the surroundings. By the time I realised it felt strange to try to be like someone I am not, this hair style had already become the “Gavin” hairstyle - the signature of a successfull attorney, and in my specific case also the peculiar hair style of the Gavinners’ band leader. Even thinking about changing my hair style felt like a betrayal to my fans.

But now that I feel like my life is finally beginning to fall back into place, I am considering to cut my hair again, like it was back when I began my career as a prosecutor. Even the remaining band members suggested it.

Maybe I will ask Herr Forehead as well what he thinks about this idea.

Are there any idioms that you miss in english or sound better in german?

Oh, there a quite a few idioms and proverbs in German that don’t translate well into English. I don’t necessarily miss them, but they are way more fun in my first language. We have quite a few idioms that have to do with animals or food, and ones that Germans love to translate in the worst possible way (My favourite example: “I think my pig whistles”. Never fails to amuse me).

Idioms I still sometimes use even though no one understands them (as they just don’t translate that well) are ones like “Ich versteh nur Bahnhof”. Literally “I only understand train station”, figuratively “I don’t understand a thing”. I still don’t know why it’s talking about train stations though… maybe I should actually google it for once. Huh… you never really think about the origins of some things you always say, oder…?

*literally “You can take poison on that” - means “you can bet your life on that”. Which… does not make it better in that certain context.

Hello Mr. Gavin, how do you do? As you seem like a very kind-hearted person, how do you keep yourself together when it comes to dealing with the more brutal crimes ( graphic photos, cases of torture etc.), as I'm sure you've had to deal with those?

I’m usually lucky enough to avoid the more brutal crime scenes. As I’m a prosecutor and not a detective, the crime scene is usually less gruesome by the time I get there. It’s the detectives I have to work with that usually have to deal with the worse parts of these brutal crimes - like seeing the actual bodies lying there in cold blood…

I can handle such cases, though I most definitely do not feel well afterwards. Ironically, the detective I currently work with is a lady who hates the sight of blood, yet somehow manages to keep a pokerface even better than mine. Detective Cross - some of you might remember her as a former member of the Gavinners - usually becomes really grumpy when she returns from the crime scenes, but she manages to pull through, so I try to do the same.

Luckily, I never had a case that dealt with brutal torture, though, because I’m not sure how I would handle these, um ganz ehrlich zu sein…

((To be fair, I wasn’t sure if I should post this for quite a while, but right now I thought: screw it, let’s post it anyways :’D I have my headcanons for the remaining 3 Gavinners members, and I love them, but I wasn’t sure if you’d like to see them appear in the asks :’))) Feel free to tell me if you want or don’t wanna have them appear!))
