I love all three (Krispollo, Justwright and Krispollonix), too, haha. What made you ship them?

I love unbalanced power dynamics, especially dark ones. Both Kristoph and Phoenix are older than Apollo, and also veteran lawyers, so whether he's with one of them or both of them, it's still mentor/mentee.

What we know of Kristoph's personality, it's very controlled, calculated, he wants things done his way. Apollo at this point in his life is naive and bright-eyed about becoming a lawyer, and I just love the idea of Kristoph treating him and kicking him like a dog. We know Kristoph is a dog person, after all.~

Kristoph would be the type to gaslight Apollo any time he abuses him. After all, he's got such a high reputation and the justice system in his pocket, and he's so intelligent and articulate, it would be pretty difficult for Apollo to make a case of any kind against him prior to the events of the game. This may or may not lead to idolization in a relationship that develops with Apollo viewing Phoenix as his savior if we're following canon's timeline.

And who couldn't love Apollo's fanboy crush he's had on Phoenix since his teens? Phoenix would be downright flattered if Apollo ever admitted the full extent of it. Phoenix's personality is warm and caring, in contrast to Kristoph's, it's paternal. It could be daddy kink depending on preferences, but it could also just be an age gap that two adults have consented to. Phoenix would be way more respectful of Apollo's boundaries and helping him learn when and how to say no.

The idea of the three of them coexisting somehow harmoniously is difficult to imagine within the canon context. ( Which, I'm totally open to AUs, but I'm talking based on their canon personalities. )

Kristoph and Phoenix have the type of relationship with each other that screams spiteful hate-fuck buddies at best. So the idea of them sharing Apollo or committing to each other in any form seems unlikely.

But I do love the prospect of Apollo being fought over by them, or even the idea of an AU of Phoenix trying to save Apollo from Kristoph, maybe with Phoenix giving himself to Kristoph instead? Stuff like that.

Re: learning arithmetic functions before moving onto higher maths. I can't speak to children specifically, but I have dyscalculia which prevented me from ever really getting arithmetic down. I only started excelling in math when I got to higher maths where the actual number wasn't as important as applying problem solving skills.

So at least for me, not having counting and arithmetic down solidly didn't exclude me from doing well in high school math, and I even quite enjoyed it once I got to that level.

Oh, that's interesting!

A lot of higher maths does still require knowing the rules of arithmetic though - the only area I can think of that you might be able to make do without them in is Euclidean geometry? - so is it applying them to numbers specifically that made it harder, and applying them in a more abstract context was easier?

The best comparison I can think to draw here is to grammar - you need some basic knowledge of it to communicate anything more complex, but the natural way of learning isn't to sit down and learn the rules of grammar but to pick it up as you learn to express more complex things, and personally I find the part of learning a new language where you explicitly learn the rules of grammar tedious and unpleasant and very hard to apply correctly, but I can learn those same rules decently from context. Do you think arithmetic is similar?
