That Rolling Stone Article About Chappell Roan... The Bits About The Shit She Went Through Are Already

April May: a fan backstory.

Ah yes. This is my attempt to make an one-off character who showed up once in the entire series and never appeared again an actually likeable character. And yes, I know there are one-off characters who are actually likeable, but its cause they at least have a personality.

April May doesn't. She's just horny bait. And despite the fact that I hate pink, her design is pretty okay. So I decided to make her at least a bit more likeable by giving her a minimally decent backstory.

So let's start with the fact that she's pretty young, like, college age. I feel like she'd be interested in fashion and modeling. And to help her pay the college rent, she sent out numerous job applications. She has quite a few talents, namely her singing and sewing, but her most notorious trait is her charisma. I don't think she is that flirty by nature, it's probably just a persona she created so she could lure men into doing whatever she wanted, but honestly, I don't think she created that persona purely because she wanted to. Prior to her job at Bluecorp, I think she was mostly herself, with some flirty comments here and there but not in abundance. She was pretty kind and chill. There was no pressure into being a flirty character at all times.

And then she was called to a job interview, and accepted as a secretary at Bluecorp. She was tricked into thinking it was a "detective agency of sorts", and during her first days, her job was pretty normal. But then, the company's true colors started revealing to her. Until one day, where she was personally called to the CEO's office, and could finally meet her boss in person.

He answered all of her questions with that bright smile and loud voice of his, which we're all familiar with, and he explained that Bluecorp was, in fact, a blackmail company. She attempted to fire herself, but now that she knew the truth, there was no way back. They already knew everything about her, and if she attempted to reveal everything to the police, all of her personal information would be leaked. She had no choice but to stay, forever a subordinate to Redd White.

He knew that her physical appearance could deceive many people into trusting their company, so he forced her to create a persona, the flirty and charming persona we all know. From there, she was never able to be herself anymore. They absued of her beauty and natural charisma to lure more victims into their company, and she couldn't do anything about it but oblige.

When the Mia Fey case happened, she felt bad for the murder of an innocent woman and having to accuse her younger sister of a crime she didn't commit, but worse of all, the was being obligated to commit a crime herself. We all know what happened there. When Phoenix exposed her crime of wiretapping, she exploded, and got super mad at him, to the point of refusing to tell him anything even in prison.

But to be honest... I don't necessarily think she was just mad at him. She was also... scared. Scared for both Phoenix of herself. Scared of her boss, who she now knee was capable of even murder. Even if she was already in prison, she was scared of what could happen to her. She was scared for Phoenix and what could happen to him, because her boss wasn't really just any opponent. And when she saw him in the detention center that night, she couldn't say she was surprised. She knew that would happen.

What she didn't expect to happen was for him to not only defend himself, but also finally expose her boss' true self. For him and that woman to expose every single one of his crimes. Redd White was finally taken down. And even though she was in prison, she finally felt free. She could be herself again, she no longer hated Phoenix, as he was the one resposible for making White finally confess. Now, I don't think she would have a very long sentence for perjury and wiretapping, so in probably less than 10 years she would finally be released from jail.

And speaking of that, since Redd White was much more dangerous and his crime list was enormous, he was sent to a different penitentiary, one with much higher security, so she wouldn't have to deal with him during her time in jail.

I assume by the time of Spirit of in 2028, she would have been released already. I think she would either have a modeling agency or would work in a fancy clothes shop, following her previous dreams of studying fashion and/or being a model.

+ BONUS: Relationship with Mimi Miney

Personally one of my favorite F/F Ace Attorney couples. They have so much in common. They both had shitty bosses, they both attempted to frame Maya Fey (lol), and headcanon wise, they both had a tragic past and regretted their actions. And recently, I saw an official artwork of April as a nurse (and incredibly enough, it wasn't even all that sexualized, she looked like a normal nurse) and as we all know, Mimi is a former nurse. Even though Mimi's crimes were much more severe and their relationship is doomed to fail, they can at least give it a try. After all, most of my OTPs are doomed couples anyways :')

And they make the lesbian flag together.

I swear to god this game is absolutely gorgeous, I am obsessing over these pictures 💚🧡💜

LOOK AT THE ANGLESSS !!!

i love you visible brushstrokes. i love you glue warped scrapbook pages. i love you awkward poems. i love you junk journal with faded receipts. i love you poorly composed journal layout. I love you unintentionally blurry photographs. i love you asymmetrical beading. i love you curling freeform crochet. i love you fingerprints on pottery. i love you reused materials. i love you improvised instruments. i love you mistakes. i love you bravery to make it anyway. i love you creativity that hasn't been wiped clean of every drop of humanity and sanitized and commodified.

Wanted to try and make an updated look for G3 Ghoulia as well as a lil playset concept for her. I wanted to try a look inspired by her g1 look as well as try a sorta different color scheme. I want to see more gamer ghoul Ghoulia, she should be a Screamer (streamer)

Uncle Gumshoe!

WHY DO I DOODLE SOMETHING AND THEN JUST PUT SO MUCH EFFORT INTO IT-

I can't even properly explain how much I love Farewell, my Turnabout. It's a fucking MASTERPIECE of a case!! The characters are especially a big part of why I adore it. I WAS GENUINELY SO STRESSED OUT AND THE BAD ENDING FUCKING BROKE ME.

The interactions in this case are so fun and engaging. Idk how to express my love for it in text. (Also Adrian Andrews is the best side character I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.)

I just reminded myself while getting back into my puppet phase that I genuinely love the ENTIRE CONCEPT of the Turnabout Big Top characters, I just wish they were done better. I'm not gonna get too in depth cause it's night and I'm small brained BUT!!!

For example: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEN AND TRILO AS A CONCEPT!! An anxiety ridden preformer who can only express themselves through a character they play as which is a complete parallel to them?? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT!! The execution? Eeeeeeeehhhhh...

Yes 3-2 might be one of the lowest 3rd cases in the franchise for MANY reasons..I can't deny that I don't ENTIRELY hate the case, it just couldve been better. I'm a BIG circus guy and I was so exited to see all of the characters!! (I still wanna throw hammers at Max and Ben but my point still stands <3)

Here's some doodles from when I finished the case to cleanse the mind :] (Can you guess who my favorite is?-)

this is one full piece but split cause I took separate pics
