"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING IN SHIBUYA?!"

lowkey poetic writing sickfics while being sick myself

"here, your vip seat," rin says as kaiser is infront of them half sitting on the ground...

seriously though, one of the best (and pretty unique all things considered) prosecutors!! legit ready to sell my soul just to have a klavier investigations game

Playing AA 5-3 right now (Turnabout Academy) and I was so genuinely delighted when Klavier showed up. He's such a friendly good boy. Athena asks if he'll help them and he's like "of course but you didn't need to ask, I actually came here specifically to help you." He's an australian shepherd of a person and one of these days I'm going to do a long character breakdown on him and why he's so darn loveable.

APOLLO IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FIVE FOOT FOUR INCHES BABYGIRL WITH HIS HORNS BEING FOUR INCHES THEMSELVES!! THIS IS INJUSTICE

Another random thing thats driving me crazy for no reason!!!

does apollo look weird in this picture or is the sleep deprivation getting to me???

as the post mentions, he's taller than athena and (with horns) the same height as phoenix??

second thing, why is his head so big?? not even just the forehead like his whole head looks too big??

ive been staring at this image for a solid 5 minutes comparing their proportions and the other two are fine but like apollo is all out of whack for some reason??

REACHED MY 100 KUDOS MILESTONE!!! YIPPEEEEEEEEE

CHAT HEAR ME OUT

imagine a fyolai art: fyodor behind nikolai (to make it easier let's imagine kolya sitting and fedya standing behind him). Fyodor is holding Nikolai's eyepatch thing (? I forgot what its called) which is broken in half, while Nikolai holds Fyodor's arms

what tf does this mean, you may ask. well!

(ch 121 spoilers) we saw fyodor tear the page, but there is a popular theory that it wasn't actually the book page, so we can say that the act was a farce. when we see fyodor doing the same here, its showing how nikolai's attempt at freedom (by killing fyodor back in Meursalt) was nothing but a farce (planned out by fyodor).

now, why would Nikolai be holding Fyodor's arms, you may ask. well, I imagine kolya holding them in the way a prisoner holds the bars to their cage. this is pretty self explanatory with reference to the fyolai dynamic

so I imagine fyodor serving face and Nikolai looking... Well. Uneasy. His eyepatch, which he used as an on switch for his fake persona, is broken; so showing himself in his entirety would be odd to him naturally.

someone draw this I'm actually going crazy rn. I was gonna but I gotta sleep and ain't no way I'll have motivation in the morning (also soz for the irregular punctuation I'm like half asleep i think)

update after having read book two; OKAY maybe warner isn't that bad

Today I learnt what a Casanova was. Literal poetry, you're so right omg 😭😭

soo I've finally reached the part in the manga where kaiser is introduced, and..

...they are so gay oh my god. like, I was expecting fruitiness but dear lord kaiser isn't even HIDING IT. how do people consider them straight what I'm so flabbergasted holy shit

The Athena von Karma Theory

Most people already know about Manfred von Karma’s granddaughter- she’s seven years old at the time of AA1, has a dog named Phoenix, and mostly just exists so Manfred can make a point about Polly the parrot.

But I can’t help wondering just who exactly this granddaughter is- or if we’ve already met her. And there seems to be one person in particular who stands out as a candidate for this granddaughter… Athena Cykes. I might sound crazy now, but hear me out.

We know from a mock interview that Franziska von Karma has an older sister, the mother of this elusive granddaughter. Now, assuming the family follows traditional naming conventions, that means whoever this granddaughter is, she doesn’t have the von Karma name, but her father’s name. It also means that Franziska’s sister doesn’t necessarily use the von Karma name anymore.

We also know that this granddaughter was born around 2009- and is therefore the exact same age as Athena. We can also assume that she was raised in Japanifornia during this time (a more obvious connection in Japanese, as the dog is named “Ryu”- a name that an American child would be unlikely to come up with.)

On Athena’s part, there is the fact that she has family in Europe, close enough to her that she moved to live with them. There is also the fact that Phoenix encountered her there; and, since Phoenix would have been travelling Europe with Edgeworth at the time, it makes sense that she met Phoenix at the von Karma household. How they met in canon has never been properly explored, so this explanation is as good as any other.

Finally, we have the fact that Athena is, by all rights, a legal and lingual prodigy. She is fluent in several European languages, took the bar exam incredibly young, and is the youngest attorney in the series to date. All of this makes sense if she’s from an old European family filled with legal geniuses.

So essentially, the theory goes that Metis Cykes is Franziska’s older sister. Metis got briefly married and had Athena, thus making Athena the mysterious granddaughter. Then, when Metis died, Athena moved to Germany to live in the von Karma household, presumably with her grandmother and/or Franziska; there, she learned her assorted languages, met Phoenix while he was visiting the household with Edgeworth, and decided to study law to save Simon, taking advantage of the von Karmas’ legal resources/connections (as well as her own talent) to pass the bar at eighteen.

(Not to mention, it would make one hell of a springboard for Franziska to come back into the series, and to explore the disbarment era a little more. That’s some prime drama fuel right there, and it’s exactly the kind of thing Ace Attorney would do for a twist.)

Obviously it’s a bit of a stretch as theories go, and I’m not by any means suggesting that it’s canon. But it’s a very fun concept, and it has the potential for a lot of good storytelling.

spent the whole day drawing this instead of studying for my science exam, 10/10 would do again

This is kinda how I view Dazai and Ranpo's dynamic

I need to see someone draw this.
