I Like To Imagine His Hachimaki Reflects His Mood Like A Dog Tail

my name's apollo justice and i'm having a familial crisis

inspired by this post 🤭🤭🤭🤭

i think more ace attorney ship content should use court related courtship puns. like it's right there. arguably it's low-hanging fruit but it's funny low-hanging fruit

klavier, in the defendant's lobby specifically to bother apollo: mind if i court you, herr forehead? apollo: fuck you and go to hell

projecting my trauma onto fictional characters /j

Defend your country, Phoenix!

You know, at first I wasn't sold on the whole poker thing, but thinking about it, it really makes sense that that game would be what Phoenix ends up spending so much of his time on.

Phoenix's whole life can honestly be described by 'being dealt bad cards all night but still managing to win'. Time and time and time again he has had setback after setback happen to him and he has had to manage to come out on top of it somehow. He even mentions that it's not unlike being in court, that it's all about reading people.

I think Phoenix started playing poker after his disbarment not just because he's good at it, but because it comforted him, in a way. I think part of it is the sense of agency it gave him, especially in a situation where he didn't have much, but also...

He says it himself, it reminded him of court.

Playing poker might've been his only other way to retain the feelings he felt when he was still cross-examining witnesses. It was his best bet of keeping that same fire burning, all those years, even if not as brightly. It wasn't the same, but I think it shows how much his job meant to him, to the point that it's very hard to seperate from who he is.

You can take the man from the courtroom, but you can't take the courtroom from the man, and all that

Honorable mentions to Mel, frisk, and Kris

I see everyone talk about the silly Klapollo/Gavinners interactions but what about the angsty ones, where because Apollo is dating Klavier (a celebrity) he's constantly under the same microscope Klavier’s under by Gavinners fans?

What about the interactions where someone on whatever Ace Attorney's version of Twitter is says something like "I don't get why Klavier would date the most average defense attorney ever, he could have literally anyone"?

What about Klavier, Phoenix, and/or Trucy having to restrict Apollo's access to social media because some of the shit Gavinners fans say about his relationship with Klavier get to him so bad?

I personally think it'd be "Klavier could have literally anyone he wanted" comments that would get to Apollo the most. Klavier could have anyone he wanted, and he chose Apollo, and seeing people bring it up as a "Klavier Gavin deserves better" type argument would kill Apollo. The only thing preventing him from a full-on breakdown is how defensive Klavier gets of him.

Like obviously there are Klapollo shippers in the Gavinners fandom, and I don't think either of them mind that. But statistically speaking, with how popular the Gavinners are, there are, almost guaranteed, people who would hate it if Klavier and Apollo started dating, whether because they think Klavier could do better or because they ship Klavier and Daryan or something.
