Aw Hell Yeah

I was going to make an Ace Attorney as Vines video cause last month I had a big wave of motivation but then I just suddenly stopped- maybe I'll get back into it soon but have these two completed segments instead :3

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.

Playing AA2 is so much fun for me HEHEHEHEH

I'm in the final case of Justice For All, I really wanna see more Franziska cause after watching a bunch of videos she's really warmed up to me as a character.

She was kind of fun to doodle ngl

Turnabout Big Top is unanimously the worst case in the entire series, but you know what REALLY pisses me off about it?

IT COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD.

Like- GOSH, it's just. IT HAD SO MUCH GODDAMN POTENTIAL AND THEY RUINED IT!!! I WANT TO RIP MY HAIR OUT LISTEN;

- Flamboyant famous slightly haughty magician that's secretly Southern Farm Boy? I LIKE THIS. IM MAD THEY DIDNT DO MORE WITH THIS, THIS WAS A GOOD CHARACTER QUIRK!! his stage name being Max Galactica and his actual name being Billy Bob Johns?? NOT THAT BAD!!

- Ventriloquist man who's personality is almost opposite of what his puppet's is, and who Interacts directly with it? I GENUINELY ENJOYED THE BEN-TRILO SCENES! THE DYNAMIC WAS FUN!! (also Ben being unable to function without his puppet what is going on with this man) HE WAS AN INTERESTING CHARACTER!!

- Acro?? Acro. Like. up to this point in the ace attorney series we haven't had a culprit like him, someone who did what they did and SUPREMELY regrets it and understands that it was horrible etc etc and doesn't try to defend their crimes whatsoever because they KNOW it was a horrible thing to do; I THINK ACRO IS INTERESTING!!

- HINTS OF MILES AND WHAT HAPPENED?? PHEONIX+FRANZISKA GRIEF?? tired asf gumshoe?? (we don't talk about his "dead body, stage left" line enough)

BUT THEN THEY TURNED AROUND AND

- The stupid fucking love triangle good god this is the worst part I'm going to vomit Regina is 16 AND IT. EUGHHH. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THE WRITERS FOR THIS, SERIOUSLY, THEY HAD THESE INTERESTING CHARACTERS AND INSTEAD OF EXPANDING ON THEM they made them fucking predators I just. god.

- REGINA IS A FUCKING CHILD, WHO HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD, AND THE NARRATIVE IS TRYING TO FRAME ACRO KILLING HER AS.. SYMPATHETIC?????? (Imo I think it makes Acro's grief more fascinating, and exploring his mental state is super interesting, but I know a lot of people have qualms with this, which I understand. Like. WTF Acro???)

- the stupid goddamn solution to the case good lord it was so dumb. so.. so fucking CONSEQUENTIAL. like. GOD.

TLDR; I hate Big Top because it could have been a genuinely interesting case, but it was ruined for such SMALL reasons that really had no positive????? like. getting rid of the bad stuff and replacing them w/ other things (Max and Ben could still have a rivalry ffs especially considering how vindictive Trilo is) and like??? HHHH. sorry I just hate how dirty this case was done there's so much good shit but the bad shit is just so... bad..

my flaming hot but also niche ace attorney take is that i do not think april may was a manipulative conviving gaslight gatekeep yas queen girlboss. she was not doing any of those crimes based on her own free will. she was terrified of being murdered by her boss. like, textually. she's not putting on that ditsy sexy persona for shits and gigs and to Scam Men For Fun she's putting on that persona to avoid getting murdered by her incredibly powerful employer. the day we acknowledge that april may was not a willing accomplice is the day i can rest.

I absolutely love Mimi Miney as a character she's one of my many favorite culprits

Will you lose yourself in your grief?

I feel like no one takes about these tragic sisters man. I feel like both mimi and iris have to deal with looking like their dead sisters for the rest if their lives and absolutely no one talks about it

Okay, I love Edgeworth as much as the next guy, but would it kill him to be fairer to Gumshoe?? Sure, he can be goofy, but you couldn't ask for a more loyal right-hand man. Dude does so much work completely UNBIDDEN, out of his own sense of duty, and all Edgeworth (or anyone, really) does in return is go "uhh do you have a life".

Ffs at least pay him enough so that he can eat something other than a cup of instant noodles for every meal?? Like, jeez Miles, you know full well this guy is struggling to stay afloat while you're out here flying in private jets and you STILL keep threatening to lower his salary even more whenever he happens to annoy you.

"his monetary worth is tied directly to his worth to me" what do you mean by that bro. What do you mean by that

Is it normal to be so obsessed with a ship that you literally feel like your chest is squeezing itself and your stomach is filled with butterflies?

Like- I was reading trough so many threads about the Jap version of Ace Attorney and oh my god. These two have literally the best dynamic I've yet to see in this series (I'm still on the second game but sometimes I can't help myself with new interests)

GUMSHOE ALWAYS FUCKING CHECKS UP ON HIM DURING EARTHQUACKES, THEY BOTH TRUST EACHOTHER THE MOST OUT OF ANYONE EVEN IF THEY CANT COMMUNICATE WELL AND GUMSHOE IS ALWAYS BY EDGEWORTHS SIDE NO MATTER WHAT. If that's not true love I don't know what is.
