This Is Kristoph’s Drag Name Btw

RAHHHHHH!!!! 🗣‼❕🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼❕

the surge of antis is probably why the fandom has went into this direction; most antis don't even understand what 'proship' *means* in the first place

proshippers: those who don't harass other people for their ships. if they find a place (say a fic, blog, art, etc) in which their OTP is not present, they simply *scroll past*, instead of going after the artist in question. it *does NOT* mean that you wish to see these contents in real life. being a proshipper implies that you either,

1. enjoy (FICTIONAL) sensitive topics (violence, incest, etc)

2. not particularly find the above topics good to watch/read, but apply the principle of 'don't like, don't read' (or view, watch, etc)

as a proshipper you can be on either end of the spectrum, or even the middle---some people are okay with one type of sensitive topic, while icky with another, and that's *okay*. but being a proshipper means that you let people have fun in their spaces and, as said before, don't harass them

antis are the complete opposite; they usually have a 'holier than thou' attitude, and oftentimes don't take kindly to topics they are sensitive about. in ace attorney, as you said, this shows in ships in which people can headcannon a sibling-esque relationship (narumayo, athena and simon, etc), or just be outwardly against incest relationships like kristoph and klavier.

it's *okay* not to ship, but to not allow those who enjoy this (fictionally) is just ridiculous. main reason I'm on tumblr instead of twitter; the latter is just infested with antis and don't let anyone have a fun time

thank you for reading my rant xD

It makes me sad when I look at Ace Attorney fandom stuff from 10-15 years ago and see how much more comparatively chill and accepting they were of different ships from the most popular ones back then. It wasn’t perfect or free of discourse, obviously, but at least fans could mostly get away with shipping that stuff without getting called horrible people, unlike today where the Ace Attorney fandom is determined to bully anyone who dare ship the Unacceptable Stuff™️ out of the fandom (ESPECIALLY on aatwt my goodness). I know this isn’t just me because I’ve seen even certain older fans note this and say stuff like “Wow I’ve been in the Ace Attorney fandom for years and back then there used to be so many Narumayos and ppl who shipped so-and-so in het I’m so glad these are no longer acceptable we’ve come so far” WRONG. The fandom has turned into a hivemind who think it’s acceptable to unperson others over ships and will sooner sympathize with one who harasses another over a Bad Ship than the one getting harassed because how dare they ship outside the sacred stuff. You really think it’s a good thing the AA fandom environment has gotten tyrannical about what you’re allowed to ship? Old Ace Attorney Shipping Fandom was FAR from perfect, but if your reasons for why it was bad or worse than now are “ships I dislike were allowed to exist” hoooooo boy.

i know tumblr doesn't have as many people from india, but to my fellow brothers and sisters i wish a happy independence day :))

"You are to be my bride."

I BEG YOUR FINEST FUCKING PARDON?!

YOU'RE TELLING ME LAUREN ROBERTS LEFT IT AT THAT???? oh my plagues I don't think I can wait until April for the next book because HOLY FUCKING SHIT

welp, time to merily hop to ao3 to read some post canon fics!

wake up bitch!!! its 2009 rn!!! XP

A hypothetical new AA main game should

not include Wright, be an actual continuation for AA4, be played in Kristoph's POV and tell the Gavin brothers' story, flesh out Kristoph's relationships with Apollo and Klavier, show how it happened that he became Apollo's mentor, maybe the first episode being Kristoph's first trial.

And if there would be a spin off, it would be great if it were played in Klavier's POV. Come on, guys. Klavier deserves better than being reduced to what they did to him in DD.

BAHAHA avoid is so mood

me when I take a break from the battlefield (exam studying) to visit my husband (ao3) only to find him in a coma (site down)

i firmly believe that kristoph was a better boss to apollo than phoenix. every time phoenix doesnt tell him something or messes with him or doesnt give him his paycheck he has to stop himself from mumbling under his breath like 'mr gavin didnt do this shit mr gavin took me for lunch at the sushi place by the office and didnt even make me pay'. apollo genuinely considering trying to get a retrial to get kristoph out of jail in turnabout corner making a pros and cons list in his head while delivering that 'white powder' like this shit is not worth it

me getting ready to listen to Who The Hell Is Edgar? whole day long

No joke, my dream mainline AA final entry (whether that be AA7 or later) is not one that simply brings back all the beloved living characters from past entries who’ve disappeared (Gumshoe, Franziska, Kay, etc.) I want it to lean hard into the concept of spirit channeling in order to bring back all the former big bads (Dahlia, Manfred, Kristoph, Phantom, etc.) but also the lost loved ones (Gregory, Mia, Clay, Jove, Dhurke, Metis, etc.) for an all-out, true send-off to the mainline series.

It’s Ace Attorney! It can be ridiculous; the stakes get stupidly higher with each game anyway! Let’s say Maya senses there’s havoc being wrecked in the spirit world, and she channels Mia to discover that something has gone terribly awry with Judgment and now everyone who’s ever died in the series is stuck in purgatory, unable to move on into either Heaven or Hell (or whatever equivalent there is in the world of Ace Attorney).

Mia and some other spirits who dealt with justice systems in life (whom we later discover to be the likes of Gregory Edgeworth, Dhurke Sahdmadhi, and Godot) are trying to sort it out, but they simply can’t do it on their own—so Mia is reaching out to the world of the living for help. Now all the main living characters—Phoenix, Apollo, Athena, Maya, Ema, Miles, Gumshoe, Klavier, Simon, Nahyuta, Franziska, everyone—have to team up to help their loved ones find peace and ensure their enemies face justice in the Beyond.

Like, can you imagine what an amazing emotional mess this could be? Miles having to face his father after all the mistakes he made in his life, and them working together to send Manfred to literal hell (and just think about how Franny fits into this dynamic). Apollo and Phoenix needing to unlock Kristoph’s black psychelocks, digging up all the Gavin family skeletons, and requiring Klavier’s help to do it. Simon and Athena and Metis and the actual Bobby Fulbright having to unmask the Phantom for real. The list goes on.

It’s pipe dream, but I’m foaming at the mouth just thinking about it.
