Klapollo Week Day 1: Confessions

just reached 17 followers while watching 17 Again, life is good

I saw this post by @kindafooey in the #billford tag, and simply HAD to make something for this.

The idea of giant Bill poking Fordsy like this was too perfect. The finger is pretty much traced from “Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part III: The Rebellion Story”, but all the Ford animation was by me. Yes, it took a long time, haha.

I hope you like it, kindafooey! It was a blast to make!

Narumitsu Fanfic Recs

Hey friends! I made a post around a year ago now(?) about a google doc I made, compiling my favorite niche narumitsu / wrightworth fics! That post has been long buried, and I see some people looking for fic recs in the tag as of late. Look no further! In the replies will be Taffy’s Narumitsu Fic Rec Masterlist™ for your viewing pleasure! (the doc is read-only and anon is on, so no worries about anyone seeing your email or anything. enjoy!)

you wouldn't download a limited edition ace attorney christmas sweater from 2016

pattern adapted from this post by @acerunaway from original design by nina matsumoto/space coyote :))

cross stitch pattern + fcjson here bc i don't gatekeep + other notes under the read more!

for 3852 in the pattern, i actually used some of my light effects threads, E3852, for that sparkly feel. i couldn't find a reliable source on what the closest non-light effect equivalent is, and flosscross wouldn't let me put in light effects, so i just left it as 3852.

i stitched this with 10 count aida and 4 strands. if you want to make this on a sweatshirt, make your own measurements accordingly & make sure it fits and has good coverage.

i stitched this similarly to the original sweatshirt in that the navy background fills in the dark areas on the design itself (like maya and nick’s hair and nick’s suit) so you don’t have to stitch them. if you want a lighter color sweatshirt, keep this in mind & modify the design accordingly

i played with the colors a bit from the original design (fun fact edgeworth’s suit is the closest dmc thread color i could find to b00b69, and maya’s outfit is also modified from a funny hex code but i don’t remember which one). if you want to make changes, you can go to flosscross.com, import the fcjson file in the google drive folder, and make whatever modifications you want <3

please do not sell this pattern for money or put it on mass-produced merch as the design is not originally mine or acerunaway’s! on that note i encourage you to support the original artist nina matsumoto/space coyote; she has a ton of cool video game merch (including ace attorney) available through fangamer. i myself have the ace attorney desk mat on my desk at work and have gotten a lot of compliments on it from my coworkers

So im having an Ace Attorney and Greek Mythology hyperfixation and that has led me to try and merge the two. Which. Has actually been quite fun as ive been learning what gods/goddeses have been used to represent law in ancient greece. But due to. The sheer mass of mythology at my hands. I find myself battleing to pick for some characters. Lets go over the gods associated with Law

Firstly Themis. A titan. Basically the god of law/the ruler of it. However themis often pertained to divine law, rather than human law.

Dike is the god of justice, aka the very concept of righteous justice and was associated with the justice system. Represented often by the scales and beating up her rival

Astraia is the goddess of the innocent and the pure. Representing hope and often lawful behavior. The law side of her representation comes from her being a protector of true innocence. She was also one of the last people to stick with the humans before leaving. Its says she'll come back and bring hope back to the innocent one. Her and dike are so intertwined mythos wise sone sources say they are the same goddess. But many say they are just closely associated (since they are the virgo and libra constellations, details on which is which are mixed. But its overall just the idea that justice and innoence go hand in hand

Zeus in all technically is the god of righteousness and was talked about in tandem with law alot. But. It was more so divine law. Or more accurately his law.

Poine is the daemon of retribution, retaliation, and punishment for the crime of murder and man slaughter. Said in many cases to be the mother of the furies.

The furies were also used in law pretty frequently but more as a symbol of the justice being actively served. Aka torture. So not really the lawyer lol

Nomos was basically the personification of law. Often an epithet or aspect of zeus. Said to be married to Eusebeia (the spirit of loyality, duty, and familial respect. Sometimes these two are portrayed as the parents of Dike

Nemesis is the goddess of righteous revenge. However, she is used mostly in tales of relationship conflict rather than law. But ethier way, shes said to be similar to dike but is a more aggresive form.

So. My conflict is mainly edgeworths pick (yes remember this post is also about ace attorny). Phoneix im like 70% sure i want as Astraia since hes kinda like. The laywer for the hopeless and innocent despite all odds. So because of that i could make edgeworth dike. To do the whole "omg theyre not so different afterall" thing. And dike is usually painted beating the shit out of her opposite adikea(injustice) imagine i make injustice von karma than i can draw edgeworth beating him with a hammer

But also. Poine is so. On the nose it feels perfect. It feels a bit colder than the dike who is often confused with the protector of innocence. Plus. Art wise. It becomes way easier to give them different looks lol

However. Making dike Phoniex and nemesis edgeworth could be interesting considering nemesis is often considered her more aggressive or cold side since it leans harder into punishing the evil over protecting the innocent.

Gumshoe is hermes. No question. Hermes is called law loving all the time and is the runner boy for zues. Make Damon Gant Zues and BOOM its perfect

Themis being the judge amuses me greatly since themis is more in the domain of inforcinf zueses law. Which again. Damon gant as zues makes that perfect

Much to think about

if I wrote a dystopian novel where the corrupt evil megacorporation that controls society has a fucking smirk for a logo, my editor would tell me to use a less heavy-handed metaphor

Hey umm do you guys remember the scene where Halt muttering something but the words he mumbles don't make any sense to Horace I bet its because he was muttering in Hibernian so his own language

Because I can swear when he was unconscious he was saying whatever he was muttering in his mother language because his brain didn't translate it into the common language

ok so what if when edgeworth gets to the hospital in bridge to the turnabout they won’t let him in unless he’s next of kin so he lies and says he’s phoenix’s…..partner, so later when he says “I leave the rest in your capable hands…… partner,” he’s actually making a joke

what did he mean by this
