extremely underrated subgenre of tumblr post: when someone makes a general statement about something, and another person offers a counter-statement that's just completely nonsensical, and the OP just agrees instantly even if it makes no sense at all

Finally got around to draw a comic with them <3
Looking at Klavier's canon 7 Years Ago vs Present Day designs, I do love the decision to smooth out his silhouette as an adult.
Where he once was jagged all over, he's now refined his look into a few sharp points.
He goes from cargo pants tucked into combats boots to slim-fit pants over boots with subtler tread. The collar pops less drastically. His longer hair keeps the sharp elements but within that smooth silhouette.
His blazer adds that eyecatching purple, replaces the kitschier elements of the top (the gold Gs & shoulder studs), smooths out the sleeves, and unifies the color scheme with its breast pocket.
It all reflect his maturity while still retaining key elements of his aesthetic: the silver chain-type jewelry, sharp hair, and purples. In fact, it adds a level of intentionality & emphasis to what stays. His hair even has a yin and yang shtick going on with his Gavinners emblem.

cunt dracula:
the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore
who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”
at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it
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
“Mia Fey, my love….”
I literally get brainrot about these guys
Ford Pines and Laios Touden my beloved autistic men
I fucking hate James Tissot’s paintings because in ALL OF THEM there is ALWAYS someone staring right at you, but it’s not always immediately visible. You just feel watched by this mf. Sometimes the little shit is right there at the centre, but others the bastard is just gazing from the distance, it is CREEPY, my guys
