I understand why people think Manfred would be bigoted but honestly I think it would be significantly funnier if he just. Wasn’t. Someone calls him homophobic in court and he’s immediately like “I?? The great prosecutor Von Karma, blinded by the biases of lesser men? I fight only for justice and the holy fire of retribution, how dare you insinuate that I am beholden to the fallacies of the wretched” and everyone immediately tunes out his self-aggrandizement bc they’re just flabbergasted by von karma supporting gay rights
drawn for day 1: confessions for klapollo week 2023
like this art? it's a print, here! | like what i do? support me on ko-fi!
hello there!!! happy klapollo week!!!! this'll be the only thing i'll draw for it bc i'm what? BUSY AND TIRED!!!
ahem, anyways, this one gave me such a struggle bc i futzed around with the colors a lot bc i didn't know what i wanted it to look like ASKSK in the end, i'll always come back home to ourple
so yea, i always pictured them confessing in their mid-30's or smth. the story/vision for this one is that klavier visits apollo and khura'in and uh-oh! some things are starting to become undeniable and it's starting to get difficult to pretend that they don't have feelings for each other! (especially on apollo's side)
so here goes klavier, about to leave and he visits apollo in his office before he heads back to japanifornia. but then- BAM! "I LIKE YOU!" huh!?!?!?! how surprising! i wonder what happens next ....

ok enough blabbing, i'm a bit sad that i'm not able to complete this week like i did last year bc oops! depression so afsfgdhd c'est la vie or something. y'all can still get your fill from the other amazing creators for this week, so hey! <3
First Images from Takarazuka's The Great Ace Attorney Musical
First images of the Great Ace Attorney Musical production put on by Takarazuka! The first official showing is in eleven hours of me making this post, so hopefully there will be some more photos then. In the meantime, I've found this article, which is where the above pictures are from.
I'm still tragically reliant on google translate, but from what I can tell, the article also reports that the first act involves Sholmes helping out Ryunosuke when he's being asked to return to Japan on the orders of Hart Vortex/Mael Stronghart. There is a scene in the second act that involves Ryunosuke walking through the audience, and the article states the highlight of the show is the "Objection!" in the courtroom battle between Ryunosuke and van Zieks.
There should be more information as the performances officially begin, and I will do my best to report on those as fast as possible for anyone who's interested.
Most important reason you should watch the ace attorney stage plays: this. Someone mentioned it on this post and I scrambled to get the clips immediately
