#I very well may go to hell

[ind1c0lite]

(Basic context is that AU of Duel Desinties where the phantom impersonates Phoenix to get him found guilty of Clay's murder, I talk more under the cut abt it jkhlj)

-Basically meant to be a parallel to turnabout trump, cause if you can have ONE boss get found guilty of murder, why not a second one?

-OK basically: everything in DD happens normally until like- a day before clays murder, Phoenix gets yoinked by the phantom somehow (he is still alive, just being held captive), Phantom is still Fulbright, but they've decided to be silly goofy (target Phoenix and get him found guilty of murder, escape police custody and then murder phoenix and make it seem like Phoenix accidentally died while on the run, thats why they didn't kill phoenix right away unlike the real Fulbright) there is an imposter amo-

-I dont have the logistics as to how this affects solving Metis's murder, and how it effects what evidence is used n whatnot and turnabout for tomorrow as a whole, so im just going nuts HGJKHLJ

-Originally I was actually imagining this taking place during turnabout for tomorrow and I wanted that case to be apollo v klavier instead of phoenix and edgeworth and thats why klav is in here instead of Simon (I decided that Simon got badly injured and couldn't stand in court for the retrial, so klavier was asked to step in)

-The courtroom bombing still happens the same way it does normally, but Apollo decides to take up the case again instead of taking a leave, instead of like, you know, healing from the traumatic event that just happened, turnabout countdown still happens as well

-Apollo and Athena do not find out about the phantom's existence until well after this trial, so they have no idea that Phoenix could've possibly been replaced, though simon, after hearing about the trial, might be suspicious about whether or not that was the real Phoenix

-The Phantom had been not only keeping an eye on Simon for a while, but was also stalking Phoenix and Edgeworth after they both started looking into UR-1, so they were able to impersonate phoenix so well that not even his own daughter thought that anything was up (though while Trucy did find him a *little* bit off, but she figured that it might've been the bombing that caused him to act ever so slightly weird, so she didn't pay much mind to it until she heard about his confession in court and realized it might've been because he possibly, ya know, killed someone)

-it's pretty much just switching Athena being framed for murder with Phoenix, and instead of the trial ending on a cliffhanger, it continues on (probably with Klavier insisting on it) ending with soloman being found innocent and Phoenix being declared guilty

-There's a couple days inbetween the end of the cosmic turnabout and the start of turnabout for tomorrow, so Athena, Apollo and Trucy all get a little bit to process the fact that "oh god my boss/my dad killed someone" (simons execution date is pushed back a bit in this au) and they probably get to talk with Klavier and eventually a lil bit with Simon after he gets out

-Im not sure how it all winds down in turnabout for tomorrow (Phoenix escaping and being at large is basically the perfect cover for the phantom to resume being fulbright for that trial) but they do eventually realize that the phoenix who confessed wasn't the real one and now there's a search on going to find out where the real one is being held captive, hes fineeee just ready to take a week long nap and a good vacation (along with every other waa member)

-I dont have anything else to add on rn but if you want to add something or just throw in a scenario feel free to!! this idea has been bouncing around my head for like a month now and Im very happy to finally show yall it

Miles Edgeworth as the valeyard

Kristoph Gavin as the Master

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #athena cykes #Kristoph gavin #maya fey #what matters is that i think im funny #things to note. er trying to get outfit refs from grainy still images of low buget 80 television shows in very difficult #especially when they're in all black. #i think the valeyard actually wears panta but its unclear and that seems stupid so he has proper robes here #i got half the masters outfit ref from a fucking action figure because the in show images were rough #kristoph gets to be the master over miles because the valeyard needs to be a procecutor and master x doctor is way more toxic than nmts #and i am saying that about like my two otps #krisnix has like a more similar mortal enemies but gay about it dynamic but i think theyre way more toxic #which is funny because Kristoph has done comparatively way less murder #mel was going to be ema or trucy but thinking about it athena fits her way to well. red headed fitness buff that the fans hate #also tracing Phoenix outfit to make it the 6's easy as hell. loved that. putting the pattening on? actual hell #it may be messy at points but im not cleaning it up for something with a venn diagram of interest with only me in the centre #i always get scared to tag stuff as classic who because like theres so much history and i feel like a fake fan. #posting cringe in the AA tags is so unscary to me now. its just my little encosure #6th doctor #classic who #fan art #colin baker #oh in case the joke goes over anyones heads the outfits are from the dw season thats a courtroom drama. its not well liked #also lets not think about the metaphysical consequences of miles being the valeyard. hes just the main prosecutor #and also i wanted to dress my blorbo in the stupidest outfit #this was fun thoigh. maybe ill do this for other dw characters and aa ones just without any pretense or context #just for fun

Rereading again, and it's really interesting to note just how different the early art style is from the later style- and especially from the anime itself. With the manga, you can at least see where things came from; in the anime, it's a fairly radical departure that is only barely recognizable as what it's meant to be, at least in regards to Joker himself, specifically.

The early manga has lots of sharp points and angles, creating a character that, even if he behaves in largely similar ways, still feels almost entirely different from his animated counterpart. No wonder I was so put off by the anime's designs, originally- and that I had gotten the impression that he was older than he actually wound up being, or was type-cast as. Funny how I now largely prefer his anime design and personality, even if it's altogether not that different!

Fun fact, when I first started reading, before I had started watching the anime (and even for a bit after I had started), the voice I had for Joker in my head was the same as Kaito's, from Magic Kaito- which, as far as anime goes, would be from Detective Conan and Magic Kaito 1412, specifically. Even if he seemed older, at least in looks, in my head he very much still read as a bratty teenager, it would seem.

#Kaitou Joker #Magic Kaito #Detective Conan #Mun Post #it's sort of nice to go back from time to time; and notice the differences #in either version he's a funny guy; tho in ways that are both similar and radically different at the same time #I don't recall what sort of voice hachi had in my head; it may well have been the same as canon because it's not too dissonant #with how he looks and acts as a character in the manga #I don't know if the others had any set voices either; because I can't remember if I read about them before or after I decided to watch- #the anime; I was trying to coincide it; but it turns out the timeline of the anime is very different than the manga #it has a hell of a lot more thought put into it for one thing #for a while I had no idea if Roko was original to the anime or if he showed up in the manga or not; he seemed so out of place #p sure he was in the manga first now; tho idk if I'll ever get to read that chapter #if I could I'd love to go back and go over the early chapters; it was the beginning of the scanlation group's work #and it's got that early work wonk all over it- plus some of the double pages are separate for some reason #and it disrupts the flow; if nothing else I'd want to fix that #I've also heard something about missing pages from a twitter account; dunno what that's about necessarily tho #especially since I'm pretty sure one of the double pages was fixed after mangadex allowed chapter editing #maybe some early chapters got skipped over? or they're missing in the file downloads; no idea about those #bc I prefer to read online... #also I'd say I'm sorry about bombing two semi-unrelated tags with this nonsense; but I'm really not #it at least has SOME relevance to these topics! even outside of what I mentioned actually #bc kaito and joker are both phantom thieves; and even more interestingly; apparently there was some kind of merch crossover event- #between the kaijo anime and detective conan; that I really wish I knew the details about beyond that it Existed

god help me i'm going insane about dickson xenoblade again

#this is what i get for thinking about lord of the rings too hard this week (specifically denethor / gríma / saruman and the like) #thinking about the way anthony may delivered “when will you learn you HAVE no future?” #he thinks shulk is fully DEAD at that point. he thinks HE killed him. which he very much meant to. but now that the kid is no longer there #now that the terrible future he's been preparing for and actively working to bring about has in fact come about #i don't know that dickson really cared anymore. he played his part he did the deed expected and he did it unquestioningly. So What Now? #well. now nothing. now the world that he spent so long biding his time in; so long getting enmeshed in (even for nefarious purposes) #is about to end; is about to be gone forever. #sure zanza will probably just create another world and maybe he (dickson) will have Even More Power in the new one #(though that's not a given! he doesn't know for SURE his lord and god will keep his promise!) #but like. what the hell does he care at this point #dickson SAYS he wants power but i suspect that long long ago what the giant dickson really wanted was SURVIVAL. #we never get to know just how he became a disciple or what the giant civilization looked like in its heyday or how it ended #but in MY headcanon dickson saw that some kind of destruction coming and he wanted Out #and maybe he hated his peers and figured any power and prestige that came from this bargain was just a bonus #i think he thought of himself as a saruman type: powerful; remote; far above the petty troubles of mortals (even the long-lived high entia) #but i have always headcanoned that by his later days (i.e. when he started engaging w/colony 9; machina village; etc. in earnest) #he committed too hard to the bit and started “going native” as it were; started to give a shit in ways that he would never dare admit #maybe not as much of a shit as; you know; a regular guy would. but more than an immortal disciple and horseman of the apocalypse should. #and all the time knowing that all the world he'd seen would soon be gone #maybe everyone else can get fucked. but shulk had to die too. and that's what their god MADE them to do. #he can't allow himself to care or to hope for another option bc in his mind it's already over; decided; that's it #what else can you do in the face of ultimate power but bow to it and take whatever scraps may fall to an obedient servant? #“you have no future” nor does he except that shulk came back. except that the peoples of bionis/mechonis just wouldn't accept Fate. #and in some final rebellious corner of his mind he starts putting eggs in shulk's basket. “if they can't even defeat telethia they won't #stand a chance against me (or zanza)” so let's see if they CAN. oh they did? how about a dragon? oh fuck they defeated the dragon too? #well fuck. maybe there WAS another option all along. but will/can they stand against me; the final disciple? oh they can?? #guess i'll die then bc i'm not looking THAT in the face. i am NOT unpacking my cowardice/failure/lack of vision after all these years. #good luck with that tho <3 you're welcome for the training btw. where i'm going i don't have to see your trauma assuming you live that long. #dickson #xenoblade

Honestly I think Dean Highbottom has some shit to answer to as well. The mockery, the derision, the outright admittance that he was hoping Coriolanus would fail and the Snow family would continue to suffer. How someone who loathed the Games still treated a young man with cruelty because of the past, because of social divides that would be so easy to tear down. In the end, it wasn’t just Gaul who shaped Snow into the man he became. So bitter and hateful. So incapable of compassion and forgiveness. Just like his father. Just like his Dean.

#like yeah there were a lot of things questionable about Snow even before he was chosen as a mentor in the games #but like. damn. you didn’t even consider the idea he could be better than his father did you? #the way kindness could have unravelled some of the hate in Snow’s heart #listen to me tell you the horrible things your father did. listen to me tell you that you can be different. you are not the past. #the divides between us do not truly exist. look at the weapon in your hand. it is real. and it can do real damage #but if you never hate someone - if they never fool you into letting violence into your heart - they can never make you use it #it breaks my heart. how could you hate a ghost so much that you’d kill a child. I don’t know. but the Dean does. and so does Snow. #the cycles run and run until somebody stops. and burns some bread. and shares berries. and takes an arrow. and says no more. I love you #it is difficult. it could hurt me. it could be the very last thing I do. it may not even serve me well. but I love you. I love. always. #how pathetic hate makes you. how strong love makes you. like staring at the Dean and staring at characters like Haymitch #like two substance abusing men who know the system inside out. who are complicit. who are victims. both embittered and angry. #but one saw a child and decided to punish him for the past #and the other saw a child and decided - okay. it’s been 23 years. my heart hurts. I want to give in. I want to hate you. I want to not care. #I’m going to care anyway. I’m in so much pain. It’s killing me. I’m going to care anyway. about you both. it won’t be perfect. but I care. #and I’ll be here through hell. and I will fuck up. so fucking badly. because I’m still addicted and angry and god knows I have suffered. #god knows these hands are bloody and they always will be. but I will keep coming back. I will keep trying. I will still love. #and in the end I will write names in a book that belongs to you and I will find a little bit of peace in a house where the sun shines #and the geese make ridiculous noises in the yard. and love will have seen me through. #HAYMITCH YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS I LOVE YOU MY IMPERFECT DARLING #dean highbottom #coriolanus snow #the hunger games #a ballad of songbirds and snakes #haymitch abernathy #thg #abosas #suzanne collins #SHE WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS

day 3 went from "its soooo over" to "LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO"

not that i have a schedule but i am proud that i am fighting against anxiety by shoving myself into situations to get some work done

#snow speaks #work log #like morning was awful and was very humbling (rusty as hell knowledge) #and i was like 'man i may as well just give up now since i dont have a schedule #but told myself YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE GOING TO TRY AND DO SOMETHING #so i went back and asked for things to do and :) i did good. #i think maybe its bc i wasnt as intimidated #but it went ok!! i learned more things !! #and i actually felt like i wasdoing something so that was great alskjdafh #and also had a moment of 'AH YEAH THATS WHY IM HERE I FORGOT......' #this is a constant struggle this dreams gonna either kill me or im going to kill it #the main problem is~ i dont like this stuff so none of this material sticks for me #so most times this knowledge is over my head but i have some recollection askdlajfhh #just wait till i get to a specialty that i actually like #then ill just be shouting answers excitedly like a little toddler LMAO #youll see .... #just 23 weeks (barfs)

YAYYY MISHA THEME!!!

MISHA 💖💓🩷❤️💕💖💓🩷💖❤️💖💓💓💖🩷💓

#i loevev them so much did you know that #currently saving up for him and it is HELL after spending it all on sparkel .so many quests and not enough timw ......... #and . ouhhh havent had the chance to talk abt . shit what is it called . lemme go see real quick . #A CHILDS DREAM . yknow that one map with the text on the walls and the melted clocks and stuff . #that was done . SO incredibly well it makes me INSANE........... #so like . im 100.1% sure the speaker (who talks abt mikhail a lot) in that room is misha. #like that IS her voice right . im not going insane #its just . auuh... the dreams (or at least golden hour) in peacony are so childlike .... like . some of the puzzles are jigsaw puzzle ; #turn into a small cartoon character ; and help the cartoon character find his cartoon gears . #and then you get to clockie . who can only be seen by someone w a childs innoence (or smth around those lines) #and that misha can see clockie . which like . cool right ? yeab. UNTIL YOU GET TO A CHILDS DREAM .. #where theres something just ... sososo off . #and its ... its just gotta be misha . its gotta be . idk if theres anything outside of main story im missing (there probably is) #BUT . augh . auf even . #childs dream still has these childlike qualities to it (the paper birds; walking on walls) but just ... more warped #(the general atmosphere of the place; the monsters even .) #the music having a music box to make the tone of the song more distressing ... how its so much more smaller than golden hour .. #aughhhhhh ... its just such a good parallel..... i could talk abt it all day really . #anyways . i WAS going to tell u abt my misha theory (which may or may not be confirmed) bu t i got DISTRACTED. #uhh anyways . my theory is that misha is somehow trapped in peacony . #when misha goes onto the parlor car they mention that theyve never been outside of peacony before and that she can t stay for long . #which i imagine is very normal! BUT its this combined w her lock motif (pupils; most of the doors in childs dream) thag make me suspicious #i mentioned before that golden hour has a very childish quality to it. and that misha has that childish quality. #okay well . what if mishas being kept there so that golden hour can keep on being a dream for other people? #and so that would make golden hour mishas dream. (or part of his dream? could be more people the familys keeping) #and that would imply that childs dream is . well . mishas nightmare . #uhm . i think thats it ..? if i come up w anything else ill . ramble abt it somewhere . definitely not the most eloquent but #i hope i got the point across <33 #i think its an understatement to say i love misha . i LOVE MISHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

(In response to your tags on the post about working with vocal synths) VOCALOIDS CAN SNEEZE?!?!?!

I've been listening to this music for almost a decade and I'm still amazed by what we can do with this

I'd really like to hear that now lol

no see like the issue is that they can't i'm just cursed and encounter very unique problems lol

#vocaloid #well... to my knowledge. #some vbs have these little .wav file folders with like bonus samples like 'one' 'two' 'haha' lets go' or whatever recorded by the provider #that u can slap into ur track. obvs i dont know the contents of most of them but there may be official sneezes for some of them #in my case it was just a very fucked up [ch] consonant though <3 #idr abt v6 bc i dont have it but vocaloid 5 also has like these attack and release effects #where u can add ornamentation and such to ur notes #would i say it's useful? Well. #it may work better for v5 vocals. maybe it's just derpy as hell because earlier ones are not very compatible with newer technology. #couldnt tell you i've not once used the v5 gang lmao and im not planning on changing that hoenestly #ANYWAYS #it's debatable whether you would find the ornamentation options useful in a traditional way but it is undeniable that you could #bring forth some Quite Interesting sounds and kinds of expression using them if you wanted to #say what u want abt v5 being shit (it is (it has to not crash within 3 minutes first to make that judgement though)) but #if you're insane and like to spend countless hours playing with ur fucked up little gay track to make something unconventional #it's actually quite possible up in this bitch #also as a lily connoisseur the v5 parameters are insane. i can make her stop yelling <3 #i got sidetracked quite a couple of times there sowwy #anyways if u want to it's indeed very possible to frankenstein a sneeze-like abomination given enough trial and error #not officially unless there's a pre-recorded sample but it can be done #unfortunately i dont know how to do it on purpose ): yet. #when im less busy maybe ill play around with it at some point soonish #ask

I thought I was done being feral about Tamagotchis but no, it was just a lull

#I was already interested in getting a Gotchi for the past couple months and then KKClue dropped that video (praise be) #And Then I learned that there was a cheap way of purchasing legit Japanese Gotchis??

actually you know something. i have got to stop watching media with people with british accents. i’ve had such an overload of british accents lately it’s absolutely ridiculous. i’m starting to think in the cadence of charlie hunnam’s voice in queer as folk it’s going to drive me to smash my head through a window. 

#he talks in a very particular way there it's not just the accent. some may call it overacting EYE call it realism. man's character was 15 #do you guys wanna talk about that show? i'm making a list of the top tv FREAKS i know and vince and stuart are placing second #anyway. i have got to get on a diet of strictly american movies for a few days. well maybe i'll rewatch slaughterhouse rulez #but OTHER than that. #still awake as shit btw. jesus christ i got classes tomorrow. #and they're all going to suck probably. trying to have a positive outlook tho. but they are going to SUCK #i'm stuck in two basic level classes (intro to film. me. INTRO to film. i'll start eating wallpaper) and both of those are 2 hours long #and no one i know will be in them because it's going to be all fucking. sophomores probably. oh god. #and the other two. one will be easy enough but the other the professor is my advisor and he is USELESS as fuck i do NOT want to see him as a #actual professor. are you kidding. he's useless. and he's got bad vibes. hashtag misandry #god too many of my professors this semester are men what if that was my last straw #i'm kidding it's fine. what the hell was this post about originally. i''ve just been typing. #oh yeah. the british accents. literally driving me crazy. no one recommend me any more movies unless they're all in the american south #beth.txt

nah, honestly tho, i’ll be with a meta post until it starts going on about what characters “deserve” and then it’s lost me completely.

#and i mean in a strictly moralistic sense… i’m definitely guilty of using it colloquially or as a joke #but when it’s the former it just leaves SUCH a bad taste in my mouth #which is just a personal opinion - i don’t think it’s actually a terrible thing to say or anything #it’s just not how i do business - ya know? #i don’t care what characters deserve #because they’re not real so they don’t deserve or not deserve anything #what i might WANT for them is a separate issue #their ends might make me sad or happy #but i’m not going to classify that by ‘they did/n’t deserve that’ because that just isn’t how i see it #my feelings aren’t related to objective moral judgment #because - again - these are NOT real people… no matter what they do in fiction - they cause no actual harm #so sorting them by Deserving and Undeserving just seems very unnecessarily puritanical to me #but - like i said - that’s JUST me!!!!!! #this very well may be an unpopular opinion idk!! #cuz this isn’t to say that i don’t think characters can do bad things within their fictional worlds #i just don’t think that translates to them being Deserving/Undeserving of a good ending (salvation) #i don’t want a Narrative (God) that condemns all evildoers to hell and saves the souls of the righteous #that’s boring to me #and that’s never how i’m gonna chose to view a Narrative or analyze it #things don’t Happen to characters because they deserve it - they happen because that’s how they were Always going to happen #so - in other words - i do not view good endings as salvation and bad endings as condemnation - i just view them as Endings #idk… i’m very tired and rambling now - but this is my Take on the matter

STOP IT #this is very much an instance of ''clearly i will have to write this exact thing i want myself'' however‚ quite reasonably if you ask me‚ i #am experiencing mild fear at the prospect because the last time this happened i ended up making a comic which has now been going on for uhh #Eleven Months. #HOW HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG. WH HUH???? #did you know. that i. for some reason. thought i would complete the entire thing before new year's #clearly i knew nothing about the sheer Amount of work comics require (and have since gained a new appreciation for that art medium!!!!) #its hell. #(i have loved making it so so much and will continue to enjoy this process for as long as it lasts) #creacher.txt
