my understanding of the silly little girl dynamic in ace attorney is that they balance each other out
nick, apollo and miles get silly little girls. mia is a serious girl so she gets a silly boy (nick). athena is a silly little girl so she gets a serious older man (simon, occasionally apollo/nick. older in this context means older than her.)
the one dynamic we have not seen is silly male lawyer and serious girl. to this i propose klavier and ema. ema was once a silly girl but as she has grown older she has become jaded, making her the perfect component to klavier.

tell me more about classic filk i know a few songs but never got deep into it
Heck YEAH
"Filk" is music (often but not always folk music-style, often but not always song parodies to the tune of famous pre-existing songs) about sci-fi, fantasy, and other fannish topics. Filk circles are popular events at science fiction conventions, and that's really where the genre started. The word "filk" actually arose from a typo in a convention program once, and people just rolled with it ever since!
Some of the most iconic albums in the filk world are the anthology albums "Minus Ten And Counting" (songs about space exploration and the real-life space program), "Carmen Miranda's Ghost" (songs about sci-fi space shenanigans and space ghosts), and "Finity's End: Songs of the Station Trade" (songs set in the world of CJ Cherryh's Alliance-Union novels, and my personal favorite. I've never read any of CJ Cherryh's books, but these songs paint such a vivid world.) "Space Heroes and Other Fools" is another big one, it's more hit-or-miss for me but it's iconic. Other really good and foundational ones are "Divine Intervention" by Julia Ecklar, "Avalon is Risen" by Leslie Fish, and "We Are Who We Are" by Vixy & Tony.
I lean more towards sci-fi and space than fantasy, but fantasy and paganism are huuuugely popular filk topics too.
Some of the most popular names to look into include Leslie Fish (intensely prolific, barely a fraction of her work is on any streaming or music service), Julia Ecklar (famous for her "ose," the filk-world word for sad songs - because they're "ose, more-ose, and even more-ose), Juanita Coulson, Kristoph Klover, Vic Tyler (who just recently died :( rest in peace), Duane Elms, Kathy Mar, Bob Kanefsky, Alexander James (trans, with lots of filk under his previous name as well), Vixy & Tony, and Seanan McGuire. (I like Seanan McGuire's filk music better than her books, hah.) Some other great ones include Cat Faber (most acapella), Astrisoni, The PDX Broadsides, Kari Maaren, and Sassafrass (also mostly acapella. Includes Ada Palmer). Heather Dale, Tom Lehrer, and Jonathan Coulton are kind of honorary filkers too haha.
The best place to get the ones from 80s and 90s cassettes are on the Internet Archive or Youtube; a few filkers who are more currently active have their stuff on Bandcamp.
And I'll leave you with a few of my Favorite Ever filk songs:
"Sam Jones" by CJ Cherryh and Leslie Fish
"Pushin' the Speed of Light" by Julia Ecklar and Anne Prather
"Chickasaw Mountain" by Leslie Fish
"Fire in the Sky" by Jordan Kare
"The Phoenix" by Julia Ecklar
"Freedom of the Snow" by Leslie Fish
"Burn it Down" by Vixy & Tony
"Hope Eyrie" by Leslie Fish, or this Minus Ten And Counting version
"Rocket Rider's Prayer" by Kristoph Klover, Ernie Mansfield, and Cecilia Eng
"Dawson's Christian" by Duane Elms, performed by Vic Tyler or Vixy & Tony
"Somebody Will" by Sassafrass
"Chances & Choices & Fortunes & Fates" by Astrisoni
... my tastes lean sentimental and ose but I swear there's a lot of very funny filk out there too
"Never Set the Cat on Fire" by Frank Hayes (a famous one)
"Banned From Argo" by Leslie Fish (an INFAMOUS one)
"Don't Push That Button" by Duane Elms and Larry Warner
"No More SF Cons" by Juanita Coulson
"One More Ose Song" by B. J. Willinger
everything Bob Kanefsky writes

ace attorney sexuality headcanons nobody asked for in no particular order
phoenix: bi wife energy. hes your local bisexual icon. i think hed be that guy giving free dad hugs at pride parades
maya: either bi or straight but the worlds biggest ally
apollo: aro spec, more specifically either aroflux or demiromantic. hes not ace tho. he calls himself pan because its easier than explaining all of that
godot: straight, hes not necessarily homophobic but he doesnt understand gayness as a concept
manfred: straight, again not homophobic. he just thinks your choices are bad in general. an unsupportive ally
miles: demi and also gay. do i need to explain-
franziska: she's lesbian but a little bit homophobic. not internally tho. its very external shes making it everyone elses problem. "wow little brother i cant believe youd date a man, hes so disgusting too"
pearl: she doesnt know what gay people are
athena: bi with a slight preference for women. i think shes the type to talk about romance a lot. she and trucy headcanon everyones sexualities and theyre usually right.
klavier: gay and very smug about it
kristoph: gay, and somehow even more smug
trucy: she doesnt know yet, but she does know shes probably not straight
dahlia: aroace but nobody is quite sure how true that is
ema: aroace who says she's lesbian because she's tired of explaining it
larry: like pearl, he doesnt know what gay people are. but hes straight. hes an ally he just doesnt understand whats going on.
blackquil: nobody knows. hes been staring at the lgbt wiki for like 3 days and hasnt spoken since. hes not homophobic, at least, we're pretty sure hes not. his bird is, though
