truly one of my favorite things about the klapollo dynamic is that yes klavier is a world-famous rock star with tons of fans and probably a grammy or something, but apollo truly Could Not Care Less. it's the least interesting thing about this guy to him. he doesn't even like his band's music. he went to one of their concerts and decided he'd prefer to hang out backstage during the last 3rd of the show. he likes one (1) gavinners song and its an acoustic ballad collab that klavier doesnt even sing on

#the first time they met apollo straight up did not know who this guy was. he didnt even know kristoph had a brother #apollo justice king of not paying attention to pop culture. hes gotta be so bad at trivia #also i was just rereading part of the turnabout serenade transcript and god he really has such old man music opinions #about lamiroir: now this is REAL music #i hate his guts (affectionate)#ace attorney #<- for my own tagging purposes

Ah, I'm just thinking about last weekend (NYE getaway to a cottage in the woods) and how much I love that my friends are just as dumb as I am and can't stop making "that's what she said" jokes like,

(Everyone getting into a tiny car with all the bags and groceries) Me: "Wow, I'm surprised you managed to stuff it all in." Friend 1: "That's what she said." *everyone sniggering*

(Driving into the village where our cottage is) Friend 1: "Oh, it really is woodsy here, nice! I love wood." Friend 2: "That's what she said." more very mature sniggering

(Entering the cottage for the first time) Friend 2: "Oh wow, it's a lot bigger than I expected." Me: "That's what she said!" *high fives all around*

And so on and so forth. We are all women in our mid thirties, by the way. Like attracts like (wouldn't have it any other way) <3

#the entire weekend had a high michael scott vibe #we ate mostly cheese and drank leftover champagne from my french friend's sister's wedding #we did a radio countdown and at about fifteen seconds to midnight my speaker ran out of battery and died on us #and after midnight we danced and sang along to destiny's child and the spice girls and elvis for several hours #i was wearing a onesie and a tiny party hat #friend 1 hurt her back because she got a little too enthusiastic on the dancefloor and she's not 21 anymore #friend 2 called her boyfriend and put him on speaker so we could serenade him with 'bootylicious'#actually idk if it was more michael scott or bridget jones tbh #good times #minnie talks

oh you're doing fine? well what if i told you klavier says herr forehead a total of 114 times in all of his lines for AA4. and what if I told you he says it 15 more times in the short time he was on AA5 for a total of 129 herr foreheads canonically said by klavier gavin? are you still doing fine?

#.docx #and what if i told you the highest concentration of herr forehead usage was in turnabout serenade #i'm not saying klavier is 'sorry i called you shawty i say it when i'm nervous'. but i'm totally saying that #me saying this: which means it would be so much funnier if they didn't talk beyond the few cases they have together in-game #this guy you meet like 3 times a year at most has called you a stupid nickname more than a hundred times already

what kind of music you like listening to? could be directed either to you or the doc (or both!!)

my favorite genre of music is.. whatever i like listening to. i just like music a lot!!

if youre wanting a more specific answer than that, then i really like classical, swing and big band, and mid-century modern lounge and jazz!! bossa nova also maybe. i also like listening film scores and the occasional opera.

we also somehow happen to be in the year 2024 at the moment so maybe youre wondering about some newer genres? well all of the above is still very true! but i also like electroswing, most kinds of rock, early 2000s rave and edm.. most kinds of edm or electronic actually, and this tends to cover a wide variety of genres but i also like listening to video game soundtracks.

#if you want some examples mm...#i really like shayfer james' music #one of my favorite albums of all time in the swingin eye by si zentner #two of my favorite songs of all time are melancholy serenade and the shadow of your smile. any arrangement #tom lehrer also very good i love satire.. new math and masochism tango and the elements by tom lehrer are some of my favorites #yes i like will wood yes i listen to rammstein #i love oingo boingo #oh how could i forget my favorite song Ever is song of the death machine by bruce haack #i like they might be giants #there are too many to name i could quite literally go on and on and on and on for hours #people dont like when i play music because i will make you listen to the conet project #i lovee numbers stations listen to the swedish rhapsody from the conet project NOW #listening to stardust by the ray conniff singers as im typing this #question for me. or for me. so you are making this quite difficult #there are plenty of others that i didnt ecen mention too but i hope this is informative x]#i skipped over the eight other asks in my askbox to answer this one now just for you #the doc is in #replies from the void #music

ranking billy joel album covers (what i think are his main albums, maybe it's not what everyone thinks are his main albums? i dunno) from my least favorite to my favorite

piano man: yeah this is the only one where i actively go grr when i look at it. like i dunno man the void and how his face looks, i just can't get behind it. no thank you

the nylon curtain: when i was younger i always liked this one cus i thought it looked like a book cover, or rather i liked that it looked like a book cover. but yeah, eh

an innocent man: i dunno this one is just boring to me lol, like yep he sure is sitting on those steps

river of dreams: no it's a cool drawing and all, i'm not really sure what it is about it that it's just like something's off about it for me

cold spring harbor: while i definitely think it gives off the vibes of the album, i dunno it's just not super visually interesting to me. and honestly he looks so different here and that always throws me off too lol

the bridge: nothing wrong with it, i just can't really connect to whatever's going on here and yeah i can see the vibes but not very clearly. and i don't think the banner at the top looks very nice

52nd street: huge jump up here honestly lol. yeah i really like this one, i like the composition, i like how he's holding a trumpet (right? i know nothing about instruments actually lol), i like his blue outfit and how dirty it looks lol. i think this cover does a good job at making him look a little pathetic but like, in a cool way

streetlife serenade: it's so pretty!! i love this, i don't have any issues with it it just can't compete with the ones above it, for me personally

storm front: man i just love it, the red is great and the gray and black are so great, yeah i can't really explain it

the stranger: so cool man, like the gradients of black and white and gray are so pretty and it's just a really neat composition. it's wonderful, i guess i just feel a little stronger about the two above it. originally though i had storm front above this but yeah this one deserves to be in the top three over that one

glass houses: oh man oh man, i love this one, like i just love how he takes up the whole composition vertically and there's still so much visual interest in the rest of it but it's not too much, at least for me. and obviously how the album is glass houses and it's a glass house and he's holding a rock and you may be right (the first song) starts with a sound like glass breaking!!!! like cmon

turnstiles: not really sure if i can explain it but this is just the best one to me, i think the colors are so great and it's cool with all these people and it's just a great composition. and i like how the text looks, which like usually for these either i don't like it or i'm just neutral on it, so that's a plus. yeah i just love this album cover, i dunno

and if you've read all this you should go contact your representatives about calling for a ceasefire! and find some pro-Palestine posts to share and interact with!

#billy joel #cold spring harbor #piano man #streetlife serenade #turnstiles #the stranger #52nd street #glass houses #the nylon curtain #innocent man #the bridge #storm front #river of dreams #that's the chronological order of the albums right lol?#right now i can't compare with my ranking of the albums cus i've only listened to river of dreams and the nylon curtain once #and that was a long time ago #but recently i've been listening a lot to the first 6 albums and getting myself more familiar with 52nd street in particular #and streetlife serenade and piano man cus i'd listened to them plenty but most of the songs hadn't really stuck with me #so anyway pretty soon i'll be going to the last 6 albums and familiarizing myself with the nylon curtain and river of dreams #and more with the bridge too lol #so maybe when i'm confident with my full album ranking i'll reblog this and compare lol

serenading was really the last thing i ever wanted Kate to do as her grand gesture and i still don’t love it, but the amount of people who keep calling a big, awkward, public gesture hugely ooc for Kate and keep saying they miss the old whistler who wasn't dumb, oh DIA Whistler was so much better. its the show’s first season. i don’t think it’s even possible to be ooc when the writers are just starting to create these characters and we barely know them. we only saw ‘cool, confident, bossy dia whistler’ for about 6 episodes before 1x11 happened and changed everything, and while she’s still all of those things she was changing even before the breakup happened and with all the growth she’s gone through, she’s going to end the season looking pretty different to how she started (fair warning, this is a little unhinged and unorganized, just a little)

her arc has been about her learning to let people in and learning to be more honest with her feelings, to not be afraid of putting herself out there and learning how to stop pushing people away as a result of the impact Lucy and the team have had on her. it’s about making yourself vulnerable and trying to find people who will accept you even if you’re an awkward giraffe. throughout the season the writers have been telling us that she: finds it hard to be open and show her emotions, she puts her orders before her feelings at work causing everyone to view her as the ‘bad cop’ and that sucks, she really wants to make connections with her coworkers, but she doesn’t know how and she’s kinda bad at it, she was afraid of starting something with Lucy (and messing it up) because Lucy’s the most amazing woman she’s ever met and she wanted to keep it on the downlow until she felt she could handle it, is actually very charming and sensitive and goofy underneath that hardened exterior

there’s a reason Ernie describes her as “the tall one acting goofy,” she tries to keep her relationship with Lucy a secret and yet you can see her softening as a result of it and being unable to hide their connection and pull to each other even at work. Jesse notices they’re making googly eyes at each other during the Pearl Harbor tour in 1x09 and remarks that “there’s a certain DIA officer i haven’t seen around your desk recently,” because she couldn’t fight the gravitational pull drawing her to Lucy’s desk everyday, literally the worst kept secret at the office you morons! In 1x12 she’s sprinting after Lucy practically shouting after her (loud enough for all of Pearl Harbor to hear) even when she’s asking if Lucy’s going to throw their relationship away that easily. Kate gets a pass with Jane because how can you pretend you don’t care about Lucy after she could’ve died on an UC mission and as for Kai, well, he has two eyes so he definitely noticed too

the Whistler in 1x01 would definitely not be going over to Tennant’s house after 1x14 and sharing a drink with her (might not have warned her about Glenn Smith either) and maybe she wouldn’t have tried comforting her when Jesse went missing in 1x15 (not because she wouldn’t have wanted to, but maybe it would have been harder without all the stuff that happened in between as a result of the Lucy romance) and that’s growth baby!

as for her acting ‘dumb’ and goofy, whistler’s greatest hits (paraphrased):

1x07: the entire opening scene right in front of Ernie's coffee, like ladies its barely 9 in the morning

1x09: “i want to be intimate” “here???”

1x11: "i like this" "the coffee? its fair trade." "so i think i win the dumbass award." "yes...no! NO!"

1x14: “creds... that’s what all the cool agents say :)”

1x17: “the source of the attack was some sort of pineapple” “like the fruit?” (also forgetting she never apologized to Lucy)

1x20: while looking like a beaten bloody piñata “I’m fine just some bruises...and some minor head trauma...” “i did not have Lucy surf quotes on my bingo card today”

1x21: “about the power of love!” -silence- “...anyway i think that’ll help us get through to David” (we were all raving about this scene and how cute it was, but we don't want to acknowledge all the work it took to get here?)

The writers have been showing it all season, this is just who she is the more you get to know her, not liking it is different than ooc

Kate just sucks at talking and processing her emotions on the spot and can’t always immediately formulate a response right away whether you’re her boss or her colleague or her ex girlfriend (she ghosted a girl for months for god’s sakes which is probably honestly where most of the ‘this feels ooc for Kate’ criticism comes from and it’s hard to blame anyone for that because wth Kate, but it also serves as the biggest indictment of how her lack of social skills has effected her life and now it’s finally catching up to her)

a lot of people call Whistler rushing in without thought or backup to be ooc, and while they’ve shown that she’s smart and good at thinking things through (figuring out a way to help the team in 1x06, with the Clark Lohan thing in 1x10, using David's wife’s fate as leverage to get through to him in 1x21), that’s been behind the scenes we never saw her do field work during her stint at the DIA so there’s nothing really to base the ooc claim on, the first time we see her in the field is in 1x17 (she only transferred to the FBI 3 episodes ago) when she rushes in and Lucy has to stop her so it’s not out of the ordinary for her to do something similar in 1x20 at Agent Jones’s house, Whistler in the office and Whistler out in the field are different because they’re different environments entirely (and she’s new to the field)

i dont think the people calling Whistler ooc for acting goofy and socially inept would call her ooc for turning down a promotion anywhere from 1x06-1x13 to stay close to Lucy after early Whistler was billed as ambitious and career-driven (but i guess it’s different because it’s romantic without being awkward...), if we’re going to throw that term out there we should examine all her actions that way not just the one’s we maybe don’t like

you can criticize the writing and the show all you want we all have different opinions we’re not all going to agree on how good Whistler’s development has gone, but i don’t think it’s fair to say any public grand gesture or Kate acting ‘dumb’ is completely out of left field, yes she was more cold and distant and mean earlier (and maybe you preferred that way more) but as the show has progressed you get to see a different more shy, uncertain, dorky side of her and that's not ooc that's just how humans are

she’s been slowly stepping out of her comfort zone all season and Lucy’s influence on her has inspired her to finally make a running jump into the deep end to win her back because she loves her and that’s how much she means to her (my favorite post about the grand gesture written before we knew it was a singing gesture LOL) that's the whole point isn't it? the power of love! has changed Whistler! she's never felt this way about anyone before and is clearly woefully inexperienced in love, she misses Lucy and wants to win her back no matter what so she's willing to listen to anything and do anything to show her she's all in and wants to be with her and only her! love makes us do crazy things, but it makes sense after a season of pain and regret

unfortunately for some people, Kate also happens to be less competent socially so that’s going to manifest in truly awkward (and secondhand embarrassing) ways, but she’s always been capable of this because she’s a multifaceted character and the writers have been showing us that

#ncis hawaii #kate whistler #kacy #all the criticism and thoughts ive seen on tumblr has been cool and fine but the twitter folks just make my head explode #its like every time kate shows a not Cool trait shes ooc? theres a reason everyone calls her the dumbest smart person (affectionate)#shes got one braincell for work! whenever she uses it for her personal life or for following ernies advice is laughs at her and explodes #imma be real this is kinda petty and ranty bc of one specific kate stan on twitter i keep seeing firhrgjrg #like i cant even enjoy their fics bc they start all of them with 'i wont do u dirty like the writers have'#like wym the writers have treated me fine i loved 1x20 i loved all the kacy angst lol #like yas and tori are great and theyre 50% of it but who wrote the lines they say that make me love lucy and kate more and more everyday #also i dont think its possible at all for a character to be ooc...in season 1 like the writers barely know them yet how can i claim i do #like ok you like the character but then you hate the writers for half the traits theyve given them so do you actually like them???#this is all incoherent and im sorry #yes i still dislike the serenade but like i understand the point of the big gesture and why u would go there #get you a hot lesbian mess who can do both!#im delirious i probably shouldnt post this and ill regret it but i will anyway #like i saw someone ask what have they done to you whistler #oh idk given her a personality??? made her likeable and made the audience want to root for her? like yall LMAO

what would a band with all of your musically inclined f/os be like?

first of all, thank you so so much for this ask!! this would be the funniest scenario, even more so if I also joined their band ksjslhskshd

so, there's: ka‍ede, hon‍ami, s‍a‍ki, ka‍nade, i‍a, kait‍o, midor‍i, tomor‍i, mo‍ca and a secret f/o

kaed‍e, sak‍i and the secret f/o all play the piano, with the latter two also knowing how to play with a keyboard. so woo, THREE KEYBOARDISTS

ka‍nade is a composer primarily, so woo, someone to compose our songs. I think she can also play the piano though (wow, these pianists only keep increasing)

hon‍ami plays the drums. I am so glad this band managed to get a drummer, they are essential (she's what saves it from being a piano quartet GDKSGSKSJS)

tomor‍i is a band herself, as a vocalist.

midor‍i is an idol, so he sings.

kait‍o and i‍a sing as well. hmm, though my brother kait‍o playing the guitar doesn't sound so bad.

I suppose na‍na could be counted, as she has musical experience with singing

AH there's moca, a guitarist!!!! I almost forgot her

soooo, either one of the keyboardists gets a keytar and does a bassist's job or I dunno GDJSGSJSNSKS.

(now that I think about it, wouldn't it be cool if i‍a played the bass? I think it wouldn't, but that's hc territory, even inside my selfship universe, so I'm not counting it)

to conclude, it would look like three pianists (4 if kan‍ade plays with them on stage) (2 are actually keyboardists also), a drummer, a guitarist and five primarily vocalist people. if kait‍o plays the guitar, then yippee, there's another guitarist.

as a bonus (since I'm also musically inclined), if I joined their band, there would be *gasp* another pianist. what a balanced band innit

#this was so so fun to answer #thank you anon #proselfship #thoughts of the wind #asks #time for the tags #f/o: melodies with meaning #f/o: loop rondo #f/o: aria of the planets #f/o: a future serenade #kaito tag #honami tag #tomori tag #saki tag #midori tag #moca tag
