editing for shitposts paid off i fear (i actually had an editing arc in 2020 but never posted anything here and now unfortunately have gotten back into it a bit)
holy shit i dont usually comment but i love whiplash and AA and i love how much effort went into this??? first putting the actual track from the film into the proper soundfont and then actually making them rush and drag?? simply incredible love ur work have a good one
the fitted sheets were a low blow wow kristoph 😭 i love klavier content though he’s my favorite and i wish we got more of him interacting with his brother
how 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 would it be if we were both prosecutors who worked at the same building in 2019-2020, and we both played a part in ushering in an era of legal corruption, and we both found fame for our respective parts (but this fame differed in ways that, despite their differences, still parallel each other with the theme of chains (the Gavinners' chain theme and prison chains)), and we are both trapped within the personas we created for ourselves (rockstar and a "twisted samurai"), and also our siblings both went to prison (but one cared only for their image and the other cared for the people she lost so intensely that all her love turned to rage), and also we both are theatrical and obnoxious. pretty 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 right?
I SHOULD'VE HAD THERE BE A QUICK FLASH TO KRISTOPH WHEN KLAVIER IS TALKING ABOUT HOW SIMON HAD AURA. oh my god. Ok anyway I'm not rerecording this and it really isn't that deep but oh my god. for my sake imagine that this is a reality.
ahaha awhhh. Tht ending had me cackling. But also ;-; ;-; ;-; omg Klavier pls someone hug him. Never ocurred to me how much he and Trucy have in common, that is very cool. This is A+ writing.
it’s my job as an English major to make the intricacies of the characters apparent to the masses… everyone will appreciate the parallels between klavier and trucy if it’s the last thing i do
ok update to my comment. i just saw the episode where zane gets outsmarted by the djinn. maybe zane would also not be immune to kristoph’s manipulation, as much as i wish to believe otherwise. sigh 😒
whenever i use the official objection.lol recorder to capture videos over 10 minutes it uses a screen recorder and messes with the audio. it annoys me too it’s ok EDIT: jesus christ i tried to watch this with my airpods and the audio is horrific
i was going to have there be a dead friend joke because of apollo's plot device friend but i needed nahyuta to say "the friendful visiter" more than i needed to make fun of his dead friend. sorry to disappoint.
another absolute banger!!! you have such a fantastic grasp of all their voices. very rarely am i "wow"ed by objection dot lol videos i see on here, but that scene between trucy and klavier was incredible. the parallel between them is so underrated, & i so very much wish i had a better handle on klavier's voice to do it justice myself... what a shame how much they both got screwed over in characterization for DD onward. btw, have you ever considered writing for fancases? i seriously think you'd have a knack for it!! (third attempt at posting this comment, please mr. youtube grant me your blessing to make my Post)
giggling and kicking my feet rn omg. thank you!!! ramble incoming (i am an english major with a lot of thoughts) yeah i tbh feel the same about a lot of videos i see using the website lol… i’m already a very picky person when it comes to characterization so that really does not make for an enjoyable fan-content experience. like ever. i only use ao3 to write and there’s a reason for that. but the website itself is so amazing to me because it allows you to make something so similar to the source material itself, and explore it in ways that are not only accessible, but feel real, and not a lot of games have this sort of website. i always try to have a high quality of characterization (even if i exaggerate klavier a bit) and just quality of content in general and i’m so glad it worked!! klavier and trucy are so interesting to me because they’re both performers who are constantly in a state of performance-klavier having his alter egos and being very controlled in what he expresses to fit those roles, and trucy acting either more childish or more professional to suit her needs. it’s hard to convey it in direct text itself (which is why i really enjoy writing fic or making these videos) but just that theme of constantly performing, and hiding their true feelings behind those performances is so intriguing. people either flanderize klavier (especially in popular fandom content bc the fanon concepts get absorbed and passed around as canon) or they also ignore trucy’s depth altogether because her complexities are soooo subtle (and she can not easily be put into a ship so there’s less appeal for making fan-content with her). and then DD and onward did not help whatsoever by sidelining them and forgetting those established complexities. But it’s ok. It’s fine. 😐😑😐 i have thought about fancases before, particularly focusing on simon pre-UR1 with klavier as his assistant (because i am extremely normal about them), but i’m not the best at making cases haha. i could do the dialogue and characterization for sure, and maybe some overarching themes that connect the cases together, but the actual case details and the trials that build up the game would be so botched. i think it would be super fun! but i think unless i had a team of some sort to collaborate with, it would be far too character-focused and not challenging in the slightest. i do have an ao3 where i write serious content though haha (if my excessive rambling in this response wasn’t already an indicator of that)
@@Splathene you're very welcome!!! yes, i think you're spot-on about the performances they put on. part of why i love AJ so much is that the subtleties of both characters are so well-written and nuanced that it's super easy to miss it on the first playthrough and to assume the persona is the underlying identity. i see people writing trucy as childish and immature, or klavier as a bratty rockstar, and taking those masks at face value and completely missing the subtext of their characters, and thus getting them entirely wrong. (unfortunately those people include the main series, lol.) ofc it's part of why AJ is so controversial as a game, imo, and i love it. there's an underlying theme of performance vs reality throughout the game--it draws explicit parallels between the "performance" of stage shows (music, magic), the "performance" of poker and deception, and the "performance" of the courtroom and legal drama. 4-1 is particularly exemplar of that, where we see the bloody ace serving a symbolic role--simultaneously a magic prop, a playing card, and a piece of evidence--being used not as absolute decisive proof as we typically expect from our previous experience with AA, but rather a subversion that exposes the underlying game and its players. to beat kristoph, a master of the game, you have to play by his rules. it's brilliant!! and people totally miss how integral trucy is to that entire plotline!!! phoenix is being 100% genuine when he describes her as a genius!!! aaaaaaaaaa!!!! i can 100% relate to you re: fangames. i've been making cases for over a decade at this point, and it wasn't until a few years ago that i met my current collaborator who handles the puzzles/contradiction design which i suck at, letting me focus on dialogue/characters. we're actually in the midst of working on an athena cykes fangame that is basically my alt-DD that follows the bad ending from AJ. it's on ace attorney online (AAO) if you've ever heard of it--kind of a precursor for making AA cases. www.aaonline.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13023 i'll have to check out your AO3 fics!! and if you ever want to chat about fancases or really anything AA-related, i'd be happy to :D my discord is the same as my username here, feel free to add me!!
right, right??? AJ has so much more going for it than people give it credit for and it drives me insane omg. there’s just so much to it thematically, and it handles that darker theme so well… my god. and what you mentioned abt people taking those performances at face value is so annoyingly true, yeah. (and maybe i’m just a bitter rare pair enjoyer but i see that happening especially when people write klavier/apollo… like “this is the first time i’ve felt this way with a man” is so clearly a way to startle and control the conversation. this is someone who he called “the little boy who bested my brother,” he is not smitten with him and there is no way this guy is his bi awakening likeeee????!!!) and trucy is SO underacknowledged YES don’t even get me started. i have a running joke w some friends where we say she’s “basically god,” but like… after thinking about her character in more depth. i don’t think it’s a joke anymore your honor… and wait that sounds awesome as hell?!? i don’t play a lot of fancases - hard to assuage the quality - but that premise sounds so intriguing. i will be checking it out at some time for sure!! i know of AAO from the online courtrooms but i’ve never done much with the serious aspect i’ll def be adding your discord handle in the future hehe i’ve just been a bit inactive on that front
Thank you!! Yeah, her character is one that has a lot of depth to it, but it’s more of a subtle depth - one that goes especially unnoticed given how flanderized she was after AJ. It’s really interesting to me how similar she and Klavier are, especially with the unwitting roles Kristoph had them play in Phoenix’s disbarment, and how those similarities carry over into their behavior. I wanted to explore that sooo bad haha
