I envision solo career Klavier as a departure from The Gavinners. Less glam, more grunge. Acoustic, scaled back, and definitely not court-themed. I was sort of envisioning a song that's a fusion of "What Makes A Man" by City and Colour or "Lost Kid" by Apache Relay. Those are both excellent songs. If you have any song contributions please let me know. I love music.

Notes:
Wow, 100 chapters. Time flies.
I debated about whether this whole plot point was in-character for Apollo, but I think he would learn harmful survival mechanisms from Kristoph that maybe he didn’t even realize. Like manipulating a bad person and thinking you’re justified for doing it. And honestly, having Phoenix as a mentor would only reinforce some of those harmful coping mechanisms. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows in Apollo’s world, after all.

Notes:
I do not in any way shape or form condone underage drinking. It just seems logical to me that of all the Ace Attorney characters, the rock star and the free-spirit medium would be the ones to do that. And to also admit to doing that. If you’re underage and you have no idea what any of these drinks are, it’s okay! It’s not essential knowledge to be a fully functioning adult. This one was just a fun exploration of the characters for me.
If you’ve never tried Guarana Antarctica, the Brazilian soda, I highly recommend it. It’s like cherry flavored ginger ale.

Notes:
Klavier really can't help himself, he just has to lawyer all over the place.
Why, yes, this entire project IS, in fact, a social commentary. Thanks for noticing.

Random Tangent: I'm watching Daredevil for the first time. It makes me want to fight people. And if ever there was an electric Marvel/Capcom crossover, Ace Attorney/Daredevil would be a good one. The overlap of these nearly indestructible defense attorneys taking on corruption would be so cool. Imagine my disappointment when I look up the list of Marvel vs Capcom characters and Daredevil isn't one of them...
Chapter 151: The Cerise Suited Wonder

Chapter 152: Playlist
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Notes:
I love Maya and the utterly unhinged precedent she set for all the future weird little girls of Ace Attorney. So, of course, I had to make her a playlist! A more grown-up version of her playlist to accompany her older self in the storyline. :)
Image is mine. I took it in an obscure county in Alabama. It's quite an astonishing waterfall out in the boonies lol
Chapter 153: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Honey
Notes:
Mentions of Narumitsu in this post. (It's the whole punchline of the chapter)
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
Notes:
Miles Edgeworth watches K dramas and you cannot convince me otherwise. He may ruthlessly pick apart their frequently toxic love story plotlines, but he would watch them.
Also writing this reminded me of one of my favorite fan videos on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbVBCLwFV7E

Chapter 158: Lieblingsmensch (Means 'My Favorite Person' in German)
Notes:
Once again, I will add a disclaimer: Ema is not modeling the best therapeutic communication. She is not a therapist and is not speaking to Klavier like you probably should to a struggling person. But she is emotional over Klavier's suffering and doesn't have a super positive way to show that.

Notes:

Chapter Text
Notes:
Phoenix is so wrong for so many reasons that Edgeworth can't even get into it with him over text. That's true nerd pain.
Guess who's 700 years behind every other person on the internet and just watched a movie from 2013? lol I actually started to read an Ace Attorney/Pacific Rim crossover a while back, but I put it on pause until I watched the movie. I'm going back to it asap.
Chapter 162: On A Scale of Weird to Weird, How Weird Is Weird?
Notes:
The answer is yes.

Notes:
Hopefully this isn't a super boring chapter. I just heard 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart' and knew Klavier and Apollo would both be screaming that song out when they're alone during their friendship hiatus.

NaruMitsu are not perfect.
Also, Missed Connections is highly entertaining. I encourage you to go read a few entries.

Chapter 171: Triad Troubles, Part 2
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Notes:
For those who don't know, "ambulance chaser" is a term used pejoratively to describe predatory attorneys who hire inside men from police or funeral homes, or who scour news sites for victims of car accidents or other tragedies. These attorneys then funnel these folks into their business and typically take a huge chunk of the winnings in any civil suits. Also fyi, in many cases this practice is illegal. Like 100% illegal. Obviously, Phoenix is not an ambulance chaser. That's just Miles's idea of flirtation.

Notes:
That awkward moment when your music slays so hard you still go viral even under a fake name
You guys can imagine whatever sound or genre you want for Klavier's side project. I recently started listening to Sleep Token, and now writing ideas are flooding my brain like dam waters through a ravine. That's a good and bad thing because I started having such random fandoms in my head, like freaking Hannibal. Plot ideas popping up like evil weeds in my brain. I haven't had Hannibal plot bunnies since, like, 2016. Thanks, Sleep Token, I really needed that (full sarcasm intended).
The screenshot used in Kay's stream is from a game called A Little To the Left.
