just got around to switching out the reference images on my gavinners ocs on here, but wow. some of the info i wrote for them here has now become so outdated…. part of me wants to leave it that way as a way to catalogue the changes but. another part of me went from saying “i think daryan’s name is the english meaning” to writing down the farsi alphabet to ensure i got his name right in persian. like in the long run it doesn’t Matter if my headcanons changed much but now those images don’t match up at all and i totally need to just make a new post if i want to save that lmao. i’m also torn between re-typing the stuff on the reference sheets or just adding the images and then having bulleted lists of stuff i feel like saying here but not on my tumblr post….. hmmmm maybe i make a strawpage or something

also maybe some day ill draw them actual fan art instead of leaving them in perpetual white void reference art. but i do feel an obsessive need to catalogue and explain every single thing to establish them as characters so i can then…. make fan art ? of my characters ?

so ace attorney roleplay accounts are really popular on aatwt right now which is cool for everyone else and awful for me. because i start going crazy whenever they're out of character which is often. and i don't like being hateful and mean in my head so i channeled it into making a daryan account that only ever posts spotify links and retweets sharks and guitars. so i have some art from it too yay. and ofc im using it to promote klavdarpollo agenda. so mikeko too.

She’s never hung out with Maya one-on-one before. It makes sense really; Ema dedicated her life to science while Maya was living proof of the supernatural. They were practically polar opposites in that way.

But. Well. Maybe they’re not as different as Ema thought, considering Maya’s surprisingly subdued demeanor tonight.

drawing daryan again and thought “hey surely his artwork makes it clearer what his ring is supposed to be” and it does! it’s a snake’s head for some reason. and more importantly: HE WEARS AN ID BRACELET??? and it’s basically impossible to see in the original ds resolution and obscured by his sleeves in all but 2 sprites basically. i need to know what’s engraved on this damn bracelet why the hell did they add that !!! amazing and i love it….

(A more rational mind would realize Kristoph hadn’t contacted him either, but Klavier has never been particularly rational in regards to his brother.)

hm. so yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of the death that made me put my ghost klavier au on hold for over a year awhile ago, but also helped a lot in writing apollo's grief, so that's a bit of a strange feeling. i had a superr rough day yesterday because of it but i'm thinking now i could probably work on the less happy scenes that i needed to get to eventually anyway. im thinking i am gonna take it in the klavdarpollo direction but we'll see, really. weird feelings all around right now.

wowww so depending on who you ask i’m either a genius or. the biggest fool alive. but in a fit of madness i wrote a non-canon klavdar sequel to my ghost klavier fic and. well i’m very happy with it. i say non-canon because i don’t think i give daryan enough consideration in the original fic to justify this being a true sequel??? unsure. but it also really made me realize that i do still love this world building i set up but am just not inspired by the outline for the rest of it. so i started rereading everything and taking notes for what plot points i NEED to continue with and which ones i can scrap…. a part of me thinks turning it into a klavdarpollo fic would actually motivate me to continue but not sure ….. hard to say…..

i think once i get home ill keep rereading and try to assess how well it could work. a fic where the love interest doesn’t show up for quite awhile isn’t unheard of… and thematically it could really work! so i just need to look into it all. i might be talking myself into it the more i think about it. i’m always just so nervous that changing a pre-planned fic to appeal to my current whims is gonna be too messy but i think this really could work in theory. and maybe what i wrote would serve as a nice epilogue…. it already mirrors some of the themes since it’s meant to be the same universe, canon or not… and one of my friends that read a few snippets on twitter said it made them think about daryan more deeply which is always the propaganda i aim to spread to all my friends who don’t care for him.

omggg my friends and i get together to play through various ace attorney cases on discord on a weekly basis and it’s now the third time in 3 years we’re playing turnabout serenade. which means my obsession with this case i has been kicked into full gear again and now im in the process of working on my klavdarpollo fic for the case and redrawing my references for my gavinners ocs (and daryan & klavier alternate outfits) in a MORE complicated way. i’ve got big plans to turn them into paper doll-esque dress up figures so i can change them into whatever i want …… and i can’t help but think this is going to take me several billion years.

a song dedicated to you

Fandom: Ace Attorney

Characters: Klavier Gavin, Apollo Justice

Pairings: Klavier Gavin/Apollo Justice

Warnings: Some spoilers for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.

Word Count: 1446

Notes: set somewhere between The Monstrous Turnabout and Turnabout Academy but that's only relevant for one minor detail. pre-relationship but they don't really act like it.

I'd normally use an excerpt as a summary but this is really short and the first paragraph is the only good one for that, so it looks a little redundant on the dreamwidth post. Anyways, I recently discovered that Toshiyuki Kusuda, Klavier's Japanese voice actor, only has 13 monthly listeners on spotify. and I'm 2 of those on different accounts. I really think he has such a lovely voice and it's honestly not highlighted very well in the vocal version of Love Love Guilty. Also, I've had a playlist with the general concept of "jrock klavier would recommend to apollo" including several of his songs for several years now. So all my thoughts about that culminated in this.

godd everything has been such a mess lately i can’t even remember if ive posted an update at all. i think so? if not: im on adderall now, i’ve been able to draw a hell of a lot more lately. although most of it has been sketches i haven’t quite finished and yellowjackets fanart on my twitter. i’m going to a concert tomorrow (or today i guess, it’s 1am) and so excited. and in other news: my dad was in the hospital and is now out and fine, and my sister is seeking more professional help for her problems and my mom is??? a bit of a wildcard but should go back to therapy soon….. as i said: it’s been a mess! but i’ve written a little and honestly i would post more if not for the fact that seems like i’ll end up spoiling the entire fic lol.

FINALLY FREE!!!!!!!! from not having my laptop!!!!!!!!! after all that time it seems like the issue is mostly(?) my charger, so i'll probably have to get a new one but that beats the price of a new laptop by so much !

unfortunately my adhd meds still aren't getting filled so who know's if ill go back to feeling functional any time soon? but whatever we push forward. i kind of haven't been in a real reading mood either but hoping to turn that around also... idk... i can see fics being posted that seem so interesting but i dont want to read them if i can't devote my attention to them

happy new year!!! i meant to post sooner into the new year but have been doing…. basically anything else lol.

i set a few goals for myself this year (mostly just. try to actually make the art i want to see instead of never drawing or writing or anything,) but unfortunately my psychiatrist quit! and this has happened to me so many times now i’ve stopped keeping track, but im dreading having to explain all my medical history to someone new again. so i probably won’t be getting my adhd meds until february and that feels so bad. ughhhshgjehyh. but its okay!! i’m fine and optimistic!!! it’ll work out!!!

we are SO back

2024-12-25T05:09:30Z

potentially misleading subject, but at least for a short period i’ve been able to write and draw. hopefully the fact i had like 300mgof caffeine in the evening yesterday and pulled an all nighter doesn’t have to be a requirement for productivity.

anyways, yesterday i wrote an unknowable word count by hand in an old notebook for just some silly one shot i came up with on the spot. i have no clue how many words it is but it’s about 7 medium sized notebook pages uhhh??? feels like it could be anywhere from 1000 to like 5k frankly. it’s really hard to assess what i did when my hand kept cramping up. i’m really out of practice writing by hand i should probably do that more often. i maybe could work on the rest now since i have the vague ideas for the last few scenes written down, but i’m also pretty tired from the not sleeping in 2 days thing.

anyways after that during the night, i drew some sonic the hedgehog fan art since all my friends were and i just saw the movie (…twice) and that turned out pretty cute i think!!! although i really need to practice the sonic characters more if i plan on drawing them like. at all after this… it’s hard ! i don’t remember how to embed images on my phone though. so. i’ll come back and edit that in later…

anyways, i’m excited! it’s an almost-christmas-means-it-wasn’t-christmas miracle i guess !!! i am pretty sad that since i have no laptop now, i either have to borrow one to type this up, or i have to do it on my phone. but i really hate capitalization on this thing….. and not being able to see a whole page at once drives me nuts. maybe i’ll ask my sister to borrow hers.

edit for drawing yay:

basically my friends were all drawing their favorite sonic characters in their clothes, so i did it too. yippee! also a fun thing i just. have not shared on here is that i have the iconic 2017 sanei stuffed apollo justice and i like to take him places with me to take pictures and stuff. so amy got a little chao version.

here’s mine in all his glory…. and with a coat and scarf for winter. as of february i will have had him 2 years…. my single most expensive ace attorney merch he was like 300$ and worth every penny. anyways yeah that’s all okay bye bye

oh my god. started a short little fic and couldn’t seem to get in the zone so i quit for the time being. i’ve been drawing things that still look fine but aren’t any fun to make. i thought maybe i’d focus on other creative hobbies for awhile. i havent crocheted in months maybe that, you know? play some games and stuff too. and then! my laptop just totally bit the dust. and christmas is right around the corner so hopefully ill be able to afford a new one soon but god. i’m trying to type this on my ipad right now and have corrected so many typos already and autocorrect is on i dont even know why it never works. and my phone isnt much better, i’ve had it for quite a long time and it’s borderline not functional anymore so my parents are already talking about upgrading that soon too and im so grateful but idk. very discouraged considering if i happen to want to write soon, it’ll be a bit of an unbearable process. maybe ill take up writing in notebooks again like i did in middle school. could be fun.

i think creative block might really kill me like. not really obviously and its not the biggest issue in the world, logically. but ugh i dont know who i am outside of my creative pursuits i fear !! theyve been intrinsic pieces of who i am for forever…. maybe im going about this the wrong way and i dont need to get better, i need to get worse and write a lotof vent fics. probably not.

also please ignore the punctuation in this post i cannot put those apostrophes in there im so tired right now. ugh.

omg i'm alive !!!! i have 18 notifications on here of posts i've missed which is strangely daunting... i haven't even been gone that long, my anxiety is just out of whack lately. i'll catch up on those in small doses....

anyways, in a positive note !! i passed all my tests and have officially graduated and gotten my diploma! which is stressful in other ways tbh, but gratifying at least.

i haven't written anything other than some ideas in my notes app, but i'm hoping one of them could make a good oneshot or something. i care wayyy too much about my chaptered fic to be writing it when my heart isn't in it so hopefully doing something else will be a good push to get into the swing of things without stressing over making it perfect.

i've also not drawn a ton, but have done more of that than writing. i've got a sketch for klavdarpollo to finish and a klapollo drawing that just needs lighting added and i like those a lot. i also drew a decent amount of oc and character design stuff for other things i like but havent finished any of those either. the fact i ran out of adhd meds might just factor into the long line of incomplete projects i'm leaving in my wake. hm...

woahh

2024-12-01T06:05:37Z

so. small lore drop and explanation for why i’ve been away (aside from total creative block screwing me over,) in high school i had a mental break down (pretty mild but probably insane to the average person) and i dropped out of high school during my senior year. after finally getting my medication and mental health under control, i’ve taken (and passed) 3/4 tests to get my GED! next one is tomorrow (i tried to schedule it today but there was an issue on their end) so basically after tomorrow i will be in a new era of confused “what am i doing with my life” that’ll either make me way more active here or less active everywhere. now i REALLY need to go to bed but. god i hope to be done soon.

in a turn of events that’s surprising to me but no one else: i did good in science but GREAT in language arts. who would’ve thought that reading and writing being basically the only skills ive worked on since high should would mean they’re the best scores i get. i’ve still passed everything i’ve taken so far but in the past, i’ve always done well with STEM and not so much language arts or socials studies. either way, i’m gonna be done with this all tomorrow!!!!!! no more mental illness haunting me on job applications i can just say i got the equivalent of a high school diploma. anyways yayyy and i wanna write more soon ugh. and read. i’ve had nothing lately. i have 12 notifications on dreamwidth and can’t check them til i’m done. (i could but it’s a reward to me.)

anywayd, goodnight <3 i miss being here omg

i think i’m going to go insane if i spend one more day not getting anything done. i’m so creatively blocked in every area it’s driving me crazy!!! i started another klavdarpollo drawing that looks good so far but i wasn’t enjoying drawing it and i don’t want to make art that doesn’t bring me any joy. writing is the same problem. i’m not sure what to do about it when just giving myself time to relax and not pressuring myself isn’t getting me anywhere. i’ve been finding other hobbies and focusing on other activities and usually i eventually come back to some form of art! but i’ve been feeling so bleh since may and inspiration on motivation only comes and goes in short bursts. i tried even drawing totally different subjects and interests of mine and that was fun for about 3 minutes before it just felt like Getting A Task Done again.

i guess at least this has been somewhat productive for me in other areas ? i learned to play the pokémon card game and started playing several other video games and have started reading some of the mangas my friends recommended. i just wish doing those other things felt fulfilling instead of like something i’m doing to pass the time until i can be the person that i normally am, that i actually like, again.

SOOOO irritated right now... things have finally gotten less busy but then new stuff pops up short notice... and then even when it doesn't i'm having the worst creative block ever right now. maybe it stems from not finishing my fanfic in the timeline i had but ugh. now i'm struggling to write or draw anything at all.

however! i did take my adhd meds today so hopefully i can force some writing to happen. maybe i'll jump to a later chapter. i don't know... sadly my adhd meds make it really hard to focus on reading so i can't even try to get inspired that way. there's so much klavdarpollo happening on ao3 and it's killing me to have not read it all.
