Back in gay lawyer hell with my favorite purple prosecutor and The Devil. Why do all of my favorite characters have daddy/brother issues? .__.
My headcanon is that Kristoph wanted to gtfo of Germany as fast as possible, so he only applied to American law schools (or Themis I guess) and stopped speaking German as soon as he could. Klavier is along for that ride (he’s saying “You’re so strange.”) I have… so many Gavin headcanons.
Hella old art #3. Ace Attorney fanart, whoo~ This was around the time I first played Dual Destinies, I think. I LOVE Klavier Gavin. I also love fucked up brother relationships, so have some Kristoph putting up with him. And Klav’s graduations from Themis. And Blackquill befriending penguins idk
In the land of Lamiroir, there lived a prince. Orphaned as an adolescent, it was decided that the kingdom would be run by the previous King’s advisor, Kristoph Gavin, in secret as King Regent until the Prince was of age.
But Lamiroir withered under the King Regent’s rule—crops stopped flourishing, sickness invaded the land, and misfortune spread like a plague—and because of this, the people of Lamiroir hated and attacked the Prince as if he were the one to make their lives so miserable. As the Prince’s twenty-fifth birthday and coronation crept nearer, the attacks worsened. To protect the Prince from these attacks, the King Regent summoned the noblest knight from an allied country to act as the Prince’s guard until the day the Prince would become King.
This is the story of Prince Apollo and his devoted Knight, Sir Klavier.
there are a few possible reasons why Klavier changed his hairstyle to match his bro’s but the funniest by far is so that his fans would mistake Kristoph for him. like can you imagine the shenanigans fans spotting that iconic hair twist, similar build and colouring and going omg that’s klavgav !!!! and it’s actually Kristoph doing regular things like grocery shopping and he suddenly gets accosted by crowds clamouring for signatures and stuff and he gives them The Glare™ it’s just hilarious
[ID: Two digital drawings of Kristoph Gavin from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. One has a white background, and the other has a saturated cyan background. Both are done in a pastel style, depicting him from the chest up. They are pretty much the same drawing, except for the background colours and the highlights from where the light hits, eg. his hair and glasses. There is also an additional reflection in the eyes of the cyan version, making him look a little more sinister. Both drawings depict him in his usual outfit with his badge, though the art style used here is a little more realistic-looking than the original art style. His ribbon shimmers and his suit looks a little silkier. End ID.]
kristoph would have alolan ninetales (icy aesthetic, gentle temperament) and klavier would have a regular ninetales (fiery aesthetic, vindictive when crossed) bc 1. matching aesthetic and 2. imagine people comparing their pokemon to the other bro haha ✨shenanigans✨
similar to the Pokémon sun and moon anime, where a two vulpix eggs (one regular and one alolan) are found and cared for at the same time, I think they would have been childhood presents from their parents. not sure which is funnier: they name their Pokémon after each other, or both name their Pokémon after food. one vongole and one (?) aglio olio? gelato? lmao
klavier would ask them to help out with special effects for his concerts. I can see klavier wanting to battle with his partner, but not kristoph or his partner. they might enter beauty competitions though
just noticed something super interesting…. most of Kristoph’s sprites have his arms crossed. like all except his breakdown sprites basically!! meanwhile Klavier’s sprites have more open poses - especially the pose where his arms are akimbo + he’s leaning towards his conversation partner. they look similar but their body language is so different!!
