It Hurts Ouch But Its So Real - Tumblr Posts

ouchie parallels

I love when Apollo and Klavier's dynamic reflects Phoenix and Miles', but in ways that reverse what we'd expect.

More specifically, the ways Apollo parallels Miles and Klavier parallels Phoenix.

(Ngl I couldn't stop thinking about the post @box-dwelling made on this topic, and I wanted to make a bulleted list.)

Apollo Justice & Miles Edgeworth

Became the apprentice of a perfectionistic, corrupt lawyer sometime after losing their defense attorney father figure.

The same corrupt mentor killed someone in their family out of revenge, and was later found guilty of it in court. (This is if you consider Zak Gramarye was technically Apollo's step-dad)

Has adoptive siblings who's evil parental figure murdered their father. One of their siblings is a prosecutor who followed their evil parental figure's teachings until adulthood.

Unknowingly used forged evidence given to them by someone they trusted to uphold the law.

Had a loved one who was murdered in December.

Klavier Gavin & Phoenix Wright

Had a loved one guilty of poisoning multiple people. They were manipulated into trusting this loved one and unwittingly helped them hide their crimes.

Originally split their career path between law and some type of art before settling on law full time. Also left law during the seven year gap to get a job playing music.

They got involved in law (again after seven years in Klavier's case) for the express purpose of meeting and confronting their courtroom counterpart in person.

Had an earnest female legal figure who helped shape their moral beliefs about law. That figure was later killed by a socially powerful man attempting to cover up his illegal business practices.

Gained the help and support of their courtroom counterpart during an emotionally taxing trial. Then later, that counterpart moved incredibly far away with no warning.
