Don't Let's Start! - DGS/The Great Ace Attorney Animatic

[@denydestiny]

the most fun i had was writing that fake news article about the aftermath of 1-3 so i'll type what i had planned here bc the short of it is the reporter wants to swing in the old bailey scales. i made it up for the video and i think it's silly. as a disclaimer, don't be like this fictional news reporter. they've got the spirit but... they probably need to stick to like, normal swingsets- news article from nearly a minute in, here: FOREIGN ATTORNEY SPOTTED LEAVING OLD BAILEY AFTER THE REAPER GOT HIS FIERY REVENGE! REPORTER FOUND FLIPPED FOR GETTING CLOSE! This photo was taken after a very scary and tense few minutes of dodging and weaving through several quickly placed barricades for "stopping the public". You heard it here first, folks! Our fire department aims to "stop the public from running into burning buildings"! One has to ask, though, if our pounds are going to this sort of response from our newly established "fire department" - which don't even start fires, if you didn't already know - why are barristers given front row seats? I asked the barrister and her assistant to pose for a photograph, which went rather well until I asked her how things went. This reporter would've reported on the trial that occurred if not for being flipped by the young lady herself. Let this be a lesson to every London citizen. It's never polite to ask a man his age or a woman how her first trial went, especially if she's not actually a barrister. And that assumption may be on me, but no one reads my articles for the court cases, they read it for the upcoming news. And the word on the street is that we, as London citizens, are scarcely allowed our God-given right to do as we so please! And the culprit this time... is the same as always. Our fire department. It really begs the question, just what is the point of having two bonfires at all? If the Old Bailey is so flammable that one little omnibus catching aflame leads to a whole courtroom closing then one really must ask what "safety" even is? And will this lead to indoor fireworks being deemed unsafe? And if this sole reporter wanted to climb up the white scale we always keep burning in there, will our fire department go onto say I can't? It's a right shame, I say. I do! I do say it's a shame, and a loss! Anyone should be able to climb up on in there, they really should! And if they didn't want to stop there, if they wanted to bring a bucket and douse the scales and swing around in them, it's our God-given right as ordained by the Queen herself that we should! Why, that is to say, that if the Reaper may be given front row seats to a bonfire the likes of which only the best party-throwers could hope to achieve, that I should be allowed to do as I so please. And what I'm pleased to do is continue to sit in on cases in the Old Bailey from the balcony and dream of a day where we'll all be allowed to soar through the halls as barristers young and old argue about whatever it is they do.

I love this! The art is so expressive and clean, and I really enjoy getting to look at the sequence of events of TGAA through Holmes' perspective! I can't get enough of his guilty expression when Ryuunosuke and Susato are angry at Nikomina for "killing" Kazuma.

[@denydestiny]

ty for the compliment!!! and i'm glad it clicked with you. i simply think tgaa is a cool story when you look at it from other angles and sherlock like, he's got a lot going on so his pov is super interesting :-) also it was important for me to like explore that scene since it's pivotal for all of them i think. hope u have a cool day out there!

[@brozonesback]

Where can I read this 👁👁

[@faz-guard9392]

I need the link to this story.

[@denydestiny]

hi! this is the link, it's on ao3. you can also find it by googling "across the sea, you and me denydestiny ao3", or at least, you should be able to find it that way and it's a teen and up fanfic, so expect it to be about what you'd expect from canon. as in, the first third is canon, so read the first chapter table of contents if u just wanna see the new stuff the fic itself is kazumas pov almost the whole way thru, so be mindful of that, bc the video from sherlock's pov was for fun :-) also, it's on a hiatus bc my real life work is keeping me extremely busy, but you can more or less consider it done? i have like a few short chapters left to finish... some day, it's honestly gonna be a while archiveofourown.org/works/28815447/chapters/70671333

[@denydestiny]

also, because it's worth noting, this is a "for want of a nail" type story, so characters start from a canon point, and do diverge some the fic's main pairing is kazuma/ryuunosuke, as in it's a fic where they eventually get together, like over 80+ chapters in, so if you don't want romance, this fic might not be for you. the only background pairing is susato/haori- i call her haori and not rei, and those girls are very background bc i need to take time to learn them so i can actually write the last chapters of this fic. if you read it, i hope sherlock's silly antics are enjoyable to you, because he's been very fun to write for me ok that's all. have a cool day
