Just for VTSOM&TWDAK content

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

The light is green.

Your honor, something is amiss here!

As you are probably aware, library materials are labeled with barcodes as well as a number to determine their location on the shelf, as per the Dewey Decimal System. The books just to the left of the manga are labeled, as are the DVDs just in view on the lower shelf. Look even further behind these shelves and you’ll see that even those books are labeled! 

Ladies and gentlemen of the courtroom, I invite you to take a closer look at the volumes that are, allegedly, part of this law library! Something is missing from the spines, isn’t there?

Where are the bar codes?!

Your honor, if you bring your attention to the books just left of the manga, you’ll notice there’s a book (the second to the left) that also does not have a bar code.

If you examine the picture even closer—particularly the DVDs below—you’ll see that they bear bar codes, but not on the spines. No, they have them on the back and/or front of the DVDs. Of course, this method of labeling and organizing isn’t limited to products of the film industry alone.

Wh-WHAAAAT?! You’re kidding!! 

(Shoot, he’s got me there… Better think of something fast! Something about the books that sets them apart from— …! I’ve got it!)

While that may be true, you’ve also overlooked one critical error: the titles of the books! Whether or not your hypothesis regarding the labeling system is correct, these titles aren’t alphabetized correctly! What kind of self-respecting librarian would misplace such vital books? 

Clearly, one look at the titles of the books next to the manga is a tell-all of this certain library’s less-than-stellar organization skills. None of the books are in alphabetical order, I’m afraid.

They could very well be alphabetized by author and not title, but it’s a little difficult to be able to decipher that from this single picture, wouldn’t you say?

Furthermore, the manga books themselves are in numerical order, suggesting some kind of system is in place, albeit not a very good one, if the alphabetizing is off.

Due to the uncertain nature of this case, we’ll have to postpone this decision until more decisive evidence can be obtained. The court will now take a 15-minute recess.

(W-wait, but I’m not—)

I’ve got some decisive evidence for you, pal!

We investigated further into the photo. Zooming in, you can see a label on the DVD case to the bottom left.

Photo Close-up added to the court record!

As you can see, pal, you can vaguely see the words “Of Toledo Law Library” on the label!

And, considering possibilities of the rest of that label, “University of Toledo“ was the first to come to my mind!

A quick search on the University of Toledo’s Online Law Library Database revealed that there ARE the comics pictured in it!

Miles Edgeworth Ace Attorney Investigations volumes 1-4 and Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney volumes 1-5!

And there’s more! 

The section these comics are filed under is the “Law in Popular Culture” Section, which matches up with the stickers on the rest of the books on that shelf: “Lowering the Bar: Lawyer Jokes & Legal Culture”, “Prime Time Law”, “Lawyers in Your Living Room!” and “Reel Justice: The Courtroom Goes to the Movies”!

Not only is it in the right section, it’s also a documented part of the Law Library’s database!

How’s that for decisive evidence?

Specifically, the one that is titled “Lowering The Bar: Lawyer Jokes & Legal Culture”. Therefore, the shelf is clearly on the culture surrounding the law itself and popular culture relating to the legal world!

…

…

Hey, wait a minute, pal!

Don’t go pullin’ the wool over my eyes here!

The University Library’s Online Database clearly shows that the comics are filed under “Law and Popular Culture”!

See?

It doesn’t matter whether those comics are related to the section or not; they’ve been listed under it in this library, and that’s nothing but the truth!

And since they’re filed under “Law and Popular Culture”, they’re in the exact right place they’re supposed to be!

The books next to those comics have little stickers that say “Law Pop Culture” on them! That proves the books are on the shelf meant for the “Law and Popular Culture” books!

You can’t fool me so easily, pal!

…but rather, the significance of the original testimony in light of this fact!

Recall, the witness clearly stated, “THEY HAVE THE ACE ATTORNEY OFFICIAL MANGA IN MY LAW LIBRARY I’M CRYING”

However, as we have just learned, they were in a section explicitly dedicated to depictions of the law in popular culture… Which perfectly makes sense! So let me ask you….

Why did the witness act like seeing the manga in that particular part of the library was such a big deal?!? I’ll tell you why…

It’s definitely a fact that the witness is a fan of Ace Attorney. And that’s where your claim falls apart.

Your Honor! The defense requests a short therapy session for the witness!

The witness stated “I AM CRYING” which means she must be exhibiting some sort of surprise at seeing the novels, but…

There’s discord in her voice!

You say that you were ‘crying’ when you saw the novels, but is that really true? Because you didn’t feel any surprise when you saw them! In fact, you exhibited no emotion at all!

Guess who spent the entire day yesterday draw the two dilf fusion

WOOOOOOOOO YEAH I FINALLY FINISHED THIS

THIS IS THE LONGEST TIME IVE EVER SPEND ON A PIECE AND IT WORTH IT I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Sure, evolution of etymology means words will pick up different slang meanings over time... but it a flat out lie that AAVE invented this word that has just been a corruption of "simple" for over a century...

Wikipedia can provide a brief glimpse into the word's history as it comes into common vernacular. There was a period of time where it was most commonly used as a pejorative in rap but that was far from the word's only usage.

i keep seeing AWFUL skintone ranges in art and picrews so here's some advice

skintone darkness is not a light to dark slider. the skin cloud is a good place to start:

notice how there are different undertones- yellow, pink, red, orange. and there's actually a good range of darkness. the skin cloud isn't perfect but it's a really good example!

i want to mention one specific example- there's not enough mixed race skintones represented in art. now obviously i can't speak for other races, but in my experience, i rarely see a good range of latino skintones (which sucks because i am a mixed race latino!!) not every latino person looks like this:

there are afro-latinos, white latinos, asian latinos, and so much more!! we are not represented by one single skin tone. there are different undertones, different darkness, etc.

and of course, this extends to other races. so please make sure you are representing as many people as possible. if you are not willing to put the effort in, help in other ways. people of color want to be represented.

here are some helpful charts i have found:

yes, i will admit, none of these are perfect resources. but they do help you see past that simple light to dark slider- there are so many unique skin tones!!

please, represent more people of color in your artwork.
