epithet jinxed songs
basically the songs that are on my ej playlist + my justification because why not
It’s My World (and we’re all living in it): ok I don’t really need to explain this. I’m just putting it here because it’s on the playlist
Us Against The Universe [CATU]: I imagine this as the main trio at the end of the first/museum arc
Bring On The Monsters [The Lighting Thief Musical]: The main trio after the second/villain arc, with the bridge (I’ll be back next summer you’ll see me again, I’ll be back next summer I’ll survive ‘til then) being Milo talking to D&C. I think Milo jokingly assuring them that he will survive until the next time they meet is funny
Good Kid [TLT Musical]: Milo’s outburst towards Cav at the bar, but longer and more musical.
(I like this as an angsty Milo song in general, the whole being blamed for what you can’t control thing)
Fine! [Mal Blum]: Also a song I like for Milo in general, I can see this one for Milo’s sort of character arc over the story, learning from Cav and Dakota and such
No Matter What [The Steven Universe Movie]: Just a really cute friendship song for the main trio, I’m imagining Zack and Melissa reassuring Milo.
Tightrope [The Greatest Showman]: Listen I know it’s not the original point at all but this song for the main trio’s friendship. In canon as well as the au. “Never sure, never know how far we could fall. But it’s all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view, walking a tightrope with you” DOES IT NOT FIT THEM I LOVE THEM
Two Birds: Yes its used for every fandom yes it’s common but it FITS for Milo and Melissa and Zack leave me alone
Bang! [AJR]: For Dakota and Cavendish, also for Banzai Blaster Milo
Hero [Faouzia]: Milo’s relationship with Mel and Zack. Like. (“If I were to save you would you do the same, and catch me if I’m falling”, and then for the scene where he tells them he understands if they don’t want to hang around him anymore after this, “and I’m fine if you leave but I’m hoping this time you won’t”) if it’s not obvious yet the main trio’s relationship is very important to me I love them so much
Busted[PnF]: ok. This sounds silly. But you know how there are three groups in the final arc and all of them are plotting against at least one of the others because they think they’re bad. That.
Ready As I’ll Ever Be [tangled the series]: listen I put this on every playlist for a story with a big confrontation or fight leave me alone
Kick It Up A Notch [PnF]: The final fight against Savannah
Villain [Stella Jang] a major thing is who is good and who is bad, so it fits
The Wall In My Head [Everyone’s Talking about Jamie]: Another angsty Milo song
I’m The Bad Guy [the one on my playlist is Caleb Hyles’ cover but also the original]: I don’t think I need to explain this one
Great At Crime [Epithet Erased]: Cavendish and Dakota. Because yeah.
Don’t Wake Me Up [The Hush Sound]: I needed an angsty Milo song for something that is mentioned and relevant to season one but will be much more important to season two
Addict [Hazbin Hotel, the version on my playlist is the Annapantsu cover because I love her and her covers so much holy crap]: It’s just a cool song considering all the crime that is going on
Guilty [MARINA]: related to the don’t wake me up one. The best description I can give is you know in Frozen Elsa accidentally hurts Anna with her magic and then isolates herself from Anna? That but the younger sibling and the isolation was not caused by the parents. And obviously he isn’t isolating himself physically, just avoiding her
Titanium [The version on my playlist is the Annapatsu one again]: I like this as a Milo song in general
That Beautiful Sound- Epithet Erased cover: listen. Some parts are a bit ooc, but imagine Milo singing this with Cav and Dakota. Especially the final verse. “I was inaudible, but now I can swear!” Like, that’s hilarious and adorable for Milo, but then “a round of applause, because I know all of you care” that is so cute my HEART I love this cover, I love Molly and Giovanni, and I love Milo and his gay uncles (in this case gay crime uncles)
The One Thing You Won’t Regret [Danielle Keiko Eyer]: ok this is just the perfect Milo song. I have made a post about this before. I need to reiterate. MILO (also go listen to this song it’s really good, as are all of her VaT7K songs)

the crime scene photo for gregorys death is just so chilling to me because its such a stark contrast to everything else we get in aa1. we witness cindy and mia’s deaths in full color, almost like we’re watching a movie. jack hammer’s death doesn’t quite look real; the expression on his face is quite unnerving, but the impact of it goes away when you notice his costume and how the unrealistic piercing wound in his chest just makes him look hollow inside. it’s leaning more towards what you visualize when you think of a murder scene, but falls short because of the stylization applied.
and i think this was deliberate because when you get to turnabout goodbyes and you see this photo. man. it hits. the way gregory’s eyes are hidden from view. the way he’s slumped over. the way we can’t quite see the wound but blood soaks his entire chest. how the illustration is framed, him in the corner, almost like an afterthought. the way he’s presented as such a normal person, looking just like any other businessman you could run into on the street. it rips ace attorney away from its largely-unbelievable themes—spirit mediums, three-day-long trials, witnesses whose last names are puns—and sends it hurtling back into our world. it’s just so striking and sticks with you for so long after you finish turnabout goodbyes
