Hey there mods! How are you? Hope your doing well :) I'd like to ask, how would you fix the game Angels of Death/Satsuriku no Tenshi?

Thank you anon! It’s been a long time, huh? We’re all doing well, though we haven’t had much activity here so we’ve all kinda been slacking off on replies. But a new year brings new fandoms and sure enough, some of ‘em need fixing!Sadly, none of us are very familiar enough with Angels of Death to know what problems it has just by the name alone! But Mod Lace is watching some playthroughs, so if you can give us a specific problem/ aspect of the game you’d like to see covered, we can absolutely do our best!- Mod Patch

I'm just wondering, is there anything that could be fixed about Hiyoko Saionji to make her more likeable?

I would say she would need to change the target of her contempt; Tsumiki is a semi-relatable character. She’s timid, easily startled, and is someone the players love and feel almost a parental protectivity over. Having Saionji attack her relentlessly is a MAJOR contributer for why people seem to hate her. If she was more focused on someone like say, Kazuichi or even Komaeda, then it’d feel more warranted. Instead, her picking on Tsumiki just made us more overjoyed at the outcome of a certain chapter..

She’s also very nasty but then turns around and becomes dependant on Mahiru. I think people tend to be of the mindset that if you’re going to act like an ass, be prepared to be treated like one. If she were more like Kuzuryuu and actually anticipated the backlash she would get from being, essentially, a little shit, then people might be more inclined to love her. Likely in the ‘uwu problematic fave, yassss!!‘ kind of way.

So if I were to change her, I’d make Hiyoko more open to people lashing out back at her, or at least heavily disciplining her [because thats a thing that was REALLY needed a whole dang lot], and I’d make sure she picked on someone who ‘deserved‘ it [no one deserves to be bullied but narratively speaking] or someone who was equally awful or whom the player cannot relate as strongly to at the very least.

have any of you been spoiled for ndrv3? if yes, would you fix it in some way? i've seen a lot of people complain over it and i can understand some of their points.

Yeah, we’ve heard basic plot elements but we’re not entirely sure what’s fact and what’s fiction.

I think it’s a case of whether or not we like the idea of the game being very meta. From what we’ve seen it seems like the game is trying to be quirky and break the 4th wall, so we can understand why people are conflicted.

Personally I don’t like overly meta fiction. I like 4th wall jokes and the odd bit of self aware humour, but as a full game plot, not to mention an entire ending, I’m not a fan of it.

But for now, I’ll just say we’ll see what happens when the game itself comes out.

How would you fix Mikan Tsumiki's fanservice bs? I love her but the fanservice is so strong it's nausiating

Hmmm, I do feel your pain there anon. I also like Tsumiki, even moreso since we’ve all caught up on the series, but I think I have the solution for her fanservice.

My suggestion for all of SDR2 would be to have her despair fever evident from the beginning; have her do or say little things that seem off but have an impact later. The fanservice time she takes up could be used for some really interesting foreshadowing so it’d have been nice to have her drop a few hidden hints.

Also, this is just a tiny thing but I think Tsumiki would look even better in a cute pale pink/pale yellow turtleneck instead of her nurse’s shirt. Don’t ask me why, I’d just kill to see her in something cute rather than sexy.

How would you fix Sanji's character in One Piece? I'm chill with him being a womaniser but he does and says some pretty gross stuff

I assume this is related to the ask about Sanji’s reaction to the island of cross-dressing men?

I’d say I would either have him just be confused instead of disgusted so he could focus on getting back to the others, or I’d have him grow fond of the men and maybe even find an appreciation for bulkier women. Have him learn that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes!

i wish i coulld use the character busts from pocket mirror [yes i played the game and i hated ending one] [but i LOVED the game]

Yeah!! They’re so pretty!! Ｏ(≧���≦)Ｏ

I’d say if you want something like the character busts, our artist is super good at mimicking game art!! .ﾟ☆(ノё∀ё)ノ☆ﾟ.

Their url is TapesToast2Doors, so if you want to, ask them about commissions!! ヽ(´∀｀ヽ)

(1/2)OPasker: nvm then, don't spoil yourself for me ^^ If you don't care tho [(spoilers) in Sanji's arc, he is sent to an island full of really manly men(?) in pink and frilly dresses who chase him around& force him to wear a dress too, when he is reunited w/ his crew he faints bc of a nosebleed bc he gets to finally see "real women".]

(2/2) I def agree w/ you on the women part! like the only women who dont have an hourglass figure w/ giant boobs& horrible waist are either old, kids, or ones who are fat for jokes (plus a few exceptions who are super bulky) Compared to the men who are super cartoonish and different it's kinda :/        

Oooh, okay! Yeah that’s pretty iffy of Sanji. I guess the only way to fix that would be for him to have been happy to see the crew again. Or like, better yet, it’d have been way better for him to have maybe become friends with the men and heck, I’d have paid to see Sanji in a dress.   

And yes, I would love to see some cute chubby One Piece girls; hell, Vivi would be cute with a bit more muscle and Nami with a chubby tummy would be the cutest shit.

Maybe I can convince our artist Toasty to draw us some cute One Piece character ideas, but knowing them they’ll make like, 400 of them.

OP asker: have you watched up to the 2years time skip ? I yes, how would you fix Sanji's, Usopp's and Luffy's arch while they were away ? I mean it was very transmisogynynistic & fatphobic..b. I don't remember the other ones so idk about them

Sadly none of us are even that far; Mod Patch is only up to about volume 23 of the manga and myself and Mod Lace aren’t too far in. Thus it’s been hard to find the respective articles needed, but I assume, going by what I WAS able to find, that you might mean the arc with a character called Emporio Ivankov?

For what I could find on the wiki and such, it mentions that his Horu Horu no Mi affects such things as body temperature, pigmentation, gender, and growth, so I can see where your mentioning of it being transphobic and fatphobic come from, however, as I’ve said, none of us are far along enough yet to judge.

However, as a small comment on the show as it is, I think I’d want to see more diverse female characters without every plus sized woman turning into a pre-fruit Alvida [I think tha’s her name, yeah?].

Like, looking up the horu horu no mi, there were drawings of the gender swapped cast and the female version of Usopp is gorgeous even with the long nose. Heck she looks prettier than Nami tbh.

Basically, I think the issues with One Piece are more design based than story based so we can’t really off much excpt for Oda to relax with the over-sexualisation and shaming of larger women.

Do any of the mods watch one piece ? If Yes how would you fix it ?

Well, Mod Patch is getting into it, but none of us has watched the full series or read it up til now, but other than that, we need you to be more specific;

- Is there a specific character you want us to fix?

- Is there a plot point you want us to try and make work?

- Has there been a massive fandom let down that you’d like a fix for?

As much as we try, we can’t fix with a fracture, so if there’s something specific, then you can message us that, though if there’s more than one thing, you can send them all for one mod, or you can send them individually for different mods to answer!

What is the best advice you would give to someone who has never read My Immortal but has seen enough posts about it to know not to go near it?

Really, I'd say just try reading it. Like, most people I know who love it or hate it did make the effort to read it.

But if you want those dank quotes [tm] but you don't want to read the book, just look up the wiki, it's got some great highlights and it might even convince you to read the full thing. Either way, just try to look into whatever it is about the fic that catches your attention.

what is you guys' opinion on the cursed child?

Oh lordy. Well for a start, it's not a Harry Potter book. And what I mean by that is that it's the wrong formula and the wrong genre.

Harry Potter is a fantasy that's full of mystery. Every book has a new mystery to solve, a new threat to thwart, and the pacing is generally on point for the story.

However.

The Cursed Child isn't a Fantasy-Mystery. It's a vague Sci-Fi parody of a Harry Potter fanfic.

That isn't to say the book couldn't have worked, because until the time-travel, it was actually okay at the start; it felt like a Harry Potter book and, despite the lack of character built up for our protagonists, it shook up the performance by having no fantastical elements happening as the  years passed by.

It shook up the formula and that's pretty cool, and it still felt like the beginning to a Harry Potter book. The issue resides within the time travelling sections.

There's always going to be massive issues with time travel in stories that even Doctor Who can't get right. You'll have plotholes and paradoxes everywhere and quite frankly, The Cursed Child isn't able to do it. Even the events James sees were so badly thought out even a child could do better.

For example, one scene has James placed at the TriWizard Tournament where he witnesses the crowd's reaction to Harry; in the book it's noted only that the booing is "slightly LESS for Harry than the other contestants".

NO. They should be booing, at this point in the original story, even Ron thought Harry was a dirty cheater! This scne could've been used to show that "hey, maybe dad DIDN'T have things so easy" or even if it made James just wonder why they were booing would make the story so much better!!!

Really, when it comes down to it, The Cursed Child isn't a Harry Potter book; it's a semi-okay fanfiction that parades itself as the genuine article.

how would you fix the infamous, the dreaded, the horrible "My Immortal"????? (while this is meant as a joke, i would love to hear you guys' opinion.)

I'm gonna sum it up for you with this gorgeous quote from our Mod lace after she first read it;

"THIS IS THE WORST THING I'VE EVER READ!! BUT I LOVE IT!?! WHY DO I LOVE IT?!? PATCH HELP ME, WHY DO I LOVE IT!?!?!?!? I'M SMALL AND CONFUSED!!!!!"

Honestly, for a badfic, it's pretty fuckin' good, all I'd change are the more overly-cringey youthemisms. Those are about the only parts I couldn’t handle.

Honestly though, Satanist Hagrid is my fuckin' aesthetic.

im not the anon who asked about rick and morty, but how do you feel about the relationship between Jerry and Beth ? I feel like its just forced, like every episode they think about divorce/taking a break but every time they com back together and sometimes it's just weird like that episode they get the goggles to see their alternative selves or the one with the alien couple therapist... idk...

Well I can see what you mean! （・□・；）

But I really think it just fits the show's wild canon! Plus I think it'd be much harder to plausibly have them divorce or have one of them die in terms of the story so I don't think a split in the family will be due.  (x_x☆

Especially since alternate versions can just replace originals in the case of a death! (;-_-)/

But at least it's good to see people are so concerned about Jerry and Beth! I love them both so much! I WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY, DINGLE DANG IT!!!  (╬ Ò ‸ Ó)
