Dear Badness the Human,

I’m sorry to hear that.  We’ll see to it that he faces justice.

Dear BadnesstheHuman,

As you can probably see, I put it next to the link because I don’t know how to make it link to that exact time, eheh. Yeah, sorry.

Love,

Dear Badness the Human,

I had my own blog?  I don’t remember making one of those.  Was I writing all that in my sleep or something?  Your guess is as good as mine on what made me stop.

I never knew so many people cared about little ol’ me!  What’d I do to gain so many fans, besides being so adorable?

Dear Badness,

That shouldn’t be too hard. I just have to think about...

(I wonder if I should get a cat. Maybe a nice calico would help me deal with the insanity of this office.)

Dear BadnesstheHuman,

You’re not going to send me each line of the song, are you?

Dear BadnesstheHuman,

To be frank, I find Wright’s disbarment simply outrageous.  To think that a lawyer of his reputation could be stripped of his badge after one minor slip-up is simply unthinkable!  What sort of court system is this?

(One that’s incredibly easy to exploit, at the very least...)

As for his client, I could not care less about what happens to him.  Whether he is truly guilty or not, his little disappearing act was the most cowardly thing he could’ve done.

(A mistake he shall deeply regret should we ever see each other again...)

Dear AnthonyDeadman,

Co-Mod: I actually never heard of Fate/Grand Order before those letters started being sent.  I haven’t had the chance to explore it in-depth, but so far I’ve found the characters (or at least the sender’s portrayal of them) to be quite intriguing.  That sounds a lot like the characters from another game I love, in fact.  What’s it called again...?

Anyway, I’m glad you and others have enjoyed the FGO character letters, and I’m with you on the idea of the sender starting an ask blog of their own if they can.  You do a good job bringing them to life, whoever you are.

Dear Anonymous,

Co-Mod: Thanks!  I personally don’t mind answering letters from the same person, but I do recommend sending no more than three per day.  I know it’s tempting to get in as many letters as you can while they’re still in your head, but please don’t forget to be fair to your fellow letter writers.

Also, as I’ve mentioned in the past, letters that ask the same question to multiple characters will be deleted past the third one.  Be sure to spread them out if you want them answered.

The Mod: Co-Mod got it. It’s sort of an unwritten rule, actually. Feel free to write in as much as you like, but leave some space between your letters. Give other people a turn. Pretend it’s arcade etiquette of the 90′s.  On a related note, if you want multiple characters answering the same letter, that’s fine, but pick a handful and stop there. After a while it just becomes spam. It all comes down to imagining what you’d like to see from other people. You want to see your letters answered and you don’t want to see the same letter repeatedly. Let everybody play!

Dear chanto-love,

The Mod: I had a couple in my heyday; one for Rhoda Teneiro and one for Luke Atmey. I just got enough letters for them to fill an entire day, so I just made small events out of them.  As for waves of popularity, I don’t recall anything too substantial. The main cast members tend to get more mail, obviously, but side characters are peppered in all over the place.

Co-Mod: I remember that happening once with Vera Misham.  There was also a string of letters to various PLvsAA characters (even one that was removed from the game).  It’s fun to let one character have the stage for a while, but again, please keep your fellow writers in mind.

Dear Anonymous,

Co-Mod: Nope, it’s just a matter of time (in fact, your letters should be posted by the time this is).  As I’m typing this, there are 1050 letters in the queue, so it takes about a month for a letter to reach the bottom and get posted.  I happen to like fan art, by the way, so thanks for sharing it!

Dear Anonymous,

Co-Mod: I don’t, sorry to say.  I assumed it was made by the sender, and that they made it by turning his evil grin upside-down.  As someone who knows how tough sprite edits can be, I have to say nice job to whoever made it.

Dear Beholder,

Co-Mod: I’m in full agreement, except for the part about making Redd White look smart.  He has them both topped in the narcissism category, but I’d say Redd takes the stupidity cake by far.

I also agree that L’Belle’s plan was flawed at best, but I imagine he spent more time making his precious hair dye than plotting out an effective murder/framing/theft scheme.  Speaking of which, that had to be his dumbest decision -- going through that whole mess instead of thinking for one second about SELLING THE FLIPPIN’ HAIR DYE!  That might’ve easily made a huge dent in his debt, but thanks to his narcissism, we’ll never know.

Dear skibot99,

Co-Mod: I’m slowly going stir crazy, but other than that, I’m staying healthy.  I hope the same can be said for as many of you as possible.  As for April Fools’ Day, I’m typing this about 30 minutes before the event started, so there you go.

Mod Kristoph: As a college student, this feels like an extended vacation that somehow doesn’t feel like a vacation. Still, it isn’t hard for me since I’m an introvert.

Dear Inferno,

Co-Mod: No need to apologize -- I can’t blame you for wanting to send a bunch of letters during that event (I even sent one myself), but I still had to follow my self-imposed rule of not answering more than three of the same question.

Dear ajanisapprentice,

Co-Mod: There are times when I get a little fed up with certain types of questions, but I don’t mind dealing with them to get to the fun ones.  I don’t get tired of the antics, considering how many I’ve pulled in the past.

(DANG it, should’ve seen this coming...)

Dear BadnesstheHuman,

Co-Mod: Thanks for letting us know!  You can resubmit the letter if you want, otherwise I’ll just leave it alone.  I’m just glad you've been able to find some joy when you needed it here.  It makes me feel like this blog is more than just a hobby for me.  I’ll give it my best shot!

Dear Anthony,

Co-Mod: Sorry you weren’t able to send that, but here’s this as consolation:

That’s pretty much the face I made when I read that idea.

Dear skibot99 again,

Co-Mod: Thanks a bunch!  This idea was mine, but we usually brainstorm about what we want to do for holidays.  I’m glad this one worked out, because I was a little afraid it would result into a tidal wave of extra letters, and...well, it did, but at least it was a manageable one.  Thanks for your help with them, Mods!

Apologies to everyone who has “Popipo” stuck in their head, by the way.

Dear BadnesstheHuman,

That assumes the claim that “all rules have exceptions” is true, doesn’t it?  I’ve always believed there were some rules that don’t have exceptions, like treating others the way you want to be treated.  I can’t think of any scenario where that rule wouldn’t apply, can you?

Dear BadnesstheHuman,

Such a piercing question to lead with...  Could they be interested in you, Lauren?  Or is it just your heart deceiving you again?  You’ve got to respond, quick!

Dear BadnesstheHuman,

Hmm...  Let me take a quick look at what other versions of “Apollo” are out there.

Wow, there’s a bunch of them.  “Apulu”...“Paean”...and the epithet “Phoebus.”  Something tells me he’d prefer to keep things original.  He’s mentioned more than once how much he hates nicknames, anyway.

”Burning Bird” sounds like a perfect superhero name for Mr. Wright, though!  It just lends itself to a catchy theme song, doesn’t it?

Dear jnv11,

I always just moved forward with new information rather than editing past letters. If at all possible, I try to avoid anything that might contradict later, but when Capcom makes the rules, we just have to play along.

-The Mod

Co-Mod: That’s actually never been a problem for me or any of the newest Mods, since there haven’t been any new Ace Attorney games since I joined.  If there ever is one (and I’m hoping and praying there will be), we’ll probably use the same strategy described above.

Dear Inferno,

Co-Mod: That’s confidential, I’m afraid.

Dear Director Hickfield,

I think the entire blog would have to be quarantined until a cure is found.

-The Mod

Co-Mod: Sorry, but, like...no.

Dear BadnesstheHuman,

Hello right back atcha.

That’s a pretty chill groove and even the title, Dreams, fits with my personal, sleepy aesthetic. Honestly, not usually what I’ll seek out to listen to, but I like it. Maybe I should check out some more. Thanks!

-The Mod

Co-Mod: I remember watching that Phoenix Wright video a while ago, but it was definitely a treat to see it again, so thanks!  The instrumental song was very enjoyable as well, even it wasn’t for me.  And a drawing would be awesome!  ...Again, even if it isn’t for me.

Dear yuesworld,

Co-Mod: I’m ashamed to admit that I nearly forgot about your previous letter -- sorry about that!  Needless to say, I’m nothing short of THRILLED to see how much effort you’ve put toward translating our letters for the sake of Ace Attorney fans in other lands!  You have no idea how touching that is for me in particular.

I also greatly appreciate your compliments as well.  I still occasionally wonder if I’m still making the characters sound authentic and not just sound like me pretending to be them, so it’s great to hear that I and the other Mods haven’t lost our edge there.  Thank you sincerely for sharing our letters with Chinese speakers, and I’m happy your blog was able to gain some popularity from it as well!

As for shipping, I always try not to force any kind of ships in any of my letter responses, so if you have any examples of responses that seem like they’re doing so, please share them with me.  Much as I’d enjoy seeing any of the ships you mentioned become real, I don’t want to break canon just to make it happen.

Thank you again for your translation work, and go ahead and give your readers a thank you from all of us as well!

Dear Meatshield,

Co-Mod: Thanks for letting us know.  That slipped under my radar somehow.

Dear meat-sword-and-shield,

Nice job deducing all that, but you forgot to say:

Dear Mothmouth,

Co-Mod: No problem!  I made that way more difficult than I needed to, but at least now it’s a thing that exists.  I still have your original letter, by the way:

I ended up just having the Judge do a couple of bewildered blinks, but I honestly don’t know what he would say in response to that.  I mean, how are you supposed to continue a trial when you’re staring down the barrel of a loaded Thnikkaman?

Dear Mothmouth again,

P. S.

Co-Mod: During my “leave of absence” I found the time to watch Team LordIban’s Operation: Turnabout in its entirety.  Looking past the lengthiness and the so-so voice acting, I’d say it’s a very inventive and entertaining piece of work.  Have a Co-Mod Seal of Approval, comrades!

Hey, I like it!  Pearly says my hair is hard to draw, but I’d say you nailed it!

I’d work on making it more symmetrical next time, though.  My mouth looks like I’m about to sneeze.
