I hope you take anonymous tips. You know how toxic the Nevermore tags have gotten on Tumblr lately? There is a Discord server that a group of people from Tumblr hang out in where pretty much all they do is talk about their Nevermore grievances.
They create new discourse for fun, and make memes together to upset people on the tag. One of the loudest voices in there is the Nevermore Confessions mod. They use that blog to start drama because they get bored. That potential man meme Red commented on, they made it together to provoke her, because she'd just commented on another post so they knew she was logged in. Then they dogpiled her in the comments and reblogs when she took the bait, and chased her off Tumblr again.
Honestly their behavior towards Red in general is creepy and parasocial, they talk about her constantly and slander her like it's a sport. It gets really personal and they make up lies about her together like pretending she sends them death threats even though they all know she never has. They even joke about how they'd be canceled if anyone found out. I am a long-time lurker in there, and I have screencaps but can't send them to you anonymously.
You don't need to take my word for it though, it's a public server in the Discord directory, under the tag nevermore-webtoon. It is called "Quoth the Raven, Nevermore." You can join and look for yourself. I think they should be exposed. This small group of people has talked about trying to get Red to quit the series and they've even paid for Patreon just so they can stalk her. I feel bad watching it happen but I can't go up against them myself, they scare me.
Anon, thanks for your reporting, and don't worry, you're not alone- our reporters have been observing QtRN personally for quite some time. This gave us the final push to really want to share this server with the fandom as a whole and stop hoarding it all to ourselves. We really think that EVERYONE should go join that server at the link here and see EXACTLY what they're up to! If you do, please do it only for research and spread of positivity, and please be sure not to harass or harm, but of course that goes without saying!
Servers do grow and change however, and sometimes things get deleted. Just in case this happens due to the large influx of new users we expect they'll get- which would be awful suspicious, and an admission of guilt, really- we did compile the entirety of their nevermore-grievances channel into a handy document that people can find here.
We also want to post some screenshots that absolutely fascinated us right here for all to see! We'll leave those below the cut, but boy, everyone should check them out. They're snippets of some INCREDIBLY interesting discussions!
Pulling the strings in the tumblr fandom
Ever felt like you are out of the loop of the Nevermore fandom here on tumblr? That takes come out of nowhere, and mean posts spring up, then garner attention, despite everyone you know with a tumblr being a sweetie? Maybe there's a reason. This server, and the grievances channel in particular, acts as a hub for a group of select tumblr users to plan out things to post- up to and including timing of posts, content, and even who they all block.
Luckily, they block a lot. If you've had anything they consider a "bad opinion," you may not ever see their posts. "Bad opinions" (such as disliking Annabel, or liking Lenore's spectre) get posted in the server for all to add to their block list. In all honesty- good on them for curating the experience they want to see, but strange for people so vocal about criticism being important and Red not being able to handle criticism!
Sometimes, however, they don't block. Sometimes, they desire to pick a fight.
And sometimes, they even attempt manipulation of the creators themselves... or one creator, in particular, though we'll get into that later.
Airing dirty laundry
Even if you're not on tumblr, if you have interacted with them at all in the fandom, you are not safe. If they disagree with your opinions, they will put you down and mock you. If you are someone they have no personal beef with but you associate with those who they do, you still may not be safe. We have noted both recruitment attempts (tell your friend to come to the cooler server! tell your friend not to talk to this person, they're so harmful!) and put-downs based on this.
Once they have their eyes on you, anything you do or say to them or around them is up for scrutiny. While sometimes these conversations are brought to DMs, other times the naming and shaming happens very publicly. One member of the server is also a former patron, and there are allusions to that person sharing things said in the official server's patreon-chat... a place that sources confirm is generally considered both safe and private otherwise.
Members here banned from the official Discord have also tried to circumvent things to continue to have eyes on the server, though this seems to have failed.
Martin (or, as they're known here on tumblr, littlekandiclown)
On tumblr and on the official Nevermore Discord server, Martin seems to be an absolute sweetheart at times, and at least one of the reporters for NWN looked upon them fondly. However, seems that behind closed doors that sweetness wears off, and they're almost disturbingly violent in intention (or at the very least, in her sense of humor).
Obsessed with (and incredibly hypocritical about) Red
Much of their attention goes to fixating on Red- her reactions, the way they think she'll react, and similar.
The thing about this is that much of what they critique her for is the same things that they themselves do: disagreeing with people on tumblr, countering opinions, defending her friends, and frankly, just living her best life.
One thing that has come up is that Red doesn't frequently block people, to which they say she should. That if she doesn't want to see the criticisms, she should block. However, when she states that she is leaving tumblr (both the first time when she limited account usage to posting promos and professionalism only) and the second time, this is criticized and mocked.
A broken clock
...is right twice a day. Some of the things they bring to light in this server are actually things that should be discussed and brought to light and even somewhat policed in the fandom. Usage of slurs, AI, fastpass spoilers, and the inactivity of the official Discord mods are all rightfully criticized.
Therefore, our ask is you do not come into this with hate in your heart and thinking of these people as enemies or potential enemies. They are flawed humans, as are we all, and they are doing their best. However, the best of most people don't involve mass schemes, obsession with a minor public figure, and violent intentions.
Just as they are right to criticize others, so should others be to criticize them, and it is in this spirit that this document has been released. Our greatest hope here at NWN is that people will join their (again, public facing) server and bring in light, positivity, and the courage to call out things that need to be called out in the channels there.
That said, please don't counter-harass these users in your pursuit of the truth or a better fandom. Most of the users of this server do not seem active in the grievances channel, and the server has many positive notes- namely, a strong community that other public Nevermore servers don't seem to have. Come in to fact check and work towards change, but not to harm or harass.
why won't you get along with Annabel? wouldn't Lenore love that the two most important people in her life are bonding? instead of at each others throats and throwing hands?
we all know annabel wins the fist fights
get along? with her?
HAHA! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!
me getting along with Annabel has to be the most impossible things to ever happen.
and Lenore has tried to make us get along, but then my spidey senses tingled and i realized she was an evil woman.
