I’m new to tumblr but love Black Butler. What are some good blogs to follow, and are there blogs to avoid?

Gosh, there are so many good blogs to follow, and it really just depends on the fandom content you want. Do a search on tumblr for #black butler or #kuroshitsuji, and I’m sure you will find lots of blogs to follow. You can narrow them down to your personal preferences as you go.

Blogs to avoid are based on the fandom content you don’t want, really. I just recently filtered a few tags because I was tired of seeing certain things on my dash. I automatically block porn blogs and sometimes random blogs that obviously follow just for follow-backs, since they are usually spam. I try not to block blogs that might have content I will enjoy, and that’s where the filtering option becomes your friend.

Matttheneverending

Here we go, the main reason I actually made this blog. To warn people about this piece of work.

Matt’s gone under a few different blogs in his time here, I remember at least ‘mfactor2′ for a few good reasons, and ‘mattscomeback’.

This guy has abused several partners in his time. He will constantly claim not to have done, but considering I am one of the ones he has abused in the past? Yeah, I’m not buying that. Maybe he didn’t mean to abuse them... but then again, that’s even worse, because it means he can very easily do it on accident. I’ve even heard that he basically attempted to rape a muse at some point. Of course, I don’t have any proof that he was abusing me... sorry, but I’m not the sort of person whose mind immediately jumps to ‘i should screenshot this’ when someone’s being abusive. Especially not back when this was happening. He’s also tried to guilt people with suicide attempts, although this is just something I’ve heard rather than experienced for myself, so this could be taken with a pinch of salt.

Let’s just assume he’s telling the truth about never having abused someone though. He’s still a creep. Most of the stuff I’ve seen of him since cutting ties with him include him just asking random muses who he’s never interacted with for for hugs, just out of the blue, which is... kinda creepy. That is, if he’s not trying to get into their pants if it’s a smut blog.

He also tries to claim autism as if it’s some sort of excuse for some of the crap he pulls... and as someone who DOES have autism, yeah, no. It’s no excuse, it’s not even a reason, and I doubt you have it at all, my dude. It’s a very common excuse posed by people when they’ve done shit.

Beyond that, his RP skills are nothing to boast about either. He writes in the first person, using an extremely overpowered self-insert who acts like the most stereotypical of anime heroes... sometimes crossing over into more questionable territory. Once I saw him in a fight where all he had to gain was getting into a muse’s pants, where he claimed he would tear apart reality to get to them.

Speaking of said fight... it was a giant mess. And the mess was entirely his fault. Assuming how his opponent’s powers would work, attempts at god-moding... you know, all the things in the book you wouldn’t want to be ticked? They were ticked. It was actually pretty embarrassing to see. Unfortunately I’ve misplaced the name of the blog that this fight took place on, and he’s changed accounts since then, so I don’t have the RP to hand. I did talk to the writer though, and they confirmed that yeah, he didn’t even ASK about their powers, he just made assumptions.

He’s also written some fairly self-indulgent drabbles of himself fighting various anime villains, which in and of itself isn’t a issue... until he gives those villains powers they don’t, and couldn’t realistically have, and have him breaking out of powers that his self-insert, even with all their power, couldn’t possibly break out of. Like the Tsukoyumi from Naruto, which his self-insert pretty much shrugged off with no effect to them, the reasoning never sufficently explained since a Sharingan is basically REQUIRED to resist it... basically, the self-insert is grossly self-indulgently overpowered, which... doesn’t make for a good character.

Currently he’s claiming that he’ll become the ‘disease’ we all think he is, so basically, sounds like he’s going to start abusing people again. Odd of him to straight out admit to it, but he’s never seemed to be the smartest of people.

tl;dr: Matt’s an abusive creep who tries to get hugs and/or sex from random muses he’s often never interacted with before, all while claiming he’s never done anything wrong. My advice? AVOID AT ALL COSTS. If he contacts you, block him.

Done! Thank you, and everyone please be careful of these two! -Jonas

Well, @aspectsinastrology has not responded to my many reblogs and one tag, so I’m making a post about it. 

Their entire blog down to the URL is plagiarism of the book Aspects in Astrology by Sue Tompkins - a great book that I received for my birthday, so I recognised it instantly. If you like the blog, I really recommend you support the author! It costs £16.99, which I know is rather expensive. There’s a Spanish version too according to the author’s website.

There’s no sign of quotation or crediting, so as far as I’m concerned, aspectsinastrology is trying to pass it off as their own work. Seriously, not a single word on the entire blog is their own. If they don’t respond soon, I’ll report them, and if nothing happens, I’ll contact the author. Theft is serious.

Please reblog this and spread the word so people stop reblogging and following them! They don’t deserve credit for passing off someone else’s good work as their own.

Here's another blog to block. Standard 'don't practice witchcraft if you're a Christian and want to go to heaven.' Please don't harass them as they are a minor. Just block them, so you don't see their posts pop up and move on
