Karasu, Yukihira is getting more hot than ever. First Eijun, not Yukihira... My heart is going to explode soon ;u;

I feel offended, this is illegal and rude.

He is too hot. All of them are.Let’s not forget Hitsugaya too, let’s not forget that Nami-pyon.

I am calling my lawyer. They are dangerous and will eradicate humanity if it continues.

do you ship skysolo?

I cannot stress how this little precious spam of messages somehow managed to make me giggle all night long. Coming to the dark side never felt so tempting before. I don’t know who you are dear anon-chan, but please come and tempt me even more. ~ (Also, don’t hide your siful self from me. ~ ) I’m currently one leg on the deck of this ship, like a cat that is unsure whether it wants to get in o r not. Look what you’ve done Nami-pyon! @firebyfire

Post more Hirunaka, you were posting a lot of it so why you don't do it now?

First of all: Greetings, Anon-chan!

True, I used to post a lot of HnR not so long ago, when the series was still ongoing. Ongoing is the key word here. Ever since Yamamori-sensei wrapped Hirunaka no Ryuusei up, fandom’s activity plummeted. There is little QUALITY content appearing in the tags and even less for me to reblog. Recently almost all that I can see in the tag (and I check it almost daily) are reposts of someone’s edits, arts, things taken from weheartit, some poorly edited (or not edited at all) manga caps etc. - basically trash. That’s the reason why I don’t flood your dashborad with HNR anymore. I can assure you of one thing, whenever something of value will appear in the tag I’ll make sure to share it on my tumblr.

*sends you cookies&chocolate* Take care, baby. I know how it hurts when your fav manga ends ;u;

*takes them* Thank you Nami-chan, thank you. Fortunately the series is not ending yet (someone mistranslated the annoucement of the mangaka), but the newest retrace is still heartbreaking so cookies and chocolate will be perfect to soothe the pain of my broken heart. ♥

Dear Karasu-sama, what do you think about what is happening in the Chihayafuru tag right now? Personally I am upset more then ever. Honestly I am not even a Taichihaya supporter and I don't like Taichi all that much, but still I can't help to feel digusted seeing what's going on there.

Hello there, anon-chan. ( gosh, you really called me sama? I don’t deserve it! o//////o )

Ah, yes… the tag. It is going to be a rather longish rant here, so feel free to scroll past it if you’re not interested in personal opinions of any kind. I’ll put the “read more” later.

The tag - It’s been bothering me for a while now. I heard that the arguments on the mangafox forum are far worse, but, honestly, I never expected them to reach tumblr. 

And no honey, you’re not the only one who is disgusted by what is happening in the tag. (Though in my case it is disgust mixed with disappointment.) Some people are plain rude. There is no better way to describe it. I remember, not so long ago, it used to be completely different? People were helping out one another if there was a need, sharing their thoughts on what was happening in the manga and I can’t recall any bigger argument bettween fans even if their opinions were drastically different. Man, I was so proud to be a part of this community! Was…

This tag (and also fandom) used to be so soothing and mature at the same time, but today even I ask myself a question if I really want to check for new posts and updates and it’s surprising how often the answer is “no”. It never happened before, but what’s going on now in the fandom makes me want to drop not only the tag but also the series altogether. It’s somewhat tragic for me because Chihaya furu was very, very important in my life. 

I don’t really care who ships what, because we all have the right so sail whatever ship we want, supprot whoever we want, be it Taichi or Arata, but it absolutely does not give anyone the right to insult other people simply because they don’t share our point of view. 

If I had to pick between Taichi or Arata, I’d pick Taichi. I have my reasons, obviously. (Though it is so damn hard to pick between those two babies, I just can't control the feels)  But that doesn’t mean I hate people who are supporting Arata and that doesn’t mean that were no moments when I thought “Taichi you little prick, damned asshole, fuck you.” Cause babe there was a lot of them. There is a lot of moments I wish he acted differently, like explaining to his team what are all the reasons he decided to leave, or not actually kissing Chihaya, but it's up to Suetsugu-sensei how she writes the story. I am realistic when it comes to the charactes I can see their flaws and all the rest. It helps to appreciate the whole creation that the mangaka tried to present. Imagine that two of my closest friends are supporting Arata x Chihaya (hardcore Arata fans tbh), and guess what? We’re still friends. No one said anything bad against one another because of what was going on in the manga. Having different opinions and discussing them is, at least for me, the very foundation of each fandom, but I can’t say the same about shipping wars. 

(To be completely honest I’d rather ship Chihaya with Shinobu or with Sudo than with any of the boys. Simply because I like the dynamics more. But don’t forget that this story is not all about the romance. It is about Karuta, it is about friendship about working your way towards a bigger goal. Those are the things that should play the main part here, things that are important. I’d rather see now Chihaya playing for the queen title than getting into a romantic relationship of any kind. Becuase she’s gonna do it soon, right? As narrative suggests.)

People it doesn’t take much to maintain the friendly atmosphere, or if not friendly then at least healthy. It doesn’t take much to tag spoilers, tag ‘hate’ or black list tags that you really can’t stand to see. 

And I can’t agree with people saying that it’s all the taichihaya fans fault. Both sides are to blame and both sides know it. I think it all comes in waves though and sometimes one side is more annoying sometimes it’s the other, but, all in all, both parites are at fault. I am talking for the fandom in general. People can do / say disgusting things, trying to hide behind the excuse ‘people being disgusting because they like Taichi’ or ‘people being assholes because they don’t like Taichi’ (it’s all about him recently, isn’t it?) but it DOES NOT give you, me or anyone else the right to insult someone or make that person feel bad because of what he / she ship, like or support. (wow, I said it twice already, huh?)Yes, I know there was a huuuuuge spam of the “Taichi’s confession” scene, recently. And yes, I was annoyed by it too, but you need to take into consideration that there are people who only just read that chapter, wanted to share  their thoughts, emotions and so on. 

To sum up this freaking rant. I am greatly disappointed, again. Some people are acting cruel, unfair and really, really childlish. Fandom is about the group not about the unit, and people should be a bit more selfless and undestanding when dealing with the rest of the community. 

I think the situation will last at least till the next chapter is up (or maybe even much, much longer) because some of the users seem to have way too much fun provoking others. Unfortunately. Browsing this tag is not a pleasant experience anymore. Despite all of the efforts of members such as : @ohliviablackthorn, impassionategods selva3bd and so on and on. Anyways, thank you for your question, dear anon-chan. I hope my reply didn't scared you and that you're somewhat satisfied with it.

happy birthday!!! i hope you have a wonderful and amazing day!!

Thank you so much, dear anon-chan! Thank you so much! *tackle hugs*

You were posting more of KnK and Noragami before, weren't you? What happened?

Ah, it’s certainly true! I used to post more of those series before and the reason for that is very simple : they were ongoing back then. ongoing anime = more active tags

more active tags = more things to reblogIsn’t that right? 

I know that currently both Noragami and Kyoukai no Kanata tags seem to be pretty much alive, but, let’s say…, 80% of the new posts is garbage. Reposts of someone’s art or edits are the worst trash possible. Same goes for things taken from zerochan and weheartit. Hence you won’t find them on my blog. I respect other people’s hard work and effort too much to support assholes reposting stuff.

That leaves around 20% …Now, call me picky or whatever you like, but I reblog only things that I find appealing in one way or another. Those are the posts I want to share with other people that decided to follow my blog. My personal taste results in narrowing the amount of posts to 10% or maybe even less. 

And if you look more closely, you’ll see that there still are days when I reblog more of KnK and Noragami, simply because something interesting appeared in the tag. I can give you my word that whenever something of good quality (imo of course) will appear in either of those tags, you will find it reblogged by me soon after.

Ehehe, sorry, it turned out pretty long… but I hope you are satisfied with my answer! 

[r3dhawk]

sorry but i have to inform you the gifset of nightray siblings you reblogged is a repost

Ah, thank you very much, anon-san, I didn’t noticed that. I’ll remove it right away! P.S. If you, by any chance, know the link to the original post would you mind sending it to me? I’d like to somehow make it up to the original poster. Thank you once more!
