Okay. Those who know me know that I’m not the type of person that likes to make serious posts. But this situation has been on my radar since Wednesday, and has turned into borderline harassment.

This is a warning to be wary of the Naruto anon rpers.

This is not a call to attack anyone. This is not a call to harass anyone. This is a warning. Trigger Warning: Harrasment, Death threats, SA threats, Stalking and Abuse will be mentioned under the cut. If you can not handle these topics, feel free to not click read more. However, it would be appreciated if you relogged this post to spread awareness.

Some people may already be aware that I used to interact with this group, and be on friendly terms with Sasukeanon, but not anymore. I have blocked most of them, and they may have already blocked me as well by now. Honestly? I'm just disappointed. So around January 30th, someone sent a hate post to Hidan anon mentioning a few of their fellow blogs. Understandable, they mentioned Kisame anon to ask them what was going on, as they have also recently been getting hate.

They're trying to figure out who this possibly could be, but then out of nowhere, Orochimaru's anon says this:

To which??? Okay, some people just type similar to each other? I've seen it happen. Anyway, when Kisame tries to explain that they've had problems with people in the past and listing off who it could have been, Sasuke comes in with this:

How they came to this conclusion, I don't know. But they then suddenly start going on a tirade and start making threats.

This took me off guard. I knew Sasuke could be harsh in some of their posts, which made me uncomfortable, but this was the first time I've seen them jump to death threats. This is no way to talk to someone. Especially when you have no evidence against. And don't have any evidence, because all you have done is claim things, never show proof, and then harass Kisame further (along with your friends) when they were trying to prove their innocence to everyone. Even in posts that had nothing to do with any of you!

(Note that Sasuke's mod was handling Hidan's blog at the time of this)

You keep saying that Kisame has been sending death threats and SA threats yet show no proof to back up your claims when someone confronts you on it. Instead, insult them. And type in all caps to try and be intimidating.

These were in response to cherrypiesakurokun's posts on the matter, as like me they have also been talking to Kisame about what has been happening. The top one was after the Naruto anon blog added them in a callout and basically implied they were a death threats/SA threat defender. All because what? They tried to be supportive and wanted everyone to make up? I agree that they probably shouldn't have jumped in, but that's not fair.

The blog you claim that is Kisame's main isn't even her main. This is her main. She linked me her Reddit account to prove this.

Do these blogs look remotely the same??? The threats you claim were sent by Kisame to herself hold critical information that held her real name and where she lives. Why would someone do to themselves, risk doxing themselves? It doesn't make any sense. She's sent me proof of that as well, but I will not be showing them here because that is private information. Kisame told me that she gave you her discord, you could have asked her what was going on. But you never did. You just jumped to conclusions.

When I asked Kisame about the threats that were being, her conclusion was that it was from her stalker ex boyfriend, who's she's been gathering evidence of for doing the same behaviour. She's informed me that she's currently trying to get a restraining order. I've been given permission to show these screenshots.

Congratulations on harassing a victim of stalking and abuse. But if that wasn't vile enough, the night Kisame's mother was taken to the hospital, and they explained they'd be offline because of it, Sasuke, still using Hidan's blog, said this:

This was vile. Fucking vile, and was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I blocked as many of the blogs I could. Like I said, I'm disappointed. Sad, even. Sasuke was one of the first blogs who'd interacted with me, and i thought they were nice. It seemed like I was wrong though. As I mentioned before, this isn't an attack. This is simply to warn others about the kind of people they will be interacting with should they come across the anon group.

OOC UPDATES

Rules have officially been amended! Things to note:

I'm no longer gonna chase (aka follow first) muns that are blog hoppers/archivers, especially if they have issues with commitment (failing to write me a starter/answer asks I've sent them or dropping threads after only two notes).

I'm now putting my foot down and unfollowing blogs who follow me first but make no effort in interacting (whether it be through liking/replying to posts or writing with me)... but I'm not strictly mutuals only anymore, meaning I will happily refollow blogs I've unfollowed again if they actually make an effort in engaging with me.

Basically added a section for Personals, Memes, Threads, and OOC Conduct... not only so my partners would know what to expect from me as a partner, but make my boundaries clear for personal blogs who decide to follow me for whatever reason.

[firstplant]

((this is gonna be in my rules, especially since i do plan on having Knives on here as a side/npc muse, but I DON’T SHIP THE PLANT SIBLINGS!!!! Neither on here NOR on the Multi! i have literally EVERY tag for it blacklisted and will keep it that way, if you’re only seeking out my Tesla here or Vash on the multi for shipping i will block you the instant you suggest it

I’m at that point in my internet life where I don’t care what you write, so long as I don’t see it and you aren’t trying to shove it at me, if i find you don’t use easily accessible tags that can be blacklisted i will want nothing to do with you))

[kizunatallis]

Seriously though, can we stop acting like girl bullies are somehow worse than boy bullies are? Boys who pick on girls are every bit as cruel, manipulative and persistently obsessive with crushing their victims' lives as much as "mean girls" are, if not moreso.

Quick PSA for all of my financially challenged people out there: Employers in the United States legally cannot call a doctor’s office to validate a sick note, unless given explicit, written, permission.

I’ll say it louder for the people in the back! If your employer is demanding that you need an excuse to miss work, and you are on deaths doorstep but cannot afford to go to a physician: fake the note.

Fake the note, because we’re trained to quite literally not confirm nor deny that you were in to see a physician. This is your health information and it’s protected by the HIPPA Act of 1996.

IMPORTANT PSA!!! ⚠️

im like totally sure these kinds of psas have already been made, but just saying it louder for people who don’t know: IF YOU GET A MESSAGE LIKE THIS WHERE SOMEBODY IS OFFERING YOU MONEY FOR SOMETHING RELATED TO A MURAL its a SCAM!!

my silly little naive brain was just happy to get some money to support me and my girlfriend, but i picked up on it before i sent any information since i realized i was being stupid LOL although i haven’t seen this kind of scam before, so i was confused but happy ^^;

BUT essentially red flags to find is a Lot of money, a new account meaning no profile picture or any posts, a “client”, ignoring questions, a check, non personal requests, and anything involving you sending money back. from what i understand, scammers likely will ask to pay through a check, where you’ll probably receive a fake check or some other complex transaction, not safe and direct (like i asked for) and end up with you in legal trouble with a bank and or out of a couple hundered.

given, paypal isn’t a 100% foolproof method either and paypal scams still happen, but its generally safer + i took the liberty of triple reinforcing my security before i continued this conversation

please reblog and please be safe on the internet! stupid scammer get scammed <3

Honestly, "colonizer" is another word that needs to be put away into the "Words that have been thrown around and abused so much that they've lost all meaning" bin along with "groomer", "fascism", "woke" and a few others I'm forgetting.

Gentile leftists, this is a PSA, and I am begging you to listen. Sharing claims that Jews aren’t indigenous to the land of Israel, that Jews don’t come from the Middle East, and/or that the Zionist movement wasn’t created in response to centuries of antisemitism & genocide is fringe revisionist history with a long antisemitic history. These aren’t anti-imperialist or anti-colonial stances. They are just antisemitic conspiracy theories.

And on the flip side, acknowledging the simple fact that Jews are indigenous to the region currently occupied by Israel & Palestine does not imply any opinion about the modern states of Israel & Palestine, their governments, or the conflict in the region. This post is not voicing support for Zionism or the state of Israel. This is literally just historical fact: both Jews and Palestinians are indigenous to the region where modern day Israel & Palestine are.

If you make this about the politics or conflicts of the modern states of Israel or Palestine—if you comment or send me asks to that effect—you will be blocked.

PSA

CW: Anti-blackness, Racism.

I usually don't make posts of this nature, but something had to be addressed since it involves my racial identity as a black women. This involves my experience in the server with one individual.

This is a post to share my experience concerning an individual who displayed direct and indirect racial prejudice towards me in the @bebopcrew server. First and foremost, I must say that the Bebop crew is an amazing server and, although I am particularly shy as it can take me awhile to feel comfortable enough to socialize in groups, the members there made me feel welcomed and supported me, as well as many writers/artists alike.

But one member in particular, @/Drasino, stood out to me that treated me differently than the rest. I thought I could put the situation behind me and let it rest, but due to seeing them on my dash often continuously calls back to mind what occurred.

This happened when I had begun to try to come out of my shell, attempting to socialize and engage in conversations in certain channels. I left a compliment on some insight they shared in a channel, but I never got a response that showed he acknowledged me. I also tried to engage in them again, but he didn't acknowledge me and proceeded to ignore me. Interestingly, he would engage with other people in the server and their stuff, but nope, not me.

Ironically, a day or so later right after, Drasino posted an image where he outwardly mocked the Afrikaan language. That was the first red flag for me. I asked one of the admins about what they posted, what his intention and motives could be about the crude image. The admin got right on it and confronted Drasino about it, to which he acted oblivious and played innocent. But after that incident, the admin updated the rules to emphasize how racist and other toxic content, comments, or memes are not allowed.

Afterward, there wasn't no more images of that sort again. However, he proceeded to deliberately ignore me and my stuff while engaging and initiating conversations with other people. I also tried to involve a few people in a channel where he and other people were talking, which he easily could've engaged with me as well, but instead, he proceeded to switch over to another channel to try initiate a totally other conversation, again, deliberately and willingly trying to exclude me from his presence. There was also a comment a admin told me where Drasino made a joke about monkeys as well.

All of these things began to pile up. Even though he acted oblivious about the picture he posted, you have to remember, Drasino, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. THE WAY YOU TREAT OTHERS IS ENOUGH TO KNOW THE TYPE OF PERSON YOU ARE. I am not stupid; I knew exactly what you were doing, and your actions towards me further proved my case. I do my utmost best to extend kindness towards others, try to make others feel welcomed, and I don't like it when others feel left out. I extended kindness towards and courtesy towards him in the same manner as I try for anyone else. But he didn't for me; the fact I'm the only black person ( plus with the only black oc) in the server who he outwardly and deliberately chose to not give me the same courtesy and respect as he gave other people stuck out like a sore thumb. Plus, that image was all I needed to know because he knew exactly what he was doing and proceeded to downright ignore me.

This type of behavior something I wouldn't expect to experience in this type of community, but here we are. Shinichro Watanabe created a show with a diverse cast of characters; Cowboy Bebop is abundant with diversity of different languages, cultures, ethnicities, and nationalities-it is an element I love about the show. Anyone who is a fan should understand and appreciate the message and vision that Watanabe delivered for us. If Watanabe appreciates and respect others, no matter their race, culture, or language, a fan of his work should share that same openness. With that being said, showing racial prejudice, anti-blackness, xenophobia, or any other type of prejudice towards another person is completely unacceptable here.

I decided to make this post to make others aware of my experience with this individual, and for others who look like me to be wary of their company, so they don't also have to go through the same thing I experienced.

IMPORTANT UPDATE - TWO WEEK BAN.

I really thought about including the person's URL in here, because they sent this off anon, but I'm going to be nice because I also don't want them to get an asston of flak for being the cause of this.

Regardless, this is the third fucking ask about system intricacies. I didn't think the other two posts were that watered down, but clearly, they are, so let me say it louder for the people in the back.

We have not, will not, and will not ever handle asks about systems along the lines of this, or the prior two asks (here and here).

This is not a place to ask us about your system and your system's intricacies. We are not therapists. None of us are any licensed professionals to any degree-- At best, the only certificate any of us has to my knowledge is that I am ServSafe certified, and that's for food handling. This is something that you, and you alone, would find out eventually.

This isn't funny.

It's not cute.

I'm fucking tired of it. We all are.

I tried being nice about it. I tried giving my advice. I tried redirecting people.

This is the final straw and a show that we were serious about the ban.

As of this post, any new asks about systems (fictives/introjects/etc) outside of canon calls will be automatically deleted. For the next two weeks, we will not be handling any requests about y'all. Any asks in the box will remain in the box and be answered as normal.

One ruins it for the many, but until people get their shit together and make it fucking click in their heads, this is the length we're having to go to.

The next time this happens, it will be a total ban. Full stop.

On that note, if you are ever unsure if your ask would fall under the guideline that may cause the ban, you can ALWAYS reach out to me (@drkvrs) or Nepeta (@sinfulauthor) and ask.

Please, for the love of god, just ask. It's so much easier to be gentler one-on-one versus having to do shit like this.

Thank you. This has been a general PSA.

Hello all. Panda here.

Since my recent post of addressing the drama that happened in February, I thought it would be best to do a follow up.

Firstly, I would like to clear a few things up. My intention for my PSA was not to attack or harass anyone involved, but to critique and bring awareness to the situation and explain why it wasn’t okay.

Secondly, despite what has happened, I don’t hold any ill will towards any of the anons. I may not be very happy with what they had to say about me, but it what it is. I learned a long time ago, that unfortunately, you can’t change people’s opinions of you. And that’s okay. Because the opinions of the people you care about are all that matter.

Thirdly, I truly do hope that whoever has been anonymously sending death threats is caught and held accountable for what they have caused. Kisame didn’t deserve it, the anons didn’t deserve it, no one did.

I just want to put the situation behind me, as I’m sure everyone else involved does. I am not asking anyone to choose sides, and I’m not going to judge you for interacting/wanting to interact with anyone. Just know that you are welcome here, and that this is a safe space. All I ask is that the drama is not brought up or for hate to be sent to anyone.

Thank you all, and have a wonderful day/afternoon/evening ❤️

One thing I realized is that maturing is not about being the smartest in the room. It’s pitying those that are. Once their worldview shatters, they have nothing. I’ve seen it happen to other people. It happened to me. The difference is that I crawled out of that pit during one of the hardest years of my life. They stayed in that position with nothing but meaningless achievements. I had to kill the person I was to finally become better. They insisted on keeping the corpse and wondered when it began to rot. I may be a fool, but at least I was able to live.

I think accepting that I am, in fact, foolish and gullible a lot of the time is actually integral to cultivating critical thinking skills and correcting mistakes I've made. The people that see themselves as the smartest person in the room are the people that refuse to see opportunities for improvement within themselves and thus develop a resistance to learning. Like, you can't grow from foolishness if you refuse to acknowledge it.

Welcome to our weekly round-up! We do these every week to provide plot drops, highlight starters posted that week, and share other information about the setting. Anyone is welcome to use these bullet points in starters, plots, anons etc. Also let us know if you want us to include one of your setting-related plots in here for next week by sending us a bullet point!

What’s new in town?:

Something not quite right is in the air as the impact of the mining accident proves to be more far-reaching than anyone anticipated. Check out our ongoing plot of the week for ways to interact!

Darkling Lake was cleared out early after many witnessed a panicked woman who appeared to be turning into an obsidian statue. She tripped and sunk into the water before she could be questioned. This has caused residents to believe the ooze from the cracks can now affect people. While authorities have assured residents the incident was a prank, their lack of concrete evidence has failed to remove the concern.

Late Sunday evening as the sun set, La Sauce spouted out an alarming amount of the strange black ooze it's known for. While the area is currently roped off by law enforcement, since people in some louder areas of town have appeared to randomly have their mouths zipped shut.

Art Walk has a new mural and it is jarring to say the least. Three lone bagels upon a mountain of cream cheese seem to be staring back at people despite the fact they lack eyes. If someone looks back in just the right spot, they may find a new found enthusiasm for bagels and spreading the word of Bagelism. Others are finding their shoes randomly completely submerged in cream cheese throughout the day, but that's probably a coincidence.

Starters:

Alex is both amused and concerned by the traveling Spongebob statue on campus and is looking for answers

Jasper wishes the art students would stop with the meme art but that doesn't mean it's okay to mess with student's work

Cassius is unsurprised that the crabs are decidedly cursed, but he wasn't expecting a crab rave

Being a good citizen, Ren warns the residents of Wicked's Rest to avoid a particularly rude man

Fang advises people stay away from the Claw at Rock Lobstah, but also plugs her cheap crab removal services

Teagan doesn't know who Spongebob is but she is decidedly unsettled his statue is following her

Stinky air got you down? Metzli too. They're sorry in advance if they try to fight you

It is urgent that Nora gets an address. Can you help?

Place your bets, Bridie has Battle of the Bots going on. Which knife equipped roomba will steal the win?

Just Beau sending the internet well wishes in this most normal of ways while sharing masterful artistry

Milo is eagerly awaiting being able to get and play the new Zelda game, so share your gaming experiences

Luis has questions about who named cat things and why it's called a primodorial pouch

PSA to Jo's Neighbor: No one wants to listen to Karma Chameleon 18 times in a row

The ending…

Trust me, I once knew a Scientist 😉.
