Rules and About

Respect other members of this server.

Don't start fights or drama. If you have issues with anyone, deal with them privately. Be kind and friendly to other people and respect their opinions and headcanons even if they differ greatly from yours.

Stay in topic

This community is for the fans of Battle Royale. Reblog and post content about Battle Royale the novel, its adaptations and spin offs. The term Battle Royale was given to a popular gaming genre with concept inspired by the novel, but has nothing to do with this server.

Avoid talking about real life politics.

Politics have a tendency to divide people and rouse emotions and tension. Heavy world events and issues, slandering or discussion of politics of opposing parties and anything that negatively targets another person or a group is forbidden. However, politics related to the Battle Royale universe, general life conditions or history is fine, within reasonable bounds. Ask an admin if unsure.

Don't spam.

No incoherent spamming.

Do not advertise your sites or communities or anything else unless given permission to.

This includes messaging community members to advertise other communities, sites or products. Please, contact the admin or a moderator if you catch someone doing this. Note! Sharing links to your ⁠fanfics and ⁠fanart are an exception.

Do not repost fanart or gifs without credit or/and permission

Gifs and edits you have to reblog, do not repost. Fanart, if outside of tumblr, must be properly credited, preferably with a link to their profile or work. I do not look kindly to "Credit to whoever made this" or "Found this, I didn't make it". If you want to share but don't know the artist, you can ask other members help you find the source.

If you have any issues, questions, concerns, suggestions or feedback, feel free to contact me.

Have you read...

Koushun Takami's notorious high-octane thriller is based on an irresistible premise: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, they are provided arms and forced to kill one another until only one survivor is left standing. Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan - where it then proceeded to become a runaway bestseller - Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world. Made into a controversial hit movie of the same name, Battle Royale is already a contemporary Japanese pulp classic, now available for the first time in the English language.

Rage (Stephen King) "A controversial psychological thriller novel about a disturbed high-school student with authority problems who one day kills one of his teachers and takes the rest of his class hostage. Over the course of one long, tense and unbearable hot afternoon, this student, named Charlie Decker, explains what led him to this drastic sequence of events, while at the same time deconstructing the personalities of his classmates, forcing each one to justify his or her existence.

The novel has been associated with actual high school shooting incidents in the 1980s and 1990s. In response, the author allowed the novel to fall out of print (though it can still be found and read), and has even explicitly requested that no future printings are made.

A rare, disturbing book allegedly linked to actual horrible events in real life, and whose own author wants nothing to do with? What's more Leitner than that?"

Battle Royale (Koushun Takami) "The story tells of junior high school students who are forced to fight each other to the death in a program run by a fictional, fascist, totalitarian Japanese government known as the Republic of Greater East Asia."

The community is where people can be part of something with a common interest or a hobby and find people to talk about it with. You can post and reblog to a community, react and comment to posts, make polls, in a way it's a blog you share with other people. Note that when you make a new post to a community, it shows up only in that community.

Communities are now free-to-join! Thus I am making a new post to advertise — just click "Join Community" and you're in.

Been getting back into horror recently and wow I missed the awful low budget gore films. They have so much heart and passion put into them, even if some are bad they are still just so much fun to watch.

My Month in Books: November and December 2023

Why We Get the Wrong Politicians by Isabel Hardman I spend a lot of my time at work thinking about the UK’s political system (and to be honest way too much of my free time as well) so I was excited to get a slightly more outside perspective on the workings of Westminster. While the book is probably a little bit basic for hardcore politics nerds (though I was thrilled to see a whole section…
