Blue Exorcist new art by Kato of Rin, Shiemi, Yukio and Izumo to celebrate the announcement of the continuation of anime adaption/season 3!  -source from Kato’s twitter   ( ★ )  

first I wanna say is just... what I do with my scans and when/how I post them and share them is my choice and just sorry I wasn't asking for advice on that at all! I know this had to come about because of my venting post on my RinShi twitter about my sadness at seeing people disrespect my rules from my discord server and my scans being reposted/posted regardless of agreeing to my rules and the main thing I requested to get access to them: which was simple! just no posting them publicly unless I have already! I think that is a reasonable request considering all the time, money and effort I have put into scanning official art from/for Blue Exorcist! I do this because I love the art and this series so much and wanted to just do something nice for myself and others! 😭 I think it's a fair request after all that time I put into trying to do the best quality scans I can, that the one thing I'd like is to be the FIRST PERSON to post those scans of mine? genuinely it's as simple as this and respecting others and I don't get why some can't respect that especially since like... I've been working on a server to finally share my scans and really trying my best to help my friend Chase ( @hootiee ) with archiving as much media and official art from Blue Exorcist as possible! I want so badly to help with keeping things preserved and to share with other fans my efforts with my scans! but it's hurtful that me allowing access sooner in my server led to my trust being broken! and I'm sorry but telling me I should "post them on such and such" websites first so they don't get reposted just??? misses the whole point and nuance of the issue to begin with! like I'm not sure what I'm expected to say? I shouldn't have to post things at another person's pace because they broke my trust and stole my scans to repost and give me zero credit for scanning them along with ignoring my one request: I just wanna post them first??? so I'm sorry but that doesn't help me at all and just makes this issue all the harder and makes me feel more hurt by things, I wanna create a decent archive and make it easy to find my scans in their full/best quality and when someone reposts and doesn't say who scanned it/where they found the scan that adds to them never getting a chance to see the image in it's best quality or more art they may have never seen? all this to say, please just... if I allow access to my scans just respect my wishes and how I go about planning to share them! I'm doing my best to post them at my own pace but stuff like this discourages me to even try! also this is an important note: one of my older sisters passed away back in June 2023 and I've been struggling a lot with that and getting stress from things like this while I'm still recovering and dealing with lifechanging grief really sucks! and that's the type of thing that has contributed to me taking so long getting scans shared and it hurts that the one place I was sharing them my trust got broken (the people that did it I don't think are in my server anymore) so yeah I'd really like this taken in mind in the future? sorry that got long but I wanted to get this all addressed and why this affected me so much! please understand I will share my scans eventually but it should be on my own time and what I can handle! and that's for me to choose and should stay that way and not be forced to change that because others decided respecting my rules wasn't something they wanted to do by the way! these are my scans rules in my RinShi server for reference:
