rate_review Reviews

Wonderful, as always. :)

(Sorry I never leave long reviews. It's not that I don't enjoy the chapters; I just feel like everything I say comes out dumb. I spend five or ten minutes debating what to write, then end up erasing everything and starting over. Multiple times. lol. Anyways, please don't take my lack of length for a lack of enjoyment.)

Thanks for the update!

Good to see Aizen finally leaving the city, though I'm not sure it's going to mean a lot at this point - if you're only half way through the story I don't see him being taken down by Starrk's group and the swarm any time soon. Time will tell, keep up the great work!

Can't edit to add to the review I left a few minutes ago, so here's a new one. lol

Read your A/N about reviews for The Real King over at the other site. Seems to me there's a good chance that both "The Fox Familiar" and "The Shadow Wolves" are the same person. IMO, they're both egotistical, homophobic SOB's with a very clear hatred of homosexuality in any way, shape or form. They both admit to leaving flame reviews. In fact, they seem quite proud of it, don't you think? The only difference between them is that "The Fox Familiar" is much more long-winded to the point of making me want to gouge my eyes out - I mean, did you look at their long-ass profile page? What a pathetic rant and desperate need for attention. I didn't bother reading much of it.

It's clear that anyone who disagrees with their hatred of (as they so eloquently put it: 'fags') and yaoi is going to be targeted by them. Hell, I'm surprised the long-winded one didn't start quoting Bible verses. looooool

I'll just end this by saying that I think this hateful troll needs to either come out of the closet themselves, or deal with their mommy issues. Maybe even try to find something actually productive to do, or learn to stop hating everything and everyone. It's the impression I get from them, anyway. Poor saps. Just laugh 'em off and keep writing, obviously. ^^

Interesting chapter. Honestly I'm just happy to see Byakuya away from Yammy. =/

Also, I read those reviews on FF that you mentioned and what I don't get is why they even bother writing them. Sure there are a lot of fics I don't like but I don't go around wasting my time by writing nasty reviews. I don't like Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga but you don't see me going around YouTube flaming their videos. I just do give a shit, it's as simple as that.

I guess those people feel they are on this holy mission of purging the world of us sinners. Yeah right... I'll just go now and work on my Durarara!! Yaoi fics just cause I love writing stuff and I don't give a shit what people think.

As long as people love your stories don't let the trolls get to you, keep on writing.

I am so excited to read this story. I have been reading and following your stories for some time now. And I love it all. I am so glad to see the plan starting to go in to motion. I almost wish that Yammy had come along so that some how they could of killed him off during the battle at the swarms outpost. I almost want to see him gone as much as Aizan,
And here right now has warmed up at night. For the past two weeks it was getting to -16F and it was causing so many problems. We get our water from a gravity fed system and with the weather this cold the streams froze up and we had to remove all the lines and wait two weeks to put it back together. Nothing like carrying water to make you appreciate when you have it running in the house

Well.....this chapter certainly did not make my already near non-existent love for the Arrancar any better.

I pity all those who have to put up with being claimed and the sheer humiliation that comes with being considered a pet, but Byakuya's situation takes the cake. A majority of the other claimed are more or less everyday average ranked shinigami or civilians and don't hold much prominence in the SS, but he is the head of one of the great clans and due to being claimed by Yammy and made a slave, his prestige has taken a massive nosedive and those who once respected and perhaps were in awe of him or feared him now view him as some sort of plaything to a hollow or simply pity him. Ajuga and Rukia are the only things he has left and now both of them are at the moment lost to him. And it still pisses me off that most of the other hollows don't really see his treatment as "wrong" but more or less idiotic since they are at war and need all the able bodied fighters they can get. Even the ones that view his abuse as disgusting don't care enough to really intervene. Even with aizen's law about claims, Starrk has proven that he can negotiate with the man and if he brings up that Yammy is making Byakuya an ineffective soldier and he should be placed under starrks charge, Aizen may very well do it to keep his top soldier in a good mood and too punish Yammy. But unless the situation directly affects their "packs" they won't really raise a tizzy beyond disapproving glares. This actually makes me curious as to how the other claimed shinigami are viewed by their non claimed comrades and family.

Despite knowing what kind of monster Aizen is, I am continually surprised that he let's Yammy get away with so much and punishes others when they how the same disrespect. If it wasn't for Yammy's destructive power I like to think Aizen would have done away with the brute decades ago. And again, say what you will, he is a horrible piece of trash but he is no fool and it was wise to place Ukitake and Nanao in charge of things while he was away. If the man actually had a soul he would be a truly effective leader. Will be interesting to see how they manage to keep the numeros in line and whether or not Yammy will prove to be a problem and since Byakuya is not around whether or not he will turn his attention to another poor soul. And after the meeting for a minute their I though Aizens form of a more "permanent" punishment would have been castration for poor old renji.............oh come on, you could totally see him doing that so get that look off of your face lol. And I can't decide if it's cute or depressing how Renji can talk about his loss to the kids father so easily and I have to remind myself that the children don't know the full story to the winter war.

I see the sense in Yuro not wanting to pick a fight with Aizens forces upon their return but wouldn't it be wiser to now that he and most of his strongest fighters are away from the city to do what she excels at and get some info on the remaining forces and meet up with Ukitake and nanao and perhaps find a way to "thin the herd" of arrancar while the overlord his his generals are away? She and the escapees wouldn't even have to stay, they could just arrive, take out the remaining weaker numeros, dog pile on Yammy and end his ass and get any of the shinigami forces who want to leave to safety along with the remaining captains and LT's and get the hell out of dodge before Aizen returns. Gorilla warfare and without aizen and his Espeda there to slow them down they can cause a huge dent in Aizens regime and free the claimed shinigami still within the city AND get the pregnant individuals out of harms way. That way after aizen returns. there will be no one caught in the crossfire should Karin put her plan into motion as the city would have been liberated and those who wanted to go set free and leaving Aizen with very few fighters/meet shield at his beck and call. True Aizen will be pissed to all hell but the more moral Espada won't let him hurt their pets/"mates".

Yikes did not mean for that last paragraph to drag on like that lol. Most of it was just wishful thinking anyway.

so I went by fanfiction.net like you suggested and holy hell that reviewer is a prick, don't let haters get ya down. that asshole has only written 2 stories and from I gleamed they sucked to high heaven. I tend to leave passionate reviews at times but I hope I have never insulted you like that colossal douche has.

-waits patiently for the next chapter-

Frigid, had to drive to campus today in the middle of a snowstorm, not fun, now that the question is answered my my, I did not expect Aizen to personally be leaving to hunt the swarm, this has excellent opportunity to strike him down written all over it...Hopefully with Yammy dying at the same time, as much of an S.O.B as Barragan is, he's definitely below those two on the kill list...though not by much given what he did to Soi Fon, and nice move by Karin leaving Starrk in charge of punishing Szayl.

Love the chapters. Wonder if Yoroichi will find out what's going on before anyone notices her. I'm hoping she figures out how to get ahead of the attack march so she can catch up with Karin and company. It would be great if she could meet with them and the swarm reps to organize the overthrow of Aizen.

Here we are colder than normal but much warmer than most of the country ... In the low 40s tonight.

Hi.

Have to tell you that, in my opinion, each chapter is getting better and better. I am loving your characterization of Starke; your growing humanity of Ulquirra; the developing love between Toshiro and Haribel and certainly, not to be excluded, the continuing love between Karen and Grimmjow. This is a love story, a mystery and a story about survival and how to o over come.
I can't wait till WEDNESDAY mornings to read the next chapter.

Thank you to you and Blackfoxx for continuing to share this story.

Great chapter as always. It's not as much freezing here as snow... much more than we've had in the past 2 winters and now here comes the ice. I'm right outside Philadelphia and it seems we're stuck in a storm trough. I'd much rather deal with snow than ice though. Stay warm.
