Thank you for 100 questions! ♫
((H-Hello. ;; So ah.. I’m back from my sort-of-hiatus hiatus.. I was feeling immensely stressed even thinking about signing onto Haruka.. a mix of some hate and icon issues (which are still ongoing, sadly) sort of warded me away.. and I was busy studying. ;; I took my AP exams and now my classes are few and easy so I can return to things here.. ;u;
I’ll answer a question or two later today.. with the ones I need to complete, I’ll hit 100 questions answered.. and so in turn.. some other things will be changing around here. uvu A fair warning.))
For my senpai who is really stressed as of late. I hope that HaruHaru feels better and that her exams go by smoothly. I know that my Haru-chan can do it!
((Mun’s been sick, so no answers for questions, I’m afraid. =A=;; Once I recover I’ll get back to work.. because sneezing all over a tablet is gross. For now though I’ll be fine-tuning some things here and there on the blog itself.. and lingering if any of my lovely utapri rpers wish to chat a bit. /rolls))

I contacted her about the matter, as I previously stated. She responded the first time to me, telling me they would be deleted and not used again, but the usage continued. And so I addressed her two more times. Both of which left me with no response.
[ … ]
I would have liked if she would have written me herself. I would like to hear her own words on this. I did not address her with hostility, nor would I have done that now. Yes I may have been a bit sharp since I requested such two times prior, but I did not treat her poorly. Not like she claimed.
I didn’t address this completely, as it had very little to do with the message and the sender itself (and I try not to shoot the messenger).. but.. just briefly, I’d like to talk about what I meant here..
This is what I saw written about me:
I.. don’t know why this was said. How I interpret it, at least, is that I was really horrible to her. This is what I wrote the other day. It’s not exact; I swapped a couple words to have it fit in the character limit, but just read:
((Mm, the mun would appreciate it indeed.. I’ve overlayed the icons in question, (the bottom most ones in posts 48251274264 and 48259824230 for reference, and they are exactly the same. They are my icons, and I have no doubt about that. Putting a disclaimer isn’t fitting for me- my wishes are that my icons are NOT used by others. I know I have asked you before, but please stop using them. I don’t wish to continue hassling you about them, but as it stands, what I ask was not fulfilled.))
I don’t think I rudely addressed her. I said please. I said I don’t want to hassle her. I don’t think I was out of line for saying anything.. As I mentioned, sure it may be a bit harsh, but when you request two times prior, the third is bound to show some irritation. Anyways, I do feel the need to defend my name here, simply because I find it unfair to have that as a reputation as a result what I (and possibly others) infer from her statement.
Anonymous whispered:
Hello, my name is Raven. I'm a friend of the person who made askharuka-chan and I heard about the stolen icons. Please don't get mad at her for "stealing icons" cause she didn't. I am one of the three friends who made her icons. I made her icons by getting pics from the site called zerochan. She erased all icons that the other two gave her. If anyone is to be blamed, it's me. I am sorry for the inconvenience and I didn't steal from you. Don't blame Haruka please. She's gonna erase it soon.
((Hello. I’ll admit, I am very wary about having an Anon discuss this with me. I prefer to keep matters private.. I don’t like having an audience privy to it all. Resolving matters.. should be private, right? Especially if it is on a personal level such as this. ;; That was how I tried to deal with it.. I never called her out in my posts here. but I guess this is besides the point.
Nonetheless, I shall give you the benefit of the doubt and publish this. I apologize for a late reply. I have been going through some things.
If you’d rather not use the word “stolen” it can be replaced with “taken without my knowledge and/or permission.” Perhaps it was not she herself who took them. Perhaps it was a friend. One of the key things is that they are being used when I did not give such permission when I requested them not to be used.. She was the one using them, and so that is why I went to talk to her about it.
Nonetheless, though, someone didn’t make her the icons that were identical to mine. I understand similarities. I understand that two people may choose the same image to crop and make into an icon. But when it is pixel for pixel, and the same size, it is very, very difficult to call that a coincidence. Not all that she used, but some were icons that I made myself. Regardless of how she got them, she used them, and that was what I had a beef with.
I contacted her about the matter, as I previously stated. She responded the first time to me, telling me they would be deleted and not used again, but the usage continued. And so I addressed her two more times. Both of which left me with no response.
I have been keeping an eye on things, and as of my writing this right before publishing it, it seems as though she has gotten new icons of her own, and I am happy about that. It gives her something fun to use, and it makes me content, as it also implies that she will stop using the icons I took the time to crop myself.
I would have liked if she would have written me herself. I would like to hear her own words on this. I did not address her with hostility, nor would I have done that now. Yes I may have been a bit sharp since I requested such two times prior, but I did not treat her poorly. Not like she claimed.
Thank you for writing, and I hope that this issue has reached a final conclusion. If it has not, yes, you can expect me to show my face again, but as I said to her before.. I do not wish to hassle her about it further. I only wanted my request and wishes to be respected.))
((Mun has asked before and mun will ask again…
Please do not use my icons.
I have asked the user (again) that an Anon alerted me about this morning, so thank you for making me aware of it, and I am waiting for the same problem to be worked out again.. or rather, because it was never truly resolved in the first place. u.u I’m sorry to be complaining about this again, my followers, but these are my wishes, and I, for once, would like to be respected.))
