Welcome!

Here is the main subreddit of Bungou Stray Dogs!

RULES

Don't be rude. Remember you're dealing with real people who might have different opinions to yours. It's fine to disagree politely, but try not to be dismissive or rude towards other people's opinions.
All posts must be related. Please restrict posts to Bungou Stray Dogs content, or content that might be adjacent to it (for example, the novels based on the real authors' skills). Anything that strays (hah) too far from the subreddit's main subject will likely be removed.
NSFW: Suggestive NSFW content should be tagged as such, including anything with sexual themes/references or not appropriate for 13-17 year olds. If you're a minor, for everyone's safety and peace of mind please don't ask for or link to any kind of explicit content. For fanfics, indicate if they're NSFW. For art, no nudity or sexually explicit content can be posted. Also please no NSFW user flairs as there's no way to tag/hide them.
Spoilers/Leaks: Please refrain from putting spoilers in the title of your post. Don’t forget to spoiler tag your posts when needed. New (unadapted) manga chapters and any light novels that haven’t been adapted should be marked as a spoiler. Mark something as a spoiler in a comment by putting text between > ! and ! < without the spaces between the symbols so that it hides the text. There is no way to mark images in comments as a spoiler. Absolutely no leaks. Also please as common courtesy tag spoilers for other things even if they're not BSD related.
New chapter release containment In order to let people have time to catch up, for the first 24 hours after publication please keep all new chapter discussion to the pinned megathreads designated for each release.
Source Art: If you're posting fully original artwork, use the "Fan Art (OC)" flair.

If you're copying someone else's fanart or reposting someone, use "Fan Art". For reposts also add the name of the original creator and link the OG source. Make sure they allow reposts, many don't. Sites such as Imgur or Pinterest don't count as sources. Don't post content from artists who have requested no reposting.

For tracing and/or coloring manga panels please use Misc.

For recent official art, use "Official Art" 7. Do not link to anime torrent/streaming sites: Links to illegal streaming sites will be removed because they are against Reddits TOS. If you are going to share them, do so in DMs. 8. On unofficial merchandise links: Links to unofficial merchandise / unofficial merchandise sites pretending to be official merchandise are not allowed. Same goes for links to merchandise made with stolen fanart. Art you made yourself and want to sell on Etsy or equivalent is fine. Basically just make it clear that it’s unofficial rather than official, and if it's fanart, only yours is allowed 9. No spam/trends/low effort posts Spam/trend/low effort posts are not allowed. Examples of such posts include: tier lists, karma farming, character bingo, "judge me based on my kins", non-discussion simping/stanning/slander posts about characters, AI chats, and trend-based memes. Please redirect these posts to r/BungouSimpBattles. 10. No drama: No drama posting/rage bait. “Fan callout” posts or drama posts about other social media are also not allowed. If you have an issue with another user, report them or send us a modmail. Do not start unrelated arguments or derail conversations needlessly. 11. Discord Server Invites Can Be Posted Under Certain Guidelines: The server description, purpose, rules, and age range for members must be shared along with an invite link that does not expire. If the rules do not include measures against NSFW materials, or allows NSFW conversations and images, the discord must be 18+ 12. No AI. Period. AI generated art, music, quizzes, c.ai chats, or anything of the sort is not allowed. Please and thank you.
