🌸 Yo!! I completely understand that the energy you have to put into this isn't equal to the amount of energy you have! I'm just glad to see that you're still doing okay and creating art! You're one of the blogs that inspired me to make a new account dedicated to sending flowery asks to my fav blogs. I love your work and I'll keep supporting it on main. You do you, honey. We love you and your contributions to the fandom so much, even if you'll be sharing less. We get it. Stay beautiful, okay? 🌸

❤️❤️❤️ 

((It’s so sweet that you’re doing that anon, please be sure to keep it up! ;w; 

Thank you so so much for understanding, and thank you for this lovely message too! It made my day 💖))

((I’ve gotten a couple new asks here, and while I absolutely appreciate it I feel like I owe you all an explanation as to why I’m barely active on my ask blogs nowadays.

In combination with an insanely busy workload from my classes and a need to find work and join more extracurriculars, I’ve also noticed that my interest in these blogs (and the fandom in general) is dwindling. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved running them all in the time I did, but somewhere along the line it started to feel like a chore to update, and it wasn’t fun anymore. I realized then that my energy would be better spent elsewhere, and while I probably won’t delete any of my blogs I definitely won’t be updating as much as I used to in the past.

Maybe I’ll answer some of the new asks I’ve gotten when I’ve got a moment, bc I feel like I owe that much to everyone who’s supported me for so long. 

Again, I’m really sorry for disappearing without explanation, and I’m extremely thankful to all my followers and friends who made my askblog experience an enjoyable one. I can’t begin to thank you enough for all the joy I’ve gotten running these blogs for the short time I did. 

If you still wanna hear from me, you’re more likely to catch me at my personal ( @smartasticalart), and if you’d like to see my non-askblog related art, consider checking out my art blog ( @artsbysmarty).

It’s been fun ~❤️))

Before this, I never actually thought of Germany and France as a couple, but I must say...you have made me fall very much in love with them. And for that I thank you. I always sort of headcanoned Germany to be a very sweet significant other. So I am pleased to see that it looks like you do as well. Keep up the good work. Much love.

((Aww that’s so sweet of you to say! I’m glad my lil askblog got you into the ship! ^^

And tbh, I tried to write Lud as the kind of significant other I always wanted, and I figured he’d def be someone who’s very sweet (if not low key, compared to Francis’ over-the-top-ness.))

[ask-gerfra]

Beach Luddy is so big and muscular-- More so than in the original series but it feels so much more accurate. I love and support Ludwig and his muscles. I really like how you draw him.

((:0 thank you so much! 

Admittedly I’m not used to drawing dudes (especially big beefy dudes like Lud and it’d kinda show in some of the earlier asks) so it means a lot to hear this!))

[askfrancey]

Ask box is now open! Ask anything you’d like ❤

[ask-gerfra]

Wait, so no obligatory beach episode?? Or is Luddy afraid to get a sunburn? But you have such a devoted French boyfriend to rub your back

((In general Germany’s got a colder climate compared to France, so Lud burns really really easily.))

[ask-gerfra]

Holy Rome: dies

France: This is so sad alexa play Marukaite Chikyuu

[ask-gerfra]

How is the fifa world cup working for you guys so far huh?

L: As long as we don’t have to play against each other, we’ll enjoy it.

[ggoddammitt]

you know what would make my day for the last day of rare pair week, anyone with Germany I just love him so much.

i have a soft spot for gerfra because of this incredibly adorable askblog that i scrolled from start to finish!! x)

[ask-gerfra]

Hi ! I was wondering, is there gonna be a gerfra week this year ? I saw a post about it a few months ago but never since. I hope I didn't miss it !

((Ah hello!And I was thinking about it after I was done with finals, and eventually decided against holding one this year. I’m gonna get fairly busy this summer once I start on my job (I got accepted yesterday!), and with commissions and another askblog event I’d barely have time to manage it properly like I did last year. ;w; I’m really sorry if anyone was looking forward to it.That being said, if anyone still wants to hold their own ger/fra week, please feel free! I’d love to help out and boost if you decide to do so!))

[ask-gerfra]

so we know how prussia reacted to you two dating but how did francis's siblings react?

F: Seychelles didn’t know who I was talking about at first. Monaco was amused, given our history she didn’t think I’d even be friends with Ludwig. And Matthew was… admittedly, very surprised at first. Regardless, all three have been very supportive— though Monaco does like to tease me from time to time.

[ask-gerfra]

I'm tempted to ask about Mun's ships though I know that it might be opening a can of worms if I do...

((Yeah I won’t talk about em here. I think I did a while back but it was when I had way less of an audience

Though I’d love to talk about ships, so if you hit up my personal @smartasticalart with ship asks I’d be happy to discuss em there!))

[ask-gerfra]

Is that America and Australia in the background...?

((It’s whoever you want it to be ;) ))

[ask-gerfra]

🌸 Okay, Francis, what's your ideal vacation? 🌸

F: Obviously, it’s traveling somewhere in France; staying at home hardly counts as a vacation! I don’t care if it’s in the woods or on a beach or in a big city, as long as we’re out of the house!

[ask-gerfra]

Summer is coming up! Any vacation planned soon?

L: I think staying at home and relaxing sounds lovely—

F: !!!!!!?!??!??
