Important Message:

Hey everyone! 

I keep seeing this happening to ask bloggers, and I want to address it:

READING THE FAQ. 

Yes, yes, you’ve probably heard this all before, but I’m going to reiterate it. 

Read. 

The. 

FAQ. 

If a blog has an FAQ, it’s for a reason. They’ve been getting the same questions over and over again, to the point of annoyance. Even if you weren’t aware of the issue, you should always read a blog’s FAQ before asking a question! What if your question has already been asked? You’ve got your answer! 

Ask bloggers have a lot of questions to answer, and we don’t like it when we have to delete questions because we’ve already been asked them! It makes us feel bad when we have to delete any questions of any kind, and you certainly don’t want yours deleted!

So, please, read a blog’s FAQ if they have one! It’s super simple! 

It will make your mun’s happy and want to keep creating because they know you’re listening to them and keeping their feelings in mind!

(( And while we’re talking about this 

READ 

THE 

RULES.

I have no more patience for any excuse over this now because I’ve been disregarded so many times whenever I keep telling everyone to read the rules on this blog.

It is there for a reason. It tells you what is okay and what is not okay when it comes to the blog, it is there for the mun’s comfort and you guys need to remember that above all else, above your entertainment, the mun’s comfort and well being comes first.

It literally does not take that long to read a blog’s rules. Unsure if your ask is okay to send? Read the rules. If, for some reason, you can’t read the rules, then you send an ask to confirm with the mun or you wait until you can read the rules. 

The mun behind the blog shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable on their blog because you’re too lazy to take the time to read their rules. ))

I guess i'll make an official Hiatus post

So i havent really felt motivated by this blog for a while. Asks were piling up and it stressed me out, i kept recieving asks about where he got his shirts even after i have stated in the FAQ, the description, and in a few posts about how i no longer wanted those asks because they were pointless to answer, and i also kept recieving ship asks even after i asked several times for them to stop. I dont want you guys to think im leaving in a mad huff, but honestly it was getting tiresome and frustrating, its hard to run an ask blog when the followers dont seem to listen/cooperate. Im stating an offical hiatus from this blog, i have no idea when i will be back. Im sorry to any new followers that were expecting new content. Im sure i will be peeking in every once and a while but i spend my time on my main and art blogs @miss-ostrich and @miss-ostrich-art so please feel free to come art there and my other posts. Again i apologize. Stay Awesome! ~Mun Ashi

Omg omg I don't ship anything either I'm so excited HELLO fellow nonshipper! I know the feel, it gets VERY irritating because people constantly ask me what I ship and when I tell them that I don't they barely even acknowledge it and go on telling me all these ship headcanons and I really don't care. You are the first I know of other than myself! Everyone thinks I'm weird for it.

I usually get a lot of 'really?? You dont ship anything??? Wow your so lucky! You are saved from the pain' and blah blah blah. Idk i just dont have that same desire to ship characters. People seem to think its strange. I mean like i usually have a prefered partner for a charactrr, like if someone asked me 'dude i cant decided between there ships for the same character' there would be one i would prefer over the other. But its not like i go out of my way to draw fan art or make headcanons or fight people about how canon the ship is ))

[ask-prussian-blog]

I can tell you're so frustrated. It's sad that people just don't care and continue to ask for shipping. Go on hiatus if you need to, bb.

I know, its very irritating. I think a lot of people just seem to think of ask blogs as there way to puppet characters into whatever they want instead of the mun wanting to represent the character correctly or tell the story of the au they have. But i should know better than to expect never to get a ship question despite it being in the FAQ AND in the description. People just dont care. I shouldnt expect as much from this fandom, thats my mistake.Yeah i was basically on an unannounced hiatus but i suppose i should make it official))

[ask-prussian-blog]

To any new followers, I apologize for inactivity. I spend most of my time on my main/art blogs @miss-ostrich and @miss-ostrich-art. I post more over there if you would like to come join the ostrich nest! ))

[ask-prussian-blog]

Since you keep getting ship asks I wanted to send one. But with ships. Make a warship. The best ship there can be.

I dont want any kind of ships. I would just rather stay on land.))

[ask-prussian-blog]

You know what would be cool. Shipping yourself. As in building a ship and going off on it. You are the king of ships. Destroy all the other ships.

Excuse me???))

[ask-prussian-blog]

U still alive bby?

Nope. Not really as interested in this blog as I used to be, as im sure you can tell))

[ask-prussian-blog]

DO YOU SHIP PRUCAN?

I came back to check on things. See if i got any new asks. And i did. One that i have answered times before. I do not ship anything. I do not wish to ship on this blog. Please stop with the shipping questions))

[ask-prussian-blog]

[ask-prussian-blog]

ask-liechtenchen replied to your post:Please people, stop bothering Ashi about ships....

Gosh, I really feel your pain. I run a very new shipfree blog so I haven’t had this problem yet, but my last no-ship blog was inundated with ship requests. But it’s refreshing to see a ship-free blog, especially for Prussia (and with art like yours)!

When I started this blog i knew i wasn’t going to do any shipping on it. I did some shipping on my old ask blog and it just got really messy and i didn’t find it as fun as I wanted. And with my not liking shipping combined with Prussia’s canon ‘not actually a sex god like everyone wants to believe he is’ it was just easier not to mess with it. And honestly I don’t want to have a blog just dedicated to shipping and what the next relationship drama from anons will be. Just a blog about Prussia the amazing and awesome dorkasaurus :D ))

[ask-prussian-blog]

i come back and instead of answering asks i just spam you guys with FAQ irritation lol ))

[ask-prussian-blog]

it sucks that ask blogs get a lot of problems dealing with this— i mean, most of the people asking those questions probably don't mean any harm, but it's still impolite af? jeez, people are going to have to code blogs to just redirect people to the faq by this point

i think a lot of the problem is if people send asks from mobile you don’t see the FAQ because it doesn’t show the links(is there a way to add links into your mobile description??) and so they just send these asks left and right with no idea. BUt then there are people that send them from a computer where they can see the link to the FAQ and just ignore it and those are the people that irritate me. ))

[ask-prussian-blog]

tbh ppl need to read the faq smh

I constantly see other blogs making posts about how they keep getting asks that go against the rules or are answered in the FAQ and I know how tiresome it is to get ask after ask that are basically useless to the mun because they are in the FAQ or against the rules. Heck @ask-luciano has gone on a hiatus because they got asks that made them very uncomfortable and were blatantly stated in the rules. It’s already hard enough being a mun and running a blog, it doesn’t make it any easier when your inbox is filled with questions that make you uncomfortable or questions that are too simple to even answer. ))
