You know what's kinda frustrating?
I run an ask blog, and I love love love doing it, but I can't stand making updates. Why? Because no one asks questions! My followers have no deductive reasoning!! They never ask questions! And when they do, the questions are completely irrelevant to the story! Or they're relevant, but they're just a simple "No!" I can't work with that! If a character just died, I don't need a bunch of "oh no" in my askbox!! I need people to interrogate the very suspicious looking person!! I need people to ask the characters questions like "Why aren't you upset that your brother just got murdered in front of you?" An ask blog can't run if there are no questions to respond to!! I have sent myself anons many times just to get the story rolling!! I hate it!! I constantly tell them to be suspicious, to not trust any of the characters, that even the sweetest most child-like character of all could be lying to you! I tell them to check the tags in story related posts to find hints!! I straight up give them things to ask about as the narrator!! I'll say shit like "*character* is acting very suspicious, maybe you should investigate" and still no one says anything!! I have maybe 2 names that regularly appear in my ask box, but I've got 60 god damned followers!!
I get that undertale ain't that hot anymore but honestly!! I'm tryna write a mystery! I have a full story planned out!! I've got everything ready except the individual updates!! I've got details fleshed out for what all will happen after the story is done!! But no one asks anything!! I'm done!! I tried so hard to make this fun, but it's not anymore!! It's too frustrating!! I might end up editing my notes into a fic, posting that, then never updating the blog again! No one would care! My biggest problem is that everything I have for this blog is DEPENDENT on what asks I get! I would actually have to write the fic in 2nd person for it to make even a lick of sense! Imagine reading fuckin "You asked gaster if you can see what he's looking at. He looks up at you with uncharacteristic annoyance on his features and snaps a 'N-no!' At you, immediately dissipating the window he was looking through." I know I wouldn't! Not if I had the option to have the characters really react to what im saying rather than what the author tells me I said!
My followers are gonna lose their chance to play along, and only the few that are following both this one, and forgottendoll will know about it.
I'm sorry, but I hate this. It's extremely likely that I'll never update the blog with a drawn update again, and there's a chance I'll never explain, save for linking back to this rant.
There's a chance that I won't ever even make the fic out of my notes, but I feel I owe my followers at least to know what was going to happen.
I want questions! I really do!! But I doubt that I'll get more than one word bits in my inbox, and I can't stand the lack of interaction!
I give up! I'm sorry!
This is also a rant and there is chance that I will completely disregard everything in this post in the morning as it is rly late and im tired!!! Thank God for autocorrect! That chance is small!!! 🙃🙃🙃
