announcement
hi everyone! I know I havenβt been posting for a long time, but here I am! Again. I think itβs about time I make an important announcement about this blog.
tl;dr: this blog is being put on permanent hiatus until further notice.
hereβs why:
Reason 1: all of the other badly drawn blogs I know of are dead, or at least on hiatus.
I donβt know if youβve noticed, but something Iβve realised over the past few months is that I havenβt heard of other badly drawn blogs for a long time. From this I can assume that theyβve all either fallen out of hetalia, or theyβve just given up on the blogs themselves. Either way, itβs pretty safe to say that the AU is dead.
Reason 2: APH Macau is not a popular character. This means that my content is not being noticed as much in the fandom.
This may sound a little selfish, but the whole point of making this blog was to give content to the fandom. This doesnβt mean I donβt appreciate the attention I already get, but I feel like a lot of other content creators feel the same thing. Which moves on to my next point.
Reason 3: Content is not being circulated a lot.
I know a lot of other people have made plenty of good posts about this, but sometimes the like to reblog ration is just.. really bad? I know that people may not want to clog up otherβs dashboards with posts, but only giving a like is just like saying βnice job, hereβs a stickerβ. It doesnβt do much, especially for a fandom like hetalia where there is pretty much only fan content to be seen. I know there will be people who will see this post and just like it. And thatβs perfectly acceptable! Just please keep this in mind.
Reason 4: Lack of motivation.
Iβm sorry to say this but another thing Iβve noticed with hetalia blogs, in particular askblogs, donβt get a lot of asks. I know that there are those wonderful people who do, but is it really that hard to go to the ask box and type out a question? Without asks, the blog canβt update, as is the case with mine and plenty of other blogs out there.
Reason 5: Iβve fallen out of hetalia.
This one is probably the most relevant reason. It wasnβt anything related to fandom drama or anything like that, I just found other things that made me feel happy. Itβs okay to move on to new things.
To end things simply, Iβm very happy to have made this blog.
It helped me as an artist, and it showed me how this site works. Hetalia is an amazing series, and Iβm sure one day it will resurface, whether that be with fan content, or if Himaruya finally comes back with new chapters. Either way, thank you all, and I wish you good luck on the long road ahead! :)
