#//I suppose I'm easily bothered by tumblr's quirks then ^^'

are you viewing the asks in your askbox before you view them in email? tumblr has this tendency to delete asks youve clicked on and it will even do it through email sometimes. if its happening that you try viewing them from the app first andnthey never show up but they do in your email then its probably something else.

other possible causes are 1. asker has blocked you or their blog was deleted. the emails are generally permanent until you delete them yourself but the ask will usually disappear if the sender has blocked you or their blog is deleted (not always tho bc tumblrs code is bad)

if the emails have the name of the blog in them then you can test this by searching their blog. if it still exists and you arent blocked then its just tumblr working badly. asks get deleted very easily and by mistake a lot. frequently tumblr will just decide to delete them after you view them. and uf your askbox is empty but still says theres asks that just means your counter is off. its not fixable unfortunately.

if the asks are not showing up in your askbox bit the askers blog still exists then the asks are probably deleted. and if the blog doesnt exist or has blocked you then they are definitely gone. in the event the asker hasnt blocked you and their blog still exists or its anonymous then a lot of people just screenshot the email and answer it that way in a post

sorry this ask is kinda a mess. tumblrs code is really messy and theres aot of weird stuff about how it works so theres not really a single answer to this question unfortunately. ive had this problem before and for me it was tumblr just deciding to delete asks. but its hard to know exactly what the cause is all the time

btw i love ur art and ur game!!!!!

thank u!! hmm that might be it.. i don't understand how the website would "know" that i'd clicked on the email though because i don't open the link 🤔

i thought it might be that the blogs were deleted but it's happened maybe three or four times in the past two weeks, and they were all nice messages so i don't think the askers would block me either..

though i should be used to this site's quirks at this point i suppose! anyways thank you for taking the time to help me and i'm really sorry to anyone who i haven't responded to because of this, it won't bother me at all if you resend your ask!
