The **Ask-Ebola-Chan** blog was one of the few major hubs of the Ebola-Chan community. It is estimated that around the end of the blog, it had a total follower count of nearly 10000 users. The blog itself was set up as an "ask-me-anything" blog, allowing questions by users to 'Ebby', the nickname of Ebola-Chan on this blog. The blog was created by A.E.C (Short for Ask-Ebola-Chan) who also did all of the art (with an exception of art that includes Babesia-Chan). The blog's popularity prompted the opening of commissions, A.E.C's participation in Virusu Shoujo and even an online shop for Ebola-Chan merchandise.

The blog was made by A.E.C in September of 2014 as a result of their interest in the concept of ask blogs. When Ebola-Chan initially debuted and spread around and about on the internet, she came under A.E.C's radar which resulted in a few artworks of her. The art itself was seen as tasteless by A.E.C's audience which prompted the creation of the Ask-Ebola-Chan Tumblr blog to seperate Ebola-Chan art from A.E.C's main account.

The Ask-Ebola-Chan was a common target of harassment for outsiders that disliked the idea of an Ebola-Chan centered blog on Tumblr. Despite the blackmail and hate messages, this was counterproductive, as it fueled A.E.C to continue developing the blog.

While operating on the blog, A.E.C's opened commissions for cheap prices that let people (anonymously) have Ebby art on-demand for a small price. While this certainly helped A.E.C staying afloat, this had left a bitter and sour taste in their mouth in the long run. Often, these commissions were racially offensive. For instance, Commander Greyshades - a commissioner at the time, is recalled by A.E.C to be one of the main commissioners that submitted offensive requests in exchange for money. Archives show that Greyshades often commissioned Ebby with nazist symbolism.

# Chronology

## Prelude

Initially started in September 2014, Ebola-Chan had taken the internet by surprise and spread across 4chan, eventually finding it's way to Tumblr. A.E.C, before starting the blog, caught onto Ebola-Chan early and invested their time drawing her. Being much less prone to attract users with more extreme taste in humor, the distaste about Ebola-Chan was more prominent on Tumblr than on 4chan. This was evidential by A.E.C's at-the-time audience disapproving of the character. Despite this, A.E.C's interest in the character continued, and it eventually lead to a seperate account featuring Ebola-Chan. A.E.C's interest in the Ask-Me-Anything dynamic of Tumblr prompted the ask-ebola-chan blog to be more directed towards questions rather than an art dump.

## 2014

Starting in the end of September, the ask-ebola-chan blog quickly gathered controversy and was fast to pick up hate mail from users in big quantities. Despite numerous attempts to denounce A.E.C and the blog as a whole, the efforts were counterproductive, and it motivated A.E.C to continue drawing and posting about Ebola-Chan, going as far as putting some haters even on display and taunting them as their "fans". Within a week, the Ask-Ebola-Chan blog had accumulated 1000 followers.

While the blog was still incredibly young, A.E.C was quickly picked up on and was recruited to work on Virusu Shoujo and posted their progress on the A.E.C Tumblr account in early October 2014. In retrospect, A.E.C stated the project to have been a scam benefiting only the owner who quickly disappeared after obtaining the money; leaving the development team a stray.

## 2015

### Commissions

As 2015 started, A.E.C had opened commissions. While initially receiving regular requests, A.E.C soon found themselves to be commissioned in big numbers by an user known as Commander Greyshades (in reference to the Anonymous icon of Tumblr). Greyshades' vision was more extreme, hinting that he may have come from 4chan. A.E.C regulary found commission requests by this user, most if not all with nazi symbolism in it. A.E.C has stated that Greyshades used multiple accounts for his commissions as he found himself often suspended. One of these accounts being known as 50greypairsofshades. Virusu Shoujo had seen a little upheaval as the owner was mentioned to have "personal problems on his hands". While most likely unrelated, A.E.C shifted their focus on commissions for the time being; showing the amount of submissions that Commander Greyshades had sent in. A.E.C mentions that the only reason for accepting these commissions was simply for the money; not for any racial profiling or discrimination.

Around late April 2015, the Ask-Ebola-Chan blog had officially started to sell merch It is unknown how much was sold and how much was profited, but a handful of sales are confirmed.

### Leester

Between April 25 2015 and April 29 2015, the Ask-Ebola-Chan blog had a second owner - LeesterSisterFister. Leester initially was a fan that befriended A.E.C and was granted access to the blog. This prompted Leester to design her very own Virus OC: Babesia-Chan. Apart from now being an artist for the Ask-Ebola-Chan blog, Leester was also supposed to Voice Act for Ebola-Chan.

Right after Leester's debut to the Ask-Ebola-Chan blog, A.E.C introduced one of their first non-virus, returning characters: Hazmat. Despite his debut featuring his very own introduction comic, it was probable that Babesia-Chan's debut, being right after Hazmat's debut, dragged in more attention. Months later, in July 2015, A.E.C introduced their second non-virus, returning character: Pripyat.

## End

In October 2015, A.E.C woke up to find the Ask-Ebola-Chan blog was formally deleted. Being one of the two people that had access to it and being concioussly aware that they did not delete the blog themselves, they were quick to conclude and confirm that Leester had deleted the blog. As Tumblr does not allow you to reactivate your account after deletion, A.E.C moved on from the blog. After the blog's deletion, A.E.C and Leester never spoke to each other again. It is rumored that Leester had deleted the blog as moods changed; a friend of a friend of hers got infected by Ebola which had changed her opinion of Ebola-Chan.
