Ask Row and Friends!

Ask Rowan and his friends some questions! Aka, just a silly little blog filled with silly little characters. Follow my main account @k1ng-r0wan

[ask-row-and-friends]

Uh... hey everyone! The names Rowan! Prince of Valourinth, but uh... I'd... rather not use that title... so just call me Rowan!

This is a blog I put together so that me and my friends can interact with those beyond our dimension! Pretty neat, huh?

Though I suppose I should explain a little bit about our own dimension... uh... you may have to bear with me then, this is gonna be a long post...

[Skip to the bottom for tags and rules, fair warning this is extremely long]

[Anything in these brackets is OOC]

[Currently available to ask: Rowan, Sajan]

-☆-☆-☆-

If I am to give to some basic information about our world, we have a little colour system here that determines if one is a sin or a virtue, this being seen in one's eye colour.

For example with myself, I have purple eyes! That means I am either a virtue of Hope or a sin of Envy... uh... in MY case it's the latter...

Here's a little chart to hopefully make things a bit easier!

My friend and I happen to make up many of these sins and virtues, actually thinking about it now, I think we have at least one of everything here! That's pretty neat to think about!

Uh... anyways, here's some basic descriptions of each of my friends! Uh... I'll maybe update this later if needed (or if my friends want to contribute themselves).

-☆-☆-☆-

Phew, that was long... but hopefully very helpful for you guys! Hmm now... maybe I should put a little chart together! Show you guys what everyone's relationships are like, that sounds like a good idea, right?

So how's about I do just that!

-☆-☆-☆-

[Sins Chart:]

[Virtues Chart:]

[Everyone:]

-☆-☆-☆-

So uh... yeah! That's about it I think! Me and my friends look forward to your potential questions! We'll try to answer them as best we can!

Hopefully my friends are available for questions aswell... uh... I'll try to let you guys know if any of them are unavailable for questions, maybe I'll even see if I can ask others to pass on certain questions? I don't know... we'll have to wait and see if that's the case...

-☆-☆-☆-

[Okay this is the start of the more OOC section, the rules, potential notes, etc for those who want to interact with this blog]

For starters: my main account is @k1ng-r0wan for those wondering, it's where I post art of the ocs part of this blog and other stuff (feel free to send asks other there aswell if you want!)

Moving onto the rules for this blog:

1) I will not do anything NSFW, the furthest I'd likely go is maybe making sex jokes with Sajan.

2) If I suddenly go dark on this ask blog then either assume I haven't got any asks to reply to or I'm just busy (the latter is most likely since I'm busy with uni).

3) I can do some out of character replies or non-canon posts (I do love myself some shitposts every now and again lol), those posts will be tagged as such.

4) Other blog interactions are welcome here, even if they make 0 sense with my characters universe (hell, I got inspired simply by interacting with an ask blog in character).

5) Shipping is allowed, all of the characters mentioned here are over 18. I don't mind possibly responding to asks about ships.

6) If I don't respond to an ask then either assume I don't know how to respond or I don't feel comfortable responding to it.

7) I am possibly planning to allow certain characters take over the blog instead of Rowan on occassion (potentially some who aren't listed here), I may potentially take requests for certain characters to take over.

8) I might talk about sensitive topics, but I will try to actively avoid them. If I do discuss a more sensitive topic then I'll add trigger warnings in the tags (inform me if I potentially miss something that might require one).

9) Kinda just want to add this incase something pops up in future, but I am autistic, I might misunderstand certain asks and thus want to make that clear here incase that happens in the near future. Please inform me if I misunderstood an ask.

10) The main purpose of this blog is to simply explore and develop my characters better and to lore dump, if certain designs or lore get changed I will simply tag it to say its not canon anymore. This blog is mainly just for fun at the end of the day.

May add more if needed.

DNI: Pedos, proshippers, bigots, etc.

-☆-☆-☆-

Side note:

I am planning some potential time jumping or flashbacks, so this is a simple reference for how you can tell whether something is in the present or the past:

-☆-☆-☆-

Tags I may use:

#Ask_Row&Friends - main tag

#Row&Friends_Chain - for rp responses and such

#OOC_Row&Friends - ooc posts

#[name of character]_Ask - for specific character asks/responses

#KR non-canon - the not so canon events (mostly shitposts)

#KR lore - lore tag I tend to use in general with my characters

I'll add more if needed, but I hope y'all enjoy this silly little blog :)

[ask-row-and-friends]

[Okay so with Artfight coming to an end I think the ask blog will be back up and running within maybe a week? A few days? Idk, I'll get back to it during August at some point though, add Helia to the crew and so on and so forth]

[What I do want to mention though is that I'm open to taking requests to draw any of the characters of these blogs over memes, so if you'd like to request any memes I could recreate with my characters then that'd be cool]

[ask-row-and-friends]

[Okay yeah so I fucking lied, I've been a little caught up in other responsibilities (COUGH university prep COUGH), but I will say I'm not abandoning this. Maybe when I've got the last of my uni prep done I'll try and get some asks done, maybe add Helia to the asks, but with the fact I've literally gotta read BOOKS for my course. Yeah nah, I'm gonna need all the time I can get to have that done before my classes start.]

[Thank you all for your patience though, any "put your characters in this meme" things you maybe wanna send in the meantime though I should hopefully be able to fill without issue and also including all 15 characters if any of y'all wanna send those in. Either way, regular asks will hopefully come back as soon as soon as my schedule is freed up.]

[ask-row-and-friends]

[I will get back to asks at some point, unsure when, but fornow I suppose the ask blog is on an indefinite hiatus so I can concentrate on other things (like references, commissions, etc).]

[Again, I will return at some point, I even have a draft for one of the asks I have, just need to put this to one side so I can concentrate on more time sensitive tasks.]

[ask-row-and-friends]

[Because asks have been a little slow (note: I am still working on certain asks, just trying to find the motivation to draw) I'm gonna offer up another character to be open to asks. Also doing so with the hopes it'll revive my motivation.]

[These are once again going to be based on who the current available characters are close with and possibly capable of convincing to join the roster, though now with some of Sajan's pals.]

Who would you like to see next on the ask blog?

Radiance

Vitani

Azaezel/Ezekiel (maybe both idk)

Helia

Igo (maybe with Mari?)

other (say in comments)

see results (mostly for me to see lol)

Voting ended onJun 20, 2024

[ask-row-and-friends]

[A rather close vote but Helia is the winner, I will attempt to make an intro post for her soon, more than likely after I've answered the last few questions in my inbox.]

[Might also possibly give her an intro before if they are character specific asks anyway.]

[ask-row-and-friends]

"Hey Sajan, is that tiny little pistol all you got? Or do you have some more intense, dangerous, destructive, and fucking AWESOME guns on ya?!"

- Police Chief Creo

Good question! And the answer is...

HELL. FUCKING. YES!

Hey, is your refrigerator running?

Running as in... turned on or..? With legs???

But they don't... they don't have legs so it... it's gotta be the former? Uh... yes???

[ask-row-and-friends]

[I am hopefully gonna answer some asks this week, just had a very hectic and busy few days so I haven't had time to do much at all. Will try and catch up with the asks I currently have, which luckily aren't a lot. Please keep do keep sending asks and hopefully I'll begin getting through the ones currently in my inbox later in the week :) ]

[ask-row-and-friends]

Hey rowan, considering you're wearing glasses,

How blind are you without them from 1-10?

1 being essentially not blind at all

10 Being that you're so blind you could explode

I'd say I'm pretty blind without them, not to the point I could explode, but... enough that it takes a whole lot of squinting and concentrating to try and see things. I think my eyesight more or less got progressively worse over the years? I honestly don't remember it being this hard to see without them...

Oh wait yeah, the scale thing, uh... I'd say maybe a 6 or a 5? As in... I can see a little, but I still definitely need them to properly take in my surroundings. I definitely wouldn't be able to read very well at the very least...

[ask-row-and-friends]

To both, who are your favourite members of the group?

R: Favourite member? I mean... I like everyone really... well... mostly everyone... I don't really have a best friend or a favourite friend... I mean... I guess I'm closest to Sajan, but... I've also known him the longest so... I-I don't know... I guess Igo and Azaezel are cool? Radiance is... he's nice... just... a little hot-headed sometimes, I... I dunno... I don't think I can really pick a favourite...

S: A favourite? Now that's a difficult ask... I mean, me and Vitani are besties, but we don't exactly get much time to hang out with her tourin' and what not. Me and Igo are also cool with each other, though... he's practically cool with everyone. Maybe... Radiance? Guys a total hermit, but he's cool I guess... honestly I might be the one guy he actually hangs out with... kinda makes sense since we're normally paired up for missions. Not sure how he feels 'bout me though...

[ask-row-and-friends]

Favorite ice cream flavour 🤨🤨 (yous will be forever judged if yous answer incorrectly)

R: Wait... is there a wrong answer to this???

S: Apparently so, but to answer it, my favourite is salted caramel. It's the perfect mix of sweet and salty.

R: Salty ice cream???

S: Eh don't worry 'bout it, what's your favourite anyway? Pretty sure I know the answer.

R: Oh well... it's not really changed much, it's still kinda... basic...

S: Vanilla and chocolate?

R: Yeah... heh... they're just really tasty, even if I'm not a fan of cold food...

[Other characters below cut.]

Helia - Mango

Radiance - Vanilla (he hasn't tried many flavours)

Ide - Cookie dough

Mari - Birthday cake

Igo - Strawberry

Azaezel - Rocky road

Ezekiel - Chocolate brownie

Damien - Strawberry cheesecake

Vincent - Banana

Cilantre - Vanilla (similar to Radiance, hasn't tried enough flavours)

Vitani - Bubblegum

Harmonia - Blackcurrant

Djal - Neapolitan

[Just kinda thought of these randomly based on their personalities.]

[ask-row-and-friends]

In terms of combat who'd win

R: Uh that's... rather vague... like... hand to hand? With weapons? Well... I think either way Sajan would-

S: Rowan would win.

R: Wh- but you by far have the most experience-

S: Rowan would win, also includin' the rest of the gang? Rowan would win.

R: ...

[ask-row-and-friends]

Dear Sajan - How are you so attractive? What's your secret?

Oh, look at you, ya lil' flatterer! Though I can't say I blame you... incubi such as me are simply born beautiful...

Though... a little make-up doesn't hurt either... just makes what's already perfect absolutely flawless!

[ask-row-and-friends]

Uh... Hi, Rowan and Sajan! What do you guys do during storms? -C. Forrest

R: Storms? Oh yeah! We have our own little way of handling them as a group! Almost like a tradition in the house! It's... actually rather fun!

[-☆- Flashback -☆-]

R: We all just kinda... cozy up in the living room and wait for it to pass. I don't really mind storms that much, but Igo... he really struggles with them so... we all try and help him through it! Help each other deal with it... Ide always makes us snacks... too many snacks... but it's just... it's really nice to spend time with everyone like this...

R: Actually... now that I think about it...

R: Sajan, you... you always end up... wandering off... but... why?

S: Oh, uh...

S: I just... got my own little 'tradition', y'know?

R: Like what?

S: Like...

.

.

S: Helpin' a friend out...

[ask-row-and-friends]

[Just to give a quick update ig, I am working on the next ask but it's started to become rather ambitious story telling wise. Still gonna keep to my ambitious idea, but I'd just like to let people know that I am still working on answering current asks in the inbox.]

[Tbh I'm kinda torturing myself by keeping to a chronological order with these asks when I could handle the easy and short ones first, but idk, I just like doing things in order so people don't think I'm just skipping their asks (though it's not like people can see the order they're in anyway???). But yeah, uhhhh, here's a small snipit of what's to come, cropped so I don't just reveal EVERYTHING about it.]

[Sneak Peak under the cut.]

[Sad Sajan Hours.]

[Also Sajan casual wear reveal ig!]

[ask-row-and-friends]

Can I put either of you in plastic tupperwear and aggresively shake you around but like /aff?

R: I mean... I don't think I'd particularly enjoy that???

S: I'd be down for that.

R: Of course you would...

R: Is there even a plastic container big enough to fit a person?

S: Heh, either way not a problem for me... I can fit into some pretty tight spaces...

R: SAJAN!
