Ask the Grians!

Many versions of Grian in one place all at once....oh the horror.... Asks pending: 3

[ask-the-grians]

Not for the first time, Grian stares into a purple void in front of him. After some hesitation, he jumps through, only to be met with his own face. Many of his own face, actually. They're stuck here together now, and you are, too. Why not conversate a little?

This is an askblog for various versions of Grian, wherein they can all interact with each other and respond to anything you (yes, you!) drop in the ask box.

Rules:

Specify which Grian(s) are being addressed in your asks please!

Asks will be answered via textpost, digital art, or traditional art depending on my mood.

Suggestive asks are okay, but nothing explicitly sexual. I may be more iffy with suggestive asks regarding MS!Grian and DH!Grian/Cuteguy since I'm not affiliated with those projects.

Include trigger warnings in asks if relevant.

Shipping is awesome and fun and I encourage it!

No real-world discourse

(signoff - ⚖️)

This blog is entirely unaffiliated with Grian and all of the projects mentioned (go read Double Hearted and Midnight Strangers). | Many things in this blog will be influenced by my headcanons. I <3 vague lore that I can mess with | All art and writing on this blog is made by me (Soren) | Other variations of Grian may be added, but I'm not doing KOV or Tokyo Soul

HC!Grian and Xelqua are both already aware of all "canon" Grians (aka all except for Ariana, Cuteguy, and MS!Grian). | All LS!Grians remember 3rd life, but all other seasons besides their own are hard to recall | Evo Grian remembers YHS | Ariana Griande is a popstar!

I haven't actually watched Evo but I know the general premise....sorry... | My knowledge of YHS comes from reaction/summary videos, so I apologize if I get anything wrong | I actually haven't kept up with Hermitcraft aside from seasons 9 and 11 so my knowledge is limited outside of those

May I give pats?

Of course!

What do you mean most of them don’t bite… *suspiciously looks at all the Grians* Who do I need to be cautious of…

The Grians sit around a roundtable, looking between each other and the blank cards in their hands. For some reason, the void insisted on dramatics. Right now, it was a dim place around them, a single fluorescent light hovering above their table to keep things illuminated. Most of the Grians had a pen in hand, though some had already set theirs aside.

One by one, they wrote their answers on the card they were supplied, then cast it into the pile at the center of the table. When everyone had drawn up their opinion, Xelqua collected the cards and shuffled them around. Then, they counted.

🪽: The Doctor, Hermitcraft Grian, and YHS Grian each received 1 vote for most bite-y.

🦜(spoken with sarcastic offense) : Unheard of!

💉: Maybe? I don't think it's my first instinct.

🪽: With two votes each, there's a third place tie between Past Life Grian and Cuteguy.

💞: Surprised I'm not higher. I'd make a great zombie.

🪽: Voted second most bite-y with 3 votes is Limited Life Grian.

🧨: Sounds about right!

🪽: In first place, voted the most bite-y of the Grians gathered here in the void, with 4 total votes is…

⛓️‍💥: It's 3rd Life Grian, isn't it?

💄: Hey, you're ruining the suspense!

🪽: It's 3rd Life Grian.

🌵 (spoken around the pen he's chewing on): …I can see that being a possibility.

[ask-the-grians]

Sorry for no posts in the last few days! I'm finding the motivation to draw/write rn and I've been focused on my real life a lot. I'll respond to the waiting asks soon :] -⚖️

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

[pendragyn]

it's probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it

but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.

[triflesandparsnips]

Reblog if your ask box is open.

[ask-the-grians]

Asks make the world go round, please leave one!

(I promise most of them don't bite!)

[ask-the-grians]

I give HC!Grian a ✨Pesky Bird✨ to keep him company. :) 🦜

A pesky bird has been given! He seems to appreciate it.

Double life Grian, how do you feel about your death? Are you upset about not being able to warn Scar?

[ask-the-grians]

its pride month, you know what that means! (plspls get the reference)

What? You want me to make, like, Gay!Grian ? We have 14 of those already

[ask-the-grians]

I wanted to make a little list of all of the ask blogs following the theme of "multiple versions of [insert mcyt character] interact with each other and the askers" so we could have a little map of each other :)

@ask-the-grians (that's me!)

@ask-the-martyns

@ask-abolish

@ask-the-gems (this is a system with Gem headmates)

@ask-the-m1gs

@ask-the-scotts

ask-the-avids (the og, discontinued)

@ask-a-marmalade (discontinued)

Let me know if:

A) someone makes a new askblog

B) info should be added/updated

C) you are on this list and want to be removed

[ask-the-grians]

All versions of Grian that have and remember them, what’s your current relationship with Sam and Taurtis?

(I’m gonna be infamous for angsty first asks at this point lol)

[ask-the-grians]

Ooc//

Sorry for no posts the past couple of days! Yesterday I was at a pride festival and today I was very distraught over the current mcyt situation. So, some good, some bad. I'll be responding to asks again tomorrow :]

[ask-the-grians]

to the grian,

here’s a gun!

please don’t use it wisely

*This person meant yhs Grian

Nobody knows you better than yourself.

[ask-the-grians]

Limited Life Grian, Who do you like better in the Bad Boys: Joel or Jimmy?

[ask-the-grians]

@snakebird928

[ask-the-grians]

Ms!Grian, how jealous are you of everyone else’s wings?

(Ooc question, are all of the Grians from the same universe just a different time line (like 3rd life Grian is just on old version of wild life Grian) excluding MS and Double Hearted, or is everyone from a different universe?)
