Are your f/os and s/is coffee or tea people?

All of my s/is are Tea bats (or blood cuz vamp lol)

Empress: Neither. Blood is her only source of beverage cuz its a Creature

Mukago:

-> Canon: Neither. Similar Empress, she can only drink blood because she's a demon

-> My Modern AU: Both. I see her drinking coffee in the morning to prepare for the bullshit at her job. But she loves a nice afternoon tea on her off days

N Gin:

-> IAT: Neither. Dude can't drink coffee and tea takes too long. He's an impatient fuck. Kerosene or petroleum in his cup is all he needs to help him power through

-> Radical: Tea. Dude shouldn't be trusted with coffee. He's already energetic enough. He doesn't need more energy.

Nic: Coffee. She gives me a black coffee or straight espresso kinda vibe. Nice and classy

Oswald: Coffee. His canon coffee order is black coffee with two lumps of sugar

Peri and Gale: probably tea. Not a lot is known about them (plural)

Reala: Tea. Cuz brit lol. And since they're connected to dreams and more teas help with sleep than coffee does. Although dealing with NiGHTS makes him wish she could have a taste of coffee.

Zavok: Blood or tea. "I prefer blood over water." And his master is very shifu/sensei coded and has most likely drilled the proper way to make and prepare tea into Zavok's skull

🐺 and 💐 for any f/o(s)? :)

Thank you for the ask >w<

(Here's the asks game they're referring to)

🐺 What would your f/o's fursona be? if they're already furry, what would their humansona be like?

-> Empress: she would be a lioness. Lions are strong, but the females are much, much faster. Empress, in game, is one of the fastest bosses in House of the Dead 4. Plus, lions are called "the king of the jungle" (despite the fact that lions don't live in jungles, but I digress) And Empress. It's the Empress.

-> Mukago: Definitely a moth. I've seen so much art of people revamping her demon self to be a moth and I absolutely love it. I specifically see her either being a Cecropia moth or a Ceanothus silkmoth

-> N. Gin: a sheep. And it's all because of @luckylunatix . They have a few posts explaining how they think Gin is sheep-coded and you should REALLY check it out.

-> Nic: she's a furry, a jerboa to be exact. So her human self would still be either a treasure hunter/bounty hunter or a crime boss. (I think i explained my backstory for my Nic in my other posts, check out my battic tag)

-> Reala: this one took some thinking but definitely an owl. Owls are nocturnal, Reala comes from the dream world (and people sleep at night). Owls can fly. Flight is one of their main powers. Owls are also fierce predators. And Reala is an antagonist in their canon.

-> Zavok: a dragon. He is always associated with dragons. He controls a giant mechanical dragon in Lost World. His car is called the Road Dragoon. And he likes the aesthetics of dragons. I'm thinking a blend of both eastern and western dragons as he is very oni inspired, so an eastern dragon makes sense. But he also is heavily affiliated with fire, so some elements of western dragons makes sense.

💐 imagine a bouquet that symbolizes your f/os what flowers are in it?

I'm going by color and meaning

-> Empress:

Black Dahlias (Dahlias themselves represent elegance, like a queen, and instability, like a biological weapon, but Black Dahlias, in particular represent mystery and mourning. Empress is a Creature, after all, an undead)

Black and Blue Roses (Black roses represent death, Blue Roses represent mystery and the impossible)

Black and Purple Calla Lillies (Calla Lillies represent femininity, an aspect the Empress tarot card represents. Black represents mystery. And Purple represents Passion.)

-> Mukago:

Red Anemone (Anenomes themselves represent forsakeness, in KnY she dies in the first chapter/episode she was introduced in. And red ones represent Death, it is a funeral flower in Japan)

Azaleas (They represent fragility, she mentally breaks easily, and femininity, she is the only woman in the Lower Ranks seem in the show, so it fits),

Purple Hyacinth (Represining sorrow and regrets. If you seen her scene/chapter, this would make sense.)

-> N. Gin:

Purple Clematises (In general, Clematises represent cleverness or intelligence. And the purple ones represent ambition. He is a mad scientists so it makes sense.

Lisianthus (They represent devotion. His main trait, apart from his instability, is his devotion to the two people who matter the most to him, his master and his partner)

White Rhododendrons (Rhododendrons represent danger but the white ones also represent positivity. He's the most chipper of the N Squad)

-> Nic:

Camellia (They represent longevity and endurance)

Carolina Roses (They represent strength, beauty, and danger. All are pretty fitting qualities for a treasure/bounty hunter turned crime boss)

Tubroses (similar to Carolina Roses, but also Tubroses represent sensuality)

-> Reala:

Red Tulips (Tulips in general represent new beginnings and in their change from a general of a nightmares to a protective figure in my own dreams, it fits. And the red ones in particular represent love and passion.)

Moonflowers (They represent hidden love and dreams. Fitting of the explanation I just gave for Red Tulips)

Black Velvet Petunia (Elegance, change, and mystery)

-> Zavok:

Gloriosa Flame Lilies (They represent passion.),

Red Gladiolous flowers (They represent strength and integrity),

Red and Yellow Spider Lilies (Death for red, and wisdom for yellow)

I spent almost an hour looking for flowers. Holy smokes. I put my whole batussy into that one

[batselfshipinsane]

now give me some songs that remind YOU of YOUR sona, f/o, and self ship!!! 😈 mweheheh - tara ( aka @takeyourhands )

eeh-hee-hee! Thank you for the ask, Tara ^^

I have so many playlists for my selfships, some are bigger than others. Most of my ships/individuals share songs. Some I have little to no songs for so I can't make a playlist, but I digress

STRAP IN SELFSHIPPERS, CUZ THIS IS A LONG ONE!!!

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

I don't have any songs for my Emprattie ship, but I have a few for Empress herself. PSYCHO by Self-Deception, Ready For Combat by Icon for Hire

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

Chickago, We Fell in Love in October by Girl in Red, despite the fact the story I wrote for the ship takes place during the winter, but the mood is still there

I don't have a song for the AU of Mukago I have an established selfship with, but I do have one for her canon self, and it's Panic Room by Au/Ra

But Chickory, their song is Dead Walk by Red Hook. It actually inspired a chapter in my Chickago Fic (To Quit or Not to Quit: A New Life)

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

Battic, I have SOOO many songs for: Hit and Run by Lolo, La La Lainey by Forever the Sickest Kids, She Keeps Me Up by Nickelback, to name a few

Nic, herself, also has a lot of songs: Across the Line by Linkin Park inspired her backstory (she had very little story in the comics she appeared in, so I gave her one myself), Bitch by Meredith Brooks, Delicious by Ayesha, GRRRLS by AViVA, etc

Batvok has only three T^T (With how much time I spent working on Revenge is a Dish Best Served Hot, I am astonished I only found three. ONE OF THE SONGS I SHARE WITH MY BATGIN SHIP!!!) Victim or Survivor by Citizen Soldier and Icon for Hire, Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie, and Hardcore by Beast in Black

And Zavok, himself, I have a ton: Strike Back by We as Human, Monster by Willyecho, Enemy by Blue Stahli, and Be Prepared by Jonathan Young

Now, Battie the Little Brown Bat also has a ton. I spent a lot of time writing her from the Soiree Saga (the stories that have my Battic stuff and Batvok stuff), so of course I do: Sleepwalking by The Birthday Massacre, Cannibal by Kesha, You're So Creepy by Ghost Town, Sex Metal Barbie by In This Moment

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

BatGin, I separate into two AUs (cuz I selfship with both Crash 4 N. Gin, standard BatGin, and Crash of the Titans/Mind Over Mutant N-Gin, Rad!BatGin), and those two have different songs for them.

Cyberhex by Motionless in White (It was the song, amongst other things, that inspired me to write a BatGin fic to begin with), Hardcore by Beast in Black (look at my Batvok songs for link), Daisy Cutter by 311, Not Over til We Say So by Blue Stahli, to name a few for BatGin

And Sick and Twisted Affair by My Darkest Days, Kiss Me You Animal by Burn the Ballroom, Ashes by Stellar, and Bite Me by CreepP and Ayesha, to name a few, for Rad!BatGin

Matryoshka by Lollia and Kuraiinu for both (I have a lot for this ship because music is so important to this ship)

Bite Me, in particular, comes with a funny story. I first heard that song a year ago and WASN'T during a Crash Bandicoot Hyperfixation. Hell, it was during a Batman hyperfixation. But when I heard that song, I IMMEDIATELY thought of Radical Entertainment Era N-Gin, and since that song has two singers, it's perfect for Rad!BatGin.

Despite that, there aren't many songs that make me think of just N. Gin (either versions) Only ULTRAnumb by Blue Stahli (that song fits Crash 4 N. Gin so well; it's not even funny) and Flesh by Simon Curtis for Radical N-Gin

And even less songs for Bat-Terry. Only Rad!Au Bat-Terry has a song and it's Back from the Dead by Halestorm (a song that also fits Mobian Battie)

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

Batala only has one: Dreams by The Cranberries. I used to think of the NiGHTS Series as a whole with this song, but as I got older (and as Reala themself has been appearing in more and more of my dreams), I thought of the Batala ship.

Reala, as long as I've known him as a character (since childhood), and started shipping myself with her (since the start of adulthood), has very few songs that make me think of them. Shockingly, only Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode and its many covers by other artists

I spend too much of my time listening to music and zoning out to songs that make me think of my ocs, my favorite characters, and my selfships. If you guys read this all the way through, may your microwaves heat up your food perfectly.

[batselfshipinsane]

Haven't shared these but I drew a bunch of my f/os and myself as Pokémon. I had plans to do all of em but I sadly got distracted

For those listed i have: Battie as a Swoobat (moi), Mukago as a Frosmoth, Reala as a Musharna, and N. Gin as a Flaaffy

If anyone finds my post and draws their own f/os a pokemon, please tag me. Seeing event happy with their ships fills me with joy

[batselfshipinsane]

🍂🎃 and 💌 for the horror themed ask game! Feel free to yap about any of your f/os!! ^w^

Thank you for the ask, Spitfire >w<

Here's the ask game if anyone ways to partake

🍂 What weather/time of day/season reminds you of your f/o?

-> Nighttime makes me think of Mukago and Reala. They're the only ones who I can assosiate with a weather or time of day

🎃 For Halloween, what do you f/os dress up as?

-> Empress doesn't need a costume. She's already spooky enough

-> I can see Mukago being a moth-themed maid for Halloween. She definitely wears cute costumes

-> N. Gin goes all out for Halloween. He would be a slasher from a niche horror movie. If there is a Halloween party, he's bringing the soundtrack

-> Nic would stick with the classics. Either a cat, a witch, or smth like that. If there was a Halloween party, she's bringing the drinks

-> I saw a piece of fanart with Reala as the Headless Horesman and loved it so they're being that

-> I saw a picture of Zavok as a Masquerade-themed pirate once (and it's a Canon costume in Rumble, something i stopped playing) so he's going as that

💌 How does your f/o say ' I love you' without actually saying it out loud?

-> Empress cannot speak beneath her mask (I draw her with a big, metal slasher-like mask) so saying it aloud is out of the question entirely. Stalking without maiming is its love language

-> Mukago brings food home raw human mostly

-> N. Gin has a lot of ways to show he loves me. Most of which aren't normal. The most normal is making songs about me or making playlists and sharing his favorite muffins. It's normal-er than making WOMD in my name or an explosive air show

-> Just Nic's presence out of work is enough to show she loves me

-> Reala being a good figure in my dreams instead of terrorizing me is a testament to how much they love me

-> Zavok would bring me the spoils of his raids or something he found and thought of me during an invasion

[batselfshipinsane]

🐬 What is your f/os favorite meme/trend if they could pick one, no matter what era they're from.

Thank you for the ask, anon ^^

Here's the ask game if anyone finds this post out in the wild

I actually don't see any of my f/os partaking in any meme trends (maybe except my Modern AU of Mukago, but I don't Japanese social media trends well enough to make any assumption, heck I'm behind on some of the trends here in the U.S)

But i can say some of my f/os are fashionistas with their favorite garment of an era

-> Empress doesn't wear anything besides her armor, so its out

-> My modern AU Mukago is a an Otome girlie. It's cute and lolita-like, but it precedes most of what makes Lolita, Lolita. She doesn't like to stand out but is still unapologetically herself

-> If N. Gin isn't in his lab coat, would blend alternative fashion from the 90s and from the now. He DIYs his own stuff a lot. (But if we're talking Radical Era N-Gin, dude would dress either scenmo or goth and there is no ib between)

-> Nic, when not in her signature suits, is a Y2K girlie. Halter tops and low rise jeans. But she only wears whites and grays

-> I'm imagining Reala trying out the bunny hood that was all the rage during Rona's Reign of Terror.

-> If I'm being honest, Zavok doesn't wear any clothes in canon. Just spiked cuffs. He's out

[batselfshipinsane]

🛒, 📼, and 🧩 for any f/o you wanna yap about!! :3

Hi, Kit!!!! Thanks for the ask ^^

The ask game is here if anyone wants to have a gander

🛒 How is your f/o at the grocery store? Are they organized? Are they a menace to society?

Menace: Empress

-> Empress has never stepped foot into a grocery store before and her height, plus its two massive chainsaws/massive dual-sided chainsaw would wreak so much havoc on the shoppers. She also doesn't leave the subway lot it conquered much and only feeds on meat/meat products, being a Creature and all

Either/or: Zavok

-> It really depends if he's either in the mood to study the people of the lands he plans to conquer by witnessing them at their most mundane. Or in the mood to allow his pack to destroy the grocery store for fun.

Organized: Mukago, N. Gin, Nic, and Reala

-> Most are actual functioning members of society.

-> Mukago and Reala don't need to eat like normal people do (demons only need to eat meat/meat products and we don't know what Nightmareans eat other than Nightopians so they're just tagging along so I don't get sidetracked)

-> N. Gin is only there for muffin ingredients.

-> Nic is the second one who'd be there for a normal grocery run. Although, if she was in a big city and not a small town, she'd send one of her lackeys to run her errands (you gotta lay low being a mob boss)

📼 Would your f/o take a haunted VHS tape seriously, or would they think its a sham

Think its a sham: Empress, N. Gin

-> Empress would throw it aside, maybe even destroy it, letting the ghost inside it out

-> N. Gin may like messed up things but only if there is some logic to it (twisted said logic may be) so he'd think it is some kind of prank or joke. And then eat his words if it is ACTUALLY haunted.

Take it seriously: Mukago, Nic, Reala, Zavok

-> Mukago would take the possibility of a ghost or yokai being in the VHS very seriously and would beg not to put it in

-> Nic is a realist so she'd think it's a joke but is somewhat knowledgeable in the supernatural given her past as a treasure hunter. She knows not to mess with them

-> Reala knows humans fear ghosts and the unknown and would take it seriously to study it. cuz they're literally a being created by the God of Nightmares. He would want to study it so she can give their army some leverage.

->And Zavok would totally try to control the ghost inside the VHS and have it aid his quest of world domination

🧩Would your f/o be able to survive a saw trap?

All would survive

-> Jigsaw would have to try his damnest to make a trap big enough for Empress, and even then she could just escape with brute force

-> Mukago I can see surviving because she's a demon and can regenerate if she loses any limbs. But I can also see her not surviving because she runs away from her problems more than fighting her way through them.

-> N. Gin would relish the fact that he's in a Saw trap. Plus he's durable enough (and fr3sky enough depending on the timeline and what point in said timeline) to push through it and smart enough to find a way out, being a mad genius and all. But he'd be more likely to want to study the traps to try and recreate them either for fun or Cortex's benefit

-> I would be shocked if Jigsaw found a trap to suit Reala because they can simply Paraloop the trap away or summon on of his Mare Balloons (basically meteors) to destroy it.

-> Zavok can literally control machines, break stuff with ease, and breaths fire. Jigsaw got nothing on him.

[batselfshipinsane]

Did this with my f/os

I did N. Gin twice because both versions of him have major differences

I did Reala twice because they're both a guy and a gal (they have no gender and all the genders all at once)

Shockingly, only Nic got bingo

BTW, the bingo sheets were made by @finniestoncrane and all of the icons in each of the free spaces (aka evil/villainous because that is a requirement) are done by me

Edit: I hate Tumblr Mobile formatting
