gosh. rara is gone :( (edit: he's not gone. he's taking a break)

[simpychocochan]

Gotta be real. I miss Nougatships. They were a legend

They did all those events and brought the self ship community together. They were truly a legend.

I hope, whereever they are, that they are ok and happy.

🌙🌙🌙🌙 One for each of your Xenoblade selfships, maybe? To celebrate 3's release being (just about) here!

Hehe, that sounds like an excellent idea to me! Thank you very much for sending all of these in - since I've only finished these now, when you're probably already playing the game, I hope you are having lots of fun with it!~

Give me a 🌙 in my inbox and I’ll give you a random headcanon about my selfship, F/O, or self-insert. - Alright, here we go!

For my selfship with Pyra.. one of the places that means a lot to us is the Dragon's Whiskers, one of the secret areas in the Urayan Titan. After Pyra asserted that - despite being a fire-element Blade - she wasn't adversely affected by water, Sapphire took her down through the lake in the Cataracts of Rujah, and the two ended up in this secret outlook that Sapphire herself named and discovered. Pyra was amazed by the view from that place, because there are glowing Saffronia trees everywhere, and you can see across the entire Urayan Titan to Fonsa Myma.

For my selfship with Perun.. Sapphire isn't necessarily reckless, but she can be very chaotic and try to do things mostly for the fun of it, even if she generally will back out if it becomes too risky. Perun, on the other hand, is much more careful and more of a strategist, taking after her Driver (who is not Sapphire, since she lacks aptitude, but instead Mòrag). I like to think this makes us a good pair, since Sapphire can help Perun get less caught up in pushing herself too far whereas Perun can help Sapphire act less instinctively, for example so she doesn't try and throw Zeke off a bridge (again).

For my selfship with Lora.. it takes us ages to confess our love to each other, though it does happen eventually at some point on the journey, because Lora doesn't know how best to go about confessing whereas Aline is too worried about whether Lora likes her back or not. This inability to make things official, in tandem with our feelings for each other being extremely obvious to everyone else in the party except ourselves, leads to exactly as many exasperated awkward pining moments as you might expect. Something, something, disaster sapphics (when it comes to romance, anyway)

And for my selfship with Vanea.. since both of us are up in Agniratha (albeit Mera makes trips up and down occasionally while Vanea is working), but it had to be abandoned so quickly when the Telethia attacked, I imagine a lot of the Machina who used to live there would have left things behind. So, one of the things Mera does is go into Agniratha to try and salvage and archive some of the things that the other Machina had to leave, and bring them back to their original owners in the Hidden Machina Village, before then making her way back up the Mechonis to reassure Vanea that the other Machina are okay, and to bring her something as a souvenir of sorts. For example, Ice Kiwi Fruit from the Fallen Arm, since they are said to clear the head which Vanea would need after working on Face Nemesis for as long as she does.

I hope that all of those were alright!! Thank you so much once again for sending this ask in, and I apologise for how long it took me to finish answering it ;w;

This was SO fun and it's really refreshing to draw for a fellow Angels of Death shipper. Thank you for commissioning me Noug I really hope you enjoy it OwU~☆

[malewifehenrycooldown]

Your jojo insert sounds really interesting!!!! Wanna tell us more about Taylor?? I really enjoy seeing what people do with theirs (esp if they have a stand!!!!)

You want me to talk about Taylor? Oh you’re in for a wild ride-

LONG POST AHEAD.

I'll talk about Taylor Ripley as she is in Stardust Crusaders cause that’s the only thing I can think about.

First things off Taylor is kinda of a walking contradiction in regards to her character (externally and internally). On the outside she's outrageous especially with her fashion choices and she has this 'tough girl' act to go with it. However on the inside she's actually a quiet and reserved eighteen year old who'd just trying to fit in a complicated world.

I mean she’s pretty caring and kind for the most part. In fact she’s extremely selfless and compassionate heart. She’s also very empathetic, and while a bit of a free spirit, she kinda keeps it to herself because she doesn’t like people that much but also she’s not keen on interacting with new people she doesn't know. She’s frightened of people judging her, solely on who she is and what she does. Also Taylor’s just kinda lost (metaphorically), like she just wants to have a sense of belonging, a place to find/call home even. But even then she's honestly not really sure what she's looking for though (be it place or a group to feel comfortable in). So in a way Part 3 Taylor is kinda having an internal crisis.

Her family is fine as it is, it's just that everyone is so incredibly busy and scattered across the globe as well - it's not like she can make a phone call willy nilly. They love her and she loves them but like time is mean and also BUSINESS IS REALLY BUSY-

The only real like parental figures in her life are Motoko (yeah i dropped her into this universe cause I CAN) and Holly Kujo (this is how she knows Jotaro, she's like kinda childhood friends with him).

Any who back to Taylor; I like to think the way she dresses in a Madonna-Wannabe style helps her to sort of direct her frustrations of not fitting into society into something particularly freeing and productive. Like it feels nice to wear something that makes you feel free and confident, and to her it’s like literally breaking out of her cage by dressing how she wishes. It's not a fad thing either - like sure it looks cool don't get me wrong but it's making a statement too about how some young folks feel so trapped to live up to society's standards.

Kinda on topic, but the name Taylor Ripley is kinda in reference to Taylor Momsen, Taylor Swift and the absolute badass that is ‘Ellen Ripley’ from Aliens. Look Taylor is a mish mash of a lot of things-

I guess you can pinpoint that for being the reason why she and Jotaro are just really close together. They're like two peas in a pod, if you look for one, then chances are you'll also find the other one too.

Despite the shyness, Taylor is kinda feral - like she's just this emoji: (ง'̀-'́)ง. Due to her Australian Heritage it’s kinda a given that she has an Aussie accent, and has a bad habit of slipping colourful language into normal conversations. This is also the result of 'hanging out with Jotaro Kujo too much'. Seriously like they might be two peas in a pod but goodness gracious it's a very chaotic duo and honestly it’s best not to make them both mad-

Okay so Joot and Tay’s friendship is like - kinda on the level of platonic squad goals. and yes they are a little feral, they do care about each other and are willing to help each other out if need be.

Since Taylor is a self insert, that means she has Narcolepsy (with Cataplexy, cause you might as well make some representation for yourself), and with Narcolepsy comes days and moments when she’s REALLY tired and doesn’t have the right mental state to carry out certain jobs and stuff. This is ever more obvious at school, as Jotaro recognises the signs in which Taylor is really tired, and will act appropriately to ensure that she’s okay. He mostly reminds her to take her medication and but there are times in which he will ask about if she needs to go to the med bay for a nap or something. Basically looking out for her and her wellbeing basically, because Taylor is a little forgetful and sometimes a little stubborn to the point when Jotaro has to drag her to the Med Bay to take a nap. Also like just having Jotaro around is really handy because his intimidating presence is enough to scare away bad actors and characters who could probably do harm to Taylor.

On Taylor’s end, she does sometimes keep Jotaro inline, but if there’s a situation in which Jotaro’s actions make sense (like not paying when a restaurant’s food is terrible), then she doesn’t bother to intervene and instead sits on the sidelines like a spectator. Like it’s not her business and she usually ends up agreeing with Jotaro’s side. She doesn’t really get involved in these situations unless something gets under her nerves. Oh and Taylor is really helpful when it comes to shooing away the fangirls. Now I want to stress that she doesn’t hate them. The last thing Taylor wants to do is antagonize other young women (girl hate is not okay), instead she always makes sure to be polite about it but always tells them that Jotaro is a human being with feelings and that they should probably try to get to know the real Jotaro before making assumptions. It sometimes works?? but not always, but Joot doesn’t mind the fact that Taylor actually tries to get them off his back without having to be mean and cruel about it

Basically Joot and Tay look out for each other no matter what not just because they trust and respect each other, but because their friendship is mutually beneficial to each other.

I still haven't really gotten round to a solid motive for her joining in the search for DIO, but I'm kinda leaning towards an AU of 'Taylor's family has been indebted the Joestar Line and that it's time to help them in return' or 'Taylor is worried for Jotaro's wellbeing because it's literally a race against time to save his mother’. That is something I need to play with a little more though.

ALRIGHT LET'S TALK ABOUT TAYLOR'S STAND TOKYO ROSE.

So the thing is that I'm still working on TOKYO ROSE's design, and the thing is that it's still a work in development. However, I usually describe TOKYO ROSE as a draconic like stand with rough dark blue coloured scales. It's bipedal, standing on two legs like a Wyvern and has a long tail that whips from behind. Unlike usual western interpretations of a Dragon, TOKYO ROSE has no wings, rather it has arms that end in what can be described as another dragon head (for both arms). The head in the middle is more pronounced than the ones on it’s arms, especially with the large horns on it’s head. Spikes trail down the spine of the dragon-hydra going down all the way to the tail. Each head has piercing red eyes, and the jaws are jagged like teeth - that when opened have almost shark like rows upon rows of teeth.

(Think of TOKYO ROSE as like Drogon but without wings, and has two extra heads at the end of their arms.)

I mentioned some of the inspirations for TOKYO ROSE here. I also go into slightly more in-depth of TOKYO ROSE's capabilities besides here, but I’ll just briefly talk about what it can do.

Essentially, the main two powers of TOKYO ROSE is that it can ‘breathe’ powerful long ranged energy blasts from it’s mouths. It can turn these energy blasts into elemental energy blasts as well. It’s main attack though is Arctic Cannon, which is a strong blast of energy of ice. This is the main attack because the atmosphere is full of water droplets in the air which ate drained from the surroundings into the jaws of TOKYO ROSE - that then create this powerful blast of pure unadulterated cold energy which can also freeze things too. (Basically an Ice Type version of Hyper Beam)

It’s other ability it has is regeneration. It can heal it’s limbs, wounds, etc. which in turn also heal Taylor’s wounds too. Also-

If a head is cut off (which will affect Taylor), it will regenerate, healing itself and Taylor. Because much like a Hydra, you cut off one head - two grow back. Cutting off TOKYO ROSE’s middle head will only make one of the existing heads take its place - therefore saving Taylor’s own head.

is Taylor immortal? idk that’s up to interpretation for people tbh

From a strategic standpoint, TOKYO ROSE operates as a long ranged special attacking stand that focuses on taking out enemies with absolute power and accurate precision. Think of it as the Sniper, if you will.

Despite the power, TOKYO ROSE is a glass cannon. It’s got abysmal defenses and it can be taken out in a few hits (especially if it’s a close ranged Stand that has a lot of physical power or needs to make physical contact in order to attack). It’s biggest weakness is that anything sharp be it spikes, swords, knives, anything sharp - can do a lot of harm to TOKYO ROSE. The only way to take down a Dragon is to cut off it’s head / to slay it entirely.

I think it should also go without mentioning that TOKYO ROSE is heavily based off the MonsterVerse version of King Ghidorah, in that each head has it’s own personality and way of thinking.

The Right Head; nicknamed ‘ze’ is the most calm and collected of the trio. It has an awareness of its own surroundings and displays the ability to form strategies - even communicating that with its Stand User.

The Middle Head; nicknamed ‘xe’ is the leader, the one that keeps the other heads on track when they’re in a fight. He acts out the orders that are given out by its Stand User. It is also the most aggressive in a fight.

The Left Head; nicknamed ‘ve’ is the curious and more playful one - although it’s playfulness can easily turn into aggression.

Also one of my favourite things about TOKYO ROSE is that it’s the type of stand that really works well with other stands too, especially if they happen to use an elemental power. For example TOKYO ROSE can borrow the flames of Magician’s Red to use in it’s own attacks, and can actually go along with a tag-team like strategy too! It leaves a lot of potential combinations for Taylor to work with - and the added use of teamwork can really make a difference in a life or death situation.

And.... that’s kinda it?? wow that took me almost forever to write because the moment I saw this in my inbox I HAD TO ANSWER IT- but i cannot thank you enough for sending this in because I have so many thoughts and ideas about Taylor - that I’ve only just scraped the surface! but thank you Kola for letting me gush about my s/i because I’ve put so much love and thought into her as a character and it would be a crime if I didn’t share it with anyone because I take a lot of care and pride in creating her!

:0 hey!!! By Frank Morrison!!! Do u mean dbd frank??? If so, I'm curious about it!! I know hes a really cool character but what personally drew you to him?? :3

hi ! yeah i do!! What kinda drew me to him is more on a personal level mostly coping w someone i knew in the past that was pretty similar to him.. i also just really like his complexity as a character not a lot of people seem to notice! plus i just like cool punkish characters :) idk but i can go on and on about frank since he’s gotten me through a lot these past 2 years and whatnot but i’m self conscious talking abt my interests and what not <:3c it’s also like. fun to rewrite him a different path of life before the entity like, what could have happened if he had a healthier way to cope from what he endured in the foster care system or his biological family.. idk! i just think he’s neat! :) i want to give him a better life so he can learn to become a better person!

🌙🌙 hi hello i would like to ask abt any thoughts of the pyra/sapphire wedding (or anything relating to it, like postgame ideas) and also catarina/hapi reunion after the timeskip !!! or anything just regarding to the two ships is amazing i love hearing abt them ♥️

Clara, my dear friend, my fellow denizen of Xeno hell's 2 and TTGC divisions, I got half a sentence into this ask as soon as I got home from work and it broke me. I proceeded to remain flustered for the entire rest of the day. You did this to me /lh

(source: this post by nougatships)

Give me a 🌙 in my inbox and I’ll give you a random headcanon about my selfship, F/O, or self-insert. - Right, okay, let's give you what you're asking for.

For the first moon..

As you mention, Pyra and Sapphire do indeed canonically get married. I was going to say that this is actually the only one of my romantic selfships where I have actually established this, but that's actually not the case - Skye and Emily also get married as part of the story too. Pyra is the one who proposes to Sapphire, using one of her earrings in lieu of an actual ring, under the aurorae on the last night the party spends in the Leftherian Archipelago (so, near the start of Chapter 5).

However, due to the fairly high stakes of the current objective, i.e. stopping Malos and Torna, we don't actually get married until after the game ends, by which time both of us have also successfully obtained the blessing of the other's father (which is not as easy as it sounds when Pyra's father is the Architect, literal half-omnipotent creator of Alrest and sole surviving remnant of his universe left in it. Yes, this means Sapphire took the time to stay behind and ask him if it was okay for her to marry Pyra right before rushing off to the final boss fight).

Although I don't have much set in stone for the actual wedding itself, I think I still like the idea of it taking place in the Olethro Playhouse. You can see the World Tree (where Pyra is from), but are in Uraya (where Sapphire grew up). It’s also a very grand place, even if Malos did destroy half of it, and it has some significance to the Aegis Blades in general because it’s where Addam first awakened Mythra.

Haze officiates, because a combination of Sapphire’s ether crystallisation ability restoring her Core Crystal and Nia’s cell regeneration powers (which can resurrect people, as Chapter 6 shows) allow her to be revived as a special separate entity from any Driver in my version of events.

For the second moon..

I’m actually not 100% sure if my (or rather, Catarina's) reunion with Hapi post-timeskip still takes place anymore, because of how I have now established that Catarina spends her time bringing supplies to Abyss (where Hapi stays) over the course of the timeskip. So, technically, we wouldn’t need to reunite if both of us had been allowed to join Byleth’s house.

However, although Catarina is one of the Ashen Wolves and this would normally mean she does not ever appear as an enemy after the timeskip, I was considering having her appear as part of forces loyal to the Kingdom if she was not recruited into Byleth’s house, since her family on her mother’s side is from Faerghus and her older sister lives there (she would appear too, specifically as a Falcon Knight). Therefore, there is potential for her to be fought as an enemy at some point; I’m envisioning it as if you kill her sister then Catarina will be enraged and fight to the death herself, but if you defeat Catarina first then she will retreat instead (possibly being recruitable on Verdant Wind, like Lysithea is on Crimson Flower) and her sister will also retreat, so that you can still do Catarina’s Paralogue.

A reunion on the battlefield between Hapi and Catarina would thankfully not be as angsty as it could have potentially been, since Hapi is very averse to fighting to the death as shown by her voicelines while Catarina is not particularly especially loyal to the Kingdom as a whole, instead more being in it for her family’s sake. So, if she was offered the chance of joining Byleth’s forces, she would definitely take it for her own safety, and Hapi would of course be very relieved by this.

That’s about all I’ve got for the moment.

I hope that these answers were alright!! Sorry for the wait on finishing writing them, friend.

💤💫 for your polyship uwu

Polyamorous Self Ship Ask Game

💤 — If your polyamship share a bed, who do you all sleep? Who takes up the most space (intentionally or unintentionally)? Who steals the blankets? Who doesn't even sleep on the bed and instead the floor?

I sleep in the middle, and Ryuu and Q sleep either side of me. Q takes up the most room, but usually he ends up dangling his legs out of the side. And Ryuu, despite being an upstanding defence attorney, is quite the blanket thief.

💫 — Who's the ones in your polyamship most likely to wrestle each other while the moment the others are looking away?

I imagine Q’s more likely to be the teasing kind who’s likely to try and goade one of us into wrestling when the other one is looking away. It never really goes beyond anything playful though.

Halloween Party Mini Event

Hey everyone! As mentioned before, I will be attending the Halloween Costume Party Mini event hosted at @selfshipeventhall​ and run by @nougatships with my dearest beloved Philip Hamilton (the Hamilton musical version, not the RL version), our lovely daughter Edelgard (Fire Emblem Three Houses), and Kirby (Kirby and Super Smash Bros.) as my guests.

Feel free to ask us anything or stop by and chat with us. We’re looking forward to meeting everyone there.

[wolf-2099]

I know ive told you before but its funny because literally it's so common for my roommate virus-selfship and I to have a convo "I love felix" "oh whatd he do?" "He's being gay for Kabuto again" while we're scrolling our phones. You're known in our house as the man soft for mean meganes and I think that's special

i am NOT soft i am RUDE and these bastard meganes have had it too good for too long
