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.
