NSR Halloween DLC ideas, just in time for Spooky Night!
The soundtrack for the Halloween DLC would feature instruments associated with the holiday being incorporated into the songs, such as pipe organ and theremin.
The Bosses
DJ Subatomic Supernova
DJSS is a scarecrow, wearing a straw hat, flannel shirt, and denim overalls (cut-off, of course!).
For the battlefield, the background of the Planetarium is a deep orange. The planets he uses to attack are replaced with pumpkins, and the asteroids are replaced by a swarm of crows.
Sayu
Sayu is a cute ghost girl. (I felt it would be fitting since she’s a floaty character.) She's slightly translucent and sports a ghostly wisp-like tail rather than her regular mermaid tail. Her colour palette features off-whites and faded pastels, making her look more etherial.
Sayu wears a tattered white Victorian/Lolita-style dress, lacy cuffs around her wrists and a little bow on her head.
For Phase 2, her dress becomes poofier and more elaborate as small ribbons resembling tentacles appear around her waist. Her trident is completely white.
Phase 3 has her go full-on ghost bride. Her dress has a huge multi-tiered skirt, her hair is adorned with a long veil, and her tentacle ribbons have grown to full length. Her deep-sea mode has her face turn glowing green with solid black eyes, making her resemble a spookfish, while her “tentacles” feature flickering lights similar to a bioluminescent jellyfish.
Her final form is basically your stereotypical bedsheet ghost shape with her legs sticking out the bottom.
Sayu’s team are dressed in dark wizard-like robes, and each of them are wearing masks like the ones worn by Lock, Shock, and Barrel from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
For the battlefield, the “landscape” is dotted with jack-o-lanterns, tombstones, and dead trees. The background is changed to a seafoam green color, with wispy little ghosts flying about.
Yinu and Mother
Yinu is dressed as a cute little witch. Her hair is in pigtails similar to her Christmas skin, and her witch hat is adorned with fall leaves and little jack-o-lanterns.
Mother, meanwhile, is a spooky Halloween tree with spiders. Her dress is a dark wood colour with translucent, ragged-edged sleeves, and she wears a thorny hairband and spiderweb earrings.
The ends of her “hair” have been dyed the same colour as her dress, and she wears both black lipstick and black nail polish.
When she grows bigger, her branches begin to sprout large thorns, which end up making her cage form look more like a spiderweb. (There are even little fake spiders sitting on top of it!)
For the battlefield, the stage is decorated to evoke a bountiful harvest, with pumpkins, hay bales, bundles of wheat, stalks of corn, apple trees, cornucopias, and garlands of leaves.
Both the gate and the giant piano hammers are adorned with thorny branches and autumn leaves.
1010
1010 are pirate ghosts. (As a fun gag, Blue could wear two eyepatches instead of his sunglasses!)
Meanwhile, Neon J is their ghostly captain, complete with a captain’s hat, a sword at his belt, a fake parrot on his shoulder, and – once again – a fake beard attached to his screen head.
For the battlefield, the flying limousine is decked out to look like a pirate ship, with a mast, a crow’s nest, and a tattered sail.
(I felt 1010 as pirates would be fitting since they're a navy-themed boyband and Neon J was a captain in the navy.)
Eve
Eve is dressed as Medusa.
Her dark green dress has a scaly pattern, and she accessories with a lot of gold, including spiralling gold sandals and a golden diadem crown.
Her hair has been dyed, shaped, and styled to look like several little writhing serpents.
Her backpiece is composed of even more snakes in gold and teal which wrap around her upper torso and spread out behind her like a peacock’s tail.
Eve’s pupils even become snake-like starting at Phase 2!
For the battlefield, Eve’s gallery has been transformed into an Ancient Greek temple, but with a postmodern/vapourwave twist. Stylized Greco-Roman columns with snakes wrapped around them line the walls, and an ancient looking gold chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The left side would be eggplant purple while the right side would be cerulean blue.
If the player gets hit by the eye lasers from Eve’s giant statue, they’ll actually turn to stone and be frozen in place for a short time.
For Phase 2, on Mayday’s side, the snakes wrapped around the columns have grown larger and are now looming over Mayday, their faces twisted into angry snarls (representing Eve’s derisiveness and hostility towards May).
Meanwhile, Zuke’s side features floating fragments of ruined columns (representing how lost and incomplete Eve felt after Zuke left her).
Phase 3 is where it really starts to get trippy. Both rooms feature ruined columns and floating shards, along with giant brightly colored snakes slithering all over the background.
The shards in Zuke’s side reflect images of faces screaming in anguish, while the shards on Mayday’s side have limbs protruding from them- one shard has three legs protruding from them in reference to a trinacia. (Look up what a trinacia is to understand the reference!)
Tatiana
Tatiana is a vampire.
She wears black and red robes with bat wing-edged sleeves and a wide collar. Her earrings are coffin shaped, and she has small, pointed fangs that can be seen when she opens her mouth.
At the beginning of her battle, she starts throwing flaming bats.
For the battlefield, Tatiana's office/battle arena is made to feel like a vampire’s castle tower.
The whole room is lit with a deep red glow, and the tall windows that feature the NSR murals are topped with pointed arches, giving them a Gothic look.
You can even see some glass bottles filled with (ahem) red liquid on Tatiana’s desk.
Meanwhile, the Goolings' stage outside is decorated with jack-o-lanterns and hanging skeletons.
DK West
DK West is dressed as Frankenstein FrankenWest!
His look consists of neck bolts, stitch markings, and a dark ragged recolour of his original outfit.
His bull shadow puppet has matching neck bolts, which even emit shadowy electricity when it appears during the battle.
Bunk Bed Junction
Mayday
Mayday is dressed as an imp, wearing a bright red dress with black sleeves and waistcoat, black wings, red horns, and a red tail.
Her guitar is deep purple and splattered with glowing orange paint. It emits a wolf howl when she powers it up for the Showstopper.
Zuke
Zuke is a werewolf. Ragged clothes with fake fur poking out, extra fur attached to his forearms (don’t ask how got it on there), pointed ears, a bushy tail, pointed fangs, his nose has been painted. Pretty simple.
His drumsticks are splattered with glowing green paint and tipped with tiny light-up pumpkins.
The Other NPCs
Ellie has little bat wings attached to her back and wears a springy bat antenna headband.
And last but not least,
Kliff . . . is just wearing a pair of Groucho Marx glasses. Yup. That's it.
Let me know what you all think. I’d love to hear some feedback. Thanks for reading! Happy Halloween!
Hey, remember how i said i headcanoned troll 1010 to be half funk? Well i just had a thought…
Y’know how in 1010s boss fight, theyre really tall?
Aaaand y’know how the Funk Trolls use platform shoes in battle?
I think you all know where im going with this, thank you for your attention :)
*Rubs my hands together like a scheming cartoon villain* Some of this might break troll canon a little bit, so sorry.
*Mayday is obviously a Rock Troll.
*I know it would probably make more sense for Zuke to be a Rock Troll like Mayday, but his personality and design scream Funk Troll to me, so maybe he can be Funk Rock?
*DJSS is also a Funk Troll. They are canonically one of the smartest Troll Tribes, and also have science fiction themes, such as living in a huge ship that looks like a UFO.
*Sayu would of course be a Techno Troll. However, she would look really different from regular Techno Trolls, so maybe she could be half Pop?
*Yinu is a Classical Troll, while Mama is one of those huge muppet things that were introduced in Trolls Band Together.
*Neon J is a Techno Troll. Not just because of the EDM, but also because Techno Trolls are aquatic.
*Since Neon J was canonically a toymaker before the Kewan War, i have this idea that 1010 are troll-sized dolls that look like a cross between Techno and Funk Trolls. My main reason for this is because their genre is FUNKY House. Its also a little treat for NeonNova shippers, because as i said before, i think of DJSS as a Funk Troll. In my head, they mostly look like Funk Trolls, but they also have some Techno Troll features, like fish tails and webbed ears. Also, for some reason, i can see Rin, Purl-Hew, and Zimelu being bipeds while Eloni and Haym are quadrupeds?
*Eve is a Pop Troll because... Lady Gaga Art Pop i guess?
*I have no ideas for Tatiana. While it would make sense for her to be a Rock Troll, it would make her being Kul Fyra obvious, so i dunno what to do.
Bro...what if I-
YES!
But before that, the others, especially Zimelu and Eloni, wont even let you talk to him cause they’re afraid he might slip up and say something that makes him look more guilty.
Imagine if you will...
An NSR investigation game where you play as an investigator in Vinyl City (maybe an oc or even the Mystery Man?), and you investigate various cases.
I have some ideas, they probably ain't the best but...
1: Someone destroys multiple of Eves art pieces, including the bottle heart one she made with Zuke in the past.
2: A pair of criminals commit multiple crimes around Vinyl City, and Mayday and Zuke are the main suspects. While it cant be disproven just yet, its pretty clear these criminals are trying to frame B2J.
3: The middle and youngest 1010's, Zimelu and Haym, sneak out of Barraca Mansion one night (they snuck out to get presents for Neon J's birthday) and end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now they are the main suspects of a major theft.

I know this is days old but i just had the funniest idea:
Eloni confesses his love to someone by f-ing rick-rolling them
Because 1, funny meme song, it fits since hes supposed to be the funny/weird guy.
And 2, the song is a love song.
I think NSR should get a show. I think it would be unhinged.
Hell yes to all of this! Especially 1010 being idiots (cause theyre my faves), i can just imagine the sibling banter (which i stole from Eddsworld, cause i like Eddsworld):
Zimelu: She said haunted houses are stupid and that you guys are stupid!
Haym: I thought she said we were stupid?
(Zimelu slowly gets in Hayms face)
Zimelu: *whispering* IM GONNA PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE.
