Yay :D!!

I am not surprised that you chose to ask 17+18 together since they kind of rhyme and I like that x'D

17. what song in your playlist sounds like this 💖❤️🥰🤩💘💕 but the lyrics are 🖤🩸⛓💣🗡🪨

I feel like there might be a lot of songs like that, but for some reason I cannot for the life of me remember any of them :'D So here's what I found by digging deep into my playlist(s)

Firstly I'll choose Gotta Do Something by flor. Admittedly it is not dark in a way I'd say fit with the emojis but more dark in an existential way if you are an unemployed person in your late 20s like I am :'D it honestly hit me right in the gut to the point of making me panic before I went on sickleave OVO

This one is Hate Me (Sometimes) by Stand Atlantic. It is from a very old playlist and it seems to have more of a 'dark' tone fitting with what I interpret the emijos to mean x'D Case in point here's a snippet of the lyrics x'D (sorry in advance that it is long :'D)

Oh, where did I go wrong? Limbs in a noose Thought I'd be better But I'm written off to tell you the truth

Dead in the water Carry me home Get off on whiplash I'm losing myself red and I'm blue

I set fires so deliberately 'Til I taste the smoke On every part of me My hands are promised to my dirty jeans But I would sell myself to almost anything

I don't need your help You should probably save yourself There's blood on my hands (You should probably save yourself)

(Also I am not sure how 'happy go lucky' the second song is but oh well x'D)

18. what song in your playlist sounds like this 🖤🩸⛓💣🗡🪨 but the lyrics are 💖❤️🥰🤩💘💕

I mean ... it has to be Käärijä doesn't it x'D Buuuut let me go with this one instead because I love the contrast:

I chose Arrow of Love by Electric Callboy since especially the 'Kevin screams' make it sound very aggressive but it is a song about trying your best to spread love :'D x'D

21. what’s the weirdest song title you can think of right now.

I mean ... one that exists or?

Gah I am not good at remembering things rn :'D

On a subconscious level, I guess I would say yes to that. Because what it really is is that the racist treatment of Iris is so deeply narratively entrenched that it extends to all of her relationships in different ways (which is why so many of us have complicated feelings about Iris and Joe’s father/daughter relationship). Furthermore, not only is Barry her most important relationship, in terms of story-telling, but she’s his most important relationship (and I don’t just mean personally, because obviously they are the most important people to each other, but I also mean from a story-telling perspective, i.e., which relationship is really the undercurrent of the ongoing story-line), certainly from season 3 onwards (and season 5 was Barry, Iris, and Nora). (One might make the argument that Joe was Barry’s most important relationship in the first two seasons, but I actually disagree with this, because Westallen drove the plot far more even then. Idk, alternatively maybe you can make an argument for Barry and Thawne in season 1 only, but that is an inherently negative relationship, fueling enmity between these two characters, which had negative effects, therefore, on Barry’s life and therefore the plot.) And because there’s such misogynoir deeply entrenched directed towards Iris, especially when the narrative devalues her livelihood, and because Iris is Barry’s more important relationship, this has ripple effects wherein the narrative punishes or guilts Barry for always putting Iris first. 

it always has made me so sad that the other winter soldiers were so under-utilized in civil war - they were such a cool concept!! i needed to explore them for myself :0

I still don't like this idea. The idea came because bird wanted to appease people, instead of sticking to his guns. Nor do I like the idea of just, having Fireheart and Graystripe grow diststant from one another, when Fireheart IMMEDAITELY wanted Graystripe by his side as deputy because he trusted him THAT much. I like the idea of involving Mille a bit more, but this? Just falls falt to me.

Its just... I want Bird to stick to his guns, and hopefully he'll see this, and take encourgement from it. But the entire reason he didn't want Silver/Gray in the first place was because he didn't stand on his feet in the first place... so now I'm in a Catch-22. I don't like this idea, but I also want him to stand on his own feet and he seems to really love this...

That’s fine! Not everyone is going to have the same headcanons. This is how I personally see a TPB version of Silverstream/Millie and Graystripe/Millie going. I don’t know how much Birdsong will actually use and they and anyone else are welcome to use as much or as little as they want to, but this is something that I wrote on my own.

I do want to point something out with the timeline and canon - the part in what I wrote that mentions Graystripe and Fireheart growing apart is because they grew apart in canon. Graystripe started ignoring Fireheart and neglecting his duties while Fireheart picked up his slack in canon because he was obsessed with Silverstream to the point that the two of them actually fight in the middle of the camp. What I did was give a platonic reason for Graystripe to spend enough time with Silverstream that he was still neglecting his duties and stressing Fireheart out. They still make up after he comes back to RiverClan. I think it happens earlier in canon but I personally feel like it flows better if its after Graystripe rejoins TC.

I should have wrote more about Fireheart in that post but I honestly forgot he existed a few times. From when Graystripe comes back until the Bonepile would also be the same as canon except Silverstream isn’t dead so I didn’t see a point in rehashing something that was the same. There’s been a few comments along the same lines of yours about things not adding up, so I clearly should have elaborated more and I’ll try to do that next time post an au.

I just wanted y’all to know this IS something I did think about! Firestar and Graystripe are still besties by the end! Just that period of time where Sandstorm basically replaces Graystripe has a LOT more going on now.
