Songs I have memorized and sing in the shower for $1,000 Alex. Songs I can't decide if I like the live version better for $2,000...

The Ballad of Love and Hate
Song by The Avett Brothers
.
"...Love takes a taxi, a young man drives.
As soon as he sees her, hope fills his eyes.
But tears follow after, at the end of the ride,
'Cause he might never see her again..."

You're a dinosaur 🦕 baby in the museum of my broken hearted 💔 past.
I haven't done much in the way of deciphering Emily's social media posts lately, but this one's GIANT, so hold onto your hats (Puns intended)
Just as the show has been leaving us hints about Beth's return, so has Emily in her projects, music, and social media posts.
I've written about many of them over the years, this one is no different, and it's no coincidence...
Most of you will know about Emily's new merch beanie with the broken-hearted dinosaur 🦕
It's inspired by her song Avett Brothers. Here is a snippet of the relevant lyrics from the song.
The broken-hearted dinosaur 🦕 and the museum are without question links to Beth's return, so let's look at how...
In season 5, Daryl and Carol jump into a car to go find Beth.
That car eventually helps Daryl find her.
That car is also connected to the episode Consumed, in which Daryl and Carol (after being recently reunited in 501) find a clue to Beth's whereabouts and go searching for her.
And It's by that car they get the initial clue that helps them to find Beth (Daryl sees the car with the white cross)
I'm sure you all remember that Carol plays a pivotal role in getting that car to work by charging the battery.
That car from back in season 5 has a very specific symbol on the keyring 🦕
Without that dinosaur keyring and Carol charging the battery, Daryl would never have found Beth.
The upcoming Book of Carol seemingly has many repeating themes from around the era of Consumed.
We will see a Daryl/Carol reunion, like we saw in 501.
The two will again be separated from the rest of their family like they were in Consumed (thanks in large part to the dinosaur 🦕 and the clue they receive)
The character Isabelle (Beth proxy) will be returning in season 2.
And, we know the storyline will bring them to a museum - The Louvre.
The broken-hearted dinosaur 🦕 is symbolic of a lost ancient giant love that is long in the past, thought to be extinct.
What's kept in museums? The past... they hold pieces of history.
In this case, as Emily puts it, a dinosour, aka ancient love ❤️
Emily knows. She's always known...
The show has more recently given us links to Beth and museums as well.
We saw it hinted at in Daryl Dixon season 1, especially in the credits with the self-portrait of Marie Gabrielle-Carpet, who lived in a museum...the Louvre, with her love.
Isabelle was a very obvious Beth proxy in DD1, and this self-portrait of Marie in the opening credits is shown along with the name of the actess who plays Isabelle. Linking the Museum to Isabelle and by proxy to Beth.
Genet in DD1 also mentions working in a museum to Codron when she realises Codron has switched sides and betrayed her by not killing Isabelle (Beth) and Laurent and stopping them from getting to the Nest (a representation of the pyramid/Louvre)
Thorne in TOWL episode one, a repeat of Dawn and Genet in many ways, also mentions a museum to Rick.
She tell Rick that the girl they saved, lived in a museum. The dead overran the museum, but the girl was saved by hiding in a giant grasshopper. That girl lost her family and had no one.
The giant grasshopper symbolism is linked here to a museum - linking it to Beth (also grasshoppers are Greene).
In this story, the girl that lost her family survived inside the museum, inside the (green) grasshopper.
Just like the key ring dinosaur in season 5. The dinosaur 🦕 museum in The Book of Carol could very well lead to a clue about Beth and a long lost love ❤️.
Now, If you read my last post, i mention the many links to the biblical story of Moses that were seen in TOWL episode 2. Well the "Giant" and "Grasshopper" symbolism is another link to the story of Moses, when he is leading his people into the promised land.
The verse they are pulling from in the story Thorne tells is in Numbers 13.33
There we saw the giants and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
When Moses leads his people to the outskirts of the promised land, they send scouts ahead, to go into the land before entering it. The above verse is what the scouts report back.
They saw Giants in the land and they seemed liked grasshoppers because they were so small in comparison.
I've written before how the Nest (pyramid shaped) in Daryl Dixon season 1 and the Louvre are both representations of the promised land in the story of Moses.
I also wrote about a promotion for The book of Carol x that gave her the symbolism of Balaam's donkey. (another link to the promised land)
And now we have this "Giant", "Grasshopper" and Museum symbolism linked to a museum to add to it all.
Overall, these symbols represent repeating history, and history is a dinosaur museum...Emily gave us a "key" to unlock the symbolism.
The Wolf comes home through repeating the past and a clue to her return is linked to a dinosaur 🦕 and museums and love, so the book of Carol is going to be very interesting, especially as we know that wolf 🐺 = Louvre.
Could the dinosaurs 🦕 broken heart 💔 be mended ❤️ by going back in time...to a museum of the broken-hearted past?
With (the book of) Carol holding the key? 🔑 🦕
The beginning is the end
🦕💔🦕💔♾️ 💔🦕💔🦕

Shuffle your favourite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. Then copy/paste this ask to your favourite mutuals <3
Getting to this a bit late because some life stuff has happened recently.
From my JaySteph playlist: a random mix of songs that give vibes for either Jason Todd or Stephanie Brown, the both of them, the other Batfam members, or just inspire scenes or a mood for living life and/or fighting crime in Gotham.
All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
Such a Jason coded song, especially at the end with the lyric, "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" as I see it as Jason's fuck you to Bruce and the Robin plaque calling him a 'good soldier'.
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Just a fun song that I could see as a teaser for some big bad on the way at the end or beginning of a story. Also, I HC that Jason likes classic rock thanks to Alfred, Willis, or maybe even Roy.
Come Around - Rosi Golan
Definitely one of those songs that queues up in the background of some CW-style romantic scene between Jason and Steph, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. P.S. via the YT comments this was on 'One Tree Hill' back in the day, so my CW vibe was correct.
Broken Bones - Kaleo
Another Jason song that gives off a lone gunman vibe that I feel Jason has sometimes, especially after some shit has gone down and he's riding out of Gotham, alone again.
I'm So in Love with You - Jill Andrews (fet. Seth Avett)
If you've read any of my JaySteph stuff (or have just seen anything from me), you've likely figured out that I'm a softy and I like a slow burn, so yeah... more love songs.
