Me and My Husband - Bramblestar and Squirrelflight PMV

Hey, it's my first PMV! This is a very important project for me, and although it's a little rough around the edges, I'm really proud of it.

So I've had this idea for a while, ever since I listened to Me and My Husband for the first time. I think it really fits Bramblestar and Squirrelflight's relationship well. The meaning I always interpreted in it is of an abusive relationship in which a sick/dying wife doesn't realize she's been emotionally abused her entire relationship and so has a romanticized view of it/depends all her self worth on the love of a husband who'll most likely replace her once she's gone.

The thing is, although most of the fandom has fully accepted the idea that Bramblestar is abusive, Squirrelflight and the canon doesn't think of it that way. But she still has those fears of being replaced once she dies, which is what I feel ties it into this song. On top of that, lines like "Me and My Husband, we are doing better" perfectly describe how I used to look at their relationship and how I'm sure many other people in the fandom did as well. I had this idea that although their relationship was rocky, those problems started and ended with the Power of Three drama, and that everything was perfect after Alderkit and Sparkkit were born. (Oh the naivete. 💀) And I don't think it's a stretch to think Squirrelflight believes something similar. There's some metaphorical stuff here and there like the cat bones, Starclan Squirrelflight, and Jessy being on the high rock. Those things aren't actually happening, they are just representations of Squirrelflight's fears. Bramblestar is terrible, but if Squirrelflight died he wouldn't literally laugh on the highrock right after. (The laughing itself isn't representative of him laughing at Squirrelflight but of him moving on easily enough to be chatting with somebody as if nothing has happened.)

I'll put a frame by frame summary of this PMV and what I intended in the comment section below, so thanks for watching and stay tuned for more content!
