Fanmix [Avengers]: Red on My Ledger (Black Widow/Hawkeye)

[sleepingwgods]

This is the first in a series of Avengers mixes I'll be posting this week, inspired by quotes and the tremendous character storylines of the film. This one is also a contender in Round 3 over at waywardmixes.

oh my, this gave me the giddies when it popped up on my f-list via waywardmixes! love this ship, and that art especially is GORGEOUS. <3333

[sleepingwgods]

Thanks so much! :D

[sleepingwgods]

:D Thank you, glad you like it. I love how it was sort of a universally accepted pairing before the movie was even a thing, and then the movie made it canon. Their intimacy is beyond adorable.

Also, love your Kashii Yu icon xD

I know legit zero about the Avengers (besides that I really really can't wait to see the film and gingerhaze's artwork on tumblr is making me a huge fan of these two) so figure that into the following comment:

This art is AMAZING, holy shit. So epic. AND THE QUOTES YOU CHOSE. I am already a huge fan of this character and, like I said, I know nothing except these quotes, her brief role in IM2 and ScarJo's insistence that "there's no time for romance, we have shit to avenge" so A+. As for the mix itself you've got amazing choices, keeping to a genre (which I looooove in a fanmix). That MCR song is perfection for this. Well done!!

Aww, gingerhaze. I love how famous she's getting, she's so talented and hilarious. :D I'm sure you'll love the film, it's the best thing since Thor (which is perhaps hands down the best movie ever made xD). So many incredible storylines and individual character development, you'd never think a 2-hour film could be all of that. Do tell me what you think when you see it :D

OH MY GOD THANK YOU :'))) This is the most heartwarming comment ever! I'm not much of a ScarJo fan but I loved loved loved her in this role, Black Widow's character is amazing. Glad you picked up on the genre consistency, with the possible exception of Coldplay and Florece everything else is pretty gritty and action-y, which I think suits these characters to a T. They're not the ballad types - love is for children, and they're all about kicking people's butts xD

Thank you thank you <3

I have not seen the movie yet (I'm seeing it tomorrow at a midnight showing) but I just want to say how excited I am to download this. Not only are the songs great but I love this ship so much. I actually almost considered doing a Clint/Natasha mix for this round and I'm glad I didn't because yours is so much better than I could have hoped to do. Such a great mix and the art is wonderful too.

[sleepingwgods]

Aww, I don't know about that! But thank you for saying it :')
I never thought I'd ship this so hard, but with their backstory it's hard not to. I'm super glad you like the mix, hope you enjoy it. And ENJOY THE MOVIE :'D

[hamarakissa]

I really love these two together and I love the songs you chose. NIN - We're In This Together is Perfection <3

[sleepingwgods]

From the first trailer I had the feeling this was a very Black Widow-esque song - it just reminds me of her more than any of the other characters. Now with the backstory my suspicions were confirmed xD

Glad you like the song choices :) Enjoy the mix!

[immortality]

The covers are gorgeous. *______* And I love the song choices. ♥

[sleepingwgods]

Thank you so much! ♥ (also wow, you have the coolest username!)

[immortality]

Ah, thank you so much! (It's actually a Saw reference, lol.)

[sleepingwgods]
