nrgburstI'm actually editing a history of Canadian citizenship right now for the Lost Canadians and surprise! There were lots of racist laws designed to disenfranchise our Indigenous people and Asian immigrants. The most annoying thing is that they still affect our laws today. Of course I'm still proud to be Canadian! I just think we need to make sure our laws reflect who we are as a society now, instead of say, a vehement racist like Mackenzie King. (Who is on our $50 bill. Which is red.) Which brings me to:
First year doing this!
This is one of my favorite colors and I've made lots of past fanworks with a red theme or totem:
Red String of Fate GIFset (Taki/Mitsuha, KNNW/Your Name)
Red String of Fate/Red Comet in Bound (meta) (Arya/Gendry, GoT)
ETA: OMG HOW COULD I FORGET THIS INCREDIBLE FANART?! (Arya/Gendry, Asoiaf with the Red String of fate)
I'm going to make a KNNW Red themed set later- this prompt came up in the evening for me so I don't have time to cap and GIF now. DONE HERE
The song Red by Taylor Swift is literally the first thing that pops into my head when you mention the color. She refers to it in Daylight on Lover too, and that specific lyric is the epigraph for 結び in Bound. ("I once believed love would be burning red. But it's golden like daylight.") BUT of course I made a GIFset with the lyrics from Red:
Loving him was Red GIFset (Kol/Davina, The Originals)
And because I associate Red with Vadar specifically here is my Kolvina set with Anidala quote after Kol killed Davina. FUN TIMES WITH OTP PARALLELS GUYS
Speaking of Vadar, who views the world in red:
Deal with the Devil GIFset (Anakin to Vadar, Palpatine, Star Wars)

Not sure if I'm doing this right, but I'll make the KNNW GIFset later if this is supposed to be limited to new works. Just wanted to dip my toe in, so to speak!

TS's Red album might be my favourite of hers. 1989 is also great, but some of the songs on Red just hit different. :')
HRRK THE VADER GIFSET HURTS SO GOOD. *clenches fist* And ughhh the drabble, I loved it so much, thank you for reccing! ♥♥

I don't understand why Red was so underrated compared to her other albums! I LOVE it. That said, I love pretty much anything TS. :P I wish I could see her in concert!
I know, Vadar is so tragic because he brought it all on himself and he knows it. <3

Red is soooo nostalgic to me. I used to adore Bad Blood and I Knew You Were Trouble, but I don't think they've aged so well for me - I enjoy them now, but that's it. But All Too Well, The Lucky One, State of Grace (especially the acoustic version) — those still tug on my heartstrings. ♥ My favourite TS song still has to be Clean, though. Boy, did that song get me through some tough times. xD
UGH STOP I LOVE IT, he's so tragic and yes you're right it's utterly his own doing and very much brought by his own hand. The idea of this whispered-about child of destiny actually controlling his own life so utterly is at once satisfying and chilling. Ugh, I love anything to do with Vader. *happy sigh*
