Some bird symbolism
(Note: these are general, as birds have different meanings given to them by different cultures.)
Crows and ravens- Associated with Odin and wisdom in Norse mythology. Most often associated with night, death, and mourning. Seen as a bad omen (see crow/magpie rhyme)
Magpie- Playfulness, cunning, the trickster. A lone magpie is a bad omen (see crow/ magpie rhyme)
Pelican- Nurturing and self sacrifice
Geese- Traditional: Vigilance, protection, watchfulness. Modern: Chaos and assholery
Phoenix- Immortality, fire, the sun. The cycle of life, death, and rebirth
Pigeon- Traditional: Peace, prosperity. Modern: Uncleanliness, urban decay, the inner city
Albatross- Grace, good luck, the spirit of dead sailors (if only the Ancient Mariner knew before he took the shot)
Falcon- Speed, nobility, associated with the sun and seen as the protector of the pharaoh in ancient Egypt
Vulture- Death and decay. Western cultures perceive the vulture as evil. The Egyptians saw it as a protector, and many other cultures associate it with cleansing and holiness.
Eagle- Strength, nobility, patriotism. A two-headed eagle represents the ruler’s authority through both church and state
Swan- Grace, beauty, fidelity. Irish folklore sees the swan as the spirit of dead women and associated with the sea god Lir
Owl- Knowledge and wisdom to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Celtic Britain sees it as the outcast; hated by other birds and only able to fly at night. Otherwise associated with night, mystery, and death.

Pink Miku Moodboard!
With the transphobic asks she's been given lately, I decided to make this moodboard as tribute. She deserves to be herself. Trans rights, girl.

Personally, I think I would evolve into a Jolteon. Not just because they are my favorite eeveelution rn, but because their Pokedex entries describe their emotions as well. Plus, midnight zoomies are real and I feel them. Just me:
