my challengers playlist 🎉🥰🤭😈😖🫦🎾 (+aki menzies (fictional character from gossip girl reboot who was, crucially, in a throuple) letterboxd review that made me scream out loud. for size)

song names + reasoning + lyrics ⬇️

I picked a lot of big poppy sound and emotional height, both bc that feels very period appropriate and because it's a movie full of very big drama emotions. yay. many of these are also more broadly applicable to the whole story than specified but I just like to call out what I noticed. enjoy 👍

Rill Rill by Sleigh Bells - tone setting. teasing awkward first encounters. and this perfect line: we're just the weathermen, you make the wind blow.

II MOST WANTED by Beyoncé & Miley Cyrus - patrickart ride or die it's you and me bro. I'll be your shotgun rider any time you like. 

Music to Watch Boys to by Lana Del Rey - narration is for tashi but the refrain is all art and patrick back to her: I like you a lot/so I'll do what you want 

Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional - first night. period appropriate cheeky sweet big powerful emotions. my hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me! so why don't you kill me! so I die happy! 

On Top by the Killers - college era power struggles. 

Bang the Doldrums by Fall Out Boy - bitter angry patrickart breakup that we don't get to see. i cast a spell over the west to make you think of me the same way I think of you/this is a love song in my own way. 

Out on the Town by fun. - sad lonely Patrick throwing rocks at hotel windows! now I'm causing a scene, thinking you need a reason to smile. oh no, what have I done? there's no one to keep me warm. 

Mastermind by Taylor Swift - this one is for everyone because they all think they're working the situation perfectly at different points. bridge is my huge tashi headcanon we don't get any support for: no one wanted to play with me as a little kid so I've been scheming like a criminal ever since to make them love me and make it seem effortless.

I Want You by Mitski - tashi song! here is a chance to ruin your life or save it, what will you do? control girl anthem. I could put every lyric here but most of all: I want you, I hold one card, that I can't use, but I want you. 

bonus track that didn't fit in the screenshot: I wanna be yours arctic monkeys. because. well. I'd let her fuck me with a tennis racket
