“the producers changed the period to the 1930s. the premise now is that elizabeth is the daughter of wealthy socialite who falls in love with william, a smooth-talking gangster.” GUESS WHO FUKCING PUT TOGETHER A PLAYLIST FOR THE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS OF TWO NON-MAIN FICTIONAL CHARACTERS IN A FILM WE’LL NEVER SEE/READ ABOUT! GUESS! ME!!!!!!! also ksdkfhdskh i couldn’t find hq tracks from the 1930s so ummmm the music is anachronistic because UMMMM their love transcends time!!!! let’s go with that (listen)

ELIZABETH‘S POINT OF VIEW

+ superlove - charli xcx

you're whiskey-wasted and beautiful

dancing through the fire

you're such a vision to see

s.o.s.! this is real and this is dangerous

+ whistle - blackpink*

english translation

+ honey, honey - abba**

honey, honey, how you thrill me honey, honey, nearly killed me you look like a movie star but i know just who you are

+ kisses down low - kelly rowland***

;)

+ once more to see you - mitski

in the rearview mirror i saw the setting sun on your neck but with everybody watching... our every move we do have reputations

+ over the love - florence and the machine

now there's green light in my eyes and my lover on my mind and i sing from the piano tear my yellow dress and

WILLIAM’S POINT OF VIEW

+ nearly witches (ever since we met...) - panic! at the disco

i only shoot up with your perfume

ever since we met, i’ve got

just one regret to live through:

and that one regret is you

+ electric love - børns

every night my mind is running around her then it's getting louder and louder and louder baby, you're like lightning in a bottle i can't let you go now that i got it

+ nobody love - tori kelly****

 i should be more cynical and tell myself it’s not okay (to feel this good when i’m with you) i try my best to fight it, say “i hate you” but i always stay ‘cause ain’t nobody love like you do

+ i told you i was mean (cover) - brooke bruce*****

i'll always be a bad, bad seed and you know you still bother because love is for the poor so i left you knocking outside my front door

+ true colours - studio killers

we’ll light up the darkness show me your true colours i'll embrace all the monsters in your closet

+ my heart’s always yours - arkells

all of my life, i'm never on time i keep waking up thinking, “goodbye, goodbye” now, if time is what it takes: i'll be here, it’s yours; my heart’s always yours

notes!

* it’s catchy and felicitous. i don’t necessarily headcanon elizabeth/cassandra as korean!

** i fuckign love abba sdghsfdkghdfg LET ME LIVE!!!! again, felicitous

*** a substantial portion of the songs here r angsty so have this fun sexy happy one

**** I DO NOT SUPPORT toxic, abusive relationships! “i hate you” as in william’s from-the-lower-socioeconomic-class has an aversion from everyone born rich in general or “proper-rich” folk, he h8s them, but he doesn’t verbally abuse elizabeth fuck no

***** AGAIN, i’ll die before i romanticize a toxic, abusive relationship! his “meanness” is merely the lack of refinement that tends to accompany growing up not-rich. GOD i know william x elizabeth takes minor character-ing to a whole new level but this is a very complex relationship in my mind i’ve got it deeply thought out i’m GON E! (IN MY DEFENSE pls replay the freshman book 2 there is CANON BASIS for all this e.g. elizabeth: “you see me and see everything u hate!” and william’s like “ya and everythin i love too lol”) a concise version: william fell into a life of crime because the “upper classes” oppressed him and his poverty-stricken family. i love william so much i’m going to cry he’s such a complex beautiful tragic character fuck my ass!!!!!!!! elizabeth is a wealthy socialite’s daughter; her family’s asian but hollywood pretends that in the 1930s racism against asians wasn’t a thing anymore bc does hollywood enjoy talking abt racism? lol no, but not really? also? elizabeth my darling is also very clearly oppressed in-universe and out-.  i love them i...... my oppressed honeys,,, they love each other so much #iconic !
