Chappell Roan and Casey McQuiston let’s go
Good Luck, Babe - Shara Wheeler!!! Shara heard this for the first time when it came out and dropped to her knees.
Naked In Manhattan - One Last Stop!! The most One Last Stop song to ever One Last Stop. Seriously. It’s SO them.
Casual - Alex after the lakehouse. I know you’re thinking “but the song is so Henry!! Two weeks and your mom invites me to her house in Long Beach!” but you’re wrong. Henry meant for it to be casual the whole time, and when it was clear than for Alex it wasn’t casual, he ran. It was never casual for Henry, sure, but Alex thought it was after he left the lakehouse. Also Jane when August kept insisting the kisses were purely “for research”.
Picture You - Somehow both Henry and August.
Pink Pony Club - IKSW cast after leaving False Beach in the future (specially Shara), also August through the book, with all the people she met (oh Santa Monica, you’ve been too good to me)
My Kink Is Karma - Chloe Green!
HOT TO GO! - I feel like this will fit The Pairing (no I haven’t read it, but I do have read reviews)
Red Wine Supernova - August!! I mean, “she was a playboy, she showed me things I didn’t know, she did it right there, out on the deck, put her canine teeth on the side of my neck” and “fell in love with the thought of you” is SO august.
Femininomenon - Nora, Shara, and Myla would know the whole song from memory and scream it during car rides.
California - Teen Jane after running away from home to be herself, finding herself missing her sisters and her parents.
Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl - June Claremont-Diaz the super graphic ultra modern girl that you are.
Kaleidoscope - Henry before the lakehouse, thinking than Alex would eventually get tired of him and it was all just casual fun.
Die Young - Somehow, Bea (before rehab)
Coffee - Kit perhaps. Again, haven’t read the pairing, but based on reviews (containing spoilers) then…
After Midnight - Our bisexual icon, Alex (while drunk)
Guilty Pleasure - August! Also Shara (guilty cause you know)
Love Me Anyway - Both Alex and Henry!!! “When I met you at summer camp, I would never give you the chance,” Alex hating Henry after meeting him at Rio, and Henry wanting to keep distance from Alex. “Turned you down at your high school dance” Alex insisting to keep things casual and Henry leaving the lakehouse.
Good Hurt - Baby Henry with Philip’s uni friend, who he knows is not the best choice, but he’s just lonely and grieving and needs someone, anyone.
Meantime - Perhaps Liam’s pov of his situationship with Alex during high school.
Sugar High - Rory about Smith.
Bad For You - idk (and no, it is not rwrb)
The Subway - DUH august during the month she thought Jane went back to the 70s. Also Alex after the lakehouse, but mostly August.
rest in peace, chappell roan, you would LOVE one last stop

Ok, I’m a bit embarrassed to ask this, but different continuities make it confusing and you’re kind of an authority on the topic of DC martians
What is their full power set? Considering variations and all (you can count the non-shapeshifting saturnians too, of course)
There's nothing embarrassing about that! So I'm not a powerscaler-type person (where keeping track of a Super's powers is their bread and butter), I'm more a "what narratively works for this Super"-type person. I believe that J'onn's powerset should always be the more "alien" counterpart to Superman's standard powers.
The most consistent powers for J'onn across adaptations and comics are telepathy (sometimes mind-wiping/forcing someone to forget) , shapeshifting (not just into other humanoid forms- into anything: he's been a dragon many times. This also includes matter absorption), flight, some manner of super-strength, phasing/going invincible, and some manner of regeneration. Sometimes he has heat vision, but in the DCAU he doesn't. The Watchtower did a fun video of all of DCAU!J'onn's powers here. With the exception of Young Justice, Martians don't typically have telekinesis (make things float with their mind). I believe early comics had J'onn use telekinesis, but that was dropped. He usually has, what I like to call, "bullshit telekinesis"- where it's basically super strength but "I'm using my brain to lift this heavy thing, trust me". I like martians having telekinesis! It matches with their telepathy and how they're mind-based creatures. I'd even have it replace super-strength. White martians have all these abilities too, they're just bigger, scarier, and meaner. As you've said, Saturnians/red martians can't shapeshift but a lot of the powers are the same.
This isn't a superpower but I have to mention that Martians are famously weak to fire, it's lethal even. This is a commonly misunderstood and joked about weakness ("well I, a human being, will burn to a crisp in fire too, you're not special martians"). It's not that they burn in contact with fire, it's that the very sight of a flame scrambles a martian brain. Humans can have dinner by candle-light or sit by a campfire, or enjoy a barbeque. J'onn on the other hand- would rather avoid that for his mental health (very literally). I think this is important to keep because it's a clever way to keep an otherwise very powerful hero in check.
That's your starting guide to martian powers! Depending on the writer they'll emphasize some powers over the other or remove/add powers, but that's the gist of it.
