chloe

Starting off strong with my FAV couple of all time

- Carlonty: reputation & The Life of a Showgirl

I feel like it is a must to add both, mainly bc I've always thought reputation is Carla's album and TLOAS is Monty's album. They're cunty, they're energetic, they're witty, they're smart reinvention strategies and, most importantly, they're love letters disguised under insurmountable amounts of swag. I also think TLOAS is a tiny bit cringey and against all odds I ADORE that and think it suits Monty so so well.

- Lilget: Fearless

Miss Swift wrote Love Story for lilget, I do NOT make the rules. I also think Come In With the Rain is so unbelievably lilget, as well as Hey, Stephen. The entire album also fits Lily's family dynamic with Billy so so well (The Best Day is one of my fav songs). The aesthetic is soooo lilget as well, not only cause it's yellow it's so princess-like and so country and so teenager and KAOSJWISJSJS I can't.

- Alistin: Speak Now

AND NOT ONLY CAUSE IT'S PURPLE. It's such a genius pop rock album and it gives Paramore in such an alistin way, probably because it was inspired by Paramore lmao. There's a song on the Taylor's Version, Electric Touch feat. Fall Out Boy and OH MY GOD. IT'S SO. ALICE AND AUSTIN. I CAN'T.

On another note, this album speaks to me cause I do think Austin would stop Alice's wedding LMAO

- Cindix: Red

They are so fucking toxic OFC they get the toxic color imagery album. I think it's so epic that I relate the song Red to Felix when Felix is the one constantly wearing blue LMAO. I also think I Bet You Think About Me is such a Cindy song, The Moment I Knew as well, and then— well, all the toxic love songs in this album which are A LOT. This album also has one of my fav songs ever which is State of Grace so do with that what you will

Curiously, I don't think All Too Well (one of the most emblematic songs in this album) really fits their dynamic. It's such an intimate song and so poetic and we all know neither of them are capable of such depth LMAO. But the rest is very them honestly

- Theonny: debut & Lover

Religious teenage country girl album AND grown-up religious girl pop album? That must be theonny coded.

Now seriously, don't know why but every time one song from debut album plays, I think of them. It must be the playful, hopeful lovey-dovey intense vibe. Tim McGraw and Our Song are the clearest examples I can think of. It's not my favorite album but I do like some of the songs and these two are constantly on my mind while I listen lol

And then Lover well uh... uhmmmmm ah.... Idk man take a wild guess LMAO (just give Daylight a listen)

- Felidd and YES AND Tidd: Midnights

Obviously these two HAD to go together. The midnights album is very important to me cause it was the first Taylor Swift release I was ever conscious of so it represented a big moment for me and my music taste and for that I consider it genuinely genius. Maroon is LITERALLY the Felix x Kid song, which is ALSO super funny considering it's another shade of red and Felix is always wearing blue (which is also the color of the album). ALSO, songs like Snow On The Beach, Midnight Rain, Would've Could've Should've etc. are literally what Kid's relationship w Felix would sound like.

Apart from that, there are other songs (Labyrinth, Question...?, Lavender Haze, Sweet Nothing) which are VERY Ted x Kid, so it only makes sense that both brothers have the same album with the same boy HAHAHA call me manic I DARE you

- Felidd AGAIN: TTPD

The Tortured Poets Department is MY album and I think it's such a murderous combo to have TTPD x Midnights for Felidd. They're soooo toxic and while the Midnights album is calmer, more introspective and hazier, TTPD is CRUDE and honestly pretty emotionally ruthless, which fits their dynamic (and ANY dynamic with Felix in general) amazingly.

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived as a song and as a concept is also one of the reasons I decided to include this bit because you cannot tell me Felix is not the Smallest Man who's ever lived™.

- Lilget: don't know why it's taken me so long to say this but "drop dead" by Olivia Rodrigo is so incredibly lilget it almost makes me mad. I also think "yellow" by Coldplay is extremely them AND "be my baby" by The Ronettes idk it's just so lilget

60's love songs are so lilget in general imo

- Billy: I feel like I've said this before so many times but Billy is soooo Sabrina Carpenter like he definitely jams to House Tour every single day of his life I will NOT get tired of saying this. Also feel like he would love Diamonds are Forever, Looking at Me and just the entirety of Singular Act I and Singular Act II. His favorite is defo Man's Best Friend tho

- Carlonty: I have a holy trinity for carlonty and that holy trinity is "love on the brain" by Rihanna, "imgonnagetyouback" by Taylor Swift and "bad romance" by the queen Lady Gaga. Those three songs are like the THESIS of their relationship, the absolute GIST of the matter and you can fucking PUSH me off the fucking horse because I am NOT getting down on my own. Alongside these I have "haunted" by Beyoncé which is THE ultimate cherry on top of the holy trinity

(I just remembered that I forgot to add Gorgeous by Taylor Swift to the playlist which is funny bc it's such a cute song compared to these three AND it could go both ways LMAO)

- Lily: I listened to TTPD by TS the other day and Cassandra is literally Lily's song. Also Girl with One Eye by Florence + The Machine but I think I've said that one before, those two are her songs fr

- Alistin: Alistin is Muse, Muse is Alistin. Hysteria, Space Dementia, Suppermassive Black Hole, Time is Running Out, Undisclosed Desires... most of these are also in my carlonty playlist but I think they're soooo alistin as well. Also The Weeknd has this lazy sexy vibe to his music that I think fits Alistin soooo well, I defo feel like "die for you" is a song they would have on their playlist. I feel like Alice also really likes Halsey and Lana del Rey

- Carla: she would die for Nelly Furtado and she would KILL BILL for Ariana Grande NO JOKE, dangerous woman and thank u, next are HER ALBUMS and Maneater is HER song. She's also terribly in love w Megan Thee Stallion and she knows the words to Hiss like she was born listening to that song

- Emmy: just Zara Larsson. Just— just Zara. Everything on her playlist is indie and then, pam. Zara Larsson. Fucking— dolphin meme. She lent one of her earbuds to Alice once and it was SUCH a jumpscare she almost killed the poor girl

- Felix: he listens to Raye like he's not the exact type of guy that woman is warning us about in her music like babe the call is coming from INSIDE the house. A GLASS house, if I may add.

- Ted: Ted is soooo yearning music. He's SOOO Conan gray and SOOO Fleetwood Mac it's ridiculous. I feel like One Direction also suits him in VERY DETERMINED situations with some songs

- Davey: "30 hours of alligator sounds in the wild" was his top listened song on YouTube music. That, and whatever Austin makes him listen to since he discovered he doesn't listen to ANYTHING apart from alligator sounds in the wild

- Kevin: the so-called "white girl music". That's what he is. Basically my playlist. Kevin and I have the same exact playlist. Kevin is my playlist. He is pop divas. Kevin IS pop.

- Kid: definitely the one running all the errands, buying the snacks and distributing the sandwiches, bringing everyone water and sunscreen, etc.

- Buggs: Carrier. Carries his bag, carries Cindy's bag, carries Felix's bag, carries all of the bags, carries some other bags for unknown purposes, carries the beach umbrella, carries the cooler, carries everything. Smokes pot next to the umbrella with an open shirt on, wet swim trunks and sunglasses like a mafioso on a beach day

- Lily: carries a metal detector (Penny) around and tries to find hidden coins in the sand. Alternatively brings a pair of googles and a snorkel and watches the fish swim around in the sea

- Billy: follows Lily and Penny around so they don't get hurt and cheers every time they find something of relative value, and when they find things with no value as well. Also carries a net around and tries to catch fish between the rocks, then falls and hurts himself. Defo gets stung by an unknown sea entity and has to get carried to the lifeguard urgently

- Nugget: digs a Beach Nugget Cave™ and spends the day in there perfecting the inside. Keeps an eye on Lily Billy and Penny to make sure they're alright. Asks random little kids for a password when they ask whether they can get inside the Beach Nugget Cave™. Depending on how philosophical the passwords they come up with are, he lets them in or not. Hangs out w them if they vibe w him

- Cindy: she has ONE target and that is to tan. Doesn't do ANYTHING apart from lie on the towel and get GRILLED under the sun. Ends up redder than Monty's hair and suffering for the following 5-7 business days

- Monty: Designated driver number 1. spends 45 minutes under the beach umbrella smothering his body in sunscreen. Can't be in the sun for longer than 20 minutes without getting cOoked. He spends the day next to Cindy, her in the sun and him in the shade, and they're barking at each other until the trip is over, and THEN they keep fighting in the car bc they somehow always end up in the same car out of the three they have to travel to and from the beach. More often than not interrupts himself to check on Carla when he hears a particularly loud slam and sighs in relief when he sees it's just another one of the kids she's made cry

- Carla: queen of beach volleyball, queen of beach soccer, queen of every sport you can think of that gets played at the beach, definitely gets like famous and all the kids want to go up against her and she goes easy on them at the beginning and then CRUSHES them. Also packs A LOT of food and Buggs curses the hell out of her bc he's the one having to carry the cooler around

Jerome: flirts with all the girls he finds within a 2-kilometer radius. Also flirts with their boyfriends if they get upset about it. Ends up having to hide in the bathroom bc half of the fucking beach wants his ass smoked. Somehow meets the lifeguard and starts flirting w them as well until they're on his side so his ass is partially safe. Devours everything in the fucking cooler to the point where it has to be hidden so he doesn't find it bc he's going to leave the whole group without food

Felix: Brings the family limousine. Also wants to tan, but never next to Cindy bc she's fighting with Monty all the fucking time, so he grabs a towel and lies down on it 25 feet from where they're camped at. Falls asleep and ends up looking like a shrimp and blaming Teddy for it bc "Teddy you should've woken me up"

Ted: absolutely knew Felix would fall asleep and voluntarily decided to let him burn in the sun as a silent revenge. Builds sandcastles like an architect and then also builds walls for them so the sea doesn't destroy them. Carla sends Kid over to smother him in sunscreen from time to time to make sure he doesn't cook himself like Felix and it actually works

Penny: is the metal detector and is adorably happy about it. Follows Lily around and buzzes when she feels something metallic under the sand, gets so giddy when it turns out to be a coin or something. Her and Alice have the cutest swimsuits. Eventually ends up helping Ted with his sandcastles and they build a literal fortress with humid sand

Ozzy: Madison makes him get in the water and he complains bc it's too cold. He defo wears one of these full body swimsuits that sticks to the skin and is sooo fucking uncomfortable but he actually likes the way it feels. Also walks around with white cheeks bc he has to smother his face in sunscreen unless he wants to look like a walking talking crusty strawberry. Spends most of the time under the beach umbrella just hearing Monty and Cindy endlessly go at each other. Maybe reads a book. Who knows. Who even really cares.

Madison: Designated driver number 2. teams up w carla to play volleyball for a few rounds, then realizes they're way too powerful together and decides to ditch and try to get Ozzy in the water. Desists after a few desperate tries, then suggests the people on the towels play a card game. Desists as well when Monty and Cindy try to bite each other's arms off after the first round

Ron: floats in the water like he's dead. Eventually stops when a random passerby gets scared and calls the lifeguard who does the whole "saving a drowning person" ordeal bc he gets a bit embarrassed having to explain he's not dead just vibing

Austin: he was throwing rocks at the sea trying to get them to bounce when he accidentally hit Ron and actually almost killed him. After that fiasco he starts picking up pretty seashells for Alice, but once he sees Alice is asleep, he leaves them next to her towel and somehow ends up teaming up with a random kid to try and defeat Carla. Gets BRUTALLY humiliated and is glad Alice can't see it. Oh, Alice woke up. She saw everything. He dies of embarrassment. Cue Monty laughing in the background

Alice: sleeps. Literally sleeps. My girl spends most of the day just sleeping under the beach umbrella. Doesn't even hear the fighting and the tears, she's literally rotting in the shade like a forgotten fruit. Eventually wakes up and watches the beach fleas jump around, then watches Carla humiliate Austin and a random kid at beach volleyball and chuckles. Also, she has THE cutest vintage swimsuit ever and all the girls within a 2-kilometer radius ask her where she got it. She's always extremely proud when she says she thrifted it

Emmy: starts cleaning the beach and doing volunteer work. She has a garbage bag, a pointy stick and a dream. Somehow clears the entire place and ends up getting a medal for her contribution to society. Alternatively, studies every single type of seaweed she finds and scolds everyone she sees throwing it around

Davey: he makes Linda hide under the water and swim as if she were a shark, then starts running around the beach yelling "SHARKKKK!" and all the little kids start crying hysterically and leaving the water until he's the last one standing, so he gets on Linda and crowns himself as the Beach Emperor. Gets a fine for disrupting the peace and makes Linda eat the paper in front of the cops. It's a miracle he doesn't end up in jail

Kevin: the ONLY relatively normal person there. Goes from the towel to the water, then back to the towel to dry, then back to the water so he doesn't burn his ass, doesn't disturb anyone, brings a chair and sits on it like a NORMAL FUCKING PERSON with his little e-book and reads a book while chaos ensues around him. Blocks out the noise, asks Alice how her nap was when she wakes up, laughs at Austin, basically just a suburban white mom on a trip to the beach with her rowdy children
