For fun guys to celebrate 35 YEARS OF DPS :) NEIL PERRY AS THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (LET'S BE HONEST I HATE IT HERE IS PRETTY MUCH WRITTEN FOR HIM AND IS HIS THERAPY - BLASTS I CAN DO IT WITH A BROKEN HEART AND SINGS IT IN THE SHOWER)

TODD ANDERSON AS FOLKLORE (THE POETRY IS DEFINITELY FOR HIM - ALSO HE LOVES THE LAKES - EATS UP THE FOLKLORE LOVE TRIANGLE DRAMA - CASUALLY CRIES TO MIRRORBALL AND BEGS THE POETS TO KEEP HIM AWAY FROM SEVEN)

KNOX OVERSTREET as LOVER (HE CRIES OVER CHRIS WHEN CORNELIA STREET BEGINS TO PLAY - UTTERLY HOPELESS WHEN PAPER RINGS PLAYS - ALSO LEARNT TO PLAY DAYLIGHT ON GUITAR AND JOKES ABOUT GUITAR STRING SCARS NOW)

CHARLIE DALTON as 1989 (HE VIBES WITH THE POP - AND KARAOKE NIGHTS OF THE VAULT TRACKS WITH DRINKS - OUT OF THE WOODS IS HIS GO TO AND WELCOME TO NEW YORK IS HIS BI ANTHEM)

GERARD PITTS as FEARLESS (VAGUE - BUT HE LOVES THE VAULTS - IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TS ALBUM HE LISTENED TO - HE IS A SENTIMENTALIST SO HE WILL NOT LET IT GO - LOVES THE FAIRYTALE AMBIENCE - WHEN TV CAME OUT HE WAS SCREAMING FOR HOURS)

STEVEN MEEKS as SPEAK NOW (THE COMPLIMENTARY HALF TO PITTS - LIKES THE COUNTRY POP ELEMENTS BUT LOVES SINGING ENCHANTED RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON - ONE OF HIS EARLIEST LISTENS BUT IT HOLDS MORE VALUE - HE GENUINELY LIKES THE LYRICS ON IT)

GINNY DANBURRY as REPUTATION (YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT SHE DOESN'T WALK INTO DRAMA WHILE HUMMING TO DRESS OR GATAWAY CAR - STAYS AWAKE CAUSE GORGEOUS IS CHRIS CODED - KARMA AS DOUBLE ALBUM BELIEVER)

Charlie Dalton and Knox Overstreet - The Secret Swiftie - And the most obvious

He definitely listens to Taylor Swift on a daily basis - Prolly lives and breathes the 1989 era - Now as for the question of how he expresses that? He is either that really quiet one until Knox walks in on on him screaming But Daddy I love Him - He will not let him forget it

Knox is the MOST obvious TS fan amongst the poets - Loves Lover and has cried with Todd over The Manuscript and loml and YOYOK and Back to December and All too Well (10min) - Neil has not forgiven him for that one night when Todd came into their dorm, crying about how The Black Dog is Wolfstar coded (The Poets are so into ATYD and like the Marauders lore)

Knox Overstreet is drunk and cries over Chris while listening to Laufey

Being the hopeless romantic he grabs a bottle of something and puts Laufey on loop on Spotify and cries about Chris - Charlie and Cameron in the dorm have to either stuff their ears or actually go and manually shut of Spotify to stop him from crying. Knox proceeds to cry without Laufey and mumbles the lyrics to himself until he falls asleep

Todd Anderson lives for Hozier analysis - Loves The Oh Hellos and The Crane Wives

Todd Anderson is the biggest Hozier fan (DUH). He spent much of his free time sitting down and breaking apart Unreal/Unearth with his copy of the Inferno at his side. Neil and Todd go out to stargaze and they blast The Oh Hellos and The Crane Wives on shuffle and Sufjan Stevens

Meeks has destroyed everyone while playing Monopoly and Among Us

People underestimate him too much - well the joke it on them! He has made Cameron storm off and Todd huddle in a corner during Monopoly. Monopoly Monday is not exactly a thing - but when it is everyone rallies to pin him and Charlie together (who wins occasionally due to dumb luck)

He trolled everyone while playing Among Us and is the last to die.

Pitts collects vinyl records and/or CDs

He is definitely into The Smiths and The Beatles and Queen and he loves to collect records and CDs sometimes for aesthetics - But he is in charge of bringing the playlist to the party cause he is not going to overplay any artist (Knox overplayed love ballads and got together with Todd and cried over glasses of cheap wine). Has the most unpredictable music recommendations, but never disappoints.

Cameron vibes with period dramas

Cameron loves the good period dramas, and has read Austen, Tolstoy and E.M.Forester. Wants to be loved but isn't Knoxious desperate. He loves Downton Abbey and relates too much to Thomas and Mary for obvious reasons. Had a crush on Mr. Darcy at some point but now will not shut up about Alec Scudder from Maurice. Charlie had the brilliant idea of scaring him with a massive paper cut out of Colin Firth's Darcy. What ensued was a two hour manhunt for Charlie Dalton. Cameron still has the paper cut out and the poets have grown to appreciate its presence.

Neil loves Hamilton and Les Mis

That's it - he just does - Loves Lafayette and screams the lyrics of Helpless at any given time - Tried to fancast the poets as the cast - And tries to get everyone to sing One Day More (Knox is almost always Marius and is hella dramatic - Todd and Neil make up the Enjoltaire dynamic - Cameron likes Javert)

The Poets Love the Marauders

Charlie flexes the Sirius James energy but he's such a Regulus to Knox's James, who sees Chris as the literal Lily Evans (they are the folklore love triangle change my mind) . Neil and Todd (Wolfstar in a different font). Pitts and Meeks stan GRANT CHAPMAN and Cameron lives for the Black family line drama. They've all written fanfics or literal poetry about them.

Keating refuses to own a kindle

He loves physical copies of books too much - Cannot fathom the idea of owning a kindle

Charlie loves 80s coming of age films

It's his whole jazz - LOVES FERRIS BUELLER and can and will quote The Monologues in The Breakfast Club. Cried over Stand By Me, and has not recovered.

Neil and Pitts and Meeks love Fullmetal Alchemist

It was Christmas when they read volume 4 and none of them have physically recovered from it - IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW - Todd and Charlie had to make hot chocolate and listen to their ramblings and deal with Knox at the same time (who was crying over Chris yet again)

Chris and Ginny and Todd and Pitts and Charlie are in a band together

Knox wants frontline tickets, and Charlie has the time of his life selling the those tickets to literally everyone else. Todd doesn't sing and refuses to and is the lead songwriter - Ginny is the lead drummer and Pitts plays the keys. Chris is the lead singer and Charlie plays the sax and some random instruments on the side. Neil is the supportive boyfriend and Meeks buys them drinks after, and Knox drinks and pours his heart out to Todd.
