Yandere! Sweeney Todd Headcanons
[TW: I've never watched this movie, so sorry if it's OOC or something. I tried my best]
Always scared he's going to lose you
He is very obsessive and possessive of you
He has to know what you're doing, when you're doing it, where at, with who, why that guy? and so on and on
For a violent murder, he's very soft with you
He treats you like glass. He's scared he's going to break you
He does have his moments where he loses his temper [Usually when he's jealous]
While he's not violent towards you, he will be violent towards the person who was hitting on you and boy does it get bloody
He wants to be vulnerable with you, but he's scared
He's very loving with you. Holding you in his arms, singing to you softly, combing through your hair with his fingers, caressing your face
This man is filled with so much rage and if you ever try and get one over on him, you'll see his anger
He does not know how to properly and healthy grieve and you figure that out pretty fast. Death is something he doesn't show emotions towards, unless it's someone he loves
He thinks about locking you up, in fear of you leaving him or being taken away
He has a creepy melody he hums at night and it freaks the fuck out of you
He loves brushing your hair. It calms him down, especially when he's high-strung. He'll hum while he does it [That same creepy melody he hums at night] and you get scaringly still in fear he might grab the sharp razor on the dresser and slit your throat
You've seen the things he's done to people he hates, so you try and stay on his good side. You try and keep him happy, and it makes him sad when he realizes you're scared of him. Don't you know he'll never hurt you?
You don't ever say no to him
He hates what he sees when looking in your eyes. He can see his reflection and all the emotions in your soul. He doesn't want you to fear him, he wants you to love him
But maybe it's a good thing you're scared of him because it ensures, you'll never leave or cheat on him

🌟CASTING MY MUTUALS IN: SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET!🌟
Side note: I cast based on if the character reminds me of the moot, or if I can see the moot playing the character! If you get cast as a bad guy, of course I don't think of you that way! The reason I casted you is the second reason, I can just see you in that role! Cool? Cool! Now grab your razors, and let's get to cutting!
For those who paid attention to my blog, you all saw this first one coming 😅:
Finley as Sweeney Todd and Zeep (@ziipzeepzop-eez) as Mrs. Lovett
Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford as Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett in the picture. (2023 Broadway)
Reasons for...me!: Sweeney is an actual dream role of mine! Not to mention it'd be a blast to get to play a not nice guy for 2 hours >:)
Reasons for Zeep: I wholeheartedly believe Zee has the comedic chops to play Lovett, and would absolutely sell the serious moments as well. In Zee we trust 😌
Mari (@heylittlestellbird) as Johanna
Maria Bilbao as Johanna in the picture. (2023 Broadway)
Reasons for Stella: Johanna is associated with birds. Who's got "bird" in their username? Mari! I rest my case! XD /silly
Atlas (@literatureisdying) as Anthony Hope
Jordan Fisher as Anthony in the picture. (2023 Broadway)
Reasons for Atlas: Anthony's number one character trait is yearning for Johanna. Atlas' number one trait is yearning for Auden. Simple! /silly
Mikey (@mushroom-hoodie) as The Beggar Woman
Ruthie Ann Miles as The Beggar Woman in the picture. (2023 Broadway)
Reasons for Mikey: Admittedly at first I had casted you as the Beggar Woman, because one, I just couldn't turn down your offer to be included, and two, I was struggling to think of skmeone else to cast you as but the more I thought about it the more I genuinely liked it! I think you'd do a really good job in this role! ^^
Frog (@ofthefrogs) as Tobias "Toby" Ragg
Joe Locke as Toby in the picture. (2023 Broadway)
Reasons for Froggy: I mean....just look at you and then look at Toby and tell me you don't look alike.
But also! Toby is a sweetheart! Froggy is also a sweetheart! I rest my case.
Ender (@ender-outlaw) as Adolfo Pirelli
Nicholas Christopher as Pirelli in the picture. (2023 Broadway)
Reasons for Ender: While you and Pirelli really couldn't be any more different, you're already a very charming person (Pirelli is in fact not that XD) and I think you'd have a great time playing him! Also, this is Tumblr! Who gives a hoot about gender? We can have a female Pirelli if we want!! >:D
Greaseball (@gb-diesellok) as Judge Turpin
Jamie Jackson as Turpin in the picture. (2023 Broadway)
Reasons for Greaseball: Just like Ender and Pirelli, you and Turpin really couldn't be any more different XD but your voice definitely fits comfortably into all of Turpin's vocal parts! ^^
Rook (@rook-specter) as Beadle Bamford
John Rapson as Bamford in the picture. (2023 Broadway)
Reasons for Crepuscule: Just like Ender and Pirelli AND Geebs and Turpin, you and Bamford aren't very much alike either! Who woulda guessed? XD
But I think your portrayal would be absolutely delightful and very funny (very much like his portrayal in the 2023 Broadway revival funnily enough)
And last, but most certainly not least..
What's a musical without it's Ensemble? :D
From left to right, we have:
@sandsmand, Troy (@the-fag-with-the-swag), Ash (@ripash), Wolf (@electricfied-wolf), Razzle (@whistlingstarlight), Ash (@idk-what-to-make-user), Charlie (@gently-decaying-flowers), Cal (@treasure-goblin), Amor (@nuncscioquidsitamor-14), Gabi (@splendidred05), Finn (@lordcatwich), & Eli (@theelispace)!

from the album Christopher Lee sings Devils, Rogues & other Villains: from Broadway to Bayreuth and beyond (1996)
Christopher Lee - Epiphany from Sweeney Todd
I had him!
His throat was there beneath my hand.
No, I had him!
His throat was there and now he'll never come again.
When? Why did I wait?
You told me to wait —
Now he'll never come again.
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long…
They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one staying put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.
No, we all deserve to die
Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I.
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us death will be a relief
We all deserve to die.
And I'll never see Johanna
No I'll never hug my girl to me — finished!
Alright! You sir, how about a shave?
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney.
You sir, too sir? Welcome to the grave.
I will have vengeance.
I will have salvation.
Who sir, you sir?
No ones in the chair, Come on! Come on!
Sweeney's. waiting. I want you bleeders.
You sir! Anybody!
Gentlemen now don't be shy!
Not one man, no, nor ten men.
Nor a hundred can assuage me.
I will have you!
And I will get him back even as he gloats
In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats.
And my Lucy lies in ashes
And I'll never see my girl again.
But the work waits!
I'm alive at last!
And I'm full of joy!
