don't mind me - just some rainy day musings bc sweeney todd 2023 has rotted my brain
someone's tags on a gifset got me thinking about 2023 revival lovett and todd and the special something their dynamic has. there's something about this particular iteration of these characters and their relationship, especially as we see it evolve throughout the show (even as we've seen it evolve throughout the show's run), that just makes mrs lovett's betrayal and her death at his hands hit hard. i know, i know - she deserves it. she lies! she's a lying liar. her deceit is no small thing. any one of us would be incensed to have been misled the way she misleads sweeney. even if a small part of her may have done it, as she says, to spare him having to see what became of his lucy, the larger part was certainly to serve her own interests.
but there's something about how close mrs lovett gets to bringing sweeney around to her this time that just gets me carried away. they're not just business partners - they're lovers, they're co-conspirators, and they're sort of each other's only friend in the world. at this point, he indulges her flights of fancy. they know each other intimately. they joke with each other! he's likely had to listen to countless hours of her prattling on about her thoughts, hopes, and wishes. this is a man who, at this point in the show, is slitting people's throats without remorse. and yet he spends the evening on the sofa cleaning his pipe while he patiently listens to his girlfriend rave about a seaside wedding. when she takes his hand, he doesn't wrench himself from her grasp like he used to. he doesn't get up and walk out, which he could do. he accepts her - her presence, her company, her warmth. he may struggle to admit it to himself, but he does. he can concede that he loves her - just a little bit, though he can't quite bring himself to say the words. sweeney is fiercely loyal to lucy's memory, so much so that he clearly couldn't ever wholly give his heart to someone else, but, in that moment after "by the sea", you can see that he's softened toward lovett. they were both alone a long time before this, after all.
it's not the stuff of great love songs, but it's something. it's almost enough.
this is what ultimately makes the final living moments between them all the more heartbreaking. mrs lovett has always been a sympathetic character to me - a villain, sure, but not without her reasons. she's a woman alone in a brutal world. whether the character is an older or a younger iteration, she's been alone for a desperately long time. when sweeney returns to her after all this time, she sees her moment and she takes it. she's not letting her second chance at life get away from her without a few claw marks.
when sweeney kills her, he sheds no tears over it - but the grudging fondness we'd seen him beginning to feel toward her only serves to emphasize how monstrous of a deception it is. his "you LIED to me" comes out in an anguished roar. when he throws her in that oven, all the light goes out from the world. it takes my breath away every time. though it should, it doesn’t quite feel like justice.
i know not everyone loves annaleigh's interpretation, but i have maintained from the first time i saw this revival that the warmth she brings, the honeyed, deluded, comical sweetness that lures sweeney into believing life with her could be tolerable, if not ideal, was a brilliant choice.
that's why the leap into hell together works for me. some productions have had sweeneys that barely tolerate their lovetts, so a cold diverging of paths makes sense. these two definitely fall into a different category. it makes sense to me for this sweeney and lovett's ultimate fate to be each other. who else would it be? lucy did nothing wrong - she's not going where he's going. having made lovett pay for her lies, they can head on down (hand in unlovable hand!!!!!!!) to live out the almost-enough life they created with each other. and sure, her chirping his ear off for eternity would certainly make an appropriate punishment for his crimes.

Believing in rom-communism is all about believing that everything is going to work out in the end... Now, it may not work out how you think it will, or how you hope it does, but, believe me, it will all work out.
#ted lasso spoilers#ted lasso#otp: you liven up the place#mine#m*ne: lasso#i like don't want to tag this with anything i'm having a thought exercise lmao#this is the tip of the iceberg for real i really do think it's their movie#and on an emotional level i'm devastated by this and on an intellectual level i'm just. fascinated#if we take the end as endgamey (though i'm partial to hannah canon ha)#within that endgame the universe gives her a consolation prize of a ted#and i don’t even think that’s my biased reading like his name means the same thing he also is from another country is also divorced also has#a child who evidently can be moved around more easily maybe cause she’s younger and amsterdam is closer#plus all the other similarities we’d talked about after amsterdam#and all the little moments that fatefully lead rebecca to this moment are moments with ted#ted walks away from her and she walks out the door to find this man again#it wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t need to say goodbye to her soulmate#with all of that idk it seems like they added this man not just as love interest but so that he'd be specifically#filling the void ted left in her life and in their romcom#to invoke sleepless in seattle like that when there is a very clear fated soulmate relationship at play#and then to give the ending to another character#like no shade to matthijs he's a fine man but#it just seems intentionally to say the hero of this story has to leave#so 'god's gift' is this substitute#is it the 'it just doesn't happen twice'?? is ted like the maggie of this situation???#is it 'the dream of someone else' which kinda seems like hannah's reading??#you can't always get what you want (the romcom ending the way you think it's going to) but you get what you need (them ending up with their#respective families and possibilities for the future)???#it's just that isn't it. just a completely heartbreaking realization of ted's romcommunsim speech#it's bananas and on purpose and i'm in pain

CONNOR MURPHY
i had to die for them to know i was even alive.
Tumblr media
NAME: connor allen murphy
AGE: 17
D.O.B: april 20, 1999
SEX: male
OCCUPATION: student
ORIENTATION: bisexual
FAMILY: born to larry and cynthia murphy (alive). only sibling is a younger sister, zoe murphy (alive). partners and children are verse dependent.
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: long brown hair. blue eyes with a spot of brown in the left one. typically wears all black. leather combat boots and chipped black nail polish. always wearing rings on his left middle finger and right pointer and pinkie fingers.
EDUCATION: one year at hanover preparatory school. the rest of his high school career was spent at the local public school. did not graduate, nor did he go to college.
RELIGION: agnostic
ALIGNMENT: chaotic neutral
ZODIAC: taurus
PERSONALITY:
so you could tell everyone that i’m the fucking freak, right?
sarcastic. sullen. temperamental. socially awkward. insecure. always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
HISTORY:
Connor was born to Larry and Cynthia Murphy on April 20, 1999. The baby was a surprise, but that didn’t stop the new parents from loving their son like they’d planned for him. When Connor was two, Zoe was born. The siblings got along like a house on fire and their parents would always joke that Connor would be the first one Zoe would call if she was in jail and vice versa. As they grew older, however, things changed.
No one really knows what happened to Connor. Larry chalked it up to him just being a teenager. Cynthia didn’t know what to think and so she just tried to ignore it. But it was undeniable. By the time they reached middle school, Connor was a different person. He was moody and destructive and it only got worse as he got older. His parents, having exhausted all their options, decided to send him to a local private school.
Hanover was the best thing that happened to Connor. He could be himself there without fear of ridicule and he met Miguel Nuñez. Miguel and Connor were inseparable. They did everything together. And then Connor took the fall for Miguel and he was shipped back to public school. Public school was a nightmare; no one cared enough to ask what he was feeling and Connor was spiraling more and more each day. It was only a matter of time before he crashed.

verses
why couldn’t we have brought that feeling home? ; verse - pre canon. connor’s life before the events of the musical/book. he is happy and content with his life. he plays with zoe and is your stereotypical young boy. as he grows, though, his behavior starts to change. it’s not drastic, but those close to him know that he’s different.
i couldn’t even leave a note ; verse - canon. the events of dear evan hansen. connor is a senior in high school and he is miserable, to say the least. he doesn’t like school; he doesn’t like being at home. the only thing he does like is spending time with miguel. more often than not, he’s high on something. this is the lowest point in connor’s life and he kills himself after finding a letter from evan hansen that had, in connor’s mind, some creepy things written in it about his sister.
take the bomb in your head and disarm it ; verse - post canon. connor survives his suicide attempt. some local authorities were patrolling near the park and spotted him. they were able to get him to the hospital in time to save him. he doesn’t know what to do now. he knows he can’t try again—everyone’s watching him too closely. he wants them all to leave him alone. he wants to go back to when no one cared about him. it was easier. he doesn’t like this, this constantly being watched and monitored. cynthia forced him back into therapy and he hates it. he doesn’t want nor need help. he just wants to be done. but maybe he doesn’t. maybe he just needs a nudge in the right direction.
i make my exit ; verse - post canon. ghost verse! connor wakes up at home, confused and disoriented. he can’t interact with anything and no one can see him. it doesn’t take him too long to realize that he’s a ghost. of course he is. he can’t even kill himself properly. he tries to live with his new found not-life, but sometimes it’s hard. he can’t do much unless he gets angry. so he just sort of wanders around, trying to find a way to get himself back to wherever the hell he came from. if he happens to find some kid that’s trying to end their life, he’ll try to step in and talk them out of it. but for the most part, he wanders and waits for some sort of final ending.
almost like zombies ; verse - after conner was expelled from hanover for possession, his parents sent him to a wilderness camp. he would’ve preferred rehab. he’s there for half a year and it’s awful. they’re treated like animals and given very little food. he hates it and wants nothing more than to leave. not that he’d tell anyone that, of course.
none of it was this bonkers ; verse - any and all interactions with muses that do not exist in the deh universe. this includes fandomless ocs. it does not include deh ocs.

ya know it could be like this, just like this always.

HISTORY:
Jack Twist was born to John and Jolene Twist after about a year of trying for a baby. The young couple welcomed their first and only child on a chilly morning in April at home. Everything had gone well with the birth and both Jack and Jolene were as healthy as could be. John was very proud of both mother and son and would go to great lengths to bring them up in conversation whenever he could. Jack quickly grew into an energetic, bright young boy with a natural curiosity for the world around him.
When Jack was 19, his father decided that he should get a summer job. The money he received from odd farmhand work and rodeo gigs wasn’t enough, you see, and he needed to start doing more to support the family. Jack decided to take a sheep herding job at a local mountain called Brokeback Mountain. He didn’t know much about sheep, but he figured it wasn’t that different than working with cattle, so he took the job. As it turned out, the sheep farmer that had hired Jack had also hired another farmer, a 19 year old from Wyoming. All that Jack managed to get out of his fellow shepherd was that his name was Ennis Del Mar.
Jack and Ennis didn’t talk much for the first few weeks they were on the mountain. Jack worked higher up on the mountain than Ennis did and so there was no reason for their paths to cross other than at mealtimes. And for a while, that’s all the interaction they had. One night, though, they’d been drinking more than usual and Jack made the mistake of trying to make a pass at Ennis. Nothing came of it, at least, not at first. Eventually, they ended up falling into bed together in Jack’s tent and the agreement was made that it was to strictly be a one time thing. The agreement wasn’t honored, as Jack and Ennis would go on to continue their affair for the next twenty years.

verses
some made up place where bluebirds sing//verse - pre canon. jack grows up loved by his mother and looked down upon by his father. he longs to get away from his father’s constant criticism but he doesn’t want to leave his mother alone with john. so he stays and he works on the farm and when his father tells him to get a job for the summer, he jumps at the chance.
measure the short leash you keep me on//verse - canon. the events of brokeback mountain. jack and ennis meet in the summer of 1963 and, despite the fact that their sleeping together was a one time thing, begin an affair that spans twenty years and will undeniably affect their marriages and the lives of their children.
you have no idea how bad it gets//verse - post canon. jack survives the accident but refuses to speak about it. he becomes more withdrawn and it’s a very long time before he seeks ennis out again. when he does, he tells him one more time that he’s leaving—this time for good—and that ennis is more than welcome to join him if he so chooses.
and you ask me about mexico?//verse - the brief period of time that jack spent in mexico. he spends most of his days drinking or smoking and most of his nights in someone’s bed, trying to forget the past years. it doesn’t work and so he leaves after about six months.
we could’ve had a good life//verse - modern. jack is still a farmhand and he’s still in love with ennis. the only thing that’s changed is the time period. people are more accepting now, but ennis is still fearful and he chooses to hide their relationship. jack goes along with it but he secretly wishes that ennis had the courage to be open about it.
he’s nine kinds of crazy//verse - any and all interactions with muses that do not exist in the brokeback mountain universe. this includes fandomless ocs. it does not include brokeback mountain ocs.
