"To seek revenge may lead to Hell..."
"..but everyone does it, if seldom as well.."
"..as Sweeney. As Sweeney Todd."
"THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET! STREET!"
Made @ziipzeepzop-eez and I as Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd respectively! 💚
(you may have noticed one of Zeep's nicknames is Zeevett? And one of her nicknames for me is Fweeney? Well when you cross Finley and Sweeney, as well as Zeep and Lovett, what do you get? (;)
This is totally Zee and I jumping into The Abyss™ btw /silly

If you haven't listened to Josh Groban as Sweeney Todd on Broadway, please do your ears a favor and listen to this unhinged man sing in an angelic voice about committing horrible crimes.

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!

Put your Spotify on shuffle and write down the first lyric of the first ten songs that come on, post the poem that results
(sorry i literally don't listen to any music that even remotely has to do with VC so I don't have any VC playlists lmfao whoops)
Put your loving hand out, baby
I know that I can't make you stay
Do you even feel it, do you even feel it now?
You learn a couple things when you get to my age
I ponder of something great
Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction
The American Dream is killing me
Washington crossed the Delaware river
Tnai nee knom jeh nam sra
We don't believe what's on TV

okay guys hear me out bc i woke up like half an hour ago but it was with a song in my heart and a vision in my mind so: sweeney todd au.
barty is sweeney, demon barber of fleet street, he never forgives and he never forgets etc etc, just got back to london after being shipped off the australia on jumped-up charges and he’s out for revenge on the judge, who’s obviously his father….. haven’t figured out how the whole johanna thing is gonna work yet but lucy (his wife) is obvs either evan or reg hmmm will have to ponder this further but. and this is where the major hear me out comes in. sybill as mrs. lovett. as in sybill trelawney, as in ‘let’s put the dead bodies in pies!’ …… anyway these are preliminary thoughts. if i start thinking too much about them it might collapse around my ears so im gonna leave it there. but. there’s a little something there in my mind. so.

no because you don't understand i HAVE to cover "the ballad of sweeney todd (finale)" with a gazillion of my moots even though i have no idea how we'd do it and i would have to edit a bunch of audio tracks and because i'm a perfectionist it'd take me even more time and i don't know how a good chunk of my moots sound like because i hear how it sounds in my head and it sounds really awesome ok?? /silly

also while im still at it sweeney todd (both the musical and character) live somewhat near the same space as jane doe in my head. in both epiphany and the ballad of jane doe, they have the same grotesque macabre and grotesqueness that you want to look away from but can’t because its so fascinating and captivating at the same time. sweeney and jane (in my head) as actors on stage have to move in such a stiff and doll-like in almost such a mechanical way but be able to also change that movement on a dime and move with such nightmarish almost uncanny fluidity because of how much of a contrast it is to how they moved earlier in the show. epiphany and the ballad of jane doe have vaguely similar fonts. that is all.
