Adolfo Pirelli: Broken

So I saw a clip from V for Vendetta on TikTok and it got me thinking about all the fucked up men I was madly in love with as a child. I made a list with the one rule being that I had to have a crush on them BEFORE middle school.

Here's what I ended up with.

Anybody who wants to know what's wrong with me should reference this post.

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

Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan by Ilya Repin // Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1982)

With the current Broadway cast Mrs. Lovett is so relatable. Like yeah I’d do the same for Aaron Tveit, duh??? That’s so real of her tbh.

Favorite movie?

The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sweeny Todd.

I watched it for the plot.

The plot in question, Helena Bonham Carter.

study of someone who's certainly not a demon barber and certainly not on fleet street

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1936)

The first sound adaptation of the Sweeny Todd story, and arguably the best. Tod Slaughter does an amazing job of portraying Todd as a thoroughly reprehensible character oozing with despicable sleaze that just doesn't wash off. It's also quite interesting seeing just how much they had to dance around the actual violence and cannibalism, the latter only ever being slightly implied—at one point hilariously, as man questions where Todd could dispose of the bodies while casually eating a meat pie. The only real downside is the comedic bookend segments in a modern—at the time—barber shop are cute, but don't really add anything to the overall experience.

7/10

The urge to make a Johanna Barker animatic to this song centred around her time at Fogg’s Asylum…… do you see the vision……

Sweeny Todd's new genre is masterbation material

[yourtimetoboldlygo]

are we detecting a Common Theme in my current movie consumption? (homosexuality is the theme)

[sondheim-girly]

Yes Sweeney Todd is an evil murderer and stuff and I do not simp for him at ALL but-

Aaron Tveit
