🌟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)!

Incorrect Quote Tag!
I wanted to do this tag again so here we go! Going with some characters from Supernova Initiative and Scrapyard Boys for this one <3
I had a lot of fun with this lol, enjoy! (:
The Generator
SCRAPYARD BOYS
Quince: What do you want for breakfast?
Josh: I WISH TO DEVOUR THE UNBORN.
Quince: (Visible Concern)
Erin: (Done with Life) ...
Erin: He wants eggs.
Rhys: Quince! Help! I’m bleeding…
Quince: Oh god… what’s your blood type?!
Rhys: B positive…
Quince: (holding back laughter) I’m trying to but you’re bleeding-
Adrien: Well, I'm very sorry to hear about your mother.
Max: Eh, we aren't really that close.
Adrien: Oh, good then. 'Cause she's a bitch.
Any authority figure: Could you be anymore annoying?
Valen: Yes.
*Adrien and Rhys are texting*
Adrien: Who are you? I think Gwyn changed the names in my phone.
Rhys: What did they change my name to?
Adrien: Chosen One.
Rhys: Don’t change it back.
Adrien: BUT WHO ARE YOU?!?!
Rhys: I’m the chosen one.
Adrien:... YOU SON OF A BITCH! IT WAS YOU?!!!
Rhys: Smugly leaves that message On Read
Damon: You’re insane!
Josh: I know I am, what’s your point?
Josh: Why does my arm shake and turn bright red when I’m eating dirt?Erin: ...
Erin: Why are you eating dirt?
Josh: Did I ask you if I should eat dirt? No, so answer my question.
Kay, after getting a library card: Now I know what true power feels like.
Gwyn: What’s it like being tall?
Rhys: Is it nice? Can you reach comfortably for the cupboards?
Adrien: We live in constant fear of the short ones who, in my experience, will climb four chairs, two boxes, a small coffee table, and six oddly placed stools to get what they want.
Thomas: Damon, I swear I didn’t know Emily was coming over. I always ominously clean my weapons on the coffee table like that. It had nothing to do with that!
Luke: You read my diary?
Valen: Look, at first I didn't know it was your diary. I thought it was a very sad handwritten book.
Josh: I'm not funny, I'm just really mean and people think I'm joking.
Gwyn: Why should I make my bed, when I'm just gonna unmake it to sleep in it anyways?
Adrien: Why should I feed you if your just gonna die anyways?
Gwyn:
Gwyn: I'll go make my bed-
Valen: My bad, It’s a knee jerk response.
Damon, holding Thomas's unconscious body: WHOSE KNEE JERK RESPONSE IS TO START THROWING BRICKS AT SOMEONE???
Max: What state do you live in?
Quince: I live in a state of constant anxiety.
SUPERNOVA INITIATIVE
Artemis: Everyone thinks you suck.
Deimos: I think you have the wrong number…
Artemis: Kye?
Deimos: Nope. I'm Deimos
Artemis: Well, you probably suck too…
Meridian, carrying a box: What would you say if- if I, hypothetically, came home with 7 kittens one day?
Jack: …
Jack: What’s in the box?
Meridian: What woul-
Jack: (sighs) Meridian, what’s in the box?
Meridian: I think you know.
Cassie (in Act 1-2): Hey, are you alright with swearing? Asking for a friend.
Deimos: ...Yeah?
Cassie: Bitch.
Jack, stuck in the middle of this situation:... I hate my life
Vesper: Murder literally doesn’t hurt anyone!
Jack: What are you talking about? Of course—
Kye, holding out a hand to shut Jack up: No, no, wait. She has a
point—
Noctus: Meridian is late again.
Cassie: How did this happen? I called them at 8 o’clock this morning and pretended it was 11.
Aleks: I printed up a fake schedule for them saying we were starting at 9 instead of noon.
Vesper: I set their clock to say PM when it’s really AM.
Jack: Oh boy. We may have overdone it.
*Meridianbursts through the door, panicking*
Meridian: WHAT TIME IS IT?
Jack: (hesitant) Have I ever told you that you cook well?
Cassie: Awww, no, you haven't!
Jack: (nearly in exasperated tears) So why do you keep cooking?
*Artemis and Kye are fighting*
Gabi, taking aspirin: I have a headache! Can you guys just be cool?!
*Artemis and Kye keep fighting, now while wearing sunglasses and riding skateboards*
Elysia: What’s your biggest fear?
Jack: I am incredibly arachnophobic.
Elysia, under her breath (confused, never heard that word in her life): You don’t want spiders to get married?
Lyorna, singing, unaware there's anyone nearby: I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need—
Kye: An actual family.
Vesper: A better love life.
Jack: Mental stability.
Meridian: *clueless* Bagels?
Aleks: I may be stupid.
The Squad: ...
Aleks: Oh, did you think I was going to finish that sentence?
Jack: Why were you up yesterday until 3am?
Cassie: How did you know I was up until 3am?
Deimos (walking in with an absolutely exhausted face and two cups of coffee): Because we all could hear you clapping to that sitcom intro every 25 minutes.
Vesper: Do you want to be the Sun in my life?
Deimos: Yes.
Vesper: Good, then stay 92,935,700 miles away from me :)
Aleks: That sounds super! Doesn’t that sound super, Noctus?
Noctus: No.
Aleks: I think I speak for Noctus when I say it sounds really super.
Jack: Yesterday, I overheard Meridian saying “Are you sure this is a good idea?” and Cassie replying “Trust me,” and I have never moved from one room to another so quickly in my life.
Kye: Two truths and a lie, I’ll start!
Kye: I’ve killed people, I will kill again, and I hear screams when I'm alone or sleeping.
Meridian, visibly nervous: I don’t- I don’t know if I like this game.
Jack: *points at Tarah* A human turtleneck, *points at Kye* a narcissistic monster, *points at Aleks* and literally the dumbest person I’ve ever met.
Aleks: And who am I? Describe me now.
*The gang's thoughts on stabbing*
Meridian (mortified): Would never stab anyone.
Deimos: Would stab someone in retaliation.
Cassie: Yells "I won't hesitate, bitch!" first.
Kye: Would stab without warning.
Vesper: Would stab as a warning.
Jack: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.
Lyorna: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.
Jack: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to charm me into healthy sleeping patterns??
Lyorna: Is it working?
Kye: I'm feeling it! What am I feeling? Death, probably.
Gabi: My future partner must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful and organized.
Elysia: *steps on a caterpillar and proceeds to drop to her knees and sob while apologizing profusely*
Gabi: That one. I want that one.
