hey besties 🫶🏻 thought I’d make a tiny post bc i haven’t yet. anyways, hi, hello, greetings, i’m ems!!

first and foremost, i’m an adult, so please be aware of that, as i think it is important to know—especially in fandom spaces. i love anime, video games, literature, and musicals, and have recently fallen down a takarazuka rabbit hole (thanks to asumi rio, yuzuka ray, and many other talented people). additionally, i have interests in critical role, interview with the vampire, castlevania, and many, many more which i can’t think of at the moment.

okay, that’s basically it lol. ty for reading ✨

listening to the 2023 sweeney todd album with jordan fisher as anthony hope makes me appreciate how beautifully the duets between johanna and antony are. it came on shuffle in my car and it made me think about the musical and its film as a whole.

my spiel is below the cut 🫶🏻

hot take but johanna and anthony’s songs (and ofc the popular ones) have always been my favorites and i was so sad they were not put in tim burton’s sweeney because jamie campbell bower and jayne wisener would have nailed all of their duet songs 🥀

double hot take: “ah, miss” and “kiss me” are two of the most lyrically and instrumentally beautiful pieces in the musical and i feel like they are under appreciated. and i wish they were in the movie.

now that being said…as much as i absolutely adore tim burton’s sweeney todd with johnny depp and helena bonham carter, i would love if someone made a film adaptation that kept all the songs in it while still keeping its dark aesthetic and tone.

are you telling me.....lestat went to a store, and didn't just buy candy for trick or treaters, he bought one of those plastic imitation cauldrons to PUT the candy in. i'm unwell.

[bluebell218]

UPDATE. are you telling me.....lestat left a NOTE on his DOOR so trick or treaters know he's not home and he left them candy!!?? AND he decorated his porch with a skeleton??? AND he dressed up in costume for an event that clearly no other adults are dressing up for cause he just loves halloween?? lestat is never beating the precious bitch allegations, i fear his whimsy can not be contained. i'm unwell.
