Slytherin Boys as Speak Now Songs

*in perspective of their relationship with you AND their personality. and why*

here's speak now (tv ofc), 1989 is on the way; which taylor swift album should i do next?

(mattheo riddle, draco malfoy, theo nott, lorenzo berkshire)

slytherin boys masterlist works

mattheo riddle as Better Than Revenge

best lyric(s) - "she should keep in mind there is nothing I do better than revenge" + "she underestimated just who she was stealing from"

explanation - so, as stated in ttpd version (here), mattheo has a lot of pent up frustration and anger. so he's really good at getting back at people. especially when he gets into a relationship with a partner he really cares about and they ask him not to be mean or attack people for no reason. then he has to channel all his efforts into just getting back at people who bother him. (even though sometimes bothering him is just looking at him even slightly sideways).

w/ his partner - with his partner, mattheo has absolutely no regrets or qualms about being an absolute menace to society. since he began dating them, he's been much less volatile than his normal self, but whenever people get a little too cocky and do absolutely anything at or to you, all bets are off. then mattheo feels that its necessary to step up and remind people that he's still the dark lord's son and he will be the dark lord's son if he has to.

draco malfoy as Speak Now

best lyric(s) - "don't say yes, run away now, ill meet you when you're out" + "horrified looks from everyone in the room but i'm only looking at you"

explanation - I feel like draco is the kind of guy who would totally 1000% crash your wedding if you were ever marrying someone other than him. (*I just read this theo fic abt him crashing readers wedding, ill try and find it and link it here*) But anyways, he would totally crash your wedding. like at first he would feel really bad for even thinking about it but then he would legit just stroll into the chapel like "you can't marry him, you're supposed to marry me" even if he like never mentioned anything about his feelings for you. he mentioned them in his way aka glaring at you slightly less intense than he does everyone else. how could you not notice that he was in love with you?

w a partner - def more silly and cute than anything, but i like to think that when you first started dating (esp if youre a gryff or a huffle) draco would make it his personal mission to embarrass the hell out of you by saying the most out of pocket things in front of like the other slytherins or just in the middle of class as loudly as possible. he just likes to see the little blush on your cheeks whenever he says something that he most definitely should not be saying out loud.

theodore nott as Electric Touch

best lyric(s) - "all I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life" + "I'm tryin hard not to look like I'm trying"

explanation - theo is that guy thats scared of commitment. (sorry to all the theo girlies me included but we gotta admit it at some point). it's not that he doesn't care about his partner, it's just that he's terrified of commitment. there's way too much that could go wrong. he learned very early on that you could do everything right, love someone completely, treat them wonderfully, and then they could just die. but bc his mother passed at such a young age he has a very distorted point of view on this because in his head, he's like but what if they just die???

w/ a partner - that being said, when theo finds that person that's like the one for him, he wants to commit so bad. and he puts all of his effort into it, like he'll call you his girlfriend, he'll spend an exorbitant amount of money on you, he'll even buy you a damn ring, but he won't let you get emotionally close to him. and it kind of freaks him out when he finds himself wanting you to know him in that way. when you finally confront him about one day and he's like, what if you just like died?? and you're just sitting there across from him like '...'

theo, wtf? i'm not just gonna like keel over one day.

after that he kind of lets you in a little and after a few months when he's sure you're not just gonna suddenly fall over, then he's completely fine and continues on like nothing ever happened. (its a little amusing in the hindsight of it all)

lorenzo berkshire as Dear John

best lyric(s) - "don't you think 19's too young to be played by your dark twisted games" + "cause you burned them out, but I took your matches before fire could catch me"

explanation - I don't think it's really talked about enough how much emotional support that enzo needs. his own family aside, he still grew up around death eaters and that surely cannot be healthy for a guy. so when he finally is an adult, i like to think that he looked into some kind of therapy option wizard, muggle, or otherwise. i think that he probably also struggled a little with the friends that he lost during the entire ordeal that he wishes he could've saved (almost like survivor's guilt)

w a partner - so when it comes to a partner, i really think that he needs someone who sees him. that's really important to him that he's with someone that he could just let go with and not have to worry about always being either grinning or stonefaced. He'd like to be able to feel his entire range of emotions without hindrance and he's only really gonna feel safe to do that with a partner.

Cheryl Blossom (Riverdale): ESTJ

Dominant Extroverted Thinking [Te]: It’s important for Cheryl to be in charge of her external environment and have power at Riverdale High, whether that comes in the form of being captain of the River Vixens, or by plotting against against her enemies. She’s domineering, barks orders with ease, and tends to come on quite strong and doesn’t hesitate to put people in their place. Cheryl doesn’t seem to spend much time tuning in to the emotions of the people around her. Cheryl is quite intelligent and, in addition to her position on the cheerleading squad and the various activities she participates in, she also maintains a 4.0 GPA. She’s a leader who wants to organize and implement her plans. She can easily take control of any situation and doesn’t back down when she has a goal. Cheryl is blunt, direct, and knows how to work within the system. Cheryl tells it like it is and doesn’t sugarcoat anything for anybody. “I think she’s crazier than a serial killer on bath-salts, but so what? She’s carrying Jason’s baby. That trumps everything.” The facts are important to Cheryl and she tends to need indisputable evidence in order to believe something. She doesn’t believe that Jason would’ve had anything to do with a playbook based on her prior experiences with him (Si), and it isn’t until she sees the book with her own two eyes that she begins to think that she might not have known her brother as well as she thought she did. Cheryl believes she must keep her emotions in check and wants to present a strong image. Cheryl is quick to take action in situations. When she comes to the conclusion that Polly killed Jason, she tweets the news to her followers in an attempt to get the residents of Riverdale to make Polly pay for what Cheryl believes she has done.

Auxiliary Introverted Sensing [Si]: Cheryl’s past experiences shape all of her opinions. The playbook doesn’t exist. It’s just a stupid “suburban legend.” She knows her brother, and he never would’ve stood for anything like that. And even if such a book existed, Jason would’ve told her about it. Tradition and hierarchy matter very much to Cheryl and she takes a great deal of pride in being captain of the River Vixens. The maple tapping ritual was something she and Jason participated in every year and she didn’t know how to face the annual event without him by her side. Cheryl cares about her status at Riverdale High and is extremely threatened by Veronica, who could usurp her as Queen Bee. She wants to keep Veronica in check and make sure she knows her place in Riverdale’s social hierarcy. Cheryl tends to hold grudges and loathes Polly because of what happened between her and Jason, and treats Betty poorly because she’s Polly’s sister. She judges people based on their past. She warns Hermione to put all of the money in the register because “Lodges are known to have sticky fingers.” Cheryl likes a sense of consistency in her life. She wears the same broach frequently, dresses mostly in reds, and her material possessions mean a lot to her, which is why giving her HBIC shirt and position as captain to Veronica and making amends with Jughead by giving him her broach were such strong indicators of what she was planning to do. At Jason’s memorial, Cheryl decides to wear the dress she wore the last time she saw him alive. Cheryl clings to Archie because he reminds her of Jason, and seeing him at the pep really in Jason’s jersey caused her to run off the stage and have a private breakdown (Si-Fi).

Tertiary Extroverted Intuition [Ne]: When Cheryl discovers that Polly escaped from the Sisters of Quiet Mercy on the same night that Jason’s car was set on fire, she “does the math” and incorrectly believes that Polly killed Jason. Though, there are times when her intuition is spot on. She thinks that one or both of her parents could’ve been involved in Jason’s death and theorizes that if Clifford wasn’t mad at Jason about Polly, he must’ve been angry with him for a different reason, telling her mother that it “must have been about the business.” Although she can be quite rigid, Cheryl is open to adjusting her beliefs and opinions as new information presents itself and is able to adapt when necessary. Cheryl is able to think quickly and improvise in the moment. She lies to her parents about having flushed the ring and makes up a story about Polly charging at her to get to it, but in actuality, she keeps it hidden because she has grown suspicious of her mom and dad.

Inferior Introverted Feeling [Fi]: Cheryl refuses to dwell on her emotions. She deals with her feelings by taking action. She doesn’t want the dance to be canceled after Jason’s body is found. Rather, she wants to use it to allow people to heal from the tragedy. When she’s feeling particularly emotional, she goes off on her own to deal with her feelings in private. Cheryl often lacks empathy and has a hard time relating to people, which is why her plan to get information out of Betty by being kind to her fails. Cheryl doesn’t like to be vulnerable and tries to present a tough exterior, but when her emotions do come to the surface, she’s usually quite volatile, as evidenced by her suicide attempt at Sweetwater River, the place she was last with Jason, and the place where his body was discovered (Si-Fi). Cheryl is much better at helping others by donating her time and her money (buying Archie a guitar, getting money for Polly) than she is at supporting them emotionally.

Quotes:

Cheryl: Will this beautiful, exotic, hothouse flower drown under the town’s scrutiny, or be swamped by her emotions? The answer, ladies, is “no” and “no.”

Ethel: I already tried. Weatherbee said that he didn’t find anything. Betty: Okay, we need undeniable proof. Cheryl: Proof of what, Nancy Drew? That boys will be boys? And that playbook reeks of suburban legend. Betty: How would you know, Cheryl? Cheryl: Because, Frida Shallow, before he died, my brother was co-captain of the football team with Chuck, and Jason never mentioned it, and he never would’ve allowed it.

Kevin: Cheryl just tweeted #PollyCooperKilledMyBrother, NowhereToHide, SharpenYourPitchforks.

Cheryl: Speaking of breaks, what’s a big one worth to you, Mother? Letting me be a River Vixen again? Penelope: What on earth are you talking about, Cheryl? Cheryl: I have information you… Both of you, would find interesting vis-a-vis my brother’s case. But first, the Vixens are mine. And I want your permission to reclaim them. Penelope: Good Lord, fine. Cheryl: So, Ginger texted me while I was in the ladies’ room. It seems that crazy bitch, Polly Cooper, escaped from some looney bin, the same night Jason’s car was torched. So let me do the math for you. Polly escaping plus Polly torching Jason’s car equals she’s Jason’s killer. Covering her tracks, trying to go underground, like the vicious, cold-hearted murdering mean girl that she is.

Cheryl: As a maj thank-you for coming to the maple banquet with me tomorrow, I wanted to give you this. An ’84 Les Paul. In our signature color. You’re welcome. Okay. That’s all. I’m going now. My claustrophobia acts up in small houses. See you tomorrow.

Cheryl: What did my dad say to you? That everyone thinks I’m a train wreck? Jason was the golden boy, but me… People hate me, Archie. And at school, that’s fine, whatever. But this is my family.

Cheryl: You catatonic bimbos didn’t even vote. So you stuttering sapheads are too dim to exercise your own rights, and you’ve got the combined vocabulary of a baked potato. Consider this your last practice as River Vixens, and your last week as my social handmaidens. You’re fired on all fronts. That’s all. Shoo, bitches.

Penelope: One more thing before you go to the dance. Nana Blossom’s ring… It’s not in my jewelry box, it’s not with Polly. Where is it? Cheryl: It wasn’t my fault, it was Polly’s. She lunged at me, trying to get it, I didn’t know what to do. I panicked. I thought it would be better for everyone if the ring were just gone. Down the drain. That way, if Polly ever said anything to anyone, there’d be no proof. Just her word against ours. Did I do something wrong? Clifford: No… It’s quite right what you did.

Cheryl: I think something happened, Mommy. Penelope: Whatever do you mean? Cheryl: If Daddy wasn’t mad at Jason about Polly, it must have been about the business. I don’t know if he heard something he shouldn’t have, or he saw something he didn’t like- Penelope: You don’t know what you’re saying. Cheryl: What was Jay-Jay running away from? The business? Daddy? You? Ow!

Cheryl: Your room’s so sweet. Betty: It’s too pink. It doesn’t feel right anymore. Cheryl: No, I like how girly it is. Mine is, too. You should come over and see it sometime. But, just you, not Veronica. I mean, she must be evil incarnate if even you won’t have her as a friend. And on the subject of being friends, Betty, I’m sorry I’ve been such a witchy-witch to you. After Polly and Jason’s epic demise, I was angry… At everyone. But I took it out on you which was super unfair. Especially since, in a way, it’s kinda like we both lost siblings. How, uh, how is Polly? Is she still in that group home? Do you think she knows what happened to Jason, that he was murdered? Betty: I-I’m not sure. Cheryl: What do you think went down between them? Betty: I don’t know- Cheryl: What do your parents say? About Jason and Polly? Betty: Not a lot. Cheryl: Same. I keep thinking that maybe Jason said something to her or she said something to him. I mean, didn’t they have a big fight this summer, or- Betty: Why are you asking me so many questions about Polly, Cheryl? Cheryl: Because, you dumb cow, someone shot my brother and I think it was your crazy, tweaked-out sister.
