1. The lyrics fit

2. The song just carries those Character Vibes, often times inexplicably, regardless of lyrics

3. You really liked that song at the same time you liked the character

Each remained loyal to the concept she most honored.

slytherin: we get som hairspray, make some flamethrowers…

slytherin: let’s try these bitches.

Gryffindor: *has a pterodactyl screeching contest down hallway*

“I’m trying to eat less junk food and that lasted 2 weeks and then I saw doritos.”

Hufflepuff: “GUYS THERE’S DUCKS IN THE AGRICULTURE ROOM!” *leaves class without actually asking teacher in haste to go see the ducks*

“I prefer my dark thoughts with sunny skies.”

Ravenclaw: “Its’s a plane! It’s a bird! It’s a research scientist?”

“My eyes hurt from reading fanfiction all night and I need M&M’s.”

Slytherin: “I need to go and hand in a paper saying I won’t do bad shit in Germany.”

“I can be drunk all day everyday because I’m the Queen.”

This is a movie about a kid who leaves her birth family.

Not a kid who find that they have a secret lineage or something that allows them to find their ‘true family’ - this is a movie about a kid whose true birth family is made up of bad people. So she gets out. And that is played as the right thing to do. She isn’t punished for it or made to feel bad about ‘abandoning her family’. There isn’t an underlying ‘but they’re your family and you have to love them’ or ‘they’re your family and they love you even if they don’t show it well or do hurtful things’ message of the kind that I see OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER in media. Matilda gets out and lives happily ever after because of it.
