Currently doing a deep clean in my room when I discovered this treasure under the bed✨✨✨✨✨✨
(inspired by this drawing on the right I'm not sure who is the OG creator of the drawing but credits to them✨🙌🏻🥰)
BACKSTORY!!!/Rewind(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.):
I was like 9 years old when I did this, which was like a long time ago, been a Hamilton fan for 5 years already (awesome, wow)... I remember going through Pinterest while listening to helpless and saw the art piece and immediately went to work and did a recreation while bursting the original cast recording of Hamilton so loud.🥹😭🥺
Honestly, Alexander Hamilton told us the whole time how he really felt about Eliza Schuyler.
He says in Helpless “My life is gonna be fine now that Eliza’s in it” and she says “I look in your eyes and the sky’s the limit and i’m down for the count” and those two things aren’t even remotely the same thing.
If i had a nickel for every musical got Tumblr famous, about a character got to war and won thanks to his strategy genius and than ruined his life for his hubris, with some very bopping songs, that also absolutely wilfully ignore the history of this guy with slavery, i would have two nickels, that is not a lot but Is strange it happened twice.
Today felt like one those Hamilton college AU days where Alexander was two itches tall with a greasy ponytail sleeping with everyone on campus (especially the "hamilsquad") but then John dies from turtles and Alex marries Eliza isn't that just wild
Hear me out- in the future when season five of PJO, when Lin is standing over Luke's body, sobbing his eyes out, someone makes an edit that takes that clip and then transitions it to Lin as Alexander Hamilton crying over Philip's body this time, with Olivia Rodrigo in the background singing "do you get deja vu, huh?"
If I had a nickel for every time Lin Manuel Miranda's character's son died in their respective medias and it was entirely the former's fault, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
i hope the pjo show makes lmm hermes. not him playing hermes; he IS hermes.
percy: you’re hermes? wait aren’t you that guy who wrote hamilton
hermes: i made a bet with apollo bc he said i wouldn’t be able to write a musical better than him. i needed to prove my superiority. artemis gave us each a topic to write about.
Hc that Hermes created the Lin Manuel persona as a joke but Hamilton was wildly successful so he just kept it up and Apollo is FURIOUS that a) he’s overstepped into his domain and b) he’s so damn GOOD at it (much to the chagrin of literally everyone)
It’s like the dam cow thing all over again, but this time instead of stealing fifty of his cows Hermes stole his bit.
