Hamilton An American Musical - Blog Posts
“I am not throwing away my shot,” said Alexander Hamilton who famously died because he threw away his shot in a duel against Aaron Burr
¿How many poeple to habla hispana likes Hamilton and another musicals?
So, you know how Anthony Ramos plays both John Laurens and Philip Hamilton?
I just had a theory - Burr might be the narrator, but we were still looking at the world through Hamilton's eyes. And he was so devastated after Laurens's death, that he just saw him everywhere.
Including his son.
And when Philip died, he lost all sense of self-preservation. Both the love of his life, and his pride and joy, both so alike in looks and demeanour, gone. Why must he live, when his son and lover await him in heaven?
Oh, but the freedom he'd promised an entire country yearning for a breath of fresh air. The millions of other unknown Johns and Philips in the crowd, the millions of other unknown Elizas, they all depended on him.
He storms around, in a quite bad mood, and along comes...
Jefferson.
That ambitious bastard.
That moron, who'd much better suit presidency, than Alexander Hamilton, the loudmouth who won't shut the fuck up. It wasn't such a bad idea, was it? All he'd have to do is screw up. Or maybe he could change it all... with a duel.
Anygays,
Have a good day/night!
edit: what the fuck was past me on I don't understand anything
Hey! I gotta prepare a presentation for after the whole quarantine thing. It's about the social impact of Hamilton the musical but I have a hard time finding good sources, so if you have anything please, please, please send them to me! Thanks!
Some Hamilton stuff, I like drawing Eliza with short hair, also I like historical Hamilton so I draw most of them like that,
I’ve been sketching the past few days, have some A. Ham and El Schuy for my absence. Used that one ref thing for the poses.
Philip: Daddy, there's a monster under my bed!
Alex: Aw, son, of course there's no-

Lafayette and Angelica
I heard somewhere that whe Lafayette got captured in Austria, it was Angelica Schuyler and her husband John Barker Church to save him.
What do you think the conversation would have been?
“Lafayette! What are you doing in there?”
“Why, I am in jail, of course.”
long, deep, frustrated sigh
“I am sorry, madame, but that man was just asking for it!”
WHEE a submission for hamil-tots :D
Valentine's Day
Eliza loved Valentine's Day.
Well, at least from what Momma said about it, it sounded amazing. Momma had said that Valentine's Day was full of hearts and love and ap-pre-ci-ation. A few days before the grand day, Mr. Washington told everyone that they could bring in valentines for the other kids, Eliza was ecstatic. When she got home, she started making valentines right away, grabbing a large stack of construction paper and a couple sheets of stickers.
For her sisters, she made a yellow card for Peggy and an orange one for Angelica. She drew hearts and smiley faces and flowers. For John, she drew lots of turtles and apple juice. For Lafayette, she found a sticker sheet full of France related things and plastered his valentine with them. She made everyone else’s to correspond to their likes. In total she made 12 cards- including one for Mr. Washington. But for Alex, her very best friend, she made a special valentine. It was the biggest and of all the cards- with all the glitter stickers and special rainbow writing. The best thing was that she taped a lollipop she’d been saving all the way from Halloween- A special edition caramel pop that she held dear to her heart.
Eliza smiled after completing Alexander’s card. “There,” she said softly, “All done,” She planted a kiss on top of the valentine and put it back into the bag where all the other cards lay.
------------------------------------
The next day, she jumped out of bed as soon as Momma woke her up and raced down to grab her bag of valentines. After Momma dropped her off- she sprinted right past Mr. Washington, who was holding the door, and stopped right in the middle of the room. The walls were covered into heart streamers and tiny cupids. She breathed in, inhaling all the happiness in the air.
She couldn’t wait for the party before lunchtime. All throughout morning playtime, she daydreamed of Alex and all the joy to come.
When it was finally time to pass out valentines, she was the first to volunteer.
“Alright, it’s time to pass out your valentines, kids! Who wants to go fir-”
“ME!” Eliza shot her hand up so fast Mr. Washington didn’t have time to finish.
“Eliza! Please raise your hand quietly! But yes, you can go,”
Eliza stood up and gave out her valentines. The other kids were amazed by them- Eliza’s were much better than theirs. As she gave her valentine to Alex, A chorus of wows went up from their classmates.
“Woah... T-thank you, Eliza,” a surprised Alex marveled at the wonderful card.
The little girl blushed. “You’re welcome,”
Everyone else passed out theirs, and finally, they could open them.
John gave everyone turtle cards. Hercules had sewn beanies for the boys and little dolls for the girls. Alexander wrote poems, and so on.
They were all given time to play with or eat the items they were given. Eliza was just about to give her brand new doll a name when Alex came up to her. He was holding her giant card.
“Oh! Hi, Alex!” Eliza turned to smile at her best friend.
“Thank you a lot for the card! It’s really awesome!” The boy beamed, grateful to have a friend like Eliza.
“But... How did you get that lollipop? I’ve never seen it before,” He asked.
“I saved it all the way from Halloween. It’s a special e-di-tion lollipop.” Eliza answered.
“Do... Do you want to sleep next to me during nap time?” Alex asked shyly.
The girl smiled brilliantly. “Of course,”
Now, this was a big deal, since the girls and boys never slept together because of “cooties”. But nevertheless, Alex and Eliza didn’t care.
So sleep togther during nap time they did.
