Today I'll talk about how during Alexander Hamilton, the opening song from the show Hamilton, sir John Laurens' voice should also be amongst the 4th group as well, with the Schuyler sisters during the "me? I loved him" line. In this essay I'll
The amount of gender envy I get from dis main is illegal

Dylan: You might wanna slow down.
Nick: *eating a brownie* It's cool! I have a high metabolism.
Dylan: Those are edibles-
Nick: I know. That's why I'm eating them.
Dylan: They're full of cannabis...
Nick: *pause* All of them?
Dylan: How many did you just eat?
Nick: *panting* 10?! 12?
Dylan: Oh. My God! THAT amount with your body weight?? ...You're fine. It's fine.
Nick: THEN WHY ARE YOU MAKING THAT FACE?!
I’ll always be thinking about how Evan Evagora declared ‘Lovefool’ by The Cardigans as Nick’s favourite song.
Dammit it keeps autocorrecting me, I meant to put crafting the letters
today on "my thoughts on Hamilton": Hamilton and Laurens
I'm not getting into the historical facts and theories about these two, but imo they were lovers
the first time I watched the musical I was actually kinda disappointed in the lack of subcontext they showed. there isn't even that much gaybaiting.
then I thought "well its hard enough to establish a show with a almost all POC cast, that's also breaking traditional musical rules. give em a break"
it would have also undermined Alex' devotion to Eliza from the very beginning so probably wouldn't been the best idea story telling wise.
but then I watched it again and i noticed some looks, "Lauren's i like you a lot" and so on - BUT most importantly I wanna talk about their costumes.
when burr introduces Hamilton to Laurens, Lafayette and Mulligan they very soon form a friendship quartet. something bugged me while watching for the first time, but it took me a rewatch to realise what it was.
Lafayette is wearing blue (idk if this is nod to him being French, for me the association is there), Mulligan is wearing green so you'd kinda expect Ham and Laurens to wear red and yellow to complete the google/windows -esque primary colours scheme... and they kinda do. depending on light and shadow their coats appear more yellow-ish or red-ish. but that's the thing! they BOTH wear brown-ish/orange-y coats. they're not the same but they're WAY more similar to each other than anyone else coats.
maybe I'm over-analysing and it doesn't have to mean anything... but I really like the idea of their costumes hinting at something more between these two
So I couldn't stop thinking about how Dear Evan Hansen would have gone if Evan had told the truth from the get-go. Would the story be that different? I would say no.
So I decided to write a fake wikipedia summary for my in-progress fanfic of "Dear Evan Hansen - Rewritten."

I just want to remind you all that Vegemite chocolate was a thing in Australia in 2015 and holy shit did this circulate in my high school despite how disgustang it was
Which means that Nick probably would have tried it. Do you ever think he brings it up with the Hacketteers?

Laurens: Did it hurt?
Hamilton: Yeah
Laurens: I was going to say when you fell from heaven-
Hamilton: It all hurts
Hamilton: My life is constant pain and suffering
