tbh he was and still is my fav

Regret. 

gender-ambiguous burr casting/costuming where the reason everyone keeps saying “sir?” after “burr” is because they’re not… entirely… sure?

and burr just smiles and continues like nothing happened

“are you aaron… burr… sir?”

“that depends. who’s asking?”

he’s not very forthcoming on any particular stances ask him a question it glances off he obfuscates he dances

The World Was Wide Enough

Burr: I can’t let this man with 6 small children who need a fatherly figure make an orphan of my 22-year old married daugher

One of my favorite #Hamiltome annotations, from ‘The Room Where It Happens’.

Burr: I, who act like me all the time

It is still largly work in progress. I’m gonna keep fixing it and working on it, since I got a nice feedback but this is a pdf I’ve prepared for school presentation on thursday for the three weeks of self study we had. :)

Can we just talk about how Alexander Hamilton just straight up hijacked Dear Theodosia from being another Aaron Burr solo? Like, the song wasn’t called “Dear Theodosia and Phillip”. I just imagine Hamilton starting to sing to his own kid and Burr is just standing there all “What the fuck, Alexander?”

burr: hey angelica whats your number?

angelica, visibly texting: i dont have a phone

hamilton: here’s an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements burr: why do you just carry that piece of paper around in your pocket hamilton: *takes out quill* *writes*: also does not agree with the how i manage my belongings

the more i dig into the history behind hamilton the weirder the details get

so the story behind the reynolds pamphlet is a little more complicated than made out to be in the play. the people who originally confronted hamilton about his presumed speculation were actually james monroe (another virginian *hint hint*) and a guy named frederick muhlenberg, which they did after james reynolds had been arrested. to clear his name, hamilton revealed all of the dirty details of his relationship with maria reynolds, including handing over all the letters between maria and himself to monroe. now monroe and muhlenberg are satisfied by this, and don’t charge hamilton with anything. the story could have ended there but monroe decided to be a douchebag and send the letters to a close friend for shits and giggles, who just so happened to be none other than thomas fucking jefferson. what does TJ do? he holds on to them and uses them five years later to start some shit, spreading rumors about hamilton. same year, a journalist named james callender (who was known as a “scandalmonger” and later reported on TJ himself and his possible relationship with his slave sally hemings aka the country’s second big sex scandal aka exactly what jefferson deserved after all this shit) starts printing all sorts of pamphlets about hamilton and maria, including some of the letters hamilton gave to monroe (gee, i wonder where callender got them from???). hamilton, being hamilton, confronts monroe, who was apparently a real dick, because he denies any responsibility for the leak. hamilton calls him a liar (and he was right) and monroe turns around and calls him a scoundrel and challenges him to a duel. at this point the story gets even more interesting because 1) it is now extremely obvious that our country was founded by 8 year olds, 2) hamilton was actually not the one who threw down the gauntlet, and 3) most importantly, the duel never happened because someone talked them down. guess who it was. fucking guess. it was aaron fucking burr

anyway hamilton then goes on and publishes a 95 page pamphlet (jfc alexander) explaining the situation, which of course is the one that the song in the play is about. another fun tidbit though is that maria and james reynolds were actually divorced by the time all of this came to light, and maria was represented in court by none other than aaron fucking burr

Hamilton was great! Breaking my only-Les-Mis rule to post some parts of the show I remember well enough to draw. Added captions for what parts they’re from.

(Accidentally drew Jefferson in the wrong outfit for cabinet battle #2, maybe I’ll fix it later.)

can you believe he literally set himself on fire that one time, ruined a bust of himself because he got a zit, and injured himself from repeatedly rolling off a bench? i just…….

Leslie Odom Jr. singing the ‘Dear Theodosia’ (Reprise) at The Public Theater which was unfortunately cut from the final broadway production of Hamilton. 

The song follows ‘Burn’ in the second act and describes Aaron Burr telling his daughter that her mother, his wife, has passed away.
