my favorite part of hamilton is when burr is like “you insulted me” and hamilton’s response is literally “i most certainly did, but i need you to be more specific about which instance we’re discussing here. i made an itemized list of all the times i’ve insulted you in the last 30 years, can you please point out which one we’re fighting about today”.
i like in hamilton how they tell us that the islanders all chipped in to make sure that hamilton could go to the mainland and Make Something Of Himself like HE IS TOO TALENTED TO REMAIN HERE
but then much later its like… “he used to give 6 hour long speeches” and ur like… ok… sure. “would you like to donate to a good cause ma’am” “what cause” “sending alexander hamilton to another continent” “heres my life savings”
I’ll use the press / I’ll write under a pseudonym / you’ll see what I can do to him
From the Genius.com commentary on “One Last Time”:
What’s funny about this line is that he thinks people won’t know it’s him. Like, who else writes a book a day and just happens to despise Thomas Jefferson?
lyrics that im forever bitter never made it into the final cut of hamilton
- People will always be critical, they’ll make the personal political, they’ll try to knock you off your pedestal, your pinnacle, let other people be cynical, let it go
- And a million years ago she said to me ‘this one’s mine’…so I stood by, do you know why? I love my sister more than anything in this life, I will choose her happiness over mine everytime
- You don’t have to bring a gun to a knife fight
- We bleed and fight for you; sometimes it seems that’s all we do
- My last thought is of Eliza; maybe I can get back home before she opens her eyes. They put us through our paces, we count to ten, God, I can’t wait to see her again
- But upstate you’re the rascal who trades away the capital- the asshole who taxes the a-a-alcohol
- PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES
Why did Splogger Elodie spend the entirety of Hamilton taking careful notes and weeping openly into the shoulder of the stranger next to her? So that she could do a little recon mission and gift you beautiful people with Ht the next-best thing: A TEXT RECAP. It’s no live performance, but we think you’ll agree that it’s basically just as good.
Slutshaming women is not ok Slutshaming Alexander Hamilton is totally ok Tumblr logic
he cheated. on his wife.
he’s also been dead for several hundred years this is the funniest post ive ever read in my life
fave things about this post:
- the idea that thousands of people are calling alexander hamilton a slut
- calling any founding father a slut
- the idea that people are SHAMING Alexander Hamilton for being Such A Slut he is being SHAMED for being such a naughty little tart, SPREADING HIS LEGS FOR EVERYONE IN CONGRESS
- that this was probably prompted by people expression dissaproval for Alexander Hamilton cheating on his wife - that the OP thinks “slut shaming” and “Isnt it gross that he cheated on his wife” are the same thing
- Alexander Hamilton has been dead for 210
- 210 slutty, slutty years
- the way that this is presented in such a CHECKMATE SJWS way when they’re talking about a founding father who cheated on his wife and has been DEAD FOR 210 YEARS
- the fact that the words “Slutshaming” and “Alexander Hamilton” have been used in the same sentence
- i mean just apply what we’d traditionally think of as “slut shaming” to Alexander Hamilton.
- His frock coat is too tight, his breaches are so short, have you SEEN how often he powders his wig??? I heard he gave Thomas Jefferson a handy behind the stables AND that he got fingered by John Hancock
- i barely know who alexander hamilton is
I was cleaning out my high school Google drive folders, and I just found my old study group’s guide for the AP US History exam. one of our notes is “if two people are arguing and you can only remember one of their names, the other is Alexander Hamilton.”
You know, I had always assumed that Hammy was an Internet nickname like TJeffs, but it turns out you learn something every day:

whoooooppsss my hand slipped ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
my favorite thing about alex and john is that laurens tries so hard to be chill and restrained and discrete in his letters and alex is just like “yo you know what’s big? my DICk wanna have a threesome babe i miss you so much i’m [redacted for his reputation’s sake] Love You”
after jefferson was elected, hamilton moved upstate and decided he wanted to start a vegetable garden. having no idea how to go about tending plants, he wrote to a friend of his, agriculture expert richard peters. this letter began
“in this new situation, for which I am as little fitted as Jefferson [is] to guide the helm of the U. States, i come to you as an adept in rural science for instruction”
this is a CALLOUT post
