I read today that Hamilton’s “Uh do whatever you want, I’m super dead” line was apparently inspired by Griffin McElroy, and now I can’t…not…know that. It’s like finding a weird, impossibly shaped puzzle piece that allows my mind to connect “I am inimitable, I am an original” to “you wanna fuck an onion” with frightening ease. It has possibly changed my perspective on Hamilton more than any other reference in the show???
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”
Go awf CJack go awf!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Trump supports safe spaces pass it on.

Congratulations, Hamilton, on 11 Tony Award wins! #YayHamlet
Of COURSE! The livestream crashed right as the Obama’s finished speaking. For those of you who were in the same boat: here we go…
hamilton + onion headlines
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?
Schuyler defeated
Did you guys missed me? Because I missed making those stupid comics for sure
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.
