the fact that caleb is so socially inept that he goes to yasha with her whole entire 7 charisma and decided ‘yeah this ex circus bouncer knows what she’s doing she’s the social touchstone I’m gonna use to reorient myself into polite society’ is just…. it’s so fukcing… good. look at her eat that rat off the floor. this is clearly a woman about town. teach me your ways.
million dollar idea: instead of spending thousands of dollars on steady-cam equipment, filmmakers should just attach a camera to the head of a chicken and carry the chicken around as you film.
As you’re probably aware, Tim spent the last couple of weeks picking through the first half of issue #36 in excruciating historical detail, but that doesn’t mean your regularly scheduled programming gets abandoned. Alex has already offered up his thoughts on how the progression of time is shaping this arc, and now Tim is casting his eyes over the back half of the issue. Spoilers for up to and including issue #36, of course.
There is nothing more infectious than the joy and love that the LGBTQ community exudes. I grew up with a gay brother whose every move I would emulate. I idolized him. Everything Frankie did, I would do. I can’t remember a difference between Frankie before he came out and Frankie after he came out. He’s always just been Frankie. Sexuality and gender were never topics my family and I were afraid to discuss. When Frankie came out my surprisingly unfazed (for his age) grandfather said “Congrats! Can we go to dinner now? I’m fuckin’ hungry.”
I was taught to do my makeup by queens in gay bars in New York City. I made my Broadway debut at 14 years old and did 8 shows a week but there was never a night I was too tired to run to a gay bar and do a quick Whitney cover before bed. My music being embraced and celebrated by the LGBTQ community is all I ever truly cared about when I thought about my career goals early on. There’s no award I could win or accolade I could receive that would fulfill me more than seeing a 6-foot queen with a 4-foot ponytail walk into my meet n greet and say “hey girl” or meeting a young queer person at Starbucks and them letting me know that my music has helped them become who they are. Literally nothing. Love is like music. It knows no boundaries and isn’t exclusive to any one gender, sexuality, race, religion, age or creed. It’s a freedom and a delicious luxury that all people should be able to sink into and enjoy every moment of. I am eternally indebted to and inspired by the LGBTQ community. I hope to create anthems for you that wrap you up with comfort and make you get your best life for as long as I live. Thank you for celebrating me the way I celebrate you.
I love you forever.

the reason both Congratulations and First Burn had to be cut/changed is because if they left both in the show, Hamilton wouldn’t have survived to duel Burr, he would’ve just died on the spot right there
