Okay so like this was made for the Instagram trend thingy but I also wanted to incorporate it with Tumblr's layout :D

Idk if it works but hey at least I tried

ALSO QUICK RAMBLE!!

Hamilton and Burr's whole motifs are related with time

"Why do you write like you're running out of time"

"Just you wait"

"I'm willing to wait for it"

So I represented both as different time devices

Hamilton is a stopwatch, because y'know the whole running out of time thing. It's always used for a deadline or a plan, so it can give off a feeling of ambition or determination. While also giving off a vibe of urgency and pressure.

Burr is an hourglass. Patient and slow. But it builds up over time. It's also very delicate. One drop and the whole glass shatters, needing to be rebuilt. This can be interpreted as Burr's strategy whenever he fails, he stops and rethinks his entire plan and rebuilds a new goal.

Additionally, hourglasses are asymmetrical. Lin explained once that he wrote Burr to be asymmetrical. And an hourglass never always has the same grains of sand on each side (at least not often). So yeah bonus points there :D

Also Eliza has a time motif too

"It's only a matter of time"

I haven't decided on a time device for her just yet but so far I'd probably choose a grandfather clock. Stable, welcoming/homey, and from my research it can last very long. And she lived the longest.
