I Picked Up A Pen, I Wrote My Own Deliverance

something about “you told me once a fallen woman should be forgiven” “but I didn’t say that I could forgive… I can’t” is really doing something right now

who in god’s name has the BALLS to look lin-manuel miranda dead in the eye and shit talk his show like bitch one time i talked too loudly about how much i loved santino fontana at a show and then turned around and he was sitting behind me and i felt like i needed to go into the witness protection program

“Can we forget that conversation ever happened?” SURE RIGHT AFTER I TELL THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND ROBOTS ON TWITTER

i legit didn’t even realize this was Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeting at first and i was appalled that anyone would be such a condescending ass to another theatregoer. AND THEN I SAW THAT IT WAS LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA AND I WAS LIKE. SIR. SIR, YOU DO NOT GO UP TO THE OSCAR WILDE OF OUR TIME AND SHITTALK THE THEATRE ARE YOU MAD

amazing how this site can go apeshit over musicals every day but never remember Telephone Wire from Fun Home when Alison Bechdel shifts between “say something talk to him” and “say something talk to ME” and then just says anything in such a crushed voice

Say what you want about Hamilton but there are some RAW lines in it. The entirety of Wait For It is just!!!! Like, “Death doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints. It takes and it takes and it takes, but we keep living anyway.” makes me FEEL things. Or, “If there’s a reason I’m still alive, when everyone who loves me has died, then I’m willing to wait for it.” And that one line, “I imagine death so much, it feels more like a memory.” Just ,,,, stirs my feelings you know???

Don’t forget “When my prayers to God was met with indifference, I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance” like… damn

honestly, i still think SO MUCH about Your Obedient Servant. Like, the polite classical chords as a thin veneer of civility over the unfiltered rage. “I am slow to anger, but I… toe the line, when I reckon with the effects of your life on mine” “even if i said what you think i said, you would have to cite a more specific grievance, here’s an itemized list of 30 years of disagreements.” like, the SALT! the verbal gymnastics! the smokescreen of politeness they both insist on having! it’s iconic, and salty as hell and i am living for it

*softly* Immigrants, we get the job done

YES and also from We Know there’s like a set of lines like “I kept a record of every check in my checkered history check it again against your list and see consistency/I never spent a cent that wasn’t mine, you sent the dogs after my scent that’s fine” which is so incredibly creative of Lin-Manuel Miranda to come up with!!! There’s like three separate rhyme scemes going on at once, five different ‘eck’ sound uses, and cent/sent/scent are all used in the same sentence. All while still keeping up with the plot and making sense!!!

When you knock me down i get the fuck back up

Can we just admit that Hamilton was really good actually and doesn’t deserve most of the hate it got

Hamilton always was good but because it became mainstream and popular people decided that it wasn’t good anymore

My favorite line is always “Why do you write like you’re running out of time?”
