         ‘ please, mrs. hamilton, you shouldn’t worry about me. ‘ a fallen woman, that was what they called her. while benedict had fled to england, she had remained in america. a turncoat married to a turncoat. but no one knew of her involvement in assisting the patriots, at least, no one outside of washington and a select few others. they don’t knew she she was the wife of benedict arnold. a pariah of society. ‘ i’ll be alright. ‘

@lettergave​: 🍓 / me, mayhaps ??

an originally white character that somebody racebends does not make them any more interesting if you don’t actually do something with that change.  how does that affect their origin story?  their relationships and how they were treated in society?  how does it change how they look at the world?  like, i love diversity and i’m all for it but sometimes people do it for brownie points and it shows ------ and honestly a bunch of people let that slide so easily??  making a white character black / asian / hispanic / middle eastern / native will inevitably change things about the character and it’s really disrespectful to just ignore that.  you really have to do your research on how to portray a certain non-white ethnicity properly and respectfully, and if you’re not sure about something you can always ask around, or else it defeats the purpose of diversifying a character in the first place.

The moments in which Alexander could work from home were moments he cherished a lot. It permitted his children to walk into the office on occasion and seek his attention, which was sometimes a very welcome short distraction. His wife had his back with that and so many other things, though, ensuring the children would not disturb him when important business was to be done and given the fact that they had a few little mouths to feed, there was a lot of work to be done to have enough money in their pockets to do so and keep a good roof over their head. He did mention to Eliza that he wanted to buy or build her a house one day, with a garden and a barn. That in itself was not cheap. He would manage somehow. But he knew there was no way he would manage without the literal angel by his side.
