What the fuck WHAT THE FUCK

it's consuming my brain

So many.. opportunities....

Marvin, coming home from work: What should we order for dinner?

Whizzer, flipping through TV stations: Wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy.

Marvin:

Marvin: don't call me weatherboy

I just pictured Whizzer saying “Wouldn’t you like to know weatherboy” to Marvin and now it’s all I can think about

so, let's talk about the chess game a little more thoroughly

in the chess game (from falsettos, idk if that's apparently clear, "a chess game" could literally be anything lol) there's a pattern of impatience that follows the two main characters.

Marvin's impatience is fully one-sided, you can see as Whizzer begins the game, he's insistent for him to get his turn over with, even going so far as to (quite condescendingly) ask if Whizzer wants his help. But then the moment it's his turn, he takes his time despite Whizzer having rushed his first move.

I think this might stem from his constant need to "help", or rather, control every situation. He thinks it's always his job to be the leader of every circumstance, as the stereotypical man.

It definitely comes from a childhood of commanding others around and not having a heavy amount of discipline for his actions.

Otherwise, Marvin taking time to calculate his move shows that he's careful with his own placement in life. A life of tiptoing around himself and never actually accepting the full extent of his personality, or sexuality has made him incredibly courteous of where he stands. Maybe it even came from his relationship with Trina, how not being careful led him to being forced into an arranged marriage.

Meanwhile, (and I know I've gone through this bit before in other posts but yes, thanks, I need more appreciation on William Finn not just victimizing Whizzer. Like, he's not that great either guys. We love him, but he isn't perfect.) Whizzer uses the game as a strategy to get Marvin on his side.

Although instead of healthily sorting through his MASS amount of issues, Whizzer pretty much just ends up manipulating him into throwing the game. It's interesting because Whizzer has an opportunity to discuss all of the problems they have with Marvin.

They're in a place in their relationship where he can clearly just throw anything out there, but then he strikes back with anger instead of trying to actually figure out the main issues and help them both through it, effectively shutting off Marvin's ability to actually listen to anything he has to say.

The chess game was actually staged so perfectly, because you can clearly see all of the toxicity in one contained place during that song. There's obviously snippets in others, Marvin's inability to change and Whizzer's insistence not to change because changing would mean they would have to actually talk about their feelings toward each other.

anyways, these are just my thoughts on this :) none of its fully canon, I was just watching through clips of the proshot and realized some interesting things

I'm so glad I got you into this eeeeee :D

Suffer with me dear sir

falsettos has taken over my life

I like how, when they are at Jason’s baseball game, it’s just:

Whizzer: he is psychotic…but he is hot…sooo

and Marvin is just: he may look good but that bitch is gonna steal my money.

(refer to Whizzer, a little too happily: “just remember he’s psychotic” and Marvin, angrily: “he looks damn good but he’s cheep as dirt”

@takemebacktowheniwassane this is all your fault.

I YELLED SO LOUD WHAT IS THIS WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS SOONER?!?!?!

made these a while ago in october but figured i’d post here!! pixelsettos??

YES

i love you round tables square tables i love you everything will be alright i love you holding to the ground i love every single note of trinamarvin repairing their friendship

in fact, they do go on girls trips

marvin with the round spectacle glasses my beloved (I have this picture saved it's so dear to me)

they should go on a girls trip i think

once upon a full moon i had an idea for modernizing the main cast of characters from something rotten

christian borle's sexy shakespeare with iced coffee is somewhere in my old ibis paint files and i swear to god i will find him

can we though?

for a second?

and alternatively, can we discuss how whizzer is looking at marvin in this scene?

before marvin even turns, whizzer is looking at him with like- such a concerned and concentrated stare and it's because he's been in that hospital room for actual days just waiting for results.

he's genuinely worried about marvin, and he knows that he'll stay true to his words and won't leave whizzer's side despite the fact that his own mental and physical health are at risk.

he's pretty much just been slowly watching marvin get worse and worse (shown throughout the show, something i just think is kinda cool is that marvin gets... visibly more disheveled? or maybe that's just christian borle after like 7 costume changes i have no idea, either way tho).

can we talk about marvin looking all stressed but making sure to put on a smile before turning to whizzer

throwback to 4 different people saying if I was a falsettos character I would be marvin without hesitation

my Irish friend said I was jason incarnate

haha

ha-

oh boy

i actually identify so much with marvin from falsettos it’s unreal

watching waitress for the first time for the sake of the whizzvin '50s diner au me and my friend are making wish me luck

(I'm... making an animatic)

Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.

AO3 Comments are SO SO SOOOOOOO important because you can only leave Kudos ONCE. You add to the hit count ONCE (every 24 hours).

So whenever someone updates their fic, the ONLY way an author knows who their regular readers are is if they comment on each chapter. And we WANT to know who's still reading.

Believe it or not, some of us think about the name that pops up constantly in the comments and go "omg I can't wait to see what they think of THIS SPECIFIC SCENE cuz I KNOW they'll say something about it!!!"

i've been seeing a lot of falsettos posts recently deconstructing the fandoms beliefs and firstly

holy fuck thank you, i try to steer clear of fandom (and fandom-izing thereof) drama but this is getting a lot more visible recently so here's some little tidbits for you

whizzer brown is not an unflawed character!

okay so i haven't seen enough dissecting this but!!! in the chess game!

the whole point of marvin using that game to determine the ending of their relationship is because he suspects whizzer is constantly deceiving him and wants to prove it.

whizzer LITERALLY proves him right!

he asks marvin to help him along (yes i know he says he doesn't want help, hear me out, it's a little more complex than that) and takes advantage of the fact that marvin is- like- infatuated with him.

he draws him into a sense of false security then starts throwing accusations at him ("since you need a man!" "what?" "who's 'brainy'," "or witty, move.") until hes able to win, which he does with ease because he's been using marvin having this idea that he isn't smart against him.

of course, marvin's side of this isn't the best either but honestly, for once the fandom should focus on a different character when they think 'insane asshole'. typically we should also probably change our perspectives a little to be more unbiased cuz fr guys, this is getting really.. annoying.

i understand he's the most visibly flawed but that doesn't excuse constantly picking the worst parts of this musical (without other context, btw) to use against him.

and this post certainly isn't here to excuse anyone either i've just got a lot of opinions that i wanted to share while falsettos is.. trending? right?

2. marvin's (headcanoned but still somewhat researched) autism

this one isn't brought up as much but when i do see it around, it's kind of a skewed viewpoint.

while rewatching bits of the proshot i realized a lot of different neurodivergent traits that he shows-

he's helpless during I Never Wanted to Love You and is childish and regressive when he's upset (not every autistic person is like this either, i know this is a bit of a touchy subject so i just wanted to add that).

usually when people depict it i see it either toned down or joked about which is fine when all in good fun, and when its done respectfully.

not here to attack anyone, just here to point it out and say that yes :) he most likely is neurodivergent, but despite that his actions aren't condoned. he's still kinda a dick who needs to get his shit together

3. ..the lesbians also have shit going on?

just putting this out there- I DON'T SEE ENOUGH FOR THE LESBIANS! OR TRINA!

the girls in this musical are like thoroughly neglected and i think that's kind of shitty just assuming the fact that william finn put them in to demonstrate how gender roles put people in degrading positions (and he even makes it more prevalent by showing marvin as something like a misogynistic character who forces whizzer into more feminine roles to show the audience what woman have to/had to go through in society).

anyways, the lesbians aren't just there guys. they have a plotline too. in Something Bad is Happening, you derive a lot from charlotte singing about the outbreak of HIV/AIDS and realize how she operates on a daily basis (she's passionate about her work and takes every bad day as a hit to her life and career, explaining in a way that as a black, jewish, lesbian, FEMALE doctor in this time, everything that goes wrong is immediately brought down on her so much more than it would as any straight white male pharmacist-).

cordelia on the other hand has to handle the fact that her girlfriend is so adamant about her work ethic that she can't actually be super present in their relationship at times like that.

but either way she still sticks by her and is constantly trying to be supportive and endearing despite feeling like she's not amounting to her gf who's basically a hero in her eyes.

i kinda just wanted to bring that up because they mean a lot to me and they don't get enough love from the fanbase, thank you for listening to my TED talk <3

William Finn wya
