I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.
- Angelica Schuyler was a slave owner
- Alexander Hamilton rented slaves
- Do I really need to say anything about Washington, Jefferson, or Madison
- Alexander Hamilton was not an advocate for immigrants. In fact, he pushed laws that would harm immigrants because he feared the effect they would have on his political career
- Angelica Schuyler was actually friends with Jefferson, which is its whole separate thing
- The Schuyler family had their fortune built off of slaves, which Hamilton benefitted from when he married Eliza
- Hercules Mulligan owned a slave (His name was Cato. He was a spy in the Revolution, and you should definitely look into him!)
I love the musical, but please remember to treat this subject with respect. The musical characters are fictional counterparts to their historical ones. View the fictional characters how you want, but remember how horrible the real people were. Angelica would not have fought for slaves rights, she owned her own. Hamilton wouldn't help immigrants because he was one, he created laws that still harm them to this day. The musical is beautiful, but take off the rose tinted glasses when you analyze the historical figures and their actions. Enjoy the musical, remember the history.
Well this is just entirely in character for both of them.

you know who’s gay? paul the real estate novelist who never had time for a wife and davey who’s still in the navy and probably will be for life
I feel like this would be me in the situation. On both sides, no less.
Comedy at its finest.
Raoul: Come now, I wasn’t that drunk.
Erik: You tried to color my face with a highlighter because you thought I was important.
Raoul *choking up*: BUT YOU ARE!!!
Please, does anyone out there have a gif from that PotO ballet? Specifically, the one where Erik and Madame Giry are having that fucking hilarious fight on the rooftop?
