Favorite thing that John Laurens did historically?

Guys, I gotta admit, for such a huge John Laurens fan (both musical version and historically) I barely know about ANYTHING he did irl other than write essays against slavery, recruit 3000 men for the first all black military regiment, witness wayyy too many of his siblings die, be in love with hamilton, and be a kickass soldier. (Oh and the whole marrying out of pity and then never visiting his daughter thing. And the sexism, but I'd rather not dwell on that -_-)

AND THE TURTLE DRAWINGS MUAHAHAHA (guys I'm kidding I know he wasn't actually obsessed with turtles, but he did love art and nature, right?)

WAIT I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING OMG-

So I once read a Tumblr post about historical John Laurens being left handed (there's an amazing depressedrevolutionariesinlove comic about this too !!), and more specifically about one time when he got injured in his right shoulder in the midst of battle, and just tossed his sword to his left hand and absolutely ANNIHILATED the soldiers he was fending off. Imagine their absolute SHOCK when they think they've won because "hahaha his sword hand is knocked out" and then BOOM he's even better with his left? 😂

I'd link the post if I remembered where it was from arghhh, possibly @john-laurens? (GREAT blog by the way)

I also read part of the SALTIEST letter from Laurens to Kinloch once, but unfortunately don't remember where I could find it or what exactly it was about, other than this man's passive agressivness was through the ROOF lol (does anyone know what I'm talking about?)

So, in hindsight after writing this essay (😭), I do know quite a bit about John Laurens... but I still feel like there's SOOO much I don't know (and plz correct me if I got anything wrong in this post!) Also, I'd LOVE to hear any funny or notable stories you guys have about him!! :D

What's your favourite historical John Laurens moment (moots and random people who see this)??

Maybe we could make a chain!!! :DDD

Also just a lil note in closing, my favourite thing about him historically is probably his bravery, passion for justice/abolitionism, and love for hamilton because live laugh lams <3

at risk of losing his ‘red haired’ title from how green jealousy makes him

[rataccatak]

this is so absurd and plausible, it's making me lose my shit laughing

I was talking to a friend and realized I never explained my bonkers “Plague Doctor is building up to an X-man storyline” theory, so here goes:

1. The first arc introduces the central conflict of Sergey trying to get the orphanage reopened. This gets sidetracked by chasing the Dagbaevs and is never resolved.

2. The crossover arc introduces a bunch of superpowered kids with no families and malicious adults in charge of them. Three kids are shown, and it’s suggested that experiments are continuing on children. All the people Lera has rescued from Machaon so far are adults, so an unknown number of superpowered orphans are still out there somewhere.

3. The Machaon arc has a whole aside making sure we know that there are two guys with superpowers hanging around who would, in an ideal world, be teachers.

So you know what I’m thinking…

RIIIIISE UP INTO MY

no but i’ll never get over radovid saying song of the seven is his favourite, like apart from the hidden message, how. the entire idea of radovid being a fan in a world without sound recording is funny enough, imagining he forces the bard of tretogor to play his songs up and down, but that song? the bard will show up at his party like “there’s a new song my grace but uuuh i’m not quite sure” and radovid’s like “you know your orders my man” and then he performs this non-humans rebellion song with a red face and all the nobles at the party are extremely uncomfortable but radovid just claps excitedly in his fake-drunk demeanor and yells “AGAIN!!!” and then headbangs to “WE WILL RIIIIISE” like an absolute madman while the bard’s voice is shaking with fear of the guards telling the king about this. and the nobles just think that he’s an absolute imbecile while he’s fetishizing the uprising of the oppressed to cope with his own confinement forcing him to pretend to be a drunken fool. i am obsessed.

RiseXIDW Crossover

So I’m always writing or picturing TMNT stuff in my head all the time. I’ll write and animate crossovers in my head. I’m currently writing/imagining a Rise IDW crossover in my head. Here’s a little scene from it that I thought was hilarious. Here’s a little context first: Two rise turtles got captured by the Mutantimals (because I love separating the turtles and having at least one held hostage for some reason) We’re at issue 110 (I think) and IDW Leo is sneaking into the Mutanimals facility to eventually overhear Hob ordering Stone and Night to infiltrate the Splinter Clan dojo. Now let’s get onto the scene :)

Leonardo made his way to the room the bulldog had told him to go to. Everything is going to plan, the blue-masked turtle thought as he slipped through the dimly-lit hallway. He was almost there when he heard some obnoxious singing. Normally, the ninja wouldn’t stop just for annoying singing, but something seemed to pull at him. Leonardo tried to shove down the feeling and continued on. However, before he could take another step, the lyrics to the song brought him to a halt. “Go ninja, go ninja, go!” The voice sang, the sound vibrating through the hall. There was a pause before another voice started singing. “Go ninja, go ninja, go.” The new voice sounded flatter and quieter than the last one. Leonardo thought he could also hear beatboxing in the background. What the shell is going on? The turtle thought crossly before turning back down the hall. Are the Mutanimals trying to make fun of ninjas or something? He meant to continue on, but the first mysterious singer’s words stopped him once more. “Riiiiise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. Rise baby, rise baby!” Whistling joined the song at some point. The second voice started singing. “Donnie and his backup turtle!” This made Leonardo’s heart race. Why were they singing about Donnie? And wasn’t a teenage mutant ninja turtle exactly what he was? “Heroes in a half-shell, turtle power!!!” The voices sang together, the last few words echoing into silence. Until the peace was shattered by the pounding of hands on metal. “SHUT UP YOU TURTLES!” Someone screamed. “Or I’ll tape your mouths shut!” Leonardo had an inkling of who might be singing. Don’t worry, guys. I’ll come back for you.

And that’s it! Can anyone take a guess at who’s captured and annoying the shit out of the Mutanimals? 😉

RIIIIISE UP into my WORRRLLLLD 👆🏾👼

Hiii I saw your tags on my post and!!! You are actually right on the money with the thought of Giroro and Momoka being pals in the human swap au I mentioned! (woah! same thought process!) he'd totally have his tent on the lawn of the mansion. I can see it! The idea of Giro finally being coaxed inside only for him to just set up his tent on the floor somewhere is also funny to think about. The road to domestication is a long one.

for your curiosity, my working ideas for the swaps are:

dororo with saburo

giroro and momoka

fuyuki and kururu

natsumi and tamama

and then keroro with koykui.

i think the first few swaps are fairly solid but i gotta think some more on what a dynamic between keroro and koyuki would be. (i thought about just keeping keroro with the hinatas but then it wouldn't be much of a change from canon) (must make it so silly)

LET ME TELL YOU i havent stopped thinking about this au idea since you brought it up in these tags. its SOOO GOOD for giroro and momoka i think the nishizawas would make him sit down in the white stool and chairs they show in some episodes n he would have tea parties with momoka n be sooo grumpy about it. this cute fancy life is sooo not for him!! but when momoka would go into her angry mode he would CHEER HER THE FUCK ON. RIIIIISE. RIIIISE. i also thought of tamama and natsumi because their contrast is so silly (someone who idolizes keroro vs his #1 hater) and it does make me wonder if natsumi would have any influence on tamamas opinion of keroro i love seeing fuyuki and kururu together in the rare times that it happens (episode 134..... so perfect!!!) so they would be so perfect as an official duo. i think kururu would probably help fuyuki be less of a pushover + fuyuki would be SOOO interested in all the things kururus working on and tinkering with im suprised that i havent seen a swap au before to be honest.... i am SOOOO on board for one its so much freakin fun
