Hamilton and Warriors

Guess that we (the whole Warriors fandom) have made comparisons between Phillipa's roles in each story: Eliza and Fox. Eliza had time so she didn't have to rap in any song. Fox didn't had time and in her final moments she rapped. Guess that we all are aware of that, but what about the youngests of both shows? Yes, I'm talking about Fox and Phillip. Well...

• They were kids, young, with a great future to live

• They died protecting their families (well, Phillip was trying to save his father's legacy. But it's similar)

• They probably wanted to prove themselves

• Both are called "fox" ("They call me Fox!" In "Warriors' Cypher" / "God, you're a fox!" In "Blow us all away")

• They both flirted with someone (Fox to Sully, with a bit of help with Swan; and Phillip with the girls that told him Eacker was watching a show in the song)

• And both talked or sang with Sasha Hutchings. Reminder that Sasha was a dancer in "Hamilton", and she is Cowgirl in "Warriors" now

I'll probably make other comparisons between both shows. Also, guess that the Marliza got cannon, Jasmine was Maria Reynolds in the OBC and Julia got to play Elizabeth Schuyler

One of the songs off of LMM's Warriors concept album was stuck in my head yesterday and i was thinking about how ive never seen the movie but i had memories of it like scene by scene . And i know it's not the Regular Show ep because this was live action.

Then I realised. What We Do in the Shadows. They scene by scene broke down a movie to fit the episode. The Baron was Cyrus. And ofc the Staten Island vamps would be the Warriors. No one takes them seriously

was thinking again about lin manuel miranda's character in house and how that even came about so i did some digging and, yeah, it's the funniest possible result

like lin manuel did not ask for this. there was no pre-existing connection to anyone on the show. the writers just had to have a conversation about who house's roommate would be in rehab and someone was like 'oh, yknow what would be fucking insane?'

I cannot explain how much I wish I was there to witness the OBC of In The Heights do Blackout. Like imagine having no idea what's gonna happen, the lights go out, you think it's a blackout, but it's actually THE BEST FUCKING SONG EVER LIKE WHAT THE FUCK

Overanalyzing the political messaging in a 4-ish minute medley because I can

So. Hamilton, huh? 10-year-old Broadway titan and the main reason why I started overanalyzing musicals (thanks Lin)

In honour of Hamilton's tenth anniversary this year, the OBC got together for a reunion performance at the Tony Awards. They had a 4-ish minute segment of the award show, which was taken up by a medley of some of the more popular songs from the show. And that's the end of it, just a celebration of the show being around for a decade, right?

Nope.

If there's anything I've learned from my old Hamilton hyperfixation, it's that not one thing in Lin-Manuel Miranda's work is accidental. Mans has a very specific reason for literally everything in his work. Lin is also very outspoken about how he's not exactly a fan of the Fascist Tangerine, so he used this performance to tell us exactly how he feels about the current administration because of-fucking-course he did.

First off, the clothes. The entire cast was wearing black, except for Jonathan Groff, King George III, who was in a red suit jacket. The King was wearing the colour of the Republican party. As for everyone else wearing all black, something something "mourning the democracy that the people they're portraying fought for or that they had in 2015" something something.

On top of that, the second-to-last song that has a part in the medley is History Has Its Eyes On You. But something's different. Normally, it's staged so Washington is facing Hamilton and giving him what amounts to a pep talk before Yorktown. But in Saturday's performance, Chris Jackson is facing the audience. As if the talk is meant for us this time. Mind you, this is the part of the song that Lin chose to use:

Let me tell you what I wish I'd known, When I was young and dreamed of glory, You have no control who lives, who dies, Who tells your story

I know that we can win I know that greatness lies in you But remember from here on in, History has its eyes on you

That feels pretty damn pointed to me. Also, as someone on TikTok pointed out (because I didn't notice right away), the lights at the back of the stage that turn on at the very end (after the last "I am not throwing away my shot!" from the end of Non-Stop) look an awful lot like the front of the White House at night.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk lol

Fox, reading a recipe: Beat three eggs?

Rembrandt: It means like in hand-to-hand combat.

Fox: Ohhhh-

Mercy: Both of you get out of this kitchen.
