I'd like to introduce to everyone this horrid thing I created about a year ago but haven't shown many people yet (probably for the best).

This is Baby. AKA The Monster. AKA Sight Tremendous and Abhorred, AKA Vile Insect, AKA A Thing Such As Even Dante Could Not Have Conceived, etc, etc. It's made from bits of scrap fabric I scrounged from various sources and is roughly the size of a human toddler. Its design is based on Mary Shelly's original descriptions of Frankenstein's creature.

But that's not all! Behold!

You can dissect this little abomination to reveal a full set of crocheted, knitted, and scrap fabric organs, all hand-stitched by yours truly!

It has a heart, stomach, lungs, liver, small and large intestine, kidneys, bladder, and, of course, a brain! So it can ponder the horrors of its own existence!

I used this pattern by Less Than Three for the heart. I ended up felting it because I screwed up most of the stitches (I was relatively new to crochet at the time). The result was a bit of a blobby mess, but oh well.

So yeah. This thing lives in my house now (my family hates it). I have yet to reap the full consequences of my hubris.

A really great device that they use in Hamilton is in the beginning of Room Where it Happens. Hamilton is isn’t paying attention at all to what Burr is saying about the general. Even the word “legacy” isn’t what makes him jump up and pay attention to what Burr is saying. It’s the word “die” that snaps him out of his head and gets him interacting with the conversation. It perfectly captures his intense fear of death or the fear of death WITHOUT a legacy. It also tells us his focus on a legacy is completely overshadowed by his personal obsession with death. DEATH is the REASON he wants to build a legacy. That sort of end goal is the only thing that could be more important to him than a legacy. That very line of thinking is not only what eventually kills him, but also the legacy he wanted. Everyone in this show thinks Hamilton is obsessed with his legacy but the thing REALLY pulling the strings here is the phantom of death. Lines and details like that add such a skillful level of subtext to any form of storytelling. You get so much from so little
