Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Happy Birthday, sj!
Apparently, that Hamilton fic wank is from 2017. But really, isn't it timeless?
I think my favorite part is that the person who uncovered the whole thing did it as revenge, because they were made to delete that Lin-Manuel Miranda/Thomas Jefferson fic.
I've literally never seen the phrase "gentrifying cannibalism" before.
Via fellating mermaids, no less.
I just hope G*s is out there somewhere, seeing himself as a sorryass slacker where internet frauds are concerned.

Wait, that's not us. Nevermind.
Heh.
LOL, Atropa.
ok, reading that link right after watching the video behind the I Am Legend trend is a lot.
The people on twitter needing to be extra by posting all their Hamilton criticism is @@.
Coming at LMM for selling to Disney, for "glorifying" slave owners, for "exploiting" POC by having them play and glorify the slave owners.
Then even saw someone coming after his Dad, saying as a property owner he profited off PR stuff related to hurricane relief. I don't even know. Some people are miserable people.
It's so frustrating because there are legit conversations to be had, and that's not how to have them. Nuance, as it turns out, is a thing. (I mean, the "exploiting" thing is just dumb, and a whole other kettle of fish)
There's a Time interview with Daveed about Jefferson, and I'd love to see extended versions of that, as well as with Chris Jackson about Washington. They're smart guys and lived with the complication for a long time, and I'm sure they have things to say, even if they're not exactly the things people want to hear.
The "Hamilton's America" doc on PBS had a section where Chris Jackson talked about the contradiction of this heroic character he played, who also owned people like him. It showed him visiting the slave quarters on exhibit at Mt Vernon, and admitting he couldn't really reconcile the two sides.
Also, all the Hamilton talk has me me hear Jefferson singing the thread title everytime I read it.
Yes the people are being simplistic and more than a few of them think it makes them look edgy and/or smart. I think also some are doing it in hopes of clicks and followers. just ridic.
I'm a bad mom who let ltc watch Hamilton with us. She was mostly ignoring the action on the screen and dancing around to the music, until the end with the final duel and she realized Hamilton died Then she burst into tears and had to be consoled.
