Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

spitegoblin:

I’m curious– What style of clothing would y'all wear if public ridicule, financial limitations, and general inconvenience weren’t a thing?

I’d wear ball gowns; I’m talmbout big, flowy, fluffy chiffon and taffeta 1980s prom night sequined nightmares. Catch me buying Hot Pockets at the Wal*Mart looking like Jennifer Connelly’s hallucination in Labyrinth.

Put your answer in the tags!!

Anonymous asked: woo! update! i'm the one who sent in that ask (or as least a very similarly worded ask) but i didn't think you'd get around to answering it, so i'm super glad you did

Hey, I’m so glad you liked it!  I’m sorry it was…like…a million years late, but I swear to God I really am still working on that series, I’m just trying to write Too Many Fics at once right now.

Anonymous asked: Dear God. Hamilton and Jefferson in an econ class together with history on Hamilton's side. That is simultaneously the best and worst thing ever. Ham's ego able would cause most of the students to just say fuck it. I love it 🤣

GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT.

Honestly I’ve been planning for the two of them to be stuck in an Econ class together since the get-go.  On the one hand, the other students kind of need to know their shit in order to be able to keep up, so the people who stick it out probably Know Economics.  On the other hand…oh, God, that poor grad student.

corinnetags replied to your post “what is your thesis about that youre blogging about baron von steuben…”

Okay, I am going to need the link to your historically researched Hamilton fic. (Unless it’s The War series, I totally binged that last week)

Right, so, here’s the two halves of that Schuylkill fic I wrote once.

Here’s a Valley Forge fic I wrote another time.

Here’s the Monmouth smut fic I wrote once, and also on AO3 if you prefer that format.

In all of these, diversions from actual history or places where I don’t know specific details are usually noted, so don’t take them as gospel, but they’re as well researched as I could make them.

Aaaaand I think that’s pretty much what I’ve written that’s period Hamilton fic, and I think every bit of it’s been requested by @lathori because she puts up with A Lot of AmRev digressions.  Obviously there’s also the Star Wars AU (FYI that tag also contains the Borgias Star Wars AU I wrote because I screwed up the tags) and the AIOS AU but those aren’t historical.

Oh and of course here is my rant about the Baron von Steuben and the first underwear kegger in American history, for those of you who are interested in that situation.

Anonymous asked: so i'm assuming that all the reincarnated ham crew look like their musical actors, which, awesome. but i was thinking about jefferson, who was a racist fucker being reincarnated as a black man. like. how would that even go down?

*emerges from cave, shamefaced* Right, so, does anyone remember that this AU exists?  Because I swear to God I didn’t forget, I just only now have had the time.  I actually have a bunch of prompts for it, not all of them are going to get written based on…like…my inspiration level, but also this series is alive again, so like.  Yep.  Here is some Jefferson.  Full disclosure, I dislike Jefferson and think his economic plan was some racist bullshit, so…that is evident.

To all you newcomers, I do recommend reading the other stuff, even if you could probably figure it out.  

All In One Spot AU

So, the academic affairs office holds out longer than their predecessor.  Not by much, but by a little.  It takes two full weeks for Alex to hammer through his petition to be allowed to take more than max credits—and it’s quite a petition.  Angelica takes one look at the twenty-page, double-sided, single-spaced letter to the dean of academics and disavows any involvement, and John grins fondly, remarking that the dean has no idea what he’s gotten into.

The dean, incidentally, has lived his life with pleasantly dim memories of Philedelphia with cobblestone streets and a vague impression that he knows the unfortunate teacher annually strong-armed into teaching History of the American Revolution.  He recalls very little else of his time in the Continental Congress—indeed, at gunpoint he couldn’t have identified what exactly he was doing, back then.

He has a blindingly vivid flashback upon looking at the first page of the letter—the pamphlet, really—and immediately feeds the entire thing through his shredder.

“Jake,” he says, sticking his head out of his office to look at his secretary.

“Yes, sir?”

“Approve whatever Hamilton’s request was before he sends anymore letters.  I’ve seen enough for several lifetimes.”

“You got it, boss,” says Jake, whose past life was a blissfully unremarkable farmer in the Italian countryside and who therefore has no idea that his boss is sparing them all a lot of trouble.

Now, the reason this matters is because Alex walks into his Econ 101 class for the first time two weeks into the semester, takes one look at the lesson outline the grad student wrote on the board, and makes a sound of absolute incoherent horror.

“Oh my god,” Alex says faintly, frozen in place two steps inside the door.  He was never an especially religious person, but he’s wondering if maybe the universe is punishing him for past crimes.  He’s not saying one way or the other if he deserves it, but this seems excessive.  “Jefferson is haunting me from beyond the grave.”

That said, here are some Hamilton facts for y’all that are all true to life (picked from Chernow’s biography, which I read far too often) 

• Hamilton’s ship caught on fire on the way to America 
  

• Burr was the lawyer for Maria Reynolds in her divorce from James Reynolds
  

• At a ball prior to Hamilton and Eliza’s marriage, of which Angelica, Hamilton, and Peggy were attending together, Angelica dropped a garter and Hamilton, like a chivalrous hoe, swoops in to pick it up and Angelica teased him, “haha you’re not a knight of the garter” and peggy goes “nah but he’d be a knight of the bedroom if he could”
  

• I am deadass not making this up. she said that in real life (albeit with different wording) 
  

• One time at a debate, Burr was so pissed off at how Hamilton would never shut the fuck up, so he successfully tried to predict all the points he would make and countered them all, making it the only time Hamilton was ever left embarrassed and speechless 
  
  
• maria reynolds was a blonde
  
  
• hamilton was a ginger. dude had BRIGHT red hair and total mary-sue eyes because people described them as “violet-blue.” WHO HAS VIOLET BLUE EYES
  
  
• Hamilton BLASTED Eacker in the press after he killed Philip & roasted the shit out of him. dude was ANGRY 

• After his duel, when Hamilton was rowed across the Hudson, he was the one and only person to be calm, not panicked & not grief-stricken at the prospect of his death  

• Burr deadass wrote to the doctor tending Hamilton AS HE WAS DYING and said “yo i hope he’s okay” (again, different wording of course) 

• Prior to his death, one of Hamilton’s sons lawyered for Burr’s second wife, coincidentally named Eliza Jumel, in her divorce from him 
  

• Madison was pretty guilt-ridden after Hamilton died (he spread a lot of rumors about his treasury funds) and he went to visit Eliza & try to compensate her for Hamilton’s nonexistent money, as she was in a financial hole, & she goes “nah fuck off” (WORDING DIFFERENTLY OFC) and told him off for being a dick 

• Theodosia Burr died overseas a few years after Philip & Hamilton’s deaths
  

• When James Monroe came to apologize to Eliza later on in life, after Hamilton’s death, for how shitty he treated him, Eliza - a seventy year old woman at the time - basically said the 18th century version of “fuck you” and roasted his soul out of his body 
  
  
• what im trying to say is that lin portrayed everyone in the musical fuckin amazingly like Got Damn . there was A Lot of irl drama with these eighteenth century ninnies
