If nothing else, love Hamilton for having the direction [Eliza Schuyler beatboxes maternally].
If I ever needed proof that Lin-Manuel Miranda is the 21st century’s Shakespeare and Hamilton is just a straight up History play, this is it.

oh my god
in cabinet meetings, tradition states the secretary of state sits on one side of the president, and the secretary of the treasury sits on the other
george washington sat right in between hamilton and jefferson
honestly the precedent was probably set with this administration because he had to sit them apart so they wouldn’t punch each other

“Alexander Hamilton founded the New York Post” sounds a lot less impressive when you learn the rest of that sentence goes:
“so he could publicly talk smack about the other founding fathers”
Don’t u mean MORE impressive
He literally founded a newspaper that is still in circulation today
So he could shit talk his colleagues. Idk bout u, but most people I know just subtweet that now.
There was literally an article in this Sunday’s New York Post dragging Aaron Burr for saddling NYC with a grid system instead of wide Parisian boulevards. The first line was “We’ll never have Paris here in New York. But we could have … if not for Aaron Burr.” Marvelous. Hamilton’s ghost is weeping tears of joy.
This is the best addition to this post in 10,000+ notes and I would like to personally thank you for sharing this crucially important historical development
200+ years later and Burr still can’t catch a break from Alexander Hamilton’s legacy

The cast of Hamilton, obvs. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s face is on the 10$ bill.

whenever washington is in a position where his role as father is called into question i always think of lafayette

I think it’s great that now thousands of young people have weirdly specific knowledge of Alexander Hamilton’s life

Anonymous asked: Okay, so, question about the HamDevil AU (which is everything to me, by the way, I adore it): how the hell do clients react when they wander into dinky broken-down Nelson and Murdock and get told "This is Alex Hamilton, he'll be handling your case, if he gets off on a ramble ignore him, and make sure he puts the right year on your file because Karen might kill him if he keeps dating them 1804"?
I caught some time on my Singapore trip so I could answer this on my phone! so forgive me if it’s a bit scattershot.
by the time the story itself takes place, people have had some time to get used to the idea of a founding father hanging around New York fighting people, so it stands to reason he would’ve found work at some point. still, at first it wasn’t widely known that Alexander had started working at N&M, so the poor soul who walked in first right after the guy was hired probably nearly had a heart attack.
and word has a tendency to spread in Hell’s Kitchen, so N&M experienced a brief boom in popularity, during which a fuckload of clients specifically requested that Hamilton handle their cases. said clients v quickly found out that the musical was not exaggerating when it came to his, er, verbose tendencies.
