Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends

Reblog if you want your body to be modified into an eldritch horror creature with many limbs.

Ok very much like when Patroclus died, I very much like Achilles will have a mental breakdown thank you very much(also the analysis is really great)

Hamilton was Achilles or Patroclus for you?

Achilles, I suppose. Because Patroclus already has many parallels to Laurens; like the issues with his father, and he acts as Achilles emotional support in the Iliad. But also the matching aspect of Patroclus dying in battle and Achilles' mental breakdown afterwards.

Also the pipeline of Achilles being compared to Alexander the great, and Hamilton being compared to Alexander the great.

Reblogging is too much fun at this point

I’ll always be thinking about how Evan Evagora declared ‘Lovefool’ by The Cardigans as Nick’s favourite song.

lycaon's curse

even a man who is pure at heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the moon is shining bright.

given how the game did nick dirty on account of making him a basic plot-explaining tool, I'm gonna go ahead and headcanon a whole lycaon-the-first-werewolf-related greek au for him and yes, there are curses, mischief, gods and goddesses

so, some history first. lycaon, an arcadian king, is considered to be the first werewolf, and though sources differ on what exactly happened, two things are clear:

he offered zeus a meal of human flesh;

as punishment, zeus turned him into half-man, half-wolf, to show his beastly nature. supposedly, the silver aversion is a part of the whole 'you shall never eat like a man again [that is, from a silver plate], but will feast like an animal instead' thing.

some sources say initially, lycaon wanted to gain the gods' blessings in order to restore the once-prosperous land, and zeus favoured him because lycaon built him a grand temple. however, lycaon became obssessed with the idea of worshipping gods to the point of making human sacrifices and killing visitors of his land.

anyway, look at this awesome art by Sirmaril7. the turning of lycaon. i'm in awe.

so imagine young nikolaos, a descendant of the great king lycaon, unknowingly carrying the curse in him. zeus being a vindictive bitch, he curses the whole bloodline (although it's also said that lycaon bit his 50-something children, so), yet the wolf curse does not reveal itself so many generations after.

nikolaos is a soft-tempered young man, hard-working and honest, and shining. he is what's called beautiful rather than handsome. his beauty, people say, outshines the sun itself.

apollo, the god of the sun and a son of zeus (who as we remember is vindictive bitch, so), is angry with nikolaos as no one dares to be superior to a deity. having uncovered the secret of nikolaos's legacy, he tricks him the same way lycaon tried to trick zeus.

you see, nikolaos is very much in love with abigaia, a kind-hearted, flame-haired girl who loves him just as much. on the day of their wedding, apollo comes down from the sky to bless the pair, and a whole marvelous feast appears, magnificent at sight, rotten with a dark twist within. unknowongly, nikolaos eats human flesh, and the moment he does, lycaon's curse returns.

nikolaos is transformed into a brutal wolf, a creature so monstrous it wouldn't dare to even see the light of day, not to mention outshine the sun. horror-stricken, the creature runs to the wilderness to bury itself in shadows.

let's not forget about abigaia, though. for days, she wonders the woods trying to find the trail of her lost lover, yet she's never closer than the yellow gleam of his eyes, too far away from her. nikolaos is so afraid to harm his beloved, he runs further and further. he does not trust the beast and is ashamed of his own monstrosity. grieving, he howls day and night, until even magical creatures avoid his presense.

abigaia makes an offering to apollo and asks him to lift the curse, yet he is adamant. a wounded pride does not heal easily. other gods do not intervene. to them, humans are but sparks of falling stars against the vast night sky, their mortal woes too insignificant against eternal life. finally, abigaia pleads the goddesses of the moon to oppose apollo and take the curse away. artemis, the hunting goddess of the halfmoon and a twin sister to apollo, refuses her plea. hecate, the magic goddess of the dark moon and a cousin to apollo, also refuses. but selene, the goddess of the full moon, takes pity on her.

selene weaves the threads of the curse and binds them to herself, taking apollo's power in their never-ending day and night, sun and moon confrontation. she makes it that for almost thirty days, nikolaos remains human as he's always been, but when selene comes to take the sky, she takes him with her. on those nights, nikolaos is to lose all humanity and run with the moon in his beastly form. to spare him the horror, she makes him forget the night.

and so nikolaos is able to return to his beloved abigaia, and their reunion is celebrated so, that even mystical creatures of the forests and rivers join them for festivities. nikolaos's bloodline continues, and abigaia gives birth to four strong, handsome boys. and everything is well.

when the boys come of age, they join their father for a run under the moon, and when he cannot run anymore, four wolf cubs repay his eternal gratitude to selene by taking his place.

today on "my thoughts on Hamilton": Hamilton and Laurens

I'm not getting into the historical facts and theories about these two, but imo they were lovers

the first time I watched the musical I was actually kinda disappointed in the lack of subcontext they showed. there isn't even that much gaybaiting.

then I thought "well its hard enough to establish a show with a almost all POC cast, that's also breaking traditional musical rules. give em a break"

it would have also undermined Alex' devotion to Eliza from the very beginning so probably wouldn't been the best idea story telling wise.

but then I watched it again and i noticed some looks, "Lauren's i like you a lot" and so on - BUT most importantly I wanna talk about their costumes.

when burr introduces Hamilton to Laurens, Lafayette and Mulligan they very soon form a friendship quartet. something bugged me while watching for the first time, but it took me a rewatch to realise what it was.

Lafayette is wearing blue (idk if this is nod to him being French, for me the association is there), Mulligan is wearing green so you'd kinda expect Ham and Laurens to wear red and yellow to complete the google/windows -esque primary colours scheme... and they kinda do. depending on light and shadow their coats appear more yellow-ish or red-ish. but that's the thing! they BOTH wear brown-ish/orange-y coats. they're not the same but they're WAY more similar to each other than anyone else coats.

maybe I'm over-analysing and it doesn't have to mean anything... but I really like the idea of their costumes hinting at something more between these two

Nick Furcillo As a Booknerd Headcanons

So, when I wrote The Different Types of Intelligence the Hacketteers Would Have, I mentioned how I believe that Nick would be a massive booknerd and have high linguistic intelligence. Today, I thought I would fangirl some more over a fellow Aussie and expand upon some of my headcanons for him. Some of these are based off of my own experience as an avid reader, however, I have tried to mostly just include what I believe he would enjoy reading based off his character.

So let’s get into the nerding out!
