1776 moments/theories that I love:

-McKean holding onto Rodney as he stands up to say “yea”

-McKean would have shot Read if Rodney wasn’t in the picture.

-Thomson is conflicted about weather he’s in love with Washington or Hancock. But eventually he realizes he’s more in love with Hancock and that’s why he always looks at Hancock in affectionate ways.

-Rutledge staring at Hall throughout the film.

-When Hall comes in at night to tell Adams he’s figured things out, I personally believe that he was sleeping with Rutledge at that time.

-The Rutledge/Hewes relationship mirrors The Dickinson/Wilson relationship, because Dickinson never lets Wilson speak and interrupts him, and Rutledge never lets North Carolina/Hewes vote for themselves and basically votes FOR them and forces Hewes to say “nay”

-The reason Thomson is so prissy and acts annoyed most of the time is because Hancock probably turned him down or he’s too afraid to ask him out.

-Wilson is autistic and he doesn’t understand the concept of not seconding his delegates own motion.

-Hopkins secretly picking up a pint of Rum and motioning to Morris to not tell Hancock about it.

-Rutledge fell in love with Hall the second he laid eyes on him.

-Hopkins knew what was going on immediately and that’s why he interrupted Hall and Rutledge’s little moment after “your servant, Mr Rutledge”

-Franklin and Adams cuddled while in New Brunswick.

-After Franklin yells at Adams, Adams probably cries for a minute before running up to the bell tower.

-When Rodney is introducing Hall to Wilson, Dickinson is speaking to Rutledge in the background, probably convincing Rutledge to ask Hall out.

-Thomson wearing his hat while walking into independence hall 🫶🏻😭

who are these DIVAS 💜 ???

I realized the 1776 fandom is heavily lacking edits. So I took my jar of editing skills off the shelf, dusted it off and got to work all last night. I spent AGES sifting through the movie to find clips of these two as for editing I didn't do anything too fancy besides the brat text as this is a warm up. Anyways..enjoy Rutledge & Dickinson being the sassiest duo alive!

Today in 1776 these daddies got together on Staten Island to discuss a truce but nothing was agreed to....

[silliestcolressfan]

I gave one of my ocs and older brother and he's literally inspired off of Edward Rutledge

Also yes, I am a gacha kid :3

Showing Molasses to Rum to students round 14 or something

My poor class is probably scarred I feel so bad for having to play this so many times lol

puzzling decision by the 1997 cast recording of 1776 to change the 5/4 section of molasses to rum (the auction) to 7/4.

Most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor. And that is why they will follow us to the right, ever to the right, never to the left!

Very good movie.

[fetchmearum420]

I was just watching Falsettos for the billionth time and while sobbing during “What Would I Do?” I started imagining Rutledge and Hall singing it. Like Rutledge is Marvin and Hall is Whizzer.

“Who would I be, if I had not loved you? How would I know what love is?”

I cried even more.

Here's a crack 1776 prompt that my brain won't stop thinking about:

In an effort to derail writing the Declaration, someone from the opposition (Rutledge, maybe Dickinson, etc.) manages to intercept Adams's request for Martha to come. Instead, they somehow get Abigail instead.

Cue Abigail teasing John about not being the one to send for her, John getting all flustered about seeing his wife (and feeling vaguely grateful to the opposition, despite knowing full well why this has happened), and Jefferson still experiencing his writers block
