#I'm Alexander Hamilton. I'm at your service

[feliksthebuilder3000]

no one fw THE hamilton animation more than I did back in 2019 (I didn't even understand English enough to understand the plot but all songs were (and still are) bangers.)

[delusional-4-fake-people]

1776 New York City

Pardon me. Are you Aaron Burr, sir?

That depends. Who's asking?

Oh, well, sure, sir I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir I have been looking for you

I'm getting nervous

Sir... I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have punched him. It's a blur, sir. He handles the financials?

You punched the bursar

Yes! I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?

It was my parents' dying wish before they passed

You're an orphan. Of course! I'm an orphan God, I wish there was a war Then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for

Can I buy you a drink?

That would be nice

While we're talking Let me offer you some free advice Talk less

What?

Smile more

Ha

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

You can't be serious

You wanna get ahead?

Yes

Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

Ay, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo! What time is it?

Showtime!

Like I said...

Showtime! Showtime! Yo! I'm John Laurens in the place to be! Two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three! Those redcoats don't want it with me 'Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I'm free!

Oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette! The Lancelot of the revolutionary set! I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir!" Tell the King "Casse toi!" Who's the best? C'est moi!

Brrrah, brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said "Come again?" (Ayy) Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets (Wow)

No more sex, pour me another brew, son! Let's raise a couple more... To the revolution!

Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton college!

Aaron Burr!

Give us a verse, drop some knowledge!

Good luck with that: you're takin' a stand You spit. I'm 'a sit. We'll see where we land (Boooo)

Burr, the revolution's imminent. What do you stall for?

If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?

Ooh Who you? Who you? Who are you?

Ooh, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?

[leaderofthemafia]

After the war I went back to New York

A-After the war I went back to New York

I finished up my studies and I practiced law

I practiced law, Burr worked next door

Even though we started at the very same time Alexander Hamilton began to climb How to account for his rise to the top? Man, the man is Non-stop!

Gentlemen of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me Are you aware that we're making history? This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation The liberty behind deliberation Non-stop!

I am meant to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt With my assistant counsel—

Co-counsel. Hamilton, sit down Our client Levi Weeks is innocent, call your first witness That's all you had to say

Okay, one more thing—

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Soon that attitude may be your doom

Aww!

Why do you write like you're running out of time? Write day and night like you're running out of time Every day you fight like you're running out of time

Keep on fighting, in the meantime Non-stop!

Corruption's such an old song that we can sing along in harmony And nowhere is it stronger than in Albany This colony's economy's increasingly stalling And honestly, that's why (He's just) Public service seems to be (non-stop!) calling me

I practiced the law, practic'ly perfected it I've seen injustice in the world and I've corrected it Now for a strong central democracy If not, then I'll be Socrates Throwing verbal rocks at these mediocrities (Awww!)

Hamilton at the Constitutional Convention

I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention!

There as a New York junior delegate

Now what I'm gonna say may sound indelicate... (Awww!)

Goes and proposes his own form of government What?

His own plan for a new form of government What?

Talks for six hours, the convention is listless

Bright young man! Yo, who the eff is this?

Why do you always say what you believe? Why do you always say what you believe?

Every proclamation guarantees Free ammunition for your enemies (Awww!)

Why do you write like it's going out of style (goin out of style, hey) Write day and night like it's going out of style (goin out of style, hey) Every day you fight like it's going out of style Do you what you do

Alexander?

Aaron Burr, sir

Well, it's the middle of the night

Can we confer, sir?

Is this a legal matter?

Yes, and it's important to me

What do you need?

Burr, you're a better lawyer than me

Okay?

I know I talk too much, I'm abrasive You're incredible in court, you're succinct, persuasive My client needs a strong defence, you're the solution

Who's your client?

The new U.S. Constitution?

No

Hear me out—

No way!

A series of essays anonymously published Defending the document to the public

No one'll read it

I disagree!

And if it fails?

Burr, that's why we need it

The constitution's a mess!

So it needs amendments

It's full of contradictions!

So is independence We have to start somewhere

No, no, no, no, no, no way

You're making a mistake

Good night!

Hey! What are you waiting for? What do you stall for?

What?

We won the war, what was it all for? Do you support this constitution?

Of course

Then defend it!

And what if you're backing the wrong horse?

Burr, we studied and we fought and we killed For the notion of a nation we now get to build For once in your life take a stand with pride I don't understand how you stand to the side

I don't keep all my plans close to my chest

Wait for it, wait for it, wait

I won't wait here and see which

Way the wind will blow I'm taking my time watching the afterbirth of a nation Watching the tension grow

I am sailing off to London I am accompanied by someone who always pays I have found a wealthy husband Who will keep me in comfort for all my days He is not a lot of fun but There's no one who can match you for turn of phrase My Alexander—

Angelica

Don't forget to write

Look at where you are Look at where you started The fact that you're alive is a miracle Just stay alive, that would be enough And if your wife could share a fraction of your time If I could grant you peace of mind Would that be enough?

Alexander joins forces with James Madison and John Jay to write a series of essays Defending the new United States Constitution, entitled The Federalist Papers The plan was to write a total of twenty-five essays The work divided evenly among the three men In the end, they wrote eighty-five essays in the span of six months John Jay got sick after writing five James Madison wrote twenty-nine Hamilton wrote the other FIFTY-ONE!

How do you write like you're

Running out time Write day and night like you're

Running out time

Every day you fight like you're

Running out time

Like you're

Running out time

Are you running out time?

How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive? How do you write like you need it to survive? How do you write every second you're alive Every second you're alive Every second you're alive

They're asking me to lead I'm doing the best I can To get the people that I need I'm asking you to be my right hand man

Treasury or State?

I know it's a lot to ask—

Treasury or State?

To leave behind the world you know—

Sir, do you want me to run the Treasury or State Department?

Treasury

Let's go

Alexander!

I have to leave

Alexander!

Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now

//I LOVE HAMILTON

[yr-obedt-cicero]

just curious- somewhat in relation to your fic- but do you think Eliza would have been accepting towards Alexander's and John's relationship? if she ever found out.

Nope. And I highly doubt she ever knew either.

Although we don't have anything that indicates Eliza's opinion on sodomy, it is likely safe to assume she was probably your average, period-typical, homophobic, upperclass woman. Maybe even a bit worse considering she was a devoted christian, and was just a judgmental person in general. Eliza was religious and was adamant about it all considering she was often the one instilling religion and proper Christian behaviors in her kids since Hamilton wasn't really a religious person up until the last few years of his life.

I don't see her as being anywhere near accepting, and I often see people comparing it to the Reynolds affair which is just refutable—Infidelity and affairs were actually a commonplace thing of the day, and it wasn't like the Hamiltons' were sheltered from this issue with Hamilton's own family, and their association with others like Gouverneur Morris. Hamilton and Eliza shared the same class with many couples and families that were a victim of such, so honestly, I can imagine it being more forgivable than sodomy (Plus the whole infidelity loop that twists them in since Hamilton was still in a relationship with Laurens when marrying Eliza). And that point, Eliza would have definitely left.

And there are arguments that she supposedly would have been if she didn't mind Baron von Steuben associating with the family, which leads to the unfortunate truth that; even if she did, let's say, know about the Baron's inclinations, it wasn't her choice or say who associated with the family. Ultimately it was Hamilton's, and as much as he loved his wife, I highly doubt he was consulting her about that stuff. Also it's faulty to even consider she knew, as the Baron wasn't foolish with this sort of thing—He was smart about being good with making friends with the upperclass society (Y'know, like the Schuylers'). And honestly, all the rumors surrounding around why he got discharged from the Prussian army and the conclusion being that he was gay probably weren't even true. It's more likely he was just released from service because the army was downsizing, it's incredibly hard to believe he could have just been so open about his sexuality to people, especially enough so to get discharged. If anything, the most critical thing was that he remained a bachelor. So, I highly doubt Eliza knew of that either.

And now it comes down to, would Hamilton tell her? I don't think so. Nothing suggests he ever did, and that she ever knew even after both men's deaths. Sure, Hamilton confided a lot to his wife, but this would have been too grave to share. Additionally, there wouldn't be any reason to, Laurens was dead and Hamilton ended up pushing the memory of him far away.

But since you brought up my fic, I'll add on what separates some of my opinions and then my stories; it's fiction, and despite some of my beliefs like Eliza never agreeing with this sort of thing, or that Laurens and Hamilton would have fallen out of contact had he lived, it doesn't mean I'm always going to implement the most realistic thing in a fiction story I'm writing for fun. It's all about being hypothetical, and exploring those what-if's—So, please remember I'm not always going to be displaying what I say here in my work. Sometimes I will, but in this case where SFP is just a fun little project I started writing for fun and interactions I wanted to imagine, not everything is going to be the most realistic case in scenario.

[oribun]

[Company:]

1776. New York City.

[Hamilton:]

Pardon me. Are you Aaron Burr, sir?

[Burr:]

That depends. Who's asking?

[Hamilton:]

Oh, well, sure, sir

I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir

I have been looking for you

[Burr:]

I'm getting nervous

[Hamilton:]

Sir…

I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have punched him. It's a blur, sir. He handles the financials?

[Burr:]

You punched the bursar

[Hamilton:]

Yes!

I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid.

So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?

[Burr:]

It was my parents' dying wish before they passed

[Hamilton:]

You're an orphan. Of course! I'm an orphan

God, I wish there was a war!

Then we could prove that we're worth more

Than anyone bargained for…

[Burr:]

Can I buy you a drink?

[Hamilton:]

That would be nice

[Burr:]

While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice

Talk less

[Hamilton:]

What?

[Burr:]

Smile more

[Hamilton:]

Ha

[Burr:]

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

[Hamilton:]

You can't be serious

[Burr:]

You wanna get ahead?

[Hamilton:]

Yes

[Burr:]

Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

[Laurens:]

Yo yo yo yo yo!

What time is it?

[Laurens/Lafayette/Mulligan:]

Show time!

[Burr:]

Like I said…

[Laurens:]

[ravenstakeflight]

pardon me, are you aaron burr, sir?

"Pardon me, but-" Alex takes a deep breath, unable to contain his excitement. "Are you Aaron Burr, sir?" "That depends, who's asking?" "Oh, well, sure, sir-" he holds a hand out, watching Burr take it. "I'm Alexander Hamilton-" a spark of recognition, slowly catching and blazing into a fire "-I'm at your service, sir, I have been… looking for you." "Why-" "Aaron, help." Alex collapses into his best friend's chest, moaning in despair.

Fargo! on AO3 | Alexander Hamilton/John Laurens

Mature

Wednesday, October 20th, 2003, 7:00 PM

John felt the tremors in his hands, his chest, the clench of his jaw. He was afraid. He was worried that he might screw this up.  He walked into the house depicting himself in a movie in his head. He acted it out to perfect his story.  How could it be a lie if he'd really done all of it?  He really did get home feeling uneasy, the sight of the open door the first red flag which he tried to push down by preparing to find his husband and laugh with him about his absent-mindedness.  Instead, he walked through the house, saw its utter state of disarray, the broken glass, broken photo... and he raced up the stairs.

Everything was so empty and still.  He wouldn't have to fabricate the ache he felt in his chest, either, at the quiet.  He checked every room and imagined Alexander really had vanished.  He didn’t have to conjure fear as a primary emotion because it already pulsed through his neck: the fear he’d be caught.  Keep acting.  So John yelled his name, ran outside yelling for him, checked his car and behind the house, and yelled and yelled.  

He took out his cell to call 911.

He waited the short seconds it took to be connected to emergency services, hoping deeply that his alibi would be believed even if his only employee had the day off today and wouldn't be able to attest to his whereabouts.  Shit, no alibi.  Had he really written off this potential problem?  No alibi?  He could see it now: being grilled for Alexander’s disappearance, swearing up and down that not only would he never do that, but that he loves him, and yes, he was at work.  Could he prove that?  No, but––

"Nine-one-one, what's your emergency?"

John sucked in a breath. "My... my partner is missing.  I think somebody broke in, the door was open when I got home, and I've looked everywhere, I can't find..." He allowed his breath to hesitate again, not pushing too much emotion but still making sure he didn't sound stoic.

There seemed to be almost a beat of hesitation on the operator's end. She began to question him standardly: what's your address? When was the last time you had contact with your partner?  What are the signs of forced entry?  Are you certain the damage wasn't caused by your partner, were you fighting recently? Is there anybody at the home now, and have you checked? Do you have something to defend yourself with if somebody’s in the house? Stay put, somebody's on the way, et cetera, et cetera.

It almost felt real.

He stayed on the line a moment more before she let him go, uncharacteristically.

He sighed and tried to conjure up some panic in his mind. He tried to cry, so it would be more credible when the police showed up.  He stood by the door. An idea popped into his head and Laurens figured he had time as he went to the kitchen, pulled out half an onion in a bag, pulled apart a piece to get the fresh part, and, without hesitating, rubbed his thumb on the onion before rubbing his thumb against his eye. He cried out and quickly rubbed the other one before he could stop himself.  He shoved the onion into the fridge and slammed the door. "I'm gonna— fucking kill somebody if this makes me go blind! Fuck!" He willed himself not to rub at his eyes and instead opened them wide, blinking.  Sure enough, he felt tears on his cheeks.  He washed then sanitized his hands so they wouldn't smell of onion.

He went outside, lit up a cigarette because although he usually only smoked socially, it seemed appropriate.  He perfected his trembling shoulders and uneasy breath by the time the officers arrived.  Showtime.

[a-god-in-ruins-rises]

What federal/official holidays would you add? Feel like we need more and you seem like the type who'd agree

oh hell yeah. i'm a big fan of adding holidays.

election day should be a holiday. let's call it civic duty day.

a unity/harmony day. just to celebrate the american union, despite our differences.

a community/community service day. a day where everyone is encouraged to do some good for their community. could be volunteering or having a block party or something.

an innovation/technology day.

a culture day.

a national park/nature day. a day to just celebrate the natural beauty of america and its conservation.

a youth day. the youth are the future and they should be celebrated!

an elderly day. respect your elders.

ancestor worship day. halloween is /kinda/ supposed to be this but in practice it's not. maybe make the day before or after. just to have a more somber counterpart to halloween. make halloween a federal holiday too.

make the day after the super bowl a holiday. one that celebrates athleticism.

heroes/public service day. we have holidays celebrating our troops but what about other public service members? emts and paramedics? police? firefighters? waste management? mailmen? public school teachers? these people are the backbone of our society and deserve some celebration!

but most of all i want some kind of dionysia/saturnalia/carnival/holi holiday. maybe we have one in the two halves of the year. so one in fall and one in spring or one in winter and one in summer. but these need to be like a weeklong affair. a celebration of life itself. totally life-affirmation. parades and festivals and fairs and color and vibrancy and drinking and feasting and fucking and so on.

also obviously all the solstices and equinoxes.

also a bunch of historical figures' birthdays. like alexander hamilton's.

and it probably wouldn't be constitutional but i'd love to see a bunch of pagan holidays federally recognized. maybe a case could be made though, depending on the holiday.

[pinkyellowblue]

How does a bastard, orphan son of a whore

And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean

By providence, impoverished, in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

The 10 dollar

Founding father without a father

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder, by being a lot smarter

By being a self-starter, by 14 they placed him in charge of a trading charter

And everyday while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away

Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up

Inside he was longing for something to be a part of

The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow or barter

Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned

Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain

Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain

And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

Well the word got around, they said

"This kid is insane, man!"

Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland

"Get your education, don't forget from whence you came

And the world's gonna know your name. What's your name man?"

Alexander Hamilton

My name is Alexander Hamilton

And there's a million thing I haven't done

But just you wait, just you wait

When he was 10, his father split, full of it, debt ridden

2 years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden

Half-dead, sitting in their own sick, the scent thick

And Alex got better but his mother went quick

Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide

Left him with nothing but ruined pride, something new inside

A voice saying, "Alex you gotta fend for yourself"

He started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf

There woulda been nothing left to do for someone less astute

He woulda been dead and destitute without a cent of restutition

Started working, clerking for his late mother's landlord

Trading sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford

Scanning for every book he can get his hands on

Planning for the future, see him now as he stands on

The bow of a ship headed for a new land

In New York you can be a new man

Just you wait

(In New York you can be a new man) Just you wait

In New York you can be a new man

In New York (New York)

Just you wait!

Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton), we're waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)

You could never back down, you never learned to take your time

Oh, Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton), when America sings for you

Will they know what you overcame?

Will they know you rewrote the game?

The world will never be same, oh

The ship is in the harbor now, see if you can spot him

Another immigrant coming up from the bottom

His enemies destroyed his rep, America forgot him

We fought with him

Me? I died for him

Me? I trusted him

Me? I loved him

And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him

There's a million thing I haven't done

But just you wait

What's your name man?

Alexander Hamilton!

1776

New York City

Pardon me.

Are you Aaron Burr, sir?

That depends. Who's asking?

Oh, well, sure, sir

I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir

I have been looking for you

I'm getting nervous

Sir...

I heard your name at Princeton.

I was seeking an accelerated course of study

When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours.

I may have punched him. It's a blur, sir.

He handles the financials?

You punched the bursar

Yes!

I wanted to do what you did.

Graduate in two, then join the revolution.

He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid

So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?

It was my parents' dying wish before they passed

You're an orphan. Of course! I'm an orphan

God, I wish there was a war

Then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for

Can I buy you a drink?

That would be nice

While we're talking

Let me offer you some free advice

Talk less

What?

Smile more

Ha

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

You can't be serious

You wanna get ahead?

Yes

Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

Ay, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!

What time is it?

Showtime!

Like I said...

Showtime! Showtime! Yo!

I'm John Laurens in the place to be!

Two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three!

Those redcoats don't want it with me

'Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I'm free!

Good luck with that: you're takin' a stand

Burr, the revolution's imminent.

What do you stall for?

If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?

Ooh

Who you? Who you? Who are you?

Ooh, who is this kid?

What's he gonna do?

THANKS BRO....
