The Baseball Game (featuring men KISSING??)

(IM WORKING ON THE ART REQS NOW 😎👉👉)

[local-falsettos-obsession]

I feel like the Lesbians know Whizzer better than anyone else (except Marvin) even BEFORE the baseball game. They 100% have gossiped with Marvin for hours and Marvin has described E V E R Y detail about Whizzer. Clothing, facial expressions, his hair, his cologne, you name it Marvin’s probably told the lesbians about it. The lesbians could probably pick out a hex code of the teal shirt (Definitely Pre-Baseball game Marvin’s fav shirt) because Marvin has told them it. Charlotte KNOWS Whizzer when he shows up to the game, in the script book at least (“Dr.Charlotte (disgusted): Where the hell did they get that umpire? Oh, hi, Whizzer” Page 92). Also another note on the baseball game, right after Whizzer shows up Charlotte and Marvin are standing up, once Marvin sees Whizzer he pulls Charlotte down and Charlotte looks at him all confused. Marvin does a little motion with his head and it takes a minutes for Charlotte and Cordelia to realize whose here, and this is their iconic reaction:

So obviously (upon inspection) they know who Whizzer is without ever meeting him (to our knowledge). In conclusion Marvin and Lesbians are Besties and Marvin has told them everything about Whizzer.

Babe it's that time of the day again! Bring out the Falsettos 2016 Broadway cast recordings

Idk if anyone will get this. But ive been hyperfocussed on both disco elysium and falsettos recently, and theyve kinda merged in my head. And the dynamics fit so insanely well. Its a rlly silly AU (as long as you ignore the last half of the musical.)

Anyways, for most songs its:

Marvin = Harry (toxic old man who's happy w his new partner but also doesnt want to let go of his old one)

Whizzer = Kim (new lover / partner)

Trina = Jean (resentful ex lover / partner)

Jason = Cuno (troubled child)

Mendel = Trant (therapist)

The lesbians from nextdoor = Klaasje and Ruby (yeah)

For some songs I kinda switch the characters up, but this lineup works for most. And then I listen to the musical and imagine its them (yay my mind movie)

[phierecycled]

when marvin spots whizzer at the baseball game and starts fixing his hair and hiding behind charlotte >>>>

[dance-like-an-idiot]

tw: death, grief, sickness

whizzer is at the baseball game, and whizzer walks away. 

marvin lets out a heavy breath of relief as a pit forms in his stomach. 

a pit of regret. 

— 

marvin sees him at another game of jasons, weeks later, and whizzer doesn't make eye contact with him once. 

whizzer seems very happy, and marvin wishes he could still be happy when they meet eyes.

but they don't. 

—

whizzer is at the park with a camera nearly two months later and he seems at peace.

marvin doesn't want to break it so he picks up his speed despite a worsening stomach ache.

they're common now.

—

marvin after 1 month of not seeing whizzer gives into charlotte, cordelia, mendel, and even jason's requests. 

whizzer sits 4 seats away from marvin at the gay bar, swirling a drink and getting close with a guy.

he goes home. 

—

whizzer looks pale even under the warm sun, and its only been a week since he last saw him. 

marvin stops on the sidewalk and can't muster the courage to walk further into the park. 

they meet eyes.

—

marvin hasn't seen whizzer in two weeks since he ran from the park again and when he walks by there he is.

whizzer doesn't notice him this time, but marvin notices that his clothes don't fit like they used to.

he looks sick.

—

whizzer has been gone for a month, marvin is sure of it as he sits in the park he's visited every day this month.

marvin stands up from the bench and walks home, but his eye catches a newspaper and he pays for one. 

"gay pneumonia." huh.

—

marvin had finally found where whizzer was, and it was the last place he could have imagined.

whizzer's tombstone is boring, unmarred, and represents nothing of the person that decays beneath. 

he rips his right cuff and recites.

—

whizzer's tombstone is as pale as his face, and its only been 2 weeks since he first saw it for the first time.

marvin visits everyday to place a stone and he brings cordelia and charlotte with him when they can join.

22 stones placed.

—

marvin has been losing weight for too long now, and he runs out of breath daily, with worsening frequency.

whizzer lies under the ground in front of him, and marvin looks at the familiar stones and white king on it.

he passes out.

—

whizzer's name is one of the few things he says as marvin lays in the hospital bed, dying, he knows.

marvin wants to be buried next to whizzer, so he knows that he had always wanted to be there for his lover.

[aexolilly]

this actually hits tho-

[t4tcecilos]

one of my favorite falsettos (2016) subtle details is that charlotte and cordelia both have rings on the ring finger of their Right hands

[youraveragemiscellanyenjoyer]

“You’ve changed.”

[shewantsitall]

Marvin hates baseball bc he has ADHD. I don't make the rules... I'm just here to share the news.

[reptilian-rapscallian]

Unlikely lovers just started playing on my headphones in public and when I tell you my eyes widened like a cartoon character and I skipped so I wouldn’t start sobbing SO QUICKLY

[chipadequeso]

"hah, i like how he swings the bat!" "it's good how he swings the bat, but why does he have to throw like that?" >>> "it's weird how he swings the bat." "it's weird how he swings the bat, and why does he have to throw like that?"

[spongewormedpants]

[real-odark]

in obc when mendel goes offstage in the baseball game to get the ball that was just hit he definitely stole that from a kid
