#WhizzerFalsettos

[takemebacktowheniwassane]

I would kill to have you overanalyze everything about Falsettos. Hope that didn't sound too threatening, I was joking, I'm just really into your analysis of the chess game :3

omg! I would love to analyze anything for you, man! 💗 I've pretty much picked everything out of a lot of the songs─ lil surprised I don't have my own corkboard with red twine commemorating my insanity on this musical lol

Looking through the album, the first option that came to mind might've been The Thrill of First Love but I think I'll take a break from toxic gays for just one moment and give you a strangely written analysis on Marvin at the Psychiatrist: A Three-Part Mini Opera, because of the different character pov's (i.e., Mendel, Jason, somewhat Whizzer, and of course, Marvin─ and I know Whizzer only announces each section of the song but hear me out, the theories are crazy and I'm obsessed with them and this song definitely factors into them aswell).

Basically, we'll start off with a quick look over Jason's lines, as he is the first character to speak/sing in the song. Right off the bat, we have him showing a HUGE disdain for love because of his father pretty much ruining his home life with the illusion of it. Well, maybe disdain is strong, but you get what I mean─ he's very reluctant to accept romance as an option for himself at all at this point because the wound is still very fresh from Marvin blowing up their family life, but yeah, also, he's a little preteen boy so it also makes sense for him to object to liking anyone just because of immaturity.

As we progress, Jason does a joint-therapy session with Marvin and they talk about outings and father/son bonding time gone badly wrong. He lets us in on his hyper-observance with his reaction to Marvin saying the pitcher they saw at a baseball game was handsome, and makes sure the audience is well aware he has some pretty conflicting emotions about his dad and his dad's sexuality. Especially given My Father's a Homo comes directly after this song, and in turn, also directly after this moment, so we know his feelings over Marvin and Whizzer (being that he enjoys Whizzer's company, seeing as Whizzer is the only adult who actually treats him like a kid and not like a victim or a baby or an average adult, like- but still) and their messy relationship.

It really makes me wonder on how it is when he's meant to go over to their apartment, since it's canonical that they live together and that Jason sees him regularly. And if they act terribly in front of him still. I assume Whizzer wouldn't allow that, another trait that gives Jason reason to side with him, because he seems like he really just doesn't want to completely, for lack of better words, fuck up Jason's whole childhood experience by being a part of it.

Now! Mendel isn't a complicated perspective, per say, just very eccentric. Especially assuming he asks MANY intrusive questions to a man who just openly came out as gay about his ex-wife and her sexual habits and such. This is where we tell him to go to horny jail.

(That's not the whole analysation, I swear─)

Mendel to me seems like he probably takes the initiative to not relay any of his clients actual info to other family members, but this song pretty much just proves he's incapable of brain-thought when he's horny. Which, yeah, that's hilarious that the only straight man is just thirsting over a woman to this gay guy. William Finn, you've done it again.

Anyhow, Mendel is pretty vital in this song. We get to see his psychiatry techniques, and with that, understand exactly what kind of situation Marvin's been, in taking therapy from him this whole time. The first part of the song is probably the best way of analyzing, since he's actually intelligible and giving Marvin advice. Well, that advice consists of telling him to ignore Whizzer's flaws and love him regardless, you can actually sorta see that at work in some aspects of the musical, even if he's constantly condescending to Whizzer throughout act one.

But generally, Marvin tends to take the exact opposite path that Mendel gives him, and basically just uses him as a venting device. Then again, Mendel is not to great at giving advice, as a neurotic little man who has like four mental breakdowns in the course of act one and two.

Next, Whizzer, of course. Short but sweet, or.. angsty? I've heard a few people theorize that Whizzer narrates the story ("Marvin at the psychiatrist, a three part mini opera, part one." "Part two." "Part three." "Psychiatrist, returning, returning! Five sessions later..." "A day in Falsettoland─ Doctor Mendel at work.") because after he dies, it sort of becomes his story of finding a true family and lover and son and being actually happy and knowing he lived well before he died really, tragically young, at least.

I'd like to take it a different direction, because I hate angst, and only sometimes tolerate it.

I've realized that Whizzer only actually narrates Mendel's shenanigans, which makes me think, especially with how he still does in act two, he gets to HEAR about the sessions. Whether it be from Marvin, or Jason, or Trina. Or even Mendel himself (this one's more act two based). It may introduce a new side because Whizzer doesn't go to therapy (shocker), but the people he's around all see this one guy so maybe he hears about the sessions and can relay them because he knows this one person's aspect of the story each time.

It wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to hear anything from Mendel in act one assuming they weren't close (at least not in the revival), and he doesn't marry Trina until Marvin and Whizzer are broken up, basically. But it would make more sense for him to get it from his boyfriend who absolutely loves to complain about any minor inconvenience in his life. I just think this could be an interesting perspective, because I've only ever seen that first theory and although somewhat fitting, I need less angst and more cool little headcanons in this fanbase please and thank you.

Finally, we go to Marvin. The star of the show, our princess with several disorders (we all know who our real queens are *stares directly at Trina and Whizzer*).

Throughout the entirety of this song, we see him barely entertaining Mendel with information. He's very vague, which probably stems from a life of secrecy and sneaking around. Although I presume he told Mendel about the affair while it was happening, or a few months in? Or Mendel just knew? Just by the general air of it, and how it seemed well-known by that point even though him and Trina only just divorced.

Marvin definitely keeps to himself, and waits for Mendel to butt in with something. Not so he can take his advice, but moreso so that he can kinda just. Have it, on hand? Or maybe so he can prove to himself that therapy is a hoax, because that certainly sounds like a Marvin thing to do.

Even while going through events with his son, he only states that eventually their interactions just go back to being stale and that they SHOULD be closer, without ever trying to actually make an effort (he assumes making an effort is taking Jason on outings even though they both prefer to stay inside, on their own. This definitely comes from his parents not doing anything with him as a kid, it's internalized so he pushes going out in public and doing what would be father/son outings onto Jason. It's something he never got to have, so he thinks that means he's fathering Jason better than average).

Not much to be said about that middle factor, besides the point of Marvin not knowing Trina was withholding love from him, which is interesting. Her character and lines definitely prevail that she was fed up with Marvin, but it could have just come out as indifference during their marriage. In I'm Breaking Down, she does make a point to state that she only wants a man to love her, so that could've been an overwhelming point in their marriage that Marvin remembers more vividly then her drifting away.

He did seem genuinely surprised when Mendel brought it up, so there is something there for sure.

But now, my dear silly, it's time for me to say adieu, because it's semi-late and I gotta update a fic draft :) but thank you sm for asking! made my day, it was so sweet. my inbox is always open for any suggestions, I'm really glad you like these little rants lol.

I'll try to post more soon 🫶

Goodnight!

As far as i am concerned, more racquetball did not happen and they lived happily ever after (gods know there’s enough sad musicals as it is) Finished the #whizzvin sketch! I hate to admit i used more than two and a a half hours to finish this !!!!: you can use this as PC wallpaper if you wish, if you want it as a phone wallpaper or if you want it in higher definition, just DM me, tho i doubt anyone would want this as bg or anything 😅 I have a test tmr as well (im most productive when i have a test due, just not productive for the right things, so it seems) Tags: #whizzerbrown #whizzer #whizzerfalsettos #whizzerfanart #falsettos #falsettosmusical #falsettosfanart #falsettosrevival #marvin #marvinfalsettos #marvingardens #marvinfanart #marvinfalsettosfanart #art #fanart #whizzvinfanart #williamfinn #musical https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCB-QChxHQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[I read this on tumblr so I decided to write about it - Act II] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whizzer quickly turned the TV off when he heard Marvin come back from work on a Thursday night, “You’re early”, he said with the most surprised tone he could, yet he was actually terrified inside. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The older man left his belongings by the door, then dropped his jacket on the couch and sat down at Whizzer’s side, “Yeah, there wasn’t much left to do”, he gave Whizzer a smile, but the other simply stared at the jacket. With a sigh, Marvin got up and hanged it up so Whizzer wouldn’t go crazy about it. “Was it a good day, though?”, Whizzer now returned the smile, giving Marvin a quick kiss on the cheek. The blue-eyed man nodded and took the control and turned on the TV. Whizzer’s eyes widened. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Marvin let out a loud laugh, “Who watches crappy telenovelas?”, he said while still laughing and changing the channel. Upon hearing no response from Whizzer, he turned to look at the other man who had his wide eyes fixed on the TV. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With a quick movement, Whizzer took the control away from Marvin’s hand and changed the channel back to the telenovela, “Jose is about to tell Paola he loves her!”, he basically yelled, but he was also melting about how romantic it was, making Marvin cover his ears in response. They both stayed quiet, Whizzer with a wide smile on his face, Marvin with his eyebrows knitted together, feeling a little annoyed and unsure of what was going on. He didn’t know Whizzer liked telenovelas, basically the worst content to ever exist on TV. 

There were some quick, soft knocks on the door, to which Marvin got up and opened, “Oh, Delia, Char, hi”, he said with a smile, in hopes that they didn’t hear that Whizzer was watching a fucking telenovela. They both immediately stepped inside, Cordelia bearing a plate full of brownies, and Charlotte a bottle of wine. They handed Marvin said things and quickly made their way to the living room, making Whizzer company, chit chatting about how cute Jose’s and Paola’s relationship was. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With an eye roll, Marvin closed the door and served everything on the coffee table for them. He was impressed at how quick the three of them were already painting their nails, getting face masks on and laughing at the jokes related to what they were watching on TV. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This became a weekly thing. Every Thursday, the lesbians from next door, would come over with food and wine, while Whizzer would provide self care products.

Jason: ..No. Marvin: Exactly, we've all done it. - Cordelia: My knee just cracked so loudly that I half-expected it to glow in the dark tonight- - Marvin: You know, when I first met you, I thought you were a real bitch. Whizzer: What changed your mind? Marvin: Oh, I still think your a bitch, I've just grown to like that about you. - Marvin: Would I rather be feared, or loved? Easy. Both.
