sad whizzer hc but is more of an analysis

I'm sorry for breaking y'alls hearts today falsettos tumblr but a cruel hc i've had float around for a while now is that... what if whizzer went to jason's baseball game not because he just wanted to but because he knew he was going to die soon?

the facts:

it's implied (borderline explicitly) that marvin wasn't with anyone within the two year gap of their breakup and the baseball game, alongside the fact that marvin is strict about relationships and monogamy. and with what we know of his playboy nature, it's likely that whizzer probably slept around to cope with the breakup and fulfill his needs, in contrast.

so it's plausible that whizzer contracted HIV from someone he slept with and had it spread to marvin; in "something bad is happening - reprise," charlotte states this fact (moreso how both marv and whizz have HIV, not who got it from who) + "good men get better with age/we're just gonna skip that stage" in "what would i do?" .

if we follow this theory, it makes sense why whizzer was the only one (first, more specifically) to suffer violently from the effects of HIV/AIDS: he had it for longer. and because he didn't take action/notice sooner - and it was the 80s, where awareness and treatment for the virus was neglected due to the good ol reagans! (/s) - he went before marvin.

notes:

im not a reliable source for knowledge on HIV/AIDS because im just a dumbass that pretends to know things - tho i did try my best to fact check the bare minimum for this.

im also not a very articulate person and interpret things weirdly in comparison to everyone i know so i might not be making any sense at all. sorry 🙏

(this is prob unnecessary but i have this mindset) you are in no way obligated to consider this theory/hc at all just because it appeared in the tag/your feed. enjoy your media how you like :)
