After watching Hamilton on Disney+ I just had to sketch Alexander and Eliza A bit more shading to add to the coat and dress. I can’t get the songs out of my head
The most important thing I took from Hamilton and more specifically, Eliza, is that I should never call someone a bitch or a whore or a slut unless I have to (I.e they’ve personally done something to me), so whenever I get irritated over someone online or a celebrity is being shitty, I never call them derogatory terms because Eliza would be disappointed.
If you weren’t able to be in the room where it happened, check out the conversation between our 2016 Records of Achievement honorees Ron Chernow, Thomas Kail, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, moderated by The New Yorker’s Rebecca Mead at our Gala last weekend!
During the program, the honorees discuss going through Hamilton archives, the process of translating the records into “Hamilton”, and the stories of Hamilton’s life that they wish they could have incorporated into the musical.
The 2016 Records of Achievement Award Ceremony and Gala is made possible in part by our Presenting Sponsors AT&T and David M. Rubenstein; as well as Governor Jim and Janet Blanchard, Edgeworth Economics, Steve and Laura Gates, Deborah and Michael Salzberg, and Marvin F. Weissberg.

Has anyone else noticed that in Helpless the part where Eliza sings “Yes mummy, that boy is mine” and in Burn where she sings “With only the memories of when you were mine”
THERE IS A STRONG EMPHASIS ON “mine” IN BOTH SONGS AND ELIZA HOLDS THE NOTE FOR A LONG TIME!!!!
The first time when she fell in love with Alexander and the second time when he broke her heart.
raise a glass to freedom. literally haven’t listened to anything other than this soundtrack for the past week. damn you, lin and your perfect everything.
So not my usual JSE content, and IDK how relevant Hamilton is anymore- buuuut I rewatched it a bit back and decided to do a sketch. May or may not end up going full out on it, we’ll see
@legendaryfirebirdofcuteness and i have spent several hours chatting (very very excitedly) about this, and ngl there’s a fairly big chance i’ll draw more of it
bonus:
hamilton’s entire outfit at any given time is completely mismatched and composed of whichever pieces of armour he happens to come accross that improve his stats
some of his items (like dawnbreaker) are really rare, and whenever people ask him about it he’s just like “eh, i just found it” *shrugs* (or in this case, “eh, meridia gave it to me. it’s supposed to burn away corruption and shit”)

I recently got rlly into Hamilton and so I was playing it in the super high tech rental car that can connect to more than one phone, and so I was playing “Satisfied.” And what I didn’t know was my dads phone was connected as well with “Wayz” and it stopped the music to say “Vehicle stopped on shoulder.” And since iPhones are programmed to play the last thing you were listening to after like ways or maps, guess what fucking plays “I can’t get no’ satisfaction.” (Rolling Stones)
