I we all know how marvin eats his breakfast, but how would marvin have his eggs (besides over spinach over toast)
everyone tagging their falsettos posts with explanations and self deprecating comments like “omg I’m so cringe hahaha lol XD.” GIRL. NOBODY CARES. THIS IS TUMBLR. BE FREE. I’m over here having a jolly good time and I see y’all feeling EMBARASSED? FOR HAVING GREAT TASTE? This will not do smh. get over it y’all I swear I’m out here having sm fun and you’re worried about the potential of being a theater kid. I pinky promise nobody gaf godbless
was listening to the falsettos soundtrack on shuffle and I got just what more can I say and what would I do back to back
my day is ruined and now i’m ugly crying what about you guys
girls will be like "omg that's literally me" and it's a gay man who dies
Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue
"what you love you devour, what i covet i keep" will never not make me scream. it speaks volumes. one line and it sums up the toxicity of their relationship at the time.
how am I following 151 falsettos people but have no friends that like it irl (one has watched it but nothing else 😔)
words of affirmation i repeat on the daily
“Four Jews in a Room” is actually right because Marvin, Jason, Mendel, and Trina are usually seen together while Whizzer (the only half Jewish person) is more isolated and moreso the narrator of the family rather than a part of it/ in the room, so to speak
GUYS you can listen to andrew rannells sing the man that got away at ANY POINT FOR FREE incase you forgot btw fyi life is worth living
updates to the birds
I would like to share my Finch whizzer brown birds
AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be
when i’m actually studying for tests instead of watching falsettos for the third time today (I really struggle to manage my time when I get hyperfixated so i’m proud :) )
— the history of falsettos
I think the reason why i love and fixate on falsettos so much is because its sung through,,like... There's so many hidden messages, And connections and subtle lore drop......
Why couldnt i get math autism
What the fuck is sad gay musical about AIDS
reminiscing when i had already said all my lines for mic check so i started info dumping about the marvin trilogy to 5 people
I headcanon that Jason would lie about going to a friends house and then just go to Whizzers house.
The whole reason he played matchmaker with his baseball game was because Whizzer accidentally spilled that he still liked Marvin and it was quite obvious Marvin still liked Whizzer.
this is so cheeks I'm sorry
Games are a frequent mention throughout falsettos, even more so in act 1, shown in lyrics like "these are the games I play"/"I bet on the horses"/"I think games are, I think chess is the most beautiful thing"/"I intend to upset, this regrettable game" < this one is relevant to this analysis
Of course, act 2 also includes games, more so actual sports such as baseball and racquetball (racquetball is relevant to this one, too)
I think games also center heavily around the development of Whizzer and Marvin's relationship, or at least symbolize it. Games tend to build up Whizzer and Marvin's relationship, while instead of physical board games, it's mind games, coming from both whizzer AND marvin. Lyrics like "he makes me smile a lot, especially at mealtimes, makes me feel I'm kind of smart." Symbolize how they toy with the other to build up their own self esteem. Tying back to the lyric "I intend to upset this regrettable game". Their mind games consist of constant bluffs about leaving, that their relationship is going to end, until the chess game, Marvin teaches whizzer to play, thinking that it'll make him feel smarter, feeling better at something than Whizzer is. When Whizzer ends up distracting Marvin, using it to his advantage and winning, turning it into his own play on Marvin, Marvin's final attempt at making a play on Whizzer is getting a suitcase, thinking Whizzer won't actually leave. When Whizzer does, Marvin's fantasy is shattered when Marvin finds out that he wasn't really as smart as he thought he was.
Then, in act 2, the main game focused in their newfound relationship is racquetball. Marvin is still on a consistent loss streak when they play, but they're harmful losses. This shows how Marvin grows to be content with loss. During the racquetball game, Whizzer and Marvin seem genuinely happy and in love. It's not about building one's esteem, it's about being present with each other.
This is so fucking CHEEEKS LMAOO but yeah! Whizzvin
Welcome To Falsettoland ends with “It’s about time” being repeated with increasing intensity until it abruptly cuts off. Much like You Gotta Die Sometime
