Oh Queer Period Pieces How I Love Thee

I was watching different productions of falsettos yesterday because its fun and I found a falsettoland production by trinity college (the same college that made that in trousers production we've all watched) and it's one of my favourite productions I've seen and I'm giving some reasons why and also why you should check it out as well ;)

•Whizzvin kiss ON THE LIPS❗❗ In what more can I say :D

•ALSO. The lesbians have a kiss of the lips aswell during the baseball game which is adorable

•Slide. THE SLIDE MAKES A RETURN MFS❗ I love the stupid slide

•The girl who played Trina in the in trousers production plays her here :D

•Marvin reading a book during the baseball game 💀

•Whizzer brought a blanket with him to the baseball game and when Marvin tries touching his hair he just throws it over his hair to stop him (this made me laugh)

•Marvins goofy pink shorts during the racquetball games

•During holding to the ground Trina gets some water for whizzer and brings Charlotte in to help him 😭

•Whizzers cane. During you gotta die sometime and Jason's bar mitzvah whizzer uses a cane to help him move around and stand he also falls a couple times which shows he's struggling to hold his weight (it irritated me in productions of the show that whizzer even though he's immensely weak and ill would just move as easily as he did before he came in hospital so I'm glad they showed him struggling here).

•Jason and whizzers little interactions during Jason's bar mitzvah 😭 they're adorable

•Trust me here this production is so good check it out the cast play the characters amazingly and they're so talented it deserves more love

so i’m trying to make a falsettos timeline and i’ve been looking at weather forecasts from 1979 - 1981 trying to match it to the outfits they’re wearing to figure out the months and stuff like that so um yeah how do I stop

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

hate when someone asks how are you and you say good how are you and they say "oh not so great" or something. it's always like ohh okay i see we're being honest i thought we were playing pretend. can i have a do-over

(To the audience) HIM AND ME. (To WHIZZER) YOU AND I. PASSIONATELY LOVERS.

the way you draw them itches my brain good thank you

We got something in the WORKS rn guys

“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

"i don't comment on ao3 because i don't wanna be annoying or weird" skill issue + you greatly underestimate the power dynamic here, writing multi paragraph comments is like feeding a bunch of deeply insane and possibly starved ducks at the park and watch them go completely mad over having received a piece of bread

then I start violently sobbing

Can you just imagine. Marvin and Whizzer. They're back together. There's no more of that raw aggression, there's cheeky jabs and jokes. The passion isn't the fighting, it's the time spent together. They've probably learned to talk together. They're sincere, they're open with their feelings, they're in love

Then AIDS
