You know, I kinda wanna see Falsettos get the Wicked treatment (two movies) just to see the non-theater kids suffer even more!

(Cue malicious laughter while rubbing my hands like a cartoon villain)

I was trying to sleep, when I thought that in The Chess Game, you can notice how Whizzer rubs his thighs, and you probably gonna think “Because he is anxious and stressed?” BUT, remember how Marvin in In Trousers always talks about thighs, more specifically in Whizzer Going Down, he says: “He rubs my neck, y rub his thigh” So maybe Whizz was seeking comfort, because probably Marvin rubs his thighs a lot. Or maybe I just need to sleep and I’m over thinking everything.

I love how the name mendel means ‘little man’

Here's a close up of my deconstructing the cube page if anyone wants to take a crack at building it yourself. Mines made out of wood scraps.

How I've broken it down was into directions (the first time we see it, the left side is 'east' and the right side is 'west'). You get it. Every block was assigned a letter so I could put it back perfectly every time cause so many of the blocks look the same but have a very slight size difference that throws the whole thing off if placed elsewhere.

The scale is not completely jacked beyond comprehension, but I started with one block and scaled the whole thing around that, so I really had no idea how big it would actually be. Mine is 7 by 6 inches.

Honestly looking at it now, idk how I did it.

It was mostly a process of fuck around and find out. I needed to use every version and bootleg I could to get every angle and see all the details and even then, I'm still confused.

To more or less ruin the illusion, there's a third triangle that doesn't fit anywhere and Whizzer's headstone replaced two blocks [H and I]. So those ones either hang out behind the cube or inside the pocket of space it has.

The whole thing I want to say took me like a week of sawing and sanding wood. (Minus the painting). But I was really determined to get it done before my interest wavered the slightest. Not that it did of course, I was eager to get to work on my next Falsettos-related project. [A hand carved chessboard set] if y'all want to see that, I'll be happy to show you.

Marvin's name

I was researching names and their meanings for a fic that I'm writing and I came across two things that i found highly interesting.

First, the name Marvin generally has two meanings: "sea friend" or "great lord". Any people well versed in In Trousers will immediately think of the Columbus theme and How America Got Its Name here, of course. With the amount of overcompenating grandiosity, the second one also feels fitting.

But that's not all. Apparently, in 1960s Britain, Marvin was actually slang.

Hank Marvin = Starving - “I'm completely Marvin.” Hank Marvin was a guitarist in popular band during the 1960s. Cockneys took a shine to his name, and now you can announce your levels of hunger by including Hank, Marvin, or Hank Marvin in a sentence.

Again, this was a thing in Britain. But considering that Marvin is a repressed gay man, desperate (one might say starving wink, wink) for love, not to mention How Marvin Eats His Breakfast, I find this both funny and fitting.

i’m gonna yap about falsettos for a second

in unlikely lovers there’s this one part where whizzer says “please go home and don’t be scared” and marvin replies “what’s the fuss? i’m not scared! what good is a lover who’s scared?”

this part makes me lose my mind every time i hear it bc marvin obviously is very scared but he thinks that if he shows any weakness that whizzer will think less of him even when he’s dying and he can’t bear to lose him now so he’s just keeping everything he feels in until the end of this song

hey guys i’m normal about falsettos!!! hbu!!!

I would like to share my Finch whizzer brown birds

found a jacket today and it kinda looks like whizzer’s from the baseball game

now I just need a pink shirt

guys if you ever are running off of less sleep than normal-humanly possible don’t watch falsettos currently sobbing more than I ever have at what would I do

whizzer’s part is breaking me

the falsettos protshot on youtube had the view count go up by 4k in one day and that will never not make me happy

Rest in peace William Finn.

To the man who never knew I existed, thank you. He helped me feel comfortable in my sexuality when I was most vulnerable (in middle school) while making it fun.

His music held my hand through the bullying and torment that comes with being queer. The songs that he wrote shielded me from ever listening to those harsh comments. Falsettos made me the person who I am today and I couldn’t be happier.

He pioneered openly gay media that wasn’t played as a joke. I know Rocky Horror Picture Show came out 3 years before In Trousers did but (as much as I love Rocky horror) the queer themes were played as a joke. William made Marvin a raw and flawed character that felt like a human being. He brought life to characters that resonated with the queer community at the very beginnings of the modern lgbtq movement.

It shatters me that he passed away at 73 while Trump is still alive. I especially feel bad for his husband, Arthur. Bill impacted the lives of millions of people and his music will continue to bring joy and hope to the queer community for years to come. What more can I say?

I found this too (from a while ago) he’s so silly

soo this is my character but I only have her design

I need name ideas if anyone has any!!! (also I think her name should begin with A, I just get that feeling :D)

hey guys cool thing I found (i’m going insane)

at 2:03 in “Me and My Husband” (mitski) there’s a riff or a sound or something and it’s the SAME THING THAT PLAYS WHEN STARLOS FIRST ON SCREEN

my brain might be making this up but please check for yourself because I can’t trust my ears

okay this has probably already been said but if Martlets height when she’s sitting is 2 pixels less than normal that could mean Chujin is usually 52 pixels tall

using the math from a post I saw somewhere (i’ll look it up later) each pixel is like 3.8cm or something — tldr you do 200/52 then multiply the pixel height

so using that we can do 52 x (200/52) and oh golly gee I just realised it will literally just be 200cm

that’s embarrassing

anyway! chujins height would be 200cm/ 6’56ft do with this information what you will just thought it was interesting!!

we like undertale yellow here (especially the star man gshsgh)
