where did you find the beforehand dialogue

I'm not crying, you're crying

Did you guys know that right when More Racquetball ends, and Charlotte takes Whizzer back, if you're wearing headphones, you can hear Marvin say "What?" in the most heartbreaking tone imaginable? Because he didn't expect Whizzer to need to go to the hospital? Because I fucking didn't.

nobody really talks about the song three seconds from in trousers but it’s my favorite song and I just wanted to commemorate it by throwing fanart at people

also, go listen to this production if you haven’t from 2019

YouTube

In Trousers (1985 version)

:)

crying in trousers right now actually

Dude. DUDE.

and the- the fact that the beginning of In Trousers (The Dream), the opening few notes, they mimic Falsettoland (Reprise)'s first few notes..

I'm screaming in trousers and I am not okay the marvin trilogy makes me physically unwell

Do tumblr Falsettos enjoyers like it when people post edits in here? Is that a thing people do? Anyways here's one!!

Jesus. 🙄🤬

It's queer Mr. Marvin! ...sorry 😅

the falsettos modern au is just

whizzer, texting from work: hey I want the 🍆🍆🍑 2nite. K? 😘

marvin: okay

and then whizzer just comes home and marvin is sitting at the dining table reading whatever old men read in their free time and in front of him lies not one, but two grocery bags full of eggplants and peaches.

and whizzer is just. too stunned to speak.

thank you for your time

...guys, do you know what an art style is???? cuz', this seems pointed. I see what you mean. I completely agree.

But hear me out. Along with these posts, could we consider? Maybe? Some constructive criticism? People should draw them more accurate.

They SHOULD.

But how should they do it? Realism art? It's a foreign concept to me. I try and it absolutely fucking sucks and i'd love to be a part of this fandom showing that the characters are real people but

It's kind of

Just

Very "do this. No other explanation. Change it."

Look, I really want to. And I am trying. But could we like, make a space for teaching people? Cuz I am stumped dude like fr. Need some guidance.

guys. you do not understand

literally yelled out into my empty kitchen and flapped my hands around like

what is this

I'm back with more absolutely rabid analyzations!

I've kinda had this circling my mind for a while, but every time I find myself relistening to falsettos (the 2016 revival) I notice a very specific difference in the way marvin/christian borle sings from act one and two.

like, I'm sure it's MEANT to be different, of course, it's a sung-through musical and a difference in the way the actors sing when time passes makes logical sense...

but I've always kinda realized that in certain parts marvin just... has a higher voice, especially in act two.

there's some bits and pieces of it scattered throughout act one, but take ttofl for example, the whole time marvin relies solely on one note, and occasionally shifts up the octave but only when singing alongside or arguing against whizzer─ but technically it can also switch, shone in their fight about their disputes and regular diagreeance.

("won't,"⬆️ "don't"⬇️ "won't" ⬆️ "DON'T." ⬇️⬇️⬇️)

-for another example of them fighting and marvin actually pitching UP his voice to be over whizzer's, see the beginning when they are arguing about how many months they've been together.-

and thus, I have rallied up this info (could I be delusional? probably.) to bring you a headcanon, consisting of:

marvin pitching his voice down to fit the role of the more 'masculine' man.

I COULD BE WRONG. TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. BUT I HAVE CONVINCED MYSELF THIS IS SOMEWHAT REAL.

also I just thought it would make a good fic / oneshot premise, idk.

anyhow, take this as you will, I might've relistened to this album too many times and now my brain is scrambled.

marvin also just has a higher voice in my head because every other actor opposed to cborle, mostly, has a high /ish voice.

thank you for your time, lol, have fun knowing this exists 😁

"I'm best when I cheat", yeah, cheat on your WIFE, marvin

link to fic?

well, assuming this is about my last post, there are quite a few.

So, here are all the fics I could find in my history currently where Marvin has weight insecurities and Whizzer is like "oh fuck dude what nO I LOVE YOUU aND YOUR SQUISH" :

I'll try and find more later :)

I swear to God I've read this as a fic

marvin says he’s thinking about trying to lose some weight and whizzer throws himself to the ground on his knees and starts sobbing

Just a dream.... just ....a dream.

Well, at least I have the March of The Falsettos album on vinyl.

had a dream i went to a record store and they had EVERY marvin trilogy album on vinyl and i cried out of joy

Hey girly! Just wanted to say the good word.

CAT DADDY HAS A BIG BAG OF HAM CAT DADDY HAS A BIG BAG OF HAM CAT DADDY IS SLAYING THE DAY CAT DADDY MIGHT ACTUALLY BE GAY CAT DADDY HAS A BIG BAG OF HAM CAT DADDY HAS A BIG BAG OF HAM CAT DADDY HAS A BIG BAG OF HAM

I am.... deeply concerned for your sanity.

marvin with a boston accent, reblog if you agree

FALSETTOS RANT!

I cannot believe this controversy is actually a CONTROVERSY. we should all be in agreeance: Marvin is a gay man.

He is a homosexual. A man liker. A MAN WHO LIKES MEN.

Every instance in which he 'loves' women is completely fabricated! It's not actually him being infatuated with any aspect of the female freaking nature.

We shouldn't be arguing this point because there is NO point. Bisexual Marvin is a pipedream. Poof! Doesn't exist, thank you.

the next person that calls marvin bi is gonna acc die i swear to god im loosing my mind

reblog to give Chip Zien a tony award

Hi just wondering! Do you have an AO3?

yes I do!

I have more fic ideas in the works and one shots and such, but so far it's just a book of random falsettos fluff (that I hope to update soon).

here it is!

Heyyyyyyyyyy

It's ur favorite table member. Just wanted to ask you something

How do I get the butches interested in me? I'm trying to get over on the butch side with no luck :(

What can I do to draw in all of the butch baddies?

-love and ballads, the pelican harmer's gal.

my girly! hello 🫶

be yourself, slay, be gay do crime. listen to indie music. listen to girl in red.

definitely keep up the aesthetically pleasing lifestyle, and never stop the Oscar Wilde craze.

most importantly, have fun, be safe, and probably search the beach areas because that's where all the pretty and tall girls go. I've had many-a-crushes who I met at the beach lol.

also, don't crush on pelican harmers, they are def gonna end up bad for your health.

-your dearly beloved, the butch Oscar Wilde estranged parent

I would kill to have you overanalyze everything about Falsettos. Hope that didn't sound too threatening, I was joking, I'm just really into your analysis of the chess game :3

omg! I would love to analyze anything for you, man! 💗 I've pretty much picked everything out of a lot of the songs─ lil surprised I don't have my own corkboard with red twine commemorating my insanity on this musical lol

Looking through the album, the first option that came to mind might've been The Thrill of First Love but I think I'll take a break from toxic gays for just one moment and give you a strangely written analysis on Marvin at the Psychiatrist: A Three-Part Mini Opera, because of the different character pov's (i.e., Mendel, Jason, somewhat Whizzer, and of course, Marvin─ and I know Whizzer only announces each section of the song but hear me out, the theories are crazy and I'm obsessed with them and this song definitely factors into them aswell).

Basically, we'll start off with a quick look over Jason's lines, as he is the first character to speak/sing in the song. Right off the bat, we have him showing a HUGE disdain for love because of his father pretty much ruining his home life with the illusion of it. Well, maybe disdain is strong, but you get what I mean─ he's very reluctant to accept romance as an option for himself at all at this point because the wound is still very fresh from Marvin blowing up their family life, but yeah, also, he's a little preteen boy so it also makes sense for him to object to liking anyone just because of immaturity.

As we progress, Jason does a joint-therapy session with Marvin and they talk about outings and father/son bonding time gone badly wrong. He lets us in on his hyper-observance with his reaction to Marvin saying the pitcher they saw at a baseball game was handsome, and makes sure the audience is well aware he has some pretty conflicting emotions about his dad and his dad's sexuality. Especially given My Father's a Homo comes directly after this song, and in turn, also directly after this moment, so we know his feelings over Marvin and Whizzer (being that he enjoys Whizzer's company, seeing as Whizzer is the only adult who actually treats him like a kid and not like a victim or a baby or an average adult, like- but still) and their messy relationship.

It really makes me wonder on how it is when he's meant to go over to their apartment, since it's canonical that they live together and that Jason sees him regularly. And if they act terribly in front of him still. I assume Whizzer wouldn't allow that, another trait that gives Jason reason to side with him, because he seems like he really just doesn't want to completely, for lack of better words, fuck up Jason's whole childhood experience by being a part of it.

Now! Mendel isn't a complicated perspective, per say, just very eccentric. Especially assuming he asks MANY intrusive questions to a man who just openly came out as gay about his ex-wife and her sexual habits and such. This is where we tell him to go to horny jail.

(That's not the whole analysation, I swear─)

Mendel to me seems like he probably takes the initiative to not relay any of his clients actual info to other family members, but this song pretty much just proves he's incapable of brain-thought when he's horny. Which, yeah, that's hilarious that the only straight man is just thirsting over a woman to this gay guy. William Finn, you've done it again.

Anyhow, Mendel is pretty vital in this song. We get to see his psychiatry techniques, and with that, understand exactly what kind of situation Marvin's been, in taking therapy from him this whole time. The first part of the song is probably the best way of analyzing, since he's actually intelligible and giving Marvin advice. Well, that advice consists of telling him to ignore Whizzer's flaws and love him regardless, you can actually sorta see that at work in some aspects of the musical, even if he's constantly condescending to Whizzer throughout act one.

But generally, Marvin tends to take the exact opposite path that Mendel gives him, and basically just uses him as a venting device. Then again, Mendel is not to great at giving advice, as a neurotic little man who has like four mental breakdowns in the course of act one and two.

Next, Whizzer, of course. Short but sweet, or.. angsty? I've heard a few people theorize that Whizzer narrates the story ("Marvin at the psychiatrist, a three part mini opera, part one." "Part two." "Part three." "Psychiatrist, returning, returning! Five sessions later..." "A day in Falsettoland─ Doctor Mendel at work.") because after he dies, it sort of becomes his story of finding a true family and lover and son and being actually happy and knowing he lived well before he died really, tragically young, at least.

I'd like to take it a different direction, because I hate angst, and only sometimes tolerate it.

I've realized that Whizzer only actually narrates Mendel's shenanigans, which makes me think, especially with how he still does in act two, he gets to HEAR about the sessions. Whether it be from Marvin, or Jason, or Trina. Or even Mendel himself (this one's more act two based). It may introduce a new side because Whizzer doesn't go to therapy (shocker), but the people he's around all see this one guy so maybe he hears about the sessions and can relay them because he knows this one person's aspect of the story each time.

It wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to hear anything from Mendel in act one assuming they weren't close (at least not in the revival), and he doesn't marry Trina until Marvin and Whizzer are broken up, basically. But it would make more sense for him to get it from his boyfriend who absolutely loves to complain about any minor inconvenience in his life. I just think this could be an interesting perspective, because I've only ever seen that first theory and although somewhat fitting, I need less angst and more cool little headcanons in this fanbase please and thank you.

Finally, we go to Marvin. The star of the show, our princess with several disorders (we all know who our real queens are *stares directly at Trina and Whizzer*).

Throughout the entirety of this song, we see him barely entertaining Mendel with information. He's very vague, which probably stems from a life of secrecy and sneaking around. Although I presume he told Mendel about the affair while it was happening, or a few months in? Or Mendel just knew? Just by the general air of it, and how it seemed well-known by that point even though him and Trina only just divorced.

Marvin definitely keeps to himself, and waits for Mendel to butt in with something. Not so he can take his advice, but moreso so that he can kinda just. Have it, on hand? Or maybe so he can prove to himself that therapy is a hoax, because that certainly sounds like a Marvin thing to do.

Even while going through events with his son, he only states that eventually their interactions just go back to being stale and that they SHOULD be closer, without ever trying to actually make an effort (he assumes making an effort is taking Jason on outings even though they both prefer to stay inside, on their own. This definitely comes from his parents not doing anything with him as a kid, it's internalized so he pushes going out in public and doing what would be father/son outings onto Jason. It's something he never got to have, so he thinks that means he's fathering Jason better than average).

Not much to be said about that middle factor, besides the point of Marvin not knowing Trina was withholding love from him, which is interesting. Her character and lines definitely prevail that she was fed up with Marvin, but it could have just come out as indifference during their marriage. In I'm Breaking Down, she does make a point to state that she only wants a man to love her, so that could've been an overwhelming point in their marriage that Marvin remembers more vividly then her drifting away.

He did seem genuinely surprised when Mendel brought it up, so there is something there for sure.

But now, my dear silly, it's time for me to say adieu, because it's semi-late and I gotta update a fic draft :) but thank you sm for asking! made my day, it was so sweet. my inbox is always open for any suggestions, I'm really glad you like these little rants lol.

I'll try to post more soon 🫶

Goodnight!
