I've been thinking about this recently 😭
"life is lonley, life is rotten, and thankfully short, thankfully short, thankfully SHORT!"
"...like Marvin!"
and
"Short insomiacssssss and a teeny-tiny band!" how I love you
also I am just constantly thinking about Chip Zien's Marvin, almost every hour of every day. thank you
Chip Zien: *is in a William Finn musical*
William Finn writing the lyrics: 🎶 He is SO fucking SHORT 🎶
DUDE EVERY SINGLE TIME I LISTEN TO TWIN SIZED MATTRESS OR BE NICE TO ME, JUST:
Nik that's a lot of The Front Bottoms are you okay

dk, you can give me random shows and etc and if i know what they are decently well then i’ll write whatever ya want for them :p
so fuckin bored lol
so how bout if I made a straw page
he has. I would know. I'm the falsettos stage backdrop.
okay but whizzer has most definitely picked marvin up like this at least once
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
reblog this with falsettos/in trousers and/or falsettos/in trousers cast (any of them) photos you want me to redraw I am BORED fellas
me n who
fun date idea: we watch the entire marvin trilogy and cuddle
i've been seeing a lot of falsettos posts recently deconstructing the fandoms beliefs and firstly
holy fuck thank you, i try to steer clear of fandom (and fandom-izing thereof) drama but this is getting a lot more visible recently so here's some little tidbits for you
whizzer brown is not an unflawed character!
okay so i haven't seen enough dissecting this but!!! in the chess game!
the whole point of marvin using that game to determine the ending of their relationship is because he suspects whizzer is constantly deceiving him and wants to prove it.
whizzer LITERALLY proves him right!
he asks marvin to help him along (yes i know he says he doesn't want help, hear me out, it's a little more complex than that) and takes advantage of the fact that marvin is- like- infatuated with him.
he draws him into a sense of false security then starts throwing accusations at him ("since you need a man!" "what?" "who's 'brainy'," "or witty, move.") until hes able to win, which he does with ease because he's been using marvin having this idea that he isn't smart against him.
of course, marvin's side of this isn't the best either but honestly, for once the fandom should focus on a different character when they think 'insane asshole'. typically we should also probably change our perspectives a little to be more unbiased cuz fr guys, this is getting really.. annoying.
i understand he's the most visibly flawed but that doesn't excuse constantly picking the worst parts of this musical (without other context, btw) to use against him.
and this post certainly isn't here to excuse anyone either i've just got a lot of opinions that i wanted to share while falsettos is.. trending? right?
2. marvin's (headcanoned but still somewhat researched) autism
this one isn't brought up as much but when i do see it around, it's kind of a skewed viewpoint.
while rewatching bits of the proshot i realized a lot of different neurodivergent traits that he shows-
he's helpless during I Never Wanted to Love You and is childish and regressive when he's upset (not every autistic person is like this either, i know this is a bit of a touchy subject so i just wanted to add that).
usually when people depict it i see it either toned down or joked about which is fine when all in good fun, and when its done respectfully.
not here to attack anyone, just here to point it out and say that yes :) he most likely is neurodivergent, but despite that his actions aren't condoned. he's still kinda a dick who needs to get his shit together
3. ..the lesbians also have shit going on?
just putting this out there- I DON'T SEE ENOUGH FOR THE LESBIANS! OR TRINA!
the girls in this musical are like thoroughly neglected and i think that's kind of shitty just assuming the fact that william finn put them in to demonstrate how gender roles put people in degrading positions (and he even makes it more prevalent by showing marvin as something like a misogynistic character who forces whizzer into more feminine roles to show the audience what woman have to/had to go through in society).
anyways, the lesbians aren't just there guys. they have a plotline too. in Something Bad is Happening, you derive a lot from charlotte singing about the outbreak of HIV/AIDS and realize how she operates on a daily basis (she's passionate about her work and takes every bad day as a hit to her life and career, explaining in a way that as a black, jewish, lesbian, FEMALE doctor in this time, everything that goes wrong is immediately brought down on her so much more than it would as any straight white male pharmacist-).
cordelia on the other hand has to handle the fact that her girlfriend is so adamant about her work ethic that she can't actually be super present in their relationship at times like that.
but either way she still sticks by her and is constantly trying to be supportive and endearing despite feeling like she's not amounting to her gf who's basically a hero in her eyes.
i kinda just wanted to bring that up because they mean a lot to me and they don't get enough love from the fanbase, thank you for listening to my TED talk <3
I'm back! (to wreak havoc, of course) welcome to my chaos, it's gone un-updated for.. one year? two, mayhaps?anyhow, hello!enjoy my gorgeous insanity
