Alexander Hamilton: described himself as a jealous lover when John Laurens didn’t answer his letters, also said how even though he’s married a part of his heart will always be Laurens, repeatedly says “I love you” to him
Historians: …..they were good friends, just good friends. Guys being guys

Lafayette was recalled to Valley Forge. ‘My only desire is to join you,’ he purred in a letter to Washington….[Upon return,] Lafayette wept. Then he hugged Washington. Washington, I’m guessing, blushed.

A few hamilton thoughts

  • I know I already made a post about how Non-Stop makes it sound like Hamilton showed up at Burr’s place for a booty call but it sounds exactly like Hamilton showed up at Burr’s place for a booty call
  • the letter writing in The Election of 1800 makes it sound like Hamilton runs an advice column in the local newspaper
  • “Talk less, smile more” sounds like Burr is a creepy sexist guy hitting on female Hamilton in a bar
  • Farmer Refuted is just Hamilton muttering sarcastically under his breath and slowly getting louder and louder until he’s heckling from the back of the crowd
  • You’ll Be Back sounds like King George is like, grabbing members of the ensemble to waltz with randomly
  • “At the right hand of the father” George Washington confirmed for God, Hamilton grudgingly recruited for Jesus
  • I have no idea if Burr exited at the end of Aaron Burr, Sir, but I like to imagine that during My Shot and The Story of Tonight he’s sitting in a booth in the back of the bar reading a book and trying to ignore everyone else
