the “turning a character into a baby” trope is actually like super present in fandom space. I personally don’t get it but I have seen it like literally everywhere

I feel so bad for the new actors who were harassed over taking over roles from the og cast.

as a hamilton fan, i started shaking when i saw miku binder jefferson on the thumbnail

I’ll never forget how much of the fandom is misogynistic towards Eliza’s character for “getting in the way” of a gay couple. Its the kind of shipping toxicity that I wish stays buried in the hellhole of 2015’s tumblr.

As somebody who was never in the Hamilton fandom, this was kind of like looking at a strange new species as a field research project. Completely alien to me lol, the art is soo good oh my gosh!! i love the way you shade and color very inspiring ahhhhdgjdjkgk,,!!

One of the most interesting things about only experiencing Hamilton through animatics before seeing it, was how Peggy would be portrayed as the sweet, innocent, shy one during Schuyler Sisters. Then when seeing it live (not the og cast and long before Disney+) Peggy was portrayed more like a bratty teen being dragged along by her parents. I can’t remember how she is in the Disney+ version but it always stuck with me how vastly different her characterization could be from just a few lines with nothing but body language.

Martha was John Laurens' real wife in history. Apparently, he got married to her after she got pregnant, and he stuck around until he went back to the colonies to fight in the war (he met her abroad in college in Europe). I actually don't know this from the fandom but because I find history fun.

John Laurens wasn't even that into turtles to my knowledge. if anything he drew more birds

my main issue with the fandom is how people forget these were real people at one point and take things (like headcanons) out of hand

whew talk about a blast from the past 😳 galactibun was definetly the first to popularize the animatics era, since they were the ones to inspire me to make my first hamilton animatic! also nice video and thank u for mentioning me :33 its funny because it brings back happy memories and middle school cringe all at once

I like to tell people that I discovered Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure/Tangled the Animated Show via randomly finding an animatic of a Hamilton Zombie Apocalypse AU featuring Laurens attempting to save Hamilton by using the blood of the Schuyler Sisters(?) while Lafeyette and others come to rescue them. Set to Ready As I'll Ever Be. I can't find it anymore but it was a wild ride and also the song was such a bop it got me into a totally different series, which I love to this day!

That  "I met God shes black" Jefferson drawing is sending me. they literally made it a point that he owned slaves in cabinet battle 1.

I remember when I first joined the fandom I was very confused about the whole shipping and AU stuff. Not to say I didn't know what it was, I had been in fandom places before, but I felt uncomfortable ever joining in since they were real people and I was scared the ghosts of the Founding Fathers would haunt me

Oh man. The ham4ham, the groffsauce/lin shipping. The calling cast members "cinnamon rolls", the amino, the Hamilton mixtape, THE WEIRD AL MASHUP. This awakened the need to see a Hamilton iceberg video jsut to prove to myself it was all real.

The fact that people never realise the actual HISTORY behind it is hilarious because the history is more brutal than the musical itself

I’m what I like to call a “sideline fan” of Hamilton. The music is amazing, the intensity and insanity of the fandom scares me

As a Hamilton fan at 13-15 who is now 20, this video woke up an entirely inactive section of my brain. The shipping, the fanfictions, the amino, the texting stories, the animatics, the YouTube compilations, the memes…this video felt like an acid trip😭

It’s insane how so many people, including me at one point, couldn’t stand casts other than the og broadway one. I wouldn’t go harass anyone but i sure felt disappointed. Now that I’ve actually watched Hamilton twice on west end (it’s more accessible for me), I LOVE WATCHING DIFFERENT CASTS?? It’s so fun to watch different interpretations of the same characters and the same story and lines and songs?? Like genuinely not in a “whatever Hamilton is Hamilton” copium way, but in a genuinely appreciative way. Listening to musicals has been so much more fun ever since I adopted this mindset.

I used to bully a girl who was in the fandom, and then go home and listen to the soundtrack 😭

The 'this character is a baby now and other characters raise them' is a common-ish trope on japanese sites like Pixiv, so maybe that's where they got the baby au?
