I've been up for an hour just crying and I can't get back to sleep

no but guys think about how cool an ASL staging of Hamilton would be

“talk less, smile more”

Lafayette combining ASL with French Sign Language

In “Farmer Refuted” Ham and Seabury go from simply trying to block their audience’s view of each other’s hands to actively slapping each other’s hands down mid-sentence

King George doesn’t deign to sign. He has the ensemble sign for him and gets pissed at how with each reprise there seem to be fewer and fewer ensemble members there to translate.

everybody’s name signs corresponding with their musical leitmotifs

apparently the ASL word for “helpless” can also be used to mean “speechless” in some contexts

during “Helpless,” if you look closely, you can see some of Alex and Angelica’s conversation from “Satisfied” being signed in the background

LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL THE SIGN FOR “WAIT” IS 

 THE GLORY THAT IS “GUNS AND SHIPS” IN ASL

everyone breaking apart to sign their own parts in “Non-Stop” in a beautiful visual explosion like I am dying just thinking about this

AGGRESSIVE CABINET BATTLE SIGNING

“The Room Where It Happens” being all about being shut out of conversations and decisions, there’s some new subtext to “hold your nose and close your eyes” because you can’t sign while holding your nose and you can’t watch others sign while closing your eyes

Phillip not being able to complete the “sept huit neuf” with Eliza because his hands are going limp as he dies and Eliza actually screaming

Burr’s signing in “Your Obedient Servant” getting more and more angry along with his writing, the syntax of which also changes until “Weehawken. Dawn. Guns. Drawn.” matches up exactly with Burr signing the words–he’s sick and tired of translating every thought into perfect English, he’s tired of signing less and smiling more, he is 100% done with this shit

during Ham’s final “I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory,” it’s not just the music that drops out, it’s the English translation. that’s right, y’all, HAMILTON’S FINAL MONOLOGUE IS ONLY IN ASL

at the end of it, he sets down his pistol prop and makes the ASL sign for “gun” AND RAISES THAT SIGN INTO THE AIR

WHEN ALEXANDER AIMS AT THE SKY, BURR IS STILL HOLDING HIS PISTOL, SO HE CAN’T SIGN HIS “WAIT”–HE HAS TO SCREAM IT WHILE THE ENSEMBLE SIGNS FOR HIM

for all the emphasis put on “who tells your story” and “being a part of/erasing myself from/putting myself back in the narrative,” there isn’t much explicit mention of speech and I think that’s beautiful

I have way too many feelings about this fictional production okay

i want cuddles so bad i’m so touch starved i need affection just fucking lie down on top of me and hug me and pet my hair and cuddle with me until we fall asleep

someone: veronica did nothing wrong

me, disturbed: no

someone: heather chandler did nothing wrong

me, laughing: no

someone: heather duke did nothing wrong

me, shaking my head: no

me, exasperated now: no

someone: kurt and ram did nothing wrong

me, offended: no

someone: betty finn and martha did nothing wrong

me: actually yes

The Eternal Struggle 📺

just like that, oh, now that’s heaven

most heartbreaking harry moments:

the breakdown in dumbledore’s office after sirius dies

“but sirius did not reappear”

spending all night watching james and lily in the mirror of erised

trying not to cry when mrs. weasley hugs him after the third task

kneeling by dumbledore’s body as the crowd gathered around him

visiting his parent’s graves in godric’s hollow and wishing he was under the snow with them

clutching dobby’s body outside of shell cottage

“stay close to me”
