Falsettos - Blog Posts
Idea: Every musical takes place at the same time, in the same universe, and it’s a pitch perfect au
You forget that he also asked his child "Where my hug at?"
marvin unironically saying “you’re looking sweeter than a donut” is insane
Whizzer definitely likes Chappel Roan and queen and yeah
Marvin likes classical music idk what it is about him that guy likes beethoven
Marvin and whizzer wouldn't get married if they could I don't think
I'm crying I just woke up
I finished this WAY faster than I thought I would (and also faster than I should have)
Enjoy!
I love in trousers but wtf does he mean "crack your feet"
A post in one of the falsettos communities has made me think about what month all of the characters were born so here that is
Marvin: January
Whizzer: June
Jason: November
Mendel: September (maybe also November)
Trina: March (hehe reference)
Charlotte: July
Cordelia: May
Caroline: February
These are objectively correct but I'm willing to hear other people's theories
This is crazy and only 26 notes is wild
Now seems like a good time to do this
First of all, rip to William Finn, that legend is missed
But I wanted to introduce y'all to my
Falsettos binder
An entirely hand written book of all the (dialogue? Lyrics?) of the entire musical.
Based on the revival 'cause that one's my favorite.
We got: in depth analysis of every bit of significance in nearly every line. Dumb thoughts of mine. And memes.
[I'm not exaggerating when I said I went through eight packs of sticky notes]
The point
A probably incorrect timeline based on a few dates and hella real world assumptions
Pencil/colored pencil drawings featuring every character's musical assigned colors and me-assigned chess pieces
Depressing watercolor paintings
A cobbled together study on the chess pieces used in "the chess game" cause they look so strange and are never used again
An extensive study on the cube which I used to build the whole thing functionally in the real world
What I call ✨ notes on a scene✨
Which is commentary and observations of every bootleg production I've seen.
There's also an In Trouser analysis in here somewhere, but alas, I have reached the image limit.
Perhaps you can tell I'm just slightly feral for this musical and had a bit too much free time a couple months back.
Oh you did not just make me realise this
William Finn died today and I never got a chance to meet him and tell him how much his work has changed my life and I think that’s a wound that’s gonna hurt for the rest of my life.
Shout out to the guy from the in trousers trinity college recording with a frequent cough he is me.
Holy fuck this is amazing what
falsettos stuff cuz I got the brain worms real bad :P
Also censoring bald spot like wtf????
whar was the point in the proshot getting rid of a few swears when they say the word bitch 60 times in the first 3 minutes of the musical like at that point why try
No fr cuz there's like two and I don't like the voices of the creator of either
„oh, how are you felix?“
me: definitely not crying at the lack of falsettos video essays because the marvin trilogy is such a wonderful collection of cleverly crafted musicals, and my one and only desire is to become at least somewhat like howard ho and hamilton but for tmt
also me „yeah no im good!“
"Thank you" I guess to @mintgreen-homewrecker for convincing me to read the Mendel dirt fic. Im only mildly traumatised so thanks pal. Also this is trauma bonding we are best friends now. thanks.
Why can't everyone head cannon the same things as me so all fan media of everything aligns with my exact view of the characters. Please have this fixed immediately.
I return... With the extreme character development of a new obsession
