Here's a close up of my deconstructing the cube page if anyone wants to take a crack at building it yourself. Mines made out of wood scraps.
How I've broken it down was into directions (the first time we see it, the left side is 'east' and the right side is 'west'). You get it. Every block was assigned a letter so I could put it back perfectly every time cause so many of the blocks look the same but have a very slight size difference that throws the whole thing off if placed elsewhere.
The scale is not completely jacked beyond comprehension, but I started with one block and scaled the whole thing around that, so I really had no idea how big it would actually be. Mine is 7 by 6 inches.
Honestly looking at it now, idk how I did it.
It was mostly a process of fuck around and find out. I needed to use every version and bootleg I could to get every angle and see all the details and even then, I'm still confused.
To more or less ruin the illusion, there's a third triangle that doesn't fit anywhere and Whizzer's headstone replaced two blocks [H and I]. So those ones either hang out behind the cube or inside the pocket of space it has.
The whole thing I want to say took me like a week of sawing and sanding wood. (Minus the painting). But I was really determined to get it done before my interest wavered the slightest. Not that it did of course, I was eager to get to work on my next Falsettos-related project. [A hand carved chessboard set] if y'all want to see that, I'll be happy to show you.
Rest in peace William Finn.
To the man who never knew I existed, thank you. He helped me feel comfortable in my sexuality when I was most vulnerable (in middle school) while making it fun.
His music held my hand through the bullying and torment that comes with being queer. The songs that he wrote shielded me from ever listening to those harsh comments. Falsettos made me the person who I am today and I couldn’t be happier.
He pioneered openly gay media that wasn’t played as a joke. I know Rocky Horror Picture Show came out 3 years before In Trousers did but (as much as I love Rocky horror) the queer themes were played as a joke. William made Marvin a raw and flawed character that felt like a human being. He brought life to characters that resonated with the queer community at the very beginnings of the modern lgbtq movement.
It shatters me that he passed away at 73 while Trump is still alive. I especially feel bad for his husband, Arthur. Bill impacted the lives of millions of people and his music will continue to bring joy and hope to the queer community for years to come. What more can I say?
found a jacket today and it kinda looks like whizzer’s from the baseball game
now I just need a pink shirt
i’m gonna yap about falsettos for a second
in unlikely lovers there’s this one part where whizzer says “please go home and don’t be scared” and marvin replies “what’s the fuss? i’m not scared! what good is a lover who’s scared?”
this part makes me lose my mind every time i hear it bc marvin obviously is very scared but he thinks that if he shows any weakness that whizzer will think less of him even when he’s dying and he can’t bear to lose him now so he’s just keeping everything he feels in until the end of this song
hey guys i’m normal about falsettos!!! hbu!!!
Two truths and a lie:
“Do you know how great my life is?”
“Do you know all I want is you?”
“Everything will be alright!”
Ahem.

I’m so Not Normal about things like Falsettos that when my friends watch it and they’re like “yeah that was good” I’m almost more surprised than if they just didn’t like it. What do you mean you thought it was good. Are you NOT going to spend every night for the next week rewatching it? Do you NOT close your eyes and see Whizzer Brown? I don’t understand what that means.
trying to draw whizzer and marvin/ figure out their faces and the best way I can describe them is a soft square (whizzer) and a pointy circle (marvin)
hello!I just really like musicals and theatre at the moment :) (specifically falsettos , in trousers , and tbom)•I like to draw sometimes, friendly advice is welcomed!! always want to improve :)•I share headcanons/ theories (mostly falsettos) sometimes so feel free to add to them and whatnot!•also trying to learn piano if that interests you :)
