sometimes babygirl is a 51 year old two time tony award winner
I was researching names and their meanings for a fic that I'm writing and I came across two things that i found highly interesting.
First, the name Marvin generally has two meanings: "sea friend" or "great lord". Any people well versed in In Trousers will immediately think of the Columbus theme and How America Got Its Name here, of course. With the amount of overcompenating grandiosity, the second one also feels fitting.
But that's not all. Apparently, in 1960s Britain, Marvin was actually slang.
Hank Marvin = Starving - “I'm completely Marvin.” Hank Marvin was a guitarist in popular band during the 1960s. Cockneys took a shine to his name, and now you can announce your levels of hunger by including Hank, Marvin, or Hank Marvin in a sentence.
Again, this was a thing in Britain. But considering that Marvin is a repressed gay man, desperate (one might say starving wink, wink) for love, not to mention How Marvin Eats His Breakfast, I find this both funny and fitting.
SHOUT OUT TO MY AMAZING MOOT @exploderizing FOR ALL THE LIKES
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.
so i’m trying to make a falsettos timeline and i’ve been looking at weather forecasts from 1979 - 1981 trying to match it to the outfits they’re wearing to figure out the months and stuff like that so um yeah how do I stop
rebranded so i must make an intro post
i watched falsettos the other day and got infected and i need more people to talk to so hiiii :333
im avery i am trans man and gay!! my favourite character is whizzer i luv him and pleaaaaase talk to me about this stupid musical im so brainrotted
i also draw!!!! not done much falsettos yet but im getting there :333
when i’m actually studying for tests instead of watching falsettos for the third time today (I really struggle to manage my time when I get hyperfixated so i’m proud :) )
I think the reason why i love and fixate on falsettos so much is because its sung through,,like... There's so many hidden messages, And connections and subtle lore drop......

get it it’s because andrew rannells
