How DOES Marvin eat his breakfast

With HATRED.

…. And eggies over spinach over toast.

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.

then I start violently sobbing

Can you just imagine. Marvin and Whizzer. They're back together. There's no more of that raw aggression, there's cheeky jabs and jokes. The passion isn't the fighting, it's the time spent together. They've probably learned to talk together. They're sincere, they're open with their feelings, they're in love

Then AIDS

Second part of the cube for user wearingpants.

And of course my phone camera went caput. The cylinder is 1 inch diameter by 1 3/4 inch.

Marvin's name

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.

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!!!

“Four Jews in a Room” is actually right because Marvin, Jason, Mendel, and Trina are usually seen together while Whizzer (the only half Jewish person) is more isolated and moreso the narrator of the family rather than a part of it/ in the room, so to speak
