Hey! I'm Michelangelo but everyone just calls me Angel. I enjoy sharing my thoughts and rebloging stuff, which I'm trying to do more of.

I am an enjoyer of the Book of Mormon musical, Dear Evan Hansen (please ask me about the Actor's Playhouse version), Batman and the rogues, Pokemon and more.

I am on tiktok and insta by the same handle (and most active on insta if you want to see shitposts). I very much enjoy interacting with fellow fans so please do reach out!

Here for fun, if need be I will edit this. Byee!!

don’t be shy spill the au (was literally re reading nosocomephobia last night)

It's basically nosocomephobia in premise but written by me and ray... and with its own (different) major twists. Everything is different but thats the most simple explanation. (Not spoiling just incase we decide to do something with it).

Me and @raysnewlow have spent this afternoon concocting the most angsty abomination of a BOM au

#we’re actually insane #have you guys read nosocomephobia #this is worse #book of mormon

I have found that most people don't understand the nuance within a lot of relationships (especially real and fictional queer ones), but I was surprised by this in the Falsettos fandom more than anywhere else.

There was first a tendency to characterize Marvin as a stereotypical "abusive man" and Whizzer as a twink, but now there seems to be a push towards arguing Whizzer is "much more masculine" than his lover, which is an equally dubious assumption.

I definitely understand the wish to protect Whizzer's honor against the years of aggressive mischaracterization, but claiming he is fundamentally more masculine than Marvin does not do this. It just shoves them back into the exact gendered boxes that the trilogy is about escaping from.

There aren't designated "masculine" or "feminine" roles in Marvin and Whizzer's relationship, because they're written as conscientious queer men. They express themselves without extreme concern over where their traits and interests fall in the arbitrary masculine-feminine binary, because their experiences as queer people have taught them how stupid those gender roles are. To view one of them as meaningfully more masculine than the other is to totally disregard what is possibly the most central theme in the trilogy.

There's a reason why the theme from In Trousers (The Dream) plays at the end of Falsettoland: the idea Marvin (a mouthpiece for William Finn) held about gender roles–they keep people from being themselves and finding genuine love–has finally unraveled before him in the wake of this loss. If you are a queer person and you try to plug people into set gender dynamics, you are doing your community and those who died to build it up a disservice. If you are a Marvin Trilogy fan and you are doing the same to the musicals' characters, you are being ignorant of its messaging.

Everyone needs to be more critical about the ideas they perpetuate through the fiction they consume and create, especially when it comes to race, class and gender. That being said, I understand how hard it is to find the time to learn and think about these things; unfortunately, we can't all be bell hooks. We just have to remember that if we deny people the right to have relationships free of these oppressive societal dynamics, we deny ourselves the right to find the type of honest connection that makes life fulfilling–and if you, like me, enjoy making friends over Falsettos, that would definitely be a shame.

Another beautiful day of Ray having objectively correct opinions and being kind enough to share them

raysnewlow

You’re very sweet, but more importantly your notes are very true! A lot of Falsettos fans are very young and just genuinely haven’t gotten the chance to explore these topics deeply, which I can’t exactly blame them for. I’m still very young, and I’m sure there are countless details I’ve missed. I just think it’s worth discussing the issue.
