Prompt: ANONYMOUS: If requests are a thing and you somehow manage to find sparetime…poly!hamilsquad x reader where the reader has a chronic pain disease (think Ehlers Danlos syndrome or lupus or whatever you want) and hamilsquad taking care of reader during bad pain day?

Pairing: Poly!Hamilsquad X Reader

TW: mentions of chronic pain, Lupus disease, gay sex-not detailed but mentioned, fluff???

A/N: Hey guys! Sorry this took so long for me to write! I’m really excited about this piece, so thank you to the anon that requested it! I did some research on this disease, and I tried my best to accurately portray it, but I do not have these disease, therefore I cannot 100% accurately portray it or begin to understand how it feels to have this. Please, if something is inaccurate, let me know so that I can fix it. Please! I love y'all a bunch! I hope you enjoy it!

Right from the start, you knew it was going to be a bad day. You felt like you hadn’t slept in days. Was this how Alex always felt? Your joints and muscles were stiff and sore, and you knew that today would be futile. You couldn’t help it; you teared up. It wasn’t anything new. You’d been living with Lupus since you were twelve, but the bad days still felt fresh. You were frustrated with your disease. You felt like you couldn’t win. Every day, it felt like the same struggle. It was never going to get better. It would never go away. Angry tears slipped down your cheeks, and you sniffled, snuggling into the crook of John’s neck. The movement ached, but you worked through it. You always had to. It was always something. John groaned and rolled over, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you closer, causing you to grunt in pain. His eyelids fluttered open at the sound, and he immediately focused on the tears that fell down your cheeks.

“Sugar, what’s wrong?” His southern drawl was thick with sleep as he slipped a hand up to caress your cheek. He brushed your tears away with his thumb.

“Bad day,” you whispered to him, and he bit his lip. He nodded in understanding, and then he pecked you on the forehead. He carefully moved out of Lafayette’s hold on him and separated his legs from the tangle they were in with Alex’s. Once he was out of the tangle, he gently shook awake Lafayette. Laf was a doctor at the local hospital, and although he was not a rheumatologist, he did know the basics.

In a wild turn of events, it turns out I actually have lupus. Go figure. Anyway, today is a bad day and it reminded me of this fic.

[azuralsblog]

Wishing there was more female centered franchises:/ like most of the iconic franchises are mostly male lead and sadly Hollywood has problems writing female characters that aren't absolutely flawless like captain marvel ,often sexualized for the male gaze or getting the "women in refrigerator" treatment

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

And mostly white male-led ones, too. I would love to see more Black female-led ones. But when we do get them(Black or not) the franchise gets accused of “hating on men” “having too many female characters, the scales are too tipped in their favor, it’s unrealistic and improbable”, and are immediately dismissed on the basis of being girly, oh, and nobody will admit they liked it if it is girly(or if they do they’ll pretend it’s not girly because girls suck so anything made for girls can’t be good, it must be male-adjacent.). Or they’ll just hype up the male characters instead. You know who you are. And if it’s not any of the above? It’s a harem. 

Most of the biggest and most recognizable shows and franchises are male-led, most of the most iconic and famous characters and mascots are male, most public domain characters are male, men get to do everything, women get to be wooed and look pretty. There is no reason for women to be so brutally and ruthlessly excluded other than blatant, outright misogyny. We need to do better as a fandom and as a society. We owe it to women everywhere to give them female characters they can project onto and enjoy(of course, a little intersectionality doesn’t hurt either, ykyk. >U<). 

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

After reading all of the anti-Hamilton posts on Tumblr because I’m late and slow I genuinely want to hear people’s opinions on the color-blind casting of SIX: The Musical. 

I mean I get that it’s different because obviously it’s not about, you know, fucking SLAVE OWNERS AND COLONIZERS!!! 

But the thing about racebending of real-life historical figures who were pasty spice-less white, especially when they’re women and the goal is championing women’s rights is that, despite a Black woman or woman of color in the role, it often fails to be intersectional. Like, they’ll talk about the sexism and oppression women face, right? But because the original historical figures were white and not whatever race the WOC actress is, they can’t(or at least don’t) touch on issues specifically relating to women of color and that’s often a let-down for me. 

It was the same thing in SIX: The Musical too. Different races of women face different forms of oppression; the oppression Black women face is not the same as what Asian women face, what Latina women face is not the same as what Native-American women face, even though all are equally bad and wrong, and white women, although also oppressed in a society that hates women in general with a burning passion, are still privileged over women of color and so don’t face the same or equal amount of oppression and sexism/misogyny as them, and what they may perceive to be oppression others may perceive to be freedom or liberation from the patriarchy(such as being traditionally feminine). So it often falls flat in that aspect because even if the musical casts Catherine of Aragon as Black and Anne Boleyn as East Asian and Katherine Howard as Indian or something like that, in real-life, the Queens were all white. Not hating on SIX, BTW, it’s definitely not racist and is nowhere near as anti-Black as Hamilton, a modern-day minstrel show with singing and dancing colonizers only they’re Black. It’s actually my favorite musical(I think it’s the only musical for which I know all the songs, lol; Mean Girls is a close second btw.). But it’s something that keeps me up at night. 

Racebending isn’t always bad but maybe focus on telling more stories about either figures that were historically Black women/WOC or original stories about fictional Black female/WOC characters? Just a thought.

unidentified. I hate that our history was never cared about enough to be recorded and/or erased.

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

@euphorianbabe That’s a very interesting point! 

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

My heart breaks for the people in Ukraine, really, it does, but if there’s anything that the situation has taught me, it’s that it doesn’t matter what the time period, the country, the social climate, or even what’s at stake. White people will always find time to be racist and enforce segregation and white supremacy. 

[betweenthescarletmoon]

Heard about it in class today… I cannot believe our world can dare do this when people could very well die.

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

Of course…but to them. Black lives do not matter. They don’t care about our lives. They don’t care that we could die. If anything, they want us to. 

I’m seriously wondering if maybe the ultimate goal of white supremacy isn’t just white domination but the complete erasure of every other race off the face of the earth as well. 

[bibluemoon]

just like it’s important that we let people embrace and be flamboyant with their gender, we must allow people to have gender be a nonimportant part of their identity. a cis woman can love being feminine and claim her womanhood loud and proud, just like another cis woman can just be ‘whatever’ about it. a trans woman can be hyperfeminine and proud, while another can just say ‘yeah i’m a woman’ without it being a gigantic deal to her. a non-binary person doesn’t have to be constantly torn up about their gender identity to be non-binary. all experiences of gender are unique and valid in their own way.

[galadhir]

If gender makes no sense to you, you are allowed to just give up and ignore it

Hello, pause for a sec.

Many places are removing masking requirements. And I’m here to ask, if you are young and able-bodied, please keep wearing a mask anyways. We’ve known for two years that masks protect others more than they protect yourself, and that masks work when most people are wearing them. If only at-risk individuals are masking, they’re more at risk.

Protect others. Help disabled people exist safely in public. Wear a mask.

[hamilkilo]

I really don’t understand how some people hate Hamilton. Here’s some reasons why I love it:

• it was written by a man of color, Lin Manuel Miranda, to modernize and retell the story of the founding of the US and the overall impact an immigrant faced in an up and coming nation

• the roles were specifically written for people of color to play the characters because of the white washing in the media, but specifically Broadway (there was an entire scandal surrounding this casting choice in 2016)

• it emphasized the roles that immigrants played in the founding of the country but also in the modern day America

• not to mention that Lin Manuel Miranda speaks out about a variety of issues in America and he even went as far as to open Hamilton in Puerto Rico to raise money to rebuild their country after the hurricanes

• The musical gives a voice to people of color and gives them a place in a retelling of history that they were largely not included in, especially in our text books and classrooms

• it empowers women throughout the musical, showing different dynamics and types of powerful women (Angelica compared to Eliza)

• it expresses the duality of each character and while Aaron Burr is the anti-hero, he isn’t a villain. It shows motivation and angle behind each character’s action

• it shows us people of color in powerful positions! It gives THREE presidents of color and the only white person in the musical was King George III

• Hamilton is a relateable character. Specifically his line from Hurricane, “When my prayers to God we’re met with indifference, I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance!” That’s so powerful!!!

• Lin chose the hip hop/R&B style music because he thought it was the sound of America and it represented the country.

These are just a handful from the top of my head. I like Hamilton because I find Alexander Hamilton to be an inspiring, relatable, flawed, and outspoken character. His ability to take a stand and constantly voice his opinions are what I aspire to do as well. He was outspoken and bold in the middle of a revolution, and he went after what he wanted. Despite his flaws and mistakes, he is still one of my favorite fictional (the musical portrayal is fictional imho) characters that still inspires me to this day. I could write an entire essay about the musical, but I’ll spare you.

During these difficult times, I hope you can be like Hamilton: strong in the face of adversity and unafraid to punch the assholes that get in your way. Support those around you and stand with our Black friends. Black Lives Matter!

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

Blah blah blah and here’s why we hate it: 

* It glorifies the founding fathers, European colonizers, and slave owners. 

* It’s written by a non-Black man with no connection to slavery and who has no right to make commentary on it in any way. 

* It’s true that it might cast non-white people in the main cast…as slave owners and colonizers. 

* “Sally, be a lamb darling, won’t you open it?” *vomiting intensifies* 

* Miss me with the idea that Hamilton is fucking feminist lmao. There are four women, I repeat, FOUR WOMEN, in the play, only 14 of the 46 songs are sung by women. All of them play a peripheral love interest role to Hamilton, even Angelica, who in real life was already happily married by the time she met Hamilton, and in the musical is supposed to be his intellectual equal, and yet all she gets to do is sing and rap about…her feelings for him and the love triangle between them and her sister. The only exception to this role is Peggy, who…umm, disappears. It doesn’t pass the bare minimum of the Bechdel test. The women of the play are not powerful feminists, they are pawns designed to further Alexander’s journey and exist in relation to him. Them snapping their fingers and saying they’ll include women in the sequel is just a “you go girl!” moment, it’s all for show. We as a society are just so used to the “bare minimum of women is enough or even majority women, just make them give sassy quips and act ‘BADASS’ and boom, you’ve got a feminist narrative!” that we accept stories like these even outside of the colonist propaganda aspect of it all as feminist. Despite there being actual feminist musicals that put women at their center out there that are much, MUCH better and less problematic than Hamilton. Mean Girls? Heathers? SIX? The Color Purple? Hello? But no just focus on the musical with like four women whose only feminist moment is asking to be a part of the narrative. 

* Say No to This 

* It doesn’t give POC a voice so much as it has them play the role of historically white founding fathers and colonizers who were involved with the slave trade. 

* Alexander is not a relatable hero. He’s a racist colonist who married into a family of slaveowners. 

Is that enough for you? 

Although: 

During these difficult times, I hope you can be like Hamilton: strong in the face of adversity and unafraid to punch the assholes that get in your way. Support those around you and stand with our Black friends. Black Lives Matter! 

Good God. Some people are unable to be reasoned with.

Hey! So I made this post years ago, and I totally forgot about it and this blog for a while, but I definitely agree with what this person is saying and I think it’s important to read!

I am sorry. I was wrong. My original post is tone deaf, flawed, and wrong on several accounts. Thank you to @thisismisogynoir for their contribution and corrections.

I thought about deleting this post when it came back up, but this person shares a lot of important information that we should know as we consume or engage with this media.

I hope you take the time out of your day to read this, listen to Black voices on this matter, and do your research.

I will do better in the future. Thank you for correcting me and holding me accountable.
