You hear that, Lin-Manuel Miranda?? Youâve got a lot of fucking nerve.Â
If Alexander Hamilton was a bag of potato chips, what flavor potato chips would he be?
Hmm maybe barbecue?
YeahâŚhe really gets roasted by Angelica in The Reynolds PamphletÂ
I think Aaron Burr would be original flavor. Because he is inimitable. He is an original. :)
Most of the time a.ham is SALTY tho
Okay everyone. Here is the NEW, OFFICIAL list
(I organized it by Ham, Vice Prez, and Prez at the time of Hamâs death / The Schuyler Sisters / The Squad)
This is official ppl someone tag Lin xD
@linmanuel do you agree with this list?
why the fuck is this so accurate
holy shit that link is an entire hour worth of Angelica's part of The Reynold's Pamphlet. it's been fifteen minutes and I'm still listening to her make that lemonade
name one hero who was happy
(your lip splits when you open your mouth) (thereâs greed dripping out of the crack) (it tastes of salvation)
name one hero who was happy
(is your tongue heavy?) (do you taste blood?)
name one hero who was happy
(when did you stop being mortal?)
name one hero who was happy
(was it ever about happiness?)
some people are born with tragedy in their blood | r.m
After many years of traveling through the Delta Quadrant Janeway finally gives up reinforcing Starfleet Uniform standard. Now everyone on the ship goes about their usual business but in different outfits. Janeway gives orders in her sparkly white tuxedo while Tom Paris applies coordinates in an old fashion aviator jacket and goggles. B'Elanna figures out complex space-time equations while lounging in her pajamas all day in engineering. Seven of Nine discovers the fashionable comfort of a simple tank top with jeans. Chakotay decides to get in touch with nature and goes around the ship completely naked. The doctor now free of appearance standards gives up representing the typical humanoid form in favor of abstraction and edits his program so heâs nothing but a floating disembodied talking head. Only Tuvok and Neelix remain the same as the ship plummets further into unrestrained madness.
Constantly torn between âif I show symptoms Iâm real and validâ and âI canât show any symptoms because then Iâll be a bother so I have to internalize everything.â
Dont forget âif I can control my symptoms are they still validâ
And âif I show symptoms Iâm manipulating the people around meâ
Also âif I donât show symptoms at any given moment Iâm lying about having a mental illness and everything is an overreactionâ
At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job. At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.Â
At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school. Â At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.
At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter. At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker. At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didnât get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didnât release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didnât get his first movie role until he was 46.
Morgan Freeman landed his first movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didnât begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didnât become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You arenât a failure because you havenât found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, itâs okay if you donât even know what your dream is yet. Even if youâre flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where youâll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself youâre too old to make it.Â
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.Â
Never tell yourself that you arenât good enough.Â
You can do it. Whatever it is.Â

Working in Retail in under 3 minutes
i had to watch this like 5 times because of no captions but lmao if someone makes a transcript for this it would be bomb
transcript: âSo we have these Santas at work, right, okay? We have black and we have white Santas. And theyâre like creepy, five-foot tall, lifelike animatronic⌠like, Santas that hold plates of cookies and milk, and they kinda look like they could wake up and come to life and murder you in your sleepâ and they donât include batteries, but we have these Santas. Like nothing screams âfestive holiday cheerâ like a big, hulking Santa. Um. Nothinâ will jingle your jangles more. So, um, this woman comes in and sheâs like, âDo you have these?â and Iâm like, âOh my god, yeah!â So a couple weeks ago we sold out of our white Santas, and we are down to like, three black Santas. And so, I take her to the aisle, I show her the Santas, and the first thing out of her mouth is, âIâm not racist, butâŚâ and Iâm like, well, I canâtâ Iâm not in the position to decide if you are or not, but if likeâ if I could use context clues and infer, uh, I would say maybe that you might be. And three, weâre talking about Santa. Likeâ (stuttering) did we switch subjects? And so, um, Iâm in like, Iâ the next thing that pops out of her mouth is like, âThis is not right.â and Iâm like, okay, Iâm sorry, but this is what the picture was. And sheâs like, âNo. Santa is white.â And Iâm like, oh no, okay. Okay. So Iâm inâ Iâm about to tell her, Iâm like, mid-sentence, like, âIâm sorry, do you want me to go call another store, do you need me to, like, write you a raincheck just in case we we get any more.â And sheâs like, âThis is wrong, I want them taken down.â She interrupts me, says that, and Iâm like, (pause). I like, look around, and Iâm like, is she talking to me? Is this, like, my own, like, personal hell? But like, of course it is. So, um, Iâm like, âI canât take these Santas down.â And sheâs like, âWhy not?!â And Iâm like, âYou either have to buy them, or take them down yourself.â And that was like, the stupidest thing I could have ever said, becauseâ (sighs) she takes this bag, with like, Jesusâs face, like, slammed right in the middle as a designâ itâs bigâ she takes it off her shoulder, and starts beating these black Santas! She starts beating these Santas down, they were like, falling down⌠and Iâm like, oh my god! Whatâ what is happening? So like, I step in the middle of her and these Santas and Iâm like, âMaâam, maâam, you need to leave, you need to stop, or Iâm going to have to call someone.â So she like, stops, and sheâs like, beet red, and like, huffinâ and puffinâ, and she like, looks at me and I can tell sheâs just trying to get like, a one-liner in, and sheâs like, âThe Santa I know is white.â And then she walks away. And Iâm like, wellâ Iâm processing whatâs happening, while also thinking, like, the Santa you know? Santaâs not real. So unless youâre using an ouija board to contact good old Kris Kringle, um, from like, B.C. or whenever, Iâm like, thatâs pretty impressive, but how ya doinâ that. And, um, Iâ the last thought that ran through my mind is that, Iâm like, I would hate to be in the room with her when she finds out that Jesus is not white.â

Finnâs sexual awakening took place while he lived a crowded barracks amidst like a hundred other people, and Reyâs sexual awakening took place while she lived in an abandoned AT-AT miles away from anyone else, so Finnâs approach to masturbation is like âbe still, be quiet, pretend you are still asleep and nothing is happening under this blanket, what could possibly be happening under this blanket? nothing because Iâm asleep,â and Reyâs is like âtime for screaming, it is scream timeâÂ
Which means they first time they combine their mutual sexual experience, it just stops halfway through so they can both be like, âUMMM SO IâM HAVING A GREAT TIME BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOINGâ
#rey: âare youâŚ..enjoying this?â #finn: âthis is literally the greatest moment of my lifeâ #rey: âthen why are you being so silent?â #finn: âthe real question is WHY ARE YOU YELLING THEREâS SO MUCH YELLINGâ #and poe from the next room over is like âfinn has a point there sure is a lot of yelling happening at two in the morningâ
So, when I was doing my thesis on whether or not fanfiction should be considered a legitimate genre of literature, my advising professor asked me for examples.  I gave him the generic ones, of course - âPride & Prejudice and Zombiesâ is a horror fanfic of âPride & Prejudiceâ, â50 Shades of Greyâ is an erotica fic of âTwilight" - and that seemed to make him understand what fanfiction is, but not how itâs useful.  So I thought about it, and, after about a minute, I said, âParadise Lost is basically a fanfiction of the Book of Genesis.  And The Divine Comedy is an epic self-insertion fic for Catholic doctrine.  So, basically, you were teaching us fanfiction last semester.â  I had never before seen a grown manâs eyes widen with such fear, incomprehension, disgust, awe, and understanding.
PROFILESSSSS
âJesusâ comes from a shortening of the Hebrew version of the name Joshua, while âChristâ simply means âthe anointed one.â To make this clearer to modern Christians, I propose a new Bible translation where Jesus is referred to only as âoily Joshâ

Terrible headcanons:
It is widely theorized on the internet that all of the Avengers have, one way or another, seen Hamilton.
Steve? Itâs a musical about American history. Clearly, he must have seen it; he was probably in disguise, sitting as one with the common people, and then surreptitiously meeting the cast afterward. Itâs just a matter of time before pics appear to prove it.
Tony? Not at all in disguise. In fact, he probably bought out a whole theatre for a private showing. Except â wouldnât they have heard about that? So he must have done like the president, and brought all the actors to him. A show in the penthouse of Avengers Tower â itâs going to be amazing when (if) they finally release the footage on youtube.
(Bruce, it should be noted, is not speculated about. Though if any of the internet really knew of his existence, theyâd assume that he was part of the general Tower audience.)
(It is assumed that the Hulk has not seen Hamilton; heâs probably heard his teammates singing pieces from it, though, and so thereâs a very particular, very focused corner of fandom looking for line references every time the Hulk verbalizes. Thereâs a website that lists the number of days theyâve been waiting. Gifsets have been prepared for the happy occasion.)
Now, Natasha â she clearly must have seen it. If youâre thinking like an ex-KGB Russian spy (which naturally fans are happy to attempt), Hamilton can probably be very loosely described as an American political thriller. That, and itâs popular. Natasha Romanoff probably attended as a rigged lottery-winner, blonde with bad makeup and a terrible tendency to mouth along with the words. This is what any number of fans would do if they were she, and therefore, itâs what must have been done.
People jump off of furniture during the course of the production. Having heard more than one tale of Clintâs dumpster adventures, this is considered reason enough for him to bum his way backstage as a nondescript techie.
The internet is full of ideas as to how their hometown superheroes saw the hottest ticket on Broadway.
Unfortunately, none of them are correct.
Except one.Â
People mostly think Linâs kidding when he does a series of tweets about it â that he was playing with his son in the park, and a large, blond man holding a suspicious-as-fuck hammer stopped wandering across the sunny green to flash a smile at Lin. A moment later the guyâd been at his side and kneeling next to Sebastianâs stroller. âHello, little one,â the man had said, keeping the hammer well away while smiling gently at Linâs son. âAnd will you be a skald, then, as your father before you?â His voice had been deep, and accented, and for all that it was soft, it had held the weight of distant thunder. Linâs kid hadnât seemed to notice anything particularly metaphorical going on, though. Heâd laughed; the big guy joined in.Â
A moment later the man had stood and gripped Linâs wrist in farewell. âWe shall speak again, poet,â heâd said, still smiling. And then heâd walked away, swinging the hammer by its lanyard.
(âŚPeople on the internet decide that the storyâs bullshit. All weather reports from that day say it was raining in the city. Nice try, Lin. Busted.)
You know. I bet Bruce heard about Hamilton first, by listening to NPR or something. He didnât expect to like it, but he couldnât stop playing it on repeat. From there it went to either Natasha or Pepper, who then spread it to the other one. From there it went through the entire tower.
Thor and Clint do a surprising good rendition of The Farmer Refuted.
They buy tickets to the show like normal people. They pretend that they canât see people trying to sneakily take pictures of them. Natasha casually ruins every shot of herself. They all love the show in general, and they each appreciate different portions more than others. They all cry during Itâs Quiet Uptown, knowing that grief and wanting that forgiveness.
They give a standing ovation.
They sign the wall backstage, and are effusive with their praise. Lin takes selfies with all of them, but doesnât post most of them on twitter. He does post the one he took with Tony and Steve, because they got to talking about the Puerto Rican debt crisis. There are mutual open ended invitations for whatever the other party wanted to do. Each group is in awe of the other.
They go home. They donât go again as a big group, but they all each manage to see it again at least one more time.
MY SISTER JUST GOT HIT ON BY THE CHEF AT THE RESTAURANT WEâRE AT VIA THE WAITRESS IâM DYING
THE WAITRESS GOT MY SISTERâS NUMBER FOR THE CHEF AND THEN PROCEEDED TO GUSH ABOUT HIM TO MY SISTER AND THEN A SECOND WAITRESS DID THE SAME AND THEN THE FIRST ONE TOLD US MY SISTER WASNâT ALLOWED TO ORDER DESSERT BECAUSE IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF AND THEN HE MADE HER A TASTING PLATE OF EVERY DESSERT ON THE MENU AND THEN HE CAME OUT AND HE WAS SO NERVOUS AND IT WAS REALLY SUPER SWEET.
