I had a dream that Danny Devito was in In Trousers. like not playing an existing character; the cast was Marvin, Sweetheart, Goldberg, Trina and Danny Devito. he had no role in the story he was just there and honestly I'd pay to see that production

"whizzer and marvin act like friends in the original" ok

Watching an interview with Bill Finn and this man was so fucking funny.

"Especially when I was writing Marvin, I would think, Make him worse, make him worse.. What can I do to make him worse? "

Now seems like a good time to do this

First of all, William Finn, that legend is missed

But I wanted to introduce y'all to my

Falsettos binder

An entirely hand written book of all the (dialogue? Lyrics?) of the entire musical.

Based on the revival 'cause that one's my favorite.

We got: in depth analysis of every bit of significance in nearly every line. Dumb thoughts of mine. And memes.

[I'm not exaggerating when I said I went through eight packs of sticky notes]

The point

A probably incorrect timeline based on a few dates and hella real world assumptions

Pencil/colored pencil drawings featuring every character's musical assigned colors and me-assigned chess pieces

Depressing watercolor paintings

A cobbled together study on the chess pieces used in "the chess game" cause they look so strange and are never used again

An extensive study on the cube which I used to build the whole thing functionally in the real world

What I call ✨ notes on a scene✨

Which is commentary and observations of every bootleg production I've seen.

There's also an In Trouser analysis in here somewhere, but alas, I have reached the image limit.

Perhaps you can tell I'm just slightly feral for this musical and had a bit too much free time a couple months back.

every thing bill has written changed my life, I am who I am today because of him. I obviously didn't know him personally, but he was a huge part of my self-discovery. may his memory be a blessing.

Genuinely so distraught over William Finn’s passing. What a fucking legend, man. Falsettos has changed me in ways I cannot describe, and it means so so much to me as a queer jewish individual. Rest easy, Bill.
