“no one else was in the room where it happened...”

in we know, the whole thing is Alexander explaining how he didn't commit embezzlement/speculation (forgive my lack of knowledge regarding economics lmao) by revealing that he had an affair

so is it a coincidence that Burr provides an explicit callback to rwih?

no. no it is not.

(the line that i'm referring to is this btw)

Cabinet Battle #3

(Note: this analysis applies only to the MUSICAL. historical inaccuracies WILL be present.)

cabinet battle 3, if you don’t know, is a cut cabinet battle, later released on the hamilton mixtape. it is about slavery and whether or not to ban it. that is not what i will be addressing

what i WILL be talking about is a specific line.

in hamilton’s verse, he mentions that jefferson had an illicit relationship with one of his slaves, a woman named sally hemings.

later, madison and jefferson say “and as for slandering jefferson with talk of mistresses, do you really wanna, do you really wanna have that conversation?”

this is assumed to be a reference to hamilton’s affair with maria reynolds.

HOWEVER.

washington is chairing the debate.

so this song is set BEFORE “one last time”

LMM has said that it was intended to be right before “we know”

so the thing is, madison & jefferson DON’T YET KNOW about hamilton having an affair with maria reynolds

so what if hamilton was having an affair with JEFFERSON

that would explain it

wouldn’t it

idk, those are just my thoughts lol, feel free to ignore

“I get no satisfaction...”

quick meta:

the line in washington on your side

“i get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion”

who else has talked about not being satisfied?

angelica - who hamilton had an affair with

idk, just a funny coincidence

(oh, and the innuendo in this line? fucking perfection tbh)

Magenta Lighting vs. Magenta Costume

i reckon most of us in the fandom have seen this picture before, right?

well, i got to thinking about how that works out with jamilton

i’m not 100% sure if jefferson appears in pink lighting at any point in the musical (i’m going to check next time i watch it tho)

but then i realised.

he is CONSTANTLY in pink lighting

bc he fucking IS the pink lighting

was this a conscious choice??

to make the Love Interest Lighting magenta and then ALSO make 1 character’s Signature Colour magenta??

feels like a major coincidence if you ask me

"As long as he can hold a pen, he’s a threat”

in the adams administration, where jefferson says “as long as he can hold a pen, he’s a threat”

but he really isn’t

he’s gone completely insane

he doesn’t have any power

so what could he POSSIBLY do with a pen that makes jefferson so afraid

let’s have a think

what do both jefferson and hamilton canonically know, which no one else does?

what happened in the room where it happens

(i am GOING to write a meta about my thoughts on that, as soon as i can get them organized)

but long story short i think it was an affair

no comment on the historical accuracy of that

so if that’s true

obviously jefferson would be pretty fucking terrified of hamilton revealing that

so that’s why i think he still thinks hamilton is a threat

because he could reveal their affair
