This week, we listen to the only Broadway musical Kevin the Dad has in his CD collection, 1776 much to Juliet the Daughter's delight! Topics include cast recording vs soundtrack, seeing the show at Ocean State Theatre, Ed Truck on the Office, the fountain from Friends, Northern Exposure, Nixon's friendship with Jack Warner, Hamilton, why certain songs have aged well and are still important, and Juliet the Daughter spends the last few minutes of the video on her theatre soapbox
COURIER:
Momma, hey momma,
Come lookin’ for me.
I’m here in the meadow
By the red maple tree.
Momma, hey momma,
Look sharp, here I be.
Hey, hey,
Momma, look sharp.
Them soldiers, they fired;
Oh ma, did we run!
But then we turned ‘round
And the battle begun.
Then I went under.
Oh, ma, am I done?
Hey, hey,
Momma, look sharp.
My eyes are wide open;
My face to the sky.
Is that you I’m hearin’
In the tall grass nearby?
Momma, come find me
Before I do die!
Hey, hey,
Momma, look sharp.
COURIER, MCNAIR, WORKMAN:
I’ll close your eyes, my Billy;
Them eyes that cannot see.
And I’ll bury ya, my Billy,
Beneath the maple tree.
COURIER:
And never again
Will you whisper to me,
“Hey, hey,
Momma, look sharp.”
Finally after 4 months i can say that this is DONE.
When i first listened to Momma Look Sharp from 1776 I knew I had to do something with this and John Laurens! Im so incredibly proud of this and hope yall like it and stuff!
Warning for blood and character death and all that
❄️🌤️🌪️?
And 🌈 or 🌩️ just to see if you have any lol
Thanks for the ask! I decided to challenge myself to not use the same WIP twice!
❄️Share a snippet from a WIP of your choosing.
From Gloria Chapter 5. As I've said on various posts across the blog, it is a hefty chapter with a lot of plot twists and I need to do some overhauls.
The red-armored trooper stepped forward and took off his helmet. He had few distinguishing features, but his voice sounded incredibly close to Prime’s. “I’ve been told you’re the ones who’ll lead the army, and I’m here to assess you. We’re gonna start by testing your aim.”
As they headed towards the range, Gree whispered to Cody, “That’s A-77, Fordo. The regs say he’s got the highest scores.”
“Out of the Alpha Batch?”
“Out of everyone.”
🌤️Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP.
Here's an exchange from Snipe Hunt Chapter 2 (the Infinity Train-TBB Crossover) that I'm really proud of. Crosshair is in a "Tooka Cafe Car," which is like Starbucks but everyone is a cat. Here, we meet Crosshair's Denizen Companion, a black cat named Yu who can match his, err, temperament.
“Thank you, Mr. Hair.”
“That’s not my name.”
“Oh really,” she said, narrowing her eyes. “‘Says it right there on your name tag.”
He looked down at his name tag to find that she was right, in a sense. It read ‘Cross Hair.’ So of course she’d made that mistake. Only Wrecker got to call him Hair and the joke had gotten so stale that he rarely did it anymore.
🌪️Sum up a WIP with a few fic tropes/Ao3 tags.
I chose a WIP that hasn't been published yet, General Krell, Sir. I won't tell you much but you can expect Crack, Everything is Beautiful and Nothing Hurts, Umbara Arc, Original Jedi Characters, Clone Centric, AU Canon Divergence.
🌈 Share something soft/fluffy from your WIP.
Momma Look Sharp, chapter 2. Not much written yet. Shmi escapes the Tuskens and Anakin rescues her. She's injured and suffering from heatstroke, but she survives.
The hum of a speederbike. A young man in dark robes, with dirty blonde hair and a strange weapon clipped to his belt.
“Mom?” he said, bringing the speederbike to a stop and running over. “Mom, what happened!”
“Ani…” she said, struggling to lift her head.
🌩️ Share something funny/cracky from your WIP.
In IGC 14, Rex goes to 79's for the first time, not knowing that it's 'commander night.' He witnesses a trooper not from his battalion put on a Guy Fieri wig and do a comedy impression of him. Another trooper in the lineup drew Cody's scar on his face with a marker.

here’s a 1776 Opinion: the courier is real cute
A GOOD BOY!
A SWEET BOY!
A BOY YOU COULD BRING TO YOUR GREAT GAMMY BERTHA!
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
Because that’s what liberty costs. Tyrants are never in short supply in this world of ours and this is a pledge that must be renewed wherever freedom is treasured. Much blood has been spilled to give you the freedom you take for granted. And others would happily lay their lives down to have a fraction of what you have. See it as the blessing it is...because without it, you have nothing.
