Burn from Hamilton (or better yet-- First Burn) as a Ruevvy song

[start i.d.: a drawing of wuvvy from acofaf at the masquerade ball in a white suit. she leans back against a balcony railing, holding a glass of champagne, looking dead-eyed forward as fireworks go off behind her. end i.d.]

btw CAN you imagine overhearing the person you've been in love with for over a decade clutch someone else's hands and declare, teary eyed, that they love them completely and utterly and they're the only person they can trust and who has ever seen their true self. and that finally they're not alone. while YOU stand in the corner wondering if you hallucinated the fact that YOU were the only person in the world who they trusted with their true form until an hour ago. or that you left your own court and gave up your nobility and championship to toil thanklessly as their assistant out of sheer adoration for them. and then a decade later hearing THAT and realising that none of it had mattered to them at all. personally I'd kill myself. wuvvy you are so strong for not doing worse than burning a letter

Idk if this is what's being implied in your hanahaki art but I always read it with the idea of wuvvy and rue both coughing up flowers and. Hob not at all. And by god it fucks me up in the best way. Esp w/ the alt v of hanahaki where it's like chronic illness. Ough

YES YES you get it. I envisioned it as wuvvy > rue > hob when I was drawing it, with hob too caught up in his own self loathing and court conflict to be worrying about unrequited love. (I don't know if it's anyone else but I don't see hob having... any sort of dramatics about love as a concept at all... if he was in unrequited love he wouldn't start starry eyed pining he'd just be like Ok. moving on)

that parallel of hanahaki disease + chronic illness as a metaphor is SO interesting to me actually. there's this one poem I read a while back about chronic illness and love and the reclaiming in that (I believe it was titled sick4sick? I'll update if I can find it). and now I'm thinking about rue and wuvvy and the flowers they cough up woven so carefully by wuvvy into their feathers and her hair and worn on their gowns like an admission and a challenge both. there is no shame in something that you refuse to be shamed by and instead armour yourself with

ruewuvvy is real to me but like. in the way where I l think hob would genuinely be better for wuvvy at this point than rue. when I say I ship ruewuvvy I mean I am affirming her heartache and ruewuvvy's former potential. I don't think ruewuvvy should get together after everything that happened 💔
