The urge to romanticize war in the script because we ARE writing a love story but also the urge to do research and find horrible ways people died to include because war is hell and it's important to show that AND ALSO the shit we could do with exploring John's PTSD while he's a POW would be FASCINATING hfjbhddgfdgfg

WE 👏 MUST 👏 INCLUDE 👏 THE 👏 ENSLIN 👏 CASE 👏

#It is so convenient for the story snd character arc and I'm so disappointed with how little it's brought up in fanficd #*fanfics #asks #tracyn 🎤 #my husband <3 #amrev show

yes we can have historical accuracy or we can have the scene in george washington (1984) where washington shakes his soldiers' hands and embraces them- but gets to hamilton and ignores the offered hand to pull him into a tight hug with tears in his eyes.

so i don't know what you want from me.

btw the curly haired dude before hamilton is tench tilghman. my aides de camp.

I love TURN obviously but reading about the actual spy ring is also endlessly entertaining. Everyone who describes Abraham Woodhull puts so much emphasis on him being sickly and small. Like he was THREE SAUCE PACKETS TALL and SEE THROUGH like a LINEN CURTAIN and nobody suspected him of spying because he was a LITTLE FIELD MOUSE. Let him get up bro he’s not even here to defend himself.

#If they didn’t have so many unnecessary shirtless scenes showing Jamie Bell to be ripped they’d have perfectly cast him #turn washington's spies #turn amc #amc turn #abraham woodhull #amrev

Those moments when I get so bored I fantasize about what my Hamilton historical fiction series, The American Icarus, would look like adapted to TV and I find myself writing episode titles for the first season 😂😂😂

Anyway, here they are, covering the events of Volume I:

Bastard Son

A Most Humiliating Circumstance

Hurricane

Take Up My Pen

Hearts of Oak

Master of Artillery

Victory or Death

Aide-De-Camp

Achilles

Northward Storms

Forged In Snow

Cowardly Glory

If anyone wants, throw an episode title in my inbox and I’ll tell you what part of TAI: Vol I it’d be covering! Or anything else you’d want to know.

I can dream I guess.

An interesting article about the global scope of the American Revolution. Of course we know that various European imperialist powers were caught up in it, so it's not too surprising that it reached the coast of India with the 1783 Battle of Cuddalore.

The spiciest take, however, is claiming Yorktown as a victory for the French:

“Kids learn that Yorktown was an American victory. In reality, it was a French victory, made possible by a French strategy, two French fleets, French siege engineers, French artillery that pounded the British, was fought largely by French soldiers, marines, and sailors who outnumbered their American rebel allies four-to-one,” Glickstein argues.

The National Park Service says about 600 French troops were killed at Yorktown and an associated naval battle. It says just over 100 Americans were killed at Yorktown.

RO I have three scenes for the first episode planned out wanna see the the very first draft? :] Also some questions

How do you want to do the script writing? What would work best for you? Splitting it up somehow, one of us doing most of the heavy research and the other writing most of it, writing our own separate drafts and comparing them and see what works, both of us writing bits and running them by the other. For me, the last one would work best, but honestly they'd all work :D

Also, how should the characters be written? Obviously as historically accurate as possible, but specifically for the more side characters that don't have a lot of info on them. Like John White, for example.

Sure, absolutely!

I like the last option best, of us writing separate ideas and then comparing them. We can probably mix up what each of us had in mind, or choose whoever had the better idea. And we can have a equal okay into writing and researching also with that way.

I'm pretty good at characterization, or at least rounding a character personality if I can do some research or know their actions. Then I can make some decent assumptions as to how their personality was, or how they would react to things. I'm not sure if the way I'm explaining makes any real sense or not, but say for example one of the Hamkids, we don't know them entirely well at all, let alone how they were as people. So I usually research what they did and then draw an assumption from that as to how their character or mannerisms would be.

this miniature portrait of hamilton, apparently done on january 11 1773 (16th birthday present, if we're going by 1757, perhaps? from who?) makes me laugh because he looks so young. in just 2-3 years he would join the new york militia, and then fight in the continental army and meet george washington. you know that anecdote about how a soldier saw hamilton's company and went "wtf is this skinny kid doing here" only to learn that he was the captain? that makes a lot more sense now.

he came to america in 1772, so this means he would've looked even younger when he was actually on st. croix, bossing everyone around at cruger's firm. can you imagine being a sea captain or business associate and getting reprimanded by an even smaller version of this dork? jesus christ it must have been a nightmare to work with him.

#look at that haircut #he got the short bang ponytail combo #i want to know if hamilton kept this miniature himself #because if so i can imagine elizabeth teasing him about it #their version of looking at highschool yearbooks actually #since betsey showed him her drawings #alexander hamilton #historical hamilton #amrev

Apparently there’s a biopic in the works about Napoleon’s American sister-in-law, Betsy Patterson Bonaparte.

She was the first wife of Jerome Bonaparte. I’m really curious about this. There’s definitely some drama in Betsy’s story during her time as Jerome’s wife. If they end up making this, I’m sure Napoleon will be in it! (Btw, Betsy and Jerome’s descendants end up becoming very important American figures. One of them was the creator of the FBI)

This is Betsy (left) and Jerome (right):

turn hot takes part 2: nsfw edition LOLLL (i apologize in advance)

- that one time that simcoe slept with a prostitute was his first time actually doing the deed. generally he just gets off by murdering ppl

- @honorhearted is so right - ben likes to be in control in the bedroom ;) he just has a lot of pent-up stress to release haha

- i can’t be convinced that john andre is super dominant - he is a service top at most. his flute-music-as-foreplay is terrible, but he knows that the female orgasm exists, so it balances out lol

- abe habitually starts thinking about spy plans in the middle of sex and then gets turned on by it. also he definitely got topped by both anna and mary

- caleb tells everyone that his body count is 3x what it actually is. he’s fun in bed though (and would probably be down to do something crazy like semi public sex)

- benedict arnold doesn’t know what foreplay is and falls asleep 3 seconds after finishing. the worst person to sleep with in the whole show, rip peggy

- i feel like hewlett, surprisingly, is lowkey a sex god (only for anna though ;))

please feel free to add on if you have more thoughts HAHAHAHA

What's Achilles for the episode titles

Thanks for the ask! I had a feeling this one would be asked first haha.

Episode 9 of this hypothetical season would cover from August through October of 1777. The episode would center around John Laurens’ introduction into the plot and begin the subplot of he and Alexander’s relationship which would continue to develop through the rest of the season. This episode would feature among other things the battles of Brandywine and Germantown (both of which Laurens and Hamilton participated in—Laurens notably receiving an ankle injury in the former battle, and famously received another injury to the shoulder while trying to burn down the entrance to a house the British had holed themselves up in to attack from during the latter), that time Hamilton was pronounced dead in the Schuylkill River while on a mission to destroy supplies, and the fall of Philadelphia (the home of the Continental Congress) to the British. Chronologically, the episode would conclude with the aftermath of the Battle of Germantown (October 4th). What this aftermath looks like, I can’t say, as I haven’t gotten around to writing that section of TAI: Volume I yet, but I’m excited to get to writing those chapters. And I’d love to see them on screen someday.
