Hamliza - Tumblr Posts

(Modern AU.)

Hamilton: I know some of you see Threads as the successor to Twitter but I personally hope both apps burn to the ground

Eliza who just wants her husband to sleep with her: Alexander what the actual fuck-

It will burn🔥

reading i, eliza hamilton rn and it's undoubtedly historical fiction but at least it gave us a scene where eliza shouts "that dog!" about thomas jefferson. accepting it as historical truth now, thank you.

i love reading hamilton's letters to elizabeth when they were in their courtship because sometimes it goes like:

hahaha (laughs in cody ko frat bro) you're so hot babe...i bet you're only dating me because you feel bad for me or something...hahaha...unless 👀... betsey? do you really like me? betsey why aren't you writing back betsey-

this bitch was double-checking, triple-checking that eliza liked him. you know. as a man. right? yeah you said you're gonna marry me but it's unclear. i'm not rich btw :( will you hate me one day??

hamilton being needy in his letters to eliza

i tried to do a funny compilation of all the times he's needy in his courtship letters but holy shit it happens basically every two paragraphs so buckle up, it's long.

Exhibit A: Begging her to write more often

lmao "this is a threat. write more."

.

.

.

he's literally comparing the number of letters he sends, "three to one"

.

this is a trend, him going "why no letters?? text me back girl."

Exhibit B: Why he's writing so many letters

love the washington cameo as the cockblocker smh

.

double combo of "i saw a rival guy in my dreams :(" and "here's two more letters at once"

Exhibit C: Nooo I love you more. Vomit enducing.

my betsey. aw.

.

.

.

Exhibit D: Tell me the truth would you love me if i was a worm

"you know i'm broke right. tell me if you'll hate me for it."

not him spiraling imagining her saying "nope can't do it" the day before the wedding

hamilton, mister would you still love me if i was a worm

i forgot the most blatant example of hamilton being the "do you like me or like like me" boyfriend in my last post:

For god’s sake My Dear Betsey try to write me oftener and give me the picture of your heart in all its varieties of light and shade. Tell me whether it feels the same for me or did when we were together, or whether what seemed to be love was nothing more than a generous sympathy. The possibility of this frequently torments me.

this was their canon dynamic idc.

"are you going to pledge your life and allegiance to me because you're a people pleaser? tell me now betsey. "

also can i say that i love him excusing himself in the earlier lines:

If you knew my heart thoroughly you would see it so full of tenderness for you that you would not only pardon, but you would even love my weaknesses.

he's going "my heart is so weak because of you". pulling the "i'm just a girl" card.

something something about how hamilton seemed to spend less words on the things that hit him emotionally - the silence regarding his childhood/parentage (although his fear of public opinion probably played into that substantially), john laurens' death, philip's death. even on his own deathbed, the way he asked to see his children but when he saw them lined up, he couldn't say a word, and turned away.

there's something tragic there. a man like him being unable to find the words.

on a lighter note i was asked what i thought hamilton and elizabeth's proposal (?) went like. i can see him making a grand speech only to stay silent after she says yes, which is unheard of for him lmao. and after that horrible awkward pause, he finally goes ..."you mean it right?" and does the whole "do you like like me or is this whole courtship something you went through because you felt bad for me" dance. he needs words of affirmation, what can i say.

omfg not betsey pulling this shit at john church's wedding 😭 she'd do this every time they try to have a family outing, going "i'll stop it once john finishes the biography and not a moment before" asdfk

I just came across this beautiful wedding photo of the future king Edward VII and his wife. oh yeah, and of course his mother queen Victoria dressed in FULL MOURNING ROBES SITTING BETWEEN THE HAPPY(?) COUPLE AND GAZING WISTFULLY AT A BUST OF HER DEAD HUSBAND

anyway: imagine if Betsey Schuyler pulled something like this hrhdhshjsjs

is this hamliza or am i going crazy

after a lot of hemming and hawing i decided to give alex and eliza: a love story a chance. but holy shit. at first i thought it was taking a few historical liberties to give hamliza this enemies to lovers arc (which still doesn't make sense) but then it escalated into utter mayhem. i am confused at what beef this author had with henry livingston.

alex & eliza strikes again: revolutionary use of freeze frame epilogue narration

spoiler warning for alex & eliza love & war, if there's anyone who cares enough about that book to need it lmao.

i fucking love the second book in the alex & eliza trilogy because right at the end of part 1 (didn't even realize there were parts until i was told it was the end of part 1) it has a whole-ass epilogue montage like those corny sitcoms that freeze frame and go: "johnny would go on to become the world's greatest ice-cream test taster".

one moment we're going through what is supposedly a historically accurate story where after the battle of yorktown, aaron burr tells betsey that alexander is alive by delivering a letter where her husband, the quintessential 18th century man, writes:

"pack your bags, my dearest! we are moving to the city! - A."

and the next, we're suddenly in italics for around 20 pages of a textbook recounting of the next few years - the author throws away all the historically accurate emotional moments like laurens' death. absolutely incredible.

also: there's no philip? we have a mrs. schuyler birthing scene but there is no mention of the hamilton couple's first child. i'm so confused. where on earth is philip hamilton, and can we put up a missing child poster for him?

so here's a little taste of what the epilogue section reads like:

“Chief among these visionaries was Alexander Hamilton, whose accomplishments during the Revolutionary War would soon be overshadowed by the work he did for the budding republic. ”

oh i'm sorry 5th grade social studies textbook. this isn't foreshadowing, this is straight up telling the reader what's going to happen next lmao.

hamliza but little women au where alexander is the rich boy who gets to live recklessly, angelica is his best friend, and eliza is the sister he actually loves and ends up with WHO SAID THAT-

omg i haven’t thought about the alex and eliza books for years. they truly were something. my mother bought them for me a couple of years ago bc she thought i would like them (bless her. she tried and that’s all that matters. i greatly appreciated it.) and they were signed copies 😭😭

aww that's so cute that your mom went out of her way to gift you those books 😭 but SIGNED??

but yeah out of all the strange hamilton novels i've ventured to read, alex & eliza is. just.

at a certain point the author went "i don't like eliza's historical characteristics so i'm going to give her the power of 21st century foresight and change everything about her!"

i just finished the entire alex & eliza trilogy and you know what? this is what writing is about. making your reader feel things. i definitely feel a lot of things. i think i've found historical nirvana. accuracy is overrated. we can have fun! we can add a little spice.

Sometimes wife need reassurance.

unfortunately believe that in a modern au eliza would absolutely listen to him and i and go "this is soooo me and alex." they'd do the cringey couple posts with that song in the background for sure.

honestly fair. the way she defended ham's reputation decades after his death, made his personal enemies her personal enemies james monroe? eliza was definitely ride or die. she's like abigail adams except abigail adams hears the song and thinks it's garbage even if she secretly goes "me and john fr fr".

i love that eliza really didn't like talleyrand and said that although ham admired his talents, he also "detested" talleyrand's lack of principles.

personally, i do think that ham liked talleyrand. obviously talleyrand had a big fat crush on him, but since ham was planning on sending philip to france (we all know that he didn't play with his family) - i'm assuming that he was at least amused and fond of him, even if he did have quibbles with his principles.

so betsey saying that ham, like her, wasn't a fan of talleyrand gives me the impression that whenever she expressed her disapproval, he would just go "of course of course, absolutely. the lack of morals! you are right as always" and let her commence her hating in peace. i dunno, it's such a mundane detail that makes them feel real. like yes, hamilton was a ** founding father ** but he was also a guy who got along well with a person his wife disliked, and wisely shut his mouth. my dad does the same thing. just longterm, middle age couple things, you know? ugh.

new york man screams over his future wife and promptly forgets very important passcode
