#what year did jessica go to live with trish? #somewhere in 96-99 #i’m thinking closer to 96 because of the dookie poster in her bedroom #anyway so let’s say in 96 jessica was 15 #that makes her 34 now #did these two ever live apart before kilgrave? did they actually live together for 18 years? #first with mama walker but i bet that only lasted a couple of years at best #did they go to college together? #did trish go to college? #DID JESSICA? #DID THEY LIVE AT COLLEGE TOGETHER? #or was it just trish? #and jessica slept on her dormroom floor? #(did they share trish’s bed sometimes?) #or did they share an apartment with trish’s trust funded royalties? #just the two of them at 17 living on their own? #and then it’s been 5 years? 10 years? #literally as long as trish has been away from her mother? and all that time jessica’s protected her #and before that too #protecting her from her mother #and then jessica was gone #and trish built a fortress around herself #and then she made herself a fortress #because she wants to protect jessica like jessica has protected her (via @ratherembarrassing)
a little something i thought of during breakfast: when hamilton introduces himself to angelica, he doesn’t follow the melody of the song and instead uses the one in “my shot”. “my name is angelica schuyler / alexander hamilton” he’s in his own pace and expects others to keep up. but then angelica keeps up and uses his melody in her next question–where’s your family from?–and that is basically the melodic equivalent of what angelica describes in the next verse as “matching wits with someone at your level”.
OK OK OK yes but what is really vitally important is that something similar but also REALLY DIFFERENT happens again in non-stop:
alexander/i have to go/alexander!/look around, look around/HELPLESS
in which alex uses the sisters’ thematic line for the first time (i think?), but, goddammit alex, he’s got the wrong one: he know he should be trying to speak her language, but he’s on the schuyler sisters and she’s on helpless, and they’re so close but still not quite together.
but then in take a break, we again get the glorious giggly “angelica!/ELIIIZA” and now alex fills in the end at the right place!! (the schuyler sistersss) and THEN.
angelica sings “alexanderrrr” in the line of the schuyler sisters. his name isn’t said in the my shot style (staccato, alex-ander-hamil-ton), but is instead a higher schulyer sisters ELIIIZA (alexaaaaander. [hi]). angelica brings him into the schuyler fold and forces him to keep up with her.
which is really really fortunate, because that’s exactly what alex needs to be able to reconcile with eliza in it’s quiet uptown: speaking her melodic language of “it would be enough” - for the first time, really, truly, connecting with her at a fundamental level in her language.
alex is a schuyler as much as eliza is a hamilton and angelica doesn’t have to change her language to match wits: literally the current thesis statement of my life.
