I love this interview, but this is definitely a moment that gets stuck in my head,

yeah like why try and tear apart a probably fine friendship with sheer force of will c'mon everybody

the “rannells borle beef” thing really annoys me. like yeah it is kinda fun that christian is replacing rannells but there’s nothing more to this than that

so, let's talk about the chess game a little more thoroughly

in the chess game (from falsettos, idk if that's apparently clear, "a chess game" could literally be anything lol) there's a pattern of impatience that follows the two main characters.

Marvin's impatience is fully one-sided, you can see as Whizzer begins the game, he's insistent for him to get his turn over with, even going so far as to (quite condescendingly) ask if Whizzer wants his help. But then the moment it's his turn, he takes his time despite Whizzer having rushed his first move.

I think this might stem from his constant need to "help", or rather, control every situation. He thinks it's always his job to be the leader of every circumstance, as the stereotypical man.

It definitely comes from a childhood of commanding others around and not having a heavy amount of discipline for his actions.

Otherwise, Marvin taking time to calculate his move shows that he's careful with his own placement in life. A life of tiptoing around himself and never actually accepting the full extent of his personality, or sexuality has made him incredibly courteous of where he stands. Maybe it even came from his relationship with Trina, how not being careful led him to being forced into an arranged marriage.

Meanwhile, (and I know I've gone through this bit before in other posts but yes, thanks, I need more appreciation on William Finn not just victimizing Whizzer. Like, he's not that great either guys. We love him, but he isn't perfect.) Whizzer uses the game as a strategy to get Marvin on his side.

Although instead of healthily sorting through his MASS amount of issues, Whizzer pretty much just ends up manipulating him into throwing the game. It's interesting because Whizzer has an opportunity to discuss all of the problems they have with Marvin.

They're in a place in their relationship where he can clearly just throw anything out there, but then he strikes back with anger instead of trying to actually figure out the main issues and help them both through it, effectively shutting off Marvin's ability to actually listen to anything he has to say.

The chess game was actually staged so perfectly, because you can clearly see all of the toxicity in one contained place during that song. There's obviously snippets in others, Marvin's inability to change and Whizzer's insistence not to change because changing would mean they would have to actually talk about their feelings toward each other.

anyways, these are just my thoughts on this :) none of its fully canon, I was just watching through clips of the proshot and realized some interesting things

I used to say “I don’t know” a lot to questions that my mom would ask me, but I somewhat got outta the habit cuz my mom would, like, yell at me???

and i do have adhd so..

i still say that sometimes and when i do i still get yelled at haha

coupled with a major amount of anxiety i genuinely do not think thats mixing well

so 

uhh

not good??

fuck

‪GOD I found another article about why ADHD kids say “I don’t know” so much. my entire childhood was getting yelled at for doing some ADHD shit and me not being able to offer an explanation when asked why I did something. ‬

on this very same train of thought, might I introduce you to:

Mendel/Marvin Monday

and

Trina Tuesday

thank you

happy whizzer wedensday,,, whizz,,er ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whizzer i love.yuo,

interesting question. usually by timeline analysis, I just assume Whizzer is around thirty-four/thirty-two, and Marvin is something like thirty-six.

I don't know if it's canon but if Marvin and Trina married in their twenties, which seems the most likely for her/and his parents to force them, and then were married for ten years, it makes the most sense in my mind that he and she'd be like mid-thirties and then Whizzer kind of falls into that age range too.

also I think Christian Borle was fourty-two when he played Marvin in the revival, and Andrew Rannells was something like thirty-eight, if that helps at all (but I don't think they were chosen for age, and I've yet to look up Michael Rupert and Stephen Bogardus' age when they played the characters, so take this as you will).

does anyone on here know the canon ages for marvin and whizzer ?? ive tried to figure it out in my head but i wanna hear what yall think
