I genuinely feel this is something M’Baku would be aware of and concerned about. He’s just that dude. Pranks, but not the triggering kind, keep it cool.
I was talking to my sister about it last night in the car and I’ve concluded that the best movie adaptation of Hamilton would be randomly anachronistic for seemingly no reason. Like, the characters all dress like it’s the late 19th century but the props and setting change wildly.
It’s Quiet Uptown takes place in The Grange surrounded by historical estates and brownstones, but the entirety of The Schyler Sisters takes place in like, modern Times Square
The start of the Aaron Burr, Sir sequence starts in a dark period appropriate tavern and then Laurens kicks the door open carrying an actual six pack of Samuel Adams
Both the one v one Hamilton & Washington scenes are set in the oval office (despite the White House not actually existing yet) but the cabinet battles are set in… whatever building they were using to house the government in Philadelphia and NYC at that point
Hamilton’s line about “We have resorted to eating our horses” is angrily shouted into a corded desk phone that he slams to hang up
Phillip Hamilton interrupts an actual play in a period theatre but the ushers that show him out at the end all have flashlights
Farmer Refuted takes place in Central Park and the accompaniment is from street musicians, including the harpsichord
The hard cut to King George’s declaration has him with in the set they use for the Queen’s Christmas Speech, except instead of a photograph on the desk there’s a big portrait of Queen Victoria behind him
Cabinet battles have a stenographer using a type writer
Basically, anything that could be quickly googled to provide a date is allowed to be anachronistic, and everything else has to be period accurate. Add your own!
Okay so here is the purple option I developed, though an anon (who for some reason Tumblr did not let me answer their message?) was worried it might look a little too much like the nb flag?
Silver was the other option but when I put it together it honestly just looked like a lot a gray which I didn’t like very much but…well, let me know.
Polish has two versions of “to get married” depending on whether you are marrying a man (wyjść za mąż) or a woman (ożenić się)
they are of course “meant” to be used by women and men respectively, and when someone mixes them up – which happens very often in common speech – it’s usually a matter of seconds before some smartass goes “haha, ożenić się, she’s a girl, what is she, a homo, you meant wyjść za mąż!”
same thing happened at the shop today, one local drunkard wanted to wish me all the best and that I marry well – and he said “ożenić się”
the second drunkard obviously started laughing “what, a woman! you meant-”
“and who are you to tell her what she can or cannot do, Heniek? She’ll want to marry a girl she’ll marry a girl!”
I have an urge to give him a beer on the house next time he’s here.

Here’s my piece inspired by Princess Leia for Gallery 1988’s Star Wars: Art Awakens gallery show and charity auction, a collaboration between Gallery 1988, Disney, LucasFilm, and Bad Robot. Pieces in the show will be auctioned off for charity on eBay on Friday, November 13th. If you’re in Los Angeles, you can see the artwork in person on Saturday and Sunday (November 14th and 15th) from 11am–10pm at Gallery 1988 (West). Find out more info here and support a good cause!
Almost everything in this piece is a reference from the original Star Wars trilogy: the symbols of the Rebel Alliance and the Empire, band patches for Max Rebo Band and the Mos Eisley Cantina band, “Rebel scum,” tattoos of Alderaan and Leia’s blaster, modified X-wing pilot gloves, the vest Leia wore on Hoth, her pants from Endor, the chain she used to strangle Jabba, and of course her hair from A New Hope. If you couldn’t tell, I had a lot of fun with this!
