Under the Ruins of a Walled City | Chapter 14
Under house arrest while Rey and Leia try to decide what to do with him, Ren makes secret preparations for the final destruction of Snoke and writes letters to Hux that receive no response. In prison awaiting sentencing for his war crimes, Hux tries to summon some enthusiasm for his defense against the cries of billions who want him executed.

I don’t know what to say about this chapter so here’s a story that keeps coming to mind: when I was a senior in undergrad there was a day when we only had to come to class to physically turn in a really difficult final paper, and my favorite person in my program was this guy named Jeffrey who had gone to high school with my husband, and he happened to be standing in front of me when he turned in his paper. After handing it to our professor, he turned around and gave me this weirdly exuberant smile and said, “I just feel like crying, I don’t know why!”

and that’s how I feel about this chapter GOODNIGHT and good luck

Judith Butler and J Halberstam are exploring Second-Life together

Judith Butler: My character has one angel wing, and one devil wing, and heterochromatic eyes.
Judith Butler: This is because it express the fundamental contradictions of an articulated queer identity.
Judith Butler: To be positioned as progressive ascension and moral degeneracy depending on what spaces a body moves through.
Judith Butler: While also remaining both perpetually defined and undefinable.
Judith Butler: The queer body, much like my fallen angel avatar, is one that is constantly at odds with it's own assigned values.
J Halberstam: how do I make my taurs muscles bigger

TUMBLRICO!

I made this for you today. It’s the scene in Hamilton that goes between “Dear Theodosia” and “Non Stop.” I made a decision not to record this scene on the album, for two reasons 1) It really is more of a scene than a song, the only SCENE in our show, and I think its impact is at its fullest in production form. 2) As someone who grew up ONLY listening to cast albums (we ain’t have money for a lot of Broadway shows, like most people) those withheld moments were REVELATIONS to me when I finally experienced them onstage, years later. Hamilton is sung through, and I wanted to have at least ONE revelation in store for you. I stand by the decision, and I think the album is better for it.

I know, I know. “But what about people who won’t get the chance to see it…” I know. “And Laurens is already so underrepresented in history…” I KNOW. THAT’S WHY HE’S SO PROMINENT IN THE SHOW. So here’s where we meet in the middle. The missing scene is above.  Please understand that the reason I left this scene off the album is precisely BECAUSE I value it (and Laurens) so much. Happy #Hamiltunes listening, Tumblrico. This is your extra credit reading. Yr Obd Serv, Lin-Manuel
