falsettos spoiler
most people generally agree that marvin also dies from aids after the course of the musical, but something i’ve never heard anyone mention is the fact that with marvin and whizzer gone trina, mendel, and jason are now the most average nuclear “tight knit family” possible, something that they would’ve dreamed of having previously but now is like a curse in the absence of what made their group actually unique and loving

It makes me SOOOO angry when people draw Marvin (especially revival Marvin) as some skinny or buff hairless pre-teen or just not the chubby body type he actually has. He’s a full grown man with body hair, he also has a lot of internalised homophobia and misogyny, he wouldn’t be shaving or grooming himself at all. He’s also definitely got more chub in act 2 than act 1 (I am an avid lover of gaining weight to symbolise happiness btw) but he definitely has it in act 1 too. He also has wrinkles, aging imperfections and he’s probably got chubby features/‘imperfections’ (e.x. Hip dips, stretch marks, rolls, rough patches of skin where its been stretched/pushed together). I do also hate when people draw Whizzer skinny when he, in fact, is muscled/toned and well groomed but he also is a young/middle aged adult, who is confirmed to have body/leg hair. Bottom line is, Marvin AND Whizzer aren’t little twinks, Whizzer is a muscley jock and Marvin is a grown ass middle aged man!

The Chess Game (March of The Falsettos)
vs.
Another Chess Game (Falsettoland Workshop)
The reversal of who says the lines "nothing is everything to me" & "winning is everything to me" gets me everytime.
