The war was over and done with, but that didn’t mean life was. Benjamin was then, heavily involved with managing new investments in New York. Paperwork wasn’t anything new to him, but without the pressures from Washington and the British army urging him on, he found things to be extremely dull.
He carried a stack of books and letters, one of which he was reading through as he strolled through the streets. Suddenly, a small body slammed into his legs and with the shock, the letters escaped his fingers and flurried to the ground. After realizing the child and vexed mother, he chuckled and began to gather his things, thankful for the lack of wind.
“Oh! Please. Save your strength.” He couldn’t imagine what this woman had on her plate, and in her obviously pregnant state he didn’t want to trouble her. The man gathered the rest of his belonging and stood, offering a polite smile.
“Your son is quite alright, miss.” He stood and straightened himself out. “I might. I am Benjamin Tallmadge. Who is your husband?”
she felt AWFUL for what philip did, and she just sighed, swallowing gently. ❛ no seriously, it’s my fault, i should have been watching him but he kept running away because he saw a DOG. ❜ she shook her head, and smiled gently when he finally gathered everything. at the sound of his name, she finally got a face to a name. alexander had mentioned him in a letter, but, she had NEVER met him. ❛ oh! my husband is alexander hamilton, i’m elizabeth hamilton, but everyone just calls me eliza–– or BETSEY. ❜
she now KNEW that she had to make it up to him, some how, some way. she was just like that as a person, and it was in her NATURE to want to do these things. ❛ if you aren’t too busy tonight, you should come over for dinner. my husband has mentioned you in a few letters before, i find it PLEASING to put a name to a face. ❜ she fixed a strand of dark hair, and smiled down at philip, straightening his curly locks. they reminded her of angelica and peggy’s, eliza was never BLESSED with that. ❛ i’m sure you have a wife waiting for you back home though. ❜

i am selective with who i rp with, and i'm really sorry if i don't follow you back. it does not mean that i don't like your blog, and you are amazing, i already know that. i either don't see our writing meshes well together, or i just don't see our characters interacting. i do have exclusives, and i do have mains. i however, refuse to have exclusives for alexander, as there are too many that i rp with. here are a few mains and exclusives:
i do make some ooc post on the daily, more than i do reply to starters. lately i have a lot on my mind, and i like to speak, and then try to debate on whether or not i post it, because i think i'm funny. i am a slow repiler, so please just bare with me.
please, please, do not be afraid to do ships with me. i love ships, and i love everything about that. but, i will do things with chemistry, and please understand that i don't really like doing planned ships.
about graphics, all were either made by me or for me. my theme background was made by @patriotread and my icons were made by my friends. the only icons i make are the ones that are used for modern or teen eliza. please do not steal any of these, but i doubt you will, all of my musical icons have my url on them.
there are a lot of basic rules that i feel like people should know, and if you have any other questions, please message me. i am not a scary person, i scare myself sometimes but i try not to scare other people. i have no hidden messages or anything like that, so please do not be afraid to rp with me.
verses
BEFORE THE WAR.
BEFORE DEATH.
AFTERMATH.
MODERN/AU.
SCHUYLER SISTERS.
this will take place before eliza has ever even met alexander. she is just bff's with her wonderful sisters, and nothing will stop her from being happy with them.
HELPLESS.
this is when she is writing to alexander/before they have their first born. this will be used also while alexander is off at war, and before she tells him that she is pregnant.
THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH.
in this verse, she is pregnant with philip, and it is everything after that and before the reynolds pamphlet. alexander can be cheating during this time, but eliza, obviously, has no idea about it. they also have more kids throughout this time, so it'll mainly be when everyone is little and happy.
BURN.
obviously, this is reynolds time, and it's not a happy time. this is the verse where eliza does get heartbroken, and where she is having the most difficult time forgiving her husband. she loves him dearly, but she is also trying to decide whether or not she can go on. before she could, however, philip dies in her arms, and they move uptown.
MATTER OF TIME.
this is after alexander's death, and eliza has lost almost everyone in her life. she goes on to open an orphange, she interviews so many people that worked with alexander; she does it all to carry on his legacy. it starts with hamilton, and ends with hamilton.
TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW.
this is the baby teen verse omg yes. it will mainly be in modern times, and the face-claim for this will be arden cho. i felt as if she fit best for this, and if that makes you angry or something, please come and tell me, but girlie i couldn't find a better fc so if you have one.
HALF DRESSED A MESS.
this will be the college verse that i do have planned. i haven't been able to use this as much as i would like, but i have stuff in mind. eliza is studying to be a nurse, and she is also engaged to alexander, since i still think they would have gotten married at a young age either way.
SUMMER IN THE CITY.
a happy time, where this is just modern eliza. i have debated on what to do about her eight kids, considering i really can't just erase them. in this verse, it's mainly just that eliza constantly gets pregnant, and by their fifth kid, alexander and eliza just gave up. it's not taking place in college, or anything like that. also, in this verse, i don't think that he would have cheated on her, considering there are a lot of things that differ from it.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN HUFFLEPUFF.
her father was a wizard while her mother was a muggle, making her a half-blood. at eleven she got accepted into hogwarts and was off, trying to make everything seem alright for her. she was put into gryffindor, but everyone she met thought that she was in hufflepuff, but that wasn't the case at all. her wand is a 13 inch with laurel wood and the core is made of unicorn hair.
