eliza— ❞ pain drawn into the sutures of a BROKEN FACE. attenuated, drooping lips wobble, adam’s apple bobbing as his body FIGHTS(the war is over, the war is over, the war is over…) against SOBS. the words are digging knives into his soul, already worn by battle scars; he wants nothing more than to hold her body to his, as though that would keep the quivering of his own at bay. a great silvertongue swells beneath anguish, fed by opposing sides in his head, a HURRICANE, a battlefront beating endlessly against him. he is hunched over, pressed against the wall, back broken from relentless winds, from shrapnel flying down like bullets of rain. —from mourning.
❝ i didn’t know i thought… ❞ again, a great mind had failed him. YOUR SON, his heart lamented, reaching desperate tendrils out to feel for the melody of the keys, now ruined. YOUR SON IS GONE. because of you. his breath gasps, attempting to suck in air around a swollen, taunt throat that burns from tears. ❝ it was a friend, eliza. he was supposed to do the honorable thing. he was supposed to live, eliza. please,i didn’t know. THIS TIME, i didn’t know what i was doing. how was i supposed to know——?? ❞
it isn’t ANGER that splits his voice, but desperation. hands that were HOURS PREVIOUS holding his still-breathing son, tainted with blood and mistakes now TREMBLED. his voice isn’t the only thing that breaks.
it’s as if a LIGHT BULB goes off in her head as she stares at him, crossing her arms over her chest. ❛ that’s the point of a duel alexander! you get into them three times a day, i would think that you out of ALL people know what to do. ❜ what an idiot her husband was, all she wanted to do was throw him out of the house, all she wanted to do was SCREAM at him. ❛ he was too kind, he was NOTHING like you. all he had was your confidence, and that WASN’T enough! ❜ tears filled her eyes once more as she then started to punch him. she was weak as it was, but now that she was crying, she was even more weak. the punches wouldn’t hurt, but she NEEDED it.
❛ you think that you know everything, but you don’t alexander! you know nothing more, maybe even LESS than i do. all you do is think, all you do is write, and all you do is treat this family like it’s NOTHING! i have done everything i can to make you happy, and to make you be a normal parent. but god, can’t you just do ONE thing! ❜ eliza has never yelled at her husband like this, and even though there was nothing but sadness and desperation in his eyes and face, he DESERVED IT.

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.
