And so it begins! Today’s song is to the melody of “Alexander Hamilton.”
Note: I’m going to character-tag based on the historical figures being portrayed. The actors are getting grouped together as “Leachtric actors” unless they’re notable out-of-character. (So, basically, just Cedar and Lynwood.)
We’re not going to play you every note of the wildly popular historical musical Leachtric. But it opens with a number that introduces all the key players, so let’s listen to some clips.
Telga, Star mage. The actress has a mild water affinity, but all magic in the show is created with special effects.
Telga: I fought for her
Mistel, squire. Played by talented teen heartthrob Cedar Oseille.
Mistel: I served her
Artemisia, military leader. Has a current incarnation, who let the props department make this replica heartsword from firsthand study.
Artemisia: I trained her
Political allies. Helped draft the Constitution, assign districts, write campaign jingles.
Win/Brod/etc: I voted for her
And Palmeti, whose current incarnation declined to comment.
Palmeti: And I’m the damn fool that loved her.

So hang on, does everyone in this world somehow reincarnate?
It increasingly sounds that way. I wonder what percentage of people realize they’re reincarnated.
Everyone reincarnates, but in-universe it’s just a widely-accepted theory, because they don’t have any way to prove it. Most people don’t know the specifics about who they were reincarnated from, unless they’re a long-runner (like present!Palmeti), or can verify it by heartsword (like present!Artemisia).
So all souls are just reused? No one new ever arrives on-scene?
No, new souls can be born — with the population always growing, they’d have to be! Then once they’ve come into existence, they stay in the cycle.
Is that last panel for the Hamilton/Burr shippers? (I assume such people exist…)
Heck, I’d be surprised if that ship didn’t have a presence before the play.
Guess the shippers had to wait for it.
Hamilton/Burr isn’t a rarepair, I can tell you that. The oddest ship I’VE ever seen including Hamilton cast was Hamilton/Lin Manuel Miranda. Or possibly Eliza/Maria.
aaaaaaaaaaaa
…Palmeti’s swoosy scarf makes me think ‘mage’, and I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing.
Soooo are those reflections in Cedar/Mistel’s eyes shaped like chalices or is it just me.
It’s not just you
This is already better than Hamilton because aside from the lead being a woman, the supporting women also did more than love the lead.
is that… Acai? Acai was the character with the scarf like that right? or maybe its a cultural thing…
Pretty much what I was thinking…
but on the other hand, a long-runner simply resuming a place high in the government seems like the kind of thing Leachtric was trying to prevent.
Now, if Acai is Palmeti reincarnated, and she won her way back to the top by merit, that’d prolly be fine.
Top right: “How does a bastard”
Left to right across the bottom panels: “orphan son of a whore”
“and a Scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten”
“Spot in the Caribbea(n)”
How does a re-in-carnate
Founder of the Ceannic nation
Hiding her heartsword for fear of its station
And avoiding the people’s inclination
Turn out to be the savior of the nation?
GDI, this is REAL good I love it!
