What’s your favorite Hamilton song/character? Did you enjoy it? I saw in one of your asks that you watched it and got a little curious, sorry

Hm. This is difficult.

  • Song: “Satisfied” is the moment when Hamilton finally clicked with me. Up to that point, it was fine and interesting, but I wasn’t inspired.
