Cringetober Prompt 11 - Crossover
I struggled a bit for this one until I remembered a hypothetical my friends and I came up with where our previous and current blorbos are put in a room together.
I decided to do John Laurens (Hamilton: The Musical) and Freddy Fazbear (Five Nights at Freddy's) because the idea of Laurens seeing man-made horrors beyond his 17th century comprehension was really funny to me.

🎉 Today is Alexander Hamilton’s birthday, y’all: January 11th 🎉
Yes, the guy whose face is literally on your ten-dollar bill was born today!
Alexander Hamilton is one of those people in history who basically came out of nowhere and became a national icon, but the universe apparently didn’t give us a clean birth certificate. When it comes to the year of his birth, we get what is the historical version of “lol good luck.” There is, unfortunately, no baptismal record, and no diary that says “Today I turned 12, huzzah!” His mother’s complicated marital history and colonial bureaucracy didn’t exactly help. Later admirers and biographers guessed, argued, and...voila. Two birth years entered the public consciousness, and now we fight about it like it’s a modern Twitter war.
Anyway, historians have long debated 1755 vs. 1757, so which is it?
Evidence pointing to 1755:
- St. Croix hurricane letter, 1772. Hamilton wrote an impressively detailed account of the hurricane that hit St. Croix in August 1772. The letter itself was printed in The Royal Danish American Gazette on October 3, 1772. Contemporaries later described the author as a “17-year-old clerk” on St. Croix. If Hamilton was born in January 1755, that lines up—he would have just turned 17. If he was born in 1757, he’d be 15.
- St. Croix legal records, 1767. There’s a mortgage document from Christiansted dated August 10, 1767, which Hamilton signed as a witness alongside other merchants. If he were born in 1755, he would be 12, which is young but possible for a precocious clerk. If he were born in 1757, he would have been...10 years old. Witnessing contracts at ten? That’s some prodigy-level audacity even by Hamilton standards.
Evidence pointing to 1757:
- Letter to Edward Stevens, November 11, 1769 In a Hamilton autograph letter, he writes ambitious, life-risking, “I will not let anything stop me from rising in the world” energy stuff. Many contemporaneous archivists note that Hamilton was described as a 12-year-old clerk at this time. Born in January 1757? Bingo. Born in 1755, he’d be 14.
- King’s College admission, 1774 Hamilton formally matriculated at King’s College (New York) in 1774. If he was born in 1757, he would have been 17, a perfectly normal age for a college sophomore or private student stepping up. Born 1755? 19, slightly older than average, though still acceptable. Records don’t list age, but the timing subtly favors 1757 if we care about “normal” college chronology.
There is no particularly conclusive evidence of either, thanks to family drama, island chaos, and maybe a dash of Hamilton wanting to be flexible with his age for future political reasons. After he died, people just...guessed. Biographers argued, memorials argued, historians argue...It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Anyway. Happy birthday, Alexander! You may be gone, but the internet still debates whether you are 269 or 271 today!

Dear Saint-Just, wherever you are:
It’s a little creepy how the pretty privilege makes you a consumer product and not a serious political figure who deserves to be read as such.
Unsurprisingly, he himself criticized the commercial society (aka: early capitalism) for suppressing the individual's self-worth. He meant that the only thing that matters becomes consumption, without true freedom of expression.
Imagine criticizing a system that denatures humanity, dying, and becoming what you feared most.
For me, it's appalling that anyone can be reduced to that; humans are not products to be consumed. And much less dolls.
