yo but can Miranda please be one of Santiago’s 7 brothers when Brooklyn Nine-Nine gets around to that?
Do you think it would be too much to ask for a Freestyle Love Supreme vs Lonely Island sing off, a la Sharks vs Jets/West Side Story style?

You know Peralta already has that photo framed on his wall. He can’t pull it together to frame and display any other photo, but this one? The one with his honorary nieces and his honorary dad trolling the fuck out of him, while he smiles like a smug, clueless jackass?
HIS FAVORITE FAMILY PHOTO EVER.
See, Sarge? Tough love works.

Holt: That’s actually a very difficult question. The whole show is amazing. I’ve been a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda since IN THE HEIGHTS. BRING IT ON, THE MUSICAL, I think, is a work of under appreciated brilliance. And I have been mulling over which is my favorite song since seeing the show last February. (Kevin and I are members of the Public.)
But if I were forced to choose, I would probably say “Non-Stop.” Miranda does a masterful job of weaving each characters leitmotifs into a rousing crescendo that builds on everything that has happened in Act I while foreshadowing the tragic fall in Act II. You can really hear why he won a MacArthur Grant.
My least favorite, by the by, is “You’ll Be Back.” I have had that song stuck in my head for DAYS at a time.
Peralta: Hey, I’ve been “All About the Hamiltons” since 2005! I love this show!
My favorite was the Cabinet Battles. Those were awesome! Wouldn’t it be great if interrogations were done that way? I’ve tried but… suspects haven’t really gone along with me.
Santiago: “Non-Stop.”
No, not because it’s Captain Holt’s favorite. Is it? I didn’t know that. But I’ve loved Alexander Hamilton since I was a little girl. I would go to the New York Historical Society every weekend. I wrote my fifth grade book report on his biography. “Non-Stop” really captures that relentless work ethic I so admire.
(Oh, jeez, is it really the Captain’s favorite too? Now I look like a kiss up. Maybe I should pick something else. Can I get back to you?)
Boyle: Well, at first it was “Schuyler Sisters,” then it was “Helpless,” then “Satisfied,” then “Burn,” then I went back to “Helpless,” and then back to “Satisfied,” and went back and forth between the two, and finally ended up back at “Schuyler Sisters.” Really, I wish that the show was all about them.
I just want to know more about Peggy.
Diaz: This is stupid. It’s a stupid question. What kinda dummy ranks songs? It’s a good show, I like it, what does it matter which song is “the best”?
Besides, it’s obviously “My Shot.”
Jeffords: My favorite is, huh, okay, you can do this, Terry. Keep it together. It’s, huh, it’s “Who Tells Your Story.”
Hoo boy. Just… when Eliza wants to show Alexander… what she’s proudest of, I… just… *breaks down in ugly tears*
Linetti: You have to ask?

7 reasons why Jake Peralta is awesome, as explained by phil-the-stone:
1. He’s an inherently feminist character and it’s completely normalized. He
treats his female coworkers as equals, and respects the hell out of
them. Also, he has some pretty awesome platonic friendships with Rosa
and Gina, and Platonic Only m/f friendships are v hard to come by in
today’s media content.#i
feel so conflicted abt feminist b99 bc it is lowkey feminist but it
achieves it just by not being complete misogynistic garbage n having– #male characters that genuinely respect women as people & it’s like??? is that really all that takes????? #but
you look at 99% of all male-led sitcoms & like……. compared to
them b99 is aggressive feminist propaganda & i’m happy abt that #ANYWAY POINT IS b99 is one of the only sitcoms that makes me feel safe. good#jake peralta #could have been the typical gross male cop character #is actually cinnamon roll who is precious and respectful and progressive

captain raymond holt“You’re gonna have to try a little harder if you want to scare me. I’ve been an openly gay cop since 1987, so you’re not the first superior officer to threaten me. You know how I’m still standing here? Cause I do my job, and I do it right.”
