Newsies (Live)
Ok so I rewatched newsies live at like,,Christmas and have been caught in a major newsies spiral so here are my thoughts 😻‼️
Jeremy Jordan 🥰 I get that he was kinda old to play Jack but Idc he’s iconic I’m so glad they called him back to play him
Same with Kara she’s an icon and literally the only Katherine I will accept for the proshot
Completely random but I’m glad it was a proshot and not an attempt to make it into a musical movie 😭 (especially since 92sies is literally already a movie lmao)
I also rewatched the og movie and watching it reminded me how much they BUTCHERED SPOT’S SCREEN TIME 😕 and therefore Tommy’s screen time 😔
Also Tommy Bracco he is literally the only spot I will accept (and like,,the only spot on bway that Ik so 😭)
The bg newsies 🥰 Literally all of them they were all icons the cast was literally perfect it’s unreal
ETHAN 😭 HE’S SUCH A CUTIE AND IS SO DRAMATIC IT’S ADORABLE
Andrew Keenan Bolger, also so glad they got him back as crutchie cuz he is an I c o n (as much as I love Andy I deffo prefer Andrew as crutchie lmao)
The fact that there were enough members in the cast that there was literally only 1 case of a newsie doubling up on characters
Literally the entirety of seize the day
The fact that Jeremy runs away from all of the dancing 😭
Also how Jeremy almost kills himself at the end with the heel click/bell kick 💀
The fact Michael (Tommy boy) has a rlly bad American accent but that’s ok cuz I can’t do one either 🥰
BROOKLYN’S HERE 😻‼️‼️
How Tommy’s (spot) eyeliner/eye lashes are sm more noticeable than everyone else, especially his bottom lashes lmao
How tf did Morris not hurt his hand when he hit the printing press?? Like gurl what 😭
The Delancey brothers - they were like,,deffo less comical than in the og movie but still rlly silly 😭
The fact morris literally just stands on top of the newspaper bit for like the entire show
Them bonking heads (I am a Delancey apologist sorry guys 😔)
Ben Tyler Cook 🥰 I absolutely adore Ryan Breslin and actually would’ve loved to see him return as Race but god Ben is so silly I love him sm 😭
“The woild is yer erster” - Literally no one beats his version of this sorry 😭
Pulitzer - He was so good and literally for what bro 😭
”It’s a compromise we can all live with” - Jack Kelly 1899
BEN FANKHAUSER‼️ Also literally the only appropriate Davey fr
The way at the start of Brooklyn’s here Jeremy hits the printing press in time with the music
The set 😻 Ik it’s kinda simple but literally shut up it’s iconic
The height difference between Tommy and Ben at the end of Brooklyn’s here and like,,everywhere lmao
Honestly the height difference between Tommy and everyone
Joshua Burrage - He’s so silly I love him sm
MEDDAAA‼️ GOD HER VOICE IS JUST SO UGH 😫 AND SHE’S SUCH A SWEETHEART LIKE PLS MA’AM BE MY MOTHER 😭
Will never get over how they can sing like that whilst dancing
HOW DOES BEN COOK NOT DROP HIS CIGAR WHILST DANCING SO WELL LIKE???
So sad Ryan Steele wasn’t there 😔 The dude who played specs was good tho (+Michael covered for the turns so 🤷♀️)
Hannah was so unserious she’s so funny 😭
Once and for all - this song will literally always give me chills
TOMMY NOT THROWING THE PAPER STACK HIGH ENOUGH DURING ONCE AND FOR ALL 😭
Ben Cook kicking himself in the face during seize the day 💀
THE CAMERA ANGLE WE GET DURING THE RALLY RIGHT BEFORE JEREMY ENTERS
The hug between Tommy and Michael (Spot+Tommy Boy) at the end when Jeremy tells them they won ☹️
The fact Oscar and Morris went for Les first?? Like gurl I get it he’s probably easiest to carry but what were yall trying to achieve with that 😭
The fact that the Delanceys like,,actually got their asses beat like that shit kinda looked like it hurt 💀
SANTA FEEEE‼️ Iconic 😻
The way Crutchie screams for Jack ☹️ although that one “what ya say” meme where it starts playing after Oscar hits him has kinda ruined that scene for me cuz I keep laughing abt it 😕
That one two people cartwheel during the scene change
”I’m glad to have you back :)” “Shuddup” - Jack and Davey (THEY’RE GAY YOUR HONOUR)
There is literally no heterosexual explanation for that scene
THE LOOK DAVEY GIVES JACK WHEN THEY REALISE HE’S A SELLOUT
Once again literally no heterosexual explanation for that scene
Ok but literally just how much fun all of the newsies look like they’re having?? Especially in king of new york like they honestly look like they’re having the time of their lives 😭
“That’s disgusting” - David Jacobs, 1899 (when he’s a victorian newsboy who cares about hygiene 🥰🤭)
Ik Pulitzer saif it too but Idc ok the dude who played Pulitzer was kinda hot anyways (I don’t make the rules sorry 🤷♀️ [I am sorry for this tho my taste in men is uh 😨])
That one thing Jeremy does after he shakes Roosevelt’s hand for the first time 😭
”Your majesty” - Crutchie, 1899 (Referring to the governor 😭)
Maybe I should just make one of these with my favourite lines cuz I have so many
Honestly literally the whole fucking musical it was iconic and I am forever grateful that it exists 😻
Honestly there’s probably so so so much more but that’s all I can like,,fully remember rn but I’ll definitely rewatch it and update this lmao
Overall I absolutely adore the musical, and I’m glad the proshot exists cuz it is I c o n i c (also I am totally gonna make a list of my favourite lines from it lmao)

Sorry for putting this under the newsies tag but it's the only way people will see it and it's about recent drama in my community. I want people to stop talking to me about the drama.
I thought that it was implied when I stopped interacting with anything relating to it on here. I don't want certain users involved to interact with me and that's why I've had them blocked on this account since I sent my last reply.
Do not put me in memes based around it, I let it slide at first but now I'm realizing that it's just making things worse.
All I want is to enjoy a film I like and I can't do that because people aren't ready to put their pitchforks down whenever I open Tumblr, and somehow it is coming back around to me when I have disinvolved myself.
Even if your posting about the situation at this point being “on my side” you are making me look bad in the process. I do not agree with cyber bullying, and this has moved past a morality argument into that.
I understand that if I don't like someone online I can choose not interact with them by the push of a button. I just need others to start understanding that too. This is now officially my last post on the subject!!!

Approximately no one (except the four people who voted for it in my poll I guess) asked to see this, but the brainrot is rotting my brain so here are my Newsies + juggling au thoughts. Feel free to not read this.
There is an actual plot that goes with this that my friend and I discussed while driving back from the festival I went to, and because that plot is supposed to somewhat mirror the plot of Newsies but with college kids who like circus arts, some of the choices I've made are for Plot Reasons.
My undergrad juggling club is unusual in that (when I was there) the focus was on big passing patterns and stealing/takeout patterns, and there was an expectation that almost everyone would interact with clubs (the prop) to some degree. At the festival I just attended, when we went to a stealing workshop, we already knew a lot of the patterns and picked up the new ones very quickly relative to the people who tend to do more siteswap/numbers juggling. With this context out of the way, some thoughts about various characters and what their preferred skills/props would be, with some example videos scattered throughout (not from my own juggling community, obviously):
Jack: Big passing
There's two varieties of big passing patterns: convention patterns, which involve a lot of people and are very interesting to the participants, but are not great from an audience/non-juggler perspective; and patterns that can also be fun but more importantly actually look cool to an audience. Jack is a big fan of the former--I think he'd like getting a big group of people to pass together and come up with fun variations on the initial pattern. He'd probably have an ongoing argument with someone else in the club (probably Albert) about which patterns to do in show routines because of this.
An example of a passing/stealing pattern that is more viewer-friendly:
youtube
Katherine: Contact poi
Katherine enters college with some poi experience, which leads her to join the juggling club, but unfortunately some jugglers have a rude habit of mocking flow artists, so she starts putting a ton of effort into learning how to juggle in order to "prove" herself. Somewhere along the way she discovers contact poi and gets really into that as a compromise between juggling and poi. She's not as good as the person in this example (he regularly ends up in the top 40 jugglers countdown), but to give y'all an idea of what I mean by contact poi/poi juggling:
instagram
Race: Rings, balance, and combat
On one hand, Race would probably really enjoy the math that goes into siteswaps, but I don't think he'd enjoy practicing them. So! Just for fun, he's into rings just for the meme status they had in my juggling club: they look very pretty and you can do some cool stuff with them, but they're kind of a pain. But also he'd be into anything that involves balance--he'd learn how to juggle while balancing a club on his chin, and he'd also probably pick up unicycling and globe (a giant ball that you stand on, basically). Finally, I think he'd like combat, which leads us to...
instagram
Albert: Stealing/passing and combat
Albert's true love is combat, but that's not really something you can perform, so he uses his ability to juggle while running/catch really weird/high throws to work with all the new passers in actual routines.
Combat is basically a game where everyone is juggling clubs and you try to knock other people's clubs out, and the goal is to be the last person standing. Albert and Race usually get everyone else out and end up going against each other, and Albert has a scar below his eye courtesy of Race because of this.
youtube
Crutchie: 3 ball patterns/siteswaps
Crutchie learns how to juggle three balls, decides he doesn't want anything to do with clubs, and then goes and learns a bunch of three ball tricks because they look cool as heck and can be done while sitting/standing relatively still. Sometimes people sit near him and juggle balls, but they've learned that if they do that he will likely start experimenting with stealing (in the juggling way, not the actual theft way).
instagram
And finally...
Davey: Numbers juggling and siteswaps
Davey knew how to juggle before he got to college, and since he was mostly practicing on his own he was kind of limited to learning numbers juggling and siteswap-type things. He joins this theoretical juggling club when he gets to college and immediately is very irritated by learning how to pass ("why is your inability to throw well my problem now?"). He figures it out eventually, but if he's going to interact with other people in a juggling pattern he prefers stealing over passing.
He's not as good of a juggler as the person in this video (no one is), but here's an example of what I mean:
instagram
You may have noticed Spot is not anywhere in here. That is for Plot Reasons! If you have read this far, thanks for reading my extra niche thoughts! I know I do very specific AUs, but this is a lot even for me.

It's a sprace au bc sprace is my lifeblood
Buttttt
Set in a small town and on the outskirts of the town is a house- abandoned, run down, no one wants it and it never got sold
No one really knows what happened due to the amount of different rumours flying around, each equally unlikely
Anyway, spots brother Jack has decided that in order to impress his crush, he's gonna drag their entire group out to explore the house, so they're all out in the dead of night, stumbling around this place and general shenanigans but the entire time spot keeps walking into cold patches, and seeing stuff out the corner of his eye, and hearing a ghostly voice, or feeling breathing on the back of his neck or a touch on his shoulder when there is No One there
Davey and Albert notice it, but the rest of them are Clueless and Oblivious
So later on in the week or smth the three of them go back and oooo mystery and an old murder case and spoiler alert the ghost is race and they fall in love bc that's Not Weird Okay
Maybe they bring him back to life idk
thank you so much for indulging my need to consume newsies fan content like catnip.
anywhore THIS IS THE SHIT oh my god... love the idea of jack trying to impress his crush only for daveys autistic ass to get overly invested in true crime with jacks brother instead. peak jack kelly bi-fail moment. but MAN race as a ghost is Peak i love that. he'd be such a little shit about it too, no matter the iteration. love the idea of spot, who very much does not get involved in shit unless it affects him or his loved ones, going all in on trying to solve this dead kids murder because his moral compass is just that strong no matter how much he tries to hide it beneath his bravado. also im a big sucker for the whole 'the power of Love brought them back' its such a fantasy cliche but like thats what fanfic is baby!!! also. maybe im just basic but itd be so funny for spot to show the 'things that would kill a victorian child' meme to the victorian child who got killed.
#albert: lil nas x would kill a victorian child#race: okay well first of all how dare you-#newsies#ask#sprace

Tell me about something you're writing, a story idea, headcannon for a favorite ship, or thoughts on a show, movie, and/or Broadway show. What's been going through your brain begging to be let out during your very swamped year? Share your joy and/or angst with us. :)
Hello, dear friend! Thank you for this ask. As much as I want to come up with a writing/fandom/reintroduction meme (and I will try), having a question to direct my thoughts helps a lot.
What am I writing? Well, the easy answer is "nothing," as I haven't touched my stories in so long - but I am hoping to change that! Life has not allowed for fandom writing in a long time, but I'm going to try and ease back in, and see if I can get back into my 300x3 habit - 300 words, 3 times a week. It was good for me before and helped me move through a lot of stories, so maybe it will be good for me again.
That said, maybe the better question is "What am I thinking about writing?" And that list is long, but some things are closer to the top of the queue than others.
The first thing is actually part of a series. I started the third installment of my Lucy/Caspian AU (Sea and Stars) for the Narnia After Dark fest this year, and didn't get to finish it (despite the fact that the deadlines were set around pagan holidays, which was delightful!). I really, really want to finish this story and share it with the Narnia folks who love and participate in NAD.
The second thing is another continuation. I wrote a story a while ago called Three Ways Peggy Carter Could Have Come Back from the Dead - and One Way She Did. The original story had four possibilities, and was set up as a series of snapshots. I got pretty invested in each idea, and in February I wrote a second chapter that was a continuation of the first possibility, picking up that story thread and showing some more of how it played out. I'd like to do the second possibility next, and see what happens.
I've also had a couple of nascent story ideas floating around in my head that I haven't started - a new Jo/Laurie story based on a Brahms song (and yes, that Jo and Laurie from Little Women), and a new Jack/Sarah story inspired by Sara Bareilles' song "Poetry of Dead Men." The latter has been in my brain for a long time, and I'd really like to get it down.
All of those feel like they are lower stakes than my massive Newsies love letter, We'll Be There to Defend One Another. I love this story so much, and my brain has been grinding into gear again about it recently, mulling over plot lines and details and how to resolve the many pieces I've put into play. It's just a lot - it's a lot of detail and a lot of research, and as much as I love this story and everything about it, it feels very high stakes because I'm so invested in the finished product living up to what I want it to be. So that may take longer to attempt, just because the stakes of it feel so much higher.
There are other things lingering in my WIP pile that I could finish, too, but I'll stop there! That's a good start. :)

1, 9, and 12 for the AO3 Wrapped meme!
How many words have you written this year?
52,387! Which is a lot of words but also... feels like not that many? But that's just because my last few years have been CRAZY productive.
9. Favorite pairing you wrote for this year?
Now, I've written some of my favorite sprace in a while this year.
HOWEVER. Special mention has to go to my beloved completely invented ship of Les/Hotshot, which has been a bg element in previous fics but actually featured front and center for the first time ever this year and has been a lot of fun to actually do something with.
12. How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?
hmmm. fiveish?
I currently have three open; two PJO fics and my Newsies minibang fic, but I have two others that I keep opening and closing that I'm hoping to circle back to eventually.
As a teaser, I offer you the titles of the yet completely unpublished four:
a different kind of prophecy
building momentum
everything is different (everything's the same)
interim
#finn writes#i don't know what brought me here but i love it#currently working on yet another reincarnation au so. look forward to that.#interim is an old good omens fic that i've picked back up

Newsies train HCs
I’m on a train rn but not like a subway/metro train. Like one of those cool ones that go through the country so here are some headcanons for how the Newsies would be. (This is my modern au which I will post soon lol)
Jack:
The train didn’t have many people on so Jack managed to snag two seats for himself behind the others
Medda encouraged him to go because he tends to get restless when forced to sit in one spot and he likes to stretch out.
he tried to Timelapse the ride out the window but the window ledge was on a slant and he couldn’t be bothered to hold his phone up
he texts back and fourth with Davey for a while but then gets bored and starts drawing
He basically just listens to music and draws for a couple of hours
He ends up falling asleep and napping for the rest of the ride.
Race:
Race also gets fidgety and restless when forced to sit still.
But he sits next to Medda like a champ so that his brothers have the space that they need
He mostly looks at memes during the ride with headphones on
He was also texting spot for a while
Eventually Medda tells him to put his phone down so he goes and sits with Crutchie for a bit and they have a conversation
he gets a bit overwhelmed closer to the end of the journey simply due to lack of space
not a full meltdown but he just couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
Charlie (Crutchie):
His wheelchair gets folded and tucked away
He sits across from Medda and Race with a spare seat next to him.
He has a really good book that he’s reading
Hes almost finished the book by the time Race gets restless and comes to chat to him.
He messages back and fourth with Davey sending random gifs and typing in horrible grammar just to piss him off
100% takes photos of Jack and race when they aren’t looking, the little shit. He probably sends them to them and says like “I see you 👀”
Medda:
She sits next to Race
She never minded how fidgety he is so she just listens while he rants about some movie or tv show
every now and then she turns around to check on Jack. He doesn’t notice most times but when he does he makes a point to push his headphones back and smile at her or wave.
she brought food for everyone
she looked at Facebook for a little bit but then was fascinated by the view and stared out the window for a bit.
she took some pictures wondering if Jack might be able to paint some backdrops inspired by them for her next show
absolutely held race’s hand when he started getting overwhelmed

why are you putting newsies back on my dash i thought i was free
the year is 2023. you follow me, you've followed me since rumors of a man that eats glass first were muttered on these desolate grounds. you've stuck with my blog through every controversy, and finally in the transformers posting and general memes you think you are safe.
the year is 2023, you get a notification. I have started a newsies discord and opened it up to Tumblr. I'm posting it on main. you were never safe.

Alright so back in November I had someone contact me over on Zazzle, back when I had the calendars up for sale. They liked my restored/colorized images and were impressed by my research on the newsies and movie stars. They asked for an interview, I did some research and discovered this person released articles for The Oregonian, so I accepted. This person, Tom, is a journalist and did several interviews in the past, so why the hell is it that an interview he set up, he forgot? We rescheduled the next day and......phone reception was trash, which he knew that location had that problem but went anyway. To be honest, I wanted to just call it off because I had better things to do than sit and wait for this fool to maybe call for another interview, but my ex was excited with the idea of me being interviewed so I agreed to reschedule. On the third day, Tom and I were able to get the interview done. We talked about my restoration work, my work as a historian and in silent film. I didn’t like that when we started talking about my job as a historian he kept bringing up other people, and talked like they knew history 1000x better than I did. I know what I know and continue to learn everyday, what the hell? Anyway, before parting ways he let me know he'd keep me posted. That never happened.
January rolled around and I contacted Tom, asking how things were going. He told me The Oregonian wasn't interested in my story because Longview was too far away......................what? Okay first of all The Oregonian has run tons of stories on colorizers and their work over the years, why would mine be any different? Second, my location has literally nothing to do with my art. So if The Oregonian rejected my story, I don't believe it was for THAT reason. In fact, I don’t believe the newspaper rejected me IF they were told about me because my hometown is celebrating 100 years, that would be an opportunity I would think. So I’m just putting it out there that Tom never told The Oregonian about my story. Tom did assure me he had another ace up his sleeve, there was a magazine he was affiliated with called Old Stuff Magazine. And again he went silent. Why am I the one who constantly has to contact him?
Last night I sent an email that basically asked "It's been seven months, you had a plan, what's going on?" As angry as I was, I didn't use nasty language or hostile wording, just came right to the point. Tom took it way too personal, and at the same time exposed himself in his response. He said that he pursued the story as far as he could.......okay if you hit a dead end why not just contact me and be fucking honest about it? Say "Hey sorry but I can't find anyone who wants to print the story" but instead there was this need to hide information from me. He then went on to say he offered my story to publishers pro bono out of respect to my work - Are you serious right now?! Pro bono means free of charge, you didn't even get in touch with me and discuss that! Also what publishers did you talk to? So far the only places you've told me about are The Oregonian and Old Stuff Magazine, so unless you give me business names you're straight up lying. Holy shit I know the scam, I used to tell my parents "I went to stores and asked for applications", that really meant I went to two stores. Oh and then he ended it with "Some stories just don't pan out. Given the tone of your message, this will definitely be one of them." In other words, he got caught putting my story on the back burner and doing nothing with it. All I did was ask a question, no hostility or profane language and Tom went full blown unprofessional by trying to make it out like I attacked him and he's the victim. Fuck off dude. It’s been seven fucking months.
I found his Facebook two months ago and he posts a bunch of newspaper related memes, from Superman to anime. He also posts about going on assignment, on location, and there's posts of him going on family outings but there's NEVER talk about meetings with publishers. Asshole got caught, he's not a victim in this at all. How many months did it take for those other assignments to get released? Probably not seven months. All he had to do was contact me and let me know the truth, like a fucking professional but he didn’t do that. I thought about contacting The Oregonian, but they'd probably side with him and it'd be a huge waste of my time. Anyway, here's what NOT to do if you're a journalist.

Ok now I'm curious to see which newsie you associate ME with
Okay so I went to look through your blog and the very first thing I saw screaming lady and cat meme and so my brain instantly said Race but then then the very first couple posts were about how nice it is when someone's open about how much they care about you and giving someone the bigger or better part of something you're sharing because you love them and so I'm gonna say you're Jojo.
I've always seen him as a bit of a jokester and always trying to make people laugh, but he's also the sweetest guy ever and one of the first people to know if someone is having a bad day. Basically, I think you're really cool!

My #1 post of 2022
Sprace Royal Wedding AU (Let me know if anyone has an idea for a good title!)
@gendistic42 Here is your fic for @newsiesgiftexchange! I absolutely LOVED your prompt! This was my first time writing an au, so I hope you like it. It's also important to note that this fic isn't finished yet because it is going to become my first ever series! Updates will probably be sporadic, but shall be made with love so hopefully that counts lol I'm so glad I got to be a part of this! Without further ado, here is the first part of *Inset Title Here That I Will Come Up With Later!* I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Spot was pissed. He'd always known that one day he was going to have to marry someone who was chosen for him, someone that he wouldn't have much time to get to know, and given his track record, likely someone he wouldn't even like. All the same, to find out that Denton had chosen someone without even talking to him first made him angry.
Denton had been his father's advisor before he died. He'd practically raised Spot and while it was safe to say he was one of the only people Spot actually loved, they two didn't always get along very well. Denton wanted to make sure that Spot would be ready to rule when the time came. Seeing as how his father had died years ago, he would be crowned king as soon as he turned 18, leaving him with far less time to prepare than most had. Spot had watched Denton rule as the Lord Protector, learning all he could from him, until he effectively took over at 16. It was a hard life and while Spot often wished it had been passed to someone else, he wanted the best for his people and wasn't willing to risk turning over his kingdom to someone who didn't care about it as much as he did.
Spot's inevitable marriage was one of the most common debates between the him and Denton. It always started the same way. Denton would ask if Spot had thought any more about one suitor or another, Spot would get defensive over all the other things he had been working on lately till Denton pointed out that Spot was using that as an excuse to avoid thinking about it. Spot would get angry, Denton would yell back and they'd fight till Spot inevitably stormed from the room to lock himself away in his office for hours on end. They always made up quickly, they couldn't afford not to, and they both understood the other's position. The last argument had ended with Spot telling Denton to just find someone for him so that he didn't have to think about it anymore.
Sitting in his office, Spot now regretted telling Denton to decide without him. Spot realized that while he trusted Denton to try not to doom him to a miserable life, he had given up what little choice he'd had in finding someone to marry. Knowing Denton, it was likely someone serious, stoic, and far to boring for Spot's taste. Someone who could help him run his kingdom well, but probably not someone he would want to spend his life with.
Most of the reason why Spot loathed the idea of an arranged or political marriage, though he would never be caught dead admitting it, was that he wanted to have a chance to actually fall in love with someone. He wanted the chance to admire them from across the hall, for his friend's to tease him whenever his crush walked in the room. He wanted to ask them on a date and go to the movies or watch the stars together talking about everything and nothing. He wanted to hold their hand and watch their face light up when they talked about their passions. He wanted to make pancakes on a Sunday morning while his partner cooed over their kid in the living room. He wanted so many things that he'd never get the chance for.
Spot jumped as his phone vibrated next to him. Looking down he saw the name lighting up the screen. Of course Davey would be calling him. Spot had known Davey Jacobs for as long as he could remember. The Jacobs family had always been granted nobility back when Spot's grandmother had been queen for their ongoing efforts to align the monarchy with the needs and feelings of the people. Ever since the family had been both politicly active and well loved by most of the nation. Because of their close relations with the royal family, Davey, Sarah, and Spot had practically grown up with each other. Spot wasn't always sure if Les knew that he was technically his future king, but Spot didn't care for Les to ever see him as anything other than his older brother's stressed out friend.
He huffed and ran a hand down his face before declining the call and going back to the document he had been trying to distract himself with earlier. Not five seconds later his phone lit up again. Groaning he declined the call again, unlocking his phone and typing out a text before the young politician could call him another time. Just as he was about to send it, that damned picture of a smiling, gap toothed 8 year old Davey took over his screen again.
"Davey what the fuck do you want?"
"Wow, Denton said it was bad but I didn't expect that," Davey's languid and amused voice gave away that Spot's reaction was exactly what he had expected.
Spot gritted his teeth a took a deep breath before he responded.
"Jacobs, I swear, you'd better have something real important to say."
"Dude you just got engaged and you don't even know who it is. You literally told your dad to choose someone for you."
Only a handful of people knew that Spot would often refer to Denton as his dad. Given that his actually father had been the king and was now dead, it would have been considered disrespectful of him to refer to anyone else as his father, even though the former king had never had much of a hand in raising Spot in the first place.
"Yes, which is why you had better say something interesting in the next five seconds or I'm hanging up, I've got work I was doing before you called!"
"Uh huh, because you were definitely focused on that and not on your future husband," Spot could hear Davey rolling his eyes through the phone.
After a moment of silence, Davey huffed slightly before speaking again.
"Look Spot, how about I come over tonight. I don't want you stewing around your office and don't say you're working, we both know you aren't gonna get anything done like this. Let's just watch a movie, maybe sleep out on the balcony and talk. You need some time to process this."
Spot sighed before answering. "Ya know what Dave, you pick out the movie and I'll cover snacks."
"I'll be there in 20 minutes."
Spot laughed, "You'd better, Jacobs."

Hi there! Soooo, I was just scrolling on my dash, and I've definitely seen your blog in passing, and idk why I've never noticed it before but your pfp is something that I made/an idea I came up with (Finch on a wooden nickel). I really hate to be that person, but could you somehow credit me for it on your blog somewhere? I don't really care where, and maybe you have somewhere and I just can't see it, but I would really appreciate it if I was credited for the time I put into the image. Thank you :))
It's in my bio now sorry about that I originally found it while dicking around in Google image search for newsies memes like a year ago then downloaded it ans never thought to go back and try and find who made it sorry but credited now

Your post already made a lot of valuable points that I don’t think I can add anything new. But thank you so much bc I agree 100% with your post on why sprace in the newsies circle makes me uncomfortable as well. Personally I’m not a huge Sprace fan myself but the way the characters are stripped of so much personality/individual traits for the sake of shipping and then in turn sexualized in order to make content, esp considered it’s towards their musical counterparts is. Not great to say the least. I’m sure that the sexualization is unfortunately in part because there’s generations of not great content of some aged some fics to back up the trends, but personally I can’t find a lot of interest in the ship just because of how lackluster Race or Spot are written due being pushed into generalized troupes. This is a lot of rambling, I just want to say you’re so in the right and also very good analysis.
YO thanks for the message!! glad to hear that my post reached some people. i was kind of neutral on sprace for a while, i mostly found it amusing that it existed in general yk? but especially after watching the movie, which i feel gives a lot more character to both of them (spot especially) as well as actual basis for the ship, i've grown a lot more fond of it. and having only watched the movie like, a week ago for the first time?, it's just really made me realize how sprace content clearly rooted in the musical depictions of the characters is just so... bland and sexualized. it feels like Nothing. listen, i loveeee btc and tommy bracco as much as the next guy i really do, but i'm at the point where i see art of them as sprace and im like. ive had enough of this guy meme. i love livesies and have been feeding off of only the stage show for 5 years but the longer i go after having seen the movie the more annoyed i am at livesies' watering down of some of the characters. i could write a whole essay on that alone so i won't do that right here at 1 am. but despite fanon purposefully blurring the lines between depictions of newsies (which i'm definitely a fan of), i find it so hard to feel anything about musical!sprace anymore. like at this point it just feels like fandom made up a couple of twinks to do gay together. like who are these people. i want that twink obliterated‼️
#could definitely go on longer and say other things. i love media a normal amount#thanks for the ask though again i def love discussing this kind of thing!!#funnily enough i just finished reading a sprace fic that was moreso movie centric and its like. the best ive read.#granted i have not read many sprace fics in general let alone long ones. but it made me very happy smile#ask#Anonymous

Hello!
I'm avid-avian, or Avi for short. My pronouns are they/them.
If you're looking at my blog because I followed you, you'll probably want to refer to one of my other blogs, where I focus on various fandom stuff (under the cut to save you the scroll)
@avid-avian-says - my main blog (you are here). my posts here are varied, including ao3 memes, lgbt (esp. trans) activism, tumblr trends, and other rambles
@avid-avian-hc - my hermitcraft blog! contains occasional posts about block folks :) pretty much just reblogging art
@avid-avian-sings - for my miscellaneous musicals. les mis and saf/starkid stuff not included bc they have their own blogs. in practice this ends up being primarily newsies.
@avid-avian-at-the-barricade - les miserables. I read the book and while back and am reading it again with the les mis letters 2024 event. bullying marius is my hobby.
@avid-avian-lives - currently between life series. I've been involved in the trafficblr fandom for years now, following third life, last life, double life, limited life, and secret life. I am a boat boys, team rancher, and treebark truther
@avid-avians-are-forever - my sparkly new spies are forever blog, where I ran the "spies are forever soundtrack tournament." I also put all my starkid stuff there, including hatchetfield stuff and hype for the newest show, nerdy prudes must die
@avid-avian-this-again - my (new) gravity falls, over the garden wall, and the owl house (with a focus on the wittebane brothers.) old one got deleted 😭. subject to name change.
@avid-avians-gay-wizard - merlin and good omens. I watched them and was immediately consumed with an obsession with these homosexuals, both merthur and the ineffable husbands. I'm a morgana apologist and hater of the big dragon (fuck that loser)
@avid-avian-writes - where I occasionally post some of my original writing pieces, including short stories, excerpts, and poems. you can usually find the fandom I was inspired by, lol.
you can find all of the posts I make (not reblogs, unless I feel like I've added something meaningful to the original post) under the tag avid avian says. this is a tag that goes across all of my blogs except avid-avian-writes.
other tags:
#tumblr chaos - for chaos
#tumblr culture - for famous posts, tumblr trends, etc.
#video and #art
#queer
#ouppy!!! for dogs and #urgente: gato for cats / #animals for other animals
#neil tag (gai man) - posts from the man himself
#bc i love him - boyfriend tag
updated as needed!!

💎 🎤 for the ask meme!
💎 What’s your most prized possession?
i can't really pick one thing lol, but i do know that one of my most important possessions is a copy of "the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe" that i used for a research paper i wrote back in my sophomore year of high school. it's very beat up bc of how much i read it, and it's still got all the sticky notes from all my annotations bc i didn't want to write in the book itself. the research paper i wrote using the book is one of my favorites that i've ever written, so that book and all the notes are definitely very important to me
🎤 Is there a song you know all the lyrics to?
listen i feel VERY proud of myself for knowing all the lyrics to "Carrying the Banner" from Newsies. it took FOREVER for me to learn the background part of the last layered section of the song, and for the longest time, i was just singing "something about a circus" every time that part came around, but now i actually know the lyrics lmao
