in manhattan, when one newsie gets sick, they all get sick. and they're fucked right now. "it ain't my fault!" jojo shouts. "buttons got me sick!" everyone rounds on buttons.

"yeah, like i fuckin chose to be sick," he mutters. the crowd of sick newsies starts yelling at him.

"everyone shuddup!" jack shouts from his bed. "i got a headache."

"someone gimme some help out here!" tommy boy calls from outside. specs, blink, and skittery go to give him a hand with whatever it is.

"what happened?" all the newsies hear snatches of conversation from outside.

"-in the street."

"-when to stop-" blink and skittery enter, holding an unconscious race between them. "ay, mush, move it." they toss race onto a bed.

"what happened to him?" ike asks quietly. there's a small cut on race's forehead that's bleeding.

"oh, he passed out in the street," skittery explains. "he's sick and wouldn't take the day off. never was very smart."

"now he's dead," blink adds.

"what?" a shout goes up from some of the younger ones until mush smacks blink around the head and tells everyone blink's kidding.

"they're kids, stop scarin them," mush orders him. "also, race being sick means only one thing. someone has gotta go tell spot conlon."

"yeah, that ain't scary," blink mutters. "uh, boots, go to brooklyn and tell spot he's got a sick boyfriend." boots heads off dutifully.

the next hour is a mess. all the newsies fret over race, who sleeps the whole time. and then everyone goes silent and dumbstruck when spot enters.

they're used to cold, intimidating, angry spot. not a caring spot. not a spot who immediately runs to race's side and starts checking on him.

spot presses his hand to race's forehead and then hugs him tight, pressing kisses to the top of his head. "ay!" crutchie shouts. "everyone hit the beds and give them some space!" race wakes up soon enough, with a worried spot sitting bedside.

"race!"

"whatcha doing here? i's just sick. ain't dying or nothing." spot kisses his forehead and stares at him.

"ya passed out in the street. gotta take it easy."

"when one of us gets sick, we all get sick. i ain't dying, spot, i promise."

"you need food." race shrugs.

"i ain't hungry."

"race. listen to me. you need food, you're sick."

"i'll throw it up."

"i will shove it down your throat if you don't eat the food i bring ya."

"spot-"

"tony. shut up. i's getting you some chicken soup. don't argue." race watches him walk out, smiling a little dopily.

all the newsies start hooting and cheering, whistling at race.

"alright, alright!" race shouts. "i got a headache."

Jack: Last night I found out Davey is a sleep talker.

Skittery: Oh, really?

Jack: "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell." Right. In. My. Ear. At 3am.

Some less-known Newsies today! We have (from left to right) Swifty, Bumlets and Skittery from 92sies based on a very cute couple photo my friend sent me. (Most likely Bumlets is standing like that so he can feel taller next to his tall boyfriends for once :3) (Also btw their ship-name is Bumswiftery and they are so underrated)

Some time ago, @buncha-angry-kids-with-no-money and I dubbed Jack Kelly, Kid Blink, and Skittery the Chaos Trio✨ because of the first big fight when they antagonized that one scabber. Don't mess with them or they'll soak ya. Or ... you'd win. Who knows.

My thoughts on every Newsie (92sies edition)

Part 1

Here are my thoughts on the Newsies from 92sies!

Jack Kelly: Totally cool guy. Resident leader of the Lower Manhattan newsies. Love him to death.

David Jacobs: TBH, I was kind of neutral about him when I first saw Newsies, but I started to like him eventually! And I have a lot in common with him!

Racetrack Higgins

This guy right here, is one of my favorite newsies. I really liked him from the first time I saw this movie. He always makes the funniest jokes. And Max plays the role of Racetrack extremely well!

Les Jacobs

I know I post about him a lot, but I love him so much! He’s so cute, and he one of my favorite characters! And did I mention that he’s such a sweetheart? I just wanna squeeze his cheeks!

Mush Meyers

I love him so much! That is all!

Kid Blink

He’s a great guy. I really like seeing his interactions with Mush. It’s pretty clear that they’re best friends.

Boots Arbus

I love Boots so much. He’s like the straight man of the group, even though he’s one of the younger newsies.

Spot Conlon

When I first watched Newsies last year, I wasn’t sure I would like this guy. But then I warmed up to him!

Crunchy Morris

I really love this guy so much! He may be sweet, but he’s also sassy!

Skitters

The resident misanthrope of the Lower Manhattan newsies. Still like him, tho.

has anyone ever wonder who was sitting by each other during KONY me too :3

First table with Specs, Skittery and a background Newsie

the next table (in front of Skitterys foot) has Dutchy, Spot, Snitch, and Itey (Better image down below)

then going back to the first photo on right next to skittery is Snoody, Swifty (who you can barley see shhh) and a background Newsie named Trance (i think!!!!!!)

Then at the way back we have Pie Eater and Bumlets, along with Race eating a fucking pickle for no reason-

but main table has Jack and David at the heads (THE FATHER AND MOTHER) Mush next to Jack then Les and Blink across with Boots on his side (or at least Boots comes up to that side)

Jake gets his own table which he is so fr, but I think Sniper sits with him because the next scene Sniper shows up in that area

bonus bc i said so BUT LOOK AT THEM OKAY THE GAYS THEY JUST-INGORE MUSH LOOK AT BUMSWIFTERY

@chaosfairy18 all bc of this post https://www.tumblr.com/leninille/746407303134248960/shitpost-art-to-fight-artblock-yahoo?source=share

Do you have any headcannons for skittery or tumbler?

Rubbing my hands together like an evil little fly rn…

I headcanon Skittery and Tumbler as biological brothers. This is partly because of the hug they share in 92sies, and partly because @chaosfairy18’s writes them as so and I really liked it—

They were born in America seven years apart and were orphaned when Tumbler was 3 and Skittery 10. Their father died due to a work place incident and their mother became ill and passed away. They’d been newsies before that but that’s when they moved into the lodging house.

Tumbler gets his name from basically being a good tumbler. He can do perfectly cartwheels and summersaults. His name can also having a double meaning of just being generally rough-and-tumble.

Skittery gets his namesake from his symptoms of low level schizophrenia. He’ll often get “skittish” and while the other boys try to help, it’s 1899 and they aren’t sensitive to mental health issues.

Skittery is often worried that his mental health with deteriorate to much to look after his little brother but he never expresses this thought outwardly.

Race: You’ll do this for me?

Skittery: Sure, for $5,000

Race: $5,000!?

Skittery: Fine, $500

Race: Can you do $20?

Skittery: Yeah, but you’re a dick

Tumbler, over radio: Testing. Testing. Skittery, can you hear me?

Skittery, standing next to Tumbler: I’m standing right here.

Tumbler: You’re coming through good and loud.

Skittery: ‘Cause I’m standing right here.

WE FOUND EVIDENCE OF THE BOYFRIENDS IN THE MOVIE TODAY! Ignore Bumlets okay. I'm so sorry for him. I could not get him to look like he was leaning forward properly. Anyways, the reference (KONY):

Swifty and Skittery look good. And then there is Bumlets lurking like the Meme of Aquaman sneaking up on Superman you know. But it's fine. I mean I drew this in like. Two hours tops with sketching.

Dominic Lucero I am so sorry I swear you're one of my favourites I am so sorry for drawing you like this 😭

Be happy Tumblr, I was so close to just cutting him out because of my shame of not being able to draw this pose while tracing
