Highschool Fic update

No I haven’t started writing, I am currently writing an outline of what i want to happen but here are the ships I have planned. Also unless they are a musical only character I will be using the 1992 versions of the characters so if you haven’t seen that version you should.

Jack and David, but it’s like kinda slow burn

Jack and Kathrine, but by the start of the story they have broken up but stayed friends

Blink and Mush, obviously

Jack and Sarah, they did date prior to the story but non of Sarah’s family or the Newsies knew they were dating or that they knew each other, you’ll see how that works later

Sarah and Kathrine, we love the newsbians

Racetrack and Spot, again using the 92 versions only bc I’m a sucker for a good ‘92sies Sprace story (sorry Spralbert and Ralbert shippers)

Bumlets, Swifty, and Skittery, BUMSWIFTERY FOR LIFE

Snitch and Itey, there is no freaking way they aren’t dating they literally share a bed

Tommy Boy and Finch, don’t ask me why it’s just one of my favorites

Specs and Dutchy, yes 92 Specs this ship is so random but I love it so much

Elmer and Buttons, I LOVE THESE TWO AHH

Jojo and Mike, can’t have a story without these two

Sniper, Smalls, Hotshot, but all girls because we NEED girl power

Graves and York, gotta have some Brooklyn Newsies ofc

These are all I can think of at the moment if you have anymore that you want to see or that I forgot please comment them

ok so you know how sometimes if someone's in a really stressful situation their period just doesn't come ... consider ftm jack who gets his first period at 16-17 because his whole life has been soooo stressful ... finally in a brief period of calmness (maybe it's just after the strike or something???) he get his period and has NO IDEA what to do ... like he's never been in this situation, the only woman he talks to is Katherine .... he's properly stuck ... like he doesn't leave his bed ... and when he actually cannot take it anymore (cramps kicking his ass and he's well and truly bled thru his pants) he decides to suck it up ... who does he go to??? SPOT MOTHERFUCKING CONLON ... he could go to Kath but he knows she would judge ... and even tho jack and spot don't talk too much jack knows she won't judge and her and the rest of the brooklyn newsies can prob give him supplies AND tips ... win win ... anyway spot had no idea jack was even trans and gave him multiple tips on like everything (including binding in a way that isn't harmful) anyway spot conlon is a hardcore girls girl and jack has no idea what a woman is

dude what are the newsies birthdays .... like are there canon days or is it just headcanons ......

guys how extensive is newsiesblr??? can everyone active on newsiesblr who sees this interact ... I wanna follow everybody :3

man I get sprace I need sprace too I think we all need sprace ... but no javey??????????? understandable ig ig but man I love javey ... no hard feelings also writing sprace rn bc of this post ... expect it soon ...

I had a weird idea based on a typo Imagine newsies but there all cats I call it Mewsies

Jack: Burmese Cat

Davey: Savannah Cat

Cruchie: Ragdoll with 3 legs

Race: Birman

Spot: Siamese Cat

Pulitzer: Persian Cat

Kath: Norwegian Forest Cat

Medda: Maine Coon

If anyone else has any other ideas please add onto it

As an artist I feel morally obligated to assign newsies characters art equipment

(ALL OF THESE HAVE THOUGHT THROUGH REASONINGS)

Davey: oil paint or aquarell

Jack: Charcoal (to be exact Charcoal pencils)

Crutchie: pastel chalk

Race: digital art

Spot (specifically 1992 spot): oil pastel

Sarah: colored pencils

Our man Denton: lead pencil

Blink: Gouache

Mush: Acrylic

Boots: finger paint

Bumlets: those sand art thingys

Specs: graphic design

Skittery: ink art

Les: crayon

Delancys: AI Art

(Snyder Spider is the paint water you accidentally drink way too often, which gives you a stomach infection and a hospital visit)

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Newsies Headcanon

Brooklyn has a soft spot (pun intended) for cruchie (+race iykyk) hear me out

Crutchie: free

Brooklyn: not helping

Crutchie: refuge

Brooklyn: bringing their army

Because hes a ray of sunshine (yes ik hes a bamf and dont take nobody's shit )

Probably got started when jack went to one of those meetings with spot and brought crutchie with him for the first time, and crutchie smiles and is very polite so spots like mentally *protect this adorable sunshine kid* (platonically like jack)

And don't come for me saying 🤓☝️ "actually the reason brooklyn waited was to see if Manhattan would back down" ok I get that but this is a HEADCANON let me dream

Anyway have a nice day 😁

I am crying now. This is so sad. Try again Spot, it’ll work next time. Race is head over heels for you!

Spot: hey so I was wondering-

Race watching Jojo and Albert doing something stupid

Spot: um if you maybe

Race: STOP

Race: I’m sorry I have to go stop my friends I’ll see you later

Spot standing alone: I wanted to know if you wanted to go out on a date with me

Spot: yeah that was worth practicing for three hours in the mirror

5 new crushes I’ve gotten cuz of Newsies. Their not really crushes, per-se, just like, damn, they’re fine (who am I kidding, Kara Lindsay as Katharine is *sigh* and Ben Tyler Cook as Race is also *sigh*)

Is Spot standing on a box? He must be

"hi."

"...hi."

What are doing under Spot’s bed, Race? Hmm?

Jack: why does Spot hate me so much

David: would you like the reasons numerically or alphabetically?

Race: he’s got a list under his bed. I can get it for you

I’m on a Newsies kick right now, so…. I may have watched livesies like 5 times this week, but what ever. I just got an idea. So you know how Spot is called the King of Brooklyn? And Race is the King of New York? AU were two kingdoms hate each other and then their two crown princes fall in love (definitely enemies to lovers) and it’s the story of Race and Spot becoming kings and hiding their love or something like that. Now I just wish I had the skill to write…

I love that I can be Spot and Crutchie

the newsies as things my friends have said

jack: "I'm just simultaneously too stupid and too smart."

katherine: "do you feel like I called you out? good 'cause I did."

david: "guys I got manipulated by a six year old the other day."

les: "what if, after high school, I just became a clown."

crutchie: "last time I wore my bandana, everyone kept asking if I was in a gang. I just like bandanas, calm down."

race: "you best call me Tom, because I'm about to do some foolery."

spot: "I don't want to be endearing. I want to be feared."

Me? Have a WandaVision/Peter Maximoff fixation?*stuffs Peter sketches under pillow*

No! Of course not!*throws blanket over Wanda doodles*

Why on earth would you think that?!*slams bad drawings of The Vision under bed*

Here! Have a drawing of Brooklyn Boys!

Davey: Picking up your cards before the dealer is finished is bad etiquette.

Race: Then consider me un-etiquette-ed. Spot: I eti-quit.

Spot: I hate roller coasters.

Jack: Why?

Spot: I have this thing about falling faster than gravity.

Race: Hey Spot, can ya help me with my homework?

Spot: No.

Race: Please!!!!!

Spot: No, but I can judge you in a helpful way.

Race: Good enough for me!

I like how

In the 1992 movie, Spot is the taller one with blonde/light brown hair and blue eyes while Race is the shorter one with dark hair and eyes.

Then, in the Broadway musical, Race is the tall blonde, blue eyed kid while Spot is the short one with dark hair and eyes.

*Le Gasp!*

SPRACE SWITCHED BODIES!!!!!

“A porcelain tub with boiling water.”

I couldn’t stop thinking about this line so I drew it. Very sketchy and you can tell where the skeleton lines are and stuff, but I like it. And yes, I did his line in his accent.

Race(having just stolen a french fri from Spot): Sharing is caring!

Spot:

Race:

Spot: And killing is illegal, but you set the scene.

Race: !!!!

Spot Conlon-Theif au

“Hey kid, how old are you?”

“Why should I tell ya?”

“Smart kid. Can you run?”

“Yeah. Why?”

——•——

Name: Patrick “Spot” Conlon.

Age: Unknown, young.

Appearance: Dark blonde hair, pale blue eyes, many freckles.

Known for: Faded red suspenders.

Weapon: Slingshot.

Calling Card: Burn mark on door.

He glanced around the empty house, eyes immediately finding anything of value in the room.

Silver candlesticks in the mantle, porcelain vase on a pedestal, gold-tipped walking stick. Nothing escaped his ice-blue gaze.

There was a bag slung over his shoulder, much like the one the newsies carried their papers in.

In went the candlestick, in went the vase, in went the beautiful portrait over the mantle.

The gold-tipped cane slipped through his suspenders like a sheathed sword.

Now the bedrooms and kitchen.

Silver spoons, delicate china, gold earrings, diamond rings, pearl necklaces.

The black stovepipe hat on the hat rack looked lovely.

Pleased with what he found, the small open window waited.

But first, the door.

His pockets held an abundance of matches. Striking one against the wall, he held it to the back of the front door, making a black spot the size of a silver dollar.

A spot.

Spot Conlon smirked, reveling in the smell of wood burning.

The spot would be immediately noticeable when the owner of the house came home, but Spot never took anything that could be noticed right away, driving the robbed insane with worry.

The match died, the door was marked, and he made a hasty exit.

Which side are you on?

Does anyone else

Sing King of New York in the shower because it reminds you of that one line sung by Spot “A porcelain tub with boiling water.”?

Spot‘s theme tho

Who else loves that whenever Spot‘s on screen there’s always this wonderful Irish jig playing in the background.

Spot Conlon, District Master Work-boy of the Brooklyn Union, at the age of fourteen. Geez! We gotta aim higher guys!

yOU GUYS THERE IS ALMOST NO ATTENTION BEING BROUGHT TO THIS.

HISTORICAL SPOT CONLON. WORE PINK. FUCKING. SUSPENDERS.

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A KING

MHM YESSIR

I wholeheartedly agree

the difference between 92sies spot and broadway spot is that broadway spot will do little more than grumble and push you away if you wake him up while 92sies spot will annihilate you on sight if you so much as poke him in the morning before it’s time to get up

Spot Conlon can do the splits like a pro.

And Jack Kelly wishes he could be as cool.

So I have this story I’m writing where Spot is the son of Peter Pan so I thought I would share some of the art.
