I Really Really Really REALLY Need To Know If You Have Ever Drawn My Bf (aka Carlos De Vil)

I think 92sies David is fully unaware that he's in love with Jack (and that he's anything other than straight) until the alley scene, at which point it's less an oh moment and more an oh NO moment

[when she loses Carlos in a store, to a worker] Mal: Have you seen my friend? Mal: Average height, white hair, brown eyes, freckles. Mal: Clearly gay but we haven’t had the talk.

Me when my date is slightly annoying or something

it really breaks my heart imagining jack reading those little dime novels. he’s never been the best at reading- the letters get all jumbled and he has to sound the words out sometimes still, so getting new books is both a rare treat and something anxiety-inducing. but he has one, one with a bright cover and cracked spine and worn pages, that he’s nearly memorized. it’s easy to read that one. it’s an old comfort. it doesn’t make him feel like he’s not smart enough to get the words right. it doesn’t feel like he’s making things up when he skims the pages. it’s marked up and there are doodles on the pages and the cover is being held together by a dream. it’s his favorite.

92sies Behind the Scenes

During D3

Charlie: I hate him almost as much as Luis hates using his breaks.

Luis: *offended noise*

I kinda hate that there's very few fics where Blush is centric. Like, almost in every fic where they're a couple it's always something minor or only implied.

If you think of Santa Fe as Jack's allegory for heaven, everything becomes a LOT sadder. Him telling the newsies that he had family there he wanted to see, was he lying or was he talking about his brother and mom? When he told Sarah he planned to leave when the strike was over, to what extent did he want to leave? When Roosevelt gave him the advice that convinced him to stay, did he know what he was talking Jack out of? Was he promising Crutchie something darker than he realized? When he painted the desert for Medda, was he telling her where to find him? Did Jack want escape or did he want death?

The Newsies (especially Mush’s) reaction to Jack scabbing in 92sies will never fail to break me

Mush had said to Kid Blink that they will always be forever and always

He says it on the rooftop, lighting Blinks cigarette for him even though he wants him stop. But the night is so peaceful and the words slips out, the words travel straight to Kid Blinks ears.

Kid Blink blushes and looks at Mush from the side then cuddles closer and agrees with him silently. He repeats it in his head, "forever and always"

No matter what they would be.
