this but blush my beloved. Why are there no good pictures of them at all
so I'd never caught this before because of Racetrack, but if you listen closely Mush is definitely saying "Dave, he's back!"
some Valentine’s Day art based on the ship poll I did
did the top three and two random ships :D
( I need you all to pretend it’s Valentine’s Day and ignore how late I am 😔)
I was upset and to calm myself down i listened to the newsies (1992) soundtrack for three hours straigh TALK ABOUT OBSESSED
*insert analogy of politics and newsies*
i don’t know if you take requests just perpetually and i know someone has already requested this but… i would seriously kill to see some jatherine… what they’re doing is up to you just something cutesy and lovey i’m ill about them
I will continue to push my "Jack Kelly is baby girl" agenda, please & thank you
jack kelly Has PTSD btw just so we r clear
He has a aspiration for ballet
He goes FERAL for raspberry jam cookies. it’s like his favorite food
When kathrine first kissed him, he imagined her to be Davey. /hj
A bunch of people think his favorite color is a blood red, buts it’s actually a bright spring green
He’s Bipolar. (this is probably the most close to canon)
Say what you want about Livesies, but they lowkey ate making Jack an artist. Solely bc of the amount of ADORABLE ASS javey hcs that can be born.
Like, wdym Davey is Jack’s muse??
Wdym there is a whole two pages in Jack’s sketchbook that are literally JUST. DAVEY??
WDYM JACK ABSENTMINDEDLY DOODLES DAVEY’S EYES?? HIS SMILE?? HIS SIDE PROFILE?? IN CORNERS OF HIS SKETCHBOOK??
WDYM ONE TIME JACK WAS PAINTING A SUNRISE AND WHEN HE WAS FINISHED HE STEPPED BACK TO LOOK AT IT, AND HE COULD ONLY COMPARE IT TO DAVEY’S SMILE??
jack kelly "why didn't they just say that?" autism
vs
david jacobs "im allowed to break that rule?" autism
okay don’t think about jack kelly sleeping with his red bandana under his pillow every night to try and protect what little he has left of micheal. don’t think about all of the newsies giving him pitying glances when they watch him tie the bandana around his neck every morning. don’t think about the name “micheal” being banned in the lodging house because every time jack hears it, he spaces out and stops talking for hours. don’t think about jack waking up from nightmares every night just to get his old family photo and cry in the lodging house bathroom. don’t think about jack and mikey, or more so, francis and micheal sullivan .
this one’s for you @ey-theys-was-coronas 🥰🥰
Okay but Jack Kelly who blames himself for everything. Jack Kelly who feels responsible for anything and everything and everyone. Jack Kelly who no matter how hard he tries, can never seem to do anything right. Jack Kelly who continues to hurt people with stupid decisions. Jack Kelly who only cries at night to prevent people pitying him. Jack Kelly who just wants to help people, but ends up hurting them. Jack Kelly who tries to keep all of the little newsies safe, tucking them in at night and keeping them out of trouble. Jack Kelly who forever has oldest sibling energy. Jack Kelly who finds comfort in his artistic abilities because it’s the one thing he can do right.
@ey-theys-was-coronas I bet I made you sad
the only proper way to dress jack kelly in a modern au to dress him like a butch lesbian who spends a little too much time line dancing at a small town bar and spends a little too much money at the local superthrift. and then drop him in the middle of modern manhattan
Jack kelly hitting himself because he can't remember his brothers voice
Jack kelly looking back at the drawings that his brother made him and his brothers bandana trying not to cry
Jack always looking drawing at the drawing Michael made him years ago doesn't know if he should feel happy or sad or rip it apart (he doesn't, because it'll just make him feel worse,)
Jack kelly accidentally calling Les "Michael" and feels extremely guilty for seeing Les as someone he's not
Jack always thinking about the "what ifs" and always silently crying in bed, sometimes only crutchy notices, and sometimes Jack also sees a bit of Michael in him, and he hates it
Jack calls himself selfish because of it because he knows he can’t have michael back so his brain just pretends that crutchie/les is him even if he doesnt wanna think that way - @xanderissilly
Jack sometimes he distances himself from them because he thinks he doesn't deserve themAnd he thinks he's just using them because they remind him of Michael and it makes him feel like the most terrible person in the world
Hope I made your day worse
Love, Scotty 💜
92sies Behind the Scenes
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.
just watched the newsies 1992 bts... they're so sillyyyyy 😭
gif version if anyone wants it:
”one day i am gonna grow wings” except its jack kelly wanting freedom in death
92sies is so funny cause jack is always just like yeah i have a family. my name? mother gave me it. medda? yeah, she’s my dad’s friend. david, your family’s really great. just like mine. they’re nice like my family that i have. i have a family.
Santa Fe isn't real, that's the whole point. Jack was never going to move out west. He never was gonna leave New York. It's a hopeless pipedream, something he knows he'll never get. "I'm saving up" No you're not, you don't have the income to be able to save up. He had to steal food to survive because he didn't have the money to buy it. "Are we going to roll over and let Pulizer pick our pockets" He HAS been doing that this whole time anyways.
Santa Fe is just a dream, it will never be a reality. Believing that it could one day maybe be true is kinda really all that kept Jack going.
Race the typa guy to say "Spot Conlon? That guy over in brooklyn? Yeah I've heard of him" while fiddling with the promise ring Spot stole for him from when he swore that if there ever came a day or a way where they could get married, they would
rise and grind guys
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
Latin name: Luna
Lovely name; Jack
Spot Conlon giving nonbinaries/transmascs gender envy since 1992
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?
today i learned that christian bale tried to get his little dog mojo an appearance on newsies but mojo didn’t like commands or crowds. we could have had jack kelly with a little dog. jack kelly is now a dog person to Me.
Jack Kelly is an Official Disney Princess, here's the proof
jack overthinks, alot.
a bunch of the newsies do, but jack? hes absolutely horrible. he blames himself for alot of things, every little incident that happens the first finger pointed is to him, his own finger.
another problem with this is he beats himself up for it, he’ll scream and shout on the rooftop, tugging at his hair and pacing around, he quickly shuts himself up as to not wake the other boys. they still hear it, but dont dare to ask whats wrong, because jack wont say anything. he refuses to talk about how he feels.
sometimes he wishes this feeling will go away, he’s desperate. so desperate he wants everything to go away.
