I Definitely Agree That Movie, Broadway And Novel Have A Lot Of Historical Inaccuracy, But They Represent

I definitely agree that movie, Broadway and novel have a lot of historical inaccuracy, but they represent the Main Events of the Strike and it’s process pretty good (except the importance of Hearst in the Strike???)

The movie had a lot of characters that actually existed back then and I’m pretty sad that Most of them didn‘t make it to Broadway. ):

Obviously the modern Adaptations have flaws, for example the Price „suddenly“ rising, Spot being the King of Brooklyn instead of Race, the Strike starting in Manhattan or Katherine being alive during this strike, but the Happenings which were important in the Strike, like the Rally at Irving Hall or their leader being a scab (Kid Blink and David Simmons alledgy turned scab) were shown in them!

Jack Kelly didn‘t exist, but I’m pretty sure he‘s based on a bunch of people that actually existed. His role in the Strike and personality were both based on Kid Blink and Annie Kelly (hence the last name Kelly). His Story resembles a lot of things that happend in Kid Blink‘s Life aswell, for example turning scab (it’s not clear if Blink actually did it but Most newsies believed it) or going to prison (in Jack‘s case Refuge) other than Jack, Blink had a mom that bailed him out tho. The last Name Sullivan COULD be a reference to Timothy D. Sullivan (the Businessman that rented the Irving hall for the newsies) and the name „Jack“ COULD be inspired by the newsie „Jack the rare“ but the last two are just assumptions

(I forced my english teacher to let me write an Essay about this, because none of my friends wanted to hear it and it shows)

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

hi how tf do u nail davey's facial anatomy every time i cannot draw david moscow for the life of me

Wouldn’t you like to know weather boy

Just kidding! It’s probably because I used to draw him a lot on paper (my preferred medium) and that usually helps me to get features and stuff like that right (the drawings I posted on here are like the first few pieces I did digitally in a year, so it’s more like a test thing haha)

Every time I draw Race tho I get like 5 midlife crises and 20 breakdowns

This Took Way Too Long And I Don’t Even Like It, Kill Me Please

This took way too long and I don’t even like it, kill me please

It may be a bit cringy but it’s currently 2 am and I’m too tired to care

Is there any context? No! Just make one up haha

I totally just made this because I’m a sucker for Jack being head over heels for Davey the second he sees him

@nitttstdsdtoastd asked for Javid and I will deliver 🫡

(I totally made this for myself)

Sarah is another person we can add to the “is annoyed by Jack’s tendencies” pile
