This Has To Be My Favorite Thing. EVER.

I just woke up and I had the weirdest newsies dream ever

So basically: the newsies were just fucking around, being gay (the usual) and then they found out that Mayer Jacobs and Nigel Snyder had a teenage-summer-romance (WTF Mayer you can do so much better) but then Snyder’s parents found out and put Mayer in the Refuge and forced Snyder to become a refuge warden so people “like him” couldn’t escape their punishment

(Snyder also had a pet sheep for some reason)

This davey doodle was originally part of a mini Javey comic but I think it’s WAY funnier without context

My brother: let's watch something scary

Me: Okay.... *Pulls out blood drips heavily on Newsies square*

My brother: ..... You have a problem.

"forget Trey, where's my fucking chair?"

If life keeps fucking me over like this my most listened artist on the 2025 Spotify wrapped will be the 1992 newsies ensemble

I know hear me out cakes are a bit of an old trend but this came to me as a vision and I just had to do it

“We're doing something no one's even tried”

LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER

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)

LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER

Yesterday I visited my dad at work (he works at a newspaper company) and no one got my newsies references ):

Boots! His back must hurt from carrying the movie

(Idea from: @make-friends-with-the-rats )

The gang is going to the beach 💪

Got this idea on vacation and just had to do it

I meant to finish this way sooner but life just decided it fucking hates me. Have any of you ever puked in a bus while listening to the Beatles or is that an original experience?
