Boots! His back must hurt from carrying the movie
(Idea from: @make-friends-with-the-rats )
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)

Happy late St. Patrick’s Day to my favorite Irish Cowboy Jack Kelly
This has to be my favorite thing. EVER.
You can’t tell me that modern day au’s of both fandoms compare the two to the movie counterparts. Specs saying Snitch looks like Neville and like George or Fred saying Neville looks like Snitch. Obviously in modern day au’s the two fandoms would be movies in the other universe.
got this on a video i posted on tiktok and all i can say is that i didn’t make newsies gay, you can take newsies out of gay, but you can’t take gay out of newsies
You guys are the sweetest, ur making my ego too big
Okay so I actually hate this one, but I’m sharing it anyways because we all love Javey
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
Yesterday I visited my dad at work (he works at a newspaper company) and no one got my newsies references ):
another doodle hehe
We all know David Jacobs, Nick Carraway, Remus Lupin and Edwin Payne would be besties
