Tommy Boy: Why would anyone want to hurt Splasher?

Crutchie: Because they met him? He’s a little shit

[athousandboxjumps]

so i know a lot of the background newsies have last names but there’s something so funny about just referring to them as _____ newsies like:

“ah yes my favorite character, buttons newsies”

“specs newsies my beloved”

“elmer newsies can do no wrong”

i just love it so much

[athousandboxjumps]

happy new year may your favorite background newsie have a good 2024

Did someone call for some birdcrutch angst? I've always been interested in how Crutchie handled getting out of the Refuge, and how it must have felt being seen as the "sunshine" character while being angry at the world. So this is that.

Also Finch is there dealing with his own trauma while helping Crutchie navigate his.

There's a happy ending, I promise.

Me: i’ll just write a little birdcrutch hurt/comfort.

the birdcrutch hurt/comfort: over 5,000 words long and still not finished.
