mom says it's my turn to carry the banner.

[deardiary1899]

PULITZER AND HEARST, THEY THINK WE'RE NOTHING. ARE WE NOTHING?

[deardiary1899]

my typa guy honestly

Newsie: Bleach

Bleach is a stealthy Brooklyn Newsie with an intense glare and wavy bleach blond hair.

He dresses in a black fedora, white undershirt, and beige pants with his calves exposed. He doesn't wear any socks and has his laces undone so he can quickly remove his shoes and go for a dip at any time.

When he's not carrying the banner, he's carrying a fishing pole

which he gently places against a different sort of pole.

He's Spot Conlon's watchdog, always keeping an eye out for people who don't see eye to eye with him, such as Jack.

Bleach is light on his feet, moving from one place to another in the blink of an eye.

He sneaks up behind Jack, watching his every move. Bleach has one eye on Jack's back and the other eye on his surroundings.

Deep down, Bleach respects Jack because they both wear black, brimmed hats.

me after any minor inconvenience

rewatching livesies and seeing racetrack say ‘sure he is can’t you smell smoke’ mush taking off his hat. the camera switches to the group but we hear a smack sound and ben cook comes back into frame holding his arm and i think that is beautiful

[deardiary1899]

so in the 1890s dating language was a lot different from today…

so the newsies could say they were going on dates… but it would more likely be referred to as a public courtship.

and the terms Boyfriend and Girlfriend wouldn’t exist until the 1910-20s but they did have

beau- male partner /boyfriend (pronounced bow)

belle- female partner /girlfriend

unfortunately there’s no gender neutral because uh pre modern era and all, but I think Partner or Courted would work

Other common pet names include: angel, baby, beloved, darling, dear, dearest, honey, heart, love, lover, precious, sweetheart, treasure

<3 cute

I fully believe that the first time they met, Race introduced himself by saying, “Racetrack Higgins, at your service” and either gave a funny little bow or just shook Spot’s hand (and Spot tried to not let it show but he thought it was actually kind of cute and definitely more than a little intriguing)

[deardiary1899]

here is your daily reminder that Racetrack Higgins is on no accounts stupid.

It's a pretty common thing to see Race as the dumbass of the group, comedic relief or generally not taken seriously. Don't get me wrong- Race is a hot mess. But he's a smart hot mess.

You think Jack was leading the strategy of Manhattan? I love Jack but you saw him organising and strategising the strike -he was struggling. Yet Manhattan is still one of the more powerful cities, how? Race.

Race who figured out how to manipulate his way into Spot Colon's good graces so he could worm his way into a selling spot at the sheepshead races -guaranteed foot traffic, plus idiots who are either winning money or think they will. They can and will spare a penny for a paper. That is a good spot. One of the better ones in the city.

And you think Race is unaware of that? NO. He did that entirely on purpose. He knows Brooklyn's economy is doing a little better than Manhattans, he knows the factors of a good spot and he knows the angles he can offer.

Race is often known for winning every game thrown at him, you think he can do that without strategy? People who don't characterise him as smart are blatantly mischaracterising him.

Race wants to be known as dumb. He wants to be underestimated. It gives him infinitely better odds. Nobody pays attention to the 'dumb twink with no common sense' they turn their heads towards heavy hitters like Spot. He plays it up, he knows damn well what he's doing but he does it anyways.

Usually it's fun and he gets a kick out of the adrenaline. But the best part is people dismiss him. And Race is always playing the long game.

So anyways this has been your PSA that Racetrack Higgins is in fact smart and incredibly strategic.

How to mimic author’s notes and Kudos/Comment buttons

Anonymous on tumblr: do you have a skin that would mimic the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons section from the end of a fic? the desired effect being that the fic could go on after the “end” of the fic, so after the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons

Here's a tutorial/live example to do just that, with some of the buttons actually functioning. I'll explain more inside!

real talk your honor, i believe my defendant, jack kelly, would try to avoid more responsibility but inevitably find himself gaining more because hes so used to the heavy weight on his shoulders that he gets restless when he finally gets to relax for once. He tries to paint it off but then he needs to think about what to paint, and that gets him frustrated cause, yeah, what SHOULD he paint right now? something political? Something cute and sweet? he tries to sketch it out but aw man, it doesn't feel right either. ergo, jack kelly is me and i am him

[deardiary1899]

[deardiary1899]

omg im sorry for the late response but YES go for it!

ok new ramble (about newsies ocs) today so sit tight inside roosevelt's carriage and enjoy the ride

FIRST, I very much adore the world of newsies and the cast, and I so often think how interesting the story would play out with different roles or new characters--

SECOND, Sue me, but I like x readers, i LOVE x readers, i WRITE x readers and i love ocs and self inserts and If whoever reading this has rummaged through the newsies x reader tag, they'd see that quite often, the reader or oc is a newsie, or, a girlsie for whatever reasons, and, while that's pretty fun, I think that we could all totally have some fun with other types of dynamics and professions!!

I believe that Miss Medda and her theatre deserved to have a bit more lore and connection with the story OUTSIDE of Miss Medda herself. Do the newsies frequent the theatre? Are they friends with any of the singers, dancers, whatnot? Have THEY performed there once? Who's to think that the newsies haven't collaborated with Miss Medda to use her creative resources for activism during the strike (that would be very cool)?

Oh, and nothing gets me giggling, kicking my feet and feeling all giddy than a theatre romance-- Your OC/Reader performing the hell out of the show when they see a certain newsie in the audience? Writing a poem/song based off them, or, hell, for platonic feelings sake, dedicating a play to their strike?

And, hey, what about journalism? What about being Katherine's best friend? If you'd still like your oc/reader to be a newsie, what about for intentions different than "because I had to"/"I felt different"/ or the like? Maybe your oc is a journalist undercover as a newsie to get the latest details? Or, working under Pulitzer to spy on the newsies during their strike (Could lead to many different kinds of conflict, imo)

Maybe some of my examples could be leaning dangerously on the edge of historical inaccuracy, but, truthfully, I honestly don't care much? Might be a bad thing to say, but, so long as it isn't ENTIRELY inaccurate, I, personally, am not too nitpicky about any details!

This is not to say "Stop making your ocs newsies!", but, if you're writing with the idea to diversify or bring something new to the table, deviating from the common stuff is pretty cool. But if you're not, that's cool too, so long as it's not hurting anyone or everyone's having fun :-)
