hi i’m rizz! this is my carrd.

❕NEW: KO-FI IS LIVE, BABY!❕

couple things about me if you’re new here:

primarily a newsies creator, all other theater content is under #musicals normally

am mixed!! white/black. they/them.

22 year old blogger, little nsfw content. will not follow minors if a blog indicates they are one.

ao3 is, naturally, rizzjackkellys, my full government name

navigation:

#rizz.analysis: my down to business intellectual tag, home to all of my rather extensive newsies uk posts specifically (and other posts ofc)

#fizz writes: exactly what it sounds like! and without tumblr scrambling any of my ao3 direct links >:)

#fizz draws: i do exactly that also pretty regularly

#writing game: i do a LOT of snippet and au idea asks and they're all stored here! this is the secret #fizz writes.

#fizz freaks: i talk a lot. usually newsies, but…. outsiders too if you’re asking for trouble.

current:

commissions are OPEN! here’s my first one.

am currently doing sketches for tips! details are here, and an example is here.

[jack-kellys]

is it an unpopular opinion to get super frustrated when ppl say that “yeah bob isn’t innocent, but johnny isn’t either!!! johnny killed a kid!!!” yeah he did brother OUT OF SELF DEFENSE!!!!! we both know damn well if johnny hadn’t done something that pony (and possibly also johnny to get rid of all the evidence/witnesses!!!) WOULD have died, and that the socs would’ve somehow still twisted it onto pony and johnny that they deserved it, or would’ve easily just said they weren’t even there in the first place!!! nobody would’ve known!! the cops would say it could’ve been a suicide/s!!! like the justice system does not EXIST for kids like them!!! in terms of bobs death, johnny IS innocent. obstruction of justice is a whole other thing which yeah he probably shouldn’t have done but might i remind you this is also a traumatized child who’s brain has likely developed unlike most kids his age due to continuous abuse and trauma, even unlike most of his closest greaser peers, and he’s highly likely mentally not even able to make as sound of decisions in the same way most people his age could/should be able to, hence the stabbing in the first place, hence obstructing justice bc that’s what he’s been told to do and surely dally wouldn’t steer him wrong. nobody should’ve died, but there’s just no shot a drunk dude possibly killing/trying to kill a kid several years younger than him for no reason besides he was “having fun” doing it in any universe is at ALL equal to johnny killing a violent abuser in self defense 🫡

might i also add that being charged with manslaughter and not being absolved in self defense could’ve very easily been a reflection of biased justice systems, especially if ur talking musical johnny who’s canonically black & indigenous, two of the most disproportionately and unjustly incarcerated communities of ppl in north america. these systems are literally purposely built against kids who look like johnny, nevermindddd against people in his socioeconomic bracket who live in as poor of conditions as he does. even if he HAD stayed and turned himself in immediately, darrel and soda are told pony (and subsequently johnny) “could get murder one” in the show. like that is quite literally just not how that works, but literally what is a poor kid gonna do against a biased, possibly racist judge? like that’s the justice system for u today!!! nevermind how much worse it’d be 60 years ago!!!!

TIP ME HERE! ko-fi is live :)

hey all. today i am officially launching my ko-fi page, which is something i've been thinking about ever since i've started to get more engagement on my art. the last two years were more highly engaged with it than ever since id started posting more regularly, and now that im out of school forever i can give even more time to drawing and fun things like that.

until commissions are properly up, you can send a request in my ask box here (or send a message w/ your tip) that i'll do for a $4 tip! all the payment stuff is set up so it should be super easy. and no, this doesn't mean i'll never do a free request again- i'll lyk whenever those happen. this also isn't just for newsies, or any specific fandom- i"ll draw blorbos and ocs alike! this is like. really big for me so if you've followed me a long time thanks for sticking with.

with that....send away!

Greasers and the socs are not on equal footing. They’re not rival high school cliques whose differences are purely aesthetic. They’re different social classes, different socioeconomic levels. One side is rich, the other side is poor. One side has all the advantages and resources, the other side has negative amounts of both. It makes a difference. It makes the soc violence against the greasers so much more damaging. It’s what makes the soc jumpings of greasers especially cruel.

Both sides can beat each other up, but the effects on a greaser are much more dire. They’re the side that can’t afford the hospital bills if they get too badly injured, or even just new clothes to replace the ones that get torn up.

Both sides can fight each other, but the fights are already unfair when one side is malnourished, or sick from sleeping outside, or just dead tired from trying to work a job and stay in school. If the cops show up, one side is far more likely to get arrested, and even if they all get arrested, only one side can easily afford bail. Only one side is likely to go to jail, and it’s the side where a jail sentence will mean losing a job their family desperately needs, or sabotaging their chances of graduating high school.

For a soc, a bad run in with a greaser is just one bad run in.* For a greaser, one bad run in with a soc can derail their entire life.

*Except Bob obviously, but he’s the anomaly. The stakes are so high for Johnny and Ponyboy because for once a soc suffered a consequence he couldn’t come back from.
