them brooklyn boys.. (redraw of an old piece i did like two years ago but I don't fully know if it counts as a redraw because it's more inspired than a recreation)

Spot, realising he's in love with Race: Oh- oh no. Fuck- no why!?

my little sister absolutely adores newsies, but she only likes the stage version and despises the 1992 version. (The stage version was the first one she saw, she's pretty young and still finds it distressing to see different people playing the same characters with different lines or plot points)

unfortunately for her, I prefer the 1992 version a lot of the time, so I'll be listening to carrying the banner (as example) in my room and when we pass a line that's different you can just hear. "Welcome to new yooork" "MUM, CHARLIES LISTENING TO THE HELL NOISE"

favourite sprace dynamic is when they're being kinda gay and one of them just goes "..uuh... what are you doing?" to the reply of "I don't know! What are you doing?!" before they sort of shift awkwardly and continue whatever they were doing but with more awareness

I assumed it was spelt how it was said for an embarrassingly long time

in my head the way conlon is written it’d be pronounced spot con - lan, which we obviously know to be not exactly true. Therefore: Colon

shoutout to the people who thought spot's name was spot colon. no reason. just a shoutout

the bravest person in the world

Race: dads.. I have something to tell you Davey: not your dads Jack: we know you're gay Race: okay- well did you know it's for Spot Conlon Jack: ... Davey: Race- walk away very very slowly, he's about to explode

[joeythefrog]

also... Spot smacking Race with the cane saying why are you hitting yourself and sticking his tongue out (nobody gets it) Race curled up on the floor because you just had to go for the dick and whispering "Race-ception" and something about how "if a Race hits himself, was he really hit at all..."

Race and Spot are so soft secretly people assume they're sleeping together, sometimes they are. But hotshot walks in one night with his eyes screwed shut and a hand over his eyes to try protect himself saying "Spot one of the kids threw up and everyone is panicking" before he blinks slowly because they're cuddling. Spot is kissing Races fingertips so tenderly. Races hands are around the back of his neck tugging at the ends of his hair and saying he needs a haircut a giggle caught between his lips.

He very slowly walks out because he can deal with it, and they can be soft in the confides of secrecy.

watching gen z and millennials make fun of gen alpha has been torturous. "But they're actually stupid" 1. theyre middle schoolers 2. isn't that what older gens said about us? don't you remember being 11?

it truly is just "impulse reaction to cringe <- has not yet unlearned shame"

the cycle continues let me out of here

guys. guys I think we should kill cringe culture

[joeythefrog]

Race the typa guy to say "Spot Conlon? That guy over in brooklyn? Yeah I've heard of him" while fiddling with the promise ring Spot stole for him from when he swore that if there ever came a day or a way where they could get married, they would

I saw a newsies production where Jack was 6ft and Davey was 5'4 and it was so wrong in a way I can't explain

[joeythefrog]

masc for masc sprace is teeth and smoke and agression and tension it's fighting and bruises and small moments of tenderness through this. The aftermath of cleaning scrapes and kissing teethmarks where the other went too rough

fem for masc sprace is teasing and a slow push and pull, it's softer. The masc following the fem around like a lots puppy, adoration and unfiltered affection.

Jack: okay so, to check if you'll be a good leader for manhattan, what are your plans for our furture Race: we will have lunch Jack: long term Race: maybe dinner Jack: god damn he's a genius
