ok expanding on my post from earlier today. spot/katherine thoughts

kath looks up to spot a lot. she thinks it's really cool how spot built brooklyn up from the chaos it was at first, and brought a sort of order and security to its newsies

(shameless plug but if you wanna know more of my headcanons for brooklyn and spot's leadership in general I wrote about it in this fic)

spot in turn respects katherine for her determination and hardworkingness (I don't think that's actually a word but. whatever)

the first time kath watched spot get into a fight, looking at her covered in blood, she thought it was incredibly attractive.

kath is one of the few people who knows spot's birth name (the others are hotshot, jack, lucky, race, and mayyyyybe crutchie) (my personal headcanon is that spot's birth name is "sarah", but I think the more generally accepted name for her is "siobhan"? I'd love to hear other names ppl have for her though)

I think I saw somewhere that katherine would have grown up closer to brooklyn, based on where joseph pulitzer lived? idk I may be wrong. but anyways katherine often observed the brooklyn newsies from her window when she was younger

before the strike, she'd never spoken to spot, but had seen her from the window, mostly in her kinder moments, leading to her having some confusion as to why everyone in manhattan is so scared of her

this one is kind of inspired by the moment in the movie before kony... spot secretly is very excited about having her face and name in the paper. katherine notices this, and she quietly makes sure that in any articles about the newsies in the future, spot gets placed closer to the front for photos so she can be easily seen.

spot rifles through unsold papes for articles written by katherine, and she cuts them up and pins them to a wall in the brooklyn lodging house. when kath notices this, she decides to start buying an extra copy of any papers with her stories, to give to spot at the end of the day.

kath sometimes hangs out in the brooklyn lodging house, she has a super good relationship with most of the newsies, but I will say hotshot at first was a little weird about her (in a "you better not hurt her" kind of way because. spot and hotshot are siblings no matter what. by blood or not it doesn't matter they're sisters)

katherine teaches some of the brooklyn newsies to read when she's around, seeing how good she is with them only makes spot love her more

spot has a lot of freckles which kath will trace patterns on, like constellations. especially the ones on her shoulders

spot WILL sleep on the streets if it means her newsies have a place to sleep in the lodging house. kath gets concerned about this, and tries to convince her to stay with her, but spot is incredibly stubborn. kath and lucky bond over their frustration because they both think it's stupid of her to insist on sleeping outside.

spot, for all her anger and her violent outbursts, is very gentle about every touch when she's with katherine. I headcanon that spot, in her early life, was used a lot, and had relationships, both romantic and otherwise, that were not very good for her, and I think because of that she takes care to treat katherine the best that she can.

umm that's all I have for now thanks for listening to my ramblings :)

so much untapped potential within this fandom that jack is a player. “girls are nice, once or twice / ‘til i find someone new”. i

am thinking about said girls. a wide array of them that jack went on a date or two with, made out with in the balcony seats at medda’s theatre, messed around with for a week or two before disappearing from their lives completely in favour of the next girl that’s caught his eye. jack who is bad with relationships and has an avoidant attachment style and runs away from anything the moment it starts to feel real. he’s left a string of girls (and a couple guys) behind him, some more hurt than others. some that he avoids the gaze of in the street and some that he’s already forgotten entirely, couldn’t even name them if asked.

And if I could just write about it… Oh, come on, Katherine!

"Write what you know." So they say. All I know is I don't know what to write, or the right way to write it.

gang PLEASEEEEE hear me out on spot/katherine. specifically girl spot btw. I know they interact like never in the show but when has that ever stopped shippers? their dynamic would be so interesting.

I've seen spath or spatherine as a ship name for them I think? I would like to timidly also throw out "typekey" because. this is maybe an unpopular opinion but I think the "word/concept associated with each character" shipname trend is cute..........

my biggest flex in this fandom is that I’ve been to Santa Fe on vacation and yes it was truly epic

we rode snowmobiles and it was surprisingly snowy

there was no planting crops or splitting rails unfortunately

“what’s your favorite horror movie”

idk probably the pain on jacks face when he realizes he can’t escape Snyder in livesies

I kinda get what you’re saying, but crutchie’s song ‘Letter from the Refuge’ is in my opinion, a very good and perhaps more serious depiction of how awful the Refuge is in livesies! If you haven’t heard that song or seen it in the proshot, I encourage you to find a bootleg cause it always breaks my heart

Since musicals are restricted set-wise, building a massive set for the two small scenes that take place in the refuge in the movie would’ve been a waste of money.

They settled with the song I mentioned above, which is poignant and sad, and still has a bit of crutchie’s joking spirit while being honest about how much mistreatment goes on there! Crutchie is very visibly wounded and the other kids around him seem miserable too. I encourage giving it a watch, I think the musical handled the refuge pretty well though I agree that Snyder was too small of a role and needed more!

i’m not gonna lie, snyder is SCARY in 92sies. they really show how much of a threat he and the refuge is.

kinda wish they showed more of how bad the refuge is in livesies, rather than just talking about it.
