HELP good for him.
Out of interest:
Who would be interested in a Sprace fantasy/medieval setting fake marriage AU?
Art for that out in a bit because I had to draw my Vision.
Meaning Race who is in Spot's kingdom (he recently overthrew the government, as one does) as an ambassador is bored and goes to steal things and then runs into Spot. But also he heard some stuff that was whispered in the palace and they make a deal

And every time he felt a fear inside him, a fear of them getting caught and taken away from him.
A little short-story from Bumlets' pov about him being worried whenever Skittery and Swifty steal something. Info: Skittery = Michael, Bumlets = Dominic, Swifty = Vincent when any 'real' names are used. Enjoy! Length: ca. 1.6k (and thanks @thatoneandlonelyemo2005 because we kinda rp-ed most of the dialogue)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would have been like any other day selling with Skittery and Swifty if he hadnât seen Skittery grab a pack of cigarettes from a stand and only avoid getting caught because Swifty started offering the man a pape as heâd started to look in Skitteryâs direction. Bumlets had been too far away to do or say anything but this was far from the first instance of stealing heâd seen from them. And every time he felt a fear inside him, a fear of them getting caught and taken away from him.
âMichael, you need to stop doing that! Youâre going to end up in the refuge.â, he hissed to his partner at the next streetcorner. He knew that cigarettes werenât something cheap to come by, but with every close call he just thought about Skittery in the refuge and the last time that happened⌠it hadnât been pretty. They werenât together yet and he hadnât been able to help nearly as much as he liked afterwards, but especially now he didnât want to see it again.
âSo what if I do, not like I ainât been there before.â, Skittery just scoffed, putting his last few papes on a crate and leaning next to it, arms crossed, already defensive.
âYeah. And you know how you were the last time you got out. Iâm worrying about you when youâre in there, Michael. I know we werenât together yet, but even though you never talk about it I donât know youâre going through things there. JustâŚplease, dear.â
As Skittery rolled his eyes he knew the argument wasnât so easily won. âThen Vince has to stop too, it ainât fair if I gotta but he doesnât.â
Swifty, who up until then had only listened, poked Skittery into the side with his elbow. âWell unlike you I ainât ever been caught-â
âOh sure, your undershirt ripped by itself, not because someone caught ya and grabbed you-â
âNever been to the refuge though-â
Theyâd truly be the death of him. âBoys. Vince, Mica, stop. Iâm just⌠I canât help but worry, okay? When either of you steal.â
That shut them up, at least for a few moments.
âDom, you donât have to worry, the others also donât-â
âBut you arenât the others. Youâre different, to me. Canât I care about the two boys I love? What would you do if I went to the refuge?â
âDominic donât say that.â, whispered Swifty, looking to the ground, picking at his nails like he did when he was nervous. At least he seemed to get more of his perspective now.
âIâll do what I can to make you boys understand how I feel.â
âYou wouldnât end up in the refuge though.â, he tried to argue. And sure, Bumlets didnât steal but there were plenty of other reasons, most of all that they even were in a relationship in the first place.
âYeah?â He looked right at Swifty, Skittery clearly listened but looked somewhere to the side. âI could get arrested for loitering, someone didnât like my face and called the bulls, it wouldnât be the first time it happened to someone like us. What would you do then?â
While the message finally seemed to have gotten to Swifty, Skittery just scoffed. âShould I cry about it? What the hell do you want me to say?â
âSkitts, donât say it like that.â Swifty tried to grab his arm but Skittery ripped it away.
âI donât care, Vince. What do you want us to do, Dom? Want us to cry and not eat or-â
Bumlets closed his eyes for a moment, before heâd get angry as well. He knew Skittery tended to get angry and defensive when he knew he was losing an argument but didnât want to admit it or when he didnât want to show emotions, he knew it. But it still hurt to hear it. Pushing his nails into his arm hard enough that it slightly hurt he tried to ground himself and think of how to really explain it to him so the argument wouldnât be longer than necessary.
âSkittery, youâre gettinâ angry for no reason, just shut up.â
Skittery uncrossed his arms and waved a fist in Swiftyâs direction. âI can get angry if I want, I donât gotta cry or-â
âYouâre saying this as if I donât do all of that, Skitts.â, he interrupted his boyfriend, seeing how he flinched back the smallest bit. He tried to keep his voice level as he continued: âI cry when youâre in there because I know Snyder gets to you and when any of you donât come home until far too late I worry about you getting injured or caught. I think about these things all the time becauseyouâre important to me and I donât want anything to happen to you. I canât help but think about all that. My smileâs fake when Iâm out selling because I canât stop thinking about what you might go through. And itâs okay if you donât do that, but I do. I love you and I donât know what Iâd do without any of you.â
That seemed to have finally gotten to Skittery, the other once more having crossed his arms, this time more curled in on himself, clearly ashamed. It wasnât really what Bumlets had wanted, but it was better than the yelling from before.
âDominic, Iâm sorry, I didnât mean-â
âItâs fine. Letâs not talk about it for a bit, okay doll? Iâll see you at the lodge.â
With a tight feeling in his chest, he turned around without even looking at their reaction and walked in the other direction, just wanting to get his last papes away after taking a few grounding breaths in an alleyway. He hated arguing with them, it always felt like heâd failed in some way, failed to hold them together. But he also hated worrying about them, he had to say something.
Tomorrow. Heâd have clearer thoughts tomorrow.
It was late at night, everyone already sleeping â or trying to anyways â when Bumlets just kept turning from one side to the other, thoughts replaying the argument from earlier. They had only talked briefly in the evening, mostly Swifty apologizing but not promising to stop stealing altogether, though he promised to be careful. Skittery hadnât said anything, though he sat with them at dinner.
Bumlets felt so bad, he shouldnât have gone when he did, he had seen that Skittery had been impacted by his words and he really shouldnât have gone, he should have reassured him that he still loved him. He knew better than this, he knew Skittery easily got into thinking that they didnât really love him, his mind convincing him it was all just a joke in some way. Why had he been so-
Before he could finish the thought something was climbing up the ladder to his bunk, carefully sitting next to him before lying down. It was dark, but he could still recognize Skittery.
âIâm sorry.â, he whispered, looking at the ceiling instead of to Bumlets.
âIâm sorry too.â
He grabbed Skitteryâs hand, squeezing it and rubbing circles on the back of it, wondering if he wanted to say more. He knew it was no use pulling the words from him, heâd either say them or he wouldnât, no matter how much he probed and asked.
âI justâŚâ, Skittery started, turning to him, finally. âI thought if you knew how Iâd⌠that if you knew what Iâd do if you were⌠I thought youâd laugh. If I said that Iâd break me if you were in there.â
Before he answered he put his blanket over the two of them, kissing the back of Skitteryâs hand. âOh mi amor. Iâm also sorry, made it sound like you donât care enough with what I said. I know we all care differently.â He leant forward and kissed Skitteryâs forehead, loving how he scrunched up his face but smiled just the faintest bit afterwards.
âSo itâs all good now?â
Bumlets hummed, but wanted to say one more thing where they could talk a bit louder without disturbing the others, so he sat up and motioned for Skittery to follow him to the washroom.
Now able to properly look at his partner, he saw that he had a chewed open lip and red eyes. No matter if they were already making up, it would never hurt to say more affirmations, so he took Skitteryâs face in his hands, leaning up.
âThanks for coming to me, I promise I was never thinking you didnât care enough, and I shouldnât have left, I was also just overwhelmed.â
He kissed him and was glad to see Skittery lean into his touch. âSorry for worryinâ you. Never thought that youâd worry that much, everyone does it.â
âDoesnât mean you have to. Just be careful, Michael.â
Someone came from the entrance to the bunk room and they sprang apart, pretending they had just gotten up to wash their face or take some fresh air, but luckily it was just Swifty, rubbing his eyes, walking as quiet as always over to them and hugging them close, leaning what felt like all of his weight into the hug.
ââm sorry too but you need ta sleep now.â
âDid we wake you?â
âJust saw your bunks empty. Youâll be tired tomorrow, go sleepâ He yawned again and pressed kisses to both of their hair before starting to pull them back into the bunkroom, taking no complaints. Well, they really should sleep. And at least they had made up.
Skittery still crawled into Bumletsâ bed again, and he held his boy close to his chest, stroking his hair until he felt him fall asleep before relaxing himself.
As much as he hated it if arguments happened, at least they had been able to make up, and maybe that was just part of it all. Finding a middle ground and talking to each other.

Three little words pt. 1
A kind of 5+1 scenario thing focusing on Bumlets/Skittery/Swifty because I have an obsession and I need to let it thrive. For a start we have Skittery/Swifty and their first "I love you"
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The moment heâd opened his eyes in the morning with Kloppman banging on the bunks to wake them Skittery knew this would be a long day. He had barely slept, if at all, even though he must have passed out sometime in the night because he couldnât remember seeing the sun rise. After the morning edition â which felt like even more of a chore than usual â he walked back to the lodge, left Tumbler with the other littles, and intended to go back to his bunk and at least get some more rest, hopefully. Even if he knew it would most likely get loud in here soon, the others returning after their own selling, but it was his only option for now.
The bunk room was actually empty, and he was relieved to find it so, hurrying to get off his pants and shoes so he could lie down. The room didnât even stay vacated until he had done that though, as he suddenly found Swifty next to him, a little notebook in his hands that he must have just picked up from his bunk. A while ago he would have startled, but he was more than used to the otherâs quiet steps by now.
âAre you okay Skitts? Not feeling good?â
ââM okay, just tired. Trying to take a nap.â He knew that Swifty wouldnât keep him from it if heâd known, and that he would cut the conversation short.
They both turned their heads to the door as they heard a commotion from downstairs, more boys returning from work.
âI can make sure they wonât be loud in here. Watch over you for a while.â, offered Swifty, a small smile on his face.
Skittery had gotten better at accepting help, but he still didnât want to force the other into doing anything for him, especially as he couldnât go out and do anything worthwhile while looking over him and shushing the others but⌠he really needed sleep.
âFine. But only if it ainât any trouble.â
Swifty kissed him in the cheek and then sat down on the neighbouring bunk. âIt never is for you.â
Skittery didnât know when he woke, but he must have slept since he couldnât hear as many noises from downstairs and he felt like heâd lost a bit of time. Just opening his eyes a fraction, he found the sun lower outside the windows as well and Swifty still sitting on the top bunk opposing his own, fixated on his notebook. The sun was shining softly into his face, his hair was ruffled, and his tongue stuck slightly out in concentration. Even in his still fuzzy mind after his sleep he knew one thing.
He was beautiful.
âI love you.â
It wasnât much more than a whisper, but in the quiet room everything would have been heard. Swifty startled up and almost let his notebook â and pencil he had held in his other hand â fall to the floor.
Blushing, he looked to Skittery and blinked a few times, clearly not having expected to see him awake, much less say this out of the blue. âI- Damn, Skitts, thatâs⌠I love you too. Just donât scare me like that again.â
Skittery murmured something about payback for all the times the other had snuck up on him and Swifty laughed, jumping down to the ground and going up to him to kiss his curls.
While he was distracted with that, Skittery grabbed the notebook he only held loosely in his hand, finding what heâd been doing for the last hours.
It was a drawing of him, sleeping, sun shining in his hair.

eating your art
Some less-known Newsies today! We have (from left to right) Swifty, Bumlets and Skittery from 92sies based on a very cute couple photo my friend sent me. (Most likely Bumlets is standing like that so he can feel taller next to his tall boyfriends for once :3) (Also btw their ship-name is Bumswiftery and they are so underrated)

I felt the absolute need to ramble about the problems my boys have so yeah this is certainly a deep dive into how I think of these characters, in a way, so... buckle up. I will try not to go completely crazy here (also it is kinda Pirate AU specifically but also applies to most versions of these characters for me)
First Spot. He obviously feels the need to be strong, to protect his people, he spreads rumors, makes himself larger than life, there is no room for mistakes, he needs to be perfect to keep everyone safe, no matter the cost for himself. It is suffocating him, but if anyone sees the cracks Brooklyn (either the borough or the ship in my AU) could be attacked, they wouldn't fear him anymore, they would dare to go against him. Specifically in pirates where we meet him in "Toss a Coin to your Pirate" he is worn thin by this, he has had to be perfect, not mess up, not do anything wrong ever for years at that point and it worked, he's respected, he's feared. But also lonely. He has Hotshot and his crew, but he is always just a bit detached, thinks he isn't allowed to get closer, even if no one would mind. And then he meets Race and it just gets a bit better.
Speaking of which: Race feels the need to be perfect too. Or felt, rather. In this AU I thought of him being the son of a rich Sicilian merchant who came to what is in the AU kinda where America is but... mostly Islands (I have played a lot of Anno as a kid okay). His father's only goal is to bring the family upwards, go from having almost nothing to basically royalty, meaning there can be no screw ups, no mistakes, no tardiness, only perfection in everything. Always smiling at social gatherings, charming people, bringing your skills to perfection however you can. He found it suffocating and got out, naturally, but while he would say he's stopped being like this he hasn't in a way. He still feels like when he doesn't do enough, makes too many mistakes, he'll get left behind by the others, he knows he needs to do more jobs then them - and why shouldn't he, he's good at them, might as well do it - working himself to the ground. It gets better, he has about a decade on Jack's ship to realize he doesn't have to do things perfectly to have people like him, enjoy being around him. But any reminder of his family could bring that crashing down. Make him fall back to previous habits.
That's why they also in some ways fit together. They have smiliar issues but not and they know what to do, what to say, when not to say something.
Buuuut they aren't the only ones with this issue of everything needing to be perfect. Which is why I thought of doing this post in the first place.
Bumlets wants control over what is happening to him and the people he loves, he knows if he doesn't have it he'll worry all the time. He does his best to help everyone, to do anything for them, to plan ahead, to take control where he couldn't before because his life belonged to someone else. But this also means the moment something goes wrong, there is an argument he takes it as a mistake he did. He knows he isn't doing enough, not enough for the people he loves, they're suffering because he didn't think of everything, because the choices he made weren't the right ones. Most days no one would know, but sometimes he just has days where he curls up, asking himself how he could do this, how he can't keep everything together, how he didn't do enough and give everyone a perfect life, murmuring apologies to everyone who is there.
Going away from being perfect but keeping close to Bumlets we get to Swifty. His problems are with his own image in a way, he knows he enjoys sewing and crafting and embroidery and before he hadn't really thought anything about it, he can also fight, but eventually he also thinks about what it means that he likes to wear skirts. They're easy to make and he can design them as he wants, but what does it mean? He doesn't feel like a girl or a woman, but maybe he should as he likes wearing these types of clothes too. And then he thinks about all of his hobbies taken together, are his boyfriends maybe only with him because he is more societally feminine in some ways? Not even his looks, but how he acts. If they don't even want him for who he actually is, if they're with him because it was convenient too. It ends in a loud argument and accusations, but at least after he learns it wasn't as he thought.
Last but not least Skittery who in every cannon has problems with schizophrenia-esque symptoms in the way he always feels watched, feels like nothing could ever go truly right in his life, people are whispering behind his back, only taking him in because of pity. That they would get tired of caring for him - especially in episodes (which aren't frequent but they happen) - and leave him behind. That no one could really love him at all, not like he is, that he isn't good enough for that. And later, that he is also different in more ways (I am generously taking Blood Drips lore for this one) meaning he almost can't get injured or is somehow just different and he doesn't know why. That he'll get taken away or go off the rails and not be able to be there for his brother, for the people he loves.
Honestly this is a depressing note to end this at but that's just mostly my rambles that I had to get out and they are all so sad. Similar but different problems and while Spot and Race were kind of Pirate specific Bumlets, Swifty and Skittery are too but also more broadly in a way. Hope someone read this to the end :) Imagine them all talking about their issues and resolving them <;3 Or arguing and causing lots of Angst

MY BOYS GONNA EXPLODE INLOVE THEM SM LOOK AT THEM
WE FOUND EVIDENCE OF THE BOYFRIENDS IN THE MOVIE TODAY! Ignore Bumlets okay. I'm so sorry for him. I could not get him to look like he was leaning forward properly. Anyways, the reference (KONY):
Swifty and Skittery look good. And then there is Bumlets lurking like the Meme of Aquaman sneaking up on Superman you know. But it's fine. I mean I drew this in like. Two hours tops with sketching.
Dominic Lucero I am so sorry I swear you're one of my favourites I am so sorry for drawing you like this đ
Be happy Tumblr, I was so close to just cutting him out because of my shame of not being able to draw this pose while tracing

Not to sound preachy but truly the Sexism surrounding the female characters in newsies is never ending.
These characters canonically have depth, and if you canât find that, you clearly havenât cared to look
and adding female characters, especially an independent, complex female character to the stage production was very important
Making the Brooklyn newsies girls was important
it is historically relevant, Annie the brick of all women and most faithful of the strikers, and Nellie Bly and a litany of other real women of that era who impacted things are So Important and Should Have Space in the historical fiction that surrounds their time and events
That is all, thank you

Fascinated by the idea that Oscar might say âalright. back offâ to Morris when Morris is mocking or intimidating someone
also fascinated by what it would take for Oscar to tell Morris to back off
cw: violence, emetaphobia
âWhat?â Morris leant back casually against the wall of the alleyway as he turned the cigar over in his hand before bringing it to his lips and sucking in a mouthful of smoke and blowing it out again into Raceâs face. His eyes twitched from the burn of it as he tried to pull away but Oscar had his arms held tightly behind him, lazily tightening his grip on and off, just enough to hurt. âGot nothing to say Racer?â
Race grits his teeth and tries once more to break out of Oscarâs grip but his fingers are digging into his upper arm so hard he knows heâll have bruises in the next few hours.
Instead he met Morrisâs gaze head on, knowing that saying anything will be a bad idea but if they were going to beat the shit out of him he should at least make it worth it.
âNah. Nothing you or your brother would understand anyway.â
Something in Morrisâs eyes darkens but his lips pull up a little at the corner as he seems to look through Race, as if heâs not even there, to address Oscar.
âYou hear that Oscar?â He takes another drag of Raceâs cigar, and taps out the ash. âHe thinks we wonât understand.â
Oscarâs grip tightens sending a sharp ache through his shoulders as theyâre wretched back.
âI donât know, Race.â Race can practically feel his breath on his ear as he speaks, low and close and dangerous, almost a whisper he canât pull away from, one he can barely hear over the sound of his heartbeat in his ears. âSee what Iâm understandinâ is that Kelly ainât here to take the fall for you like he always does anâ you talk a lot of shit for someone who ainât in no position to fight back right now.â
Race swallows hard and tries once more to dislodge Oscarâs grip but Morris just laughs, something cruel and mocking, and steps closer, shaking out his hand before he lodges his fist in Raceâs stomach.
It lands just below his ribs, hard enough knock the air out of him and have him taste bile in his throat and he wouldâve doubled over if Oscar werenât still holding him upright. Instead he sputters and watches as Morris takes another drag of his cigar, blowing the smoke back at him and through the breathless haze he canât help but choke on it, shoulder sockets aching as every cough shifts his body roughly against Oscarâs hold.
âNo fuckinâ wonder your da didnât take care aâ you.â He spits and he knows heâs being stupid as he says it but he forces the words out between wheezing breaths anyway. Enjoys the way Morrisâs jaw tenses and his face darkens as he keeps going, knowing heâs hitting a nerve. Knowing heâs going to regret saying anything at all. âSurprised he didnât drown you like fuckinâ kittens when you were kids. You lived on a farm right?â
He canât quite remember where he picked up the information but he knows heâs right. Heâs always listening in, ever the eavesdropper, and Oscarâs accent holds a little something out that way, something slightly southern when he says certain words.
Morris moves slow and casual in a way that has Raceâs skin prickling, has his heart beat a mile a minute in his chest, and Oscarâs grip has shifted to something tighter, arms almost pulled out of their sockets. He doesnât think somethingâs dislocated, not yet. But itâs coming close.
Morris runs his tongue over the top of his teeth and nods slowly, as if heâs processing Raceâs words, but Race is more aware of the way his free hand clenches and unclenches into a fist at his side.
âChrist Race.â He says, and his voice is dangerous in a way Race hasnât heard before. âI didnât think you were so fuckinâ dumb but youâre always lookinâ a fight ainât you?â
Race inhales deep as Morris takes another drag of the cigar and holds it between his teeth for a second before holding it up to his face and studying the paper label. Every movement slow and deliberate
âYou think it would scar like Snyderâs cigarettes Os?â
And Raceâs stomach drops.
He can feel Oscar shrug behind him. âMight as well find out.â
Morris meets eyes with him again, face hard and unreadable and Race is all too aware of the cigar held between his fingers. He struggles harder but knows itâs pointless. Oscar is better at this, stronger than him too.
âWhat do you think?â Morris says, and his voice sounds no different than it does every morning at the distribution gate. âYou can go home and compare emâ with Kellyâs.â
He tries to pull away again, harsh and rough and he can hear the thump of blood in his ears- a sound that becomes muffled as he feels his left shoulder yanked out of placed and his eyes darkening at the edges at the pain that ricochets through his body. He grits out a groan between a tensed jaw which only turns into a yell and heaved breaths when Morris hits him again, sending him slumping forward.
Oscarâs hold letâs up, only for second, only so he can grab the collar of Raceâs shirt from behind and pull it away from his neck, opening up the empty skin of his collarbone and shoulder.
He doesnât know if he screams when Morris presses his cigar to his skin, holding it there. If he does itâs distant and out of body and not something he can claim as his own as his vision becomes blurred and spotted, and heat spreads from the circle of bubbling red just above his collarbone.
He canât pull in a full breath, from the hit or from pain or from panic heâs not sure, and heâs not sure when Oscar lets him go either but heâs on the ground now trying to fill his lungs, arm at an awkward angle at his side and both Delanceyâs stood above him-
Through blurred eyes he sees Morris pass the cigar to Oscar who tosses it on the ground in front of Race.
âWhat?â He says, and his voice is cold. âYou donât want it no more?â
Race doesnât even have the chance to answer before someoneâs foot- he doesnât know whose anymore embeds itself in his gut.
This time he coughs up bile, sputteres it onto the cobble stones. The next kick catches his jaw and then thereâs a hand in hair pulling his head up, sharp and sore, and the hit lands and he can taste blood on his teeth and in the back of his throat and he needs to throw up but he canât, has to catch himself to breathe as another blow hits chest-
once and heâs choking-
twice and heâs on the ground and everythingâs spinning and he canât fuckinâ move or inhale and his whole body is hot radiating from the burn on his collar that feels like a gunshot and heâs burnt himself before but nothing like this, not embedded with ash or paired with the different burn of a dislocated shoulder-
and the third hit has him vomiting foam, the kind that comes up when someone has nothing thing else to be sick with.
His vision is black at the edges and his hearing is high pitched and muffled but just as he thinks another hitâs about to land, he makes out Oscarâs voice, he thinks itâs Oscarâs, he doesnât know, the only reason he knows a lot of the hits werenât his is because they were bare fisted and not brass knuckled.
âAlright, Morris. Back off âfore you kill âim.â
He hears the scoff, something that sounds like Morris shoving Oscar away, something that sounds like him kicking the pile of newspapers Race had got knocked out of his hands when he was stood outside the mouth of the alley.
Eventually, both footsteps fade.
The cigar is still smouldering somehow, just a little, a foot or so away from Raceâs face.
The smell makes him feel sick.

Hello !!
Minor update:
Iâm reworking some concepts and pieces of lore in the Wallflower AU- Changes made will be seen in the Doc.
One major change is the Specs Household; I adore them, but it doesnât fully fit in with my lore and was originally created by @specsbeloved (my beloved bestie) for our joint AU âNoobsiesâ. (Which is more her AU but I adore it (yâall should ask about it.) It fits far better into Noobsies, so I am passing the mantle of Specs Household onto them- I may go back on this ? Iâm unsure. Thereâs still a lot Iâm figuring out, but for now the Specs Household has been put in a box for THIS AU at least. For now.
(Posts about them are gonna stay but are now gonna be associated with the Noobsies AU.)
