I saw TUTS Newsies last night and here are some little things I noticed and also thoughts and opinions because I have them!

The *second* the actor stepped on stage, @jlmjlmjlm leans over to me and says “He is SO Davey” and I 1000% agree. Costume, acting, the way he held himself? Perfection. THE Davey of all time

((Davey was the show stealer for me honestly. He was so fucking good. Put his whole Davussy into everything. Probably the best tenor in the show and also a great dancer))

PULITZER HAS A RUSSAIN/EUROPEAN ACCENT??

In the first circulation gate scene where Davey is introduced, Race sits on a stack of newspapers and continuously drums on them, kind of in his own little world, incredible ADHD coded

In the transition after the “That’s disgusting/that’s business” scene, Les spits on his hand and shoves it in Davey’s face. Davey moves out of the was but cracks the fuck up. It’s so siblings and so damn cute

Davey tries to follow Jack when he goes up to the box to speak with Katherine, but Jack stops him

The scene before TWWK shows Davey as MUCH more conflicted than livesies. He’s not standing with the newsies, he’s in the middle of the stage and keeps looking back between the circulation gate and them and finally goes with the newsies to strike and it’s SO GOOD

Honestly this whole scene Davey is SUCH A FUCKING LEADER and it’s amazing! Not only Jack, but the rest of the newsies keep looking for to him for guidance on the strike and it’s very funny but also so good. I think this might be my favorite Davey yet.

In the Seize the Day fight scene, one of the goons picks up Les and Davey and a few other newsies go to help him and then use him as a battering ram

“The woild is… *dramatic pause, looks off into distance* ya erster!” “Ya what?” 😒 “*redoes dramatic pause* Ya erster!”

No tap break for KONY :(

But Katherine and Davey are BESTIESSSSS! She stands on the table and says “Alright Davey!”

Davey also ate during this dance scene and left not a single crumb

“Is that a real place? Is that—”*Davey takes off his hat and holds it to his heart and looks up to the sky like he’s swooning* “Santa Fe?”

The way they hid Katherine from Jack in Pulitzer’s office was SO FUCKING FUNNY. Pulitzer tells her to sit before Jack comes in and she does, but as soon as the door opens she makes the shrek meme face and spins the chair around and slides her back down the chair to hide and it was SO GOOD that actress was so fantastic!

When Davey is speaking at the rally before Jack gets there, one of the newsies shouts “YOU TELL EM DAVEY!” And it’s very cute and funny, these newsies looooove Davey

Oh my god the POST RALLY TRANSITION??? Is fucking amazing. Jack takes the money off to the side and disappears. Spotlight on Davey and the Manhattan newsies all forming a line on the apron. They all start looking for Jack, calling for him and no one can find him so they all look to DAVEY and start crowding him like “what do we do?” And Davey has no idea what to do, gets overwhelmed and runs offstage, all of the newsies following him

Before Once And For All, Katherine and Davey have an off to the side moment and give each other little hi-fives

*thick Russian accent* “It’s a compromise we can all live with”

“What’s Santa Fe got that New York ain’t? Sandstorms?”

When Jack and Katherine kiss at the very end of the show, all the newsies lose their shit and Davey is the ONLY one who doesn’t clap for them akdhsjsj

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with and looooved how Davey-centric it was! One of my favorite Davey’s ever. He and Kath totally stole the show. Great experience and probably the best birthday present ever in the history 💞💞

Tryin' to get into traditional painting right now and a mate of mine told me that painting suits me. I didn't expect it to make me feel this soft. Damn.

[ivys-head-is-spinning]

okay hi y’all here we go.

first up to anyone who doesn’t like what I’m about to say you can scroll, or block me I don’t care. and also if you are going to hate on this post, read the full thing. hate me after you’ve read everything I’ve had to say so you at least see my side.

also I’ll be referencing some stuff @ya-what--ya-erster and @knockoff-conlon have said so definitely read some of the stuff they have said as well.

(and just don’t send hate to the asks boxes of my friends and I. thanks. It’s not that hard.)

Second sorry if I said things that may of offended people but please know I didn’t do so without reason. People, ADULTS, have been sending hate out to my friends and I for saying things like “newsies let’s go!” Or “I hope cats doesn’t win”

and look I understand we all have different opinions that’s called life. But saying that we are “so rude” for saying things like that is dumb I’m sorry but it is. Saying we don’t want cats to win is not a direct punch in all of your faces. It’s our opinions.

so of course this fuelled a strong reaction out of myself, and out of other newsies fans. If we splashed a little water in your faces, you sent tidal waves back (paraphrased from a quote by @musical-dash-trash).

what is hurting us is that adults are telling us our we can’t have opinions, and that our feelings are invalid and by disagreeing with them we are disrespectful.

a lot of the newsies fandom is made up of teenagers, and most of us have turned to this show as a sort of light in the dark. we use tumblr as our safe space to escape the struggles of our daily lives, no matter what they be, to just talk about a show that means so much to us and get away. One thing is that the cats fans are filling up the newsies tag so people in the fandom are getting all this hate down our throats are we are just trying to exist on here.

of course teenagers are going to be a bit crazy about our favourite musical. we are going to say and do the wrong things and be a bit too much. I guarantee many of you have done it but you just choose to not think of it and only focus on the mistakes we make. we need room to learn and grow and say the wrong things sometimes. again that is LIFE. go think about a time where maybe you were a little obnoxious or immature. we’ve all been there.

I’m not using this as an excuse I promise. but I’m using it as a reminder.

we don’t need you guys posting screenshots of everything we’ve said wrong. please think about how that can hurt us. it’s weird and wrong.

people are ignoring the fact that we’ve received hate too though. most of us get ignored or gaslighted enough by adults in our daily lives we sure as hell don’t need it from you guys. and don’t expect us to just forget about everything because any little thing you say can affect someone, I’m trying to learn this myself. (“the axe forgets but the tree remembers” and all that)

to me this has become more than one musical over the other. it’s trying to get my voice heard in a world that will never listen to anyone who isn’t old enough to buy a house. and I know many other people are feeling the same right now.

so please as you carry on with your lives and this pole, remember we are all human, we are all continuously making mistakes.

many people in the newsies fandom have come out and apologized but then got more hate thrown at them. please don’t continue to yell at us and tell us that we are solely in the wrong or that we are too young. we know we messed up but you guys did too.

and if for some reason you can’t see any of the points I’m trying to make, that’s okay. just keep scrolling. so once again, this is my apology for the things I said wrong, and your reminder to take more time to listen to the kids in your life. wether it be on tumblr or in your real life, just try and hear us out sometimes. I know it’s hard but we are all trying. you guys were in our position before too. remember that.

@sensibiliitatem -  [p.s.c.]

“Chaaarliiiiie~”

The second Race has the door to the cafe bumped open with his slim hip, he’s already singing out her name, completely heedless of the other eating patrons. Do they look at him? Yeah - but Race is used to being looked at already.

And ain’t nothing getting in the way of his mission.

He saunters in like he owns the joint and walks straight past Charlie, turning to tug at one of the tendrils of hair hanging down from her ponytail. “C’mon, sweetheart, spot me a lunch, eh? Y’know I’ll pay y’back~” He sends her a wink and a grin, then drops gracelessly back into a chair and tucks his arms right behind his neck.

@wickedpraycrs​ - Spot {continued from [x]}

The guts? Spot thought he didn’t have the guts to kiss her?

In a way, she wasn’t wrong. Race knew who was up for grabs when it came to locking lips, and it was mostly giggling girls who twirled their curls around their fingers and surly boys who dared Race to make a move on them. He wasn’t all that used to a combination of temperaments and gender outside of his normal experiences.

Even still, her words stoked the embers that always smoldered in his gut when he was around her, fanning them into an explosive inferno that drove him forward as he snatched the cigar from his lips. One hand found her shoulder, pushing her into the nearest wall, and the next moment he was stealing a furious kiss from her mouth. And another. And another. Until he thought he might die, walking back to the lodging house in his body’s current state.

When he broke the kiss he stayed close, but took his hands off her, the space between them diminished by his body and the wall behind her alone. “Ya gonna hit me now, Conlon?” he murmured on a thin whisper, holding her gaze.
